CLASSICS ARE BETTER
США
Добавлен 4 май 2020
ClassicsAB is dedicated to working on & checking out classic cars & trucks (primarily 1950s to early 2000s) with maybe few modern cars thrown in from time to time. Please follow along as myself and friends build some of our own projects vehicles, feature other cool classics & even check out some car shows along the way. I aim to show that any one can get out and wrench on a classic, and make their car or truck just a little bit better regardless of your skill level. I am literally a guy wrenching in his backyard shop, if I can do it, any one can!

C10 Interior gets Dakota Digital Gauges, Color Swap, Kick Panels, Carpet, and More!!
Gutted the inside of my C10!! On this video I am redoing the entire interior of my LS swapped 1966 C10 (Bandit). I am replacing the carpet, changing the cab and dash colors, adding Dakota Digital HDX Gauges, new steering wheel, adding a radio, wiring up new headlight and taillight switches, and more! After my faux patina paint job, this is the biggest transformation on this truck so far! It was a lot of work, but I think it turned out pretty sweet, thank you for watching.

Thanks for video. I ordered AC Delco oem part. Installed easily. The lights have a greenish glow compared to everything else white. Were they always greenish or white backlit I can’t remember?
I am glad that it worked for you! I believe the older gauges where more on the green side then they kinda moved to the pale white/yellow later. That's just my observation though, I am not totally sure.
What radiator and hoses you use?
Im sorry, I don't remember. I had bought about 5 hoses in the shape I needed from Autozone and returned the 3 I didn't use. The radiator is from JEGS, Champion Radiator 3 row (CC284).
Thank you.
Does this method work on a 2005 Chevy Colorado?
I haven't worked on a Colorado myself, but in pics the dimmer looks extremely similar, I would think it controls the gauge brightness the same way.
Is the steering wheel spline keyed? Will it only slide on to a certain keyed position?
I don't recall a spline on the wheel itself, it has a nut, it's best to center the wheels first so you can reattach it centered and you should be good. Best of luck.
Was great before the black at the end
why does the grill remind me of an 80's casio? i love it and i drove one once and it was incredible. when i played with cars as a kid i always love that shape.
They are a classic for sure, drove like sitting on a couch, loved it. Thank you for watching.
Poor video of prep
I have a 66 C10 that I frame up restored myself. I painted it myself too. The paint just isn't good enough for a shiny paint truck. So, I'm considering a faux-tina job. Can I faux-tina the truck if I've already painted the truck?
Thank you for watching. I don't see why you couldn't do it after paint. You'll have to scuff up the clear coat so your new paint sticks on top, but that's the advantage of the faux patina, it's supposed to look kinda crazy. What color is your truck painted now?
Looking good brother!! Color looks good and the Dakota digital gauges are killer.
Thanks bro!
Big fan of the clean interior! Simple but classy.
Thanks buddy!!
🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻looks great 👍
Thank you!
Did your air stop blowing cold too ?
It had stopped blowing cold, but turns out that the valve that you fill the freon at was leaking on my truck. If your blower works, but you can't get any cold air or its just out of some vents, then you probably have a broken actuator door. There are a few under the dash that control hot/cold air flow.

Thank you!
Hey man. How is the front leading edge of the headliner finished? Is it just the fabric rolled over the edge of the fiberglass and glued? Or is there a pinch molding over the edge too?
The TMI headliner is just wrapped around the front edge of the the panel and glued down to it. The pinch molding is just the sides, and the sail panels wedged in hold it up in the back.
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER on mine the front edge hung down too far, even after we put screws through the fiberglass into the sheet metal bracing of the roof. So I trimmed it back 1” and then we pulled the fabric forward and tucked it into the rubber windshield channel. Now to see if the glass and rubber will go in.
@@Brody-Dolyniuk Nice, now its custom lol, let me know how it goes, I am curious how it turns out. Im surprised it sagged, mine was dead on, did you attached the rear view mirror and sunvisor mounts? That helps hold it up against the roof as well.
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER my headliner was notched out around the rearview mirror mount, so that didn’t help at all. This is on a 67 Nova.
Also I have a roll cage so couldn’t use the visor mounts. So we put a couple screws in the leading edge.
If in my 07 duramax the 1-2-3 work but not my 4-5… still the resistor ? Great video
Haven't worked on an 07 duramax, but the resistor effects all the speeds, they are reasonably priced and can wear out over time. I'd check the resistor & your control panel to start. Good luck!
After 3 Foxbody Mustangs I’ve never broken 1 bolt on my headers. They’ve all been off and on multiple times and reused and never had one strip. Chevy must use Chinese made bolts
I went there, my grandpa got top 85 with his orange truck
That's awesome, top 85 outta 1200 is pretty darn good.
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER yup
Great job!!!! How much of the green paint did you use?
Thank you! I used about 90% of a quart of Chevy 503 Light Green. Just wanted it thick enough I could get coverage, but still be able to sand through pretty easy.
Thanks
I liked it best at 6:30
Thank you for watching! Yep just using the patina pebble approach only you can def keep it more subtle.
11:26 great video, and you got mine in it too!
Heck ya man, thank you for watching, your paint job is awesome!
Hello! I was wondering if you might have any wisdom to share for my issue. I have this problem. The lights dimmed and slowly turned off as you've described. I will replace this just in cover my donkey. But since messing with it (not replaced it yet) the lights stay on and do not dim. Now both heat seaters do not turn on, nor do the seats adjust anymore, all within the last 5 days. Do you have an idea for assistance? I figured it was a long shot to ask, but it doesn't hurt. Thank you in advance! I appreciate your video greatly!
I would check the fuses for your seats and seat heaters they may have blown. Also sometime the controller/buttons in the driver door (far as the heater) can wiggle loose. Never had that specific problem before, sorry im not more helpful on it, good luck!
I made the video riding scooter. lol!
heck ya! Thank you for watching.
1:13 Bluetooth radiator? (Wonder why the owner pushed it up under the core support? Looks like some work to cut the big notch in for the cap and so on...)
I noticed that too, truck was super cool & clean, but yea the rad placement was interesting.
This is going on my list of things to attend with my son. Did you get to take your c10? I’m not all the way through the video yet. Had to comment lol
It's a great time out there! Didn't get to take my C10, unfortunately it still needs exhaust and the upholstery done, almost there with it! My sticker went to my buddy's James' 77 stepside.
Didn’t actually explain the process at all…
What is the patina paint you used?
The green is Chevy 503 Light Green, the brown and red are just from a rattle can, the red was redoxide, used satin and flat black, and I think the brown was called leather brown. Thank for watching!
Have concerns about the original miles. The spare is NOT an original. It’s a narrow white which weren’t around then. Seat material isn’t original and a few other things Ike engine repaint etc.😊
Thanks
The coffee grounds was pretty cool
Thank you!
I replaced my dimmer it works. But now my 2001 tahoe went in to security anti theft mode and won't start any advise?
Never had that happen to me before, I would leave the battery unhooked awhile and see if it resets the module, or possibly check your ignition wiring and make sure it hasn't rubbed through somewhere making the system think your trying to hot wire it.
You can keep your Faux Patina?
You didnt have to take engine mounts or anything loose? Thats what i keep hearing
Nope didn't mess with the engine mounts at all, there is a single bolt clip mounted to the engine so maybe that's what they meant. Biggest hassle for me was working around the 4wd drive shaft, if it was 2wd I would have had significantly more room.
@CLASSICSAREBETTER mine is 4wd as well and a 2500hd with no lift. Idk if that makes a difference or not. I'm was just curious because mine is leaking pretty bad, I'm either gonna replace it or put a blocking plate on it
@@reverandhale863 It would be a lot better for your engine if your able to keep it. You can get a little more room to work if you remove your oil filter or front drive shaft during your install. I would get it as high off the ground as you safely can (always us jack stands) and give it a shot, a blocking plate can always be plan B if you can't get it to work. It's all just nuts and bolts, just gotta stay after it. Good luck!
@CLASSICSAREBETTER only reason I contemplated a blocking plate is because it's a 2500 but I really don't tow heavy or run it hard. I'm gonna think on it a couple days before I make a decision. Thanks for the input
Is linseed oil a fire risk after drying?
The linseed oil on the vehicle isn't a fire risk, but the rag you use is. Don't wad it up in the trash, lay it out on the concrete somewhere to totally dry, it can off gas while drying and combust in a small space....science its weird lol. Best of luck, thanks for watching!
Can you do this over old paint too
Yep, it should work over old paint. Start thin as possible, a little goes a long way.
That can out really good 🫡🫡🫡🫡 Anxious to see the copper on top now. Good job. I’m gonna subscribe 💪🏽👌🏽
Thank you!
Fantastic video thanks! I do have one question if I may - where does the heater core go when you do the ls swap? My 65 c-10 has it in the engine bay and I noticed your original heater core wasn't there.
Hey thank you for watching! So my C10 didn't have a heater core when I bought it. I just plan to do aftermarket heat/ac in the future, I believe you could just plumb in your heater core if you wanted to use it with your LS swap, but I haven't messed with that myself. Best of luck on your project!
Where did you order this steering wheel from because I'll try to look everywhere I can't find one for mines is a 04 Chevy Tahoe LT they keep showing me still will cover not the actual steering wheel... 👀
Thank you for watching. I got mine from the suburban I took my motor from, but if I needed another I would grab one from a pick and pull junkyard or they have them available on ebaymotors. Good luck!
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER ok thank you
I don't even bother, mainly because I have a welder. Here in the Rust Belt there's always 2-4 already broken, so it adds less time to weld a nut to a freshly broken bolt than spend 10min wiggling it.
For those with the skills welder is definitely the quickest way!
If only i had a nice lift like this lol
I love it more and more all the time, saves my back lol.
Cool
I weld a 1/2" nut on the bolt head and they come right out. Bolts are still good to reuse. It just takes a 3/4 socket.
Heck ya, nice, if it works it works.
My dash lights go COMPLETELY out every time I apply the brakes during daytime...at night it's not a problem...would this be the cause...
Never heard of that before, maybe check your light sensor on the dash, and the wiring to the dimmer and brake switch, sounds like a dying sensor or a wire has rubbed through and is grounding out. Good luck!
Shit, & here I was trying install the gasket upside down this whole time for 20 minutes. 🥴
Glad it helped, best of luck on your project!
It came out awsome
Thank you!
Very helpful video
Thank you!
Never drill in the top or bottom of a frame. It weakens it.
Where are you located at? See the UNT flag.
Go Mean Green, I'm still out near Denton.
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER nice. I’m in Sanger. Might have to get you to help me do this to my 66 f100.
THANK my FRIEND
Thanks for watching, hope it helped!
This is a really nice impala 68 i got a impala 68 4dr hardtop but its pretty beat to hell condition but you got a really nice impala i like the color.
Thank you! They are huge but great cars, the blue is "grotto blue".
How does it feel after curing? Still oily?
It will dry out pretty well, but it will stay just slightly tacky.
