👋👋👋 Check out the rest of the 85 C10 swap here! Engine/transmission install, fuel system, wiring, and more! 😁 th-cam.com/play/PL3Xf8yWArPC4Qda-Lj78McLIQjdtHqjyY.html
That pipe bender is awsome. I have had to make exhaust from parts store bend pieces and just cut and welding... i actually had to cut a piece from front to back to shrink diameter... rerolled it and welded up the middle and it worked.
It really is a great machine. I just replaced all of the hydraulic seals in it which was a nightmare, but every time I use that machine I am grateful that it is there. Jerry
Finally someone that uses a pipe bender to build an exhaust system. Love the job your doing, I might be doing one of these swaps in the near future, thank you for sharing.
@@UglyTruckExperience my dad used to build exhaust systems with a pipe bender too. I don't like how alot do exhaust now with all tiny pieces, looks horrible to me.
Bending exhaust pipe is a dying art. Buying a tubing bender is a big investment for a shop, and usually a pipe dream for hobbyists (pun intended!). But the amount of welding on all those tiny pieces is a ton of work too, and unless you're a pro, the finished product doesn't look as nice as custom bent exhaust. I know my welds wouldn't cut it! :D
As I said, a pipe bender is a dream for most hobbyists, but where there's a will, there's a way. Anyone out in the shop getting things done (bender or not) gets an A+ in our book!
That machine gives me good memories,when I, used to work at Midas Muffler love that machine I still remember how to work that machine I need my exhaust done on my car there’s a fellow where I work in Kentucky has that machine and tells me He does not know how to make tail pipes in my car doesn’t make sense or maybe it does I would copy the old tail pipe and go about that when I worked at Midas Muffler we had cards will tell you to bend it 80° to 60° things like that I would love to take a drive up to your shop I gotta show you my car there’s things that you know that I don’t know as well I would love to meet you thank you 🙏 Great channel love it Anthony Seger
You are a true MASTER MECHANIC I just found your channel and have been watching your LS swap videos. I have an 82 square body C10 that I would love to swap, where are you located?
Have done any K-10 square bodies? And if so what headers do you recommend? I’ll be installing a 4.8 with a NV3500 transmission and NP208 transfer case.
We have a 74 k10 that we have 6.0 and a 4l60e in. Have not done headers on any of our swaps. I prefer the exhaust manifolds for a few reasons. People that I have asked have said they have had no problems with the cheap Ebay or Amazon headers.
Yep, we did have to trim the frame just a little, but it does have stock manifolds. This video should give you an idea of how they fit. th-cam.com/video/Z4J4vRngjzI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for tuning in!
You'll need to know exactly which engine you have (LM7, L59, etc) and find the wiring diagrams for that engine and trans, and for your truck. Each one is different, but check out these 2 videos and it should make sense. Just make yourself a list and do 1 circuit at a time, and it's not too bad. th-cam.com/video/T01jWSJttBI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/d8mcQl-rYr4/w-d-xo.html
Hey Jimmy. No we have not done a G20. We missed out on a chance to get one last year that would have been a great candidate for a swap. Let us know if you end up doing yours. Jerry and Emily
@@UglyTruckExperience,i have the 5.3 an 4L60 from an 04 suburban, i was looking at a tahoe last week cuz the wheelbase looks bout as long as the G20,still pondering...

Thanks for watching! We wanted to show "real world" custom exhaust and all the work that goes into it.

Thanks for watching! We appreciate your comments! 😊
Things thry know that you don't like how to use punctuation?
Nice job, I know mine will look just as good when it gets done.
looks like a nice big and clean shop
Thanks for watching! We like to keep the shop clean, and we've had some good help lately!
Came out good.
You are a true MASTER MECHANIC I just found your channel and have been watching your LS swap videos. I have an 82 square body C10 that I would love to swap, where are you located?
Thanks so much for your comment! We appreciate you watching! 👍 We are in southwest Missouri.
What a relaxing video. Great detail job.
Thanks for watching! Exhaust can be a boring job, but we try to make it interesting. 😊
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We appreciate you watching!
Nice work guys‼️ Where are you located?

Nice welds,, Emily👋👋
Thanks! I've been practicing! 😁
@UglyTruckExperience on your 70 c10 did you use the 5.3 ls stock exhaust manifolds?
Yep, we did have to trim the frame just a little, but it does have stock manifolds. This video should give you an idea of how they fit. th-cam.com/video/Z4J4vRngjzI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for tuning in!
Are you guys going to show the wiring part?
Oh yeah! We're doing the fuel system next, then wiring.
@@UglyTruckExperience awesome i just stumbled across this channel and love the content plus I plan on swapping my 87 c10
@@angelrojas2823 Sweet! Thanks for watching! It's a lot of work, but it's definitely worth it in the end. Best of luck with your truck! 👍
I have a 87 Sierra and I’m tryna ls swap but I’m not sure how to do the wiring. I took my ls engine from a suburban 2005.

Thanks David!
have yall swapped any G20s? I have a 95 with a 4.3

Sounds great. Keep us posted if you dig into it. Jerry
Which muffler are those flowmaster ??40s????
They are Walker Dynamax 17733.
Are cats necessary?
We have vehicle inspections here in MO, so unfortunately yes. If it came with a cat from the factory, it has to have one now.
Wyl I got a ugly truck that needs a swap???
👋 We're in southwest Missouri near Springfield.
