Welcome to Its The Chad! I'm a guy who loves old Chevy Trucks! I spent years building my first C10 with my dad when I was a teen. I created this channel to encourage fathers and sons, grandpas and grand kids and guys on really tight budgets to keep keep turning wrenches on these old trucks. I hope to provide you with my cheap tips and tricks that I have learned on my journey as being a father, DIY home remodeler, Driving Instructor, Chevy pickup tinkerer and Market Place flipper. Sit back and enjoy the ride with this C10 Truck Nerd!

I hate thieves so much it's unreal
I got a peg perego battery. I jest took it off the old one. But it has an in-line fuse on the negative post. Should I cut it off and use the one you Recommend. Or leave it and not do the one you say??
Also don't follow in the footsteps of the westerly RI man who decided that his head was a great place to shoot a mortar firework off of and ended up no longer with us
America fell. Freedoms not free.
Let's go brandon!
I’ve had to do this a few times on both my old Dodge Grand Caravan, and my Town & Country. It’s a pain in the backside to say the least, so if you have problems with getting under the vehicle etc. just get a good roadside assistance service, and let them know how to do it as a lot of them don’t know how to do it. Great video 👍
10 tips? You only need one: Do not leave your trailer anywhere without a PROPER trailer lock on the receiver!
Honest Criminals ? Where ?
Thanks for sharing 🎉
Done this on most my RAM and Chevy's over the years
Like all your videos.. have a 1972 GMC C2500 pickup that I'm giving some TLC. Noticed you have a newer bench seat in one of your videos. I need to replace/update mine. Any videos for that task?
Great video. Thanks for posting
I have a 67 short bed small back window 4x4. I’ve owned it 20 yrs, this has taught me alot about it. But, mine has air. And it’s not underdash, it’s thru the dash and has factory AC controls. You did not mention if these yrs came w AC? Thank you !
You bet and thanks for the support! AC in 67 was a very rare option. Only about 3% came with it, so you’ve got a good one being a swb 4x4!
@@ItsTheChad71 thank you very much for responding. I knew it was rare- but not that rare! I’m fixin to restore it for my wife’s 40th in 3 yrs. It’ was blue like this one as I can see it on the underside of things as there are still most of its body parts in place after someone else did what they did before I bought it. But, the bed doesn’t look like it came w the body as it shows no blue anywhere rather a color that matches one misplaced/replaced front fender w a filled side marker in it, and the bed has tail lamps that were filled in as well. It also has a 350 in it and auto trans. How would I find out the original motor, trans and bed style ? I’m considering putting a step side on it but I’d like to maintain as much originality to it. I appreciate any info thank you very much. Great channel 👍🏼
I'm the Ford Alcoa truck restore guy, in San Diego, ..was a huge market, .. slow now but steady....
I'll just use a trailer I just stole to load your trailer on it and now I have two trailers. Work smart, not hard. 😉
Dang it!
Thieves suck. We have a local tool rental company here that went around stealing heavy equipment, trailers etc. then rented it out. The guy was busted with texts from his partner telling him where equipment was that was easy to steal. They found lots of stolen equipment at his tool rental business.
That’s crazy a company would do that! I’m glad they got busted, but I’m sure they are out doing it again!
Buy a trailer dolly and then use it to park your trailer backward in your garage or if in the driveway, the hitch toward the house.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Loosing the bolts on the wheels when you store it!
I like it! Won’t make it far.
I have a 35 ft. Motorhome. It is parked in the sun, no cover or garage, all the time here in upstate SC. I have tried several different waxes and compounds and have found nothing beats Meguires ultimate compound 67 and Flagship wax. Both are for gelcoat and fiberglass. After compounding and waxing, it will look like new
I bet that takes a minute to polish and wax a 35 footer!
Pro tip
I’ll take the spiders over snakes!
i live in california and they dont wanna bite you and they run
Ours don’t seem to be phased by humans. The y just stand their ground.
DUDE, why do black widows love under fenders!? Its everytime for me. Especially if the car sat for a long time.
I hear you! They are in my fenders, under my wheels next to the garage and under every big rock around here.
How about the license plates ?
Yerp!❤
Still better than a snake!
Love old Chevy C10s. Love the website 67-72chevytrucks.com
Good video.
I appreciate it!
You know the do not remove tag on your mattress.... its like that.
You said it!
1. 12 gauge
Deterred!
Words to LIVE by!
You’ve got it worse having both spiders and lots of snakes!
We used shipping crates from honda bikes ATV. Generators. All kiln dried lumber for sheds and dog houses
Im confused as to why you called it a black widow because the black widow is a similar looking American spider but it doesn't have the red marking, so you must be in Australia
Not sure where you live at, but everywhere on the east coast, Black widows have that red hourglass all day long
@@southernebikingyup even the male spiders do and they are brown but how deadly they are is a myth 😂😂😂 only between 4-8 deaths per year out of roughly 2500 bites per year 😊
@WithSherm Here in the southeastern united states, they are typically black with a red, hour glass. You are correct to most people they are not deadly. Typically, if someone is allergic to bee stings, That person could have some trouble, but a healthy adult without allergies are normally all right
The widows look scary, but the brown recluse around here are much worse!
These fella is definitely a black widow with that messy web and red hour glass on its back.
Eek a spider wait a minute im Australian he's a cute little fella
Haha! I still would take a spider over a snake!
I grew up in the mid North of South Australia and cute little fellas like that are expected company in old and new cars
F... that! 😂😂😂
Agreed!
Ain't goodness I don't live in that type of area
Right? They are everywhere outside on our property.
I first started my mechanic journey in Las Cruses NM and if a car sat for a month or longer and you feel a web 90% of the time it was a black widow.
Ahh nice I’m building a 68 short box chevy c10 right now
Heck yeah! Love them 68s!
The a like to climb up your shirt and bite your armpits, so, idk if gloves will help. 😂
Great! Now I feel like one’s crawling on me now!
FWIU most young healthy adults rarely die from Black widow bites unless you happen to be more allergic to their venom and cause more problems than just the venom itself would do.
Knowledge is power! 💫
For your information, I did exactly what he's telling you NOT to do and got my arm stung 4 times by a black widow. While obviously I didn't die, I was sick for two weeks and my arm and shoulder were very red and swollen. Not fun.
Can confirm being a person that has been bitten twice by a black widow. Brown recluse bite had a worst reaction
Oh goodness, are we grateful for your video! Thank you so much for making this so easy to follow. We live in a part of the world where we seem to have to replace tires every few months, and I can't tell you how much your instructions helped!
I really appreciate it! I’m always happy to see folks be proactive and learn now instead of when they’re on the side of the road! Stay safe and thanks for watching!
Yup. Not more than 10 minutes. Didn’t take the dash side off (I break stuff too easily). I didn’t even know about cabin air filters, so this one is from factory, 120,000 miles and countless dog and cat rescue transports. I really appreciated the hemostat tip. Honestly putting that last clip on took the longest, so was super thankful having the hemo on it.
Use the skid steer you haul on the trailer and flip the trailer upside down. Then put the skid steer in the shop and lock it up good. Takes 2 minutes to flip it over next time you want to use it. 🤣
Thanks for the tips I’ll look into them before I get my Polydrop.
Thank you! Spending a little money up front is definitely worth it in the end. Stay safe out there!
I have a ball fixed into concrete. I put the trailer hitch on that ball and put a lock on.
Good vid
Did you add the chrome step bumper on your red truck? If so, can you tell me where you found it or who the supplier is? Thank you. Jim
I have a 53 Oldsmobile that has that exact bracket and my exhaust pipe went through it and was clamped down
Great video!!! Anyone have a lower thermostat housing for a 72 c10 in line six, 4.1L
I’ve only got an upper from a I6 250.
@@ItsTheChad71 yeah those Ive bumped into a few times. the lower is a bit harder to get. Some sites want $120 a bit too much
I have tried pretty much all of the methods you mention but do not use my trailers a lot so I'm always breaking these locks myself because the corrode to where the key won't open them.
That's very true, you can't really stop a fee. But it can determine that very red hot block. You had as long we just had cut off. We'd trailer about 2 weeks ago to take. Ron and Ronnie, listen a minute.
