@Don Gamble: I kind of figured that Brandon was leaving when started show Mike Huxley helping out with the builds on some of these projects, that Mike was Brandon's replacement
Sorry Brandon retiring from you guys he said he was a good worker he knew his stuff building cars well I guess I got to miss him he was just a great guy
Looks cool - but BOY are those tires going to be noisy on the highway! Did that back in the late 80's. Had to ditch them, or else anything over about 1/2hr of highway driving left your brain vibrating.
And after you get the full rolling chassis assembled, complete with fuel and brake lines and wiring harnesses, ready for the engine/trans/shafts, body, and bed, just douse the whole thing in Fluid Film. Hit the transfer case and transmission too.
I few people who have left these shows and went on to other things say these shows are not all that great to work for. A few of them have went on with there own youtube channels and talk about it.
Yeah. I think Tony Angelo who use to be with lucky, said that they are in 1 big warehouse. There office people that are right next to them all time. They can't be to loud or disruptive pretty much in any way or the office people yell at them and get annoyed. He said it was more headache than anything.
Stacey David, gears, used to do trucks. He said to was a battle to do certain builds and then they wouldn't let him sell, auction or raffle them off. He went out on his on so he could build his way then either keep the vehicle or sell/give it away, in a drawing. If I remember correctly he said some of the builds were even scrapped.
for the chassis i would have used STEEL IT so later on after the running gear, fuel lines and brake lines are run you can do some frame boxing without having to do any grinding.
I like the truck but I don’t see why they wouldn’t paint the firewall after all the polished parts on the front and painting everything else. Looks more like cutting corners than “original” to me.
Love the blue an silver 2 tone because I have one but wondering why you didn't go with correct colors for Fall guy truck and paint firewall or box the frame or install steering box reinforcement plate it will definitely crack with big tires and any serious off road use and is a known weak spot! Still nice build.
Guys, guys, guys you did so good on this build in every area......except the wheels. Just my opinion and we all know how the old saying goes about opinions & a-holes. Great work.
I don't understand why people install flex fuel line especially with the junk in today's fuel. Factory installed hard line like brake lines for a reason. I have seen people go through on a build and install all new fuel system and then have fuel issues. Hard lines don't break down and introduce debris and junk into your fuel system like flex lines and hard lines won't collapse EVER unless you hit it against a rock while off roading. Some things need upgraded from the factory but this is not one of them. Even a steel braided hose is nothing compared to the hard full metal fuel lines. 🤦🏻
Ethanol is pretty corrosive and the easiest way to use rated line is the newer rubber lines. More stations are using ethanol gasoline, and at some point all of them will. I dont like the rubber lines either since they tend to balloon or break down or rub through. When I was in school we only used flex line when transitioning from a fixed location to a mobile location, or to make a tight bend that a hardline couldnt.
@@duckwacker8720 There are lots of stations across the US in most states that still sell ethanol free gasoline. The federal standard was changed to E10 and went into affect in 2016, but that doesnt keep stations from offering other blends like "E0".
Great episode! Then I heard the news about Brandon. That sucks! He brought a great personality to the show! Does anyone have any insight on what happened?
Could be his contract was up. Maybe the stress of making TV got to be a bit much. Maybe just personal conflict. Either way he's moved on. They seem to struggle with keeping the talent.
dude, clamp on AN hose on the fuel tank, put a tube nut sleeve with a 37* flare and a -6 union, come on, or weld a male -6 on the sender, a hose clamp, ugh
nice lookin truck but doesnt that tranny brace go inside the frame on the rails pinned with the bolts u got it underneath frame with bolts holding all the weight , also paint that fire wall better pllz match the main color
Why not do a manual transmission in a truck like? Get one that has a compound low first and an overdrive. Would be much cooler to drive. Automatics for lazy drivers. P.S. a turbo 400 would've been more period correct and a stronger than the 700r4
I wish that they would stop building carburetor vehicles. I live at 6k feet and massively change elevation driving back and forth to work and up the mountains. They just don’t work up here…
What difference does it make? If you want to build that build with EFI just buy a FiTech or Holley Sniper kit. Only difference is using an electric fuel pump and setting up the little built in computer.
@@barryhebert5839 plus carbs have been obsolete for several decades. Those are the same people who would think single circuit, non power assisted drum brakes and manual steering because it's cool because it's "old school".
@@bmstylee "plus carbs have been obsolete for several decades." First, you don't know what the word "obsolete" means. Second, even if carburetors were obsolete, what of it? "Those are the same people who would think single circuit, non power assisted drum brakes and manual steering because it's cool because it's "old school"." Anyone can notice the difference between power and manual brakes and steering when driving, but you would have no idea whether an engine was carbureted or fuel-injected simply by driving it. Furthermore, carburetors are relatively cheap, simple, and easy and cheap to repair if something goes wrong with them, which is why they're not "obsolete" as you suppose, i.e., various companies still make new ones and they are still actively developing/improving them too. Compare that to something that's actually obsolete, like, say, a Betamax VCR. No company is making those today, let alone actively developing/improving them. By the way, even when something is truly obsolete; pointing out that it's obsolete isn't a valid argument against using it. If something does what you need/want it to do, that's all that matters, obviously.
all that motor and you put tires on that cant go over 75 . swamper are the worst tire and 16.5 rims is very limited to tires . a 17 inch rim had more options and still not over sized . couldve gone with a good radial AT and ride a lot smoother down the highway . been there done that with 44s , 39.5 , 42 , 36 , and now 35inch AT radials on 17inch rims . nice truck regardless of the wheel combo somebody picks on their own truck .
Hmm 🤔 I wonder why Brandon is leaving? It seems like so many people are leaving. LT, Mike galley, now Brandon. What is really going on because what I see when I watch these videos I’d do anything to be on the team and show.
I'm curious about the undeniable question that needs to be addressed, why have there been multiple co host come and gone from just the show you're on and where's Tommy. The entire PN is going to shit since Tommy's presence isn't felt. I'm guessing it's an authority issue behind the scenes. Hhhmmmm.
2 problems gentlemen , 1 / leaf springs - when they are installed and the axle is bolted to them the shackle is supposed to be 0 to 180 degrees vertical , not inverted as they presently are ( that info comes from experienced leaf spring technician ) and 2/ a chain driven transfer case on a heavy duty offroad truck is considered as blasphemy ( gear driven or go home )
I hate it when powernation announces that a host is leaving and doesn't give any insight as to why. Granted I know they don't have to but come on! Anything is better than just saying he's leaving ten seconds before the episode ends
I haven't had issues with my Powestop stuff. The pads are definitely dusty and can be a bit grabby if cold and wet. But for the cost I guess it's ok. I might try EBC next time I have to replace them.
Dang I’m gunna miss Brandon he seemed like a fun dude to have a beer with and bs, I wish him the best in his future endeavors!
Sad. The end of the previous episode had him saying he "was working all alone" doing the body work on this truck and then he's just gone next episode.
@@gb1613 I saw that. Hopefully that was just some theatrical drama.
@@bmstylee they seem to burn through people regularly....suck cause when you get the guy all set and smooth....gone
Y’all nailed this build! Everything is right. Big block, 1 tons, actual off road tires with the wagon wheels. Home run
I freaking love this build i still love good ol chrome and mechanical fuel system
I hate seeing people leave your show and wonder why they do.
Probably something along the lines of that old saying "People don't quit bad jobs they quit bad managers" Seems like there is a lot of turnover here.
Tommy is the only constant person I have seen in the past 15-20 years on powernational/powerblock

0:20 First off, Great choice of wheels, definitely takes me back ! 👍😎
Looking good
I can guarantee you you're going to hate those polyurethane cab mount if you love your spine
very nice build. Such a prime wheel and tire combo
I think you need to find an old, midnight, blue blue, and with a 350 in a four-speed and completely restore it to the ground up
Brandon gone already? Too bad. He seemed like a pretty good builder. 🤷♂

I had the white spoke wheels on mine with a 4inch lift
The beginning is so fire 🔥
Maybe he's going to work with LT. Brandon is an awesome fabricator and many skills. Good luck man.
That would be awesome all around.
Man, one of the shortest tenures as host in PowerNation history
yeah wow. right in the middle of one of their coolest builds. wonder what happened. i am still wondering what happened to Mike.

Box the damn frame, you got a high horsepower big block and want to off-road the truck that chassis will not last
Agreed, I can NOT believe they are skimping out on the frame. It's pretty disappointing that they are taking shortcuts on a build like this
And still didn't address the known weak link in frame behind the steering unit with reinforcement plate. I don't get it 🙄
Great build it is coming out right and also the shiny Chrome parts is a very nice touch.
That Edelbrock carb looks a lot like a Holley!
Marc said "I love it when a plan comes together". Is he leading up to an '80s GMC Vandura build?
No. That line comes from the ‘80’s TV show
The A-Team with Mr. T
I sure hope so! To see an A-Team tribute build will be fire.

Look. We should be happy it was sorta painted and not left as a rust bucket paint job.
Maybe they told him as he was painting it that this would be his last show and he said Fk it
I have the same chrome wheels on my ‘68 GMC. The wheels were on it when I bought it which was in ‘87
i would have had it sand blasted then galvanized then powder coated instead of painted , more of a thorough coating
This truck will sit until they sell it or tear it apart for other projects.
Should have boxed that frame. She's going to twist a ton with that much power...
Omg this thing is looking awsome..
Hell yeah......swampers, chrome wheels, a big block, 1 tons, yes yes yes..........more of this type of builds.
Fallguy truck had 15x10 8 bolt wheels according to the history recorded on it. Summit racing used to sell them too
Didn't Stacy David do a Fall Guy truck build?
He did. They seem to copy him as of late. The only problem with Stacey is nothing is ever finished.

I love the truck, but i want to know more about the green second gen Z28 in the background.
Edelbrock? Who you trying to fool? That's a Holley with a Edelbrock sticker!!
You put the fuel line OVER the frame rail?
I thought Colt Seavers truck was metallic brown or gold or something like that. Could be mistaken.
Hate to critique but Id look great with a mid engine setup. The Faux one can last a long time sure but can it jump?
Y’all should build a 1970-77 ford maverick
Are we gonna talk about how the pad was not installed into the caliper bracket at the top?
Looks to me that track bar is still going to hit under suspension compression!!
It can't
You called that pickup a car? LOL!
What do you guys do with the trucks you build? Do you sell them or just go park them somewhere out back?
It was nicer with original wheels and beauty rings
If you use 'plan comes together' one more time you have to build a van!

Wonder why the description says power coated chassis. Pretty sure they just painted it.
Great commercials
Sorry to see Brandon go.
The gas tank is in the same location, so you just built an expensive fire bomb.
What's the gear ratio used in those dana rears ?
dude, clamp on AN hose on the fuel tank, put a tube nut sleeve with a 37* flare and a -6 union, come on, or weld a male -6 on the sender, a hose clamp, ugh
Love that accessory drive set!
I’ve done those frames like that ,they’ll be rusted in 6 months done one with por 15 went thru there whole steps but still rusted
What brand lift was installed?
nice lookin truck but doesnt that tranny brace go inside the frame on the rails pinned with the bolts u got it underneath frame with bolts holding all the weight , also paint that fire wall better pllz match the main color
The zinc coating on the rotors is a bitch to burn through and get the pads seated.
People need to understand there is a difference between "upgrades" and "updates"! A simple bolt on is not necessarily an "upgrade"!
I know we gave Brandon hell for looking Poochie from the Simpsons but he was really growing on me. Sad to see him go...
I see kept but sag that all chevys have. I was once told that the reason is otherwise the universal joint wouldn't lubricate properly.
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
