    I’d love to see a full build on a ford bull nose. This level of quality and the fit and finish is beautiful. I’m just a ford guy at heart but I respect the build

    My great grandfather bought a brand new 79 C10 back in the day. It’s never left the family and I’m the 4th generation to have it. My plan is to LS swap it and travel the country with my wife some day.

    9:09 what us tall guys need is the front of the seat to be raised so we have thigh support. I had to do that to all my squares that had stock bench seats in them. I raised the rear 2" and the front 3.5" then It stopped hurting my hips to drive them long distance.

    I saw this at Sema, the interior and those wheels entire combination just I fell in love with. I said to many I still say this now of all the cars I saw at Sema this last year this is the one I would take home.

  • @weskirkland5850
    @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

    4:52. That is perfection. Don't change a thing. That is a Squarebody as an escalade. Only thing I would change about that is the driver...lol

    • @weskirkland5850
      @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

      I been looking at that pic for 10 minutes and cannot find one single thing I would change about it. It's just right. the 4 small gauges, the door handle relocation, the touch screen, the 4wd knobs... that gorgeous steering wheel. keeping the ac vents where they were... seat and console... trim on top of instument cluster bezel, wood on steering wheel door panels, keeping the vent wings. damn its beautiful.

    • @weskirkland5850
      @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

      Even that color goes with damn near every exterior color. Mine would be a black 77 with full outer trim with the yellow stripes.

    • @weskirkland5850
      @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

      did find one thing. get rid of the 1500 on rh side of dash. Chevy isnt a gmc. put the trucks trim level there like its supposed to be.

  • @weskirkland5850
    @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

    4:52 been looking at that picture for 10 minutes. I can't find one single thing wrong with it. I can't find one single thing I would change. That is amazing. Every single thing is just right. That's your Denali Interior, maybe even Squarebody Escalade.

    @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

    9:22 go for buckets in some of them. I upgraded my 78 c20 with 91 suburban bucket seats. They ride really well and have a center console. Most people aren't riding 3 people in these things. Get some buckets. 91 burban seats are a good place to start and they have fold down arm rests on both sides.

    @fly-over1517 6 месяцев назад

    Before reading ANY of the other comments, I have to say this. YES, i grew up with square bodies also,my mom had two Chevy Blazers, Burgandy 1974 was a complete lemon, had Chevy, buy it back because of all the defects and then special ordered a 1976 Blazer with custom moss green factory paint, so that being said I absoulutly love that you kept this truck with original paint scheme and colors and all the natural look it could possibly have. LOVE IT.

  • @CavanalK5
    @CavanalK5 4 месяца назад

    9:33 that seating position is very smart to incorporate. 6’4” 285 so I’m a K5 guy for that reason. I’ve remounted my drivers seat a few inches back that is impossible to do in a regular cab with a factory seat. Slick build!!!

    It’s a beautiful truck if you make 6 figures. I almost ordered one with the same colors in 1975. K20, deluxe camper package for $6,400. Bought my first vehicle a 1973 K20 deluxe camper pkg for $3500 instead . Still have it.

    I lost my teeth in a square body.
    Just thought I'd share my square body story.
    I saved for years to buy a classic truck. I finally found the perfect one. A 1975 K-20. It was in great shape. Needed a few things mechanically, but was drivable. One day on my way to work, a Nissan Altima going 105mph crossed the yellow lines and hit me head on. Paramedics had to pry the steering wheel out of my mouth. My entire face had to be reconstructed.
    I'm currently working on fixing up my dad's old 72 C-10. I actually prefer the round bodies over squares, but this one needs a lot more work than my K-20 did. I'm hoping one day it'll be half as nice as the square body in this video.

  • @weskirkland5850
    @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

    Sexiest one of these trucks is a '77 in black with full trim with the yellow lines in the trim. That's the one I'd have built.

    • @weskirkland5850
      @weskirkland5850 2 месяца назад

      That blue and white is my second choice but I don;t want the 77 trim on it. want the black striped trim.

Was still into the muscle cars back then, had a 68 charger in the late 70s but would love to have a truck like that now!!

    Only thing I'd change about it, is dumping that LT1 for either a built ~600hp LBZ Duramax sitting in front of an Alison trans, or a built 454ci LSX (with accompanying 454 badge for the front grille) with a Holley Sniper EFI and both vintage, correct looking air cleaner and the coil/valve covers that look like big block valve covers, a peppercorn German Square Weave carpet, 2 more inches of lift (it looks awful close to those little 35s lol), and swapping that blue out for either Burnt Orange Iridescent, Lime Iridescent, or Dark Olive Iridescent.... never was a blue guy ...oh forgot one thing, and the Deluxe Two Tone, not the Special (I like the matching roofs to side tone over the roof matching the base)..... other than those, she's perfect 👌😅
    Edit: ok ok, I'd rather have straight Dana 70's front and back with 4-Links, but I still wouldn't mind an IFS for the comfort 😅
