With the engine block at the machine shop, I turn my attention to the engine compartment and interior of #ETCGDadsTruck and begin stripping things down. This is a 1990 GMT400, but I suspect the process is similar on all GMT400 trucks that ran from 1989-1999.
I also start work on the engine compartment in this episode.

The more detail the better for me. I live the in depth parts of a build. So many other channels skip over parts that’s why I live this channel. Keep it as it is Eric it’s awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I agree completely, but I also get where Eric is coming from. Love to see the content either way.
@@perdvonhorst1577 hi JU i
Been watching you for years now. Keep doing what your doing bro learned a lot from you
Thank you!
@@ericthecarguy p
Watching this build makes me miss my 90 short box reg cab that was stolen.
Seeing the old radio brought back memories.
This is the kinda stuff that I have to watch before bed so I can sleep.
Can I just say thank you to the camera person for doing such a good job?
32mm in case you were wondering....
we weren't wondering but...
STAND TALL ERIC!
Love your show, please show as much of the work done on your dad's truck as possible. I love learning how things are taken apart and put back together again. I helps refresh my memory when I worked on my "57 T210 Chevy and '68 396 SS El Camino. Keep up the good demonstration projects you do.
Just started this same process 2 weeks back. Glad to see I wasn't the only one fighting those seat bolts.
Also that interior is clean. My old mans looked like the grand canyon.
The weight savings from removing the screws in just the dash are significant!
The minutiae are what I keep tuning in to your channel for; you're genuinely educational, not just entertaining.
Eric The Car Guy.
The awesome RUclipsr that cares for his viewers and their opinions, and on top of that has the voice of a telemarketer that is selling something that is actually useful and we are interested in.
(That's a compliment Eric)
That radio/dash layout brings back so many memories. My dad had a truck with that layout when I was little (26 now) and I specifically remember the running/headlight button/switch things. Headlights turn both on and running lights turns just 1 on. I also remember the climate controls there's a green screen with arrows above the H/C. When switching in-between the temps there will be 1 or 2 arrows at a time running left and right to indicate the temp.
Been watching your videos for years!!! No matter what problems I have with any of my cars somehow I’ve always stumbled onto your videos!
Attention to detail is key it's always the small things that get people in trouble keep posting detailed videos please ty bro
Sounds like a solid plan for the rest of the project videos. That detail could always be available for later 'bonus' videos for those in between weeks during downtime or time away.
As we dont have those trucks in Aus all your work is actually just entertainment to me,, having said that I am happy to continue watching everything you post,, I am looking forward to you doing the electronic guages.. Thanks Eric!
Thanks!
The video should have been 0:30 long....
Welcome back guys, to remove a Chevy truck interior you need a handgrenade.... Cue outro
Eric, you do a wonderdul job and I enjoy the extensive information you provide. Thank you!
GM builds a good truck hard to believe it is 30 years old+ and solid built!!!
Mec Alpsha Truck is as old as me
They used to make a good truck. GM is trash nowadays.
tesa tape ftw.. April 20 1990 I smiled about as big as you. lol
seeing your thinking out what you want an how you got there is not boring it gives others ideas --- just seeing the end results is great BUT the journey to it is what we love about you an fact you not Fake It easy - keep up the good work
Thank you for putting up this. I know you were debating, but it's fascinating to see how things are put together, and how they come apart, as well as your thoughts on what's happening and why. These are good stuff for when I do things in a similar vein.
You don't have to do every single minute, that's... well, sorta insane. :)
Whatever you do, we appreciate it and thanks for lettin' us watch and learn!
Its funny to see others having issues with Milwaukee M12 ratchets. When they first came out I went all in and bought both the 3/8 and 1/2. Disappointing power. Anyway thank you for all your videos. I remember you saved my bacon when I stripped a rotor screw in my honda.
THIS ONE I am going to record to have later to look at !! ""I "" had to do that to my 93 to get that whole a/c heater unit out to repair the EVAPORATOR and heater !! I ALMOST had to remove the dash to get it out and back in !! I fixed that actuator that was always going cick,click,click !! THE only way I got that done was because of vidios by guys like you !! THAK YOU !!! I also was abel to completly re-do the doors ,windows ,locks handels !!
"All right, I'm thinking... I know, I probably shouldn't do that." - Story of my life!
Eric, thank you so much for all that you do. Your videos have saved me big time, cheers...
Keep doing what you are doing. Love watching all your vids, especially The Fairmont and Dad's Truck.
Sweet video!! Thanks for putting out awesome videos! I drive 99 K1500 suburban. So it's similar. Now I understand how the job covers. I'd be happy with more in depth videos of engine bay work and interior work. I look forward to see more. Eric! Great video!!
Thanks for everything you do Eric.
They are loose and when bolted to the hood they are solid in place. This is correct!
Eric: Gotta find a place for truck parts
Me: What about the bed?
I love to see it all, every step of every part of the build.
"as you've noticed I'm trying to take apart as little as possible"
.....
.......
Says the guy who has dismantled the entire drivetrain, pulled the seat and seatbelts out, gauge cluster is gone, door sills are out, shifter and linkage is gone....... lmao
Hey! Give the guy a break! I mean, he is leaving the old dash wiring in, isn't he?
Whatever makes it easier & to the point for u Eric. Keep the vids coming.
I like all the detail of everything you do.
I might be getting a truck like this.. so being able to watch you take one apart like this is amazing. There is just not as much info on the early 90s Chevy trucks.. and hope to get as much as possible if I get one.
This interior is my all time favorite ever. I had a 1992 GMC and it had the gages that were the orange bar thing filled in with white and loved it.
Always enjoy your videos Eric thank you from South Africa
I got say, if that’s what you want to do, go for it ETCG! As a consumer, I’ll be happy either way.
Happy To See the Alert, Great Video Eric
Enjoyed it brother that was interesting lot more to it than I thought. Whatever you got brother I'm here to watch and learn have a good day
Excellent work, as always!
You have a good mind to remember where all that wiring and parts go back. I could do the disassembly, but not the re-assembly. Good luck, Eric!
You post it and we;ll watch it. You could post a TL;DR video for those that are anxious to see the end product and then post the long stuff for the rest of us.

This Spring I bought also a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Longbox v6 5 speed manual NO rust with on 22997 miles on her when money and title changed hands! I love that old Dodge as much as my 1995 c1500 Chevrolet.
Props to Cameraman Brian. (HI, Brian!) At the risk of incurring ire due to endless editing, I'd love to see the detail stay, if possible. While editing out redundant parts, or tightly editing redundant procedures like installing/removing bell housing bolts, for example, that should help keep things efficient. THANKS for all the lessons and the vids, Eric and Brian!
I'd like to see how it all goes together - not detailed, but what you decided to do with the cluster and things you mentioned.
Yes, details on the cluster...
I like what you did do here. It could've been minimalized a little more, but then who doesn't like a power tool buzzing away at bolts and screws. Knowing the locations of the fasteners is helpful as well, so one could pause/slow if they're putting a Chevy back together.
I've been doing this on my 79 dodge. Just finished it up. Very proud of myself. I'm not a mechanic.
We like details, Eric ! We learn from that. You make the mistakes, and we probably do as well but maybe a few less mistakes, because we did not retain enough of it, but some...
Film the way you do the refit eg: the custom dash, engine build and radio. Think we basically know how the seat will go back in etc. Doing this may save you editing time.
Love you Eric! Your stuff is so good
Eric you have inspired me to do a complete cab off restomod on my Stepside. Thank you.I am looking forward to tearing her down. Hopefully I can put her back.
Very nice! Jerry Reed/Smokey and the Bandit reference. I enjoyed that...
Wow Eric great job brother!!! You have an amazing memory
Keep going, I'm enjoying your work.
Don't you just love watching these, see Eric says "I'm not gonna do that" and thinking "Ohhh Eric, if you only knew what I know"?
But I'm the one driving the truck. I know how this all ends. If you only knew what I know. 😉
He is the one building the truck & definitely knows what is needed & what is not for his build.
Keep the details Eric, we love 'em !
I have a 91 that I plan to do and I’d like to replace the cluster as well so I would love to see the rest of the video and how you put this stuff together. Im horrible with losing screws, bolts and nuts so I use the baggies and tape them to the stuff it came off and mark them too. That was good advice I wished I knew 20 years ago. I learned that wd40 on my hands smears the ink on the baggies so I try not to handle stuff after it’s labeled and put aside. Great job, I really enjoyed the detailed description about the trim and column removal. I’d love to see and hear more about wiring everything back up. Those wiring diagrams always give me difficulty. Great work and thanks for taking the time to film and edit all this material. I know it takes a while to do and appreciate your time and effort.
The radio looks like the device you punch in the time in that DeLorean from Back To the Future.
Eric, I'd love to see the details.... as I said before, I've got a 91 that I need to do what you've done to. However, if you want and need to wrap it up I'd completely understand. I'm very interested in the dash removal/replacement.... engine and trans swaps and really enjoyed the suspension upgrade. Whatever you choose to do is fine by me. I just want to thank you for all you've done with it so far... I really appreciate it Man...!!
Hey man good work keep up the detailed vids 🤪🤪👍🏻
Looking forward to the new gauge cluster and stereo install going to look sweet when your done
Eric another great video!
Stuff I’m really curious about:
-gauges
-how you got HVAC and any other factory systems to work. Are they all just relays?
-wiring harness teardown, how did you decide what to keep? Any mistakes made?
-someone else mentioned the electric fan. I’m also curious about that and all the other many custom systems.
-if you can get the cruise control working, that would be super awesome to see!
You could also use that slot as a place to store a tablet with engine management stuff. DIY a hinge mechanism that allows you to slide it out. Kinda like the "hip" screen units back in the "pimp my ride" era. Theoretically, it's a straight slider type with a pivot. You pull the tablet out, let it drop (unto a pin to affix it) and that's that.
Wish I'd have thought of that, but I think you'll like what I did.
Goodness and I was stressing just replacing my gauge cluster in my 94. I guess that’s child’s play.
Honestly enjoy these longer videos.
Love that new dash!
There are not many good quality videos about interior, so they will be handy. Yes, I agree on the Fairmont series where in my opinion a bit long but the way you presented them where so amusing that I watched all them as well, lol
Thanks for uploading great content!
Please please try and cover as much as possible we really enjoyed watching your videos thank you Eric from South Africa
Do you know that you was the first automotive channel i subscribe looong time ago mor than 7 years more or less and until now i subscribe to many channels but you are the base for auto channel due to the hard and detailed content that you provide right here so keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Had to check the date hahaha you always post repair style videos on Friday
Alot of work , good job bro
I’d like to see your electric fan setup and install. More focus on modifications, less on the common tear down and install stuff.
This guy gets it! All the little custom systems come with so many questions. Questions Eric can answer!
Eric, thanks for the electrical tape link in the description. How did you know I was going to ask?
I try and anticipate what my viewers will have questions about in all of my videos. It's really great when it works out.
It's good tape, too!
Awesome I have 93 chevy as well I'm put new dashboard thanks for the video
that's impressive work, at the same time .. as a nostalgic guy it's sad to see that old nice interior ripped out
It goes back together at the end though. Looking better than ever. At least for me. Hopefully it will be fore you too.
My thoughts are:-
A small % of your audience has one of those trucks or something similar enough to really need all the detail. They would be wise to go to your website anyway.
A much bigger % just like interesting content & presenting style and I think the best of that will be in select parts of the build like the custom gauges, getting the engine running etc. Also seeing it driven & your Dad's reaction will be fun.
Like many have mentioned, I like the detail level of your videos, but at the same time I think I would prefer to clear some of the backlog to get build videos closer to present day. I prefer when comments can contribute to the outcome or direction (or at least have the chance to), rather than just be suggestions after the fact.
Thank you for that thoughtful input.
Good job Eric thanks
Details are what make the project.
0:58 Had to pause and go listen to a Jerry Reed song, but I'm back now.
I really dig that Milwaukee ratchett.
Always enjoy your videos. I do like the details cause its not like I have as much experience as you. I want to learn how to do detail work without damaging 30 year old plastic parts. (I own my dad's 1990 350 TBI, longbed, extended cab K2500.) Keeping doing what your doing, (especially on your dad's truck).
Eric, you got your year range off. It's from 88 to 98. Nevermind he changed it. At the time I left this comment it said 1989 to 1999.
That's C1500 body style, with C3500 ending in 2002. The interior of late 1987 into 1995 and engine layout are different for post 1995 C1500.
@@christianguzman8228 Just noticed he changed the title. When I commented he had 1989 to 1999.
Hey,he got adjusteble steering wheel now. Great vid like alway's!!!
holy shit iv been workin on these trucks for 20 years n i cant remember the last time the screws on those plastic strips there at the door threshold on the floor actually came out lol i always have to grind them flush push the screw threw so its a hold again, a drill bit just walks n ur screw doesnt go back in straight (big deal right) or the screw will jus keep twistin off most of the time..
Thanks Eric
Great video, but 94 was the last year for that dash 95 went with a curvier dash.
Great video
I would gloss over the general mechanical parts go more in depth with the custom stuff and use cut takes or time lapse for nuts and bolts.
I previously said all the details but with the way you put it I think cutting out a lot of what is just easy or meticulous stuff would be beneficial. Engine build details yes, cluster details of course I think most car people don’t need to see the stuff like seat removal or little things like that.
I had a 1990 Chevy Z71 4x4. I didn't have that fancy EQ in the dash but it was a great truck.
There was a modeler's spray paint, i don't remember the brand, but should be easily found in one of the many stores in NA that cater to such things (they would know best which it is), that when sprayed, left behind a perfect puffy mat black. That would be excellent as backdrop for the gage cluster. Certainly, it does not reflect any light.
Just for reference that interior ended in 94. So this guide would be applicable for 1988-1994. 95 is when they made the switch to the newer interior and the vortec series 350’s and 305’s
No Vortec until ‘96.
athhud true forgot about that, yeah forgot the TBI’s are in the 95’s
I bought my ‘95 2dr Tahoe when I was 16 thinking it would be the same as my ‘97 that I totaled in the first 6 months that I had it. Had no idea that it wouldn’t have the vortec. That was quite disappointing since I bought on the internet thousands of miles away... Still own and love that truck though. It now has a Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear. The engine is currently on a stand and I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to stroke it or ditch it for a Cummins or LS1...
My favorite body style. I’m keeping mine original.
Lmfao at removing the CD changer and running away like a thief lmfao so funny
The way that radio was wired in was rediculous!
Awesome video as usual !!!!!!!!!!! Could you do videos on both the radio and gauges ???
Love the detail and keep it coming! I have a 1992 k2500 that I'm slowly restoring/fixing and the insight of what I'm looking at in the future is very nice and informational.
I've always heard these are great trucks!
THEY ARE I LOVE MY 93
