"1000 Miles To Go Turn on subtitles or view the transcript at the bottom of the description if you'd like explanations on what I'm doing throughout the video. Approximately [----] miles from home I purchased this [----] Pontiac Bonneville off Facebook Marketplace.

"Fixing Up An Old Chevy C10 Turn on the subtitles if you want more information on what I'm doing throughout the video I just recently drove this [----] Chevy C10 from Idaho to my home in Minnesota. It made the trip almost flawlessly but it needs some tidying up and general maintenance. This thing looks like a pooch on the outside but it's 100% solid underneath and the drivetrain is plenty healthy it sure deserves the overdue work. You gotta love a beat up classic that's ready to drive anywhere. And as always I didn't get done as much as I wanted so there may be more content on this truck."
