Just in case someone hasn't mentioned it yet, the bypass on the back of the head is to give the hot coolant back there a way out. It is returned to the lower radiator hose housing because that is the suction side.
Especially since those old truck bodies are old and crunchy like that. To get them back to a point where you’d want to spend the money on a paint job you’d be spending stupid money to get the metal right then you’d be afraid to drive them!
I disagree with the comments, I like the patina look of the old Fifties Truck. I think it looks great, I wouldn't paint it. I'm with you on this one, Rich. btw I'm quite impressed with what you guys accomplish in that shop of yours with limited high end tools. You do epic builds so I don't know what folks are whining about. So keep your chins up! and keep putting out great projects. We love it, we really do.
Imagine watching this channel, all the work being done and complain about something as basically trivial as paint. i LOVE the Silverado and its many forms it's had, this one being awesome too, but i also love the just get it working great ''run down'' look or patina. Saving vehicles from living a normal life.
Rich, there is always a better way to build something, but not everyone can afford to do it that way. Love how you show the shade tree mechanic way to get things done!
Gotta love a Cummins man, especially when it's so nice and clean like that. Looks right at home in the bay of that Silverado Rich! Nothing wrong with using the tools you have to get the job done. Lots of folks could benefit from a CNC plasma table or a Flowjet but affording one is another story. Just having a Bridgeport/ lathe is so useful alone, with countless fab projects possible. One step closer to having this truck done. Thanks for the update on this project. 👍👍
I just used my Langmuir CrossFire CNC plasma table to build a tool to pull drum brakes off my Acty. I started with a hole saw, cutting in to 1/4” plate, then remembered - wait, I have a CNC Plasma! It took me about 30 minutes to design a tool, and about 5 minutes to cut it out. So useful…
Personally I love how resourceful you all with making it work with the tools you have. The timing gear cover is great. Nothing to be ashamed of. Sure there are tools make it go faster but most of us don’t have all the fancy stuff.
I love the patina on the C10 and Apache trucks and i think it fits well with all the creative solutions chosen for those builds. It should also be obvious to everyone that a 15k paintjob with hundreds of hours is nowhere near feasible for all the trucks. Keep doing what you are doing!
F them on painting the trucks man do it your way. This channel has got so much better, you'll be over a million subs before you know it. Keep up the good work brother
38:40 you could put a white DG sticker on that cover for your timing gear so that you know which orientation that goes on you can clock the cover every time you take it off and put it back on you don't have to line up the holes
An old truck with faded/rusty patina looks fantastic IMO (as long as it’s surface rust and not holes or Swiss cheese panels). You’re far more likely to drive/use something that isn’t perfect because getting a dent or scratch here and there isn’t going to ruin your day. So many guys spend tens of thousands making a car absolutely perfect, and then end up just staring at it collecting dust in the garage for fear of messing it up. I think the C10 is awesome just the way it is, turquoise/powder blue looks fantastic with the orange/brown of the rust.
love the patina! love your channel and you as a person, theres only a few channels i watch every video regardless if im interested in that days content and your channel and personality are one of them!
Nothing to be embarrassed about ! You are using your head and skills to make it work ! It actually looks great . Don't let couch potatoes bring you down . Thanks for sharing !
I like the way you do projects, because I can relate with you doing the job with what you have. I have learned so much from you because of that mentality. If you set your mind to it you can do it.
Awesome video, it was my birthday the other day and my wife bought me a set of your Deboss Garage fender covers. Super awesome gift cant wait to show em off on my ls swap landcruiser videos
The patina is amazing, and no one in the comments section owns those trucks. Do what you like, the reason we watch is because we like it too. You’re doin good Rich.
I had an argument with someone on YT about using different Manufacturers to build a vehicle. Don't remember exactly what but more than likely an LS in a Fox body. Anyway, watching you build this and the 350 just reinforces some of the recipes in my nugget. (Broke and broken Vet so that's all they'll ever be) For a work Truck it's pretty simple but probably overkill for what I need. Take an old Cuccv, drop in a MILD 12V with a 4500, and the interior, at least the seats, from a King Ranch. It'd be dead nuts reliable and pull anything you could possibly need.
Great build, my fave behind the F Tree Kitty. 🤔 I'm gonna say I disagree with the coolant bypass addition. I could be wrong, but if you measure the actual water temps at the front of the engine where it just came out the radiator and took another reading near the back of the block, you'd see not much temperature delta at all. The more water flow you have, the less delta you will see, and that's why I think it's unnecessary because the mechanical water pump on just about any engine is very high flowing. I think you'd be surprised at how close the temps are at the different positions. It would be cool to see it tested.
Oh man, that last line about getting to work on my project. I'm on the mend from surgery and I can't yet reach across the engine bay to finish hooking up the last bits of my transmission swap. I swear I'll stop sitting on the couch soon! 😅
You need a plasma torch/plasma table, a Bridgeport, and a tap arm! You can tap with the Bridgeport but tap arms are very handy! keep getting dirty and building stuff!! I appreciate your craftsmanship!
Since We are takling about Patina, and opinions are free, I would offer mine. Only 15-30% of the time I think patina is better the paint. I hate faux patina, and the rat rod thing, but I love the work done to your C10. But I would prefer a homemade paint job, since I live in a rust belt with mandatory MOT, and a little rust, in the wrong places, leads to a lot more work.
I'd almost forgotten about the Silvie. So much happening during the winter in Ontario. Now the Spring thaw is unfreezing the video flow. Don't tell Zip Ties & Bias Plies cuz he would be *STUNNED!*
3:32 CAT engine isn't in the truck so the start is around a year old, my favorite part of the video has to be that access hole for that gear that thing is overbuilt beaut
Master customizer of custom parts on a very much custom set of plans lol. Best builder on what is an actual budget build because in the states it's about 3 times as much to even approach that level of customization and that is using non modified parts lol.
Honestly I've never liked those "cat eye" GM trucks, but the looks of that truck have changed my view on that. Can't wait to see it done Rich, awesome work!
The other two trucks look awesome the way they are. No need to repaint either of them. Also check out the plasma cutter that The Jackson Brothers got. It can cut 2" thick.
@Deboss Garge You should of oringed your head and tapped all the freezer plugs in your head with set screws . The pressure spikes in the coolant will blow one out and mix with your oil. You could do both yourself in a Bridgeport style knee mill .
I like the patina. I prefer something to be mechanically perfect before visually perfect. Plus, then you can just enjoy driving it and not have to spend every waking minute keeping the paint clean and crying over a chip or scuff.
That's a pretty sweet setup Rich! I have a buddy he's got the cummins school bus engine with that same air pump in his 94 Chevy four-door dually it's quite a noisy Beast. Last year he had that timing plate break and I think he went with the Billet
i just love it when people say, "it doesnt need a block heater or to be plugged in it starts just fine." Yeah but its also to reduce the stress on the engine.
Great work as always, but it's insane how far you went to avoid wasting the paint you already sprayed on the timing cover. Hindsight is 2020 but seriously the billet cover would have been the way to go.
I got a 24v common rail in an 04 ram. Im trying to learn about these fuel systems = power. I understand the pump is different on your model, very tricky.
I never thought I needed a block heater in my Kubota farm tractor either then we had a cold snap so cold that the oil got too viscous to really crank. You get cold enough and all diesels struggle right? I had to blast a space heater on the oil pan for 30 minutes and it started right up, but I think I’ll throw a block heater in quick anyway.
I love the patina! Patina is part of the reason I bought my '83 Dodge D150, the other part is that it's a factory slant 6 manual with manual steering, oh yeah and it was relatively cheap at $1,500
always great videos and informative content and i am running afc live in my p pumped 24v with compounts and tons of other work its awesome you will love it!
Loving this swap ! I have you on my t.v. and if l look away, ( wife likely asked me something) l have my phone playing on my other side so when l look at her, l can watch you in the phone ! How is that for subscribed and lock in ! I may want a 4-cylinder cummins swap into my wife's rig ? It would have to be 400 + H.P. and good torque ! Keep up the incredible work ! We need more like you 👍🏻. I am patiently waiting to see all you trucks and cars drive, long distance ! Let's have a swap run ! We are in ! ✌🏻🌤🤘🇨🇦, Ontario 🍁.

The "why does the ford get a bus engine I want a bus engine" gets me everytime 🤣🤣🤣
I sing this all the time
Facts
True true
Yessss lol
Is it not a boss engine? I'm pretty sure it is
Just in case someone hasn't mentioned it yet, the bypass on the back of the head is to give the hot coolant back there a way out. It is returned to the lower radiator hose housing because that is the suction side.
Correct it’s an outtie, not an innie…
and missing paint on the block.
Rich, every time you build a truck I’m like “This is the coolest truck of all time!” Then you’re all “Hold my Tim Hortons.”
As much as a shiny new paint job is...leaving a nice patina on an older truck just lends the ride more character.
Especially since those old truck bodies are old and crunchy like that. To get them back to a point where you’d want to spend the money on a paint job you’d be spending stupid money to get the metal right then you’d be afraid to drive them!
Totally agree with the above posts. I think the patina looks awesome and 'authentic' the way it is.
It’s a truck, trucks (like men) are supposed to have scars.
And then you can't drive it!
How do you keep it all straight lol. So many awesome builds going on! Thanks for the variety.
it's nice to completely forget about one projects and shift gears into another
I bet a high quality video history helps
Some of us love the patina! Just keep doing what you do, great content!
I disagree with the comments, I like the patina look of the old Fifties Truck. I think it looks great, I wouldn't paint it.

It doesn't bother me, I just find it funny. We have just about every kind of build, if you don't like one, wait a week for another.

Greetings from BC! Great stuff!
Thank you very much!

Great video 👍One of the reasons people watch your videos is you build repair etc with what you got with the tools you got no BS 😊
After looking at my P pump 12 valve all these years, that 24 valve P pump looks really GREAT!
I just used my Langmuir CrossFire CNC plasma table to build a tool to pull drum brakes off my Acty. I started with a hole saw, cutting in to 1/4” plate, then remembered - wait, I have a CNC Plasma! It took me about 30 minutes to design a tool, and about 5 minutes to cut it out. So useful…
The patina on the C10 is perfect. Screw the haters.
whoever says to paint the c10 has poor taste. the patina is perfect! good job rich, keep it up
Personally I love how resourceful you all with making it work with the tools you have. The timing gear cover is great. Nothing to be ashamed of. Sure there are tools make it go faster but most of us don’t have all the fancy stuff.
Love the fact that you respect patina builds and full on builds too. Keep up the good work.
I love the patina on the C10 and Apache trucks and i think it fits well with all the creative solutions chosen for those builds. It should also be obvious to everyone that a 15k paintjob with hundreds of hours is nowhere near feasible for all the trucks. Keep doing what you are doing!

I always loved these gen chevys. Uncle had a 2500 6.0l great truck. Cant imagine the 24v version such a cool truck.
Glad to get the shout out on the WD40 on the knife blade tip 😊
Thanks buddy! I try to read most of the comments as most of them are positive and helpful
Wow that adjustable timing gear cover was probably the coolest part of this project to me. That just worked so well
38:40 you could put a white DG sticker on that cover for your timing gear so that you know which orientation that goes on you can clock the cover every time you take it off and put it back on you don't have to line up the holes
I did notch the top, but that makes sense
An old truck with faded/rusty patina looks fantastic IMO (as long as it’s surface rust and not holes or Swiss cheese panels).
You’re far more likely to drive/use something that isn’t perfect because getting a dent or scratch here and there isn’t going to ruin your day.

I like the way you do projects, because I can relate with you doing the job with what you have. I have learned so much from you because of that mentality. If you set your mind to it you can do it.
Thats awesome. That"s my truck in the PDD install video you talked about.
The ingenuity in each and every project is just freaking mind blowing. Love it!
Awesome video, it was my birthday the other day and my wife bought me a set of your Deboss Garage fender covers. Super awesome gift cant wait to show em off on my ls swap landcruiser videos

I had an argument with someone on YT about using different Manufacturers to build a vehicle. Don't remember exactly what but more than likely an LS in a Fox body.

(Broke and broken Vet so that's all they'll ever be) For a work Truck it's pretty simple but probably overkill for what I need.

The Petipa makes the truck bad ass and authentic. DO NOT PaINT IT. Please. Patina is Perfect. Love your content big bossG

Loving the hip hop beat during the Cummings take apart bit
I really like how creative you are when it comes to these builds it’s definitely inspiring!
the patina is excellent the artist that did the work is excellent. no big gaping rust holes or dents. i love it.
So happy to see work getting done on this truck!
Not everyone wants everything pristine and perfect. Make it mechanically great and leave the exterior full of character.
Save your family $15k and have it running 10 years sooner.
Painting those trucks would be a dishonor to them they look absolutely beautiful the way they are!!
I missed that intro "Why is the Ford getting a bus engine?! I WANT A BUS ENGINE!!" 🤣
Oh man, that last line about getting to work on my project. I'm on the mend from surgery and I can't yet reach across the engine bay to finish hooking up the last bits of my transmission swap. I swear I'll stop sitting on the couch soon! 😅
Get better soon Colton!
i admire your fabrication skills. the skill and imagination that you have is one of a kind.
because of your review i want to get b-quiet for my truck i was curious how much do you typically go through on a single cab pickup interior
The front cover actually looks really good for just something you whipped up out of some old parts haha❤❤❤
Patina it up! Both the Apache and the C10 are beautiful works of art. If certain critics don't like it, they can go view a different gallery.
"Use what you have" is a better example to most of your audience than buying expensive tools - in my opinion anyway. Great work.👍
You need a plasma torch/plasma table, a Bridgeport, and a tap arm! You can tap with the Bridgeport but tap arms are very handy!
keep getting dirty and building stuff!! I appreciate your craftsmanship!
Thanks for making it easier to relate but your talent is on another level
Your ability to create is your greatest tool/skill, you have a great vision for a project a skills to match
Please take the fender flares off. It looks so much cleaner without them. Not to mention they will wear into that brand new paint job
Since We are takling about Patina, and opinions are free, I would offer mine.
Only 15-30% of the time I think patina is better the paint.
I hate faux patina, and the rat rod thing, but I love the work done to your C10.
But I would prefer a homemade paint job, since I live in a rust belt with mandatory MOT, and a little rust, in the wrong places, leads to a lot more work.
my favorite truck on this channel. lots of sentimental value.
I'd almost forgotten about the Silvie. So much happening during the winter in Ontario. Now the Spring thaw is unfreezing the video flow. Don't tell Zip Ties & Bias Plies cuz he would be *STUNNED!*

People say the patina on the c10 is ugly ? Are they crazy ?
The patina and Mike's work are perfect, they fit the truck marvelously !
Happy Easter Rich & family! Love the video 🎉🎉
Honestly I've never liked those "cat eye" GM trucks, but the looks of that truck have changed my view on that. Can't wait to see it done Rich, awesome work!
Very nice. The black and white looks awesome
The other two trucks look awesome the way they are. No need to repaint either of them. Also check out the plasma cutter that The Jackson Brothers got. It can cut 2" thick.
@Deboss Garge You should of oringed your head and tapped all the freezer plugs in your head with set screws . The pressure spikes in the coolant will blow one out and mix with your oil. You could do both yourself in a Bridgeport style knee mill .
That motor looks sweet with the white accents!
I have been following you form the start keep up the good work
I like the patina. I prefer something to be mechanically perfect before visually perfect. Plus, then you can just enjoy driving it and not have to spend every waking minute keeping the paint clean and crying over a chip or scuff.
Gonna be a great summer! Thanks Rich
That's a pretty sweet setup Rich! I have a buddy he's got the cummins school bus engine with that same air pump in his 94 Chevy four-door dually it's quite a noisy Beast. Last year he had that timing plate break and I think he went with the Billet
i just love it when people say, "it doesnt need a block heater or to be plugged in it starts just fine." Yeah but its also to reduce the stress on the engine.
Your such a hard worker Rich. I admire your work ethic
I love the patina on the c10. Personally and I’m not usually a patina guy.
Engine looks fantastic! Great job Rich a good finish to an Easter Sunday.
Better tools free’s time in which More time for the build’s potentially More Build’s!!! Level up! Love the Channel excited for the future
That timing gear cover needs a DG logo on it
Awesome builds this one is so cool can't wait to see it get rolling under its own power!!
Great work as always, but it's insane how far you went to avoid wasting the paint you already sprayed on the timing cover. Hindsight is 2020 but seriously the billet cover would have been the way to go.
I got a 24v common rail in an 04 ram. Im trying to learn about these fuel systems = power. I understand the pump is different on your model, very tricky.
6:45 wow! The Case IH 9350 Steiger trans! That was on DGHD a year ago!
Ive got a p-pump 24v. I put in my 67 k20. Been running it for about 10 years now. It hates transmissions and rear tires. 😂
patina looks amazing!
I would see a logo in that alu plate.. you make ot look simple, but its alot of work there..good job
Tell the trailer riders to kick rocks. Those trucks look amazing!
Rich, the custom cover you made should have DBG jewel milled into it. That's your design, man. Keep up this awesome content. Aloha🤙🏼
Thanks! I should look into that for sure
@DEBOSS GARAGE I forgot to tell you that a P-pumped 24 valve sounds exactly like a p-pumped 12 valve. Why?
You need to get that stormtrooper outfit ordered soon Rich to match the car.
Best comment so far!
Here we go waiting anxiously for the next videos of this Silverado greatness of Cummins
Nice to see the Silverado get some love again :)
You definitely need to pin dial that injection pump. Never time a p-pump with that pin that comes with the pump. It could be up to 20 degrees off.
Hey Deboss. The oval holes in the door hinge bracket for the bushing/pin. What is the easiest way to fix that?
Replace them with new hinges.
WHATTTT? Come on guys, keep doing you Rich! Your projects and content are great.
Everything will finish just as the weather is finally ready to go 👍
I never thought I needed a block heater in my Kubota farm tractor either then we had a cold snap so cold that the oil got too viscous to really crank. You get cold enough and all diesels struggle right? I had to blast a space heater on the oil pan for 30 minutes and it started right up, but I think I’ll throw a block heater in quick anyway.
Absolutely the best whine! "I want a bus engine!" LOL!!
I'm jealous of the patinas because being from newfoundland patina means major rust holes and structural issues lol
Same here, we have to go to California
I love the patina! Patina is part of the reason I bought my '83 Dodge D150, the other part is that it's a factory slant 6 manual with manual steering, oh yeah and it was relatively cheap at $1,500
always great videos and informative content and i am running afc live in my p pumped 24v with compounts and tons of other work its awesome you will love it!
I can't wait!
The power driven diesel AFC foot they sell already comes 1/8” short for full fueling for anyone wondering.
9:58 wow stepping on some toes there😅😅
I am once again thanking you for giving us the Silverado
Sometimes you got to just treat yourself to new tools. Upgrades help more down the road than you can imagine rn.
Some good progress on your vehicles
Loving this swap ! I have you on my t.v. and if l look away, ( wife likely asked me something) l have my phone playing on my other side so when l look at her, l can watch you in the phone ! How is that for subscribed and lock in ! I may want a 4-cylinder cummins swap into my wife's rig ? It would have to be 400 + H.P. and good torque !
Keep up the incredible work !
We need more like you 👍🏻.
I am patiently waiting to see all you trucks and cars drive, long distance ! Let's have a swap run ! We are in !
