I’m a bit of a wiring snob too. Like to see it done extremely neat. Never used one on those hammer crimper thingys...always soldered the ends. I’ll have to get one and give it a try......
I just cut the side post cables today on my GMC and used some O'Reilly's special quick disconnect's .. so the come with crimp connectors that fit the ground fine-ish but the frigging positive was 2 gauge so it's like half-assed not fitting AND I didn't have red heat shrink so I'm really disgusted with the results but it's way better than the stripped threads and crappy connector side-post... I gotta get one of those smash connector tools
Great wiring. I love watching a master at his work. This is a pretty cool truck and everything, but what happened to the Big Block? I like Small Blocks alright, in fact, I chose a '70 LT-1 for my own '70 C10. But part of the over-the-top fun of Truck Norris was the 540 cu. in. BBC.
Use 69 Camaro headers instead of the 67-87 Chevy truck headers. They tuck up much tighter to the under body without creating other clearance issues. You won't have to see exhaust pipes dangling underneath the truck and it won't drag on steep driveways.
I'd really like to ask about the exciter wire from the starter to the alternator,I understand the bolt for positive on the ALT,but where do you fit the wire to on the starter? Bloody awesome show,cheers from australia
You could put Sluggo in the vice horizontally and accomplish the same results possibly? Lol I too appreciate the violence however I notice the possibility of hammer slip & hand hit? Has that ever happened to you? Hopefully not! I'm bring this up because I'm a paraplegic of 32+ years and I've accidentally cut doorways too short and semi crunched my hands between the doorway and the pushring of my wheelchair. Very painful. I just wanted to share that little idea. Thanks Lucky.
You guys with your fancy sponsorships and endorsements, you can put 20k worth of parts in the basket at Summit, push the button and have the lot overnighted to you for free. Struggle is real with the little guys.
Love you Lucky. South Bay kid myself. Your ADHD kills me though. You need a director or camera man. Talk about Truck Norris’ dash, but don’t bother showing it. Nobody’s interested in seeing what you’re talking about. 🤣
I'm diggin the long bed. Don't shorten it!
Im glad John is going to make it a short bed! Very cool truck!
Long beds need love too lol
Dam Lucky, I really like Truck Norris's front and rear suspension! Everything scotch brightened really looks WICKED 👌
I used to read all his articles he did in car craft.
He’s done a lot with that truck.
Lucky’s attention to detail is simply magnificent , Lucky is a wizard all things Hot Rod . Cheers
Woke up this morning & Lucky had a new video uploaded. Today will be a good day!
Love seeing Lucky just snipping & pitching wire.... Master at work.
John seems shell-shocked at times when Lucky is giving him shit, but it’s obvious these two are good friends.
Any day with Truck Norris is a GREAT day.
When truck building goes from work to a seamless art love the content 👌
Dude, can you imagine how many of your younger viewers are saying, "who is Will Robertson, and what is he talking about!"
Great work as usual man.
Will Robinson
@@sprintcar-acematt5175 ya see what happens when we get old 😆😅🤣😂
Dr Smith over in the corner crying out William! 😂
Keep it a long box the truck looks great.
That green Chevelle is a thing of dreams.
I love work. I could watch it all day.
Keep it long!!!!!!!!
My '70 GMC is a long bed and I love it. "Long Live the Long Bed!" :P
Awesome projects!
What happened to the 700 something HP BBC?
Love the longer videos! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Enjoyed watching and love your humor!
Ooooooo the new multi-process welders are really cool.
I use that split wire sheathing from Painless. It looks pretty good and covers the wires - without electrical tape.
Greatest name ever for a truck!
Lucky is the only reason I miss Motortrend.
Lets get a truck cruise going!!!!!!
I’m a bit of a wiring snob too. Like to see it done extremely neat. Never used one on those hammer crimper thingys...always soldered the ends. I’ll have to get one and give it a try......
I thought crack torches were better than the heat gun!
I would love to have one or more of those posters for my garage
Such a cool truck John!
I like my long bed, I can haul more in it.
I used mine for work and to haul a four wheeler and camping gear. A 6 foot bed is too short.
I really only use my truck to haul ass gas and grass, most of which I like up front with me... yeye
@Mr. Completely junk in the trunk
You can close the tail gate when you put 4X8 sheets of anything in it and not have to strap down anything!
Aw let the man rock the long bed! Be different. Also, please tell us you all rerouted the e brake cable off the exhaust?!
Truck Norris.
What happened to the big block?
the TCI stuff is legit. i have that ifs system in the front of my 64 c10, ridetech's set up in the back.
I have ridetch 2Hq's on all 4 corners of my 14 mustang and it turned my car from a boat to go cart..ish. love um!
More Luckminster Fuller for my ocular circuits. *robotic cheering*. I like that sluggo lug crimper, aggressive and effective!

Truck Norris, Truck Truck Norris, SUV, and Jackie Van 😃
Wasn't truck norris on a big block efi setup before?
I did the same thing with my 90s bench I found in the back of crew cab in a junkyard paid 40 bucks for it now it’s in my squarebody
Those are some tasty tweaks !
Mean Girls reference, That exhaust is SOOO Fetch!
Only Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
WIRELESS MIKE!! GET ONE.. Otherwise I love the videos!
I will say second gen camaro headers fit really good on a C10 nice a tucked up in the frame
Love this truck
Cool truck. Leave it a long bed.
Long beds are totally fine. Why the hate?
Great wiring. I love watching a master at his work. This is a pretty cool truck and everything, but what happened to the Big Block? I like Small Blocks alright, in fact, I chose a '70 LT-1 for my own '70 C10. But part of the over-the-top fun of Truck Norris was the 540 cu. in. BBC.
I remember a Bullnose Ford truck that you had, a Mr. something, what happened to that...
40 min vid from Lucky? That's like a month in one day!
Nice work @Lucky, thank goodness you were there to straighten up that wiring!
Use 69 Camaro headers instead of the 67-87 Chevy truck headers. They tuck up much tighter to the under body without creating other clearance issues. You won't have to see exhaust pipes dangling underneath the truck and it won't drag on steep driveways.
It would be nice if you explained what you are doing as I am sure a lot of people have similar issues.
I'd really like to ask about the exciter wire from the starter to the alternator,I understand the bolt for positive on the ALT,but where do you fit the wire to on the starter? Bloody awesome show,cheers from australia
Long beds rule. Go to the hardware store, buy a sheet of plywood and some 2x4s and slam the tailgate. No need to strap anything down.
Lucky... Is the new double CAN bus connector wiring harness for a terminator x?
Wasn't Truck Norris Jeff Smith's late 80's 2WD rig?
Mr sluggo.... link in the description pleaaasseee that thing is cool, cant find it anywhere!!!
Dr, Oc wants his arms back. (Exhaust). Thought it was pie cuts at first
that a cool truck ....
Do you know what tci kit that is for the rear setup? I really would like something like that for my long bed.
Lucky is a good guy come to his shop to change the oil and he rewires your truck.
Lucky you are awesome!! Hot Rod gargae is so much less hacked since you and TA took over!!
Not that the other two hacks werent entertaining
Truck Norris doesn't do push-ups. He does earth downs.
Good friends the best
Awesomeness
Welcome to luckys chop shop where no wire is safe.
everyone needs a wire wizard
As a German
"Auspuff" is German for Exhaust
And muffler is Auspufftopf :-)
👍
Lucky, your deadpan delivery is great. Drop $ome bucks into a production team so you can take this channel up to 1milly subs!
Yep needs the shorty kit👌
What happen to the big block? In Chuck?
Isn’t that 150 amp breaker a little big for them wires?
Truck Norris Lol that is good
No exhaust turnouts?
On this episode of This Old Truck Lucky will cut out some unnecessary wiring.
When are U making it a Shorty ?
Didn't this truck used to have a big block in it ?
You could put Sluggo in the vice horizontally and accomplish the same results possibly? Lol I too appreciate the violence however I notice the possibility of hammer slip & hand hit? Has that ever happened to you? Hopefully not!

I just wanted to share that little idea. Thanks Lucky.
My OCD wonders why that right, front (front) lower arm bar doesn't come out of the center of the bushing.... (at 8:40)
Eccentric bushings, so they can set front camber/toe-in - both arms have them, it's just more obvious looking at that one.
Personally I blame squirrels
Is that the ONLY thing you can say? I see that way too much, are you a one trick pony?
Lucky's Saturday afternoon snip snip special....50% off on your vasectomy with an oil change!!
Hey, isn't this the guy on TV, Trucks on Motor trend channel or something?
Didn't truck norris have a big block in it before? What happened :0
That was probably 2 or 3 motors ago, the way these guys go through stuff... ~:)P
He said its in the machine shop on instagram
Keep it a long bed be unique
the bottom of the rear shocks seems excessively cantilivered outwards...
lucky for Supreme Ruler of the Universe
I thought truck Norris was an EFI big block truck
Actually 4x8 plywood is standard. Cmon man.
you can always tell the old guys 'cause they use their real name as a username
Really. That’s how you can tell they’re old. Chod
My bike is 9 feet long.
For the exhaust fumes just use the Covid mask 😷
You guys with your fancy sponsorships and endorsements, you can put 20k worth of parts in the basket at Summit, push the button and have the lot overnighted to you for free. Struggle is real with the little guys.
No part of that statement is true.
Don’t do it!!! #longbedlivesmatter
Hy Lucky son
Auspuff
Love you Lucky. South Bay kid myself. Your ADHD kills me though. You need a director or camera man. Talk about Truck Norris’ dash, but don’t bother showing it. Nobody’s interested in seeing what you’re talking about. 🤣
And no “all done” on wiring clean up payoff. Dude. Love ya, but come on!
Why hack up a good truck when you could have started with a short bed?
shortbed frames are getting scarce, and people are asking crazy-ass prices for them, whereas longbed frames are relatively cheaper and easier to get.
Poor long bed. Been getting made fun of its whole life. Short bed trucks can be so mean. First mod for me if I owned her, short bed conversion.
