[@LostSasquatch]

Trying to get more out.

[@BackcountryPassport]

Good to see you making vids again. This will be a great series and can't wait to see the finished 'squatch!

[@LostSasquatch]

Thank you! I’m super excited to start on this thing.

[@andersonahrenhold7220]

Definitely looking forward to this series.

[@LostSasquatch]

excited to get going on it!

[@edgarm8836]

This series is looking to be very exciting. Can't wait to see the finished result of all the hard work!!

[@LostSasquatch]

thanks so much!

[@32hernandez93]

Props to taken on that project 👏

[@LostSasquatch]

It’s going to be a fun one.

[@ChevyHalfTon]

As a knife maker myself I think it’s pretty damn cool that you plan on doing the Damascus accents I can’t believe I never thought of that… (Though I don’t have a forge hot enough to forge weld)

[@BradandDad_Adventures]

Super excited to watch the progress. Awesome truck had to have been hard to find and I can't imagine at what cost.

[@LostSasquatch]

i was super lucky to have found this truck! excited to start building it up

[@preciadodiego7263]

That thing is a beauty.

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks!

[@vinsonw821]

At first I had doubts but this thing is legit!!

[@LostSasquatch]

It’s going to be a lot of fun. Obviously need a lot of work but I’m determined now. Haha

[@PootsGarage]

Awesome truck

[@v1nc3mc]

What a Frankenstein haha. 81+ driver door panel, 77-80 passenger door panel, 1975 grille, 1984+ steering column, also GM didn't make a 1 ton 4x4 until 1977 so there's that as well. Also a 1979+ bed with the fuel door instead of exposed fuel cap. I totally dig it tho 🤟

[@LostSasquatch]

Yep! She is a special one. I’m not winning any Concours awards but it will be a darn fun ride! 🤜🏽

[@94TahoeDude]

Ive got an 82. Love these things

[@LostSasquatch]

Sick! Slowly but surely I’ll get to drive this thing.

[@salrodriguez4295]

Looks like u definitely have u'r hands full w this ol bad boy,but a GREAT platform to work w,great canvas....looking forward to seeing it built up 🤘😎🤘

[@LostSasquatch]

🤜🏽 def a huge project!

[@GSM-zh7jt]

Glad to see it lifted I hate seeing these bagged

[@LostSasquatch]

This thing will have some nice suspension.

[@cjarloz]

Man this is gonna be sweet. Looks fairly rust free for the age. Lucky you! If this was a east coast truck you would have a heck of a time

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks man! I’m finding a little rust but nothing I don’t think I can fix.

[@cjarloz]

@@LostSasquatch thats great! It will save you lost of time and money then. Not to mention cursing haha

[@RustyJeepHole]

Damn dude good job. Excited about your build.

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks man.

[@Adman-p4j]

This is my dream truck. HYPED! The Damascus details are going to be awesome. Shame about the bed getting cut but it's got to function for you and crew cabs + 8' beds are impossible to park anywhere LUL

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks! yeah it is going to hurt to cut it but I promise to clean it up as nicely as possible!

[@krishartman6546]

Beefy Rig! I can dig it. Looking forward to all the vids.

[@MT-xj8mt]

Congrats Forged in Fire CHAMP!

[@LostSasquatch]

Thank you sir! Cant wait to start making some damascus parts for this truck!

[@jacobmartin5943]

real nice K20

[@esobeegarage]

Glad to see you're making videos again, dude! Love this channel, looking forward to seeing it continue to grow! As a Chevy Silverado owner myself (probably how I found you) it's nice to see an old K-series get resto‐modded!

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks man! This is going to be a fun one to build.

[@bobbymulwee7641]

I love a K30 so great choice

[@LostSasquatch]

same! so excited to start building this up

[@bobbymulwee7641]

@@LostSasquatch I guess in 73 they didn't put a D60 up front or someone swapped it out but it looks like a 14b in the rear?

[@LostSasquatch]

Yeah, it has a 10 bolt up front. I have a Dana 60 ready to swap in.

[@kevinrichards3288]

It has a 75-76 grille. I don't see those generation Chevy & GMC crew cab pickups around anymore like I use to back in the day, but the regular cab ones on the other hand I still see on the roads today.

[@LostSasquatch]

It took me a long time to find it. Yeah, 75 grill, 80s hood! Haha it’s a mess but it will be a fun mess! Haha

[@Squirlliam]

Dude that sounds awesome I can't wait to see and Duramax swap js

[@LostSasquatch]

[@hajikilla91]

I was Born in 1972, That truck is 48 Years Old… I Like The Square Brody and they definitely don’t make Vehicles like that anymore…🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

[@northernwoodsman]

Hey, I see pics of your build online. What front tube bumper did you use? I'd like a similar one. Did you make it?

[@LostSasquatch]

Yeah I made that one.

Filming it this weekend!

[@fredmontgomery9166]

OUCH! I woulda traded you a 2003 2500hd diesel 4x4 shortbed for that squarebody!! Hate to see it cut, but will be watching this build.

[@LostSasquatch]

I won’t cut it too much. Haha. 🤜🏽 thanks man!

[@fredmontgomery9166]

@@LostSasquatch the 2003 i have has the wheel base you want. No cutting needed 😃

I love it where can i find one ?

[@LostSasquatch]

They are tough to find.

[@Fortniteamer]

I saw u in Sedona today bro

[@LostSasquatch]

Awesome! Yep! Just got back. It was a fun trip with the family.

[@shootintheshii9893]

Any tips on finding an ole k30? Can’t seem to find any in the 70s for sale

[@LostSasquatch]

This took me a while to find. Arizona and Oregon seem to have a few.

[@mattorrz759]

Looks sweet! Good luck with it 👌 Did you see Cowboy Cerrone at King of the Hammers? He’s getting right into that stuff.

[@LostSasquatch]

No, I’ll have to check that out. 🤜🏽

[@mattorrz759]

@@LostSasquatch No worries mate. He’d be one dude not to piss off on track 😂

[@trillonnn]

is she going to be an overland build???

[@LostSasquatch]

There will def be some overland gear! 🙌🏽

[@levispaeth8688]

Is there any rust on that truck?!? I live in the wrong state!! Looking forward to watching this build, you’ve got this!!

[@LostSasquatch]

Not much rust. I’m fixing a little on the rocker. But that’s about it.

[@levispaeth8688]

@@LostSasquatch nice! I live in Wisconsin so pretty much anything from that era is rotten trash unless it has been restored.

[@diydogguy]

This thing is KICK ASS

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks man!

[@emiliomascarenas3035]

😭 it’s like your killing a unicorn by cutting it

[@LostSasquatch]

But turning it into a Sasquatch! 🤜🏽

[@dustinstelzer8521]

It may have been said but it does not have 1 ton axles. Rear maybe equivalent bu the front is not a Dana 60. From the looks it looks like a 3/4 ton corporate 10. None the less congrats and I wish I would have never sold my 85 k20.

[@LostSasquatch]

Yeah, they weren’t 1 tons. But was there a crew cab k20? I’m still unsure what it was. Haha. But if you check out my instragram you can see where I have the truck at now. (KZbin videos are behind) haha

[@saddlebag4097]

That used to be a k30... sure looks like a 10 bolt in the front of it so as it sits its a 3/4 ton not a 1 ton.... Hope someone didn't pull a fast one on ya.

[@LostSasquatch]

You are correct. And I already have a passenger drop Dana 60 ready for it. 🤜🏽

[@saddlebag4097]

@@LostSasquatch awesome I was hoping you already knew that and someone didn't screw you over. Can't wait to see the build!

[@LostSasquatch]

Thanks for looking out! I’m working on trussing these axles and they should be ready.

[@nosnerd1967]

It’s been a while !

[@LostSasquatch]

It has and I’m finally back! Haha.

[@jimmylikesguys]

Bro!!! This is weird as heck. I just got this truck on Friday! Same year, color, etc ! Looks identical. Anyways . Best of luck on ur build . I'm going to start making videos about mine. But on a different channel. (Don't worrie I'm not trying to steal followers. ) .

[@LostSasquatch]

That’s awesome dude! No way, the most squarebody restos the better. Find me on Instagram and shoot me a pic of the build.

[@jimmylikesguys]

@@LostSasquatch will do 💪

[@MannySoftPaw]

She is gorgeous omg

[@LostSasquatch]

🤜🏽

[@ATVmaniac50]

Awesome truck don’t get me wrong, but I thought a big reason you got rid of your “old” truck was because it was full size and not very maneuverable? This thing can’t be any better.😂😂 cool truck though

[@LostSasquatch]

no actually its a great size. i just want more power and more travel. haha

[@patrickforbes7373]

What’s the wheel specs?

[@philbrown7611]

is that a street plate ?? if it is, that brilliant.

[@LostSasquatch]

Not quite. But I sure as hell wasn’t going to build this thing in pea gravel. Haha. I doubles up some 3/4” plywood and painted it.

[@hooknboat2347]

Sheewww!!

[@LostSasquatch]

yeah buddy!
