C10 Pickup Is it worth Saving? Swamp Donkey C10 Episode 3

What happens here

After confirming fuel flow, the presenter reconnects the fuel line to the carburetor. He gives the engine a final squirt of fuel into the carburetor, then attempts to start the truck. The engine sputters and comes to life. He then puts the truck in gear and drives a short distance, demonstrating its running capability. However, he quickly reiterates the complete lack of brakes, showing the truck slowly stopping by grinding the transmission into gear. He expresses a need for plywood to lay under the truck to work on the brake lines.

Goal: Confirm engine functionality and prepare for brake repairs.
