"A little bit of suspension travel" ... the understatement of the day
My first vehicle was an 88 regular cab long bed Chevy. Bringing back some memories with this one.

No que ma cuhh
EVERY SINGLE POWER NATION SHOW IS AN ATTEMPT TO SHOW OFF UNLIMITED BUDGETS AND MOUNTAINS OF FREE PARTS! ABSURD!!
Takuachiando Cuhh 🦡
These guys are a joy to listen to compared to some of the jerks/ comedians on the premier car channels. Straight to the point and informative 👍
True but they, (PowerNation) also half-ass alot of stuff, They are going to lower a truck but not at bare minimum hit the rest of the front suspension with a wire brush and rattle can black? They are going to c-notch the frame in the rear and not atleast clean it and rattle can it and clean up the rear end and not rattle can it? Noone who spends all this time and money is going to not atleast clean it and rattle can it, no mechanic worth his salt is going to half-ass it and bolt brand new shit up to rusty and corroded parts. I'm not saying do a frame off restoration but atleast rattle can the parts you can get to and make it look better and it's only going to cost you a cans of cheap basic bitch black Restoluem spray paint. they're $6 a can at Wal-mart.... If your just bolting new stuff up to stuff that looks like it was recovered from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and not atleast cleaning it off and rattle canning it your doing a half ass job. I mean your already there and it's already off..... do a good job and clean and paint it.
How crazy is it I just bought a 93 sport side yesterday!!!! Awesome vid👍👍👍
Jay Nix upload some videos 👌
@@carlosvillarreal41 intake leaking coolant lol. Slowing me down a little
Jay Nix lol 10-4
I admire the professionalism of you guys
I’d love it if you would do some programs on wiring. STuff like:
• How to lay out and wrap a wire harness in a way you won’t regret
• How to plan wire routes so they look good, don’t get in the way, are adequately protected, but also serviceable should the need arise
• How to keep track of the wiring changes you’ve made
• How to select high quality connectors
• How to attach harnesses to various surfaces in an elegant way
• How to match connectors to conditions, wet service, dry service, etc.
• How to wire a complicated connector in a professional way
• What to do with pre-made harnesses that are too long …or too short
• How to make a crimp connection that doesn’t look awful
So many of the aftermarket parts you guys install on your shows are beautiful. A guy like me installs those beautiful pieces, then feels guilty about the awful wiring that goes around them. Even something as simple as a fog light installation or stereo upgrade yields an ugly rat’s nest of awkward crimp connectors. Surely there is a better way.
even the same model car/truck will be different depending on what accessories you have...its one of the hardest jobs but if you take your time and buy that plastic wire loom stuff you can take wires back out again. never use any tape, wiring nuts or zip ties and you will be fine (zip ties have a 5 year life expectancy ) and its great if you have the old wiring harness and or at least a wiring diagram
One tip i picked up is you can chuck a few wires in a drill and twist wires together makes them hold shape and keeps everything tight. Also if your looking at connectors and you thibk they are pricey for what they are those are the ones to buy. Never ever cheap out on connector or wire
If you're going to take the time to pull the spindles, you might as well change the ball joints, especially drop spindles are going to put a little bit more pressure on the ball joint now.
and while your there you might as well hit it with a wire brush and some basic bitch rustoleum black rattle can paint...... I mean noone is going to spend all that money to lower a truck and do all that work just to bolt new shiny to old and rusty.... You don't have to do a complete frame off but atleast do what you can get to, There's absolutely NO reason not to clean and paint the frnt suspension when it's already taken apart and the rear end and drive shaft when they are already out of the truck and the rear frame while the bed is already off.
Obs chevy’s will never get old
Never
Wheels look good on that 2 tone paint job
When ya do the U joint and fit 'em up against the c clip always give the shaft side a tap to relieve the crush of banging in the cups. Then rotate the u joint to check it's load free.. works for me ;-)
Greg Ivey
Yep
I use to have a truck exactly like that one. Color interior everything.
I would have welded that plate on as well as bolted it.
Definitely agree. I'd also box the c-beam frame for about a foot in front, through, and behind the cutout.
Welding introduces heat into the frames metal and makes it weaker around the welded area
Spencer little - Then why weld anything at all?
The welding can effect the heat treatment and hardening of metals such as the frame.
@@crazyeyez1502 ya thats why everyone wields there frames right they didnt weld these parts in to show poeple they can do it without a weldwr in there drive way dumbass not to mention welding will not do anything at all to that thick of steal if it where thin sheet metal can be welded without making it weaker have you ever worked on a car or built any kind of suspension part or are you pulling this out of your ass.
He just said exactly what I been thinking the last couple weeks. It will be a classic. Get them now while they’re still affordable. I always wanted a 67 short bed but the price now……. OMG.
model t and model a pickups were some of the first hot rods, in the 50s custom and hot rod shops would modify their shop trucks to advertise their skill, and projects like this just carry on the tradition.
Man those wheels go with that Chevy like jelly goes with mayonnaise.
Lmaooooo
I like the way my buddy lowered his to sit just off the ground. He built a reinforced knotch out of box steel over the location of the rear axle *then* cut the frame. I've seen people do it the opposite way and waste a perfectly good frame
This trucks perfect for picking up groceries
"The 🆕️ spark plugs look gorgeous, Scott..." 🗨😉⛼🎭♨️🌌
Very nice Drop Kit.
Ball joints?? Who needs those 😂😂😂
0BS LIFE 🏁
thank, you for you're video.🙏
Takuache listening Chalino's playlist after watching this video
BFH big fuggin hamma time
Trokiando kehh!! 🥴
I guess the Pasadena Takuache style was not enough.
I’m tryna get one that way I can be a takuache cuhh
All the kuuuuuhhh’s watching frfr
*laughs in takuache*
Gonna do this to my 98 c1500 when I get the engine running right.
Graphic said GM first introduced IFS on the 88 Silverado...... True of 4WD, but GM 2WD pickups had IFS in 1960.
Thanks a lot , I was wondering si quema cuuuhh?
Finally ! Trucks ! Subscribed !
I fucking love this show thanks yall
But no quema cuh
Awesome tires, they look to be right at their wear bars.
Great stuff guys’ Big fan of the OBS 👍
Gotta watch this lmaooo pa la 90 GMC🤠
What's wrong with the 2tones Chevy I think there nicer then just a one color
I like the 2tones as well...but I like the 2tone where its a diff color down the rocker panel...I had a 99 Chevy Tahoe white w/ the charcoal gray on the rocker panels..was clean truck had it for like 15 yrs...drove the crap out of it
its a dated look...so many of those trucks had that it just looks old...two tones nowadays are like just the area above the bottom of the windows or sometimes a rocker can be black against a monochromatic look
They have to make it up to todays standards, ya know strip all the chrome off paint it matte black and take alm the badges off
Green primary and brown secondary two tone with some blackout treatment and lowering is the way to go, buddy had a truck just like that and we loved it. He sadly blew the 454 swap and decided to sell it.
@@bobbydc33 lol
No Kema Cuh!
"La Mamalona Cuh Cuh"
TO THE WINDOOOOOOOOW!
Toooo the wallll!!
My dad had a truck like this he put a freshly built 350 horse 350 into from JEGs in the early 2000s. My uncle bought it, and drove it from Louisiana to California to give to his son for his 16th birthday and drove it alongside his 98' dodge pickup with a 5.9L magnum, he said him and his friend driving his truck would line them both up, and the chevy would smoke the dodge every time, and get better gas mileage. His ex wife didnt want his son to have it though and sold it to some mexican fellas for $1500 not long after. Never heard from the truck again. Im sure its still running around the san bernardino/socal area somewhere. Had a black primered passenger fender.
Wtf where is the actual flip kit install? That’s the only thing I clicked for
I love chevys
always use the guard with your grinder, you only get the fingers your born with...
I know why they didn't change the transmission fluid last time. They only change parts that they get free.
🤣🤣
Takuaches incoming
Went therew all that miswell I’d replace the ballpoints
All that work and you didn’t replace the ball joints?
HS 200+k on the old joints %{P
It's not a Ford. Ball joints are fine
And still would have been the perfect opportunity to replace them anyways
Yeah.... Just because the boots are ok doesn't mean the ball joints are not worn to shit....
m 88 you must drive a Ford or a dodge😂💀
No quema cuhh
Love that body style
It was really great of them to grease that rotor surface before putting the new pads and caliper on.... And for heavens sake replace the damn ball joints
entertaining and informative
I liked the wheels that were on it more than the new ones, Ya'll need to do a show how to redo a set of factory chrome/custom wheels that has lost their shine, Imagine how good those wheels would look if they were cleaned sandblasted and repainted silver or blacked out. I love these "were going to show you how to build a vehicle on a budget" then you throw a set of $5000 wheels on it.... The Overwhelming majority of us viewers aren't going to do that, Were going to clean-up and redo what we got or were going to jump on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist and find some used wheels and redo them for $30 instead of spending $5000 on new wheels. Ya'll also need to learn what a wire brush, rubbing alcohol and can of black spray paint is... Ya'll keep bolting up new and shiny to old and rusty... the front suspension was already taken apart, the bed was already off the frame and the rear end and drive shaft were already out of the truck, wire brush it hit it with some rubbing alcohol and then rattle can it, I'm not saying do a frame off but atleast clean and repaint what you can get too. Ya'll do some cool vehicles and give us alot of good tips and how too's but you stop short on alot of it too.

2nd fav truck is a Silverado
Not a fan of lowered trucks, but that looks very nice
Who needs To watch a instructional video when you have so many mechanics in the comments.
Trokiando Cuhh
Everything so easy and so affordable. Yeah right
La mamalona si quema cuuuuhh.
Beautiful hood color dull purple it's the only way to go I dig it ah suspension update five buck you say I can go for that,boy that driveshaft that's one tough cast iron took a sledge hammer hit it multiple time like thousand hit to pry out the universal joint and didn't dent it replace the universal joint that cast iron didn't budge on a dent on my car
Are these newly filmed episodes? I know the Trucks! episodes are old, not sure about these. Anyway, great looking OBS, and even better because if the two tone color.
Tacuachiando kehh💀
All that work... and they didnt replace the worn out balljoints?
I agree, over 200k miles and not replaced. I know mechanics like that.
Or control arm bushings...
@@otsenres1636 Yeah, really any wear parts should have been replaced, for sure.
If they aren't worn out, why replace them? I just had a car apart for a new clutch. 250k miles and the ball joints were just as good as new. No reason to replace the good condition factory joints with some aftermarket junk unless you have to.
@@isaakwelch3451 it's blatantly obvious that at least the bottom one is terrible worn. When the drop spindle barely touched it, it moved like it had no life left in it. 5:35
Gotta go lower on the back cuh
I think you forgot to show the actual axle flip lol
Atomic Reverend Alexander , because they was too busy fixing U-joints and selling shop towels
Um, ball joints? I mean, you replaced the spindles, you were right there.
If only it were short bed, damn cuh
Manuel Larios it is
What happened to showing the install on the new shackles
Now, time for an LS6 swap
ANY ls would be just fine lol
Trokiando cuh
I have the same impact gun 😃
Oh and the black rim scene is over!
Yeah well some people don’t have taste based on popularity so...
So your saying you have bad taste?
Clint East I’m saying I’m not a bandwagon little bitch
Badass chevy
Takuache Tech
Statikleo should watch this guy before working on his "giveaway" truck to give it away properly cuuuuhhh!
At least statik leo welded his notch unlike this moron
Build from spare parts that were laying around the laundry room on a budget
Tires like that will get chewed up on a drop like that, Mark my words 😂
They won't, I have a 5/7 drop and my tires last
You even old enough to drive lmao !!
Most people do not have 2 grand to do this mod+ tires we do not have sponsors. I would love to do this to my 91 c1500 longbed
With research and doing the fab work yourself this can be achieved for a 1/4 of that price..
takuaches. A hispanic man usually in his mid 20s to mid 30s who drives a dropped Chevy Silverado truck. He might wear American Fighter shirts, jeans, big belt, hat and boots.
Cars go down, trucks go up
Thumbs up, Awesome!
Replace the u joints but not the ball joints?🤔
Takuaches do this all the time what’s so special now?
What's a takuache?
DJ's Garage Young Hispanics that take their dads truck and mod them. Similar to Ricers to Honda Civics, but these are for trucks
@@agustinjr.enriquez6238 ricers are all show and no speed, some takuaches are speed and show
marijuanaut That’s only rare, dudes really selling their 2003 dropped Silverado with 250,000 miles expecting to get $5,000 cash
Ima just go to a mechanic cause it looks like too much work😂😂
They should have replaced both motor mounts while suspension was free. Its a PITA to get to them on these OBS.
no quema cuhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
I always wandered if there's a specific purpose to lowering that people have in mind besides funky looks and possibly getting stuck on larger speed bumps? I can see a little lower for handling for street only use but why have a truck? Guess I'd rather have the useful clearance myself. Leveling the rear looks good and still leaves one half useful. Guess I've just never really understood real low drops.
Agree. 2" of drop is plenty. Looks better, more aerodynamic, easier ingress and egress. Less likely to bottom out and can still be used as a truck.
