Dad's doing a fine job. You're doing a good job of cutting together his video. Keep them coming.
Thanks for watching.
Good job Dad. You're a natural for this TH-cam stuff. Lots of great ideas too. Thanks for sharing your skills.👍👍❤
He’s a mad man. You haven’t seen anything yet.
Dad is killin it. Go Dad!
He's a pretty rad dude right? I have to give him a lot of credit for doing the filming while I'm gone. Its a new world for him.
Never ever underestimate the ingenuity, problem solving skills and fabrication ability of gray haired folks. They don't view difficult challenges as a problem to fight through but an enjoyable exercise to play with.
Enjoying this very much.
If you like that trust me there is more to come. He’s a mad man!
Your dad is doing a bang up job!!
He's a pretty good guy that one.
ol man done just fine. easy to understand, no frills, just the facts maam
We really wanted to keep it simple and not splashy. Its about the build and the info not all the BS. Keep wrenching!
Your dad is a genius 👏.
I understood every detail of what he was going to do . For sure, that pick up will be amazing, oldschool with new age comfort . Can't wait . Good luck, guys 👍
Oh yeah! He’s about as old school as it gets. He amazes me with his ability to myguiver stuff together. I try and steal as much of that as I can.
Dad did great!!
He’s pretty rad isn’t he?
Love your build. Keep at it man, you’ll get it!!!
Thanks for watching!
Well, Dad, it looks like you have that trick seat critter figured- kudos, I haven't seen or even heard of one of those "JC Whitney" universal kits in years- great call! Title it with the paper on the '57 and you should have no trouble with no seat belts. I would install a lap belt set, at a minimum- your choice as head mechanic! And take no guff from that Joffrey fella- if you pay for the paint, it's your decision what color it is- an ancient hot rodding tradition when I was bending wrenches! I'm here till this one rolls sweetly down the street. Much to be said for using a late model and much newer complete chassis under the old girl! FR
Dad you're are on point with your continuation of the project . I would partner up with you anytime. Your mechanical abilities I compliment . great job Dad !!
Thanks for the message! My dad doesn't really answer stuff in here but he does read them I'm sure. I know I lucked out having him help me put this truck together. he's a good guy to have around! If your in Oklahoma stop in and you can help us do something on it!
Great stuff guys, subscribed! Cheers, Doug (57 283 small window)
Thanks for the sub. We really appreciate it! Lets roll together once we get ours moving!
🙌
How are you going to address the auto 4wd that came with Yukon?
We are going to make a small hidden dash behind the glove box. We are going to mount the 4x4 switch and radio in there to hid them. We are keeping the same Tcm and ecm so we should just have to wire it in.
You may want to rethink putting anything in glove box. I believe your first video you showed aftermarket vintage air/heat unit. If it’s like mine you will not have room behind glove box. You actually will loose your glove box.
Looking great.
I used to have a 55 Chevy BelAir and in the steering wheel center, I had a rotary phone guts as a horn button. When you dialed the rotary it would honk what ever number you dialed. So every time the contact, made contact, it would honk.
Haha that’s pretty fun.
Just gave me an idea for my 2003 Denali LS Donor. Might just hack that body off the frame & put a nice old school short bed on it instead. Great video!
Do it! Send us pictures of your build!
Wow. Dad is on it! I like the bench seat too! A lot of “work” to make it full functional- but I think It truly will payoff in the end. That kind of detail is what separates a custom build - rather then just a cut & chop build.
I think it's going to be a great convo peice once it's done. It will be nice!
I have to say I'm really enjoying this build with you both, it reminds me of my 53 chevy build. Thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
Love this build. In regards to the power seat controls, my 55 Thunderbird power seat switches are in the drivers door panel. Mounted about half way up from the bottom. Might be easier than trying to mount the tahoe switch to the non power seat.
Oh that's interesting. Maybe we will take a look at that.
Great video, down to earth and informative. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for watching!
Great idea to extend the seat frame.
I’ve never seen it done. But it made sense to us. Hopefully that motor can handle it (I think it will be fine)
Your dad has devised a really cool way to fix the seat issue. Doing anything like this, teaches a LOT of fab work. There ARE NO RULES anybody gets to follow. Anybody thats built any vehicle before can attest to doing exactly what hes done. If it dont fit, make it fit. Adjustments are the norm. Yeah, hes shaky on videography but I aint worried about the "looks." He's well informed and he just showed me a ton of stuff I never thought of. Thats the fun of watching these types of content. Anybody can make a before amd after type of video. The whole thing is help somebody get past their hurdles. Its the seeing it happen that helps others understand its possible. A little thoughy happens to go a LOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG way. When you come across something, somebody knows how to fix it. If its out of your box, ask.
Thanks for the great message! Im glad you're enjoying the videos. We talked early on about showing the failures along the way as well as the successes. I agree that's I'ts an important part of the process. Appreciate you guys!
I wish you guys were closer to Oregon I’d love to help out! I work at a GM dealer and have TONS of part’s laying around from over the years and owning multiple Tahoes and Yukons. Rear diff cover, axle seals, park brake shoes. Overhauled front differential, almost all the engine seals.
Well it's always nice to know where parts are!
Dad did great, thanks. I had no idea speedo cable could handle any torque.
Ha turns out it won't. Watch video 3 to see what we did.
Very informative, Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Goin too be a nice 56 man last power set car I done I put the seat control switch in the door panel worked great 👍 👍 Good job on what you got done
You guys are doing great I love this project
As to the seat l thought a 60 40 split seat would work better as only the driverside seat is powered .
Im thinking that it going to be a lot pressure on the works moving 2 or more people on that seat setup.
Just a thought
Great video great project can't wait to see more.
Well, we shall find out together!
@@joffreyotg l hope you don't think lm criticizing your work I'm 61 years old been doing this since I was 15 let me tell you you are doing just fine I was just making an observation from where I've been before I hope I hope it does work out for you I just like the 60/40 seat because you know the driver seat moves to different driver and leaves it off a short driver don't make it hard on a taller person riding with them when you have the 60/40 seat set up good luck with it I'm enjoying the build looking forward to seeing where you're going with it
No i didn't feel criticized. ALL opinions are great information in my book. i agree a 60/40 would have been easier. We just ended up with the fixed bench so we are making it work. thanks for the input!
@@joffreyotg And if the wife drives it and your with her its your knees banging against that metal dash
lucky for me my wife is taller than me lol
I was wondering about the fender to wheel fitment but you got it handled. Looks like a neat setup for the power seat, hopefully the long cable doesn't flex too much. Keep up the work!
Fingers crossed!
We've got a 56 short bed, and this is on the list of how we want to do it.
Do it so we can cruise! We can start an army of old new trucks!
This is by far the coolest thing I've seen on TH-cam in a long time. I can't wait to see your moms reaction the first time she drives it. She might take it back from you.
thanks for watching! This truck start out originally with my buying the parts about a year ago. Since then my dad has stolen it from me (which is perfectly fine) It would not surprise me though when my mom steals it from him when it's done lol.
Looking good guys !!!!!!! Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!
Thanks! You too!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I noticed the gap between the front clip and the cab in the last video, and almost suggested moving the cab forward. In the video, with the gap, the wheels looked pretty close to center. I immediately remembered the bed being close to the cab. Good for looks, but, when I saw that, and then later, the cab gap, I knew that if it were me, I would move the cab forward, and let the gap be between the bed and cab. I say that because I had an old ugly truck I pieced together from three different trucks, and had an issue with the bed/cab. This was no serious rock crawler by any means, and I never got overly carried away trying to pretend that it was. That said, I still did occasionally twist 'er up a little bit, and I had the bed flex and get into the cab. Granted, it was all square body stuff, and the front bed corners kind of "wrap" to the cab, but, I thought I had plenty of a gap, but another inch or so would have easily gave me clearance. Unless you just really can't live with it, I'd leave the gap between the cab and bed, just in case you get a little more carried away than planed if you do take it off road... Well, WHEN, because we know you're going to take it out to play. 😆
After we stopped rolling we were looking at the gaps and we really came to the same conclusions. That’s why we decided to bite the bullet and move the brackets. It really helped a lot of issues we were going to have with radiator clearance as well. Overall it was the right choice. Next time say something though! We need all the help we can get! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Happy new year too 2023 ....
Happy new year!
I did that with a 56 I made the cab 6 inches longer it looks chopped but I'm 6.5 and fit fine
Oh wow that must have been a build. Id love to see that.
Looks like a good channel, I subscribed, and going to check out more of the videos, I also have a 55 & 53 Chevy Trucks, catch you later
Thanks for the sub!
Might have been easier to run two drivers seat brackets. One on the passenger and one on the driver. Run power to one switch on the dash. Hide the fact that the seat is powered. Make people look twice.
👍great job.. just subbed
Thanks for the sub!
I think the main thing I find myself missing in this project is the loss of a manual transmission.
Those motors might burn out moving a seat that is more than 2x the size they were originally designed for.
The 88-98 seat is a bit smaller, but the motor can move a 300 lb guy
Well we talked about going manual. But everything is already installed as it sits. We have plenty of manual trucks and cars so we can row gears if we want to. So why change what already works in the chassis. Plus my mom will end up driving this truck a bit seeing as we stole her car. So we left it easy for her as well.
Good information. Don't know if you can use the power seat control off a 1988-1993 truck. It mounted on the front of the seat bottom.
I have a bench seat out of my 58 3100 for sale. red leather in pretty good shape.
Well that's always good to know. I think we are set for now but maybe somebody else in here might need it.
I wonder if moving the cab mount forward is going to mess with the fenders and core support, or if you took that into account and fixed it somehow.
So moving the cab forward actually helped us in many ways. We had enough slop in the front bracket where we didn’t have to modify that. However by moving the cab the big thing we fixed was to make room for the radiator we are going to use. It now has clearance from the stock fan. It was really really tight before we moved everything about 1-1/2 it also makes the front tire sit in the center of the wheel well.
My echo weed eater has the same square cable inside the shaft
Are you using said weed eater right now? Maybe send us the cable? lol
Yes I had to replace it because it broke
Here’s a link that we are doing our 57truck on a Tahoe frame.

Hey that’s a good looking project! Looks really familiar! Should we race to see who can get running and driving first?!
@@joffreyotg
I love a good challenge let’s go. The race is on.
Bring it on! Are you doing power tour this year?
@@joffreyotg Power Tour?
@@russellmcconahay7297 hot rod power tour? We are planning on taking our truck on it.
My question is why didn't you just use a pair of S-10 seats and put a center console in the truck? As some S-10 and S-10 Blazer's used independent seats that would be similar to the regular bench seat in thickness.
So we went down that road. We both decided we wanted a bench seat after the Tahoe seats didn’t work. I was fine with just manual controls but my dad went down the road of making them power. I’m glad he is cause it will be interesting.
Good ticher good way to fix
