Sgt. Rock Interior, Cooling System, & Other Details - Stacey David's Gearz S10 E2

A custom build can lose some power if the theme doesn’t stay consistent. Stacey shows how to do that by taking you through the process of how to make door and kick panels that keep the rugged military WWII bomber vibe flowing throughout the interior of Sgt. Rock. After that, its some tips on how to fit a radiator and that all-important cooling fan in a place where space is limited. Finally, the gas tank and battery placement are critical on a custom vehicle and Stacey goes through the steps in doing that as well. If you’ve always wanted to build a custom vehicle, this episode is sure to get your fabrication gearZ turning.

I've been watchin you for as far back as I can remember 8 or 9 I think when I started. Well, to put it this way, I remember when it was TNN and Trucks! Anyone remember when Sgt. Rock was rockin the military leaf springs? As long as you put out awesome content I'll always keep watchin. Copperhead was, is and always will be my favorite C10!

[@ChevyNglockMan]

ViperDemon6819 Wright same here, I remember watching copperhead and crazy horse getting built and test driven, good days

[@ViperDemonWright]

ChevyNglockMan hell yeah, crazy horse was a bad ass build, I also really liked the willys wagon, and the budget wagoneer build mostly because I have an 88 4 door wag. He'll there were soooooo many, I can't list em all, but this guy is arguably one of the best tv car show hosts.

[@buckyism]

ViperDemon6819 Wright I was about 10 or 11 when I watched those shows you mentioned... Stacey David is still goin at it!👌 This is part of the reason why I'm have a passion for the automotive industry

[@noahward3630]

oya I remember when it tv station was tnn and the show was called trucks I was about that age when I started watching back when there was good stuff to watch

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

You should be proud of all of your projects especially Sgt Rock, that is the coolest 😎 truck ever 😎

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Thanks 👍

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

@@OfficialStaceyDavid you're welcome buddy, you're the very best and restoration

[@rodcognito002]

Stacy has been inspiring me since I can remember. The best all around do it all fabricator. Much respect.

[@garygraham4571]

Great video Bro I'm retired Army veteran that hits home

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Thank you for your service.

[@the.porter.productions]

I’m getting to see this truck coming together...good tips on the interior...I’m glad to see them for I will be able to use some of them on my 51 REO project. You did some really good work on this rig. I’m glad that you showed the floor panel in both stages...my truck has a floor panel as well an empty place where the under seat fuel tank is. That interior will need lots of work when the time comes. Thanks again and I love the rig!

[@Nightstalker350119]

Yay another free episode!

[@abikerinpa]

Awesome build Stacey , been watching and looking forward to this build ever since I seen the first episode of it , and that started a while back 😉

[@Gojeep]

I just subscribed again now that there are some full episodes. Hopefully more coming. ;)

[@DRmechanic10]

What happened to the Heavy Metal Tow Truck?

[@BlueDually4x4]

One of my favorite builds.

[@manuelgonzalez4149]

I love these shows

[@Billhatestheinternet]

It isn't just advertising, Painless Performance wiring is the only way to do business.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

That's a great engine idea for that Toyota truck, a GM 4.3 is a tough V6

[@bobo4691]

You were pretty vague about how the battery boxes were attached on the Sgt. Rock truck. I'd have bolted them down into tapped holes with 1/4-20 stainless steel sidewalk screws. The heads are 1/8" thick and about an inch in diameter. the reason I'd use stainless is because they're readily available in the hurricane protection industry and don't rust when used with steel or aluminum. Id have spread the load on the battery case by lining the bottom with some of the 14 gauge aluminum you have lying around as scrap from the door liners and kick plates. or you could just use countersunk stainless steel 1/4-20 screws, since those cast battery boxes are clearly thick enough. I hope you have something under the aluminum battery boxes and the floor, since it's outside, like maybe that thin rubber you put under the fuel tank. Don't mix aluminum and steel outdoors, even if painted. Acid rain or salt air makes the joint into a battery and corrosion is guaranteed. Stainless steel works with both, and 316L is the best, if you can get it. it has so little iron that magnets barely stick to it. It's mostly nickel and chrome.

Love the Full Episodes. You should do them more often, or reorganize your content so that you can offer full episodes on youtube after your paid viewers get 1st dibs and other content. Awesome show!!!

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Thanks! That's what we do. We offer full episodes to our GearZNation members on our site, then the next season, these go up here.

[@YoungerPrice]

best show on tv/youtube

[@proximap2151]

I miss watching ur show!

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

We're on Velocity Channel every Saturday, MAVTV every Friday and Sunday, RevNtv online or watch on our website.

[@abeodez751]

Ashley truck is BAD👍👍 and her driving too
Also good tips with the tape, sockets, and hole saws

[@joshtheking1772]

Stace, don't you think the interior could use more leather? The seats just look a little too lonely in my opinion. Wouldn't it have been a good choice to put some leather inserts on the door panel instead of all of them being aluminum? Great build, I remember it from Trucks.

[@MisterOldSkoolRyder]

Yeah!! Boy

[@jasonlessman4855]

the red t is in my garage!

[@daverath462]

Try the nobler fasten

[@dalebelseth3058]

Great content, good host, to me horrible continuity. I've pretty much given up on trying to follow this series

[@zpwslayer9719]

I've been watching his show's since they were on cable, and there is zero linearity with these episodes. I just want to see one of these projects from start to finish.

[@ernestrodriguez4659]

I could not agree more!

[@daverath462]

Sorry try the nibbler it attaches to your drill

[@williamschnabl7228]

how do you get in that thing?

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

That tank is pretty small for Sgt Rock, that truck is going to be a gas guzzler

[@kumbackquatsta]

time for a 6x6 build

[@bmstylee]

Yes but that would take 37 years based off of Sgt Rock. Ian started one on Xtreme 4x4 but he left the show before it was done. It would have been wicked. And maybe I can see it end since he is on Amazon Prime. Big Tire Garage

[@devincarson3577]

You should keep making videos

[@diecastdreams4160]

Heavy metal tow truck ????

[@kidrauhlfan4evs]

That tank looks small

[@kidrauhlfan4evs]

It only needs enough fuel to drive to the car trailer anyways

[@themountie100]

It's the battery s that close to the tank thst worrys me

[@Bobcat665]

So, then... That truck really *IS* just a show pony.

[@leehodge2415]

22.5 min show, less than 4 mins on topic, rest was an ad.
