I miss back when we could just compliment peoples builds without shitting all over other peoples. Just enjoy what you enjoy and stop shitting all over everyone else
@@chriswaynegerlach I know right! How often do you see a truck with 0 cargo? 99% of the time. How often do you see a tahoe/suburban with 9 people inside? Rarely. "Uh but aren't they meant to be functional??" Jeeps never see dirt either lmao so calm down Max and MGM :)
I actually owned an 87 one of these in black in highschool in the 90s. Manual trans with glass packs. Looked just like this one. Changed out the gas tank, did speakers ,added a CD player tint. Lots of misc stuff. This brought back memories. Love what you guys did with this. Interior is awesome. This thing should be preserved in a museum. All of them up north rusted out long ago. Somebody really loves this truck to be sinking this much work into it. I enjoyed mine but comparing it to the AT4 I have now it was like a model T with 33s if we’re going to be honest. Lol. In 35 years it’s amazing what has changed. Granted the price of that old 87 wouldn’t cover the tax on a new one but I traveled many states in it. Wouldn’t call it comfortable by todays standards but was alright. God how time flies.
This one definitely has some sentimental value to the owner! We plan on doing a build update and showing it ripping off road once we get some time freed up from our other projects!
Just want to say, I absolutely love that you put smaller rims and bigger tires on that. Old trucks don’t look good with these new big rims. Love that you kept it classic
Really enjoy everything you guys do, your attention to detail and cleanliness are top notch. Thanks for letting us in on the little things at the end of making something driveable. That last 15% usually takes up the most time. Kudos to the videographer as well!
Thank you so much! It always feels like that last stretch of work always takes the longest too! (Probably because we know it's so close to hitting the road)
I got my 1982 K5 when I turned 30..well in to raising kids and trying to make enough to get by..we barley did most of the time but we never begged or got assistance to pay bills ect. Seeing this trucks makeover brings me to tears and makes me wonder if it was worth keeping it from someone with money to be able to treat it rite..im happy I never gave e it away..it still has a long way to go. I will probably run out of time before the K5. I loved your vid..thanks
Look into the crossover steering modification for these square bodies. It will really help with the steering being all over the place. Truck looks great!
Awesome video! Might be too late for the head unit but! For my square body I really wanted a big touch screen but there's really no good place to put it without going completely custom like the EV truck. Untill I came across this Joying 11.6" single Din head unit. The reason I like it is beause you can buy an extention cable and remotely mount the screen, then tuck the rest of the unit in the dash. I was planning on putting the screen over the center vent. The part number is JY-UQS11N4G, joying isn't quite as good as a Kenwood or pioneer but shoulders above most of the overseas brands.
Thanks for the heads up!! There are also a few single din set ups that have a fold out screens as well. We were just trying to keep the interior super simple!
Great video guys! I love to see these, there just down right awesome. You guys knock it out of the park on making great content for us out here. What I love is the fact you are keeping the build, the passion and the dream alive out here! God Bless You Guys and rOCK ON!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!
To protect an extra fuel filter under the chassis of my sleeper Volvo (5 cyl Turbo)..i used a triangular stainless steel pasta 'drainer' i found at a pro kitchen appliance store..when I saw it , I knew it had the perfect triangle shape & size I was looking for to fit perfectly in that spot..if you go to these stores ,many stainless kitchen & cooking ustensiles could be used when doing a vehicle build..!!..love how you guys find ideas to fix & create better parts..greets from France..
I'm about to order the same color kit with white stitch in my 81 trucks going into paint in a couple weeks. It's getting sprayed white nice and sanitary. Has a fresh turbocharged 454 22×12's on 33's and is for sale after its dyno'd and I get a couple thousand miles on it.
The truck is turning out so badass. And what better truck to customize than a square body! Loving this build guys and that interior is awesome, a lot more modern feel I'm sure. Also can't wait to see what's in store for the van, anything you guys touch turns out amazing so I can only imagine at this point. Van Life lol. Keep up the awesome work and I'm already looking forward to the next S2S video!
There is so many possibilities with a van lol. Would be cool to see alot of power, do a upgraded V8, trans, and rear end swap if you keep it 2wd. Maybe a chopped top? Big sound system? Chill pad in the back for shows? Make a slam van out of it lol. I know you guys have a few lowered builds already, but there's also the option of an off-road build, give it a lift and 4x4 conversion, with some big tires. Either way it's gotta have a LS swap lol. I know whatever you guys come up with is gonna be awesome.
Awesome build, great editing and production, overall quality video. My dad had one when I was a kid and it just so happens to be the year I was born. I remember we lived in the country and he would set me on his lap and control the peddles while I steered (prob thought I was steering lol) the wheel. That being said, this has now become a dream truck of mine that I will now look into and own one day. Pops is since passed when I was 21 so this would be a great way to cherish his memory. RIP Dad🙏
That's an awesome memory! You should check out the new gold K10 build we're doing. The owner of the truck has a very similar story, which is why he sent it over to use to work on. I think you'd like that series!
Nice interior, on the axles I wouldn't have spent a dime on halftime axles myself I just did a 14 Volt and a 44 in mine or you could go 14-volt 60 or whatever in the back and just swap the outers on the front
@@SalvagetoSavage my thoughts are keep it original on the outside (keep the jelly bean style wheels etc.) but give the inside similar treatment to the square body. In the rear I think you should go with a minimalistic living quarters, nothing to fancy, just somewhere you wouldn't mind crashing out for a night or two. and give her some modern LS power for reliability. Option B would be 4x4 LS conversion with a nice lift kit.....that thing would look crazy cool. Nudge bar on the front, mount a heap of lights on that and the roof......man, so much you could do with this, and with the skills your shop has, the options are limitless. Its definitely a cool van! looking forward to this build! Another subscriber from across the pond in Australia.
We like the classic look! That's why we went with that TMI interior. They have this way of making these modern seats and trim that still feels like the era of the truck
i have a bunch of rust free square bodies but i got one that is a 79 cheyenne short box 4x4 full option truck with a 400/400 turbo only 35,000 miles on it 100% stock got it for free same with all the parts trucks i have all are in the 70's
Awesome video guy's. The K10 customer is dropping some serious coin but the truck is looking fantastic. That upside down steering wheel has got to be updated ASAP. LOL!!!! Keep up the great work!
I priced out that version of the seats with TMI and they want $3600 and it doesn’t even include the bracket! But the truck looks insane with the work you guys did.
on my K30 I covered the radio with a radio delete panel and just used a NVX bluetooth controller knob to stream music. trying to get away from headhunts
That is the one thing I will never forgive GM for. They made that instrument cluster to have a tachometer next to the speedometer, but some corporate jackwad decided they could save a crap ton by making it the fuel gauge. Probably also made the government happy as it reminded people to drive conservatively and save gas.
But you get all the stories from working on it yourself! Everyone at the shop has a personal project they've been dragging out forever. Don't worry though, It will get there!
I almost pulled the trigger on a TMI interior when I did my c10. At the time they were brand new and not much was known so I stayed safe and customized the stock seat and panels. But man now they have been out several years they are looking good 👍
@@SalvagetoSavage I gotta say it so you did the Tesla swapped slammed square body now the ls swapped lifted square body next we need a Tesla swapped lifted on bloggers square body maybe 4door dually ooh or a short bed 2 door dually ooooohhhh🤤just sayin bro love the content Silverado cyber truck or a lifted dilorean
Seeing all those old trucks and cars being saved and reused makes me smile.
Saved is a strong, strong word to use with restomods....
Steering wheel upside down would drive me crazy
Such an easy fix also I don’t know who so many people don’t fix it
I would think an updated steering wheel would be in order
I got used to it and then straightened it out when I swapped out the steering shaft
I always liked the steering wheels from the 88-92 GMs. Miss my 89 1500.
Thought the same thing. It's the small details that matter most.
Beautiful interior.
Love how you actually got tires on the truck, not those stupid looking rubber bands on 26" wheels or something.
This truck's meant to go off roading!
same, he kept a truck functional as a truck. not some pavement princess

It’s sweet but I honestly think those old springboard bench seats are the most comfortable seats around
For short rides probably. My old worn out 72 f250 bench was my favorite to-date. Still going full modern out of a junk yard when i cam find one.
Well you're wrong lol
No lol, my bench gets uncomfortable very easy in my C10
@@sullythepankake9663 idk about the old Chevy bench seats but my brick nose ford is like sitting on a frikin cloud
Yeah I agree. Even mine with a horse blanket on it as a cover lol is way more comfortable to me than anything else
Just want to say, I absolutely love that you put smaller rims and bigger tires on that. Old trucks don’t look good with these new big rims. Love that you kept it classic
This is actually the truck I have always wanted. Love to see it!
It's so cool that you guys manage to cram so much into a video that's only 16 minutes & 37 seconds long, yet none of it's boring!
We try our best! Thanks for all your support!

We have a 1983 Square Body K10. It needs restored. It sat for 11 years. I want to do this same exact thing to it. I’m in love with this truck.
Great choice on those interior upgrades! This Square Body is looking fresh!
We're loving this leather!

there aint nothing basic about this LS swap! Andrew is a Stud!
Love this truck, ive been wanting a locker forever so embarrassing doing 1 tire fire burnouts
these trucks are so beautiful. nice work saving this one and keeping it true to its roots
Glad you like it!!
I love these older model chevys my dad had an 88 and 86 over the years and i remember my dad taking me to school in it sometimes. Uncle had a k10.
Love these trucks. So simple to work on. Glad to see people still building them.
We got a whole new k10 project we just launched! You should check that one out too!
Love the quick Public Enemy reference during the speaker explanation.
This. This is what my dream truck is to a freaking T I’ve had it in my head for years
5 seconds into the video and I already know it's gonna be good.
Truck looks & sounds fantastic!! (Don’t forget to flip the steering wheel 180) 😉
Hopefully it gets replaced
The steering looks very loose, I upgraded my 91 keep to a one ton heim joint Parallel bar steering. Tightened it up nice
The truck sounds amazing and that interior is lit🔥
It came together so well! The only thing left to do is rip it off road!
Awesome truck, he's going to wish he replaced the rear drum brakes with disk brakes.
Look into the crossover steering modification for these square bodies. It will really help with the steering being all over the place. Truck looks great!

When it comes to GM square bodies, I've always preferred the smaller S10. But, man, this full-size is just a beautiful specimen.

@@SalvagetoSavage do it!!! I agree with that level of ignorance lol
The OBS steering wheels bolt right in and will add to the more modern look without going to some cheap looking aftermarket.
can i call dibs on the old door panels lol awesome work guys
Thank you! And I think those panels have already been scavenged
Beautiful engine setup and everything to be putting hose water in...
Paint the van in some fancy colors, assemble a team (somebody has to play the dog 🐶) and then it's off to solving some misteries! 😂😁😇
Kyle and Khalel are definitely the Shaggy/Scooby combo! lol
That steering play while driving straight!! Lifted life....haha!
It’s not done correctly. Shouldn’t be that much play in the steering.
Yo!! Been watching you guys since the beginning of the Tesla C10! Wednesdays are always looked forward to over here!
Love to hear that! Thank you for all the support!

on my K30 I covered the radio with a radio delete panel and just used a NVX bluetooth controller knob to stream music. trying to get away from headhunts
The bluetooth modules are cool, but the customer was looking for a full radio head unit for this one!
I put a Vortec 6 L in my 79 square body. Good choice all around.
How much does it cost to do all of those upgrades? I love the truck looks so sick!!
Love that truck!!! I daily the fire out of that! Even if I had to get a second joy to afford gas lol.
The interior looks really nice but holy crap thats expensive. $6000-7000 for a 4 piece kit!
You can go cheaper, but you'll end up with interiors that deteriorate a lot faster. We've found the TMI stuff holds up extremely well
I miss my 68 GMC truck so damn much. Would of loooooooved to LS swap that red beauty. Time machine needed 😞
Freakin Awesome!!
