I've got a nearly restored 75 and it's awsome!
Curious to know how much this cost.
I really enjoy these programs showing what can be done to various vehicles. That being said, I would REALLY like to see a “few” that show case builds for people like me, who don’t have “$100,000” to spend on a project 😊
Great job! One of my favorite builds from you guys!!
Beautiful Style bro
I'll never put clear coat on anything again. It increases the costs of ding repair exponentially; and when it fails, it looks monstrously horrible and leaves no option but to re-spray the entire car. Stick with single stage, in a color that you can get easily in a rattle can from the parts store.
$$$$$
You guys are pissing me off ignoring the Fat Stacks build this long.
The 6.2Diesel When boy When
You done
a SB 350 three hundred and fifty times
WHEN BOY WHEN
I've got an 85 long wheelbase K10 retired police truck I've been restoring for my son as we're working on it we find that when we hit the brakes the transfer case whines and jumps out of gear I've had it at three transmission shops and no one can tell us what the problem is can you possibly help us this is his only ride back and forth to the base. Been big fans for years hope for some help keep up the great work!!😃
Where did you find the winch mount/brush guard?
All these "tips" boil down to just spend a lot of money.
1980 c30 454 dually. Mostly stock. Driving it at modern highway speeds is interesting considering the national speed limit was 55mph and my camper special got the 4.56 gear set
Who the hell are these guys? Where are the original hosts of this project build?
Thanks to these shows our trucks are no longer cheap.
Our square bodies "used" to be affordable, but now no one can't find a decent running unit for under a few grand. 20 years ago, we were able to pick them up for around five hundred bucks and drive it down to the DMV to get it registered. Now, five hundred bucks won't get you nothing more than parts. Just two years ago, I had picked up a '76 C10 2wd shortbed for $1300.00, it did not have an engine, transmission, or the bed. That was on the cheap end of what was for sale.
Glad to see you guys doing more content besides just putting the shows on youtube! Keep ‘em coming!
No no, no. Add 632. Problem solved, regardless of outward appearance.
Good job good job 😎😤🚘
Yoooooo that's my guy Eric! Went to autobody school with him!
.7854 x 4.375 x 4,375 x 4.375 x 8 = 525.1 CI BBC instead of a 496 and it's all contained in the stock block
I got an 82 k10 big block 454 2 inch lift wheatland yellow original rally wheels with 33 inch tires disc brakes on all 4 corners it looks really nice
Rebuilt 8.1 L in the Chevelle with a 6-speed transmission now that would be a wonderful project for you guys to take on
I've got an old Italian square body from 88, I've given her a BBL and a Front lift but what else can I do she still ticks loudly when I get her going and put my foot into it and there's rust on her undercarriage . Should I trade up or just give her a grill and slap a sticker on her bumper an call it a day?
You missed the boat on a shackle flip rear for lift. Offroad designs makes the kit for that as well as steering box reinforcement; which is mandatory on a Square, and rear shock eye upper reinforcement brackets.
That NP241 is going to die behind that amount of torque too.
Np205/203 doubler is the way to go particularly in a truck with all that extra room between the transmission and rear axle.
It's a nice build you have there but it's a pavement princess.
You know, maybe these guys were in the background during the build of this truck. I dont know…. Nice restomod,
BUT, your audience is sick and tired of the host changes. Total turn off! Nothing against these guys….MGMT needs fired!
Hopefully replace the hood springs so that doesn't fold and crack the hood like they all used to do.
