So sick. I have an 81 j10 that's a bobbed, tubed, truggy looking thing on 37" military tread. It's got the OE drive train. This is exactly what I e been planning for it. I'm about to check out all your content on this build. Love the way you have these videos organized! Thank you very much

[@jimjohnson7626]

Awesome!!!

[@drjuangil7653]

What? I already put 10 k on mine, I feel sad that I didn’t see your video before

[@ronbetts5505]

Your videos are great inspiration. Really like Episode 3 and your three options on how/why you bought your engine. Also your running build budget/cost tally is very interesting and I can use this to convince my wife on my build. Look forward to future videos. Here are my questions...Why did you go with a Chevy? Why not a Ford or Dodge for the build?

Stupid question....why is the trans tailshaft spinning?... Assuming it isn't in gear.
