1974 Chevy K20 Truck Makeover! | Roadkill Garage

How do you think the boys did fixing up the K20?!

Awesome truck . Looking to build the same truck

How do I get a job like that?😂

Awesome! I really appreciate whoever is uploading these. I miss both Dirt Everyday and Roadkill.

I don't understand tv shows. Buy a truck, fix it up, use it for the show, park it to let it rot. Sell them off , someone will drive them

[@alertgasper]

well, the parts get donated so no cost to the show, then they sell ads building it, and toss it aside for the next episode.

[@Mark-um7ey]

To sell a modified vehicle to the public can hold you responsible for any liability as a corporation in some states especially Cali. If someone was to have an accident because of a failure of a modified part it could result in a lawsuit for the Corp. and not worth the risk for a couple dollars when you are worth millions. Supplier donates the parts and gets advertising in the article of builds and whomever accepted the parts typically sign a contract saying that they will not sell the parts on a vehicle kinda like the scenes that show the hub being installed incorrectly, could have ended in an accident on public highway best case scenario being bad publicity for the supplier because of failure and could have ended in death or property loss lol

[@chloehennessey6813]

too much liability. Anything breaks and someone gets hurt Motortrend can be held accountable, especially in effed up states like California. Not worth the $1,000-$10,000 they’d maybe get for one.

[@shabadoo24]

@@chloehennessey6813 I'm in eastern Canada. As soon as the bill of sale is signed after money is exchanged, the seller isn't liable for anything.

This was a perfect episode for me. Squares, dole check, and fried burger.

[@joepitts3638]

The Warn Premium and standard hubs use the same guts, the only difference is in the dial section of the assembly. the premium hubs have better sealing for mud, but they are not any stronger than the standard hubs.

[@xmo552]

When zapping the rear yoke with the impact.... doesn't that pull the pinion out of mesh?

[@AZFarmFun-hp1cu]

@@xmo552 Yes, and in my experience there is a crush washer with that style rear diff. They probably don’t care in this case because this truck will be completely trashed before excessive ring & pinion wear is a concern.

[@xmo552]

@@AZFarmFun-hp1cu Thanks. Due to insecurities like this, I tend to stay out of something simple like a locker or limited slip install.

[@spamanator666]

It's all available on HBO Max now, you might have to use a VPN.

[@YTN3rd]

@@spamanator666 Have tried HBO Max (and other US streaming services), they block a bunch of VPNs, and those they don't I cant get through billing because they wont accept my AU credit card. MotorTrend site itself didn't block VPN, but wouldn't accept payment methods. I'll give it another shot and see if I can get past it now.

Wait, what happened to the street drivability after the new hubs? And how did the truck turn green?

The hubs and locker problem may be the result of a 3/4 ton truck with more traction than an M1 Abrams. Let the tire spin before the drive shaft twisting.

[@jebwatson]

[@jimjoe9945]

Change the rear yoke but don't change the seal? Why?

[@jeremyb4493]

Probably a combination of production/episode time constraints, Roadkill-ish repair theme ethics aka bare minimum and it not being someone's prized personal vehicle.

[@henkoosterhof5947]

@jimjoe9945 as a mechanic i agree with you. But it wasnt leaking. So the repair was only a new yoke. The start was to repair what did not work. So no leaks no repairs.

[@henkoosterhof5947]

I noticed the complete shaft turning under the toque of power needed. This yoke will not live long and happy?

[@photondebuger45]

Usually when it doesn't leak you really don't want to touch it because it can possibly make it worse. If it does then by all means do it, however usually the seal rides on the yoke and seals against that. If they got a new one already then it has a perfect sealing surface already and if it didn't leak before then it really won't then. Like your cam seals and crank seals if they are leaking do it if they are not do NOT touch them can give you more headache than what it's worth. That just means you kept on your oil changes and kept those seals good.

[@AZFarmFun-hp1cu]

Probably because there is no gear lube in the diff. 😂

Shame they took such a straight truck and purposefully smashed it against rocks and trees.
