Hate to see so many haters in the comments absolutely knitpicking this build, if it bothers you that bad go build your own, that's what hot rodding cars/trucks is about. These videos are for education and inspiration, it doesn't have to cater to every individual. There's even some things I might change about it but I'm not gonna go complain and say these guys did it wrong, because there is no wrong with the hobby of building cars. Y'all really letting the hot rod spirit die like this.
My only concern is I would NOT advise people to use gaskets on diff covers. Especially on a truck that's 40 plus years old... The covers have imperfections the cast iron housings have imperfections and a lot of times the gasket just does not make up the variation... 1/4 inch bead of black silicone all the way around on the inside of the bolt holes... It'll never leak
I don’t mind the sponsors. These guys commenting are just haters with nothing better to do. I love knowing where I can order parts for my old square bodies! Keep up the good work and never stop prospering!
the fall guy truck looks sweet but the eagle kills it BIG TIME the eagle looks to futuristic and it dont look like the original eagle good job on the restoration
Heather Thomas from the Fall Guy was at the Providence Civic Center Custom Car show in 1985. She was signing autographs for people and I bought her a rose before the car show and brought it to her. I lost count of the hugs and lip kisses she gave me. Was definitely a high point in my life growing up. She was such a nice person.
Thank you very much for all your content. I love the subject matter and the great personalities. Adds were informative and didn't feel intrusive or awkward.
Hey Hi Power Nation 😊 from here in the D Michigan 😁 hey the motor city 😊 thanks for your time and video of A complete rebuild on the square body Chevy 🎉 great job Gentlemen 👍🤩
so glad i kept future serviceability in mind when i ran my new exhaust. i had to put a new converter in last week and i dropped the trans and transfer along with both shafts and the crossmember as a single unit. made it real fast and mess free. for some reason i hate disturbing exhausts when doing work
You r a wonderful person..from one mechanic to another u do the job on point..I wish I could donate to your cause soo bad but i am basically broke from my job at 63 years old..I had a shop and gave sooo many free or serious discounts to many and I slept at night just like you do I'm sure..keep it up kid..I don't think anyone here is doing what u do.. thats the scary part.
@@JoeAustin-r4p I'm talking about the truck from the fall guy series. The series that was filmed in California. Back in the 80s where nobody would have bought a truck from Alabama when there were plenty in California.
@@craigstark2712 did you even watch the video to understand what I was talking about?? Not the RUclips ads that I don't get, but every corner of the video was a sales pitch of a product... It was never that bad..
I know you are shooting for a fall guy tribute, but I really would have gone with an extended cab. I plan on building a 7.3 vegetable oil pump truck as soon as I get ahead.
Yeah , I gave up on these shows about 5 years ago. I rather go outside and work on my own truck . I basically use you tube videos as reference material now . Works for me and no TV . Win win
Why didnt you guys clean and paint the firewall with everything new it looks rough ,when you had everything off it was a easy job to be a better finish
Yeah, but stunt doubles are supposed to look like the star, and they weren't using the brown and beige. So it wouldn't have been a very good "stunt double"
I put lots of cab corners on never cut your self short always cut it higher I cui them up buy the molding , look at the inside of that corner see the rust, that goes up on the inside. just saying
BEAUTIFUL build! Wish you had used a better-sounding muffler, though. It sounds like it's got glass packs or sometthing. Flowmaster 30 series or Magnaflow would have been a better choice. Other than that, I absolutely love all that you guys did on this beauty.
It seem the bump and rebound in the rear isn’t set to work the way it does in real life. I’ve been seeing that rear bump acts as a ride height adjustment so to speak. The lower the value the lower the rear acts and visa versa
I have a dumb question, but I’m watching the video and get to part where you start to put the new parts on and why not pressure wash or clean everything before you start putting it back together? Did I miss something? Just asking.🤷🏻♂️
I really like this video, it's awesome! However, I've been trying to find a reasonable square body like this as a starting project, I found one about the same quality of this truck (before repair). The Man was asking 22K for the thing, he finally said he would take 20k, now this is for the rough truck to start the project with. I can't find anything under 15k unless it is completely stripped or rusted out and falling apart. I found one dealer that had one for 17k, but it needed TONS of repair still, he admitted it was a project to do, but, it had no rust to amount to much. I just can't find a starting truck for a project. Can someone tell me what is the current General price range for a project truck to start with as of the year 2024? I wanted to have my own project, but it looks like I'm gonna haft to spend 30k on a basic completed truck that's ready to go. Thanks for any advise and for reasonable correct pricing info for the current year of 2024.
That was an entirely different show. "Powernation" isn't the name of the show. There were _multiple_ shows on Powernation, like: Gearz with Stace David, Detroit Muscle, Engine Power, Truck Tech, Extreme Off-road, and this show, "Music City Trucks". So, whatever Stacy David did is completely irrelevant.
These "full-build" videos would be much, much better if they did some editing on them. Watching the show intro and teasers 12 times is very irritating.
Great video. The fact that you put in a new air cleaner filter and didn’t clean the filter housing with obvious direct and dust all over it, reminds me why I do things myself. You can do better, details matter, more than ratings. Perhaps it’s a generational thing, but if you’re going to do it, do it right the first time. Could have got my rating w/o the bare minimum job. ANY dirt in that manifold could cause years of havoc on that motor, sad.

If they think they can do it “better “ they should make a video and show us how it’s done 😂 everyone has their own style.

These shows wouldn't exist without sponsors
@@fpscoco if you own a bunch of square bodies, and you don’t know where to get parts for them, you shouldn’t be owning those trucks then 😆
All I need is Heather Locklear now and I'm set, and some theme music of course!
You mean Heather Thomas :)
Heather Locklear did guest star on one of the episodes, but Heather Thomas played Jody throughout the series.
@@rmproute66 that episode with both Heathers put a hurting on a teenage boy.
They needed to floor it at the end... at least cross a creek... up a hill...
I really like your tip on getting paint out of the can.
Remember Fall Guy Truck had the tool box on the passenger side bed. Show was every kid's go to growing up. Awesome build.
Yeah that little tool compartment is where he kept the prop gun with blanks in it for arresting people
It was on both sides
Love the K10 truck, Fall guy rules! I still watch the shows on video.
Got a love old school, American trucks. Strong and simple.
Had an 1984 same trim and colors! Silverado drove 11 years. Served me well ❤

Badass looking truck... great job guys 💯🤘
you guys should attend the c10 show in Texas September 24th this year man bring that thing it would be sick!

You call that a build ? I turned a C10 into a dodge Dakota build that

Great stuff thank you.
We had a 78 Scottsdale 4 × 4 back in the 80s with a 350
I Love That Truck
Stunning.
If I'm not mistaken there's orange paint underneath it because it was originally a cal-trans work truck.
your mistaken, truck came from Alabama.
@@JoeAustin-r4p I'm talking about the truck from the fall guy series. The series that was filmed in California. Back in the 80s where nobody would have bought a truck from Alabama when there were plenty in California.
The fall guy pick - up was a G. M. C Short wide bed it a dark brown metallic 😊
It's a long bed single cab you can watch a lot of videos on it. I think it was an 8lug though at least the ones they jumped
One. Long. Infomercial. Now I remember why I stopped watching these shows on TV. Just happened to wake up on the sofa and it was on.
No sponsors, no show. It’s the way of the world man, gotta take the bad with the good
That's any video on any channel on RUclips unless you have the paid subscription to avoid the commercials. It's not a Power Nation thing.
@craigstark2712 best 10 bucks u can spend. Haha

THE 80's HOTNESS
1:45 yes remove that sensor expose to elements on 4X4 =shorted life hubs👍🤣
68-72 Chevy is the best Truck,Blazer and suburban.
That tall air filter was something I thought was for a 305
When you going to do the step side from chips? The blue one of John's.
This truck in a shortbox or stepwise and it would be perfect square body
I know you are shooting for a fall guy tribute, but I really would have gone with an extended cab. I plan on building a 7.3 vegetable oil pump truck as soon as I get ahead.
There is no extended cab just crew cab and they have long beds or tow beds
Brilliant video, keep it up.
Not pressure testing the evaporator seems like a problem waiting to happen. It's from 85 and doubtful it will hold up long.
Summit racing… summit racing… we get it! Ok, we know who sponsored the show
Yeah , I gave up on these shows about 5 years ago. I rather go outside and work on my own truck . I basically use you tube videos as reference material now . Works for me and no TV . Win win
Nice truck for a Chevy but why not fix the hole in the bed from the goose neck
NICE!
the best part is that nobody could steal that drivers side valve cover if their lives depended on it lmao
I’m surprised you didn’t take the diff cover off to inspect the gears and bearings
Why didnt you guys clean and paint the firewall with everything new it looks rough ,when you had everything off it was a easy job to be a better finish
Just what I came here to say. Their explanation for why they didn’t do that makes zero sense, given what they did to the entire rest of the truck.
I have an 85 but its a gmc, they never did come with a 350 stock, they had 4.3 5.0, 6.2 and 454. Mine also came with auto locking hubs.
Engine code LS9 (350 cu.) available from '73-86 on all K5/K10/K20. Try again. Argue all you want I have the RPO sticker to prove it.
The motor is supposed to be in the Back right behind the cab !! 😁
more kc's on the roll bar
Sweet.
“Stunt Double” was good too, though.
Yeah, but stunt doubles are supposed to look like the star, and they weren't using the brown and beige. So it wouldn't have been a very good "stunt double"
It is a very nice truck i love it, Why not duel exhaust? It looked a little different with just one tail pipe,, cool build guys great work
Because they dont actually know anything about vehicles.
Mi camioneta Favorita
I'm not a big fan of the plaid but all and all it's a nice truck.
I put lots of cab corners on never cut your self short always cut it higher I cui them up buy the molding , look at the inside of that corner see the rust, that goes up on the inside. just saying
Always like to look at the GMC better Plus they have that double headlight.
exactly why chevy is the best brand
What would you want for the 4x4 off of the 1985 chevy

How many co-hosts can 1 truck build go thru

What does a complete build like this run ? Estimate ? I’ve got my dads 87 square body and want to try doing the same overtime .

Stacey David already did this build. 600 hp on a 1/2 chassis?

@@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi, doing something that "has already been done" "is completely irrelevant," no matter who did it originally.
@@bartgoins1782 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Legit question. Why did yall change the brake rotors at the beginning if you was going to swap the axles anyway?
Either for.mach up purpose or because plans changed mid show I'm guessing.
When did Edelbrock start producing knock off Holley’s? They’re probably as much junk as their flagships.
How long did the truck actually take to rebuild
A little under 3 hours
About 4 months, if I remember correctly. But it really is only 2 people building these. Sometimes they'll get a 3rd person, if they're too far behind.
What would be the use of this kinda truck? Surely it cant be too good to drive on the road with liftkit and those tyres. Cool though.
You didn't open with the cool song by Lee majors bummer
Why do you prefer Wix Oil Filters??
new guys says "that just screams 80's" as if he was alive then. actually it is more of a 90's thing. still a lot of older c-10 on the road in the 80's
These "full-build" videos would be much, much better if they did some editing on them. Watching the show intro and teasers 12 times is very irritating.
I miss stacey david
👍
chulada de troca
1:44:44 Lmao he said "duty"
Anyone have a parts price list they added up?
Bidenomics had all the prices double in these videos. They originally did this in shorter episodes you can see the prices on there
If you go to the website, they have the entire build sheet, but probably not the prices. Prices have probably doubled since this was built.
Love the shoe the only thing that I dislike is the fact that you took out the numbers matching motor which depleted the value of the truck😢
The stripe on the front fenders is wrong. Most guys get it wrong. Look at the factory brochure u'll see how it's supposed to be
Great video. The fact that you put in a new air cleaner filter and didn’t clean the filter housing with obvious direct and dust all over it, reminds me why I do things myself.

Is this Truck For Sale or has it been sold???
Serious Buyer if available.
Y’all are a couple little city slickers I can tell
sale set up before filming
Stunt Double was a better name
Stunt doubles look the same as the actor and since they never planned on making this brown and beige. "Stunt Double" would have been a stupid name.
lowering the center of gravity a foot and a half and 50 50 weight bias had to effect the performance. that truck must handle a hell of a lot better.
Did Mr ballen paint that truck?
I had to like the comment..made me laugh.
