I need to finish some gas lines from the saddle tanks then the cab is going back on the frame as well. Great video. MK

I am rebuilding (ground up) a 1978 Chevy Scottsdale K10. I love your videos. They give me great ideas of where I need to go and issues seen when building something that's not 100% stock. Very much appreciate the time you spent. MK

Outstanding project. I love how smooth that engine runs. And you are right, the older you get the less loud it needs to be! Excellent video. MK

I dig the custom tailgate. And you have good views of how that tank mounts. Most of the videos are newer square bodies and the crossmembers look different compared to late 70's. 👍

@kustombuilds538 Ай бұрын

Most people do the crossmembers a bit different, I put everything where they were on a Blazer.

So I guess he will only have the canvas top on this K5? Nice work. Wish I knew where you are located.

Thats Funny but it really SUXXXXXXXX. Here's one for you. Driving home after work in Brooklyn heading to New Jersey in a 84 Toyota Pickup. Already past the Belt Parkway, Verrazano Bridge, Rte. 278 the Staten Island Expressway and onto the Goethals Bridge which goes into New Jersey. After coming off the Goethals Bridge, I had the sound of a rock in the tread of my 31" tires which I heard while driving on a smooth street into Elizabeth New Jersey. I pulled into a gas station to see what it was. You will never guess in a thousand years. It was a 6"-8" alternator bolt that pierced the tread of my tire and was still holding air. I changed to the spare when I got home but after a bolt that size blowing into the tire you know it couldn't be saved. Just a memory from 30 years ago so that alternator bolt cost me over $150. Your Not Alone, LOL.

My old Blazer on 33s picked up a 6" metal access cover in the road that had tar patch over it. I slammed into the bottom of the truck and left the tar patch on the tire. It took a half hour to get the tar patch off the tire to be able to drive it because it shook so bad.

Hey Buddy. Found your channel by reading comments from CrankAddict where he is doing a door rebuild on a '73 Blazer. I must say, the underside uf that tub looks "Fantastic"!!! I am a little older than both you and Cranky but I really have the itch for one of these K5's. The prices that they are going for on BAT and at Barrett and Mecum are nuts. If I could, the going rate at the time of this comment is $60K and up for a decently restored one. Some are over $100K. Thats Nuts!! So now I'm going on into your videos to see what I can learn. Who knows, maybe your close to me and will help me out should I run into any trouble. Sure looks and sounds like you know your way around these K5's. Thanks for the video. Subbed and Thumbed

A lot of those auction trucks are not that great either. I had a friend sell a 71 Blazer for 84k that really needed to come apart and be redone. I'm in my 50s so I'm not that young but I'm always learning new things about these trucks.

Awesome job, I have a 2007 - 13 Silverado, but I'm planning on making an electric retractable roof that folds down in the bed. Saw this truck with the roof off caught my attention. Interested in seeing more videos. But would definitely like the videos to be much longer. God bless

@TedBackus 5 ай бұрын

i have had to do this more times than i care to admit. never with a phone, but with drained solar cell batteries, or any other cell that was completely discharged & wont take a smart recharge. a good RC charger is worth having, especially if you have an alligator clamp connection. like a TB6B

@kustombuilds538 5 ай бұрын

A few times I have had smaller Lipo batteries that were just under the voltage the charger would not recognize them to charge them, so I slow charged them on my RC NICAD charger just enough to get the voltage up to use the correct Lipo charger.

I love how you're doing it on the sink so you can instantly dump it in there the moment it catches on fire for whatever reason.

@tocaamerillo431 5 ай бұрын

@@ableite it can stop other things from catching on it though

@kustombuilds538 5 ай бұрын

If it catches fire I can contain it to the stainless sink, it would still be a mess though. I also charge small lipos real slow, so it won't overheat and catch fire. RC batteries I charge outside, they are much bigger and can cause some damage.

I've done a few and with a good 74 windshield frame it can be done much faster but the one we had was toast so I tried a different way.
