1983 was the last year for the windshield wiper switch on the dash & the high beam low beam switch down on the floorboard which was a small button lookin thing you pressed down with your foot. In the middle of the 1984 model year was the last year for chrome windshield wiper arms & blades.

I’m glad to see more people working on older vehicles getting them running. You won’t see stuff like this 20 or 30 years from now because these cars nowadays are disposable.

Very cool project you are working on. Hopefully you can get your Dad’s reaction on camera 🎥 somehow. I felt like I was watching a YouTube video of Watch Wes Work. Oh wait I was 😁. Looking forward to the next episode

[stevebiddle]

Well done! I’m certainly looking forward to you. Getting this thing back on the road. Your dad is going to be delighted.

Super pumped for this project. Love seeing old trucks come back to life.

Once Mickey and Minnie are "launched" out the exhaust path...the "lungs" will be in much better shape...as you know! Congrats! Get you some Lucas gas treatment...change the oil/filter...get some tires...check your brakes...new set of freeze plugs...then good 2 go!

Good job getting your Dad's truck running, I honestly didn't think it would run. 😁 God Bless

Cool project! I'm just finishing my 81 Scottsdale K20 I pulled from a field 6-7 years ago. Now it's a turbocharged beast.

I'm so happy too 😂 northern Michigan farm boy myself square body first truck 1987 custom deluxe

Yes it's an hei and the coil is in the cap. They are reliable and can sit 4 yrs and still spark. I'd check the oil and see if there's water in it and pull the valve covers and check the valve train, take a look at the plugs as well. Gm has the solenoid on the starter, Ford has it on the fenderwell, although a ford style solenoid can be used. Good luck with it, hope it makes ur pops happy!!! Runs pretty good for sittin so long. 👌

[bobtucker]

Great content, good luck 🤞. Your dad will be happy I'm sure.

Great video. Good to see that you're doing alright. Truck sounds good. I would definitely change the fuel pump and the sending units on the tanks. Definitely check the fuel lines for leaks. Same for the brakes. Have a great week.

[gail]

Wow Wes, this is great! Really looking forward to next part.

[jeffsimons]

That sounded pretty good for sitting all them years on the start up and run

If you need any parts Potts junk yard west of Morocco used to have alot of square body chevy trucks in there

[douggrove]

Put some baking soda and water on an old tooth brush. To clean the contacts.

[karljacobson]

Good to see a video. Did you guys get that Pete fixed that was wrecked??

[darylmiller]

Love the video Westin! Nothing better than an old square body. What kind of tool box is it that you have in the back over your truck?

[MidwestToolReview]

Look behind the seats in trucks to see what may have caused it to be sitting...

[zillaable]

is your new shop complete?? and see you have a lot of junk behind you are planning clean it up back there??? or not???
