FULL BUILD: OBS Chevy K1500 4WD Converted to AWD, Slammed, and LS Swapped!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2020
- The start to finish transformation of a stock ’88 K1500 Sierra into a lowered LS-powered all-wheel-drive beast. Truck Tech takes their K1500 4WD and slam it with a 4”-6” lowering kit. LT hoists the tired 350 from the engine compartment for a budget-conscious 5.3L LS.

As a teenager, shows like this improved my confidence in taking on projects and challenges with my own vehicles. With time, knowledge improved and really cemented my skills for life. -Thank you POWERNATION!
Powernation thank you for uploading the full builds.
Takuaches looking at this like “it can go lower”😂
Right😂😂
Jonathan Palencia kk
Hell yeah lmao this video caught my eye in a fat second
Imma put a 4/8 drop on mine 😂
It ain't low enough cuh
Not everyone lives in rural areas and want to play in the mud all of the time and I've always wondered why people don't do this. This is a great daily driver in urban or suburban environments. Now, I wouldn't be rally racing it.
Loved watching the Red tide series . Been laid up on the couch for a few days and this helps pass the time.
I love how much the one dues accent fades in and out
I like that they showed the failure; it happens to all of us.
You mean all the Chevy's 🤠
@@jimgould2829 😐bruh u a ford fan or a ram fan?
@@bobthealpha67 Ford that's what's up
@@jimgould2829 ford 5.0 nasty cause of that 10 speed but it’s ugly front end and ugly interior for the price should be way better looking
Ive had ford and chevy and ford gave me so many problems. I kept it less than a year and got rid of it fast. My chevy lasted years.
Keep uploading the full builds! These are awesome!!
AGREED

Staring at that massive unpainted spot behind cab 😂😂😂
Lmao. Wowww
Hell my custom truck from a conversion factory even has that.
@@T0tenkampf queen looks

LT needs to go into business making those right hand diff mounts. He'd make a killing.
لصلر
I would buy one as well
The smart thing to do is NOT swap the diff... use the 4wd lock-in, and if you are making so much power to the front that you start blowing up shaft couplers then get a custom solid passenger side output shaft for the original diff housing.... could easily be that the passenger side shaft from the SS diff drops right in, I'd bet a case of beer that it does.
@@Zaphod7835 They needed to get some heavy duty halfshafts instead of running those old stock ones which gosh knows how many miles.
@@Zaphod7835 i just thought about that as i watched this again. That passenger side axle shaft can be just bolted up the passenger side and bolt rite into the chassis without needing to fab up a mount and still use the new diff?
bro who has came back to this just to reminisce LT on TV but glad he went to RUclips
Yea love his channel. The ugly truck is badass
I don't have a truck, but I'm 78 years old and b4 I leave this world would love to meet you guys. I live in West Melbourne Florida.
God bless
This is one of those builds that when it was first revealed so many didn't know what to think, and in the end this is one of those pieces that is absolutely amazing.
They give these guys full reign on what they want and I really appreciate it. Keep doing these guys
It looks so good at the beginning with its wheels and tires
And it looks even better with the new ones
@@fcku4798 no it looks bad slamming a 4x4 2 wheel drives are supposed to be slammed
I miss the old hosts (OG hosts).Stacy was the best Trucks! host!!! He built works of art!
There's a reason he's gone. He was annoying as hell! Richard Simmons with a toolbox!
@@davidblalock9945 cmon stacey was th best,only his girly name was off.
This whole episode had more seat time then all of stacy’s episode put together in his whole career
@@holeshot1721 I agree. you never saw Stacy driving anything. Just patching rust and a bunch of boring shit. I liked the Trucks series but it was just marketing fluff. I watched it on TIVO and it was about 5 min of content in a 30 min episode. Marketing kills everything.
@@ryanmalin Stacy was tons better at this as most would attest. Unless you are a soy boy of course
Thanks for the full download, I’m a huge fan of AWD trucks and SUVs. My AWD TBSS was a blast! This is definitely a build I’d like to try in the future!
LAWRENCE lt tolman youtube..
Just bought a 94 with 54k original Miles in garage kept condition. So hype.
This guy makes the best person to explain this.

this was actually an inspiration!!! My dad has 2 fake hips and has a really hard time getting in and out of his vehicles... I think this something that could make his life soooo much better!!! Thanks guys
I absolutely LOVE this. I wouldve made a few styling changes for look, but the concept is one of the freshest, unique, and just cool vehicles ive seen in quite some time.
LT is Awesome to watch build projects! Smart ,Honest, AND , Very Capable!!!
This makes me really miss my K1500 based Suburban. My suburban was decked out with all the power options, push button, 4 wheel drive, dual gas tanks, a massive power converter system to drive 2ea 12" LCD screens in the back of the driver/pass headrest, a Sony DVD,VCR, Playstation 2, a 15" LCD hanging from the roof for row three to watch DVD/Blu-ray or play a 1st generation Nintendo. The back had a 3cup coffee maker, small microwave, small apt refrigerator, a Panasonic scanner/printer for my laptop in the sudo tailgate office with fold out table and camp chair. Mine was also lowered but only about 3 inch because I had 22 inch wheels. It had full running boards, factory roof rack, spare tire mounted on rear pass door. It had rear ended a simi truck and the entire front clip was swapped with one from and Escalade.
I’m a Ford guy since I was a hid, but this build I love and it make me want to look into finding a F150 92-96 4x4 and see about doing a similar build like you performed on this Chevy Short box 4x4. I love the show and the ideas and tips are endless. Thanks Power Nation
"And it's a perfect fit for out truck" starts drilling holes into it.
Exactly
Great job
He said it’s almost a perfect fit!
@@jfply8 no

I'm not big into trucks but man I could watch these videos all day.
I'm a sucker for an obs. First truck my father and I did a complete nut & bolt rebuild on. Swear i can fix anything on it blindfolded in the dark if i had to. Hands down one of my favorite builds ever and i'm counting all the way back to TNN, Spike & Stacy David days.
Whew, it was refreshing seeing those gorgeous welds after all the tack welded mess everyone else seem to be so good at
16:16 This guy is seriously strong! He lifted that offroad tire and placed it on the rear of that truck like it was a wooden bar stool, at OVERHEAD HEIGHT WHILE BALANCING ON A TINY BENCH!
My back felt that lift! I would have been out of commission for a week++
Love this series. Something I always wanted to do but could not find to do for an AWD set up. Now definitely going to have to get started :)
Thank you so much - 8-12 min videos only show you really before and after not all the crap ya gotta go through. Putting my 1992 SWB in the weeds too AND ITS A V6 as well
Where my Takuaches at? 🤘🤘
Si quema o no CUHHH
Quibo cuhhh
Puro 956 alv cuh
Akii toii keh
Saca ese pinche jale de aki lol ke awite yall look dumb as hell
I love these full videos. Keep them up. I will keep watching and liking. 😎
My first truck was Syclone #879 back in 1997. Bought it from the original owner. Biggest regret was selling it 20 years ago. I did track it down and found out it took a trip from NJ down to the Virgin Islands. Asked the owner to contact me if he ever decides to sell it
I'm impressed. This dude knows what he's doin!
By the end of this series I've come to like and respect the build. It turned out to be a solid idea and execution. Good job. Thanks for many "out-side the box" ideas.
Thanks for uploading full builds Sir. I am really learning something because of you. Salute! More power. I'll keep watching your vids.
Just bought an ‘05 4WD Regular cab with rear locker option for $500.
It’s the perfect mule to do this conversion. And I am currently awaiting the arrival of the NV149 T-case.
only just started watching this project and I love it. You picked-up that pickup at a Car Lot East of Nashville (TN).
even owned a 1994 Suburban K1500
I drove that stretch of asphalt several times a day for over 20 years...
Thanks for the memories !!
I'd love to see an AWD manual version of this! My buddy has one that's a factory 5spd & we were talking about this very truck.
Manual NV3500 that GM and dodge used in there trucks was not built for power. They were only rated to handle 300 hp barely. They also can't handle abuse either. Though the chevy T56 is a better trans for this situation or go with a older 4 speed Muncie prior to 88. Other option would be a ford with chevy conversion. Good luck.....
Be nice to do it with an nv4500. I swapped one into my Single cab short bed half ton. Thing can take a beating
@@Texican1988 Thats what I have, mine came with a 4 speed with a granny gear.
They hired Mac from It's Always Sunny?
Finding that body style that immaculate in my area would blow my whole budget four fold.
wow around me there about 1000-3000 for the k1500 and less for the c1500
This is awesome stuff,tons of amazing ideas I'm eating this up!Good Job Great Ideas Wow!!!
I had a '93 work trim long bed V6, loved the POS, 300,000 miles and hardly an issue.
Amazing show, well done. Nice build, great editing.
God this truck sounds so good during the rally course. I need to get long tubes for my 5.3 Envoy
I got em for my 5.3 Sierra and it’s definitely worth
I laughed my butt off when he said he wants to make the truck relatable to a high school kids truck
Yeah, "high school kid" aka DADDY'S MONEY
Came to say the same thing.
thanks for uploading full episodes, love binging these episodes.
My first truck that i have and am working on fixing it up! Its a awesome 1993 GMC Yukon! Sick truck! Love it! Awesome video!👍
I really just watched that whole video 😂, good content though
The auto locking front diff is similar to my old Toyota Surf, deleted that vacuum operated Auto diff disconect, (ADD) by removing the actuator and sliding the dog across so it was locked full time and putting a hose clamp on the shaft so it couldn't slide back unlocking the diff,, then simply taking off the outer hub cap and installing free wheeling hubs,,,,, you have to do this mod to fit any sort diff locker,, in my case i installed a Auto locker,,, from Lokka(that is the companys name. LOKKA) here in Australia,, totally transformed the 4wd into a beast, no tracks it couldn't drive thx for the vids mate .. great content
Hilux/Surf >>>> everything else.
I did that on my 20's but I swapped the 350 for a Mexican 400ss engine.
TransGo the transmission.
Upgraded the servo piston for a corvette piston.
And had it rolling on 245/50r15 bfgoodrich radial T/A
Fire on the hands.
Plates from JALISCO MEXICO.
LT's face and voice are a perfect match.
This is my kind of truck build!
Bob Seger reference, nice touch 👍🏽🤣😂
I cant believe i just watch this whole vid even tho im not a truck guy, i have to say i enjoyed and learned few things here and there. Nice Chevy transformation into 4WD 👌🏼👏👏👏😊
Great video man, loving the no fluff approach
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL 🔥🔥🔥🏁
I will never understand lowering, but LS swaps 👌
center of gravity, weight balance, body roll?
Better handling isn’t a nice thing?
Can't believe I watched this whole video. Thanks to a cold and rainy day. Luv the show!!👍
LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And love watching it all at once instead of waiting for every saturday Morning!!!!
Love the lowered 4x4, good looking wheels also
can this lowering be done on a3/4 ton 2012 chevy ?
Now that's cool and I love it being a four-wheel drive and red and low
Glad to have you Austin. Good ole NOLA man makes it even better.
I know this is an old video but I’m sure people are still watching it. I have to say I love the fact that they have a guy from cutoff Louisiana as a host. I’m from an equally small town called Pierre part Louisiana that’s a tad bit north of cutoff but is definitely still very much south. Even though I’m very familiar with the accent it’s still odd to hear it on television especially on a high tech show like this but I love it! Keep up the good work guys. I really love the show!!
This is one of my favorite builds. I wish I had bought it when you guys had it for sale. I would love to do something similar.
How much did it sell for?
@@joetaylor7442 surprisingly cheap. I would have to go find the ad but I think it was like $15 K
@Eviscerate It was actually $30k.
Love this project and all the upgrades you did! I love 80s cars and trucks. Great job JT
I bought one bran dnew that exact color with a 305 V8 back in '88. Loved that truck! I can't believe how clean that one is...
i grew up right next to cut off LA. no one from there sounds like this guy. His accent isn't even close.
2hr long video, hell yeah!!!
I like how they blurred out the tailpipe like it was private parts! lol.
Lol 😂
Love everything about this truck! If I were 20yrs younger I'd try to duplicate this build.
Dam! Thats my first truck. I had a 88 Chev Silverado 4x4, looks just like that. Oh the memories 👍
sweet. this build is cool, one day ill emulate it.
6:05 "not gonna give away the final looks for this truck" *looks at thumbnail*
Bada$$ truck! I've always rolled the idea of a lowered 4x4 around in my head...only one problem...I'd have to find 2 cause that thing was PERFECT the way you guys bought it.
Good looking. I wouldn’t say slammed at all but nice stance.
Awesome build but I have to ask was a can of black spray paint for the motor mounts not in the budget?
I was thinking the same thing!
😆
What a great build you guys really do good work
I swear that new guy, Austin, looks like "Mac" from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"!
Love this build! As both an Audi Quattro owner and a 4th gen SS owner this is VERY interesting! Great job! Disappointing ending though, would rather have seen it carving up some twisty paved roads...
P.S. I’m assuming you can do this to a Tahoe as well?
They are all the same platform. Get a k1500 blazer and make a full size typhoon.
Just get a 2001 and up Z71 Tahoe with 4.10's..it already has 5.3, and 2h, 4h, 4lo with also AWD transfer case stock, plus better everything else.
Great work on the truck. 👍 I like it. 👌 Though I personally prefer the classic front look of the original 88' K1500, including it's quad rectangular lights.
This makes way more sense than lifting a 2wd.
So interesting. Loved seeing this. Great ideas and doing the change was great too.
LT always looks like he’s holding in a fart
I can't unsee that
whistlindiesel should test how good is this build
The cowboy hat bit was actually pretty good 👌
Really like this build of the K1500 4x4 to Awd.
Close your eyes every time that new guy Austin come up, you'll be hearing Ron Swanson
If Stacy did this episode, we would check back in approximately 16 years to see the end result...
That guy let his mullet cook his brain, he's a hardcore right-wing prepper nut now.
Stacy is the man.. He can do no wrong.
🤣🤣😂😂
Right
@@squidgyquijabo2422 If you think being a hardcore right-wing prepper in times like these is a bad thing,your brain is cooked.
My first car was a 95 silverado. And wish still had it. Thing was timeless.
I've already restored a 1989 2500, 1994 1500 and now I'm working on restoring a 1977 Siverado. They all sit in my Garage.
Best Intertain Show, Awesome ✓ ...... Cheerio.🌠👍👍👍🌠🌠🌟🌠🌠.
I've been seeing a truck just like this one. Right down to the wheels in my small town here in Ga. I know this show is based in Tenn. I've wondered if it got sold to someone here in Ga?
First vehicle I learned how to drive. Dad had an 88 Silverado/92 GMC Sierra hybrid. Had it for years. I later bought a 94 Sierra. Sold that to dad when his motor quit. Half a million kms and the oil pump quit. Love to find a nice one again. Make a nice lowered sport truck.
What !!! you guys are here now !!!! thats great . I knew the red chevy was gonna be in great hands !!!
I’m stuck tryna wire up my Holley terminator to my 98 Chevy ls swap 😭😭
Did you get it to work out ?
I watch this build and even though it turned out pretty cool it hurt to watch them take this classic 4x4 and make it into a street truck when they could have done the same thing with a two-wheel drive version
Nice AWD Built.
I would love to work in a garage like that.
