1962 C10 Control Arm Redo

[@michaelszarzynski8698]

I'll say something... And I'll keep saying it... Mike Bello is a "Genius Master Craftsman"

[@icedog75]

"if you're doing this kind of work you need to put the tools down"...truer words were never spoken..

[@RickBallantyne]

You have a great talent for turning someone else's dumpster fire into a well-engineered and well built product. And in this day and age it's great to watch a man who actually believes in doing right by people.

[@TwoFeathersFarm]

I think the thing I really appreciate about your work is that you take things a step or two above the next guy. Your plates and brackets are thicker, better designed, and more thought out. That goes for the rest of the builds as well. Fuel lines, air lines, sheet metal, all of it.

[@putinkhuylo]

You called it right at the beginning, Mike: "Whoever did this needs to put their tools down". Pronto!! Great fix! Just don't piss off the video guy...he's by far the best one to date. 🧐

[@darrinwatts9229]

Real AMERICAN HERO💪🏻💪🏻. Doing the right thing for good people.

[@johnboughton7451]

What makes this video stand out from the rest is the interaction between the 3 of them and you have a story within a story Mikes relationship with Carapilla & then His relationship with the Videography & explaining to them & us his understanding of the situation & the way in which he intends to put it right coming from the UK our access to the Custom Car World is limited & we are dripping fed what ever motortrend or discovery decides we are going to see But what we get with Mike is Top Quality bare bones Hot Rod design & build based on years of experience & it’s that honest approach coupled with the cameraman’s ability to capture it all & edit it out which makes us the viewer feel we are there I for one look forward to Sunday evenings when I get the opportunity to watch a true craftsman man at work & I thank all involved As for me I live in South Wales & I drove a 1949 Ford Popular/Anglia powered by a Buick 3.9 litre V8 on a full race chassis it’s brilliant Red runs a shortened Volvo 240 axle on 15x50 rear tyres so it’s fat & narrow & fast

[@therustyshoe8958]

great job. In the beginning of the video I saw how bad the tie rods looked and was like Mike is not letting that leave the shop like that, he'll fix that and by the end I was right. sweet job

[@gregorycatren3442]

Mike you can unbolt the front crossmember on a 1962 to 66 ,and take a crossmember from a 1976 and up disc brake front crossmember with power steering and it bolts in... You have to move the steering box to out side the frame and drill two holes and use two spacers... It takes about 4 to 6 hours... It's a great way to update your truck to have power steering and power disc bakes...

[@shotsrodder]

If you’re doing work like this put the tools down 😂😂😂 it took me five minutes to stop laughing. A great video and great tips Mike

[@dannypeter6565]

YAY!!!!! The old welds look more like backyard boogers. Common sense aint too common. Gonna be another happy camper cruisin Mike Bellos style. Thank you Mike. Cheers

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

Always “better at Bellos Customs “, that thing was a mess thanks for saving somebody’s life ! Great job Mike

[@christophermeyers2687]

A good and honest man Bello customs

[@vargasinrio]

If it's Sunday it has to be Bello's time better than going to church . Watch and learn from one of the great ones Gracias Carnalito for the video

[@Iamwolf2348]

Ese lokochon,the world would be a better place if all our classic cars had mechanicos like yourself...Taking pride in what you do and concern for the customer...chaa ah haaa.

[@tommysts1920]

Tell her she needs to address that differential leak. Poor old truck probably has the original grease in it the way it looks. Another great episode homie!

[@colinwhite2401]

Mike always wants to do a good job. He wants his customers happy and he is keeping a professional reputation of the best.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

[@meganmilesreidmeganmilesre7372]

Mike, show us your suspension magic on the 50 merc chilling on the other lift, how to lay frame the right way. You the man.

[@Dagrond]

Wish I had met ya when I was living down there. Would have worked for free. Love the art of your builds.

[@kevincorbin6273]

I love watching an artist at work

[@jimhartland1939]

Big yay from the here in the UK 🇬🇧

[@RonnieLeslie-cj1yj]

Be the same as boxing them. Good idea. Should be plenty strong enough. It's all about the details. Quality.

[@siscokid5272]

I'll watch just to hear your old school lingo. Great vid as always 👍✌️

[@cesard2305]

10:31 Tu ponle homie! 🤘 puro lokochon!! Backyard boogie🤙

[@Dave_Boyer]

Perfection! Turn that hacked up mess, into a masterpiece!

[@MrStacy1974]

The chop tops are cool and you do beautiful work but this kinda work keeps the lights on, even if it ain't glamorous.

[@raymondrodriguez2409]

[@dennissheridan1550]

Backyard boogie, AKA, shade tree mechanic'n. Once again the Bello's touch outshines the rest.

[@littlecesar003]

The truck has a better stance now, too. Great job

[@WolfHausMotorwerks]

Clean clean pinky ring!👍👍

[@zymeone7904]

You're an inspiration carnal. I'm building myself a low low all lokochon.

[@renenvt968]

Hi Mike whats the meaning of Carapila of is it just a name

[@cesarvillarreal4622]

That’s some home crafted jale

[@Iamwolf2348]

Great video loco. Damn i wish i lived in your neck of the woods. My 41 Chevy trokita and my 70 Monte would most definitely end up in your shop...Qvole

[@davepatrick7848]

I like the thickness of the plates you created, gotta be correct according to our calculations homie. Happy Sunday from Tejas Mike, lots of Love man!🙏💪👍🌹😎🤠

[@_Greasyzoku_]

60-62, I need some for my 1960 suburban

[@VictorPerez-ge7om]

Great job, like the thickness of material used to support the weight and air bags..

[@chorriso6703]

Keep them coming Steve.....ai carabila..get to work...😂

[@franciscotrillo8269]

Nice work Mr B also good to see a GM grill in your shop just saying .........................................................................................................................

[@williamferris7134]

Attention to detail, I like it

[@VictorPerez-ge7om]

Joe did a great job cleaning it up as well.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

A master craftsman no question, putting your stamp on something is putting your reputation on it. Respect to you my man.

[@timferriss905]

A arms look factory now. A bodge job for sure. Put right by the master, and companion. Sweet truck nice and safe now. Gnrs hope to be there. We will see.

[@michaelmendoza820]

That bracket setup for the air bags on the A arms is "clean, clean, pinky ring!" That's how it's supposed to be done. Qvo!

[@nowrist]

nothing but perfection !!

[@paulgoolsby6120]

Custom Boss!👍 Needed the Bello’s Kustoms monogram plate to make it official. Great work!

[@Mopar46]

Chalk and cheese, Mike. I like your work much better than that other bodge job! [Did you actually put your stamp on it? Musta missed it.]

[@rqbanda]

Great video Mike , I love the way you have pride in your work and look forward to the next one 💪🏽

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

Another outstanding job Mike!!!!!

[@tave9011]

Nice job, I must say it looks like snap on commercial up in there lol

[@natas619]

Great content as always☺️your videos remind me of working with my pops when i was little. He always emphasized he was not a carrocero, he was a Metalero. Youre a Metalero👍🏽

[@glosshogg]

[@stan525]

[@johnkranz4004]

Very Nice Repair Mike Excellent Job

[@shotsrodder]

Love watching you change a butcher job into a work of art 😎 nice job Mike 👍

[@TheOldaz1]

Riding and steering a whole lot better - attention to detail really helps with longevity as well. Thanks Mike, nice job.

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing, always interesting!

[@karlrosch3511]

I really like how you design brackets for different situations. Great mind for sure. As others have said you always go a step beyond and improve. By the way I love the music playing in the shop. I heard a little Hendrix today.

[@vasquez8686]

Another good job and some great work I wanna have you guys do some work on my 52

[@TheHavrelandtExperiment]

That's tight Holmes.

[@franksprecisionguesswork501]

Looking at that C 10 suspension! it was built like a tank. I bet if you hit the curb at 40 miles an hour you would just break the curb. Mike did a great job of fixing and keeping the integrity of the beast! Great video.

[@d.p.9005]

Let’s face it Señor Bello ,you’re the best fabricator and that’s a fact .

[@chiefvilla3167]

[@andysmith2155]

If they don't take time to do it right then it will take time to do it over. Respect for your work. Really enjoy watching y'all work together and the shit you give one another. Looking forward to the next video.

[@alcyon1]

Professional as always.

[@saulflores8050]

Once again you took it to another level. Fortunately that level is Bello Kustom. Hopefully who ever did the original work doesn’t take it personal and learns from this video. Elevate your game from seeing and learning from those who are at their game. 👏

[@frankennaro4572]

You’re thinking way ahead of the other guys that’s a hell of an idea being able to place that ball joint on that old Chevy truck and GMC. I love the way you engineer stuff so that it lasts a long time and it’s clean. Good job.

[@philiphoffmann4363]

Keep the Videos coming Homie

[@MrSethGr]

now that's a proper work! congrats!

[@garysistrunk1700]

As always a great job #1

[@ianwebb4286]

Awesome video guys

[@77Sunsetstrip]

This'll be a good one! 👍I hope later she wants to convert to disc brakes, at least on the front. Great Job!

[@paulblack2402]

Great job again Bellos, well done, neat work.

[@tinocojohn1]

Nice work! Professional install!

[@briankumpan9892]

we don't all have air tools at our disposal or welding and cutting torches or computerized plasma cutters, so we do with the best we have at the time. Granted if I came into some money and could afford half that stuff/tools, I would then bring the truck back in and rebuild the parts You are doing now

[@ShannonLeeKreations]

Hey Pinche Steve! Videos are coming out firme homie 💪 keep up the good work 🤘

[@cali9514]

Yup, this vato kickin ass on the vids. The music, the angles, the HD, firme.

[@steveturgeon1081]

Hahahahahaha, thanks Pinche Steve

[@allan-mw7op]

Excellent save,another happy customer ! love your videos

[@paulblack1811]

I don’t know what’s more crazy the backyard boogie plate or the fact that thing had an original upper ball joint still lol

[@rollin19]

The brake hose looks like it has too much stress on it from the weight of the spindle assembly. The plate for the control arm should of been made wider. Overall it's a good idea to make it stronger. These trucks go alot faster and have a lot more power in them than they did in the 60's and 70's. Next I would put some 245 tires on 17's on the truck,and lower the back end so the thing can handle,a rake is ok but too much will make it roll into the corners.

[@tomstiel7576]

did you replace the brake hose homie ???? bad dog homie

[@edwardmota6712]

What's it take to get on your lista for some jale de air bags Vato?

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Nice Work. Well Done. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY🇺🇸

[@jeffreybellman7250]

Outstanding.

[@javiergonzalez9077]

So long ago, seems like in another life. My Dad had early 60's trucks and after a long trip with heavy loads he'd have the wheel alignment checked out. He said these truck's front wheels were sensitive to misalignment, that they would sheer the studs and come off. I guess what I'm leading to is shouldn't you go straight to alignment after the work you did or do the air bags make that irrelevant?. With all due respect, just a question from a non-mechanic.

[@dalelittle3889]

Mike, you are the best ❤

[@OMGILBO]

Absolutely love all your work, truly amazing

[@RobertEvers-r8y]

Love the videos and great craftsmanship And detail work . Plus your honesty to do the job correctly is something that seldomly seen these days. Keep up the great work and practice a little more on the homie dance moves. Big shoutout to big Steve also.
