Built LS Powered Chevy C10 | Cammed and Slammed “Shop Truck”

Old Anvil Speedshop has become one of my favorite builders around because of the engineering behind the company. Paul, owner/builder has an engineering background and understand suspension/chassis geometry as good as anyone out there which makes for truly great driving vehicles no matter the set up. This LS powered "shop truck" is a perfect cruiser that not only looks and sounds great but could be daily driven so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Something about old trucks screaming down the road and laying frame is the best vehicle in my eyes

[@stungbystinger209]

💯

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love em too

[@obsidian....]

This is the perfect type of owner/fabricator combo I love to hear from. No sales pitch, just passion and facts 👍👍👍

[@jamesshirley5875]

Best part about this truck, my man used convo pros, spectacular!

[@stungbystinger209]

Center Line’s 💪🏼

[@bourbonandbeard9721]

Can't wait to see him progress and see future builds

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same here. His team is doing killer work

[@deegan727]

Badass. This guy has built some of the nicest and prettiest rods around and this is what he builds for his cruiser👍 People that see that going down the road probably think “look, a lowered old farm truck with 1980s American Racing wheels”. They couldn’t be more wrong. I actually learned quite a bit just from his interview without him going into detail and having to show anything. This guy has a wealth of knowledge on chassis setup. I worked in the NASCAR industry till 2003 so hearing some of his inside info on it brought back some memories. Awesome vid. Thanks for this one.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Paul is a cool great and knows what he’s talking about. His understanding of suspension and chassis geometry is very impressive

[@CyberDocUSA]

Love how this guy kept it looking original on the exterior and subtly refined everything hidden to make it gel as a daily driver. Bright guy. Thanks for shring.

[@stungbystinger209]

completely agree with u. this is sweet build.

[@jayweiss4378]

Something cool about that 66 Rusty Sleeper Barn Find look on the outside and when you open the hood ….it’s 2024😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

Very cool

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

My favorite gen of all time. My dad has a 56 but I love this model.

[@jayweiss4378]

Right turn Clyde

[@Enjoytheinbetween]

This is the shop I would want to build my car! Plus he’s running 15s, got to love it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love that they build drivers not “show cars”

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

I've been following these guys for a while , top notch, innovative stuff all the way.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Great shop building cool vehicles

[@havingfunwithtaegan6624]

One the best car content channels period. Keep them coming. Awesome work

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you. Wait til you see the drift truck vid this Friday coming up!

[@hpjunke]

The coolest owners of a badass shop i’ve ever meet. Love ya guys Paul and Jenna keep doing what you guys do ..

[@budhardy5853]

Love it!! I built and own a 66 C10 Resto Mod. Love the sound of the 3" exhaust!!

[@sumtincrazy1]

Love it! I been looking for someone to take my 62 stepside to and I think I found the guy. I from the the OC and am close to them. Thanks for the video!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I highly recommend a visit with Paul & Old Anvil

[@stungbystinger209]

you cant go wrong with Old Anvil Team. They are legit and in the city of Orange. Paul and Jenna are great owners and run amazing company.

[@mikewitdaOBS]

Wow the fact all those parts are made in house as mind blowing and the logo looks dope!! I wish I had a shop similar local to me but old anvil is definitely a one in a million shop

[@FrisellFan01]

Well, we have another fine shop that does exceptional work in house fabrication ...something I will always have huge respect for. You can't go wrong with old trucks I never get tired of this.....I hope to see more of vehicles like this !

[@keystonekrawler6242]

I just wanted to say, I love Dave. That dude’s style and sense of humor is impressive. “I didn’t realize it was a Chevy, I’ll get something to catch the oil.” 😂 Awesome truck by the way….

[@Nicolas_Carras]

I just went on Old Anvil TV. They do a very good job. The "900hp Hemi-Powered 1968 Charger for the Al Sloniker Memorial Award at the 2024 Grand National Roadster Show" is superb. It seems that there is Mister Davis at the end of the video. Best and good continuation!

[@aaronk4241]

This guy is a genius

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yes he is

[@lukiw7044]

Simple and clean build. This vintage air control panel is pretty cool. Great episode. Greetings

[@paulhammond3488onetime]

Another nice truck love the C10 thanks Sean…..

[@phumlanindlovu5653]

These episodes are getting better and better🥺🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GCMJR]

Seeing these engineers build well balanced stuff is incredible- so many (me) suffered from Frankensteining great parts, that may not go too well together.

[@cajiapgto1298]

67??? That’s the next gen Shawn😉 Cool big window truck and that frame and drivetrain are sweet! It’s amazing how popular these trucks have become. Back in high school there was a sweet 64 stepside that a guy had. My dad had a 66 long bed and a 65 4x short bed, unfortunately he had to unload both to put a down payment on his first house. All these trucks inspired my love for these trucks and I’m working on a 61 that I hope to drive soon. Keep the cool vehicles coming!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool builds from these guys and we’ll shooting more with Paul soon. Lots more to show

[@jamesmarze9850]

I always look forward to watching some autotopia after work. Good job Sean

[@PhillyDee215]

Nice build...

[@toddclark332]

Dude lovethis body big back window love the old school combo Pros thanks for the cool OK later bro

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such a cool shop truck! Love it

[@kennethrgray9512]

Nice 66

[@jrmotorsports5532]

Slick build. That truck looks great!

[@Nyx_88888]

after your channel I want a c10 build.... you are making my future life more expensive Shawn

[@AutotopiaLA]

I hear ya! It’s painfully obvious I need to figure out to be very rich!

[@1987whitez]

He is so correct about speaking the mathematics of the auto, so much math included with redoing these cars. When you watch Texas Metal a lot of math is involved.

[@Nyx_88888]

Cool dude,

[@paulthompson8642]

Ship it i love it

[@jjcrazylegs7081]

My high school truck for me with a 383 and 456 in the rear. Miss that truck! I have tried to find it so I can buy it back but no luck! Nice truck!

[@ChevyBoiiJD]

How’d u like the 4:56?

[@sru1436]

That intro is on point!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Our editor Kyle crushing it again

[@jb2oldies69]

Nice c10 👍👍👍👍

[@hotrod2321]

I love old trucks. This is just awesome. Sounds great. Hope he keeps the paint like it is. Looks soo cool.

[@ronbusa3735]

Wow man so many good things to say about the whole video.. Thanks!!

[@christophwilhelm6431]

This truck is outstanding. I would love to rock an old truck (nothing like this) for the simple reason of less electronics and not worrying so much about what might happen to it parked on the street like I do with a modern truck.

[@richheider8455]

Love it Own the 65 Chevy custom camper pick up. ❤ Those trucks came with 327, 300 horse 2 speed automatic originally did he keep the original motor 😁👍👍🤙

[@adrianblade5015]

[@suffolkmike1]

I had a 65 pickup that looked like this one. I put a fiberglass tilt front-end on it and built a 400 Pontiac motor i got out of a early Trans Am. Really nice street rod and i kept it about 20 years but sold it.

[@wslcfarm]

As always enjoyed the show!! Thanks so much..

Tuning in from Buffalo, New York.

Cool looking '66 Chevy C10.

Yeah…tough truck for sure

[@TheTheboomwearcompan]

@@AutotopiaLA No doubt. I wouldn't mind driving that C10.

[@AutotopiaLA]

@@TheTheboomwearcompan it would probably be a daily for me

[@TheTheboomwearcompan]

@@AutotopiaLA Same here that C10 is cool.

[@ljsites]

I like a lot about this truck. One thing I’m impressed with is the ORIGINAL patina. I don’t get going to the trouble to paint imitation patina when you could use the same time and $ to put a really nice paint job on a vehicle.

[@maya00795]

Awesome shawn........ Great job buddy......... Greetings from india🇮🇳🤠🤠🤩🤩🤘🏻🙌

You must trust this guy's shop to drive around with no shoulder belts after that accident video I saw recently.

I do. I prefer more but trust his build completely

Hermosa Chevy 👍👍

[@allanIngham]

A Ford guy worried about dropping oil 😅

[@alexvelez2141]

Looked like ultimate headers to me. Maybe they just used the flange?

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

To be fair replacing suspension with something 30+ years newer might not be right (geometry wise) but its not wrong in terms of upgrading over standard old truck parts.

[@DeuceBoyBilly]

Oops...I ve got a 88 C4 front suspension that I want to put on my 56 3100 using a flatout kit. Yeh its probably not the perfect way, but it has to at least drive a bit better than the original setup😅

[@Nyx_88888]

lets blow it up and Geta third pedal!

Yes!

Is this truck for sale?

Do you know what short block means?

[@ChevyBoiiJD]

A engine without the heads.

[@lutherjackson_]

Not into the slammed look, but nice build

[@AutotopiaLA]

In certain settings like this I think that look is cool but I hear ya

[@lutherjackson_]

@AutotopiaLA Being from the south we like lowered, but not slammed. I have a 66 Stepside, and I think I'm going with a 2/4 drop.👍

Falta emoción se ve pesada igual que la otra tímidos para correr

Perfect truck except the ass needs to be 1 to 2 inches above the front,a lil rake,looks carolina squattish in its current form.

There again, there's nothing unique about this truck . it's lowered. It's got a modern drive train under it .and its Begged. And it has patina, so do a 1000 other trucks.👎

This one sucked

Sorry to disappoint…check back in this Friday to see a wild drift truck throwing it around
