Kyle this S10 is really coming together, Love everything you've done with it so far, and can't wait to see it with paint and all finished up. Great work again Kyle 👍..
Coming along nicely. Our Astro Gladiator repower project is on hold for a while. I like the rims you chose. we have a set of 87 Monte Carlo checkered flag pattern wheels, which are my favorite Chevy rim ever, but they are only 14x6. We will prob end up choosing some Iroc 16’s for our van. I’m impressed with the amount of work you have put into your S10. Take care and have fun. @12:53 is what I was envisioning when I nudged you toward 350 S10’s to begin with. As I said then: “it’s like they were made for each other.” Cheers.
Kyle keep up the good work man. I've been watching your videos ever since I was in the 3rd grade which was over 7 and a half years ago. I'm just about to finish up my sophomore year of high school. U r still one of my favorite RUclipsrs of all time. Thank you for uploading really awesome content and keep up the good work.
Looking great Kyle! One tad bit of advice. If you aren't planning on putting the 1/2" blocks in the back, you need to cut the ends of the u-bolts off within a quarter of an inch from the face of the nuts. They can catch on stuff and if you have a flat can hit the ground bending them making it almost impossible to get the u-bolts out. Learned that the hard way back in my mini-truckin days in the late 80's early 90's. Otherwise everything looks mint!!
Those wheels are perfect - I didn’t realise they were Monte Carlo wheels although I see it now. The refurb is stunning - I thought they were new wheels!
This may sound crazy, but I too have a 4 door 69 Chevelle and am also rebuilding a 1st gen S10. The Chevelle is the daily, the S10 I'm putting back to how it was the day my grandfather bought it new, but with a 350hp 4.3L. I had a 350 in it for the last few years, but it's time to stand out and be different from all the other V8 S10s in town.
Brand new springs will settle once you put some miles on it, which will make the truck lower. After you do the alignment have it checked again in 500 miles to make sure everything is good. I'm assuming camber and caster is set with shims so make sure you find a good shop, you want the place that puts down fender covers. Positive caster makes for a more stable ride but it increases steering effort so keep that in mind if you're doing custom specs and they can't get it to come in exactly. Sometimes you can increase caster to decrease camber, negative camber is good for handling but too much will wear the inside of the tires
Yeah new tires can make even half finished projects look so much better. I agree the the white letter tires look great on these 80s and 90s 1/4 ton trucks. I have the cooper versions of those onb my 94 dakota and they just fit so well
@@saabkyle04 im assuming you still have the engine from the crew cab project. That would be cool to use in the chevelle. Maybe throw a centrifugal supercharger on it too.
You are right about that. I still have a lot to learn and this is just easier for me to understand. It's still stressful at times, but I am just so proud of how far this truck has come.
Not sure yet, I will most likely end up taking it to a shop to have one made. Little Shop's suggestion worked out great, got the calipers bled last night, now they work like a charm.
This video really got me thinking. I have the ATS brembos with c7 rotors on my s10. Truck currently has 18s but I'm looking of going to the zq8 16s. Terrified I'm gonna buy them and they won't clear the calipers
I see you torqued down that axle nut pretty good.... but aren't those wheel bearings supposed to be finger tight? I've installed a bunch of those and the book only wants it finger tight.... please check.
Agreed, initial torque down while spinning the rotors to seat them. Back the nut off and then just barely snug to put a light preload on the bearings is how I have always done it.
If you didn't paint that master cylinder it's going to rust and look like hell in no time, paint it with high temp paint or clear coat to keep a factory look/finish
I know, now that the brakes are bled, I'll probably just rust treat it and hand paint it as best I can. I didn't want to take the chance of brake fluid getting on fresh paint and ruining it.
What torque did you put the spindle nut at? I've never seen one put down with a torque wrench. I've only seen the method of tighten it than back off and pin it.
Hi Kyle is your 1986 chevy c10 a 2wd or 4wd. If it's a 4 wheel drive install a lift kit on it with bigger tires and wheels, intsall a rear diff locker on it, and a custom bumper with a wrench
Yeah man, I completely understand you. I really appreciate your understanding with all of it! Nothing new with the Nissan yet. I have a whole lot of wiring to do, just have to find time to really sit down and work through it for like a week lol.
Hi Kyle. I have contacted you before. I think your interest in gen one S-10's is incredible. You are always looking for suggestions. So far you haven't bit on any of my suggestions. I have an incredible mint survivor time capsule. 1987 S10 Blazer Tahoe 4X4 with 62K unmolested miles on her. It has the 2.8 V6. With the 2.8 V6. the Blazer is slower than a riding mower. Would you be interested in doing an incredible swap on it. DCS (Diesel Conversion Specialist) makes a drop in swap kit. It includes the adapter plate, fly wheel, starter motor, all the nuts and bolts, etc... to mate a TH700R4 trans to a VW TDI diesel. Much more Horsepower and Much more Torque and when it is done, AN INCREDIBLE possible 30-50+ Miles Per Gallon. With the 20 gallon tank in the Blazer that is a 600 to a 1000 mile range, with enough power to pull a house down. My suggestion would be to get a complete engine with all the accessories already bolted on so it would need limited modifications like AC and PS lines made up. The VW TDI's are capable of 200 (reliable) hp with minimal upgrades, like larger injectors and a slightly larger turbo. I hope I have peaked your interest this time.
So now that the truck drives there is something you should research. The TV cable for the transmission NEEDS to be properly adjusted otherwise the transmission will quickly burn itself out. Also how do you plan to get the torque converter to lock up? Since your truck is carbureted there is no computer to engage the lockup so how do you plan to go about that.
The TV cable set up is VERY important. However, he put in a 700R4 tranny which is "analog" so no computer communication. Kyle, please let us know how you adjust the TV cable.
Yes, you are 100% correct. The truck isn't "driveable" quite yet, the whole suspension needs tightening, the diff needs fluid, the TV cable needs adjusting, etc. I have found several videos out there and there's a bunch of info on google on TV cable adjustment so I'll work on that very soon. I think the most important thing is for the 1st to 2nd gear change to be around 20mph, but I have to double check. I know there's the bulk adjustment and the fine adjustment. TCI had a wire harness attached to the TCC module. I connected it to an ignition power as they indicated so the lockup should work as it's supposed to. I don't know much else about it at the moment.
@@saabkyle04 That's interesting. I thought you would do what other people do with the TCC by just putting it on a toggle switch. But yes do make sure to get the TV cable adjusted correctly as the trans will QUICKLY burn itself out and you don't want that
I was wondering if you were going to run the Monte SS wheels when I saw them in the last episode. My Ex had them on her Camaro. I found this channel because of the crew cab, bummed you skipped it, but understandable.
Nice job man looks good coming a long way now! Why wouldn't you just do the corvette conversion? I did that with my truck and I love it. Major stopping power in it as well. Could have saved you money I think going that way.
Thanks a lot! I've seen the corvette conversion too, but as mentioned, I already had these brakes on the shelf so I figured I might as well use them since they were no longer going on the crew cab.
@@saabkyle04 I remember way back in a day just before I went to army, your channel was the most first who give us in depth tour of cars and you was so young..

I really like the new wheels and brake setup! Nice job Kyle you've come along way on this channel!
Thanks pal!!
Saabkyle04 good morning buddy how’s your know tools doing?
You should do the same Wilwood Brake Conversion on the Chevelle when you Finish the S10
This is bound to be the sauciest s10 on the streets, truck's looking mint kyle
Thank you so much!!
ZQ8 wheels off a late model S10 are hard to find but are 16" and are so awesome!! Look sweet on a lowered truck. Love this build.
Thanks! 👍
Kyle keep up the good work man. I've been watching your videos ever since I was in the 3rd grade which was over 7 and a half years ago. I'm just about to finish up my sophomore year of high school. U r still one of my favorite RUclipsrs of all time. Thank you for uploading really awesome content and keep up the good work.
Man, you have me wishing I didn't sell my MC SS wheels a couple years ago. those brakes worked out well and look good on the S10
Kyle when the S10 project is done you should totally take this to Rod Run in Pigeon Forge, TN

Thank you Rodney!! That is a great tip, I never thought of that!
This is really starting to come together. I love how the body looks really rough but everything under the skin is new and beautiful.
One day the outside will compliment the inside! Thank you!
Those wheels are perfect - I didn’t realise they were Monte Carlo wheels although I see it now. The refurb is stunning - I thought they were new wheels!
I'm super happy with them!
Great job as always 💪🏼❤️ That's going to be a Quick little Truck. I'm loving it so far 😊

Also most proportioning valve has a little bulb on them to divert all fluid to rear.

I miss the old car review videos 🥺
The crew cab was the only reason I subscribed to this channel 😭
Matthew Sutterfield
Yep that is the one I was waiting for
Sorry to hear that. At the end of the day, I had to do what's best for me and my channel.

I wish I could've had the 4 door s10, seriously woulvde been the best project ever
This thing is going to be a blast! Can really hear that cam now!
Yeah man, I'm so stoked!
I know the S10’s predecessor is the LUV
Hey Kyle I was hoping to see the chew cab S10 come together. Maybe down the road you can pick another one up
I'm trying to avoid things that involve significant fabrication until I get more experience. I'm already stressed out enough as it is lol.
Awesome as usual!
Those brakes and wheels look super cool! I really like it so much.
Good job! Looking forward to the development of the project.
I can’t wait to see the interior finished!
I'm really excited to work on it!
Your doing good at this progress of the S10 Kyle Lindsey!
First of these videos i see!!! Very cool to see you building!!! Your reviews are the best of the game! 💪💪
Monte Carlo SS rims will *always* be classic
For sure! I REALLY like the 17" versions Year One offers!
Kyle Another informative video. Can’t wait to see the finished
Product
You look more comfortable doing older GM projects. I HIGHLY respect that.
You are right about that. I still have a lot to learn and this is just easier for me to understand. It's still stressful at times, but I am just so proud of how far this truck has come.
Hi Kyle! Nice series! But blinking really helps.
As usual another informative and stellar video Kyle. It has been a blast following this project! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for the support!
You should do a cab visor
I have a NOS lund visor with the lights! I'll be doing an install video on it at some point.
Looks fantastic! Love the fender flairs, looking to get some for my s10.
Thanks buddy!
Hey Kyle are you going to repaint this s10 at the shop or take it somewhere
This build is awesome, thanks for the great vid!
I dig the wheel choice. But id love to see that front end come up, maybe just a few turns on those torsion bars. Gotta be close to the bump stops??
This is a 2WD truck so no torsion bars. I will have to double check the bump stops, but I think they're ok for now.
@@saabkyle04 ohhhh that's right...
Awesome video Kyle!
Good tire selection! I have always thought the radial ta wol tire looks great on a truck!
Thank you! I'm very pleased with the outcome 😎
S10 is looking sweet. Can't wait to see it on the road. What exhaust system are you going with? Try using a vacuum bleeder to bleed the rear calipers.
Not sure yet, I will most likely end up taking it to a shop to have one made. Little Shop's suggestion worked out great, got the calipers bled last night, now they work like a charm.
Very nice truck so far the rims are awesome for that truck
The bleeder screw is supposed to be on top. If it's on the bottom switch the calipers. And bleed again. Air does get trapped
The bleeder screws are on top and they're on the correct sides. I have since done what they suggested and it worked like a charm.
Looks great 😎💪... Will look even better sprayed black 🖤
Black is too much maintenance for me haha, thanks bud!
Who misses his reviews?
Can’t wait to see the s13!!
This video really got me thinking. I have the ATS brembos with c7 rotors on my s10. Truck currently has 18s but I'm looking of going to the zq8 16s. Terrified I'm gonna buy them and they won't clear the calipers
I saw that your dads old dealership reopened but under a different name
He's leasing it to someone else. Dad retired from the car business a while back.
Saabkyle04 that must have been the reason why it was under under a different name
@7:16.. At first glance. i thought the handy packer was like a strawberry/cherry dessert maker.
You have to adjust the parking brakes
Hey kyle been fan of yours for years man, keep work in progress.
I appreciate that!
Youre welcome man
Looking forward to see the end of this project 😁👍 because the truck looks awesome that remind me with the jemy
You and me both! Thank you!
Awesome! Wheels looks great!
Thank you!!
Love this truck cant wait to get mine done
🤘😎🤘
@@saabkyle04 do u know if this will work on a stock S10 platform what kind of tire did you use
Lookin good bud!
it’s coming along great
Thanks!!
those wheels were also used in the 1988 chevy montecarlo 😁👍
You are right!
great job its been a fun project..
Yes it has!
I love watching your videos
Nice vid Kyle!!
Your truck looks great love it.
Thank you so much!
That said I want to see the crew cab
ive been missing out on the new videos. im off of school now so i can watch the v8 s10 bulid:)
🤘😎🤘
How is he not getting a million views?
RUclips's algorithm sucks, subscriptions don't matter much anymore.
@@saabkyle04 i hope u start getting dem views because u deserve then keep grinding.
Did I see the bleeder for the willwoods on the bottom of the caliper?
The wilwoods have two bleeder screws on each caliper
Nice Truck
Where did you purchase those Monte Carlo SS wheels?
Are still doing the dual rear tire setup in the back
Nah, that was for the crew cab. I'm going to repurpose most of the rear end parts on the chevelle probably.
What was the part # for the front brake kit?
I have a '91 S-10 and would love a set of those rims. Were you able to buy them online or just have to hunt for a set?
I actually found them and the center caps on ebay!
I see you torqued down that axle nut pretty good.... but aren't those wheel bearings supposed to be finger tight? I've installed a bunch of those and the book only wants it finger tight.... please check.
Agreed, initial torque down while spinning the rotors to seat them. Back the nut off and then just barely snug to put a light preload on the bearings is how I have always done it.
I followed the torque specification and sequence as outlined in the GM factory service manual.
