We’ve got more great junkyard inventory right here, and if you are a Chevy truck fan, then this one is for you. Chad at Nobody Elses Auto has a ton of great trucks in the yard, and if you are into these round body vintage Chevy and GMC trucks he’s got tons of projects and parts that will absolutely get you excited. We know, because we’ve been there several times and love going each and every time. This one here is ultra straight and solid and we dig it.

So check out this new truck and if you want it, or parts for some other project, hit up Chad at the number below.

Video Description:

This old Chevy is still in fairly decent shape. Considering what these old trucks went through back in the day, this truck managed to survive pretty well! It has some dings and dents here and there, but overall, this truck still looks good! This old truck performed her duties on a regular basis until and engine problem developed. The engine was torn down and repairs were in the works when the project was abandoned.

That’s how I found this one, literally put out to pasture until another day. This one just came in recently, so let’s go take a quick walk around this old Chevy!

If you like old cars, trucks, and automobilia, be sure to check out all of my other videos! Please subscribe so you can keep up with the new videos as I post them!

If you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, 8 AM-8 PM CST, no texts, no e-mails, no messenger, no smoke signals, calls only.

If I don’t answer, I’m probably on the phone with someone else and if you don’t leave me a message, I just assume you’re another telemarketer trying to sell me an extended warranty! LOL!

If you comment, message, text, e-mail, etc., don’t expect me to find it and don’t expect an answer. Thanks for watching, Chad 620-786-4428

Whenever I hear people talking about how hard it is to find C10s, Squarebodies, and OBS trucks, it makes me shake my head because they are out there and plentiful. You have to remember, GM built millions and millions of each of these generations of GM trucks. That means that there are still jillions of them available for sale at every single level. So while it seems unlikely to find one in the kind of shape that Finnegan has found here, they are out there. So what’s it like driving a completely stock 1998 OBS GMC pickup cross country in 2024? Probably the same as it was when it was new.

Let’s see.

Video Description:

Episode 289 of Mike Finnegan’s Garage is a banger! I’m introducing a new project, exploring a spooky warehouse full of cool equipment while trying not to get killed, and driving cross country in a 26 year old truck. This was all made possible by the good people at Bling Sauce and its Platinum line of automotive detailing products. Bling Sauce is so excited about this project that the first 500 viewers who click here and use the promo code “FREEMIKE” will receive a sample pack of Leather Sauce, Secret Sauce and Trim Sauce: https://blingsauce.com/collections/au…

When I see Dave wheeling Mom’s Spaghetti, his full-size Ford, it makes me smile. I mean I’m a Chevrolet guy so I’d probably choose some other body style, but this thing is dead simple, kinda ugly, and all the important stuff is underneath it. I dig this thing and want something similar. As he’s been getting ready for next week’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, he’s been checking things off the list that Mom’s Spaghetti needed and today it is seats, console, and a few other tweaks.

Video Description:

Mom’s Spaghetti Needed some comfortable seating and better storage.. This episode continues on the preparation for Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah. Fresh new PRP seats, custom fabrication of mounts, 38″ Falken Wildpeak R/T Tires, Tuffy center console, and Baja Designs lights. All in one episode. It was a busy few days!

If you are around Moab for EJS 2024 make sure to stop. by the Bestop Kickoff party. Monday march 25 at 4:30pm. In the Parking lot just behind the Food Truck area. Downtown.

Last spring Dave broke his Jeep and it has NOT been fixed for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari. It isn’t like he can’t fix it, but since he’s been wheeling with, and working on, his fullsize rigs they are the ones he’s been keeping going. So to stay with that theme, he’s taking Mom’s Spaghetti, the 1991 Ford F-350 stepside to Moab for EJS. But not before it gets some love. Watch.

Video Description:

It’s time for Easter Jeep Safari again, and my Jeep is still broken from last year. Time to start preparing my 1991 Ford F-350 Mom’s Spaghetti for the trip to Moab Utah. I tackle some issues with the transmission, rear suspension, and even add a little Bling with a metalflake steering wheel.

If you are in Moab for EJS 2024 make sure to stop by the Bestop kickoff party March 25 in the parking lot behind the Food Truck circle downtown. Fred Williams and I will be down there hanging out.

The Murder Nova Burnout Truck is getting closer and closer to done! It’s going to be pretty, have an LS for power, and with any luck will do insane burnouts at will. Check out the latest video in the series below and if you missed any of the previous videos, use the link below to check them out too.

It sure wasn’t pretty, but they got that part in the works and got some suspension under it, so now it is time to stuff some power into this beast. It’s time to build a burnout truck and that’s just what they are going to do. But not before some real work had to happen and part of that was getting this thing up in the air so they could start taking it apart and seeing what is going to need to be done to add some pretty back into the mix. With that sorted it is time to get cracking on some new parts going together and that means some cool stuff from QA1, and several other companies. In the case of the engine, they have chosen none other than Texas Speed and they’ve picked out something special to go under the hood.

Don’t worry, after that this thing is going to be getting all the go fast goodies it needs to successfully spin the tires at eleventy thousand miles per hour in pursuit of all the smoke and tire blowing applause. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

Watch.

Now that Brent is done with the shape of the bed, he’s moving on to the rockers on this truck. Factory it would have come with running boards, and without them there is something missing on the side of the truck. But since it is going to be sitting flat on the ground when parked, he’s wondering if there is really any reason for them. Instead he’s trying out some custom rockes/side skirts. But he can’t decide whether they are right or not. Watch and let us know what you think. Should he keep them, or go for running boards?

This project is one that Brent has had sitting around for some time and has just been waiting to get back onto it. It isn’t your average 1949 GMC, as it is mounted on a modified Caprice chassis and has had the top chopped off of it. The plan is for it to have a removable Carson style top, lots of custom metal work, and more. It’s going to be a full custom style ride but that means it needs A LOT of work. One thing I find funny is that while in most circumstances you want to start a project with the cleanest and straightest ride you can, but when you are building a custom that is going to get a lot of custom metal work anyway, then why not start with something rough? This truck certainly qualifies.

In previous videos, Brent pancaked the hood on this thing, modified the fenders, planned out the bumper, shortened the chassis, shaved stuff, built a one off custom bed and more. There is a lot going on with this project and a lot planned for this thing, although to say that might make you think there is a whole list of what is going to happen to it. But that isn’t exactly Brent’s speed. He works as he goes, tries stuff to see how it looks, and will cut and weld and remove and replace, until it has the look he wants. We love it and it is inspiring.
