building a 1,700hp 4wd drag truck from SCRAP PARTS

[@LawrenceTolman]

Whats your vote for color? Arrival blue, Silver Birch Metallic, or something else?

[@scotthultin7769]

Red that's Budweiser red

[@StinkieManCheese]

Arrival Blue all day long! or the blue that's used on the 2019 Camaros

[@truaxmatthew]

Either of blues will look really good, red, black and white vehicles are everywhere.

[@gkc5713]

Arrival Blue!!!

[@sporttruck5103]

Arrival Blue 😉

[@scroungelounge3085]

Arrival blue, and many thanks for NOT putting holes in the hood OR fenders. Sleepers rule!

[@jakewade7388]

Blue all the way for me.

[@Synthfidel]

Second

[@TheRedsuper1]

Third

[@rileywistaff3784]

Fourth

[@originalzins5654]

Dark blue 🔥🔥

[@hunterjames8251]

Gotta do the 4wd shootout with Cleetus McFarland when it’s done. Things going to be a monster and leave it tri color for the ultimate sleeper for now lol

[@TXDomer]

Leave the colors as is, Frankentruck! 😂

[@swissroll71]

Make it the REAL ugly truck

[@EreksonJ]

Call it "Lego"

[@gerry-p9x]

It's. ALIIIIIVE!!😊😊😊

[@Rob-ec8xv]

Yes. Yes. And yes. Don't change a damn thing with the paint. Don't sand. No body work. No clear coat. Make it the definition of a junkyard parts truck sleeper.

[@itzaemayne]

Honestly looks awesome as the junkyard look, just seeing people’s faces as you pass them up is the best feeling.

[@waynemurphy8363]

Cool! Leave it as it is. All three colors. Spend the money on all of the things to get it running!

[@teaguegearhart9851]

I want blue. This thing is ready for some parts and an engine.

[@danielbremner7805]

It's great to see this progress, LT! I can hear in your voice that you are encoraged and excited by this progress. Thanks for the great content that you made, all while running the shop too. It is great to hear your thiught process on why you make the choices you make, like the HVAC delete to save weight and make room for electrical that was displaced by turbos. Great job overall!

[@hotrodtex2124]

Please do silver birch with an HD hood and 06/07 grill. Love the progress of the truck

[@atheplummer]

If your considering a air/water intercooler, I wanna throw this idea at ya. How about running a A/C compressor on the engine, with A/C coils inside the water tank, run a fuel loop through it, and use engine coolant as the liquid. The colder the air, the more power. Plus, the more consistent the inlet air temp is, the easier to stay on top of the tune, in varying weather conditions.

[@diztroy1]

If you google "interchiller" a few companies already make something like this.

[@DaInfamous0ne]

Vintage air could be a game changer if he did this.

[@robertmceuen3630]

I see safety glasses! But... you are the best vehicle person I have ever seen., without using the words welder, fabricator, fitter, etc. Wow dude, you're impressive.

[@fartzr.schmelli3351]

LT with the collision repair! Skills and know-how for the win!!!

[@stephenvolkhardt8036]

I really like the blue, I don't see many in that color. Awesome project, love the content on your channel!

[@fantomson5035]

Hey LT, You have the "Ugly Truck" that is 2WD... this one is AWD , why would it not be "Twice as Ugly" Just a thought, that's all. Love the progress

[@alex_8025]

I 2nd this movement. Leave it as is all multicolour, and dub it "twice as ugly"

[@NeverLetOff]

The blue for sure

[@codypatrick5559]

I love this build and I’m so over seeing the crazy out the hood crap. I like how you keep things neat and built with a purpose.

[@LSX_Tony]

Loving the weekly posting LT. This is in my top 3 channels to watch. Keep up the great work. Maybe one day you’ll be able to get back to 2 weekly. No pressure at all though, looking forward to all the upcoming content!

[@StinkieManCheese]

I love following this build! Keep up the great work Lawrence!

[@steveh4837]

Hey LT, I know “it’s only money”, but I’d disassemble the body and have it all painted and done separately; have that frame coated and done too. I’m saying make it nice; treat yourself to something nice…truly make it a factory built drag truck. You’ve already got the sleeper vibe going with the Ugly Truck.

[@bluecollarhotrods9781]

I like the blue, I like the silver, and I also like the patch work quilt/multi-colored look as well. AS for people wondering why you put it together and take it apart multiple times - that's how you get it dialed in my experience. I feel like you have to build the car/truck at least twice before you blow it apart the final time to paint everything. A 6.2L would be great in the S10, but you have the 5.3L and I like the whole budget/use what you have aspect of that route. Needless to say - but you have a full plate and all of the work to go with it.

[@Beto-e4m]

The silver Birch Looks amazing with the black tint and silver birch all the way

[@jasonsapp792]

I have watched as you built the engine .. it gives me daydreams on my Suburbans 496 ... Truck is starting the rocker rust they are known for... Maybe one day I will follow some of your build tactics on my engine... This is gonna be a KoOl truck your building!

[@danielfiske9849]

Keep it all 3 colors. Junk yard Sleeper!!😊

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

I absolutely love the blue. I also want to thank you for the in depth videos you did on the rear suspension. I'm going to be doing some very similar with my way overpowered '78 Dodge truck.

[@leviwoodring6101]

Do arrival blue With the bottom half silver birch. Two tone. Would look great.

[@joeystrains.9316]

Arrival blue with nostalgic black and silver racing stripes. Very cool truck.

[@hughobrien4139]

I sure like the orange 🍊 color done on the earlier truck. That blue color looks okay only because of the silver next to it. That silver is too dark. If I were to go silver it would be very light silver. That orange and black sure does look nice. It may be one of those colors that once you’ve done it you get tired of looking at it but for myself it never seems to get old.

[@70sAirForceBrat]

Lt, with what your truck looks like right now it reminds me of the VW Harlequin you know the multicolored VW golf that the dealerships had out for display back in the day. They're worth a pretty penny when found in good shape.

[@turk3sh]

Silver Birch for me 👍🏾

[@mrmoss149]

I just polished my son's headlights ( same front end as yours) and he thanked me by buying LED units( both upper & lower housings). The ones I cleaned & clear coated aren't anywhere close to being as dulled as yours are- if you want them...

[@Compactor_08]

Old school two tone. Blue on bottom, grey on top 2/3

[@xozindustries7451]

I’m glad to see some work being done, I’d get it on the track like that before you paint it, you can paint it during the winter

[@juanbtf]

Please leave it this color(s) lol. It would be awesome to have a sleeper like that! 😍😎🔥

[@deanm4138]

I’m with you keep it all under the hood factory style. I’d go with the blue for sure

[@Twinbonding]

Great video. I'm really looking forward to the outcome of this build. I was really hoping it was a time lapse build. Shucks! I agree with you on the sleeper junk yard look. I absolutely love sleepers they're definitely my favorite genre of quick vehicles and that would be the ultimate sleeper! King of all sleepers. My vote is with all 3 colors. 👌

[@camslyrics7715]

Dude this is sick. Dream projects all over your shop. Watching every video, every second. Subscribed.

[@usscott]

Love the sleeper look.

[@aaronm6710]

Being from New England and having a bunch of mechanic friends, I've always disliked nissan because of rust a few years ago. I moved to the big island of Hawaii. I bought a 05 frontier nismo with 190k and fell in love with the platform. Yes, it needed a ton of work less. The p0420 code has been on for the last 2 years. But a good oil change and only running 91+ octane, and she runs like a top thanks to z1 for shipping me all the parts I needed to repair and enjoy my truck.

[@douglash3129]

Wow LT, that shock bracket is really nice!!

[@DaInfamous0ne]

I wish I had this man's expertise. Because wow!

[@sonicboom2723]

Im excited about this build , I have a Z-71 cateye sleeper. I personally like the black cause thats what color I'm doing mine.

[@kimherrick9615]

Paint it blue. FYI power Driven Diesel has a junker drag truck. Im lovin the build.

[@gkc5713]

Thought for consideration: put the battery under the dash next to other electronics in place of the HVAC box. That will keep you from having to run long cables. Might have to find a cleaver exterior cutoff by the passenger side, but it could also move “some” weight to that side too.

[@atheplummer]

I think the track rules forbid a battery (and fuel cell) to be in the passenger compartment.

[@eric_emenhiser]

Blue! And...how do you only have 154k subscribers?!?!? Your content is deserving of 5x that many!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Much appreciated!

[@erichildreth7562]

Nice work LT and it is cool to see this truck coming together!!

[@chadmetcalf2876]

Keep it the multi-color wonder! If I had to pick one though I would go with the blue.

[@kens5197]

Can’t wait to see how this turns out. I helped a guy in high school build a 78ish chevy step side. Was his daily driver for years. 496 with 200 shot of nitros it would run mid 7’s all day long.

[@wycks-5095]

SILVER COLOR WOULD LOOK SO CLEAN!!!

[@BenJam739]

Straight sleeper!!!! either leave it exactly how it is! Or the arrival blue but matte

[@LeslieOtwell]

Nice to see you still wrenching on trucks LT!

[@Rando-nu5vn]

I think that blue is a nice color with some smoked out lights and black bumpers and wheels

[@aslacker]

Great job on that fuel filler neck. Blue all the way for me!

[@danielvega2254]

Love the build! Keep it up LT. I vote silver, always loved that color 👍

[@Polycarboneight]

Awesome work good sir! Hyped to see it in action! Also a magic blue perhaps would look good on it :D

[@jeremyparsons2944]

BLUE!

[@mr.multiverse8159]

i had to subscribe when you made that adjustment to the fender and it was perfect

[@helenkemp2061]

Arrival blue definitely!

[@suave871]

This truck is becoming my favoriite build.

[@ajtaylor889]

Blue would look sick

[@GoFastGator]

You don’t have to rock the Johnny Cash Junkyard look to have a sleeper. Clean paint on a stock appearing truck will have everyone thinking paw paw is just on his way down to the store for beer and a scratcher. 😝

[@Tnomoney]

Those headlamps are smoked😮😮😮

[@GlizardWizard3Oh8]

The frankintruck thing is kinda sweet. Would be as sleeper look as it gets lol

[@davestewart9146]

My vote is for the blue, great video 👍😁

[@TheBeerBox80]

Do blue with silver in the middle of the body. Like a throwback to the GMT400.

[@brianproffitt7263]

Hell yeah i like how you took two trucks and made one 🤟🏻

[@JK-xz1lt]

Arrival Blue all the way. It's my favorite color in the SS line.

[@terrysaenz3009]

Amazing how we can tell a vehicle by its sound.

[@kenstevens4958]

Silver would be my first choice with blue a close second. As for the name, you referred to it as the Lego truck early in the video and I think that would be a great name since it’s going to be a whole bunch of pieces and parts stuck together and I believe the sum of the parts will be greater than the donors were!

[@diztroy1]

I get not needing heat or AC, but you may miss the defroster depending on your climate and what times of the year you drive it. May be worth looking into a smaller aftermarket heater/defroster combo.

[@lowbudgetbob1155]

Pewter is the cab color. Blue is my favorite color and that truck would look sweet in blue....

[@jamesodegard9574]

Arrival blue with silver birch two tone would be really cool!

[@ulisesarreola919]

love these type of projects

[@HydraDax]

If you have any leftover bed material from patching the gooseneck hole. You should attempt to make a fuel door. Could make it something that quarter turns into the tube.

[@venombob3364]

yeah that blue is actually really nice but those trucks also look good in the silver imo

[@MM-tw6cm]

as a new sub- dont think i have a lotta pull- but- i have a 2007 civic si that is being completely rebuilt- rust out- metal in, and the colour is some degree of royal blue (metalic) there's my vote ! BLUE !!! :)

[@shtboxyj8406]

Im partial to the silver birch. Like my 2500, 2wd, base model, lowered, truck norris 6.0L. But that blue is pretty killer! I love the newer Mazda metallic red. That's probably the color going on my 66 pontiac tho.

[@itsbanzyt7117]

i just found out your channel and watch this entire video but please leave the blue, grey, black but fr you got a new subscriber fss

[@devonmarcum6431]

Blue definitely would look the best but the silver would look like more of a work truck

[@donaldwatson6342]

Blue for the base color with the silver birch for a unique 2 tone look.

[@FuzzyRSK]

Real excited for this build.

[@evilmcfluffin6774]

i like black but since the other extended cab is black im gonna say blue glad to see the channel still growing keep at er love the content

[@joeroad6618]

Blue is my choice, gives more pop!

[@atheplummer]

2003 only 'Arrival Blue' is much more a rare color than any silver. Plus when done, that makes a beautiful truck, add antique white lettering and it's even more appealing. paint code # Arrival Blue Metallic, WA815K/91

[@c0wb0yTV]

YOU RULE LT! so happy for you

[@OriginalMomo]

If it’s the scrapyard racer, every panel should be a different color lol. Fenders, doors, roof, hood, bed sides, tailgate…. Everything.

[@joeschweighardt8235]

do you have a video on that front suspension? and are you thinking of selling or sharing plans for the coil over brackets?

[@petelemon8984]

love the blue! but 4 tone would be fun.

[@llwood78]

Those coilover brackets look like they gonna be all sorts of in the way for the turbo kits

[@ericbrenner690]

Keep it as is. Blue fenders, silver cab, and black bed with a 1000+ hp BBC. Unique and no one that knows about your truck will think it's just clapped out until you smoke them. I am wondering why LT didn't take out the windshield. It seems like it would be easier to get to those bolts and access to the future roll cage.

[@LawrenceTolman]

It’ll definitely come out when it’s roll cage time

[@SteveNicholson-tk2se]

LT its north maine steve i havnt been able to catch up w you for a bit good to see things going well go for the blue i had a 04 2509hd 4x4 single cab on 35s that blue was sharp everybody loved the blue color i havnt had the truck in a decade plus and folks still remind me they loved the old blue color and loved the look of it

[@erikthered9357]

If you're going to paint it, I would go with the blue. Everybody does silver and black. Paint it, put all the factory badging on it including the z71 stickers for the sleeper look, most wont expect it.

[@TwiztedGamingNetwork]

where did you get the weld in conversion mounts for the front end swap? i have a 2000 yukon Xl that i want the HD front bumper and grill every video iv seen until yours was some backyard assery. i would trust the full weld in more

[@Patric-Kole]

If you go with and air to water intercooler, you could put the coolant tank under the dash where the HVAC box was at.

[@SylveonSaber]

17:15 Only real car guys drop everything to hear that cool car driving by, my bet's on an S550 5.0 Mustang :)

[@kevinlowkscabello7348]

Arrival blue for the win 🏆

[@beardoe6874]

Don't give up on the HVAC unless you have to. It's horrible to need to move a vehicle but the windshield is fogged and you have no defrost. Mock up all the engine, turbo kit and electronics first, then see what it will take to keep the HVAC. If it's not too much, keep it.

[@Onethirtytwo]

It'd be cool if you could get some of the guys from Power Nation to do guest appearances every now and then.

[@kevenhiemie]

Blue with a red and white pinstripe.

[@builtmikesway1167]

Awesome channel man, it's funny I just did the front bumper mount on my single cab AWD turbo. Almost made my truck hole too... Few parts to go. It will be hole in the next video forsure. My fuel cell is in the same spot too. Great job keep it up.
