I gues I need to watch the whole video. 🤷🏻♂️😱
So how come you didn’t clean the bearings and repack them. I mean if you are going to the trouble of doing all that. And what is sad is, I’m wondering if those new parts are Heckto in China.
Steering wheel is wobbly as hell brother
Surprised you didn't replace the caliper
Why did you wash the truck if you were going mud playing 🤷♂️
Why do people call '81-'87 GM trucks "square bodies"? Their nose is just as rounded/sloped as an '88, and no one calls those square bodies. About all they did in '88 was remove the body line. Square body = '73-'80.
Sucks Brandon left the show. He was cool
The FallGuy stunt truck actually had the motor in the bed. So it wouldn't nosedive when they jumped it.
This guy is going to stick to his early 90s Ford's.
Could we please get a good solid video for a 5.7 vortec please!!!!! Instead of these ls swaps I wanna see how far an ol 5.7 can be pushed and even boosted!
I'm confused, they washed it to take it off road? They should come to VT for mud season 😆. That "off road" park is basically %75 of the roads here in VT.
Are these old shows that were meant for TV? Or are these actually made like now, in 2022? This truck btw in mint!
All those shiny new brake parts….on the old crusty hubs?! Who wouldn't spend an extra 15min and $5 and just paint the hubs?? Wwhhyyy??
作った車はどうするの?😢
I always wash my 78 Bronco before I go mudding. My dent side ford.
Didn’t Stacy David just build a Fall Guy tribute truck?
The only thing that kills me at RA is the shipping. Ends up costing just as much, if not more, as I pay at O'Reilly. Now if they offered free shipping on anything over $100 like Summit I'd use them more.
Let's go Brandon ! 🤣
My dad "They stopped building trucks in this country when they moved the tank out of the cab…" Looks great and I will be following this build closely…
a 4" lift and 35's will get that thing sitting nice
Kinda silly you washed the truck first then went muddun.🤣🤣
Why not repack the bearings?
Man I wouldve done the rear main seal while trans was out.
Replaced the flex plate, but used the old flex plate and torque convertor bolts. Ummmm….after all of that banging and rattling around, I would've put new flex plate and torque convertor bolts.
Stacy david already did the fall guy
Worlds first relatively rust free Chevy!!
The olee 10 dale
so how much did you pay for the truck? Around $10k I think
I wished they would have supported the frame before jumping the truck
is it a flex plate or flywheel
You replace the brake lines on a 37 year old vehicle but didn't replace brake caliper 🤔
Be sure to check the damper to make sure that ain’t the reason the flywheel bolts came loose
I had a 91 K10 Blazer. That thing was beastly. I slapped some 36 inch tires on it and a tow truck bumper from an old 90’s tow truck. Instant tank.
i love power nation ! i use to wake up and be excited everytime it was one tv ! really lovve power nation !
my dad taught me how to drive in GMC equivalent of one of these
I love the old square body K series trucks I've owned a few of them almost bullet proof in stock form , one of mine had an SM465 4SPD and 4.10 gearing , it was a monster in the mud or crawling around with the granny 1st gear , true Legend of GM TRUCKS
His name is already on the side of the truck. Dale! It's on the fender. 😆
Ask rockauto where’s my discount codes 😒
