    Wow! This is incredible. I’m a huge Tomac fan, definitely wasn’t expecting to see his truck on this channel but I’m all for it. Incredible build and video!

      ET3 fan here also! I wasn't expecting to see a vehicle of his on this show either! Let alone SEMA!! Eli is going to love this truck. Looks and sounds incredible

      He doesn’t like to brag.. good to see someone doing it for him.. this will look good next to the GT3RS

      Fellow Eli fan .... He has great taste in cars. This is cool to see not much of his personal life out there.

    Good luck n 24 Eli,
    Great to have you back! Your truck is badass too!

    People drool over the 70’s C-10. To me the Apache is styling heaven for a pickup. This build has style to the max.

    58-59 Apaches are absolutely stunning when done to this level!

    Love Tomac and the story behind the truck! My dad brought me home from the hospital in the 68 RS/Z28 that he gave me!! Makes it so sentimental!

    • @darksu6947
      @darksu6947 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was brought home in a 1980 Z28 Camaro with Hurst t-tops. It's dark claret with silver and charcoal stripes. It's sitting in my driveway right now. Thanks dad!

  • @fugginrambo

    Damn that's nice! Eli has done a few things, in fact he's pretty good on a Vespa.

    @downhilldaddy5282 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I appreciate that you’re a TH-camr that won’t run another person’s shit like it was yours. You have respect and being a grown up you know the limits. I love your videos, great content

  • @deegan727
    @deegan727 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Badass truck. I love this guys enthusiasm for his own work. Few can appreciate what goes into a straight body and tight consistent gaps. It’s usually overlooked by everyone except people that does that type of work. Most people just see the flawless paint job and none of what it takes for the clear coat to take the credit.

  • @justinfee819
    @justinfee819 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Tomac is the man and has a badass truck

  • @powerwagon3731
    @powerwagon3731 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Love the history, especially that Eli came home in the truck as a baby. Makes me wish I kept my Z 28 my son Levi came home in back in 1988. We’re big Eli fans and watch all his races! The old school gun rack is cool but would have liked the door wing windows in function. See you soon at A 1 Eli, we all missed you after last years injury. Superb work Gentleman! P.S. Eli’s race winning Yamaha is blue too.

  • @keithwilliams8018
    @keithwilliams8018 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a 58 Apache also but with the big wrap around rear window...this is motivation here for me!!!It was my Dad's Friend truck my Dad bought it from him in the early 70's!!

  • @bmf00
    @bmf00 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    i love this truck. i really appreciate that it's not all blinged out. it's perfect. The color combo is excellent.

  • @genemounce8302
    @genemounce8302 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just something about matte gray/black trim, grills, etc. mixed with a badass paint job that make stuff stand out to me. LOVE it !

    • @mura0
      @mura0 ปีที่แล้ว

      His other red 3/5 build has the same thing going. I'd cerakote all the grey you see in this build to contrast with the super shinny blue. Stunning truck regardless.

  • @chuckdoolen6989
    @chuckdoolen6989 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This truck was a fun build! And yes it made 480hp to the wheels at 6000ft elevation and stock gm injection. Super fun to drive!

    • @gordocarbo
      @gordocarbo ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ELevation must be the key. Great job man super tasteful not overdone or tacky. Hard to pull off
      Color is incredible. Love me some PPG products they make great stuff!

  • @jimmybootz1277

    That 'Dakota Digital' dash cluster is beautiful hell this whole build and the history behind it is beautiful great job to all the builders and artisans that worked on this build and great job to you Sean and your guys at AutoTopia L.A. for another top notch show keep up the good work guys and gals👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾

    • @AutotopiaLA
      @AutotopiaLA  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you and I love what they did with this one and the story behind it

  • @JaysRandomnessChannel
    @JaysRandomnessChannel ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My dad had a burgundy one with a white top and rear stripe on the bed. Small block 350 with Turbo 350 transmission and 4:11 gears. It was a beast in the 1/8th... freeway driving was another story😂😂

  • @timsilva1944
    @timsilva1944 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow! Very nice. Clean and tastefully done.
    As a gear head, a mountain biker that's been riding since the '90s when John was killing it and then later got back into moto when Eli turned pro, I want to see ET's reaction to this beauty.
    The #3 Yamaha would look great in the back.

    Metal work is incredible. All of Mitch build are really good craftsmanship. 👍

  • @CyberDocUSA
    @CyberDocUSA ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Mitch had to bring up the alternator. Lol. Good one! Love this truck and little touches like the turn signals wired to the headlamps. You even managed a tunnel blip before he takes it on the circuit and got the brakes diagnosed.

  • @undergroundgaming3172

  • @sickjohnson

    That is one insane Chevy Apache build...wow!

    • @sickjohnson
      @sickjohnson ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh...the owner is up in the mountains...so my bet is the gun rack holds an HCAR .30-06...or it should.

  • @mrmiscast
    @mrmiscast ปีที่แล้ว +5

    1/8" toe in is correct as far as I'm concerned. Straight axles especially. The 1/8" toe in will get you started at the very least. Great build, very nice truck and while I'm not a blue fan, this is very nice.

  • @TerryCristopher
    @TerryCristopher ปีที่แล้ว +1

    1/8 of an inch sounds fine, send it! Maybe in a track car you can go with a tie out to increase turning response at expense of stability, nice paint again

  • @timbrown9731
    @timbrown9731 ปีที่แล้ว

    2 LSX 454 crate engines. 625hp, and 720hp LSX 454 R. That's the 625hp lsx 454. The 720 will have an R on the valve cover, came with a high rise intake manifold, carburetor, 13:1 compression that runs on race gas. That truck should be making no less than 540 to the wheels.

      I'd never know it, & wouldn't know him if I was talking to him, but he's got an awesome truck... that color combo is cool af...if I had one more vehicle to build, I'd use it... maybe throw in some pinstripes to make it a little different... wouldn't want to carbon copy or anything, but it definitely works...

    Takes decades to master this craft, need more like him
    Came out great...if it were mine only change Id make is keep the brightwork, trim and polished wheels (lip too)
    Dont matter..... Im betting that seat gives larger/taller guys an opp to drive it. Friend has a tricked out 58? I cant drive the darn thing
    Gun rack is classic!

    • @AutotopiaLA

    OMG!!! I love this truck. There might be one thing I would change. Maybe. Color match the spokes of the wheels to that gray. I'm not a big chrome guy on cars/trucks. Harleys, oh yes. But not 4 wheels. And, again that is a maybe. Incredible truck!!!!!!!

    @petercasper224 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fantastic build guys, hats off! Not sure if this was a customer request or slight over sight. The only this shiny are the inner wheels, I would have left the original badges on to pull the wheels in to the mix. The other .02 piece would be the featers on the bed that are grey. I think they should have been blue. The grey makes them look to pronounced much like the storage tube on a fuel tanker truck. Wicked looking truck all aside on my two points.

    Only thing I would change is to either do the letters on the tailgate in the gray or leave them blue and do the banner around them in gray. Other than that it is a beautiful looking truck and I hope eli and john enjoy the hell out of it.
