- We’re running full steam ahead as the Stunt Double rolls back into the shop this week! First, Stacey reveals the wheels and tires that are going to accentuate that 6” lift, then He dives headlong into the drivetrain of this beast and comes up with a hot crate engine and a high-performance transmission to get the Stunt Double ready for the road. But that’s not all…. We also take some time out for a visit with the guys from American Powertrain and so much more. Check out the sparks flying in the garage on Gearz.

Grew up watching this guy, love how he still makes it sound like it’s all affordable lol.
Yup
Well....im not mortgaging the ole house so......back to vice grip garage.
Ha.. My guy.. None of this shit is factree
I still have VHS tapes from when I would record TRUCK'S every weekend.
My 1st pickup was a 1978 K10 Fleetside long bed I bought in 1980 with 12,500 miles on it.
Came with a never used Fisher 8' power angle plow and a 4" lift.
Living in the northeast the plow would've come in handy, but I couldn't find anyone who was looking for someone to do it.
So I sold the plow, bought me a set of 15"×10" aluminum wagon wheels and wrapped them in 14/36×15 ProTrac High Rollers and bolted in a 3" roll bar with 4 KC Daylighter off road lights.
Needless to say it spent alot of time in the mud, water and snow.
Grew up wearing diapers watching this guy he’s a LEGEND!!!
Hell yeah
Yup and his hair hasn't moved in 25 years
Staceys the man
You grew up wearing diapers? little to much sharing pal, most people are done with diapers way before they grow up. be careful with grown up diaper rash.
Hell yeah me too. getting out there and working on something.
Another project we never saw finished.
wild bill I really enjoyed the show when it would come on regularly. I know the network screwed it up for him. The main thing is now a days is these shows are just an infomercial. Stacey never finishes projects on the show, I mean they have been dragged out to death. The network he originated from are just as bad. Well at least truck tech and Detroit muscle finish projects on the show. It may take them two seasons.
It only took him about 18 years to finish Sargent rock
That is like any of these shows Bill, They show you how to install a water pump and it takes them an hour long show to go on and on about removing and installing bolts holding it together and the next time you see the car or truck it is in the back ground in a billion pieces until nine years later when they show it all finished off, and never explain things like HOW it was wired, or what problems they ran into welding a Ford Mustang II sub frame into a 1977 Pontiac or anything LIKE that!! In one show I used to watch they even said "in the next episode we will show you how to put in a rear half (sub frame) in a Chevy Nova and a four link suspension, and then NEVER SHOWED that episode and then still never aired it if they DID even record it!! Then about three years later they showed the car making runs down a track!!
and the episodes are scrumbled up all over the place
Stacey is the Best Host to ever be on Automotive Television.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Howard Lucca instablaster =)
@Zachary Mekhi thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Zachary Mekhi it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Howard Lucca you are welcome :)
I recently picked up an '86 K10, the junk motor runs good so I'll keep it going for a while, I had to replace all the brake lines and the hydraulic clutch setup, a few electronic issues that I straightened out, now I just got done doing a small lift. I do this because I like the truck, it's easy to work on and the price for parts are reasonable which is convenient for me since I'm not rich. This truck sat for 15 years, I flatbedded it to my house not running and with 4 flat tires, now it has a new lease on life. I forget which show it was but at the end of the show the host would say "Don't crush 'em, restore 'em", it could've been Stacy
My Ford Focus has a 5 speed manual, but I would love to put a 6 speed manual in it. The more gears ⚙️ I got, the better I like it 👌
used to watch Stacy years ago..glad to have stumbled on these..
This is just great for someone under 50 years old with a big ole bank account.
I’m 70 years old with an income that is fixed. I’m rebuilding a late 80’s 3/4 ton pick up that will never be pushed to hard other than working on the farm, It has a millennial anti-theft devise (5 speed) and as I can afford it it will have a rustollium enamel paint job.
All those crate engines and transmissions are great but there is always another way.
I'll definitely look into American Powertrain when I convert the camaro.
Love the stunt double truck.
Great video Stacey David !!
Cool you just got a new subscriber!
Keep up with all your videos it is worth all the time I can get .
Love that so many square bodies are featured on the show but these days it's just more of the same. Blow the truck apart and toss big bucks at all brand new components. That engine that went into this thing, by the time you top it off with the EFI, costs more than I have into my entire truck so far including the cost of the truck. I miss the good old days when the show was about doing the work to repair or refurbish components yourself to save some money here and there and avoid just ordering everything brand new out of a catalog.
Shane Singleton where do you think the money for the show comes from? Many of the parts are donated I imagine for the marketing.
@@kevinwheeler5595 Promotional parts being donated by manufacturers for advertising? Inconceivable! Seriously though, I realize that but it doesn't change my opinion on the matter. It's all turning into nothing but builds doing nothing more than using brand new parts. To me it amounts to nothing more than one big commercial. And that's not what these shows used to be about back in the day. Even Gearz wasn't always this bad about it.
Yeah you just have to find a steel crank and build a stroker motor have some fun smoke parts and mix and match and find junk everywhere that anyone will let you look and buy it cheap
@@Shane-Singleton These shows have NEVER been how you remember them. They have always been about selling products.
I wish I had the money to do this!!
Shit stacy doesn't even have the money this is all sponsored by hair products
Hell I did 😂 working at a grocery store
he is the best of all of them because he can do it all and has done it all....he farms-out very little and precious few asignments...oh, and hes kool alright, and what he loves is kool too....but im tellin ya...its his experience and universal versatilities that make Stace....the King.
...remember, bomber crew-chiefs these-days, stay home and dont go on the actual missions anymore, but there was a time when that crew-chief went on each combat-mission because he knew every inch of the aircraft, how it worked and how to fix-it when it didnt...he could even fly the mother....when the pilots were wounded or killed, and they did too....not even the waving to the women war-hero pilots themselves, could do or lay claim to all of that...the "chief" was easily the most important dude on the whole plane....thats Stacey David.
1000 amazing man great and thanks
Great channel
I built a 402 Big Block for my 85 1/2 Ton 4x4 with a Stage 3 TH350 (1500-1800 rpm stall) behind it. It was bored .030 over and ran 9.8:1 Compression. I had 33x12.5R15's on it and it would do a nice 4 wheel burnout, it was way too much for that truck. lol.
great video
Take a drink every time Stacey says 'obviously'.
Man im gettin pretty drunk pretty quick
Or makes a loud noise by throwing or slamming something down hard,followed by his goofy laugh.you'd drink so much in a 30 minute episode you'd have alcohol poisoning.
Good to watch for ideas, different route for me regarding cost.
Cool 😎 valve covers Stacey 😎
man stacey still builds the best most imaginative trucks
i dont think stacy way saying sbc are junk . some time people just want to up grade .may not used the write words. i have a great sbc in my 91 jacked up truck.wish i had his money. i under stand what all guy and galls are saying.have fun
All I want is one 87 C-10 Short bed truck you have an unlimited budget to buy anything obviously.
If I ever win the lottery.... this is what I’d do. All day everyday! Building cars/trucks...
Those wheels are gawdy AF.
Hi, another man's junk is another man's gold. . . . Crate engine nice ( fir lazy people ) I feel better doing it myself !!!!
Turboed LS !
Hey Stacy I am a fan as of late. Haven't had much time to see your earlier projects except for using the interweb. Anyway just curious if you have ever considered building what I call a true moonshine car with that heavy duty cam action that goes with it.
I just found a one owner 87 Chevy Caprice Two door rust free for $500. New project ya! Probably LS bound.
After watching the American Powertrain spot I was left wondering why they're putting an automatic in the Silverado. #savethestick #threepedals #makingdrivingfunagain
Does American Powertrain offer a 5 or 6 speed that would be able to bolt up to a specific T-case? have been looking at their drivetrains to mate behind some T-case such as a NP205 or possibly something that Advance Adapters has to offer in my project.
May I borrow your bank account!? Hot damn what a truck!
Love your videos. But not everyone has 30 grand to toss into these trucks.
all iknow I like how he calls it affordable and shit lol. I built a 388 (60 over 350 with a 400 crank) stroker SBC for a quarter of the price he spent on his crate motor, and beat it all my 388 produces the same numbers
Price for my engine build:3800
Price for his:10,000
I lost some respect for him there. for those of us that actually WORK for a living, all of the accessories, having functioned before, will function just fine after. he called everything junk. I would say the short block was perfectly fine as a builder. the heads? well, depends on how much power or what you want. those were torque heads, not horsepower. they did need to be worked though. the cam and headers would have picked up some big numbers, if the heads were massaged. sure, not a 450hp and 500t engine but it would have saved you about 5k most of us don't have. as for the carb? Holley for street or Edelbrock for off road. the EFI he was selling is about $2k.
Did you see the budget built 79 Ford Bronco (Das Bronco) they built on Trucks a few years back with Kevin and Ryan. That was a pretty good build that listed all the costs. Need to see more of that instead of high end builds.
ronamer1 yep! Id rather get a bigger cam than have shiny stuff! You can buy speed parts with that money! Not shiny stuff!
My personal favorite was the Cougar he built that was powered by the Jon Kaase built Boss big block.That car probably cost nearly 100,000 in parts alone.It's over 7,000 dollars just to purchase the Kaase heads,intake,etc(using your own short block).The whole engine package used in That car was probably 30,000 dollars,and what normal working class guy can afford something like that?He uses astronomically priced parts and speak about them as if they are affordable,making the vast majority of the projects he works on unattainable to most people.
BIG JERALD Losing Streaks stay in the junk yard where they belong lol
@17:37... Drop the upper blade guide so it's 1/8 inch above the part your cutting. You've got 2+ inches of exposed blade just waiting to cut off a finger or thumb.
Shit, I bought an old 79 F250 to fix up as a toy specifically to get away from all the modern complicated bullshit. I wanted a simple carbed engine and a simple C6 tranny that were both tough as nails without miles of wires and all that horse shit. It makes a cool looking build on a TV show but for my own personal use..even if I had that kind of money to play with...I'll take massaged stock.
I never knew a perfectly running SBC was totally junk. Kinda strange my 86 SBC runs great and makes plenty of power.
dean warren
All junk with the Quadra Jet carb
Maybe in a Caprice or a Camaro but it ain't turning 37s with any speed.
They do run perfectly well. it's not exactly a hot rod engine or anything like that but those little motors they last forever if you just take care of them.you can dress them up they're not exactly anything to look at but you can help it
@@suavehouse5150 if you know what you're doing with a quadrajet.it will outperform any Holly Edelbrock or anything else you can put together to make it run half ass. One man's trash is anothers treasure. to each their own we all learned with what we had available at the time
@@bmstylee it's all about your ratio
Hey stacey. Im a big fan of yours and I've been watching your show for a very very long time. I think it was trucks tv or something like that like back in the 90s i believe but dont quote me on that. Anyways i need your help with something. Im thinking about getting a 1994 suburban 2500 but want to do a leaf spring suspension in the front of it. I seen you tube videos of people doing it but they dont show how they did it or what truck everything came off of in the junk yard or where to buy them new. I cant find nothing on line about a conversion kit for it . Can you please help me out. Highly appreciated. Please keep your videos coming enjoy watching them thank you.
I love that engine, but I wouldn't use that for a daily driver unless gasoline prices drop to about $1/gallon
I would've elongated or sleeved the brace instead of them derpy spacers.
You could rebuild the old engine for $500 and replace maybe the alternator or you can get a $5000 crate engine with $2000 dollars worth of shiny garbage on the front
I was really surprised that he didn't replace the transfer case. That will be the first thing to fail in that drivetrain.
If only American power train, made 4wd transmission
Man i wish i had the money to do that
It's easy to do this when sponcers give u all the stuff for free
How did you go about getting 38's to fit with 6 inches of lift?I've got 6 inches on my 85 with stock steel wheels but can't fit 38s
Cut the fenders.
I got a set of 38s on an 85 square body with 6 inch lift and 3 inch body lift. I also had 38s in my 89 chevy with just a 8 inch lift
Which is cheaper the manual if you wanted to go that way or the auto.?
Very nice. Be great to have $40,000 - $50,000 to invest in my $1000 truck. And since I have 2 trucks make that $80,000 - $100,000. OH WAIT, ones a Dodge and the other a Ford so add another $10,000 - $15,000 to each!!
What did you do with the old wheele
What did you do to address the shifter when adding the lengthed 4L80E?? Using the stock shifter in the stock location on the frame is not an option.
Your so right all that could be in my project just go ahead and send me a nice big check Stacey or even better send me that chevy truck when ur done building it and my crippled but will be happy
I am thinking of doing more or less the same project. Any estimate on the total cost of the project?
Not from stacy he will only tell you the cost of sponsored products
The motor is around $5500 on the company website and add $2000 if you want that EFI. Lift $1500-2000+ depending on how many "issues" you fix from the lift episode. Wheels and tires probably $3500+/- depending on your choice of wheel and tire package. Trans $1500 on monster transmission's website add about $350 for a converter and $75 for custom paint.. Plus interior and body work and paint and probably new wiring. Plus you need a vehicle and the skill to do the work which is the bigger issue. Now it's nothing the average guy can't do himself with time and some ca-shish. So over $20k easy and probably over $30k. I kinda would like to do something similar so I played around a bit with numbers.
I like Joseph's jeep. My delima is I want my daughter to have a big vehicle. But not one with alot of room....
Why?
I dont want to many people riding at once. My first vehicle was a van. And it was just a big party.
@@ekscalybur i want to start her off with a bigger vehicle.
How about a Cummins diesel conversion?
I want to see if do chevy S10 1995 & 2000 Blazes and pickup with 4.3 engine
Of all people I thought you'd never put 20's on a classic 😭 why not 16.5's and cepecks
Hell why paint the truck just leave it rough go dragging through the trees
You act like he put low pros on it, 16.5’s are dead remember it’s a MODERN version
those tires are going to rub so bad.
Every time he says spend a few more bucks he’s talking the $5-8000 range 🤔 must be nice to think about $5000 as just a few more bucks lol
The fall guy truck did not have modern parts, Like the ones on here.. It also did not have getto rims, like the ones on here.
Ghetto is right!
Nobody's building a truck like that and putting 15's on it.
holy sales pitch batman! most people can't afford all that BS!! Must be nice to live in a world where money grows on trees!
Should of gone nv4500
While I love a 4 or 5 speed, it’s a dying art. Pretty sure you can no longer even buy a new car of any kind with a stick 😩
just my opinion but to me LS swaps are a fad, a built original style will always be cool in a vintage truck. example: lets say in the 90's you swap in an LT1 at that time it was cool, now it is not worth much more than a boat anchor. An LS swap will only be cool for 10 years if that till the next thing comes out. On the other hand a built oldschool engine fits the truck like the original, looks right, will never go out of style, and works just fine.
port nut I’ve seen 1 million miles SBC GEN 1’s
The only reason they don’t make it is becuase they don’t have a computer screaming oil change.
I like square bodies down not up
w s l I like trucks that are trucks. Not cars.
well you could just step up and buy...
Not a daily driver in my opinion. A daily driver should, by definition, be easy to maintain with stock parts over-the-counter from any local auto store. This truck is nice, but so after-market, it will make it very difficult for the next owner to maintain for daily driving purposes. If you have to special order custom parts, the truck will be down for several days at a time. Not good.
Ha this sniper efi will run with the LS all day long, that’s been proven wrong over the yrs
LS or rather lq4 swap would have been a lot cheaper. Look around and a well worn 200k truck 6.0/4l80 could possibly be had for not much more than the holley efi alone.
DON'T LIKE THE VIDEOS??? DON'T WATCH THEM............HATERS!!!
Big rims are lame. A nice set of 16"-17"rims
WHy do they throw such expensive shit on the engine. Noone is gonna spend that kinda coin on a squarebody and jump it
My daughter knew how to drive a stick when she was 16 yrs old! A man is not a man if he cant drive a stick shift! My God thats sad!
For a weekend toy a manual is fun. To drive everyday in bumper to bumper traffic not so much.
Gene Simmons works on trucks?
Lotta people here whinin about the cost of the parts. Whole point behind these shows is to build cool shit for you to get ideas from, not build exact replicas of. (Unless you want to, and actually have the budget.) Reuse parts if you have to, clean em up and paint em to look new with a rattle can. Go with building your own engine instead of a crate one. Do whatever you want / need to fit your budget and skills, but shut the fuck up. Again, it's a show to take ideas from, not bitch about your poor life choices leavin you too broke to build whatever.
Wow, nice infomercial... just think that could be in your truck. Oh man I wish I knew my 1980 k20 was junk before I willingly dug into it because it's fun. What will I ever do with with all that junk now? 🖕
Ditch those god awful wheels and tires!! Colt will kick your ass for using those!
*builds $7000 engine*
tHiS EnGiNe Is AfFoRdAbLe
*stares at my 388 Stroker that’s producing the same horsepower and torque numbers I built from a 1978 3970010 350 4 bolt main block I just spent $3800*
Sure, you’re a great builder but a crap salesmen.
It would be cheaper to buy a new truck
That's way too much money for the average person to do this kind of project
stacey davids dysphoria syndrome is otc at this point...
Why not fuel injection that's ridiculous
Hate the wheels
Not a huge fan of the chrome. Looks very dated.
Sorry to burst your bubbles Guys. But Stacey David's is there for one reason. Money! He makes it, if you watch his ads. The hardware he offers like the show, you can take it or leave it. For me he'd be a lot easier to watch, if he dropped the personal canned laughter and gave his grandmother back her hair do. Stacy; you look like a real bloody Wanker! Give the hot rod industry a break and get a man's haircut Mate!
How about listing prices you mullet wearing freak.
blue print engines????????????????????? please.
Remember, Balanced and Blueprinted.
@@wsfwsf1497 He is talking about a company called blue print engines. They are a joke.
Terrible rim/tire - combo
