- Guys been looking for a square body Chevrolet to run for the winter, and it fell right into my lap. A subscriber reached out to me via email with a truck he was selling. I had just sold my 93 chevy S10, so the timing was perfect. It needs some work, so I'm counting on you for ideas! The great news is, she's got a lot of new parts on her, including a new engine. Let's check this thing out! It's a 1981 GMC K1500 4x4 with a crate engine!

If you’re working on it, we’re interested.
It's Dec 18th now. I don't see where the fella picked up on it from here but I'd sure like to as well!
@@Cunnilingusaurus One of his videos he explains he lost footage, maybe was in there?
Looks like the verdict is in; everyone wants more of this old gal!
You cant save em all brother. Some cars need to be crushed. Not many people want to buy a car or truck they have to fix. Call me crazy but I want a working vehicle for when I need to go somewhere.
Ryan Malin
Yeah let’s crush a rare truck with plenty of life left on it... 🤢👎🏻
@@ryanmalin It's cool to buy a new car if you want to just drive worry free. On the other hand, it's not that dang hard for a guy to keep one of these classic going. So yeah I can see buying a new Silverado if this was your previous daily rig, but for a guy to just scrap it? No other excuse than laziness. At least sell it to somebody that will save on 'er, it takes somebody a hell of a lot more work to build a whole new car than to replace some wheels and shocks.
I love your show. I think all time is your time. what do you do for a living
@@ryanmalin old trucks are better no matter how much you work on them still way cheaped than brand new junk
"on my own time, also known as never or extremely late at night." I felt that.
Sleep is highly overrated anyway.
Me to man . I pretty much built my firebird in the nights after everyone went bed for 2 years
If a guy's doing this channel while holding down a day job with a 100 mile commute and a wife and kids, I don't know how there'd be enough hours in a day.
@@662wc5 He's been working his ass off, and his wife. They've seriously committed to growing VGG and the hard work looks like its really starting to pay off in many ways.
I have been buying car stuff since the 70s and the absolute BEST gizmo I ever bought was EFI to replace the Demon gas leaker. What a difference!
Why the black eye?
Second of all definitely want to see the build on the channel
You just made a bunch of grown men very excited with this big blue beast. Man, she's a looker!
Haha I got my dads 82 Sierra classic awaiting some tlc. Right now our kid is too small to ride but by next summer it’ll be time to have it on the road. So fix on her. Disk brake info and Holley info is good. Digitals and the headaches please.
Let’s have some episodes on the ol gal. A Guy would like that
Derek we need to see more of this truck come on man!!!
How exactly does a truck, with out a single straight panel, look so dang good.
I has bling appeal.
Those ol' square bodies seem to always look better after youve beat on them a bit. One of lifes mysteries
well the shine is just dripping off her.
@@imouse3246 Derek I have a 2006 Dodge truck 1500 and you give it gas and it is kind of spitting spider with you a little bit and you give it a little bit more gas and it'll quit what makes it do that
I can't believe how much your channel has blown up over the last year, al out 400000 subs, way to go Derek
Entertaining and good at explaining what he’s doing. I like his stuff and I’m not really into cars. Worth subbing to
I remember not all that long ago he said if he could get to 100,000 that would be a dream. Just goes to show, good guys can win and Derrick seems like the best guy.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention that custom bottle opener on the back bumper! Love the new truck!
Having grown up in Michigan, the lack of rust on that thing is amazing to me...
Us Michigan guys get to know torches and cheaterbars at young ages.
Maniacal Offroad learned that one when I was in the single digits haha
Right especially when it snow and all that salt sit on your vehicle
Either they had a heated garage and washed it every day or they parked it every winter and had a FWD winter beater.
I think it used to be a southern truck most its life. The lack of trust looks like some of the local trucks here in Texas.
When is this project coming back. I love the ol squares and that is a sharp ride. Hope we see it again soon
lol, I just told my little lady, "Troy watches this guy too..." then started this video, I helped Troy get that engine in. i thought that looked like his right away.
@@halcyonoutlander2105 It's pretty easy to realize bn is a friend of the truck's previous owner
I mean who doesn't wanna see more of a square body cheby?
She’s a Jimmy but still counts
Chevy/GMC or not, any old truck saved from the crusher is nice to see being brought back to good running condition.
@@kellyblack4897 It's not a jimmy...
Looking forward to see You work on it... i'm retired so hard work doesn't scare me at all... i can watch it all day... 😁👍💪
Sure do like the stance, perfect height and tire combo. I'm starting to take a real liking to the long bed's, reminds me of the ole Fall Guy truck.
Not even close "to the fall guy" truck. Colt's truck sit higher, twice as big of tires, the built in side box, the roll bar & most importantly, don't forget "the fall guys" truck was mid engine, right behind the cab. Then the best of all, the beautiful women that rode in it all the time🤣🤣🔥🔥
The long beds look nice with the 4 inch lift
@@timothygeiger8271 was a front motor truck an 86 long bed k10
I can't get my head around how someone would manhandle a beauty like that with a fork-u-malator. The mind boggles!
Right. I can't understand why someone junked this... while it was nicely painted yet. Probably some kid that couldn't get it to start one day and said screw it. So sad 😢. But at least saved now 👍🏼
I'm north and these trucks are RUSTED and if in that nice of shape easy 5k 😢
@@keefershere I live down south. I wish I could find a truck like that for $5k I seen one that looked a lot like this one in Colorado it had 1600 written on the window but nobody would ever answer the phone. It was probably really 16000
@@hiesenburg669 yeah it seems anything above the salt line, if they're in good shape they are very expensive. And if they are cheap, then either actually a fair price or a major issue lol. Most of mine have permanent AC lol 😆
@@hiesenburg669 there was one at city market in Hotchkiss Colorado. I don't know if it was the same one.
@@LLthereistome2024 this was 20 years ago I think it was in Parker Colorado
There's a special place for those who try to crush these classics.
New York City?
No wherever whistling diesel lives
Btw I live whistling diesels idk if I support destroying classic beautiful trucks but at leasts it’s funny while he does it and either way it’s there truck they should have the ability to do whatever they want to it
Don't be a fuckin cheap ass dude these "Classics" Aren't good for shit anymore
@@Mike_hocksbig69 love to see what a 2020 Silverado will look in 40 years... these truck weren't nicknamed the heartbeat of America for no reason
@@Mike_hocksbig69 no just no
Personally, I'd leave it alone! It looks AWESOME!
Sound proofing, new weather striping, etc, to bring down the noise, and upgrades to the engine to up the mpg.
Over the years your humor has been absolutely perfected. Love it.
So funny 🤣 I can’t stop laughing his humour is so dry
Love it when somebody has time to lift their truck 6" on spacers but not to find matching grille pieces.
Have you seen prices for Squarebody grille parts? They're ridiculous.
@@billmcbillface7467 dude every thing square body has became expensive lol.
Take that awful quadrajet carb off put an edelbrock on it it will come up on fuel mileage
@@hossburgess2823 quadrajunk lol
@@1776cootsflybynight I am weird but I actually like quadrajets... I have had really good luck with them after cleaning and going over them and tend to get the best milage out of a rig with one vs a Holley or Weber... Your milage MAY vary but for what it is worth that has been my experience. The one on my 520K mile original motor (one timing set and one valve job) '77 GMC C15 (been in the family since new) is rock solid and starts on the first bump of the key even in sub freezing weather.
Really like the bottle opener on the rear bumper, driver's side.
Good eye
She's a creampuff, love to see a nice series on this ol' girl
Yup.
@Adam Hayden minor sarcasm, probably a new jersey thing..
The cup holder was my first mod in almost every car I bought back in the 70s/80s
“... gas tank exploded in my mother’s garage” You have to tell that story!
Agree
🙏🙏🙏
uffda, yepper.
The guy that did it replied with the story in another comment!
She’s nice I would love to see this square body snow ball out of control with new things
My favorite truck of all time. I was raised on square bodys. As a family we have a tradition of the square body truck. Something about em makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. You need very simple tools skill and parts to keep em running. They run forever aside from neglect and severe abuse. These trucks feel like family to me. I dont have one right now which is sad but everyone in one gets the nod from me. My new love is still square minus 4 cylinders a bed and 4x4. Old volvo wagons are just like the old ck trucks in a way. Ive used the old vo for all kinds of work. Taken it off road done incredibly stupid things with it on road and traveld all across the south for a while now. At about 300k miles (guesstimate odo stuck at 217k 10 years ago) i still daily it use it for work and long distance travel and off road camping. Brother if you ever comr across an old vo snatch on er. You wont be dissapointed with the versatility reliability and fun hoonage. I love big American cars and trucks v8s and hotrods it what i was raised on. Somehow a sweedish mistress has won me over. The cops never look at me twice its like im invisible to them in a bright red volvo it will do 120 so thats nice. Thanks love your work.
Lol 😆 are you as surprised as me that a guy doesn't have a single Hoon sticker licence plate or flag in his man cave??
We see this ol girl in the tree row now, Its such a nice looking truck. Can you give us an update on her? I have a 86 Fully loaded silverado and love these trucks and hope you keep her around. THANK YOU very much for all you do. God Bless you and your family Derek. Everyone have a great day!!
Would definitely love to see a series on this old girl
I love it Derek, it came with a booster seat for Jessica. Perfect. 😂🤣😂🤣
funny
Lmao! I can see her over there ventilating(ie, laughing) when she reads that one.
She’ll vapor lock🤭😉
I came here to see if someone had already written this.
Dang it.
(Sorry, Jessica, only kidding)
I’d love to have one of these someday! I like your thinking, function over form... you’ve got a good rig to start up with.. I would definitely like to see her on the channel!!
The 81 front end is so under appreciated. What a beautiful rig. I have a 79 Scottsdale that’s a long time project of mine but I absolutely adore these trucks
She sounds amazing. I live in Ireland and we don't see/hear anything like that on the roads here. A 2.0l diesel is big engine here and the government try crush you with carbon tax plus road tax plus tax on fuel.
You must need to make 25 trips to get anything done.
Oh, Ireland is taking a page out of the USA's book of fleecing it's citizens I see?
@@77yogurt Petrol is almost $2 per litre and diesel is about $1.85 plus on top of that I pay road tax of almost $1000 per year and my insurance is about the same.
no wonder I know more people with illegal cars than legal here lol
@@bobodriscoll holy fuck that's ridiculous!!
I like the old Chevy and Ford gonna start looking for one to build with my daughter soon
awesome, you should
I recommend early 80 late 70s they are pretty cheap i bult my first truck at 15 for 500 bought a 81 bronco and put a starter in it got the junky carb to work
@@ViceGripGarage i seen a truck about ssme Year a day ago the guy put 2002 chevy 3.73 axles under it on 265/75/16 wrangler silent armer tires all season tires she does will in the snow and gets about 19 to the gal on highway drive's 189 mile round trip gear ratio i just talked about give you great towing with fuel. Economy running it in my to diesels and seen on 82 chevy next
Man, on the ole' earphones that intro hits like a glow plug diesel on ether!!
“You can tell because of the way that it is” ... that’s a TH-cam classic from waaaaay back. Also good at identifying Aspen trees.
It's neature... That's pretty neat.
Man she’s a beauty!
Love to see more of it and your other ‘personal’ vehicles!
If a guy owned that up here (Northern Alberta, not far from old peg leg) it wouldn’t be getting winter driven that’s for sure.
Yessss more!!! And little info on the Corvair in the background!
Yes, let's see what you do to this rig. I say tires, lower it back down, then front end.
Derek: bought a 74 Chevy truck back in 1977 was used in Bakersfield calif for $2,500.00 bucks one of the best vehicles I ever owned! 454 big block Automatic, had lots of miles on it ! Eventually the motor blew up, while I was working as a body man I was able to get a good deal on a brand new 454 crate motor long block from the Chevy dealership we used for parts at the shop. Like my 67 Pontiac Firebird, I touched every nut and bolt on that truck as I rebuilt everything on that truck making it my own + we used it to go on trips to go On weekend jaunts to Pismo on the beach, red rock in the desert, Death Valley sand dunes. We started an off road club called So- Cal off road. We had great fun ! I loved that truck pretty much as I did that 67 Pontiac Firebird! Wrenching gets in your blood! That’s why at 75 retired I really miss it! My body says nope! But I really miss working on cars trucks and the like! That’s why I hate this cold ass Colorado weather! I’m fixin to Chang that and move to Tennessee! I miss my square body ! This blue one you’ve gotten I great looking! I had both tires on mine the first set my wife bought were the wrong ones , big off road tires my wife bought noise’y bastards! Wore them out, then put road tires on it , big ones same size as your off rod tires! Loved them they were dam near as good off road as on! And quiet! We were young back then you put up with a lot more inconvenience when your young! lOL 😂 go with the big road tires! Great video Son ! Love your TH-cam Chanel! -
Regards The Original Mad Mike S. From California, of late Cold ass freezing Colorado ☃🥶❄………
Man, please, please, please add that girl to the channel. Would love to see more! Love the channel! Watching your channel has helped me get my dads ol' ford running. Thanks!!!
Definitely make a playlist for this truck
That’s a goin to town rig.
I've had 2 sets of cooper discoverer at3's and I love em. You can't go wrong with the coopers
I love your channel Derek, when I'm winding down from work you totally crack me up! God bless you and your family and keep that awesome content rolling in.
Cooper discoverer if you can still find them are decent cheap a/t's
Those or the General Grabber at2’s.
Thanks
Yep put few sets of cooper all terrain on few different vehicles. Skate done me good. Even on a trailblazer
*always. Stupid auto correct
I think I speak for everyone when I say let’s see some more videos on this!
Hello I am a new subscriber to your channel my father fell down like 13 stairs and I stayed with him he is 83 yes old bought a Kawasaki Vulcan where he fell and showed me your show I love it and watch you faithfully now I am a 62 yrs young you are so awesome great video's I'm also a Canadian viewer your wife reminds me of me working on cars with my dad
I’d fix the heat and the axle seal and drive it. Well, and tidy up the electricals too....an maybe a radio. Ooh and those blocks on the rear... and that tailgate, I’m familiar with living with one of those, not good times. Those wheels are kinda nice for winter too, I guess they need swapping till spring.
And this ashtray, and the paddle game...and this remote control...that all I need,,,,and these matches. And this lamp! That’s all I need.
Well you may have gotten this rig for a really decent price, but I was watching the dollar signs blow by as a guy was showing all that needed to be done in order for it to suit his purposes...please do this this project on the channel...like this truck a lot...yeah I agree with you and I too think starting with the tires and suspension is a good place to begin:)
I would love to see more of this rig in the future
might go on ahead and do that
Agreed!
I would highly recommend the Holley Sniper EFI. We just finished installing one on my 77 Blazer. What a difference. You will love it.
Back when these were made new, we never called them "square sided trucks". We called them "new trucks."
everything was square body back then
@@brendan1675 Even passenger cars were "square body" back in the early 80's.
Yup, the whole "square body" designation was a product of the internet. The 73-87 trucks were actually known as the "Rounded Line" back then. Oh the irony......ha
Cooper Discovery, the best reasonable all season tire you're going to buy.
whoa hold on a second there fella, you need to wash the old girl with a sandy rag or something...you ride around with all that sun sparkle on there and the neighbors will start pointing and talking. A guy don't need to be showing off in his own town.
That truck is sweet! I have a 1986 GMC 3/4 ton 4X4 that I would love to look like that.
All that truck needs is a pine tree air freshener and you’re ready to rock ‘n’ roll :-)
Definitely want to see more on this truck! Can’t go wrong with a square body Chevy
Hey Derek - Nice truck I would enjoy seeing more about it. Look into some Cooper tires - quality is good and they are not terribly expensive.
I run Cooper Discoverers on my Trailblazer, and have been pleased. My Dad runs them on his 4wd F150, and has been coast to coast (and back), towing a camper, on them. He's been pretty happy with them. I had always been a BFG guy, but Cooper seems to beat BFG on price and durability. I stick with products I like, but I'm not a fanboy; give me a better product at a better price, and I'm there.
These videos are great for a guy who just wants an everyday, useful truck. It helps to watch the repair and replacement of no-bling parts to save some fuel and keep more money in the wallet. The older American Chevrolets look a lot easier to work on and have a classic look that's been lost with the new plastic trucks made today. Please keep adding these type of videos to your channel. Cheers
The brief story about the gas tank exploding in your mom's garage makes me want "story time with uncle Derek" vijayas. Lol
Derek could do story time videos if it ever gets cold in Minnesota and he didn't want to freeze his butt off.
Yes more of this one! More of any of your projects!! Longer vids too bro! keep'em coming!!!
She’s a beaut Clark. Would love to see more
It’s Superman....
National Lampoons
Chirstmas vacation
Still working out of my 84’ silverado camper special since 84’.
“ stubble field in a radio flyer “ I just about chocked eating my lunch!! Love it and the sweet truck!
Holy cow***That is a very nice truck***yes, yes improve fuel mileage, and comfort level*****
The tilt is a deal breaker on an s10. I’m 6’5”. That truck was resold quick.
Hey Derek, my two bits;
Rather than 33 10.50's consider running some 255 85 16 Mastercraft Courser CXT tires on steel wheels. I think you'd like the skinnier tire in the winter . You could go with white wheels or two tone 'em with the body color.
For a rear axle; before tossing cash at the 10 bolt maybe consider swapping in a semi-floating 14 bolt out of a heavy-half or light duty 3/4 ton. These axles are readily available with a 6 bolt pattern that would match your 10 bolt front. I'm not sure if your sweet 15" mags would clear the brakes though.
Back in the day we'd pull the bottom leaf out of a lift spring pack (assuming there was more than two leaves) then before reassembling the pack we'd replace the plastic leaf pads with 1/8"-ish aluminum spacers to give each leaf in the pack room to "breathe". We'd just add the aluminum spacers to the two leaf front packs. By doing the above we managed to lose about an inch of lift from the kit but gained a measurable amount of ride quality. Of course this was 23 years ago and my level of acceptable rise quality is different than it is now. Cheers 🍻
What about sound proofing the interior since you're adding carpet etc.
That thing is cleaner than Hillary's hard drive! Need to scoop one of these up for myself.
Been lovin my Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs. Super reasonable price, awesome tread, and most important...whisper quiet even in 33's
threw those on my 2500 hemi and they have been spectacular especially since I do not have 4x4 at the moment.
10/10
I was a hardcore fan of BFG All Terrains on my Grand Cherokee until they priced themselves out of the range of my wallet. Switched to the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs and was shocked by what a great tire they are. Super quiet and comfortable, yet capable on the trails.
When I was 21 I had the same truck with 68 327 in it 35 inch Hankook mudders, bucket seats ..thing was f#$%^ fun as hell
Definitely would like to see more... I have a 79 GMC that i have had since high school...( 30 years ago )
6:50 The greatest bumper accessory known to man.
hahah cant believe you saw that
@@noahhamilton9028 Agreed! My old Ford fact-tree bumper was designed for a bottle opener-STOCK!
It flashed by so quick I missed it the first time. I'll be dipped!
Good eye and yes perfect accessory
I couldn't believe he didn't mention it for his "cold snacks"
Has to be an extendo cab s10 with tilt for a fella like us. Love that beautiful grande 1500 you got. Square body is the way to go.
For a fairly quick and easy change over on brakes me and brother have just been buying stock rear axles outta the junkyard. Then we change the gears to what we want. Then up grade the stock rotors to the after market drilled and slotted rotors with pads to match. We have done 3 so far and they have worked u great. Oh we pulled them out of 2000-06 chevys 2wd-4wd. Love all your video's and all your by you and your family. This is the 1st time ive left a message. Hope this helps you out brother!!!
I need to hear the story of the exploding gas tank in your mom's garage...
Derek please tell this story!
Seconded!
Yep.. need that story.. love the truck
I swearrr
Ditto 👍😁
I have the holley sniper on that same jegs engine, it really needs the hyperspark to be happy, throttle is insanely touchy without the progressive linkage and tuning to match, the best part is there is no service parts. I had an injector go out and had to replace the whole unit.
Unfortunately you're right about that. My 2 hole model is much smoother than the 4 hole one without the progressive linkage. The Hyperspark kit absolutely is worth it. I'd hate to have a ride without it.
That said, I love it. My '78 fires up every time with no drama.
@@tsp159 I originally did it to not be another LS but I now have way more money wrapped up into 290hp and with no service parts or diagnostics its now my only classic that I don't trust to take long distance. Live and learn.
Nice truck makes me miss my 86 4x4. Would like to see more of this truck.
One of the nicest body styles for a truck ever made!! Especially with a long bed on a mild lifted truck. Treat'r well my friend!!
I love ole square bodies can’t wait to see what y’all do with it my next project purchase will be an ole 4x4 k20
Love the truck, I'd love to see some episodes on it!! Suggestion-wise I'd say it deserves a protective undercoating before the undercarriage swiss cheeses itself
looking forward to seeing more on this. Tires and a 2" lift would be cool to see.
Let's be honest Derek, the reason you bought it was the bottle opener on the rear bumper! Pure class, love your channel!
Ur the only once who noticed the WobblePop-Sprayolator 3000!
"Like driving a 1086 down a gravel road in road gear" That one hits home, we've got a barely running dinosaur of a 1086
Spent many hours atop a 1066 with the BIG turbski on her as a child. Even ran it in a couple of pulls. Fun to catch a few of these memories rattlin round in the ol brain box.
I'd like to see the seal repairs to the axles and tcase, I've run lifted chevys for ever, prefer 33s , fuel injection would be cool
It looks like my girlfriend tried to put it in the garage a few times.
Relatable
Yokohama Geolander AT/s is hands down my favorite year round tire for daily adventures. They work great on ice, gravel and even track well in the mud. I would also definitely drop a disk set on the rear of this Ole square body. And rhino line the floors before the carpet to help prevent the rust.
Love the conference table lmao. Just like mine..good for pre-project discussions.
Or late night Poker games!
Could watch endless episodes on square bodies. Love em. I'd work on safety first imo..... Suspension, brakes, leaks, heater, wiring etc.
What’s up Derek hope the family and you are well!
Thank you, you as well
Nice looking truck like you said she’s already got her dings snd whatnots so she can be used for what she was made for. Workin!
Really cool rig. Those old GMCs run forever. With minor tlc that could be quite the custom. Nice color too
Any hoo Deric, yes we want to see more of you working on that truck, what ever you do to it, it will be entertaining, i look forward to more 😁😁
this is my kind of truck! it gets it done and you bounce your way to the boomboom box all the way there and back! what else can you ask from the old gal?
this was done before the last owner that I got it from
- says the last owner
I recently discovered your channel and i am thoroughly enjoying it. You have me interested in automotive stuff again. I'm seriously looking at getting either a second or third gen C/K. Just gotta figure out how to get the wife on board.
"Right now I got the Tupac Tube just blastin' out the boombooms up there" LMAO
Good to see a old survivor like that one. Even with a few scars. All of the ones I had of that body style the drivetrain was still good but was really hard to stay warm.... and dry! I’d like to see ya fix her up on the channel. Keep up the good vidjas guy
"Do the Michael Jackson on her to start her". I have no idea what this means, but I'm laughing anyway
smacking the gas peddle a hundred bazillion times before she will stay running lol
Carbs sometimes require you to dance on the gas pedal to get and keep 'em runnin' when it -234 degrees outside.
Tim Hughes nah, the 87 Mazda 323 i had, with automatic choke smacked up to 3k revs at double digit. At first try even. Sadly the rust took it.
Beat it? Thrill her? Be a smooth criminal? I.. don't.. knoww.......
th-cam.com/video/CIqVeF8irtk/w-d-xo.html
That's a good one. I'd like to see more on this one--tires, front end, dash, gauges.... (and tailgate holder bar 6000).
A guy may go the safety items first.Rear spring block,steering dampener,WIRING.
I had a 1974 custom deluxe 250 and had it restored and painted just that colour. I loved that truck. It loved the gas. 350 4 barrel and I liked the four barrel and one ton rear end. I have never had a truck since that used that much fuel. The locking differential was great on back roads and in the snow. I had the bed sandblasted inside before painting.
