I also told him a Canadian proven trick to fixing the original stuff for other people trying to keep an even lower budget super fast fix, I have done it a lot to my other truck as well as my friends trucks never has failed yet out of about 14 or 15 repairs. please like my comment so he sees.
Yeah It possibly requires some penetration spray and force... Or else could just swap with a new latch or a tailgate even... Although I look forward to where he rips it up and swaps with skeleton like panels
It's too quiet I can't hear it. His neighbors probably like oh Mike got a new truck least this one is quiet... 10 minutes later... sounds like a NASCAR haha
Take the tail gate apart and literally soak all the mechanisms is wd40 and work the lever back and forth and also check to see if the latch system is even hooked up. Easy job I promise
Pop the trim off the tail gate handle. Spray everything in there with PB Blaster and work the rods with a pair of pliers or screwdriver. Takes about 15 mins
I admit I was concerned when I first saw that truck, it looked rough but after seeing the undercarriage... Wow someone took care of that truck for a lot of years.. Probably some old man. That's a great find.
“I’m not gonna ever bleep our swearing on my channel” *bleeps out swearing* “I’m not gonna destroy this blazer” *jumps it and drowns it in a river* “I’m not gonna do a restoration project” *does a restoration project* Lol been watching since the hellcat
These bodys last because they are galvanized, TBI are dogs but last forever. NBS master is a good upgrade for about $100. LMC has a lot of restore parts for decent prices.
I literally only stay up late to catch your videos right when they come out. Keep up the great content! Also your Blazer build and Jeep builds have inspired my 2004 Grand Cherokee build!
Jake 1024 mclaren I believe went back to Florida corado is at Shane diesel shop the grandpa vette he said should be back on the channel dirtymax is a mystery maybe lended it to Bobby for making him leave early from work to help get the new truck back 🤷♂️
Jake 1024 mclaren went back to philly I believe? Had to replace an oil line. VW is as Shane’s diesel performance warehouse. Grandpa should be back shortly. Giving it a month till it’s back
finally, a build i can relate to (somewhat)! turning 16 in less than a month, and my first truck is a 95 silverado extended cab, and that’s right, she’s mean n green. love this build already and i can’t wait to see what’s in store for er!
To fix the tailgate, go to the automotive store and get "Morpar Penetrating Fluid" its great stuff. Remove the plastic latch cover and spray the mopar fluid down both hand rods as well is in the latches that are located on the sides of the tailgate. Then hold tailgate in the closed position, while leaning against the end gate pull the handle as if you are trying to open the end gate and push or release handle. Continue to pull and release handle a few times and the tailgate should start functioning properly again. Please like so he sees.
Perfect timing as i plan to get my third obs next year which will be my first 4x4. Already own a 91 reg. Cab stepside and a 95 ext cab. Keep up the great work Mike!
If u get body work done spray wd40 in all the body panels you can (doors, bedsides, tailgate) on a hot day and just let it soak in. Once the oil is in there moisture won't soak in
This will make an excellent restoration project, I grew up with these trucks, I remember my dad had 2 of those truck, one was a 93 C1500 v6 5 speed, and the other was a 92 K3500 Dually. I've always dreamed of buying one myself to restore, and I especially want one of the 1988-1998 body styles.
It was the oil line to one of the Turbo's and he sent it to McLaren Phillidelphia to have it fixed and I'm guessing it's been done for a while cause he hadn't made videos with it he's probably just storing it there
put the tailpipe back on and In the space in between, where the muffler was, put in a glass pack or a straight piece of pipe. I had a '97 Silverado with the Vortec 5.7/350 & it was straight piped & the cats were emptied out, It ended up very loud & sounded great... Keep the great vids coming bud, I love the OBS GM pickups & suv's and like seeing the old vehicle builds. Nice buy btw, Great Deal!!
Tailgate handle and linkage needs lube, Been awhile since I had that body syle but i know they dry up and stop working.👍,,,now on with the rest of the vid.
Liking the older truck projects. I know you need another build project (not), but you know what would be cool, keeping with the vintage projects you have, would be to build a late style C4 street Corvette canyon racer. '91 to '96 style. That is a really affordable platform to buy, and build. All came stock with formula one suspension, with the flip nose, and are easy to work on. Very light, great power plant. Even better '94 thru '96 with refined Opti. It would be a full circle move too. A lot of us subscribed when you had your early C4 project. Great content as always. Best to the Bulls.
LMC Truck has everything you need for the Dirtymax or the Blazer or the new build. For your Jeep Quadratech is your best bet and they are a Pennsylvania based company if I remember correctly, they also have an annual open house/tent sale/Jeep show.
When you fix the endgate, be sure to use some dry lube on it.....makes all the difference. I used to have a bunch of army surplus spray-on dry lube and it was the nads on endgates.
Mike I was wondering if I could have those wheels and tires off the Jeep once you get your new wheels and tires. I want to retro fit them on my 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee
That OBS truck now sounds like my 95 Yukon. I cut the muffler off of it, due to rust issues and I was worried it would be too loud to drive, but I've been daily driving it for almost 2 years and it's been absolutely amazing!
I can't wait to see this when your done. My first vehicle was a 1990 chevrolet Silverado standard cab short bed with the 5.7 felt fast and was so fun as a first vehicle
Jordan Burchett - My first truck was exactly the same! 4x4 with the 6-lug "wagon wheel" rims. I still miss Bertha. She was a powder blue factory colour. I repainted her in GM Deep Indigo Metallic Pearl. She was a good girl. Had to sell her when I moved to the states.
This is a man with 6 project cars.. two of which aren’t in his possession rn bc ones in Texas and the other is getting the trans swap. Mike honestly is the best
Mike exposed body filler like that is going to be a massive problem especially with all the rain you get. Body filler ABSORBS moisture. So each time it gets wet it is literally just trapping that moisture against the body. The rust is going to need to be cut out and properly repaired for this truck to have any sort of life span.
Mike has like 12 hours a day that can be spent searching marketplace for the great deals while Steve is out there wrenching on cars and dealing with code enforcement and kids.
side steps would make good ramps for the four wheeler. Google or Amazon "Ospho metal treatment" the stuff works awesome on rust and it stops the rust from continuing. Try it, gaurantee you'll like it
Anyone else would rather see the Blazer restored/restomodded, I think it would look amazing if he would get the Blazer's rust issues fixed and properly repainted etc.
Frame and underside of any truck if you want to get it super clean and all the "stuff" off of it, use easy off oven cleaner and a pressure washer. Takes off everything so u can recoat it and not seal rust and stuff in under paint or undercoat. Spray it wait 30 min and rinse. Works killer!!
If you want this to be a proper restomod, you need cut all the rust out. It will make the finished product that much better. You need to keep it with a 90s theme, IMO. 16" American Racing Outlaw II or AR23, 285/75/16 tires (no lift) and maybe a grille update.
Not to mention body filler just exposed like that is just absorbing moisture. He thinks it’ll take a while to rust out but with all the rain in P.A. and it constantly absorbing and holding moisture like that I wouldn’t be too sure.
Авто/Мото
Tailgate is an easy fix just order the internals. I’ve done several. Takes 45 minutes. Like so he sees it.
i got u fam i liked
Liked🙏
Me to fam I also have you my guy
Push the two pins in on both sides so they’ll come out.

Mike has finally realized we like POS old vehicles over mclarens 💯
Frank LL ikr, I love these old truck builds more then the super car stuff
Exactly! Its more relatable.
Not really POS old vehicles but vehicles that most viewers could afford.
It's more profitable for him too
Now don’t get me wrong I love that mclaren of his and the company in general but these budget builds inspired me to do my own
Remember when mike collected license plates for awhile
YEA. It appears he has moved on to collecting old 4x4's now
I think he got so many he didn’t know where to put em lol
@@ImmarSE thats why he started buying more cars, so he has more places to put his license plates now lol
@@rickb3674 You mean "junkers"
Yes now he collects mufflers
These cheap truck builds are awesome Mike. Keep em' coming Buddy!
Right.. Lol idc about these super cars. Never have
TrollMaster300 wow you’re so special and unique 🤗🤗🤗
@@ethanpapa3585 Lol right ?! glad you know
Take off the handle, there’s 2 metal rods one on each side. They’re probably stuck in the open position and not catching on the handle itself.
Might even just need some lubrication.
TW1970 like Steve
Yeah
It possibly requires some penetration spray and force...
Or else could just swap with a new latch or a tailgate even...
Although I look forward to where he rips it up and swaps with skeleton like panels
TW1970 or just buy a new tailgate.

"Going to restore it" -> Cuts off factory replacement muffler and tail pipe. 😂😂

My buddy had an 88 in high school, somewhere around 6” lift, bald 35s and a 420 hp 383, it’s a damn good combo. That truck was a riot
Wow how original
LetsGoToMarsMan nothing original about it. It’s a proven recipe for a great truck
Someone got Mike a sawzall for Christmas and now he's going to saw the mufflers off of everything... even the goddamn lawnmower!

Pop the trim off the tail gate handle. Spray everything in there with PB Blaster and work the rods with a pair of pliers or screwdriver. Takes about 15 mins
Blazer is way better for off-roading cause of the short wheel base
Carlos Danger depends on the type of off-roading
Carlos Danger it’s give and take, depends what off-roading your doing,
Maybe if you're rock crawling...
For rock crawling but the truck would be better for other types of offroading

You should do like a farm truck type of build since the frame is so nice turbo Ls swap it!

Should have bought a square body if you wanted to restore a truck

Curiously, those great big mud flaps on the running boards, may be part of the reason why it has so little corrosion underneath.
