In this video we give the 1988 Chevy C30 Wrecker tow truck some more TLC. Sloppy shifter fix, power steering pump, weld the broken frame and more.

Pretty good repair on the frame. I had to do that on a trailer once
nice work man, really enjoy the vids
My 99 suburban got them oil cooler lines, I just replaced them, one of them like blew up and I had oil everywhere, They are not fun to do on a 4×4, the oil filter sits sideways, above the front drive shaft, not to mention the transmission brace that I could not get a socket on it, had to take it off with wenches and maybe a 10th of a turn, it sucked! No room to do anything, I was about to drop the diff. Took better part of 5 hours lol. At least that old thing is just 2wd, way more room around the oil filter area!
Also you can buy plugs for that oil filter kit that just plugs where the lines come from, I've done it on a few chevy trucks over the years where people didn't want to keep the oil cooling part of the system.
26:01 silly pup time
A Coffee Mug sent me.
Love the work, video and the wrecker. Keep them coming!
Enjoyed the vid man!
Chris, Great content! Now Up to 329 Subscribers! Keep up the great work!!!
Great content, love this wrecker. Is there a way to hook up to a trailer? Some kinda receiver hitch?
Did you build the work bench with vice stored underneath or buy it?
By the look at that leaf spring, that frame has no other option but to snap again…
Standard Chevrolet oil filter adapter will allow a normal spin on filter. Melling MFA350 $20.
First time watcher here , I've worked my whole life in truck and trailer shops, I think you did a fine job on this , next time it'll probably be going to the scrap yard .
There’s so much potential to make money with that old beast. NoNonsense Towing and Repair…3rd channel for towing recoveries… As hard as you work the sky is the limit.
And I love seeing vehicles saved from the crusher older vehicles are so much fun to mess with
Id love to bring my wife down and hang out with you an Jen in the summer we are just alike love doing same stuff . Love your channel and you both personality are great
I'll have to show my father in law those brackets you found, he's been running wreckers and ramptrucks for years. They didn't look familiar but he would know.
I work with people that are insanely afraid to weld on a frame and have ridiculous claims about the law on it… I don’t see how if you fix it and it doesn’t cause an accident, you’re good.. Everything I weld is better than factory since factory is bare minimum…
Love man. What a cool project truck. Nice add to the fleet
amazing content and great videos hope you Jen Gus and Turbo have a great and safe holiday
Love this sortve thing making use of what you got and making it work
Jumping up and down yelling “Oh yeah! That’s fixed Bbay!’ had me loling. New meme? Great vid once again.
Great job on that c30 I love it. When using the wheel lift not sure if you know you suck it in and then you put it out just like 4 inches. so it can turn like it's supposed to when you're going around turns. Hope that was helpful.
Need on board air compressor on wrecker
