I just finished building the fuel system, transmission, and engine. It's no longer LS1 but it's a gen 4 6.0 LQ9 with some go fast mods. Imma do an update video.
@@jnork5005 just watched your new video. That is one clean truck and a hell of a nice drivetrain build. I’m sure it smokes the tires off just as well as mine does lol when you said tired of putting money into for it right now….I sure felt that lol
@@andrewayersman6923 lol. I go through phases. Right now, I'm finished. I want to do vintage air and run that BMR front and rear coilover setup but I gotta chill it awhile.
Man that is a beautiful truck…..nice build…i have a similar one but white and its a ‘73 with a vortech supercharged 5.3……i like that seat idea…i might have to look into doing that……mine has a terminator X system with a 220/220 cam , 3000 stalled th350 with 12 bolt 3.73 rear….it scoots….i have a 370” LQ9 that im gonna put in there once i finish building my 408 to replace the 370” thats in my nova…its a 11.15:1 compression LSA supercharged motor and it runs like hell!!!
The only thing I would do Is put some 2 inch wider and 2 inch taller tires on deep dish 15x10s, but... Would I sit there in person and think to say that... Lol , no, I would be drooling and trying to hide my chub.... Badass truck dude.
I think the wheel and tire package would have been fine it I had a larger tire. I've since changed the wheels to Bassett Inertia with 275/60/15's all around. Looks pretty sporty. I have a newer video where you can see it.
Building an 82 GMC Sierra just like it, only has single headlights. Put in a dbw stock 6.0 and a 4L80E. Thinking about putting on a hydrovac brake booster, have a couple of them.
If I did it over I'd use a 2 stage system and spray it with a satin clear instead of a single stage urethane. I'm running Basset race wheels now, but I like the smoothies or stock dog dish look
Mine was an hight Sierra 81 locking the same with 4 beam in the front and a car bumper in the rear but with huge rubber at each corner and with electric windows. I should have keep it 🥰🤑
@@jnork5005 That's great bro, so many guys invest in their rides then sell them for whatever reason. I have an OBS....92, I'll have it til I check out!!
That’s clean man. I’m building one on my TH-cam channel as well. It’s a GMC as well same year and I’m putting a 6.0/4L80e BTR stage 2 cam. I picked it up rattle canned matte black but I want to get it painted with a satin finish.
Nice. I just built this 4L60E with all 4L70 internals and added the Sonnax close ratio 6 pinion planetary and added a couple clutches to the 3-4 drum and made a bunch of pressure modifications. I hope it holds up 😬. If you do it, use a base coat/clear coat and use a satin clear. Easier to lay than this single stage. Good luck with it! Hard to find these trucks now.
Beautiful fkin truck buddy, saw the thumbnail and it drew me right in, had an 83 all black w a 454 in my teens but unfortunately she rolled once or twice, wasn't as nice tho. Seeesh 🤩🤤
If u never got a antenna man I got one u can have I have a 1982 gmc long bed the daddy to urs it’s a 2500 long bed with 454 beast black on black but u got a badassssss truck too
My dad has an 86' K10 we are going to start working on after the first of the year. So I might throw up some video of it too. I just finished rebuilding the drive line and rewiring mine. I'll do a video soon.
I used the factory frame and welded brackets for the new seat to bolt to. I'm 6'3 so I didn't need any adjusters and mounted it solid to the floor. It still flips forward to get behind the seat tho
Are you going to boost it? I ran a boosted 5.3 that melted #7 piston twice on 93 Oct. Narrowed it down to the coolant cross over. Truck motors don't have a crossover and I had an air pocket and melted that piston twice pointed at the water jacket. Also, tune it for E85 and you won't regret it.
They were 17x9, Jegs Baja 8's I think. Something like that. I bought some Basset Race Wheels and have a different setup now. I should be posting a video soon after I get this motor assembled.
It's hard to say. Depends on a lot of variables. My truck is torn down again. I'm in the process of building the turbo hot side piping and T56 swap. So it'd be awhile before I could get to it. I'm in Florida also
@JNork I heard you say that you do tuning and I was wonder info you hand a contact info for some business? Also if you don't mind what is the camshaft part number?
I don't have the part number but it's the "Tsunami" camshaft from Texas Speed. I don't typically do tunes on any past Bolton. It gets too time consuming and a lot of people aren't good mechanics so I end up troubleshooting all their problems. Lol
@@jnork5005 th-cam.com/video/8hzJ_XgSSdE/w-d-xo.html this is my car with the conventional motor in it. I want to swap it that why I was asking about the tuning. I did all my work.
@jnork5005 it's a great looking stance! What was the drop? More I thought about it I don't want to slam it.. I'm looking to do a shackle and hanger only drop in the rear I can get 4 inches out of that mostly because I want all the travel. For the front just a 3 inch drop spindle
@fr3k5h0w it's 4/6. Spindle and cut springs up front and a flip kit in the rear. I'm running 15x8 op front and 15x10 in the rear with 275/60/15s all the way around. I have a video or 2 with that setup on my page. I like that look more
@jnork5005 oh yeah man, lots of rubber and width. I do like that as well but I don't want to lower it too much. Also don't like too much wheel gap is why I'm choosing 17's with decent meat on em. Going between a 3/4 drop with spindles/shackles and hangers Vs flip kit and spindles with lowering springs but I'd like to retain all the suspension travel. Leaning with no flip kit
@@jnork5005 i understand carbs grew up using them and they work better for me the only computer i use is the MSD box to run the coil pacs man for me i prefer carb over injection anyday but thats just me.
@@jnork5005 see for me thats why i like carbs man because i know them and they are easy for me but if u like the injection and understand it man i would stick with it nothing wrong with it
4/6 drop. Flip kit in the rear, 2" spindle with a cut coil up front. Bilstein shocks, don't remember the part numbers. Comfortable better than stock ride.
@JNork Thanks sir. That makes a lot of sense actually. I did a beltech 4/6 drop as well with rear flip kit. My issue was the front sat too high. Knowing that you cut your coils makes sense. Love the stance.
Either Amazon or Ebay. I want to say they were around 80bux. You have to get longer screws for the beauty rings and the fit into the stock bucket. You will also have to run harness adapters to use your stock chassis harness. They are super nice though
@@therhinoic9159 I just looked in my order history off eBay, the auction is no longer active. They're 4x6 LED headlights. You might be able to search up something similar
This is a beautiful truck. Honestly it looks stunning with the way it is now without paint. Very nice job!
The third row seat is a great idea!! 💡 it looks custom made for it!
The fact after all the work, you left the same door chime makes you a boss.
Are you pleased with the results? Looks good on video
@Adrian Wright I love it. I did a build a while back, and trust me, I did everything I could to keep the door chime just to through people off.
This is probably my favorite interior that I’ve seen on a square body.
Simple and clean
I’m not always the biggest fan of black paint jobs but that looks sharp! Beautiful pickup
Honestly, I would if chose white but I didn't want to repaint the dash 😆
Looks good just the way it is. It doesn't need any trim
Looks good I just got me one and I can’t wait to fix her up thanks for sharing your ideas .🔥🔥🔥
Sounds really good! I love the Black widows on my square body!!

Just chip away at it. 1 small project at a time. It took be 3 years to get it on the road. It's down again and I'm swapping in a manual transmission.
this is a peace of art no joke the looks are insane I like it

What seats did you bolt to the OEM seat fram, and are they comfortable on long drives?
I've taken it on 3-4 hr rides and it's fine if you like a firm seat like I do. It's the 3rd row seat out of a 2014ish Tahoe
Can you tell me what year Tahoe the seat is out of? Thanks.
2015 I think. I think the rear seat out of a crew cab 2014 up silverado would fit better since the back isn't tall.

I just cut and pounded the center of the bracket flat. Made tabs and mine fit right it. Not my favorite way of doing it but it works.
Got an 87 6.0 myself
Where did you get those headlights I have to know
Either Amazon or Ebay. I want to say they were around 80bux. You have to get longer screws for the beauty rings and the fit into the stock bucket. You will also have to run harness adapters to use your stock chassis harness. They are super nice though
like that matte black
Where did you get the LED headlights ? Wanting some for my ‘87
I got them from Amazon. I recommend the harness jumpers to go with them so you don't have to modify your chassis harness.
