Great build…I wish I was 20 years younger and still had ambitions like you guys.
Don’t forget to change the fuel pump while it is easy to get to.
Copy you!
Great project! Love seeing these father/son builds. Keep up the good work. Can't believe how well the wheel base matches on those two vehicles.
Thanks for the comment and support! We were very surprised as well on how well the body sits on that frame. It looks so good!
@@joffreyotg are you using the brake booster and pedal from the Yukon ? Are you going use a stand alone harness or cut down wiring harness? I am doing the same thing here in Texas on my 1958 Apache. I was going to go code 504 but the Tahoe chassis seems a lot easier. My plans is to go on the tour as well
@@Thecargohustler heck yeah get yours running and we can do power tour together! So yes we are using the Tahoe brake booster and pedal. I’ll have videos on that soon, so far it’s an easy install. The wiring harness is still a pin on the board right now. Our thought is to just use the existing harness and fuse box under the hood. Then mate that to a painless style harness in the cab. Trust me videos are coming on that nightmare once we get to it.
@@joffreyotg thank you I look forward to new video
Damn, such a nice garage set up with the lift and ROOM!!! Awesome project, you are fortunate to have a father that you can do this with, very cool and all the best....
Thanks for watching! The lift is a super big help. Can’t wait to have one in my shop someday.
I’m in ! Good luck with the build and glad to see you and your Dad are working on it together. This build will be unforgettable memories for you both! Miss having my Pops around to do the same! ENJOY and keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the support!
No problem 👍
A while ago I watched Brent @ Halfassed Kustoms do a 65 for a guy that already had cab swapped. Might be some good input there. Just found your build n thought I'd watch along. Thanks for sharing 👍💯
Oh yeah we watched all of @halfassed customs build with that truck. Full of great info! Thanks for coming on the ride with us!
If you have the opportunity to rent a small sand blaster it will be the later "making of any finish you put on it". Get some masonite panels, 2'x3', to use as deflectors to keep away from "soft" parts- and yes, you will burn up a whole sheet doing this. Dad sounds to be the man for the line jobs- his work looked pretty good even after you struggled it out from under! For your "new bushings" at the bed rear- the hot rodder's favorite- league hockey pucks! They are about a half inch- 15mm, I believe, thick and drill and shape like wood, have few vices and are totally water proof. Before you are done you may wish you had kept the Yukon wire harness, if for no other reason than as a pattern- the firewall is falling within a few inches of where it was, the dash is going to be about the same distance away. Will Dad be running any shop cams- in toto, this will be a "low bucks, high outcome" sort of build that fairly recent gear heads could tackle! FR
PS; Happy New Year, to both of you setting out on this journey. I never got to know my father in that way- I think we both missed out on something, you don't need too! fr
Thanks for the comment! I cherish my dad as much as I can. We have always had a great relationship so I’m extremely lucky in all of that regard. As far as the harness we still have the Yukon. We have talked about pulling the dash harness out of the Yukon and plugging it back in and working with that. The wiring is still kinda a pin in the board we are working on. Thanks for the hockey puck idea!
@@joffreyotg I could be a soap box derby guy and still be delighted watching you and your dad navigate this bear! I can't take much credit for the hockey puck; I've been seeing them "pop up" in some strange places in all my years playing with gasoline monsters! FR
I did a 64 f100 on a 2004 2 wheel drive frame. I used to yukon bidy mounts and just moved them. It was a fun project. I still drive it.
Oh man I’d love to see pictures.
Great Job Joffrey and Dad on taken-us on a adventure of putting a 57 truck body on a 04 Yukon frame.
from the look of it, it should look great..
Thanks for the support!
You’ve encouraged me to video my build….56’ international fire truck cab on a 2000 Dodge 3500 chassis. I hoping it’s as fun as I have envisioned!
Heck yeah send me the link when you get your video up!
awesome father son project. cherish every minute you get to work with him.
Never take it for granted.
I can't wait to see more of these videos and hope you build more like it. I'm in Rome Georgia
Thanks for watching! I rode my Harley through Rome a couple weeks ago!
@@joffreyotg are you on Instagram? I need to send you a picture of mine.
i sure am. just search my name joffreymason. send me pictures!
Cool project, I like those E-Z Chassis parts. I'm doing something similar putting a 67-72 C10 body on an 04 Tahoe that looks just as crusty. I'm planning on using the Tahoe floor and firewall though so I can keep all the HVAC goodies. I also post videos of where I'm at but always cool to see how someone else is tackling something similar. Keep it up! Love these old trucks.
Thanks for watching! I'll check out some videos!
Looks like a fun build. My 57 is going on a 02 2500 Avalanche frame, one of these days. Good luck
Good luck!
It's looking great! Thank you so much for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, looking forward to this as it proceeds
Fingers crossed!
Loved this first video. You guys are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching!
I'm not going to lie that frame looks amazing for the older body 😍
It's going to be so cool. Thanks for watching!
This is a solid project for certain-thank you for sharing your father and son journey!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Can hardly wait to see the next one. Great work guys !!!
More to come!
I've always liked that body style(55-59?). The Tahoe looks like a perfect match. I thought modern trucks were wider than the older ones but looks like a great fit. Carry on and we'll keep watching.🇨🇦👍
That's a great way to upgrade the 57. I enjoyed the build so far and was impressed with the progress.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Joffrey,
This is exactly what I wanted to see. Trying to get my hands on a '48-'53 Chevy PU and put it on a newer frame. The concepts will be the same. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks for watching!
Nice fit! Looks good. That kit made it super nice.
It looks good right! we are stoked.
Nice project. I'm adapting a 59 Apache to my 2004 Tahoe chassis. I saved the front Floorplan and the firewall from the Tahoe to give me more leg and head room in the Apache cab. The floor and firewall of the 59 were chopped up from a previous conversion to a 2wd Trailblazer chassis.
Very cool! Id love to see it!
What a great video. Hope you keep posting more.
Trust me more videos are coming!
Ran across this and subbed just for this build!! Very interesting waiting on your next video to drop!!
Awesome, thank you!
Cool truck hope to see you on power tour
That’s the plan. Hopefully they announce dates soon.
Great idea, I cant wait to see it progress. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
This is going to look amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! I purchased the E Z Chassis kit to put my 55-59 cab and bed, onto a C10 / K10 chassis. I also found a K10 donner. Your video has provided me the motivation I need! Subscribed!
Heck yeah! Get on it and we can cruise together.
Love the way it looks.
We do too!
That was great! Well done. Looking forward to more videos when you get the chance.
(Those two looked like they were meant to go together all along)
Thanks for watching and the support!
Cool project, I love those styles, I'll be watching the series for sure. Merry Christmas
Thanks for watching!
Giving me ideas this is my wife's dream truck but I want to update the running gear so this is perfect
Do it! We can start a club!
That kit has be worth its weight in gold!!
really cool project ! thanks for sharing chassis swap info
Thanks for watching!
Great build project I love it Definitely 1 of my favorite body trucks and ive thought about a Tahoe or Yukon chassis but never knew they made a kit. I wish I could find one to put a 1985 K5 on a 2000 up Tahoe or Yukon chassis
Love this project. Great Progress. Looking forward to following along. We're wanting to do a 40-50s pickup project ourselves!
Thanks for watching along with us! Get your truck done so we can go cruising!
Awesome, I can't wait to see how it goes and what parts you can reuse and have to purchase!
27:37 Pretty cool. I plan to follow along with the further episodes.
Thanks for checking it out!
Following this for sure!
Thanks for watching.
Great job. 🎉 Happy belated birthday. 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Cool build. Fun build
Thanks for watching!
Thats cool man . Love your video
Thanks for watching!
Keep the videos coming my new friends and Merry Christmas !!! 🎄
Thanks for watching and merry Christmas!
I stumbled upon this video while trying to get started on Physics and Calculus for the Spring semester beginning Jan. 17th, 2023. Unfortunately, this project may prove to be an unwanted distraction. But hey, sacrifices must be made.
Haha time well spent in my book!
Awesome! Sub’d and watching y’all from Lilburn Ga.
Awesome! Thank you!
So much good information on this one. Thanks for sharing your (and your Dad's) hard work. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
@@joffreyotg You bet. I see the seat material is a little worn on the Yukon seats. They are easy to recover and getting really cheap on eBay. You can now do both in leather for under $200. (or stay with the cloth)
Oh yeah (Spoiler alert) we are getting different seats. (Video coming soon)!
Yes very cool look great well done
Thank you sir! Still a long way to go. Thanks for watching!
Such a cool build! Just subbed, I'll be waiting updates!
Thanks for watching! Hope to have updates soon!
Just Subbed your Channel, looking forward to the next video on this build it looks interesting
Thanks for the sub!
That's gonna be awesome.
thanks for watching!
Lookin Good!
thanks man!
Honestly it does sit higher but you now have 4 wheel drive! Looks awesome!
Yes it does!
Very enjoyable project you and your dad have going on here. Excited to see this continue for sure its gonna be a wonderful truck.
I'm the 992nd subscriber almost to 1K!
thanks for watching! So close to 1k! New video is coming soon I promise!
Great idea!
Thanks!
Fantastic project 😎👍
Hopefully you give that cab a nice shiny paint job. It deserves it 🏆
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
We have gone back and forth about paint or no paint. Still haven’t made our minds up yet. The first trip will prob be just like it is! Thanks for watching!
Awsome video ill sure watch where this goes
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, definitely deserves more views!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support!
@@joffreyotg I bumped a bunch of thumbs, your comments make it easier 🗿
Lost my Dad in 2021 and miss him immensely, but Happy and Thankful with every second my family and me had with him. Cherish every second you get with him!!! Looking forward to this build!!
Thanks for watching! I have been so blessed to still have my dad around. It’s been close a couple times and I thank my stars he’s stubborn enough to finish his jobs first lol. 100% do not take it for granted.
I have a great video of a 10 day motorcycle trip we did. Maybe I’ll post that if you guys want to see it.
@@joffreyotg Thanks for the reply. It is tough with him be gone, but I will see him again. I think the motorcycle trip video would be cool.
Cant wait for the next video
Thanks for watching!
fits like a glove.... Good deal
Thanks for watching!
I'm new to your channel here that is gonna be one cool ass build.
We are excited too! Thanks for watching.
Looks good
subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Looks good.
It does!
Hope you get more subs your video was awesome 👌 👏 👍
Thanks for the support!
Here before this chanel blows up
Man that would be nice. I'll take TH-cam money to finish my truck! thanks for watching!
@@joffreyotg 😂😂 I hope it works out great definitely gonna be coming back for more
I started a like project. I have a 57 GMC truck and was advised to transplant it onto a 1985 GMC truck. They do not match. The 57 frame is narrower than modern frames. Good luck. Thankfully I only paid $1,500 for the 1985 GMC. The only thing I kept was the 454BB.
I love the squares to much. Id have a hard time blowing apart a square body.
Wish the shop that started my project knew about the adapter mounts you used. I might have been able to my 1985 donor.
Id have a hard time going to a square body frame. I love the squares too much. These Tahoe / Yukons are a dime a dozen. plus FI and IFS
I have a 67 c10 on a 01 z71 Tahoe love it
nice where are you located? We should go cruise!
@@joffreyotg Houston Tx
wow that is cool.
Thanks for watching!
I just put my 53 Chevy body on a 2010 Chevy 3500. It's pretty sweet!
Nice let’s go cruise! We can start a club! Is your 3500 dually? That would be fun.
@@joffreyotg yes it's dually
Looks like this is going to be an interesting build. Definitely be looking for new videos. Is there a way to keep the dash, firewall, and front of the floor and fit the 57 onto that? Would take some cutting lol. That kit made it sit so perfect on that chassis. So crazy that that part of the build went so smooth. Good luck
So we did go down that road. We ultimately decided that our cab was pretty decent they way it was. Plus we wanted to keep the original dash. I’m sure you totally could cut out the floor and firewall of the Tahoe but it would be a lot of work to match the cab up I feel like.
I hadn't had even thought of that
Go forth now!
@@joffreyotg I'm searching. 64 chivvy long bed step side.... new ideas brewin. Thank you sen-sei 🙏
Those beds are from 55 to 66 with some variation and step side beds up to the mid 70's will fit with minor mods, we put a bed off a 67 on dads 59 for several years until we got a 56 bed in better shape,
Yeah I think we figured out we had a mid 60's bed currently. Its what we have and it fits so its going on!
Rad !
Rad!
Go buy a few metal electrical boxes at Home Depot and use the slugs to weld up all those firewall holes. Dipping them in muratic acid will remove the galvanizing.
That’s a great idea! I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
Like it
Hell yeah!
Looks great guys, How far from the bottom of the pinch welds under the door does the frame show under the body? Can you lower the body a couple inches with thinner cab mounts?
Happy new Year!!
So we tried to lower the cab a little with different mounts. Unfortunately it throws all the gaps off with the front clip. Also we ended up with the front of our cab tilted down in the front which made the bottom gap of the front fenders all weird. (You can see this in the video actually) We have since fixed that and it will be explained in the future video. Also if you lower the cab it makes the box height stick up higher than we would like. We are going for a Napco build anyway so we like the height of the setup. If you really wanted to slam it I'm not sure if this is the right frame for it.
@@joffreyotg No didn't want to slam it, I am just one of those guys that likes to see the frame tucked up in there if possible. Thanks
Hey - nice work so far. I'm interested to know where you got the 5.3 you swapped into the GMC prior to the build. I'm also in the Atlanta area (NW suburb) and have a 2005 GMC Yukon with 305K on the original engine and transmission. It's in good shape so I'm looking for a swap motor as the oil pressure idles at 20 and never get above 40. I did follow to see what happens with the build - good luck with it.
I believe dad just bought a long block from oriellys auto parts in Oklahoma. We used all our accessories and coil packs.
Time for a update Pt2
Yes indeed
I know! Im making my dad shoot some video currently. Hope to have some updates soon.
You could put the steering colum in thr 57
I have a 1964 3100 where do i can get the support to but on the cabinet in a chassis of a 2004 thaoe
Just found this project. I really like the use of the 2004 as a frame. I have a 55 2nd gen GMC and was looking into using the 04. One problem that seemed like a problem was the location of the tires under the 55 fenders. Was that a problem for you? Did you have to narrow the wheel width to get the newer frame under the 50's fenders?
As long as you have a 55 2nd gen or the "Task Force" build you should be fine. With our 57 we did not touch the wheel with from the stock Tahoe frame at all. Everything you see in our videos so far is a bone stock Yukon chassis. The only thing we did modify if you watch pt 2 is we did move the front brackets of our chassis kit forward to make room for the radiator.
I have just began the same Tahoe 57 Chevy swap. I purchased a 2001 Chevy Tahoe a year ago and just started working on it. I took off the body and I’m removing the wiring harness and plan on using a Psi harness. I have not started the easy chassis swap yet. If you have any more details on that please include I have looked all over for more details on that installation , and I am anxious to find more information. I will share my information as I proceed. How would we connect I would like to chat
If you send me your email I can send you the directions for the install from EZ. It shows a little better about the measurements
Hey Joffrey love the Yukon-57 marriage. I want to do a Yukon Denali -57. Got a question. Will the EZ conversion cab mound allow you to lower cab possibly two inches?
They way the EZ kit t is designed out of the box there is not really a way to lower it two inches. However... if you wanted to take matters into your own hands I'm sure you could. The hardest part would be getting the front clip to align correctly with the cab being lower. You would have to modify the front mount as well to drop the front clip two inches otherwise your gaps would be horrendous Also the box will end up being two inches higher on the back of the cab as well. If you really wanted a "lowered" like low low 57 you might want to look at a different frame. We were going for the Napco look so the height goes with our build.
Ok thanks for info. Really enjoyed your video looking forward to the next. Happy new year
Hmmm sounds intersting... I youst to have a 57 Chevy truck will follow your build but have to close the curtain to the driveway so my 03 Yukon cant see what I am watching on youtube...Thought i would not do that to him!!
I mean you could find another o3 Yukon I’m sure. They are around :)
Halfass customs just did this onto a 2500 frame,....similar
Oh yeah we watched his videos. Lots of good info!
All hail the small window! Hey is the wheelbase the same? No frame stretching eh?
Didn't touch the frame at all besides grinding the original body mounts off.
@@joffreyotg Thats a great fit, I will be watching.
Great job! What company made the conversion hardware?
ez chassies made the conversion kit.
@@joffreyotg Thanks, Ernie
If that Yukon has the bose system, I need the external amp. I think it is in the bottom of the console
I’m pretty sure it’s Bose. I can send you the amp when I get back to the truck. How much $ will you give me for it?
Sweet project! My daughter and I were talking about this a few weeks ago. Where in the North East are you? I may be interested in some of your leftovers
we are in Oklahoma actually. Let me know what your looking for.
I'm looking for door panels, rear console ac controls

Thanks for watching!
I could sure use that headliner and window controls

@@daddytube1212 I could send you the window controls. are you talking about the panel from the drivers door?
Thks for a great video it called easy chassis??? Please
Hi there! Yea it’s a company called ez chassis. Really nice guy running it.
@@joffreyotg thks
We're not, I'll be able to find one of those kids. I have a 2004 U coin that I would like to stick my 57 on. Just had a curiosity, how much was that kit
It was around $1500 I believe for the kit.
Jeffery, what type of paint did you paint the frame with?
So I used a rust oleum rust converter for the first couple passes. Then I did a spray truck bed liner over top of that.
@@joffreyotg Thanks.
I'm doing a 56 in same fashion. Love your videos
I've learned a lot about the project by watching
Nice, I've been looking for a video like this one. This is the same thing I have planned for my 59 fleetside. I noticed the Oklahoma tag. I'm from the Tulsa/Sapulpa area. We have a TH-cam and Instagram if you want to check out our projects. Okie hotrod garage. Look forward to seeing the next update.
Hey always nice to see another Okie! We are in lake tenkiller! Im going to check our your channel. Let's go cruise sometime!
@@joffreyotg I'm always down for a cruise.
Ctr mite have the correct bed
So what we have found out is we have an early 60s bed, which was on a different style frame from the 57 frame. The 60s bed was mounted wider than the 57 so that explains why the bed brackets didn’t line up on the back. Really all in all it’s not a big deal to us, we are just going to make it work with our bed.
So glad your not lowering it ! ! !
Trucks go up!
