I purchased my 1976 Chevy stepside right after I got hired as a mechanic in a mill I worked in. In 1976 off road trucks were far and few in between. People were putting blocks under the axle to raise up the truck. I wasn’t sold, my dad suggested having the front and rear leaf packs re-arched. There was a blacksmith shop that would occasionally do them. I added 3” in the front and 4” in the rear. Once I did it with in a year he was only doing spring work. He also would make headache racks for the trucks in the oil field I had him build a “mushroom bar with a lay down spare tire much like yours. Great build on this truck!
Looks great, maybe do a plate for the rear down bars on bed rack so it's removable, or those door bar couplers they sell. Just friendly suggestions, I look forward to your videos every week. Thanks for the great content.
Andrew - Great education on how to bend brake lines ... showing the detail you did has helped me a bunch with the project I've been working on ... much appreciated :o)
There are def things I would do different. The tire would be mounted on the passenger side of the bed inside standing up. The roll bar would not go through the bed. And I would have an LED lightbar instead of the individual lights. The roll bar would also be a headache rack. I know that what you did is what the customer wants and it is cool. I am just saying how I would.
That's the awesome thing about this industry! There's a million ways to do thing depending on the final result you're going for. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Absolutely love this build. Can't wait to see it completed. It's crazy how much work you guys are doing to it. Idk if it's possible or not but I'm literally drooling over this truck. So cool!
Great work, always fun to watch street guys build offroaders, totally different approach. Would love to see some gusseting on those tire mount studs, if that truck gets gnarly offroad the weight and momentum of the tire will wreak havoc on the mounts, and wreck the mounts (see what i did there...)
Thanks for the heads up! We love tackling projects like this because it gives us a chance to grow and learn. Especially when other builders or enthusiasts can share their advice and experience!
I just found out about you guys, so I'm catching up. Cool episode, and nice truck. If you had put the main hoop through the bed floor like the rear kickers, (or plated above and below the bed floor and connected to the frame to make it removable) it would be a more roll bar than light bar.
Hello. I been following your builds and I have to say that I really like the work you put on those vehicles, but I have to disagree (friendly) about the rollbar on this truck. It's not a good idea to have a part of the tubes welded to the frame and the other part bolted to the bed because thos will flex in different ways, and the part that support the spare tire needs more reinforcement, in my opinion. Please, I don't want to criticize your work, is just a friendly advice. Thanks for share those great works on your chanel. Greetings from Spain.
Thanks for the feedback! If it was a full roll cage going through the cab and up to the front we'd agree with you. But the bed is going to be pretty solidly mounted to the frame. The bed will roll generally at the same pitch as the frame it's mounted on. At most it may flex the side of the bed slightly, but nothing to the extent that it would crack or break anything! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
Worked your ass off on the roll bar with great attention to detail but as an off roader I do have some constructive feedback. And I really hate to say anything but since you haven't painted it yet.....if, God forbid, he should actually roll the truck, the bed can crush so the main hoop should also have 5th and 6th point connections that 90 straight down to the frame. And don't weld the tubing directly to the frame. There is an aftermarket 2 piece fitting. One piece welds to the frame, the other piece welds into the end of your tubing and they mate together, making the entire roll bar assembly removable. Also the spare tire mount is directly in line of sight when the truck is in reverse which would be very annoying. On the other hand, none of this matters if he isn't going to actually take it off road lol. Thank you for the great videos and hard work. I am seeing some very negative comments so I don't want to sound like a jerk. Just some thoughts from looking at the truck as if I was about to take it down a tough trail. Oh and go ahead and upgrade to a Warn winch. The LT swap, ORD coil overs, bead locks, and axles are all awesome. I especially like the ORD coiliver set up. Thank you
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely be looking into connecting that front section to the frame before it gets painted! We appreciate you commenting!
Looks good but gonna be a pain n the ass to get that big wheel on and off that rack. Woulda been easier to put it on a hinge so it'll be easier to line up and on that light bar need to run some of the front cab hoop down to the frame otherwise it's just gonna twist n crack on the trails and mess the bed sides up as well
There has to be a better way to make the oval cuts on the ends of tubing before welding. Using a hole saw, especially in a pistol drill, isn't the greatest situation. I've seen that done using a small belt sander laid horizontally with a table set up so the end of the tube leads into what is normally the top of the belt sander. The table can be adjustable for different angles.
We used to have a jig to put the tube and drill into to hold everything in place while you punch out the end of it. But Dave likes doing stuff the hard way!
Love the outcome of that wheel rack. Makes the truck look tough. And as always that patina touch just does it for me. I think the wheel bar should be white to match the top but its not my truck so my opinion means shit lmao! Nice work boys👊
Did you consider running your brake line down the trailing arm where the travel is nearly constant and the range of motion is lesser being nearer the fulcrum instead of at the apex where travel is greatest and the likelihood of damaging the soft line is greatest?😁
To do so would require two flexible lines (one on each end) and fasteners/joints. It is a good point, but perhaps keeping close the OEM design is what they had in mind. I ran the electric cables for the electronic brake calipers on the upper links on my truck.
I don’t think your light bar is going to work out! The front is mounted to the bed, but the back is mounted to the frame! If you’re not going to mount the bed solidly to the frame, but use body bushings, it’s going to crack!!! Either mount it all to the frame, or mounted to the bed! This is fabrication 101! 😂😂😂
From what I know, and I could be wrong, but long beds never came with a 16gal tank. They were always dual 20s. With that new engine in, it needs all the fuel it can carry. You have cut the range of this truck down to less that 200 mile per tank. Given if it gets 10MPG. Why only one tank and a 16 gallon at that? I really like how you have converted the leaf springs to coil. Mine drives like a dream this way.
Roll bar turned out great. You made the front bolt on, but you said you was going to weld the back to the frame. How you going to get the bed off later? Should of come off the frame to the bottom of the bed and made a plate to bolt it down. Just my opinion. Awesome video.
I love that branded spare wheel plate. One thing that baffles me is the roll bars that connect to the truck bed frame. How are you going to secure them?
The bed is lightweight sheet metal, and would rip through if the truck was upside down, collapsing the roll bar and providing no protection. With large enough plates it could be done, but welding to the frame is stronger, passes more standards used by offroad sanctioning bodies and provides more protection to the passengers. Plus, welding a plate to a corregagated bed floor is very very hard to do properly. Would be easier to just cut the diwnbars and reweld if it has to come off in the future
@@davidjpaddock yeah, but the front is just bolted to the bed sides. I'm pretty sure those 2 bars welded in there would just bend collapsing the bed sides and would push the bar into the cab.
Technical question. I have seen the regulator positioned before the fuel rails (like in this scenario) and after the fuel rails. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques?
With this being a high pressure direct injection engine, the regulator can only be used for the low side fuel system. The High Pressure pump exceeds 2000 PSI. On a Low pressure(Port Injection) fuel system it is best to put the regulator after the rails to provide consistent fuel pressure in the rails.
Love all your stuff. You guys are very talented. Just wondering why the bars did just sit directly on the frame. I'm no fabricator, so just curious. Thanks
Y’all got all the tools to run hardline fuel lines, is it customers choice to run the flex? Also, what are your thoughts on flex house vs hard line for fuel? Thanks!
We swapped the axels for some built APE axels a few episodes back! When we ordered them from APE we made sure to let them know what tires we were running!
We debated whether to make it removable, we came up with some nice ways to do it and after talking about the options with the customer he decided to go this route. And for the record, how often does one take a bed off a truck? ALMOST NEVER EVER
Love the roll bar and wheel mount …. Just think that the light mounts are welded on the wrong side of the bar 🤦🏿♂️ they should have been welded on the back side !!! Good luck hiding the wiring now with them all mounted out in front of the bar !!
Andrew, are you gonna tell us that you bent up all those brake lines, (did an amazing job by the way,) and did it all without forgetting at least one single flare nut ?
That roll bar looks beefy, a friend of mine has a wimpy little thing on his truck (I think it's factory), & I was telling him that in the event of a roll over it would be as effective as his bug guard.
Those mounts for the spare are gonna ruin that rim. Steal and aluminum together dont work well with that kinda stuff especially with it bouncing around in the back
The rubber of the tire is the only rear part of the mount that's touching. The rim is held on by the pressure of the rubber on the bars and the where is bolted down on the studs we created. But unfortunately the other 4 tires we have are going to be mounted directly onto the steel hubs of the truck when we're driving!
It will forever be a mystery to us! We do appreciate people's constructive criticism, but some people act like we stole their truck and started a fire in the cab! lol
Pointless in what way? 550 Hp, 4x4 with 12” of travel made for running the trails. Not to go to Home Depot to buy lumber lol. If he wants it do that he can pull a trailer
That tire carrier\light mount\wanna be roll bar monstrosity is terrible looking! The bars should be thicker for strength and aesthetics. The tire mounts way too far up and away from the cab just blocking your view and looking out of place. Then half of it is bolted to the bed sides while the other is welded directly to the frame?!? This is some highschool shop class stuff right here. The frame should have mounts for the front and back and the bar should bolt to those through the bed floor.
Patina is such a lazy overused "paint job" it really brings the quality of a build down this truck would be a 10/10 but owner choosing Patina makes it 7/10 at best.
@@SalvagetoSavage just to be clear you guys do amazing work and it's cool you know how to do patina I just think patina detracts from all the effort everywhere else .
I assume that the patina finish was requested by the owner of the truck. I would have paid extra for a brand new paint but it’s not my truck. That rack is freaking awesome!

No rear view with that beast of a wheel in the bed

Thanks for tuning in every week! And thanks for the suggestion! We'll definitely consider it before it gets painted and final installed!
I was thinking the same. If the roll hoop gets welded in then the bed can never be removed again
@@ross_12345 that's what cutting wheels are for lol
@@nomadnomad7 exactly! in the VERY rare chance the bed ever has to come off, simply cut the bar at the lower mount. then it can be rewalded.
I bet the bed will never come off, BUT if it does you just cut the bars and remove it. no biggie
Andrew - Great education on how to bend brake lines ... showing the detail you did has helped me a bunch with the project I've been working on ... much appreciated :o)

Dave went no bars hold on this one! He uncaged his skills and brought them to light(bar). Pudding. 😁😇🤟
hahaha! Thank you!
One step at a time, Id be honored to work @ such a capable shop. The Truck will Evolve, These Men are FIRE!!
We really appreciate that! Thanks for all the support!

I’m putting a lift in at home what pond lifts do you guys have? I was thinking 9k
maybe I missed this somewhere, but once you weld in the roll bar/spare tire mount, you won't be able to take the bed off anymore?
Did you consider running your brake line down the trailing arm where the travel is nearly constant and the range of motion is lesser being nearer the fulcrum instead of at the apex where travel is greatest and the likelihood of damaging the soft line is greatest?😁

I thought the same thing lol
I thought the same... And also, how they gonna remove the bed if it's welded to the frame? Have to cut it?
Same. Bushing mount those down bars. Plus the bed won't be stuck on forever.
Why didn't you make the roll bar demountable and the spotlight brackets pointing forward will whistle on the motorway I've already done that
All that tooling and skill and you couldn’t hide the bolts of the really nice KC lights?
From what I know, and I could be wrong, but long beds never came with a 16gal tank. They were always dual 20s. With that new engine in, it needs all the fuel it can carry.

It's anchored to the frame. I don't think it'll need to be secured at the top
Hey guys that it great work you guys do! What's the brand and part number on that in-tank fuel pump for that original tank you guys are using?
Love the S2S vlogs! Question about the rear bar mounts: why weld them to frame instead of bolt-in so you can remove the bed?

roll bar above cab?? Looks a little funky.
Looking good guys, looking good 👍 👌
Thank you!
What size wheel and tire? Looking good!!!
Now that you have these ginormous tyres on your truck, did you change the diff ratio or will it do 200mph at 8500rpm????
We swapped the axels for some built APE axels a few episodes back! When we ordered them from APE we made sure to let them know what tires we were running!
Look like you going backup cam
It's big enough to drive over anything behind you anyways!
This is a truck you don't want to take off road because good luck finding custom parts that break on you.
So the bed is now stuck on forever?
We debated whether to make it removable, we came up with some nice ways to do it and after talking about the options with the customer he decided to go this route. And for the record, how often does one take a bed off a truck? ALMOST NEVER EVER
is there a reason you guys didn't use a pwm fuel pump so you didn't need a return line?
