Having watched content from the big TH-camrs such as half ass customs, puddin’s fab shop etc, your video is just as interesting and entertaining! Well done and keep up the good work. Also, from experience, if you need to use your office chair a lot, get yourself a set of rubber wheels with bearings (with the wheels from inline skates). They make moving around so much easier and quieter!
Thanks! I’ll have to look into that
I would put a new fuel pump in it, while you have access to it. Awesome project!
Good idea!
I left school at 14 I knew it all by then !! lol great video thank you
For a first video i think you did an excellent job. You shared a lot of information with us on just what needs to be done and thank you for doing that. Best of luck to you on your channel.
Going to look into them EZ frame kits looks really good

Love this build, best of both worlds. Old iron with modern convenience and power. I'm hooked on your channel already. Also skipping through the mundane tasks makes for a better video to me. You do that, and I like that. Good job on your 57 swap.
Thank you hopefully you’ll get to see it all come together
Awesome truck, looks tough! And that swap kit saves a lot of fab work, I like it! Best of luck with your channel and the new (old) truck. 👍
Thank you. Can’t wait to drive it.
Great video and project and I hope to copy what your'e doing.
I’ve always been overwhelmed, but as I jumped into it and just take it one step at a time it’s coming together
Really enjoyed the video , great progress on the 57
This is amazing! My daughter is an Orthotics patient of yours and my wife came home telling me about this! We are the Satterfields. Ill catch up on the other videos soon and i look forward to more! One thing that might help with the tire clearance in the back is using springs from a “Z71” tahoe if the Tahoe you used wasn’t a Z71. They are 2” taller than the normal tahoes. But this will obviously make it sit a little taller in the back. You would probably want a leveling/small lift kit in the front to get it to sit level again if it lifts it too much in the back if you tried it this way!
Great idea. Thanks for your input.
Super cool . Dont give up on her yet . I'll be glad to watch your channel. God bless . Have a great day
Thank you the next video was working on the cab and getting it ready for paint
My favorite projects are the old body on the newer model sub frame power train! Pls never say you're sorry for an injury. Wobble all ya like brother it's the work not the webble. Your good in my book!
Thank you good to hear that
Looks kickass sir ,well done I had a 58 Apache back in high school had a 6.6 turbo trans am motor an tranny with disc brake rear3:73s I miss that badass truck I took a curve too fast around 85mph flipped it 7r9times idk lucky I wasn't killed me an a buddy a drunk man in van stopped a was amazed we were alive got a chain flipped it back on wheels an it cranked right up an I drove it home , my dad beat my ass , I picked up more wemen in that truck in school Damit ,ol Chevy never die, they JUST haulass ,haul sum ass
Lots of memories. My first Chevy was a 63. I still remember the day I crawled into the cab pull the choke, and it fired. I was excited to hear the engine run, the old straight, six. I broke a horse for a guy in trade for the truck. I was 15 and I loved every minute of that experience.
It was good meeting you at the Chevron last night, I’m the 72 Blazer guy. Loved video #1, excited to watch the rest! -Aaron Ludwig
stuff of dreams this is what a proper restoration should look like.
Thank you.
Love the 57 truck. This looks awesome
Thank you I am excited to have waited for this day to have everything put together to be able to do it.
This has filled my need for builds today, thank you. I look forward to more.
Excited. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and other days I don’t have the parts necessary, but I will keep it moving.
I'm a new subscriber I'd like to see more of this project best wishes from Columbus Ohio USA 👍
I will try to keep the camera rolling.
Love the stance, love the build.
Thank you I hope it accepts 33s. I’m excited to both those on and take it for a test run and see how it fits.
Bless Nice garage to work in. That’s a good start.
Yes, I feel very blessed. I’ve had the truck for a long time and had no place to work until just lately. We just finish that shop together with my boys.
Great job! I'll be working on a 65 Power Town Wagon soon and you are a great help!
Awesome video thanks for taking the time to show all the little details in the process, I will be doing the same type of swap but with a 59 Apache with a a 2001 chevy 2500 4x4 chassis, thanks again.
Thank you sir you saved me a lot of fabrication I appreciate you
You bet ya. Share with me where you are at in the process. Keep me informed.
oh man ,its going to look awesome.and run just as good!!!love it!!!! your a lucky guy!!!
Thank you. It is finally conning together.
Best way to do an old truck!
We agree!
Nice project. Great work.
Best of luck with it.
Thanks!
We’ll done! Looks great! I just just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the video. I hope you make more. For rust perfection I use Duplicolor truck bed coating . You can apply it with a brush or a gun . Dirt and mud doesn’t stick to it like undercoating. It also has a nice finish to it. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks, Wyo Les
Go 307. That is where my roots are from.
Nice fab work. Body looks nice and straight on there.
Thanks
You are amazing! I will have to come and see it when I get home.
I want to come take you for a drive this summer i hope...
Excellent video and progress, good luck with finishing it off
I need it. I kind of started chasing some squirrels check out the latest video.
Nice project, look foward to the next video. It's going to be a fantastic daily. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍
I am really looking forward to driving it. I love the way the Tahoe drives. Hopefully the truck is heavy enough to drive the same.
wow I never knew such a kit existed. Oh and I think your shop chair rocks!
Yes, when I found this kit it helped me jump into this project
Love the name Crazylegs. Love the truck even more, great video.
One of my niece and nephews named me that years ago when they seen me trying to push a truck out of the snow
Nice video, keep it going.
Thank you. Hopefully I can make the time to get this project done and not let it drag on too long.
Doing the lords work. I tried to get the folks at ez chassis swap to make a channel showing full tutorials on all their options. I have a 56 that I've been procrastinating on over this issue.
I will continue to document how it goes and how things turn out. Hopefully this will be helpful for anyone that comes after.
great first video, looking forward to more.
And already 584 subscribers 🤔...Good video though.
Thank you can’t wait to drive it
Wow! That looks great!
Thank you I hope to you start working on paint here inside the cab this next week and hopefully get a video out by Sunday if things go well.
Nice my friend great job. God bless you
New sub, great project, restomodding the old 57, I love it! That chassis and running gear is in great condition. The fact that you are planning on doing all the work. and, keeping it as budget friendly as possible, has my attention. All my best.
Thank you for coming along for the ride. Hope we can make it interesting and enjoyable as well as informative. This is our first TH-cam video ever and we’re having fun with it and I am a little more motivated to do my truck because I got a bunch of guys watching me do it and encouraging me along so it’s pretty awesome.
Looks good on the 33s.
I’ll bolt them on and give it a trial run to see if it’s going to accept the 33’s without any interference?
Such a cool build. I saw 57 a few days ago at the grocery store. I had to take a few pics. It was a 2wd tastefully lowered with rally wheels. I had to tear myself away from it and get into my 2001 chevy 🤣👍
They do look good lowered. I feel like everybody put a crazy horsepower, and slams them to the ground so I wanted to do something different.
Wow that’s going to be sweet, love the 57 Chevy trucks or the GMC’s. Will watch for the next one love old school trucks this is going to be super cool
Thanks 👍
That’s a great kit and with a few adjustments it looks great and worth it time saving good choice Tahoe ❤🎉😅
It really is!
Very good work, the chassis swap work, the video work and the editing. Looks like a pretty good kit, and you are really going to enjoy the modern amenities with the new chassis and engine once you get it all hooked up. Keep up the great work and God bless.
Thank you we are going to keep pounding on it
My editor is my wonderful 15year-old daughter
@@russellmcconahay7297 Kids nowadays are pretty savvy around video and electronics compared to us elders.
Very Cool project, Russel. Keep up the professional job you are doing.
Thank you
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Great job. Keep going
Thank you we’re gonna get it ready
Looks very good.
Thank you hope to be starting the paint on the cab soon
clear concise explanations, subscribed
Thanks, I hope to get another video out soon
Cool build, congratulations,
Thank you I can’t wait to drive it
That’s very cool. You have my attention! Subscribed.
Should have one more video coming out every week if I can get into the shop and work
Beauty truck!
Thank you I’m excited to drive it and use it.
Looking cool, buddy!!
Thank you!
Great vid, like everyone else is saying looking forward to the rest of the series.
I have one. We’re gonna try to get out today on the little bit of progress that we have made.
Great Project and Video! The detailed explanations on your work is outstanding. I’m sure your channel will grow!!
EZ should have donated your kit for all the detailed installation video.
Thank you we’re all new at this. Hopefully we can do the truck project and get the video out so people can see it.
@@russellmcconahay7297 how you tittle it after the swap for DOT?
Hi there you did a great video here that 57 looks great on that frame very well done thank you look forward to more great video's
So this is number three number for should come out Saturday afternoon
Thank you for your encouragement some days I need it
Amazing!
COOLEST broken window EVER !!!!!!
crazy legs customs has a better ring to imo, but creations makes more sense i get it. Nice project and land.
Thanks for the suggestion who knows where they sell end up. This is just to start up me trying to show what I’m doing
Really liked the video, for the rear end they do make axle offset plates. You can slightly move the axle. Should be able to close up the bed gap a bit.
Where do I find that?
Nice thanks for info I am getting reddy to Doo a 55 big window I think they called them 3100..again thank you ...
Thanks Russell this is interesting
I will try to get the rest out as I get it put together
Cool build man!!!!
Thank you can’t wait to drive it.
That truck looks good
Thank you. What is your opinion? Should I leave the stepside cut out on the driver side or should I put on a smooth fender?
This looks like a lot of fun. I've considered this on a few vehicles. Just to many projects and only one old man. I'll check out e-z chassisswaps and mebey be motivated. Great job on the video. Thank you. Sure is a honey of a truck.
Thank you. This old man is kind of tired too. I haven’t done much on it lately.
Looking forward to more content from your channel
If I didn’t have to work a day job, I could get a lot done in the shop and get it out there to you but that’s life.
I have a Tahoe I bought for a donor. I want to put an 88 k5 on it. I want to use floor and firewall on the Tahoe and make the blazer a dependable cruiser for my daughter
I’ve seen that done with a 72 Chevy on a Tahoe let my know I might be able to get you in contact with a guy if you’re interested
Love the channel keep it up
Thank you I wish I didn’t have a day job. I would enjoy working in my shop all day.
Looks great!
Hopefully it looks a lot better when we’re done.
Great content!
Hopefully will be adding more details as we go along
ill subscribe for ya. good luck on the channel and maybe you'll go viral! haha
I enjoy the build, hopefully to share some information that someone else can use.
I have a Tahoe for a donor I will put an 88 k5 blazer.
very cool my friend ,
Thank you!
Very cool 😎
Thanks for coming along for the journey. Hope I can keep it interesting.
Looking forward to this project. I would like to try it
Jump in! One step at a time.
I am started this swap with my 66 and am just starting to take stuff off the tahoe, was interested to see how that went, but then BAM the body was off the tahoe 😂. Looks like it will be a great build!
Yes, I was surprised how it came off in a couple nights work. It was a clean separation. Where are you on your build? Keep me informed.
@@russellmcconahay7297 I currently have the entire front end off, just about ready to undo body mounts, but i dont have a lift so still trying to see how i am going to do it, may have to take off all doors and hatch and cut into smaller pieces.
Ill have a video up on my other channel once i get to the editing
Good luck with the channel
Subbed and 👍
Well done Russell , Stick with it you will get there , If this is your first vid you did good
Yeah, this is our first build. I think it’s third video all together. Thanks for the encouragement.
Nice video
Thank you I was a little nervous to put it out there. It was my first.
Looooooking gooood man 😆
Thank you I wish I had more time to work on it but life carries on
This is crazy, we literally just shook hands on a Tahoe donor for my 55 task force. Been looking at the EZs for a long time and was going to do a k10 but those are few and expensive atm. Great work on the video too!
Thank you for following us. We’re brand new at this TH-cam thing. I just wanted to document what we are doing because I couldn’t find much information on this. We will be going step by step through the whole process. I just installed the steering column and the master cylinder with the necessary modifications. I will be working on vintage air and a new aluminum radiator modified to fit down in the hole. Talk to me if you have questions, and I will give you as many details as I can. I love doing this kind of work and sharing it with people.
@@russellmcconahay7297 just now getting my form submitted for the kit. Had the opportunity to speak with Ed too, seems like great people. I got to rewatch your first few and check out the wiring situation. I required my entire 55 with a universal kit but it wasn’t set up for LS I don’t believe. Make sure you get Affiliate links going for Amazon and list the parts. Great way for residual revenue.
Subscribed! Very nice! I have a 55 GMC, 1987 K10, and Ed's E Z Chassis kit. Im dragging my feet, attempting to locate a CHEVY cab, in better shape than the GMC cab that I currently have.. I wish someone would document videos , like your doing here, using a C10/K10 and Ed's E Z Chassis kit. As far as I know, no one has used the E Z kit on a C10/K10 chassis, and downloaded videos on youtube. So I will be watching your progress closely. Keep up the great job!
I’ll try to document what I’m doing as best I can.
@@russellmcconahay7297 Your doing great! Keep it up!
Cool build I'm doing a body swap putting a 89 Chevy cavalier wagon body on a 2 door s10 blazer 4x4 frame
Sounds fun I would like to see pics!
Great video sir .I was going to do this to my 1967 c 10 stepside but I chickend
Ed with E-Z Swap has a kit to do the C10.
Awesome
Thank you
Humble Man.
I try to be.
Cool I've done did lol pic by my name. Put on 84 CHEVY shortwide 4X4.
Cool
I just subscribed sir to get you on your way. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Trying to get another one out today with some of the progress that we made last week
That looks great! Funny thing is I have access to an 02' Tahoe and I was looking at a 5 window with an 8' bed ( I believe it is a 52'). I just went over to EZ's site and see they use a S-10 for the earlier style pickups, BUT they do have an 8' version. This type of swap is what I too would like to do before I die also. I have CHF and am 64. I found an Avion slide in camper that looks like an Alaskan Camper (aerodynamic aluminum) and is the reason for needing an 8' bed. Was trying for the "old school" early camper setup with modern drivetrain efficiency. Just sub'd and will be checking back.
Go for it.! What is CHF by the way?
@@russellmcconahay7297 Russell it is "congestive heart failure". It has been coming on for some time, so subtle I didn't realize it was happening. But it has sort of "stabilized", still dying from it, but not as quickly they say as I was. So other than the things I need to get done, there are a couple I'd like to get done. I am about the watch the Part 2 of your build.
Really, really cool truck. Hopefully you don't change the stance too much, maybe up just a little. I think it would look good with old Goodyear sure grips or something like that and stock looking wheels and hubcaps.
Check out my latest video where we found another 57 and we got it all running. It’s all original.
Its cool
Thank you. We have a lot of work to get it done through Pete but I think I’ll get it. Check out the latest video on a 57 that I found in Wyoming barn
A beautiful marriage indeed...
I like the image I feel the same way about my marriage with my beautiful wife. She’s a beauty on the wheels together we roll.
Ok so the short and the long… I’m taking a 58 4dr belair I’m chopping the back doors and roof making a belaircamino out of it and I’m looking to jack it up on 33’s what frame would you suggest my friend. This is gonna be a one of one romper stomper classic custom mudding nightmare.
Welcome to youtube from another crazy leg'd gear head(incomplete quad)
Help me understand your a partial quadriplegic
@@russellmcconahay7297 yeah, I broke my neck 20 years ago but regained quite a bit of movement below the injury level, I use a manual chair to get around but I can stand but no control of balance muscles, my hands don't work great but I figure out methods for using different tools
Hey thanks for the videos. What are you doing about the transfer case harness?
I’m working with a guy I found them online called Swap time and he’s supposedly trying to get something ready for that conversion
Nice build. I'm thinking of doing the same build, only 2WD. Already have the Tahoe. Now I'm looking for a nice 55 body. Is the kit listed on ez's website? I didn't see it.
Yeah call and talk to Ed he’ll get you set up, I think it is on their website though
I really like where you are going with this and thank you for sharing the details of the EZ mounts and the variations you had to make. Question for ya, Will you be able to keep this truck titled as a 57 or will you have to use a new VIN, since the frame is not matching? I have a newer truck with a good frame and running gear but the body is rusted out junk. I was thinking of doing something like this but wasn't sure how I would have to "register" it???
That’s a good question I was hoping to register it as an antique because it has no smog control, and will not pass emissions
depends on your state here in ohio and alot of other states the vin is all that matters i recomend contacting your local state highway patrol and bmv for the exact laws in your state
Hey russell, i love the 57 project, looks awesome man! I was serious if u need any help im 5 mins from you
Thank you
Very Awesome.....please let me know if you wanna part with it
I hope I did it done and get to enjoy it
💪💪💪👍
😀
Hola que altura tiene el soporte delantero de la cabina?
How did you connect your 4 wheel drive selection switches?
I haven’t yet I still have to figure that out because when I got rid of the factory computer, I lost connection to that portion
What swap kit is it you decided to go for? Very interesting content I'd love a closer look at the small wrecker in the rafters (blue one)
I am using the E-Z chassis swap kit specific for this year of Tahoe and of 57 Chevy truck. E-Z Chassis Swaps This is his website. He’s a great guy to work with. e-zchassisswaps.com/
