DRIVEN FROM GRAVE! Forgotten K20 Rescued After 16 Years! - Vice Grip Garage EP24

well on this episode of I script Raj we rescue a truck that's been sitting on a farm for 16 years and then allegedly bury it in some swamp and get lost great that's perfect [Applause] well about two and a half hours from home on a farm can't add it I was just other side of these trees most likely no or birds up here I do got a part store about hour from here and there's some light traffic on the old highway here it's we're safe I've got my trusty tool box miscellaneous chevy parts and down this here tree line mixed in with the old equipment since the 1969 k20 a lot about a month or two ago and I've just been saving on it a little bit but very good a guy I might come up here and get her on it let's take a walk and I'll show you this beautiful machine well if a guy remembers right it's just down here on left I sure hope it's close are you gonna make it Oh cut the mark the cat's up there better go check on now a little bit later there has got to be 723 thousand pounds in this money says I still won't have what I need today there's a lot of really neat old equipment here just in case any your feelers think you got her hard today get your eyes on this stuff there she is what a beautiful machine we're talking four-speed four-wheel drive and what really sold me on this is she's got a block heater well the fellow that used to own this truck is a really nice guy story goes he used to drive it every day and in 2003 he parked it so she's been sitting a good 16 years he said he's cranked down a couple times but she just hasn't moved and it's sitting on this guy's property here and he's also a really nice feller so it's me and it's at salon I should have a really sound plan yes to what we're doing today and that plan is well let's just get our eyes on it and then help get you the plan a little later on thought for a second that said no trespassing but she's a new BF goodrich you know me not a lot weather stripping it's already a custom model Nicole is property she goes with I got enough wheels back here in tires I bet I could make a set bottom that's some good stuff build up here let's see what the tag say yeah oh three October by the way that's a lie there's about forty eight thousand lakes up here oh my yeah she's been weight reduced pretty good looks like she was a drag racer probably sportsman's model they really reduced honor let's see what we got oh yeah mmm-hmm well normally there's what's called a rocker panel that resides in this area and they went ahead just snip that out get some more weight offer alright that's on the inside here oh okay yeah this is a three petal variety there are these door panels we're cleaning up that's factory custom racing steering wheel got the go-fast shift handle really good weather stripping oh this is nice actually I've got two sets of back glass in here well she's even got a key I'll be depth Oh have you got parts let's go around to the other side okay why don't need to bring nothing starter looks like that's been replaced on blower motor steering box nice nuts that standard issue see what kind of options we had 373 four-speed foam seat saddle molding heavy diffs positraction that's good she's got a heavy-duty clutch in her and black final snazzy outfit let's go ahead and take a gander under the hood see what kind of story that could tell us well definitely a small-block hard to say if it's a 350 it well decode that later let me get the camera in here for you guys and here's what we got going on under here it's uh looking complete got a dizzy carb water pumps been replaced something happened here that don't look too good she's got a never start battery in her and not really sure what that's about that 409 that's gas that starting fluid great so oh and I got a plug wire off so chances are they tried to get her running last time and she didn't fire well back to the old plan on getting this thing running I would go ahead and admit to you fellers I just don't have one but I do know what we got to make sure this thing turns over so it's actually really easy for a guy when there's no clutch on the slam all you got to do is just put some weight on the belt give the old fan blade a tug yeah yeah it's spinning freely both ways so like guarantee I'll get this sucker running let's back that down to about seventy four point six percent guaranteed I'm gonna get this running hmm that's more like it well let's see if the mice ruined another truck I was already out well the carbs they're four barrels work choke isn't stuck bottle moves that's great news [Applause] gaps on Snug coils there she's barbed wired in that's going nowhere do see a lot of mice droppings all I would be surprised if we had some little digital issues on this guy but all we need is power to the coil and zigzag she'll fire yeah I think what I'm gonna do is I've brought a new battery I'm gonna throw that in here throw the sparkle aider wires on and hit the key and at least make sure we get the thing to turn over then we'll throw some fire maker down the throat and see if we can get it to fire if we can get her to fire then we'll do the old man tenants and whatever else on it and then work our way to the clutch and the and the wheels and what have you get out of there you know guy doesn't like buying batteries but some fancy junk boxes are just too expensive to be toting around and this SuperStart 9000 was on sale no I got another double red wire I like how other guys stink like I do don't get the right wire just get the cheap one about half my cars have keys now which is kind of a weird feeling oh look at that pranks immediately well I got my I'm alone with 6,000 trigger hooked up and we'll throw some gas down the carburetor and see if we can get it to fire off this is my I own junk cars mix which is basically say mixture you get for an outboard motor or two-stroke this makes a little easier on the engine okay she doesn't fire that's way too much which is perfect and see what happens nothing so I'm just gonna verify I got the key on keys on give her one more shot I'm also hearing kind of a knock noise down here which is really a promising give her some starter fluid and then we'll start on the digital yeah she's got no spark great all right I got my digital meter out I'm gonna test for voltage at the coil and try to track it down from there I've got 12 point 3 which is actually really good considering I've got twelve point four at the battery so we're only losing point one so I'm gonna pop the cap off and we'll test the points and the condenser next and then we'll go from there I also have a little spark you do hip you test your thing I might just throw on really click and be lazy let's start with that first this tool is really handy if you're absolutely lazy like me you basically plug it into your spark plug wire hit the side on your spark later and there's a little light bulb in here and if she goes off you got spark that goes there and that goes there and you can really trust these because they say China right on them so make sure you heed the results all right let's give it a whirl no spark all right I'm gonna pop this distributor cap off and shook the over the rock these points back and forth that's my screwdriver you get some spark well these look fairly new actually I'll just spike their others so I can force a spark but I'm not getting any when I just roll it over so I think I'm gonna replace the points on the old girl I like I'm gonna drop this little screw and I don't have anything like it now I got to try to find a matchbook that's how I learned to just points was you just slip a matchbook in between them and that's how you get your gap great well I didn't work either I just cranked down for a second I guess I'm gonna go on and test the coil but I gotta get the leads off well not very good with the OL digital's as you guys know but pretty sure the coil is bad so mix gonna run me down to the closest hardware store and it closed pretty early on a Saturday so hopefully they're open when we get there and they have the parts and then we'll try this again for the 59th time well I'll be dipped if they didn't have yep rotor there's the old ignition doohickey so that oughta fix on it we'll put those in oh end I got Sparkle laters so I'm just gonna do all of it right now anyway and then we'll twist on it down and see what we get suppose the guy can verify the firing order while I'm doing this I'll wait till I get everything moved over guess I probably could have picked up sparkle later wires but eyes being Jeep of course the only Phillip screwdriver I gots 58 feet long I'll make it work somehow I'll put the old thunder maker in okay I'll test it again see if we get spark in here so both revolutions I got spark so we got a lick now guys we just need some fuel oh yeah I was gonna put sparkle eaters in it first quick might as well last one finally I got a few of these are just a complete white so they're running very lean so I think intake gaskets most likely shot maybe the old coffee can up here's got a leak on ER well we'll address that some other time that one's okay ish remember fellers when you're putting these new ones and you really got to pay attention to that yeah yeah what am i running this time champions running champions instead of the auto Lloyd's not really sure why sure it had something to do us they're the cheapest thing available at the time I suppose the guy should check the oil click yep good ol well whatever good enough there's about half a cord in it back to where a guy who was about four hours ago except I'm hungrier and thirstier let's try it again putting a little bit down the vent tube and the way too much in the carb and oh gotta turn the key on see if we can make some noise here there she goes I gotta figure out what that knock it is well since she went ahead and fired for a guy like I'm gonna change on the oil today's flavor is 1540 diesel you know me it was on sale once she's got the s and there fellers you could run this in your gas motors and she's actually pretty good for it believe it or not hyper lube never used this before but it's got a flag on it maybe she'll add some horsepower so I'm going to start off with that and then we'll talk her off with the old diesel oil here and then I just realized I don't have any gas and we probably did more than the half gallon that I have to start this so I'm gonna go ask the seller here if we can borrow some gasoline from him he's got enough implements around here he's probably got some this making a funnel out of this here hyper lubes I've only got that five quarts so guy better save on it and make sure most of it hits the engine and this will give me a better target boom look at this fun al I'll be dipped really hoping this thing runs and we can go test on it back here in these trails there's some trees and whatnot we can see if the old 4wd works on her well here's the current state of affair everything here's a brand new mystery built and this is all customized now you don't need them choke cables got the oil change on new battery she got around like a scalded coyote oh I'm actually getting it down the vent tube that's nice all right yes hit her again eat on it all right I think I'm gonna try to keep it running now shoka's wired clothes are open I'm going to go ahead and I can customize that there we go well I'll be dang the chokes don't do it they're supposed to do that knocking noise is the fan hitting the shroud besides it's got oil pressure which you could see the smoke cloud right now a guy just cannot believe it I just sat here in idled I don't know how I keep getting this lucky this is just stupid well suppose the feller should put some coolant in her and I'll borrow some water from the guy's house top her off and that will let her heat up and see how many leaks we have I'm guessing forty nine point two why the smoke is this thick keep some skeeters away let's see if the service that opens up next we're going to wait for it sounds like she's got some chips on her which is a short for glass packs holy Moses she's smoking I'm hoping she's just got a stuck ring or 17 I do like fan shrouds that's inconvenient she's purring like a kitten idols a little high smoke is finally starting to go down a little bit for a guy it's pretty handy having all that weight reduction you can keep an eye on your exhausts readily still got oil pressure and she's even charging for a feller I guess he doesn't need the idle up there goes the thermostat baby sometimes the guys just got a coke something to get hot well she runs like what I'm gonna do now is clean up some of this and drive it down to this guy's shop la a guy can get a jack under here and we'll figure out which one of these nine tires is good and throw them on and then we're just going to go you know give her some money it's Peter that Cole tests on it give her a test boys she's rich in here no not very much wonderful all right here we go guys [Music] [Music] there she goes [Music] look at that just doesn't even make any sense sixteen years drives right out of here like nothing ever happened oh corn oil I needed a jack so home it is gonna help me out here and get our up off the ground a little bit [Applause] all right I'm gonna zing this one off this is BA off she was flat this one looks like it'll work it's like so dig a little bit trail cats sure why not you got chunks of frame bed falling that's fine just you just close your eyes forget about that well a guy found a matching trailhawk 85 or whatever they are so we'll put that on this side you look like they'll dig pretty good so we'll have to test our course well this BF goodrich is not good at all so we're gonna get her off I got one left on here Wow oh this one's pretty bad too got some sidewall splitting but probably won't be surprising I say there's no breaks and that's why she got she would bone-dry on us so I'm gonna put some brake oil in and just pump on him got air and all for now she actually sits a lot higher don't look too shabby all right do a little tune-up before we go like this stuff here Berryman b12 it's just like seafoam but it's literally half the price what I do is dump the whole camp down the engine when she's running when it's nice and hot and I'll clean up the valves and the combustion chamber and blow some of that crap out of there and then we're hitting the road get up over this pirates running really good actually boy this light snow breaks get these long beds in these trees [Music] I've got to get lost I've been making too many rights not on a blast [Music] let's paint our she's very agile for an old girl but plow through it look out oil-pressure don't like her oh stop I'll be dipped we got a tree stand you know I'm starting to we're starting well the guy went ahead and tested on the four-wheel drive and she does not work I mean nothing and I pulled and slammed the bang and twisted she just not drove him so now that she's on the old bumper definitely don't want to walk that way don't want to go that way so I think I'm gonna stick I'm gonna head this way and go find this feller and see if they'll drag me out with the old International [Applause] well that certainly did not work so he's gonna go ahead and go back to the house again and go get the old tractor and bring that back mr. Cheng's i'm sure i'm glad this guy is nice right really be down a creek but that leaves me time to factorize waiting for him so let's get busy first thing a guy had to do is fix a leather strip that's done then of course this is happening Oh already way better in here I mean I'm completely okay with this that's the sweet production but others might not feel comfortable riding in this so I'm gonna go ahead and fix on that a little bit there that's [Music] [Music] Oh tractor did it the old international I gotta go it's pretty soggy now that I know I don't have four-wheel that's even better I do anything right that's a tree you want to go faster through here when you know what your grapes [Music] [Music] stop it yeah [Music] just don't like that well I think that does it for this up sixteen years got it running actually but it's really good I'm very surprised so I'm gonna be hard pressed to get rid of this one we wouldn't test it on her she tested pretty good for Dunphy doesn't work it's probably the linkage of the transfer case I'll fix on that later maybe in a future episode either really appreciate you guys watching make sure you hit the subscribe button a little bell thing down there appreciate it very much and until next time keep your greasy side down
