I would love to see how much paintless dent repair you could do on the current body panels and give it a good polish.
That’s the absolute plan
I like the idea of reviving the stock parts on this. Something special about driving things how they were built.
Thank you for making a Smokey video! Smokey is how I found the channel and the reason I'm a subscriber!!!
That is one cool truck. Love the Forest service green. Would be cool to see it have true dual exhaust with some glass packs.
FINALLY!! I frickin love this truck!!
I've tried to talk him out of it since day 1
These were great trucks; especially with 1 ton axles, 205 case and thr EFI 350. Super easy to work on and diagnose. I love my 87 GMC v3500
I’d like to have one with a short bed conversion and maybe a 4” lift with 35’s and rally wheels.
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this!!
Your plans and parts are perfect for that truck!
YESSSSS!!! I've been waiting forever it seems! So amped!
I’m pumped to see your vision come to life! Such a great looking truck.
I love this truck! Excited to see it more
Love that truck!
I think this is going to be my favorite of your trucks! So damn cool!
Love it; the patina, the whiskey dents...well worth putting some effort into!
Good to see Smokey back & the CUCV bumpers, brush guard & tow hooks are really gonna compliment the look! Can't wait!
Any chance of a 2nd run of Smokey tees?
Thanks, Doug! And most definitely
Oh hell yeah, Smokey is BACK! Can't wait to see this beauty get built back up. Excellent choice on the bumper selection, really like those aswell. This and UBTK5 are my favs.
Yes sir, Mr. Robbie!! This sweet mama-jama is what brought me to your channel.
What a beautiful truck! So beefy and classic.
Love the igloo console
Keep it stock so awesome looking.
😮 sweet
Love Smokey. Y’all going down to Texas square bodies was I believe the first video I saw from y’all. Been a. Huge fan ever since.
Hey Robbie, if you are still looking for tailgate marker lights you can still buy them brand new. Truck-Lite 15408 and 15200R are the part numbers. I bought mine on Amazon. I'm a big fan of your channel, I love the quality of your videos.
Love the fact you guys are giving love to the 4x4 squares. I really want you to see my 1990 1ton swapped Suburban man it’s a awesome rig
I love the 4x4 crew cab 🤤🤤
Pretty crazy how I been watching your show for a few months and maybe last week I started to get my pops c35 Dually back on the road and here you are a week later posting a video about reviving a 30 too
Glad to see this back. I have a 1991 V3500 SRW crew that was an Air Force/DCNR truck with the 4L80E. I have a 6.0 LS for it and looking forward to see what you do with this. BTW I put a big front bumper on it from a brush truck.
I bet theres a loose bracket or something. Check your torque converter dust cover bolts an brackets . Aluminum ones strip out on the support bracket bolts . Love that truck. Ive got a all original 79 srw crew k30 as well . Later man
That's awesome!! Maybe body mounts?
Man i love smokey! I named my truck after her. It has been a while
Dude that thing is beautiful! If it were mine i would put a 454 with a nice cam. Love that color!!!
Lets go!!!! I got into UBT right when the beginning of Smokey was happening, can’t be more excited
Also I need me one of those koolrests for mine
Really like this truck hope you keep it the same color
Noise could be flywheel bolts. Probably needs the entire top end gone through and torque check on all bolts and nuts.
God that one ton is sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would absolutely love to restore this truck. It is so rare for a 3500 single rear wheel square body.
I've driven those old military CUCV's with the diesels back in my military days. 3 speeds of NOISE! The brush guard and rear bumper will look awesome on your truck.
I replaced my tailgate lights with some from Rural King Farm store had the exact same light for like $5-6 each.
I have an 84 K30 (M1008) that someone put a 350 TBI / TH400 and mine needs more power for sure. Steering upgrades are a must for yours. 👍
I just got my 1989 r3500 going this week! Literally filling it up with gas when I saw this video!
Well I’m looking for this truck now 😂 I want one
Cool truck , I would shorten the frame and put a stepside bed on it , cool wheels and tires
Need some papis sweet patina sauce on the unit! That ticking seems to be valvetrain related but you can’t rule out a strange exhaust noise if the system is all cobbled together.
6bt!!!!!! 😊
I was just watching the latest Milford Bros video. There was a dually in a background shot that had those tailgate marker lights you were looking for. Maybe they have some they're willing to part with! Good Luck, from down here in Statesboro, Gawga!
Awesome truck for sure. I have some lifter noise coming from my OBS 😢 oooo yeah cool hat 😅👊🏻
Definitely following this one Robbie. I have the 91 GMC R3500 dually flavor. Sweet truck! You wouldn't happen to have another set of drip rails sitting around would you?
I have the Toyo mts but in 35x12.50 15s on my truck its 2wd and I take her places that most 4 wheel drives won't go.
I love this land yacht 😂
Gosh me too!
Livin that croc life 😂
Haha I’m a fairly new convert
De esas naves ya no seven por aquí es taria vien que la revibieras tal como salio de ajencia para darnos una idea como era en sus tiempos
The only thing that would make that truck cooler is if was mine. I love those old forestry trucks. I have an 89 R3500 crew dually square 2wd would love to have a crew in a 4wd.
definitely not an exhaust leak. for sure a mechanical noise
I have a 82 shortbox 2. Wheel drive that I call smokey Forrest service truck also
Hey guys! Thanks for sharing this video. That's one beautiful truck you got there. That ticking sound could be a leaky exhaust manifold gasket. That happened to me once.
And it sure was!
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS No way!! Really? I must say, I feel quite honored that I could give you guys some useful information. I'm glad you located the problem & thanks again for the fantastic content. You guys are an inspiration to so many of us!
🖤
I have a perfect fey bumper that would go great on this truck
I know with all the mechanical inclined people you run around with, all y’all might already know this trick. Pour some marvel mystery oil i it and run it. Sitting up for a long time can be harsh on lifters. Just don’t run it too long or you’ll wipe the cam lobes if it doesn’t clear up. A little ATF in the oil will do it good also. I’m probably preaching to the choir and some might say I’m crazing but it does work a lot of times. But hey cool square and the color is awesome!
Man we tried that. Hoping it would work. And replaced a bad lifter. We’ll sort it out. I love the truck it’s worth the time, effort, money. Thanks for watching!
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Oh I recently rebuilt my dads truck. 1982 3/4 ton. Grew up riding in the truck. First truck I ever drove. Took my drivers license test in it. Drove it to high school. My father passed away 3 years ago and it was sitting in the barn for 15 years not running. He left it to me. Trust me I understand. I’m 35 now and the truck hasn’t left the family since it was new. Ain’t nothing like a square!
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS cracked flex plate will make that noise
Robbie initially I thought the carrier bearing was bad but saw you replaced it something I remember about the noise is on the exhaust manifold is there a flapper type of deal on it I remember those giving the effect of a ticking lifter but I don’t know if you have that on there just something I remembered from my younger days being a issue with those trucks and motors!!!????
It definitely could be this! That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. Something on the exhaust manifold flapping or something like that
👍👍👍👍
Always wondered how hard is to menovour in parking lots
Awesome truck! Now I really want know why the government puts pins in the hoods of there trucks.
Alot of the TBI engines would wear out the front crankshaft bearing.
Great info. Thank you.
Are we gunna get another k30 video soon?
It would be good to have a PDR guy take care ove all the love taps. Then put some Detriot Steel wheels and Patina sauce on it.
That’s about the plan right there!
I’m 100% sure I saw Smokey on an episode of faster with finnegan last night. Older episode of course. The one where they were trying to wheelie the motor home. Is that Smokey in the episode?
Yep. We used to share a wall with them before he moved to another storage facility.
That’s so awesome! Smokey is my favorite out of your fleet.
Looked like it was missing the front drive shaft.
Yep, I discuss why in the video
I hope you keep it as close as stock as it is. I. hope you DON'T lower it!
I would never lower a 4x4 classic. And this truck is getting stock-ish upgrades. It will retain all the spirit of a k30
✌👍
In need to come to the US and find a v3500 crew cab all the ones crew cabs I bc are rotten, 2nd or both
We have a few here for sure
Those tbi motors didn't make a lot power. In my opinion they were one of the most reliable motors gm has ever made. You see a lot of non LS swapped early (90-93) OBS trucks still on the road. I say keep it OG that motor still has some life left in it for sure.
That’s my thinking currently
Is possible make a 800hp 1970 c -10 truck pls say I will be waiting for the reply bro pls suggest best
engine for this build
I think guys have done it with turbo 6 litres
Sounds like lose or cracked flywheel
I thought about that too. Im going to look into it
@UNITEDBYTRUCKS I'd bet a coke in a glass bottle w peanuts floating in it on it
where is ubtk5
Duramax Allison
Hey I'm from Alabama.and could give me the address. Of the guy who did all that do the 1974 Chevy/10....aka Mississippi mud..I need a light restoration on my 1982 swb Silverado Thanks.
Picked up a 82 C10 for my wife. Been doing some work to it and have been watching your videos. Reached out to that_ventwindow_guy to check on rebuilding mine. Learned about that on your interview with Rocky and his stepside. Excellent content. Liked and subscribed. Keep it up!!
I would love to see the duramax swap in this truck.
That's blasphemy
I have m1028a1
LS swap it
Got the same truck without the dents.Tan over org.white?
88,000 org miles.Marietta Radiator replaced everthing to get my AC working ?year before last.fuel pumps for both tanks /well finally replace both tanks and yes /the rocker switch goes bad/there cheap f rom GM.
If you know for sure it's a lifter, try a gt. of auto. trans. fluid in the engine. I have done this many times for chevy lifter noise and has worked great.
