I have a request. Cut your shorts to daisy dukes length and wear them in a video without acknowledging it. If this cannot be done, simply give me 6 easy reasons that it's not doable. Your move.
Your intros are always so 🔥! I can't think of any other TH-camr I watch who puts that much time/effort into unique, mood setting intros for each upload.
Love the truck vids. I love your videos because of the variety of content. I don't care what you are doing, I will still watch just to watch you doing your thing.
I was waiting for the sparks from the mig welder to light them seats up. I caught some seats on fire once and they go up fast and HOT! Good job, they look great.
Really like the truck. I know you said you were adding gauges, and also in another video you mentioned getting a suncoast transmission at some point. Regardless of stock or modified transmission though, I would recommend a trans temp gauge as soon as you can get to it, especially towing in the florida heat. The non lockup converter in the first gen's will build more heat than the later transmissions that have the lockup converter. Once you have a trans temp gauge you can go from there on whether or not you need more cooling. Sometimes im surprised at how hot mine get just sitting in a drive through in drive for a couple minutes. Another thing ill mention. If your transmission seems healthy at the moment, go ahead and buy a low stall converter, and do a transgo shift kit. And go ahead with a billet apply lever, anchor and strut kit which is needed once you up the line pressure. Buy the suncoast converter if you're going with them later on, that way all they have to do is clean it and install in your new trans if they do a build for you. The transgo kit is less than $100. Your truck will pull much much better, especially with a load. I like a pretty low stall converter in a cummins because they make a ton of torque down low and you can actually make use of it that way. The reason I mention this is because it may save you the money of a rebuild if it doesn't need it. My 94, I have owned since 2003 makes pretty decent power and I have yet to rebuild the transmission. I feel like this is due to the upgraded converter and valve body I did early on. You can watch some of my video's, I dont baby the truck and the trans has held up really well. My 01 dually I bought with a burnt up transmission and built it myself with aftermarket parts. Great channel, really enjoy your videos!
they sell new replacement lids for those on ebay/amazon. i have a 2000 silverado, and love those seats, really are comfortable. love the console/arm rest. i flew out and bought my truck and drove it back 8hrs no problem. so good choice.
i dont know if you get the comments off your old videos but this one takes the cake dude chevy seats in a dodge lol im going to the junk yard saturday to find a pair for my 2007 ram dodge seats break down pretty quick and it dont take as much fabricating as i thought floors in my second gen are flatter ill try get some pics of it when im done ill put it in instagram thank you for your videos
i’ve been keeping up with your channel for a while and just bought a 1st gen and i was looking to upgrade the bench of course you’ve done it already! haha so rad thanks for the video
I've had an identical seat as yours in my 2nd gen standard cab for the last 14 years...best upgrade I've ever made! Seat foam is still great and gained like 3 inches of leg room, plus two more cup holders for a total of 5, yup its a stick shift!
Dude I love your channel and all the work you do but I really wish you shopped around alittle more for seats that broken center console wouldn’t cut it for that 1st gen is way too sweet for those tweeker seats
I have a set of seats like that in my Silverado and the console lid broke also. It was impossible to find a used replacement because they all break. An oem replacement was real expensive so I lived with it broken for years but now you can get one aftermarket for a reasonable price.
Mods to the truck like valve springs. head studs, push rods gauges cool stuff lol and definetly the killer dowl pin block off plate so your engine wont gernade on you
do NOT leave the sets tec screwed in!! in the case of an accident, the only thing holding you in that seat is not the seat belt, but the screws! drill bigger holes and put bolts in!
Personally I enjoy the way your truck looks, no need to dump money into the aesthetics. But I wouldn't mind more videos on it, performance wise. Keep it up bud!
I love Chevy truck seats. I miss my truck so much. I could do long road trips with ease. I got a e90 now and while yes it has all the creature comforts. I know I would hate it on a long trip. I need another Chevy 1500.
Thanks for making this video, been debating on doing a seat swap as well. The bench seat is super uncomfortable for long drives as you said. Would you do the Chevy seats again - having done the swap now? I know they make buckets for first gen rams - they're just hard to find. As for future things to do with the truck - gauges for sure!! Air bags for the rear if you don't have them already. Headlight mod/replacement if they're stock - I just did some Hella H4 E Codes on mine!
I have solid steel frame mount front and rear bumpers on my farm for a 1st gen dodge. we built a mud truck and removed the bumpers. interested? they are pretty aggressive looking and would set off that grey paint
Dodge seats are ok for long trips, my 99 Durango has buckets in the front and a bench in the rear and it isn't too bad if you have blankets and pillows in the back seats.
Taylor instead of getting a lid just find a new center console entirely and update your install. Almost all of those 60/40 bench seats consoles are broken in some way. The lever and the lid just have their little issues that cause them to break but it's probably simpler to get an entire new junkyard console that is better.
Awesome cheap upgrade for the truck. I wish I could make it up for the spring break bash. But I've got plans. Glad to see you're still making progress on the Miata as well.
I would like to see a nice sound deadener video. Putting sound deadener in one of those tin can single cab trucks would really help with the comfort over distance of the truck. Anywhere from like ducting insulation to lizard skin would make for a cool project.
Taylor the seats looks great in your truck what’s next rims and tires or a lift kit or just a leveling kit my son has the same truck he put the leveling kit up front and he put the Chevy hummer wheels on his and they fit he just can’t use the The center cover to cover up the Lugnuts because this is a four-wheel-drive like yours 😊👍
Taylor your a great welder for just staring out I’m only 20 and I have been doing it since I could hold a mig gun. Your mig welds on your Chevy seats are good if I have any say your welds are good on the heat and all but I think you should go a little slower and take out some heat. Just a thought I don’t know a lot but I know some you are definitely succeeding way beyond what I thought a beginner fabricator could do keep up the great work. Shoutout bro Causey on insta.
I ordered a replacement center console lid and hinge off RockAuto pretty cheap for my Silverado dunno if you want to go that route or just go to the junkyard and try and find one in good shape but thought I'd offer the info. All the truck vids man suspension and paint for sure maybe some bumpers?
I have to use a p.o. box cause USPS wants to save money and not pay a mail man in my town. Then they force me to pay for a p.o. box. Double dipping sweet deal for them. Sweet video love the shout outs to Matt from sloppy
Try and find a 2007 and up chevy or gmc center console they have a storage compartment under the bottom so double storage and usually they aren't too tore up. AGearHead4Life has a video about them he posted a while back. Hopefully that'll help
You should have looked for a similar truck.. Sometimes ford chevy amd dodge use the same seat pattern... For example honda does this with the civics almost every seat from a civic can be changed to a newer/older version
I have a PO box but thats because I don’t wanna pay the shipping fees to ship things from America to Canada. I live in a border city so it makes sense for me to drive over the bridge and pick up my packages.
The amount of effort that goes into one of Taylor’s videos is madddd
the intro was literally a Makita advertisement...
+Computer-Chkn Milwaukee*
I think everyone should love a single cab first gen cummins
Love the truck and trailer videos! The truck and trailer are just as important as the racecar and no one talks abot them. Keep them coming.
I love how budget friendly an real you are. Keep up the good work!
I have a request. Cut your shorts to daisy dukes length and wear them in a video without acknowledging it. If this cannot be done, simply give me 6 easy reasons that it's not doable. Your move.
Damn Taylor, great job on the seats. And I know what you mean about long drives on a shitty bench seat. 1977 Nova. 🤕
I love seeing the truck getting some upgrades, one of my fav projects tbh, it’s a nice change from the drift car stuff
Your intros are always so 🔥! I can't think of any other TH-camr I watch who puts that much time/effort into unique, mood setting intros for each upload.
Best part of this video is Taylor’s cut off jean shorts.
sound deadening, adjust the doors for wind noise, fix any rattles, and fix any "sound" related things and itll make it feel a lot nicer to drive
Love the truck vids. I love your videos because of the variety of content. I don't care what you are doing, I will still watch just to watch you doing your thing.
budget mods are my new favorite thing. love the vid
Why would I find this interesting? Oh because Taylor made it, bloody great dude
Taylor Ray this is you at your best. Fabulous video. Congratulations. Really happy for you. Love from UK.
I like you making things work out, even they seem un doable! Keep up de good work! Dutch regards.
I was waiting for the sparks from the mig welder to light them seats up. I caught some seats on fire once and they go up fast and HOT! Good job, they look great.
Wow, the arrangement in that milwauke tool set is staggering!
Good videos taylor! The time and effort you put in for 2 second clips make the whole video better. Work hard, play hard!

Just commenting on every vid to help Taylor out ... Nutty content
Yo Taylor, edits are looking hella crisp, music cuts are on point. The hard works looking lit!
I need a 1st gen in my life!
Mikkie Goswell
Don’t we all, 😆
YAAAYYY TRUCK STUFF! Nah for real though. I love the car videos but any vid involving either the ramcharger or your truck are my favorites lol.
they sell new replacement lids for those on ebay/amazon.
i have a 2000 silverado, and love those seats, really are comfortable. love the console/arm rest. i flew out and bought my truck and drove it back 8hrs no problem. so good choice.

andy mccalvin what’s your Instagram
andy mccalvin
is my instagram name
2007 is a 3rd gen lol stop lying you dont own a cummins
You could always notch the foam to fit the door. When the door is closed it would fill the gap and add back the removed support...
I really dig these type of mod. Just flat out making it work!! Great video!
i’ve been keeping up with your channel for a while and just bought a 1st gen and i was looking to upgrade the bench of course you’ve done it already! haha so rad thanks for the video
They look so AWESOME! Hell yeah man you should definitely do it up nice, new suspension, paint and wheels!
I've had an identical seat as yours in my 2nd gen standard cab for the last 14 years...best upgrade I've ever made! Seat foam is still great and gained like 3 inches of leg room, plus two more cup holders for a total of 5, yup its a stick shift!
Dude I love your channel and all the work you do but I really wish you shopped around alittle more for seats that broken center console wouldn’t cut it for that 1st gen is way too sweet for those tweeker seats
Make a mount for a ice box in the middle, chuck some foam on the lid and you have a perfect road fridge centre console.
I have a set of seats like that in my Silverado and the console lid broke also. It was impossible to find a used replacement because they all break. An oem replacement was real expensive so I lived with it broken for years but now you can get one aftermarket for a reasonable price.
It's 20 to 1 am rn, thanks for keeping me up taylor, but fuck me I love your videos
I put Acura rsx seats into my 79 camaro and it's such a nice upgrade.
Looks ten times better taylor well done!
Taylor your videos just keep getting better and better. Loving the videos man. keep up the good work.
You sparked another great idea here Taylor. $80 and some mechanical inclination, that’s pretty affordable for new seats.
Have those seats in my Duramax and love them!
Nothing like driving a big diesel and sitting in a recliner!
I really like your videos man you can tell they have effort put into them your pretty funny and have good taste in pickups i might add lol
Mods to the truck like valve springs. head studs, push rods gauges cool stuff lol and definetly the killer dowl pin block off plate so your engine wont gernade on you
do NOT leave the sets tec screwed in!! in the case of an accident, the only thing holding you in that seat is not the seat belt, but the screws! drill bigger holes and put bolts in!
I bolted the seats in. Self tapered the center console.
oh okay, good stuff. i must have missed it.
Taylor! I got a center console from a 08 Chevy in my 2000 Chevy. Its a way nicer console. Makes the interior look a lot better also
Your videos are the best right now
I love the fact that you left the gun rack in!
Personally I enjoy the way your truck looks, no need to dump money into the aesthetics. But I wouldn't mind more videos on it, performance wise. Keep it up bud!
its a 01 through 07 center bench console lid you can get the cheap offline and ive seen then in stock at autozone or advance
I love Chevy truck seats. I miss my truck so much. I could do long road trips with ease. I got a e90 now and while yes it has all the creature comforts. I know I would hate it on a long trip. I need another Chevy 1500.
Your welds are looking great Taylor, Good stuff man
Good job with those seats. That's a rewardful feeling I bet.
Thanks for making this video, been debating on doing a seat swap as well. The bench seat is super uncomfortable for long drives as you said. Would you do the Chevy seats again - having done the swap now? I know they make buckets for first gen rams - they're just hard to find. As for future things to do with the truck - gauges for sure!! Air bags for the rear if you don't have them already. Headlight mod/replacement if they're stock - I just did some Hella H4 E Codes on mine!
Also highly recommend the BD Diesel 16cm turbo housing! Mine was a 21cm and super laggy. It helped with spool up and makes the driving better. :)
I have a 02 Chevy with these seats and I love them it’s my favorite thing about the interior lol so comfy
I have solid steel frame mount front and rear bumpers on my farm for a 1st gen dodge. we built a mud truck and removed the bumpers. interested? they are pretty aggressive looking and would set off that grey paint
The 'Headrest' is there for when someone hits your from the behind your head falls back into it and prevents snapping your neck
another good truck mod would be sulastic shackles for thr rear. they provide a half ton ride but still will hold the load of the 1 ton leafs
Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more of the truck!
Dope videos. Also with the saw zaw or grinder/ any power tools you gotta make sure the tool is fully stopped before removing the tool from the cut.
Awesome video man! Pretty sick seeing the truck get fixed up and comfortable
I have those seats in my silverado, their sooo comfy! And they look oem in that interior too!
Dodge seats are ok for long trips, my 99 Durango has buckets in the front and a bench in the rear and it isn't too bad if you have blankets and pillows in the back seats.
You need some new tires soon
Crown Vic seats are super comfortable
Reflect Detailing if you own one and you're over 6 feet like me, you get pain in your lower back after sitting in them for a while
+QCetnar I second this. I drove a crown Vic for a day and yeah not comfy haha
Man you have the dopest intros!
Taylor instead of getting a lid just find a new center console entirely and update your install. Almost all of those 60/40 bench seats consoles are broken in some way. The lever and the lid just have their little issues that cause them to break but it's probably simpler to get an entire new junkyard console that is better.
best intros of the whole adam's friends lot and better than adam's ones too obviously
Awesome cheap upgrade for the truck. I wish I could make it up for the spring break bash. But I've got plans. Glad to see you're still making progress on the Miata as well.
Your welding is looking much better 👍
Do whatever to need to do to get it to place to place with no problems that should be number one
Hell yeah. Truck content. Love that dodge
Fabricate a bad ass wheel rack for the bed area and some work lamps to it too, create the ultimate drift support truck
I would like to see a nice sound deadener video. Putting sound deadener in one of those tin can single cab trucks would really help with the comfort over distance of the truck. Anywhere from like ducting insulation to lizard skin would make for a cool project.
Taylor the seats looks great in your truck what’s next rims and tires or a lift kit or just a leveling kit my son has the same truck he put the leveling kit up front and he put the Chevy hummer wheels on his and they fit he just can’t use the The center cover to cover up the Lugnuts because this is a four-wheel-drive like yours 😊👍

Take it off-roading that’s be sick! Love the vids keep up the good work
Taylor one that I would do is test for them in the junk yard in a another first gen to see if they will work
I ordered a replacement center console lid and hinge off RockAuto pretty cheap for my Silverado dunno if you want to go that route or just go to the junkyard and try and find one in good shape but thought I'd offer the info. All the truck vids man suspension and paint for sure maybe some bumpers?

Love all truck and trailer videos keep them coming!
Luv all ur videos man. Keep moding the first gen and have fun.
I honestly like the truck more without the centre console but then again when I’m driving I really enjoy having the arm rest.
That truck would look SICK all white.
U can buy the lid for the center seat on Amazon there actually pretty decent I bought on for my 01 silver I’m building and it fit perfectly
Window tint ! Maybe a small speaker box as a center console
Try and find a 2007 and up chevy or gmc center console they have a storage compartment under the bottom so double storage and usually they aren't too tore up. AGearHead4Life has a video about them he posted a while back. Hopefully that'll help

Just got the drivers like that for my 2004 gmc. Their amazing
FINALLY SOME TRUCK
Love the gun rack behind the seat
THIS IS MY JAM!
This is the first video I'm gonna watch to see if I should make this my new car youtuber.
Man i fricking love this channel! thank you Taylor!
The music was outstanding again. Dope. Also really good video and the po box bit was funny
By far my favorite TH-camr. Liking comments and stuff... thats seriously cool
Make that truck your own...i liked the video
Love this truck. Great video. I’d love to see more truck content.
order one of those lids for the console off of amazon i ordeed one for the tahoe i had its cheap too
Matthew Coker same for my Chevy wasn’t all expensive and was still good quality
Loved this video Taylor! Keep it up!
Damn Taylor !! Nice taste in tools seen those Knipex pliers 💪
Love my Knipex and Milwaukee !
Bedliner would be cool to see you do, digging the longer videos
Yay a seat video!
