Neat-O, It just amazes me how some of these old trucks sit for so long, and you can get them to start and run again with a little effort. I wonder if you could pull that off if you took a 2005 truck for example and parked it for 32 years.

Wish they'd taken a little better care of her - good runner, but really rusty. Original mileage less than 30k. Dropped the pan and the bottom end was pretty darned clean.

Cool David, sounds like a good solid running engine. Might have
missed it, but does she have a three or four speed? Obviously,

That body doesn't look any worse than a lot of them I've seen
here on the bolt. Some of the guys have resurrected ones that
were in way worse shape than that.

David, great video👍. It still amazes me every time one of these relics wakes up from a long slumber and runs like the day it went for its nap!

Enjoyed watching your video.
Nice to see another "cracker" on the Bolt.

...I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard the lady say "don't do it". She had just as well lit rocket fuel with a match. David would do it or die!!!
Thanks, David, for sharing. I needed the chuckle today smile

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

GREAT VIDEO they were made to last.




These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.

Great video! Keep 'em coming, and see if you can't latch the hood properly before you do that again.
