It was our pleasure to meet you and video WillieG. Awesome truck and story, we all appreciate your effort driving in from Arizona, to visit AutotopiaLA!! All the best🙏
We all find our way to smile after losing loved ones. There is just something special about knowing you touched something that THEY were the last ones to touch.... Especially tools and say an old jacket or gloves. Takes you back instantly! I'm not so sure Grampa would be very proud of the rear frame area..... I'd have to have a long talk with my Dad if he seen that, on his truck....
That is the same dream I have for the '93 Caprice I inherited from my grandparents. They bought it with about 5k miles and put another 150k or so on it. Much less after Grandma passed away, but Grandpa was still driving (at least sometimes) after his 100th birthday. My thought was an LS3 with a trans like this truck's, 3.73s or 4.10s, greatly improve the suspension and brakes, and some 18" Schott C7s would fit great on it. Fix all the rust and make a couple small exterior changes that you might not even know were changes. Just need the right Powerball ticket.... Rob's living the dream and doing a great job keeping Willie G's memory alive. That was an awesome video and awesome story.
Let's not forget to give recognition to the 13 yro daughter for drawing the portrait of her dad's grandfather. True artists really did work on the truck....just awesome
Now this is the type of truck I just come back and back for more videos… great find and the history of the truck just feels more real and obtainable for some reason. Clearly an owner with real passion
I have the same truck in a 1985 Chevy Silverado,after seeing how this came out I am NOT going to paint it! Mine was bought brand new at Bill Heard Chevrolet in Columbus Ga. Mine had a 305 from the factory,I put a gm crate motor 350 in it,I love this truck!
I love this truck, my father had the same truck he purchased used back in the day! 1986 with the same colour scheme , dual exhaust, glass packs and a 4 barrel carb! I can still smell the unburnt gas 😂😂! Had a lot of fun in that one! Love it!
Now that’s a fine ride. I’ve grown up & it hasn’t taken a mountain of shiny bling to get me off for a long time now. To me, the Grandpa Theme set the stage for the build and honestly, I’d say “Done” & that would be that. Like I said, I grew up. Been there done that when I couldn’t stop chroming this & that then taking off a piece stashing it & putting on something else that I saw somewhere & had to have it & a one of my friends would say “I thought you’d chromed that or powder coated it 😳” & I’d say “I did but…”. That pickup is very tasteful & just right.👍 Put a fork in it & call it done.🇺🇸✊☝️
Class act with tre5 I'm glad 😊 he made his pick up how he wanted it from Dad. Dad's are boys and girls best friend.His father is smiling 😃 from up above. Thanks again Shawn
love it and proud to know it came and resides in my state Arizona.. this was one cool build that shows that us guys in AZ know our '67-'87 c-10 and have companies to build the ultimate rides like this one congrats on ur bad azz truck its beyond cool cuz of not only the truck but the history if it makes it so much more
When swan face lights up mine lights. Brother I appreciate this value called love . Grandpa would appreciate. Approve who knows. But what a build its a gentleman truck. 👏 I say .
dude, you seen cartoons or movies where everybody is awaiting a door to open and when it does its just 8 kajillion watts of blinding light that stuns everyone looking. thats got to be how it feels to open the door on this thing. i probably didnt say that to depict the crazyness thatis inside and the patina on the outside. this is one sano ride. you can drive thisand not care about a rock chip but also park next to the most elite show trucks and its just as bitchin' as they are. to me, this is the best build possible. its a piece of family and the engineering and cool stuff is where money went to make it so cool and not spend crazy loot on a paint job. the fab and interior make this in a class of its own. mega job bro!!!!!!
This is a badass truck! The only thing I wound change is going with 20" wheels and putting window tint on. I have a 2000 GMC Sierria I bought from my grandparents in 2006 when I was in high school. This is still my daily driver. Good content Shawn
My late grandfather bought a brand new Scottsdale in '85 that he owned for many years doing his wood cutting and splitting business and farm work. I was so young back in those days and didn't know much about vehicles or how to work on them and restore them. Now all these years later I do but that trucks long gone as is my grandfather unfortunately. I would love to the opportunity you did and be able to drive and build something owned by him or my late father as well.
I followed the build on Tre5's channel. If you need motivation to work on or build your own car, watch other build videos and MOST importantly AutotopiaLA. I'll be heading to the garage to turn some wrenches when this video is over.
Absolutely love this truck. One question, though, did he shorten the bed? If so, nice job blending the paint. It looked like a long bed in the old photos with Willie G.
I must live under a rock the LT4 might be the most over looked engine in my opinion, totally cool moter, looks like a square box with raddle snake's inside.
That upshifting quality in other builds is likely due to fuel economy--unless you just want to cruise local, driving a high HP whip to a big car show far away gets annoying when you have to keep stopping for gas. Also, keeping it out of the RPMs helps the valvetrain--and the owner probably doesn't even notice since most seem to stick to part throttle on these cruises anyway.
Thank you so much for having me on the channel. It was fantastic meeting you and your crew. It's amazing to see ol' WillieG ripping down the road!
well deserved feature 😗
that's really an awesome looking truck !!
followed it somewhat on TreFives TH-cam-Channel .. 🤠
all the best for you 😎🎉
It was our pleasure to meet you and video WillieG. Awesome truck and story, we all appreciate your effort driving in from Arizona, to visit AutotopiaLA!! All the best🙏
It was a blast for us as well Rob. Thank you for making the trek out to shoot with us!
Amazing build with so much heart put into it. My favorite build on ATLA this season. 😎
Another stunnomenal build! Tribute build brought a tear to my eye remembering my grandfather. Killer!

Amazing how good she did

Glad you enjoyed the story as well. Tre5 does class work
Such a beautiful tribute to his grandfather and 400-600 horsepower is more than enough to enjoy on the street and even then you need to be cautious.
Totally agree my friend
Absolutely love the paint, chrome bumpers and even the trailer hitch ball. But everything that needs to rock, rocks. And comfort
WillyG, would be smiling, great family insite.hell yea.
Those Tre5 guys build some amazing machines. The best part is the history.
Very nice Square Body!!
Such a clean truck and a great story with it! Glad you liked it too guys!!!
Awesome way to honor his Grandfather. Wouldn't change a thing.
I have my Grandfathers 86 Silverado that I have restored. Its great to still have it around, she cruises nice around the SouthEast

I followed the build on Tre5's channel. If you need motivation to work on or build your own car, watch other build videos and MOST importantly AutotopiaLA. I'll be heading to the garage to turn some wrenches when this video is over.
They do great work and I love the story with this one. Now go turn some wrenches!! 👊

What a cool truck! That patina is fucking gorgeous!
Thank you
My dream truck 🔥
Cool custom
WOW
I've never seen a Chevy truck look this cool!!!!! 😳
Jk 🤭 stop the cap!!! GMC.... before people explode over a joke 🫣🤣🤣🫡
Man, let's put aside the bad ass build on the icon square, what is it about a blue interior under a white or silver paint that just kills 👌
I just want to work for tre 5 customs I'd wash trucks all day just to see those trucks everyday.
You should give ‘em a call. Maybe they need some help?
Amen 🙌
I had an old Chevy, will again.
Mannnnn love this truck bro…..🔥🚬
Me too!
Absolutely love this truck. One question, though, did he shorten the bed? If so, nice job blending the paint. It looked like a long bed in the old photos with Willie G.
Yes, Kyle at Metal Ox Fab shortened those for me
You can see the "scars" from the shortening
@@robs85gmc what is the brand name on the wheels boss? they look godtier
@@PEDR0SKI yeah I went back to the video later and paused on the side shot and I saw them. They fit the build!
@@MistaaFrosty billet specialties Camber with smoked gloss centers
Wow, what the fuck ist this! This Car Looks so good👍🤯🥳😁🔥
Nice build for sure
I must live under a rock the LT4 might be the most over looked engine in my opinion, totally cool moter, looks like a square box with raddle snake's inside.
Love this build 🏁❤️
Rip willie g!
I had a 85 shortbed exactly like that shortbed it was a shortbed bought it at abraham chevy tampa fl.years ago i think it was 2 yr.s old 305 /700
FUCK SAKE man this shit made me tear up....
