Dam... Congrats on the truck. What a wife an friends you have. Enjoy....👍
Yeah, he's a pretty lucky guy! Super sweet truck, too!
That's awesome, wish I had friends like this. Shit wish I had a friend lol
It was a lot of fun being in on the surprise. And I'm sure you have at least one friend.
Hey Ron, congrats buddy..! I’ve had mine for 22 years and counting, this video brought back a lot of memories for me, about brought a tear to my eye because I could re-live my old memory again..
Y’all keep up these great videos man..
I’d like for all of us in the UBT to meet up one day with out trucks and just hangout, cruise or whatever 👍🏼
You’re killing me with all of these good looking square bodies!
Haha! It just so happens that a good friend of ours is really into them so we get to put our eyes on quite a few.
GM square body you mean square people because they are really BOOMER exploding vehicles from 73 to 86 very dangerous and people yap about the Pinto runabout one model &part of one year but hush/ hush on the self destructing squarebody well its your money waste it
You guys are too cool!!
I have a similar story. 12 years ago, My Wife did the same for my birthday. I had been prowling the alleys, back yards and tree lines for a '48-'54 Chevy. Couldn't find anything worth bringing home & eventually found a elderly guy a couple of blocks from where I worked at the time. He had a '53 3100, perfect patina but not for sale. Told me after a nice long talk that he had a '50 3600 that was available. Went out to his Son's farm in the hills, saw the truck and knew I had to have it right there and then. Unfortunately I didn't have all the money and fortunately he was a really nice guy. We agreed that I would pay him what I could afford each month until the truck was paid off. I belong to a old truck website and casually 😉 mentioned what I had in the works. Got a letter from some good friends in California and they included a few dollars to help get the truck home sooner. Didn't ask for that at all...just a kind gesture from like minded truck friends. The payments went on steadily for the first few months and then kinda slowed a bit because of the car manufacturers bankruptcy problems...I worked at a dealership on commission. Not a good combo. Well, My Wife, being the wonderful lady she is, paid off the balance I owed, without me knowing, in time to bring the truck home for my 40th birthday.
haha don't know about that but we have fun!
Love your channel, too! I remembered a good story....so I edited
@@doug81337 That's an awesome story and really highlights the value of good truck friends and an awesome spouse.
What a great wife!
No doubt about it!
That’s a great u guys and his wife, u did for Ron.
Supper cool, love square body’s, I got a 1967 GMC I have had from new with 44973 miles on. I like Whitlock Garage👍🍒
Awesome! Thanks for tuning in
Awesome wife. Damn !
More on Dexter!!!
Dexter is currently hurt (trans issues) but @c10squared on Instagram has a ton of photos. He owns the truck.
Love the fast forward...John ain't never moved that fast... LMAFO 🤣 ☺️👍
The kid has the moves, magic feet bein’ magical!
I don't know what I'd do without my c10
Me either! Irreplaceable.
I grew up on Martin's. I lived about 5 miles from the first Martin's. My morning choice is a large tenderloin and egg.
Heck yeah! I like sausage egg and cheese.
This makes me miss my 77 GMC.
I love a good GMC.
I hear ya. My uncle just passed away from this goddamn opioid crisis were having. He had a84 short bed Chevy. 500 horse built 350 of course. And he just restored a 49 Chevy pick up pained it like a bronze .Old crager wheels. Beautiful truck. Now he's dead and didn't even get to enjoy it. He was 59 years old rip Larry.
I hate to hear that! I hope you get to carry on his love for old chevy trucks.
RIP Larry
@@ked29203 Thanks appreciate that.
💱Damn, thats really bombed out about your uncle(r.i.p. uncle Larry)
Cool Trucks Should Be Enjoyed By Someone he loves and who loves him. Be blessed Dave jr.💱
Awesome surprise! But dang, He didn’t give no love to the wife tho! Hope he did off camera! That was so awesome of her to do. Nice video!
Amazing surprise! People shoe their affection in different ways. Go easy on the ol boy!
Whitlock Garage Well put!👊🏾
Man I have the same truck getting A LOT of work done to it as we speak. 2016 LT1 with 8L90 transmission going in. Will be putting a video up when it's done.
Love the sound of the small block.
Man, that's awesome! That'll be a sick ride. I'm a modern motor fan but you can't beat the sound of a small block through duals.
Cool surprise man. I think he was stoked. 👍
I think so, too!
Good wife
No doubt about it! Pretty special thing for them both.
I was acting the same way a few days ago when I got my 78 c10 stepside btw my wife surprised me with mine as well that's so cool
Heck yeah!
outstanding to have friends like you and a wife like that...thumbs up brother...
No doubt!
Dang y’all can surprise me with new suspension, wheels and tires anytime!
LOL, love you Amanda for doing this! I believe this is the first time my boy has been speechless! Cool truck Bud, love ya! ~ Mom
watergirlb68 it was a lot of fun being apart of this! Your son is awesome and Amanda pulled off a very special surprise for him. Can’t beat that!
He's an inconsiderate assbag! He never acknowledged his wife with any gratitude, a hug or kiss... nothing until a belated thank you after thanking Everyone Else! What a Putz.
That’s true love ❤️
Love this channel anything c10 is all that matters !! Can’t wait for the next vid brother thanks
That's awesome! Appreciate you tuning in.
nice to come home to a suprise like that!!!! the interior in that truck is in some shape!! awesome truck!!!!

She's a beautiful truck
Yes sir!
Love this channel guys. My first truck was a an original 1969 c-10 lwb with a 250 inline 6. Guess what... Its still my current truck.
Heck yeah! That's awesome.
Nice!
So cool 👍
Thanks! Really glad you stopped by. Hope you consider subscribing if you haven't already!
Very good work
Thank you! We're having a lot of fun.
My truck is brown and tan like that truck. I like seeing others with the same paint combo to see if something on their would look. better on mine
Nice to be loved like this ❤
nice truck I have the same one but all brown
The Indian Bronze is one of my favorite colors on these trucks.
kid has moves
paint it a candy root beer brown!
That'd be sweet but I believe this one is staying Indian Bronze.
love martins!
I wish i had friends like this
Charley Charley we just treat people like we’d want to be treated.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS 👍👌👍👌👍👌👍🤙
Used to eat at that Martin's all the time when I worked dayshift. Now that I am retired, I don't get up early enough for breakfast. But they did just open a new one down the street on Dallas Hwy. Love the videos by the way. Sold my 65 GMC (V6) now working on a 77 F100 (needs a coyote) and have a 73 Nova that I want to Ls swap
Awesome! And yes, the Martin's on Dallas Hwy is real nice. Let me know when you get the F100 Coyote-swapped. I'd love to ride in that thing!
regular subscriber to channel for a solid 2 years now, not sure how I missed this video before. Loved it!
Will there ever be some Whitlock Garage merch? love the UBT stuff, but some Whitlock Garage branded goodies would be soooo cool.
Hey, man! Thanks so much. Appreciate you being on board form the beginning. Since we changed the name to UBT (to reduce confusion), we've decided to not produce any WG merch. We may do a throwback one day, but for now we're going to keep it all consistent with UBT.
Omg haha my six year old son is always doing that fortnight dance that kid was doing..!!! Hahaha
It's ridiculous! haha
👍🏼👍🏼 money 💰money
Money Money!
MARTINS!!!!damn I miss Georgia,there’s no martins in Nashville!!!
Boy, that's hard to believe! I love Nashville and Martin's. They need to unite.
I wish!!
I owned a 1979 GMC SHORT STEPSIDE and a short box I had the most fun driving those truck's and I didn't baby them either. Then i built a 1972 GMC Suburban still own that one for over 20 year's .
That's awesome! That sounds like an impressive stable of trucks.
Go square bodies reminds me of the day I got my 86 long bed my buddy I got it from dropped off in my yard while I was away from home I could not wait to get home and see it.
Isn't that cool? It seems that everybody has a story about a squarebody. The first truck I ever drove was a brown early-80s c20 across a cow pasture.
Yeah
this is so cool to see man im 21 and just picked up a single cab gmc sierra grande single cab rust free short bed th bed has zero dings and truck only has 62k original miles has the good ol 350 and 700 trans still needs some work but drives and everything love your channel also i own a driveline shop in california if you need any drivlines made
Man, that's so cool! I love seeing the young guys involved in the community. And thanks for the offer on the driveline.
Beautiful trucks
Completely agree!
Would like to put my 85 c10 body. On a impala frame or road master. Would be nice.
1st time on your channel great vid I'm subbing 785👍🏾
Awesome! Thanks for the subscription.
Recent follower. Enjoy your videos but more, I like the camaraderie you guys have. Wish I could find a group of guys like you in my area. I live in a rural town of 2000 in South Dakota. I have a 37 chef PU that was my aunt and uncles. I drove it in 68 but it needed work, clutch was slipping and more. I wanted it but their son wanted it so I was out. Unfortunately, their son was killed by a sleeping semi driver. It took years for my aunt and uncle to let it go but it's mine now. I started working on it with my dad but he died suddenly and I quit. and stored it for decades. Now I have it home and Im going to proceed. Originally I was thinking stock but that babbet bearing six is toast and the steering sucks. So an LS is in its future. I picked up a 99 Explorer axle and a Fatman Fabs IFS. It's a South Dakota truck and has virtually no rust, just dings and cracks from driving in the fields. Just so you know, I see survivor trucks from the 50's and 60's as daily drivers all the time around here.
Nice truck
Sure is! Some sweet upgrades coming to it very soon.
South GA here never heard of Martin's sure heard of Bojangles though
Oh, man! No Martin's? Good. But not better than Bojangles.
My kids do the same dance thing too. Lol
It's apparently a popular thing to do!
Just went to Bremen Georgia to pick up an all original 1985 c10 in Great condition (and actually have a tittle for it, if you from there you know how hard it is to get a tittle there) drove it 12 hours none stop to Houston Texas ... I do got to say Georgia has some of the cleanest C10s around...
Man, that's awesome that you came here and bought it then drove it home. If you bought it here without a title, you will have to check your state's laws to determine what documentation you will need to retrieve a title in TX, if you can at all. GA is a non-title state so you can simply register a vehicle here without a title.
Did you buy the truck from a fellow named Clay?
I bought the truck from a shop called Big O Street Rods from Ken and I did get lucky with a title I would not have wasted my time because in Texas it would of been worth next to nothing with out it! I'm in love how clean Georgia keeps there trucks (here 8 outta 10 they have cancer "rust" becuase we are so close to the gulf of Mexico... Love the channel and content KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT, BUD 👍🏼
Martin's in Villa Rica is the best!
Heck yeah!
SssssuuuuWheat !!!!!!
i got a 79 full option short wide 4x4 for free but have u ever seen a grill that is plastic with chrome bars across the front of grill from the factory i have never seen one and have had a lot of these trucks right now i have 8 just sitting and the grill is on the option sticker in the glove box as a all metal chrome grill
Just gotta short 1980 ...have you done it will you do an episode on lowering a c10 ? Thanks El Bolillo
We've done quite a few episodes on lowering a c10 but haven't exactly done it on a squarebody. But we will.
Idea for a project..... Modern interior in a square body! I've seen it done on older Chevelle's, but not a truck
Tell you what else would be cool. A couple weeks ago on Dennis Gage's My Classic Car, some dude took a 2016 Silverado and re-skinned it in '67-'72 sheetmetal. You almost couldn't tell except for the upper part of the cab.
Now why not do it in '73-'80 and '81-'87 squares too.
You should call it a Bad Boy some more
It is a bad boy. Bad boy. :)
Love the videos, definitely a new subscriber. I have a 78 c10 Silverado in the same colors as this. Love the look. I’m thinking of putting a step side rear bumper on mine. What do you think?
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing. Not sure on the step bumper but if it fits and that's what you like, run it!
Awesome video! Quick question... what is the size of the trailer you were using?
It's a 20' steel deck with removable fenders, stake loops around the outer rim, and D-Hooks mounted to floor. 3500lb axles. It's a dream. We used to have a 16' wood floor deck and this one pulls so much better!
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Awesome! Thank you!!
Awesome truck, you guys are great friends. I have an 86 I’m about to build soon. I plan to set it up just like this 3/5 drop on 20’s. What size tire is on it?
We just help each other out like we would anyone else. Pecos has 245/45/20 on front and 275/40 or 45/20 on rear.
Was the drop a 3/5 on Pecos?The red chevy in the other video with the 5/7 was sweet.
@@vinnyvega4723 yes, it was a 3/5 in the video where we brought it to him. Now it's a 4/6 and can be seen in the new Battle in Bama videos.
Yeah I saw it in the video. A buddy of mine was at Battle in Bama, he has a K20 White crew cab. He swapped a diesel into it, it’s sit on 40’s with some custom wheels.
Ha !! His dance moves are LIT 🔥 AF I think that’s how you say it ?? ..
That's exactly how you say it! haha If the camera is on he's dancin'!
Nice truck, what kind of exhaust sistem the truck had?
Dual 40 series Flowmasters. Sounds incredible, especially now that it has a cammed LS.
I Just got a 83 last week
DestinyWithTrent man, that’s awesome!
God is good!✝️🙏🏻😌
Is that the truck from the fall guy
Haha! I knew somebody was going to bring that up!
I have a 1978 GMC C15 looking to purchase similar wheels. I know the size wheels your running but by chance do you know what's the back spacing specs? I'm trying to orders rims but they keep telling me there are different back spacing.
The wheels that are on this truck are American Racing TTIIs and are off-the-shelf backspacing - 4.5 on 20x8 on front and 5.75 on 20x10 in rear.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS thank you very much.
Rebuilding my great grand fathers 76 GMC. The thing is a rust bucket with lost of holes plus has front end damage. What's a good place to start for good body parts a good price or should I have a welder work it over?
#Buildingonabudget
Whenever you can buy used, but OEM body panels or even a frame if you need it, that's what you should do.
Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking. This is my first resto. so I'm pretty green and automotive isn't my niche so I have to depend to season vets and specialists and try not to get burned for my hard earned cash
Yo anybody know where I can get that tailgate trim, I got a 84 gmc an I'm tryna get a tailgate like that
I don't offhand, but I'm sure somebody reproduces it.
LMC truck?
What is the drop kit on this truck??
In this video, probably a 4/6
Where does the money come from to ls swap buy truck and build. I got one just like it same color in garage. I can't think about doing that. Mine is stock and runs fine
Well, most work for it and/or wheel -n- deal to make it happen. Really cool that you have the same truck. Supposedly this one has a hurt motor so Ron wants to upgrade to the power and reliability of an LS. He's working hard to get it done and doing every single bit of the build/install as he can.
Yall in nashville?
Metro Atlanta
what u want is the diesel witch has the Cadillac suspension to start with i have one that i put a 68 442 olds rocket in it sold it after 15 years they blew the motor in it then i got it back for free still have it but putting the body on some thing else so i have frame suspension drive train motor still good to rebuild 400 turbo in it with the long box on it all in perfect condition but the motor not a dig in the box trade for chevy parts like an all metal cowl induction hood for a 68 chevy pu
Check out my 79 c10 build
Martin's is that the one on jimmy Carter
Nope powder springs
I bet after it was wratched strapped down... someone said that'll hold.... I bet on it.
And it did.
Just call me 389
Since that's my subscriber number on one of my new favorite channels.
Great job, excellent video and keep em coming!
PS, don't you fret none I can't dance either. My youngest son is convinced that he can teach me those same steps your son was laying down, but alas I can't even Floss(which is apparently a dance)
Emil Lerp just seeing this! Haha! Thanks for the kind words. And yeah, these kids these days have some moves.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS
I showed my youngest son this video this morning.
He says that he is ready for the truck farm dance off . I guess if nothing else, since you and I apparently are not qualified to be dancers at least we can say that we know some. I am only hoping that Griffin is as qualified at operating the camera as Jackson is, that would definitely be an advantage if we go ahead with a channel on our build.
Have fun and keep the videos coming...
Emil Lerp that’s hilarious! I’m sure Jackson would be down. That said, you just gotta out the camera in their hands. It’s how I got started just three short months ago.
God is good!0
What's the motor in it?
Here it has a 305/700r4 combo. Now it has a 5.3/4l60e.
Nice! I just got burned for 5k for a 350 block swap, now I find out I could've done a LS swap for roughly that much. I gues you live and learn.
I'm the subscriber #2439
Heck yeah!
You backed that sucker off like a big boy dog ....
ADAM HENSON haha!
I can handle the patina but not the dents and dings!
5.3 LS, UGH.
it's not for everybody but those that know, know.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Not in a square body. Personally I'd go with a 383 stroker. More bang for the buck and more reliable than the 5.3. I'm going completely off the rails with a Deetroit 4-53T swap in my 84 M1008/ K30 one ton.
Fcked up she took all the credit
Not at all. She made it happen. We just delivered it.
The trucks are beautiful but the rims are horrible
To each their own, brother. To each their own. We like 'em all!
That dance made it gay
Oh boy
Nice truck
Really is.
what size wheel and tire combo is on this truck?
20x8 with 245/40/20 in front and 20x10 with 275/40/20 in rear. American Racing TTIIs.
Is there any offset applyed
Brett Heinemeyer 20x8 have 4.5” backspace and 20x10 have 5.75” backspace.
Thank you sir
