Having no heat makes for some miserable plowing. Not that we have any snow, mind you, but if we did… Sure nice having heat now, though.

nice ol truck there Jeff.. I would have rather had a nice little half ton
67-72 short box than a 73 3/4 ton long box to restore… BUT its what I
had… and me and that old truck have been many many miles together since
1987 so.. it has sorta grown on me.. you know.. like a wart
The mustard bottle is a good idea.
9:56 That’s what she said.
You’re more than welcome to come and try mine out. The heater actually
works great. The drivers side vacuum powered wiper also works to an extent.
The fact that there’s no drivers side door just means you have enhanced
visibility.
NOTHING is ever simple or easy is it Jeff???
I hate it when I drop my nuts in the snow…
good thing those bottom screws were missing – I had to sneak my arm up
between the inner fender and firewall to get mine out.
good video as always, keeper up.
if I could find the address I would send for the “theft deterrent sticker”.
Why is it heater cores only die when you need hest?
Did you say your heater control panel was broke? I’ve got one that I just
took out of my 72. It is cosmeticly rough but the cables worked. Blower
switch didn’t. If you want it message me your address and I’ll send it to
you.
Changing heater cores is a pain in the ass in the older trucks the new ones
are easier.
i never break a bolt unless its fully seized solid, I usually turn it out
then back in and keep doing it till the bolt fully comes out with little
force.
@Mr55gasser> Nearly all of the heater cores are now made in China. They
don’t make them with the same durability as when the U.S. did. They tend to
leak not long after any tap water is used in your cooling system. You
should ONLY use anti-freeze and/or distilled water.
heater cores, they never seem to make the same one twice.

Ahh heat ain’t that a nice thing.
We need to Boycott Chinese Auto Parts & Food and fish sourced from China !
Poor Quality on Both points !!!
After 10 years with no heat, it should seem like a sauna in there now.
Spray a little P B Blaster on it and Put a small amount of heat.
another video masterpiece!!
did you remember to tighten the bolts in the right rear hood hinge? LOL
you put them in finger tight so it would not fall on you!
can you make a video on the car in front of the gmc
You could remove the blower motor so the seal could be inserted properly to
the cowl.
You know its too bad you can’t talk your wife into letting you bring small
parts like that into the house where its warm. The back porch or mud room
would be an ideal place to warm up that seal.
All is well that ends well, as most of your videos do! Time to do the happy
dance don’t you think?
Yup, Jeff ‘yer like Larry “Got-R-Done”
Classic last words– I thought I fixed all this!
I hate crap parts that don’t fit or work the way they should. This is the
fun i had Holleys remanufactured carbs. The box it came in was the best
thing about it. Metering block full of bead blasting sand, returned it and
got another one, blocked metering block full of corrosion, third one bent
throttle shaft. threw the carb at the parts guy and got a brand new one for
the same price. Found out later the dealer had been ripped off and they
werent from colt industries at all even though they had come in holley
boxes.
Its getting hard to find the good old style brass and copper heater cores.
I still need a new one for my 81
Core replacement on these old chevys are easy. Job well done Jeff !
there is a scratch on your truck
