You forgot to wire up the KC's like most people did back in the day! LOL
So true!
I'm sorry, what are those?
Hahahah hahaha that’s so spot on
Its authentic.
Does anyone else miss sidewall on a jacked up truck? Tired of these new low profile 40's on a 30 inch wheel. I'm talking 44"s on a 15 inch rim dammit.
THANK YOU!! I want big tires, not big wheels.
Yes yes yes can't stand these paper thin tires give me a meaty sidewall offroad tore anyday
Ol’ LT is starting to become like Stacey David. Starting to have a habit of saying “now”. Lol
More like 80’s. Those fell out of favor in the early 90’s. I had a gmc s15 Sierra classic 4x4 - bought new.
LT is my new favorite RUclipsr since I found his 8.1 ugly truck. I’m only 23, but I’m old school still rocking a k2500 from the year I was born, 1997. This is the stuff I remember my dad and brothers driving down here in rural NC. I love that the 90s flair is coming back.
Continue this retro theme. Let’s see a lowered square S-10 with a 350 swap!
Don't give the thieves any ideas.
I run 15 inch white spoke rims because they match my boat and rv trailer but more importantly, less popular so don't have to worry too much about tire/wheel thieves.
As far as the "light bar", one of my friends had his stolen at work. This was in the late 70s. He saw two thieves walking down the street carrying it! Luckily he was able to chase them down and retrieve it. This was way before battery powered tools so they had to have used wrenches. I can't imagine how fast it could be removed with power tools today.
Like a lot have said a chrome bed bar is more 80`s and 70`s, I found the 90`s thing to do was the Lund fiberglass cab extender which lights could be bolted to.
Well back in 1980 I had me a 1978 K10 long bed with a 4" lift, 36x14.50x15 Pro Trac Hi-Rollers on 15x10" aluminum wagon wheels and a 3" welded roll bar with 4 6", 2 -250,000 CP & 2- 500,000 CP, KC Daylighters on it. That truck went through just about anything.
I remember being pulled over for not having covers over my old KC lights lol.
Yep, and they would get stolen if you left the covers on. 😕
Same
@@ChessIsJustAGame Thats no joke
Damn that sucks. They never cared down here, as long as you weren't driving with them on.
@@randymagnum6680 Yeah it was haha. The police officer didn't give me a ticket but told me that if it's not stock it shouldn't be on the road 🤣 and yet didn't see the wide Hoosier dirt track tires on. And by the way I had 6 on the front bumper and 4 sun's on top
Needs bullet hole rims and 33-12.50 and leveling kit now
Mans really described my first truck
I had an 87 Chevy long bed. I did the same thing. I used the lights when I plowed snow at night. Loved it. Roll bar though does take up space. Got in the way a few times. Love the video!
I'm 37 and when you said let me take you back to the mid-90s when you were in middle school high school. I thought damn that makes me feel old. Graduated highschool in 01 for reference
Same here, graduated in 01 and definitely remember seeing these types of trucks in the HS parking lot
Mid 00s I was in the 4th grade back then and I finished school in 04 and I’m 35 I remember when this was around a lot
I graduated HS in 1996. I'm 43
I like your idea. It brings back some fond memories of my life in the 80's. Speaking of the 80's, you would have impressed me if you had followed stylings of the Fall Guy's 1980 GMC 2500. That's the truck that set the tone for lifted trucks of the 80's.
I passionately hate the LED light bars everyone is bolting on their trucks now. I love those old-school KC Daylighters. Those were cool!
Tig welding is just really bright soldering.
Thats a 70's, maybe 80's style. It was over by the 90's.
I believe it needs to be jacked up with 38s. Than it will look right... Ish
Nope, could find factory options as well as after market "roll cages" (fake) with light kits in early 90's. I was there.
KC Daylighters are wayyyy more expensive than a lot of reasonable LED light bars. The money saving reason is bunk.
Would have liked this project more if it was an OBS
I love the build! I have a go rhino sport bar on my 2001 ram sport with 4 KC'S on top, and 2 LEDs underneath that face the bed for the night. I love the 80's 90's look. Can't wait to see what else you do with the GMC
What size kc???? I have the go rhino too. I got four 5 inch not sure if that may be too small though
This is going to be an exciting build. If you guys really wanna sell the old look, I really suggest a hood wind deflector, cab visor with clearance lights, bullet hole rims, and maybe some pinstripes of that's possible. I like the bed rails, but I don't know what time period they come from.
You should show the steering column plastic bearing piece replacement. Thats where the klunking noise comes from too
I'm going to do this to my chevy P30 motorhome 😂
Are you the guy from youtube who 8.1 swapped his Silverado?
Yes that's him.
Marty Mcfly approves the kc rollbar
In the start video the red Ford pick up looks just like mine. It's a 75 F100 .Bought it in 1980 for 3900. Lost it in a divorce and bought it back 5 years later. It sat in a pasture the whole time. I still have it would love to restore it but getting too old to do it. Interior still looks like new body has surface rust. The engine is a 390 and needs rebuilding. 3 on the column and 411 rear end with dana lock.
Not a single comment about the fact he said "The yellow covers are intended to make them legal? How does that make them legal? I never heard that before. Straight from the mouth of KC says "KC light covers not only protect your fog and driving lights from harsh conditions but also adds a rugged off road appearance with Iconic KC Logos". That's it....
Yes the big roll bars in the bad are old school, but they can be made to be functional as well.
Ive seen then be used to act as tire carriers because the spare couldbt be mounted underneath the frame/bed anymore due to mods.
You can also put on locking cases for gear and tool without further modding your bed.
I just found a roll bar on Marketplace and put it in my 96 S-10 4wd. I love it.
I like seeing trucks with the old school style but with new modern tech incorporated into it like leds

Can you guys build a 1999 k2500 silverado 4x4 crew cab please 🙏 vortex
Back to the Future 😊
If you're gonna put in a roll bar, you might as well make it functional. And it might as well just be a headache rack
I love this project
So far, you are backdating to about 1980. You need pastel paint - monochrome - and "Boyd"-type directional billet wheels. And don't forget the burlap interior trim, along with EVERYTHING polished billet aluminum under the hood and across the dash.
90s, lol. had this in the early 80s
I got this truck same color but it’s a 2000 Silverado with a 5.3 and 338,000 miles
Love the roll bars and KC’s have same setup on my 2010 Chevrolet Silverado regular cab short bed
Chuck Norris Approved!
how will you trick the computer without a catalytic converter
What about check engine lights from the exhaust?
What about the O2 sensors and no cats? Engine light will be on?
A chrome roll bar is perfect for a 80s/90s style build
64👍's up truck tech thanks again for taking us all along with you for the great show
LT with the jorts
Y'all should plug LT's youtube channel in the episodes so he can grow.
I got a bone stock '98 Ranger that I really need to do something with.
What are the chances of the MIL coming on after putting the headers on? I would love to do this to my 06 Sierra with the 4.8 but I really don't want to have to find a tuner that can work the ECM.
Hell Yes! Great build!
Aren't you supposed to purge the atmosphere out of the inside of the tubes before you weld stainless steel like a gas tank and regulator and some tape
Those kc's cost more than a decent light bar nowadays.
no co host? Where is austin? LT is all grown up !
That was my question
Much better without “ragin cajun” 👍
OK
So where did Austin go.
I'm confused
Should back purge that stainless. Nice fab job though.
Was expecting the truck to go flying when he used that impact
I'm gonna miss LT...
The matco impact you are using has a problem with the trigger in a normal shop use the trigger will malfunction and not work because of the vibration of the tool hammering things off and hammering things on takes 90 days to get it back from matco to ol after they fix it
Had mine fixed in a week...
Build the FALL GUY truck....yeah I’m old
I cant find these anywhere want one for my lifted 97 f150
Do an xj build I need more
Never show weather you used the other 2 02 sensors...did the check engine light come on?
This guy clearly doesn't know decades or what a 33 12.50 is lol
Is this the same truck from TRUCKS! ?
Do you guys ever do anything with fords... GM and more GM.... or do you know a channel that actually modified them?
80's ... Millennials can't guess a decade.
Flowmaster Super 10
bravo for emission .brand new check engine light on!! no cats, probably bigger tires next so need a programmer for speedo and new exaust headers, adding more weights on the truck so how about fuel trims and gear ratios and mpg gone!
I bet you’re fun at parties
Negative Nancy! 🤣
Project pretty truck 😉
Can't get to Cameron give away site...
So no check engine light from the missing cats?
Turbo it please! 🌪
What’s the difference between a manifold and a header
Gee. Wish my 350 5.7 had all the power this guy says the 5.3 has.
You used the vise grips backwards.
Austin on vacation or .....?
Ok do what about the cats? You took out the y pipe and never addressed the cats and the O2 sensors
SS2 rear mount 70/65 decaps and pac1218's??? 😉
Should have made a structural rollbar yourself and had it plated I'm a little disappointed after all you do have the budget
I can show you a truck that has that stuff on it in 1978
I wish he was my exhaust guy
Please returns jorts to 1993
Where is your mullet LT?
I mean I prefer using pvc pipe but that’s just me
Imma go on record and say i hate these trucks, fun to drive, but the one ive had wasn't reliable at all and they are such a pain to work on, so little space
4th from Texas
what a waste of money and time that would be.
Where are the catalytic converters?
Needs cheap boost! Lol
That set up and the truck are decades apart. The truck being newer than the adds being a very bad thing in my opinion. But I was born in ‘91 when those KC lights were already going out of style. Should’ve at least use and older truck. It definitely made the 02 feel several years older.
What happened to austin
You didn't weld anything really. Stainless needs to be back purged to atcually penetrate.
where was your co host
I’m finally early.
How old are these videos? It feels like repeats from the early 2000s.
All of the powernation videos from the past 20 years are getting reuploaded to RUclips in drip fed fashion.
@@1leggeddog I won't watch them because I don't want to watch to latest in automotive mods. Even with old vehicles technological advances in aftermarket have gotten better. These videos seem pointless, but hey, if you like them then you like them.
😂
To much advertising 😔
How are they supposed to make money otherwise?
😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
On today’s episode... Let’s make a horrible GM product even worse. 🤣
A single cab would have been ideal in my opinion
The new trends are so unrealistic in use.
