[@johnskeens2895]

[@kennyhayes8488]

[@wickedvegas702]

[@carolegischel8099]

Even your grandma would love to watch you fix this diamond in the rough. Love you Tommy

[@peetduplessis7401]

Thanx Grandma, i am sure Tommy is the best of the bunch

[@fredyounger5850]

Tommy as long as your happy that's all that counts.

[@kevinhoing7129]

Dude you stole that truck. Yes please do a series on it. Love those trucks.

[@JohnnyBoy1969]

All young men need a project like this it will keep them out of trouble! You have a good head on your shoulders Tommy, There's a lot of young men out there that need a good role model to look up too these day's, I know you might not ask for it but there watching and your doing a great job whether you know it or not.

[@408foxbod]

Hearing your dad at the end say “I’m gonna drain your battery” to your mom is priceless!😂😂😂

[@paulrm_7917]

Yes sir, we do wanna see the build on this channel!! That thing is freaking sweet! I want one now!!! Great content for the channel and can provide income for the project!

[@1975napier]

We definitely want to see this build. Look forward to seeing the end result.

[@justinsnider3507]

Order you a LMC catalog for the year model your truck is. They have every part youll need for your truck. Youll learn how to work on it and do the cab Corners and rocker panels.

[@tommyhoskinson3662]

Been looking into that

[@justinsnider3507]

There are the only ones that has all the parts for your chevy truck

[@justinsnider3507]

They'll send you a thick catalog for your Chevy truck for free

[@Pyle81]

LMC is the BEST source for old Chevy truck parts. I can contest to that.

[@KevinB1]

Plus you have access to a welder, big plus!! :)

[@michaelmoore8680]

What an amazing father. I hope you realize how lucky you boys are. A lot of us never had a father so supportive and encouraging, if we had a father at all. Cool truck too, be careful trucks are addictive. There's only one car that I would rather drive than a truck, and I don't have it anymore so a truck it is for me. Good Luck

[@johnamiracle9699]

Absolutely Tommy For sure you recorded we will tune in great content buddy

[@1982MCI]

Awesome!!! A new video from SRC Photo!! Finally!! I thought SRC Photo had forgotten about 20k+ subs out here. It’s awesome to have you back Tommy, we’ve missed you!! Now.............. Now, you made a fantastic buy Tommy!! Anytime you can either sell it out right or part it out for more than you paid, then you’ve scored young man. There are many, many good channels out here that will guide you through the process of putting new cab corners and rockers in. You’ve got the tools you need, it’s not hard but you do need to follow the right steps. I’ve been doing paint & body work for 40+ years and I started out just like you except I started around 10 years old. For $1,200, you did well young man!!

[@Bucketheadland1]

Great deal Tommy.. don't be hard on urself, ya made the right move 👊💪🏁

[@ziggy8013]

Seeing a young man taking pride into fixing up a truck that was part of my childhood….big thumbs up. Look forward to seeing the progress. Good luck!

[@mocarpenter8836]

Definitely do a build series!!! 💯

[@ronldtarin9851]

Set up the camera break out the tools let's see the videos

[@kerrylemoine3943]

Beautiful pickup truck! I have 1992 chevy silverado single cab with fleet side and good ol 4.3 V6, all original, runs great.. everything original on the truck except the rims. Interior is ok, exterior is ok, too. I sold it 3 years ago. Still today, I see it other day, running strong. Like to see more channels on it. Keep up the great work and congratulations

[@brandonburdette7895]

Definitely would in joy a build with the truck I miss my 93 Silverado ext cab so bad it's great to get to see the body style again

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

Don’t be afraid of learning as you go. It’s how you learn. I think learning is the fun part.

[@robertlawler1387]

Don't beat yourself up too bad,I had a 89 and motor was one of the best and dependable. As far as the body work ya have the garage and the will to learn. Besides ya got a pretty good team and family around you. Good luck on the build.

[@christopherhill6064]

I've got a few things. The under hood light should be on Bill work dually. The vanity light in the mirror just unplugs at the mirror. Great deal on that truck Tommy. I had a 90 swb k1500 back in the mid 90s. It was red and had a 4.3 V6. My body shop friend talked me into painting it yellow. So I blew it apart and painted everything yellow. I also installed a 20k mile tbi 350 in place of the V6. It turned out pretty sweet. I had also lowered for awhile. Eventually raised it back up.

[@markram45]

Yes on the build. I would love to learn along with you!

[@shawnadams1558]

Little Trick on the bumpers, use a 0000 steel wool... Works really good!

[@robertfandel9442]

Steel wool probably won't fix the back one

[@shawnadams1558]

No but it still works great for shining up chrome quickly.

[@bobbysmith8120]

Tommy we'd love anything y'all want to video and thanks for sharing your life with us keep up the great videos y'all are doing Great from Alabama 👍💪 💪🇺🇸❤️

[@johnschiefelbein917]

For sure do a budget build and restore your truck. Your truck is rare as you already know and they are worth big bucks restored. Plus it will be fun to drive and people will be trying to buy it from you once you finish working on it. DO NOT SELL IT!!! Keep it, it will only go up in price and get even rarer to find one. Enjoy the hell out of itTommy, you did really great buying it!!!

[@rwn803]

That was a good deal on the truck. Practice makes perfect so don't get frustrated doing the body work. Just take your time. Like any job you will become better with time and experience. I'm looking forward to the next video.

[@trevorstein4603]

Absolutely yes to a GMT400 budget build!

[@chaddailey3131]

I would love to watch your progress on the truck. It looks real good for the year of it

[@PAnate308]

100% want to see that. There is a truck I drive by every day. I am now motivated to go rescue that Chevy stepside.

[@kjvbiblestudybenny564]

You got the perfect foundation to start learning you have space support and years of knowledge surrounding you buddy i was thinking its about time tommy gunz started his own project. good luck and God bless SRC family great content.

[@wadepreston5298]

I think we all would like to see you show that truck some love! 👍👌✌️

[@young11984]

I love seeing progress builds from no go to slow, progress is progress and good time to learn what it takes to do body work/weld, shaping panels back to what they should be.

[@mda7075]

I was going to say bunches of folks would love following your budget build and especially how you went about learning a few new things, but 1.2 thousand beat me to it!

[@birkhofstad1054]

One big "Let's go Brandon" sticker away from perfection

[@Pyle81]

And @SRCPhoto don't go and buy any. I have some of those stickers for you guys. And im planning on being at Pacemakers this weekend with them. And I found something for Alison also..

[@michaelwynne4346]

FBFT

[@tbrad110]

Ls swap it

[@honeybadgerstudios21]

Trump isn’t going to sleep with you lil bro

[@safetydave8770]

Of course we want to see a series. I don’t have the patience for marketplace hunting. That’s definitely a great find.

[@stephencsldwell3359]

That would be a fantastic build series 👏 something different from all the other channels start to finish 🥰🤟🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘👍👍stephen caldwell from Northern Ireland

[@coreylandry2440]

Parts are plentiful for those trucks. I've owned one for the last 24 years and they really are good trucks. Your issues are common and not bad to fix. Take your time,ask questions and make it your own. Have fun.

[@ernestbell6042]

Hang in there young-un, YOU CAN DO IT !!!

[@joshsims4330]

Yes for sure! My first truck was a 91' step side, definitely brings back old great memories!!

[@serget2168]

Absolutely interesting to see you do a budget build especially to see what it cost.

[@courseydl]

Gotta do a build series on it. I also have a 92 standard cab short bed, I've had it since 98. These trucks have always been my favorite and it's awesome seeing you youngsters enjoying these old trucks and cars.

[@HouseLightweight]

Man I'd love to have an OBS chevy stepside in as clean of condition as that one. I mean yeah it's has a few minor imperfections here and there but nothing a little elbow grease and TLC can't correct.

[@deerchaser7395]

Got a 96 k1500 reg cab step side in my yard that is 100% original and clean it has the original cab corners and rockers from 96 don’t drive it much it’s something that is getting parked in the shop on Jack stands for the winter

[@snr2707]

Brooo! Keep it a step side please! I graduated in 2004. We all had this gen trucks. I had a blue step side with a 355, little bit of compression, and a decent cam. Just like this one and lowered a couple inches. Stock wheels. This one takes me back for sure. Wishing you the best with it Tommy!

[@jamesthetford2516]

Awesome job Tommy I'd love to see the build that you're going to do

[@davidwilliamson7462]

The truck looks pretty good considering it is an up north truck and has very little rust. I think you did OK. I would like to see you do a budget build and filming everything you are doing. In the end, I believe we all will be impressed.

[@thecapturban]

Tommy just use your dad's old hood off the dually, yall prolly still got it since he put the cowl inducted hood on it

[@Pyle81]

Absolutely 100% it will fit. Its a 93 or 94. There all the same from like 88 (in the 1500 and 2500) up threw 1998. The early 3500's (88-89) Where previous body style. But then they changed to match the others in 90 till 98. Good idea on the hood.

[@1982MCI]

@@Pyle81 it sure saves money for now and will fit into the budget build.

[@richardbates2367]

Dually I'm guessing by the dash is about a 1996??

[@richardbates2367]

Regardless yes same part and they do interchange.

[@evil16v1]

Also, go to the '94 permanent magnet starter for an upgrade. It will for the 168 tooth flexplate. You will also need the short SAE knurled bolts for it. 94 was the first for permenant magnet, but last for sae bolts, otth2er than some 95 stragglers with the new interior.

[@bartleskeet1623]

Anotha one Pops needs to get to building the new garage with how large the fleet is getting

[@Vultor]

I'm afraid the fleet is going to be sitting outside this winter. Wondering when Billy is going to get his Nova out of Molly's shop.

[@PaulRhodes420]

Yes!!! It'll be fun watching you restore this truck! Muscle it up, fun sleeper truck!!! Turbo!!!!

[@mikeedward2827]

Nice find Tommy! You seem to have your heart into this project, so I say keep it up! Can't wait to see the progress! 🤟😎

[@zeekemon]

old bodyman saying "their is no I can't - their is only I can, you just have to figure out how to do it." nice clean old truck, grew up with them when they were new and have always loved that body style. also as a 70's ford truck guy enjoy all the parts availability cause almost everything is still available

[@brianjacobs1241]

Tommy I like your family a lot keep up with your channel buddy I want to see your channel grow stay focused. If you need help those trucks are a dime a dozen out here in California if you need help with anything let me know

[@1982MCI]

They are down south as well and there’s usually a huge pile of rust free stepsides and fleet sides in the junkyards around here. With all of us keeping our eyes open for Tommy, he will have the nicest truck in Ohio come springtime or so!

[@nathanspalink5438]

I've owned 5 of these '88-'99 trucks and loved every one of them. Great trucks.

[@brianschalizki461]

you should lower it about 4 inches in the rear and 3 in the front and with that 350 in it maybe a nice cam with a nice posi rear with some hard tires it would be the most fun daily

[@rockybalboa3105]

Definitely budget build. Very savable truck. Good purchase price to be a budget build. You will have fun doing it, not to mention the pride when it’s done.

[@nickdejong318]

DEFINITELY KEEP IT A STEPSIDE! And yes to the budget build. PS I love my little S10 Blazer, don't see to many of them here downunder.

[@Wolfe752]

Good find Tommy truck isn’t to bad of shape. Keep posting as you work on it. I love watching y’all’s channel on KZbin I appreciate you your dad and brother y’all keep up the good work.

[@NoName-yr1jv]

Tommy you stole that truck for that price 👍

[@chuckdaly3164]

Got yourself a diamond in the rough as your Brother said!! Make it what you want and share your vision/ dream with all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@roberttysinger4837]

I’m not a Chevy guy, I know we all have our brand loyalties but I love that truck! My buddy had one when I was a young Marine. If it were me I would keep the flare/step side. A 350 will make it hot for what it is. Great find dude!

[@joejoe-qn4hu]

Nice looking truck kiddo everyone gets that buyers remorse at times, look at the bigger picture when you do your thing it will be your creation that makes you happy and proud.

[@brandongarrigus2450]

Tommy you got a steal, cab corners and rockers are a very easy fix on these trucks, keep the step side bed , they are great especially if you want to mini tub it.

[@danielbrasser5057]

Great idea to let us all in and watch the track get done up. All the videos clips you post are great thanks for the time you put in.

[@joemonahan2972]

Keep going forward! I have 2 Silverados budget builds. My 95 6cyl has frame rust issues that are mostly resolved. My daily driver now. Looks great now, was sitting a year ago. My 91 Z71 project is coming along. Should pass inspection in May. Will be my back up / tow vehicle. Keep moving forward! These 400 series are worth it. Next classic truck class.

[@poppysrc4225]

I like the idea of a build series. On that super cool budget truck. Chevy nothing but the best.

[@rickworkman4034]

Tommy ,you got a good if your not afraid of work ,get a another straight side bed ,door rockers ,and cab corners, get slip ins panels easy to install I did my 05 Silverado. When you get done spray foam the inside cavities,keeps water out will be gold looking when your done..

[@pauldulworth2768]

Your money. Your vehicle. Your way. Hats off to you, sir. Well done.

[@albertt2686]

My grandfather has a 89 my dad has a 94 and I have a 97. Bring on the build.

[@ll-bc7ou]

Do whatever you want Tommy we will be watching for sure.

[@marissacepeda8979]

That’s what happens when you have your dream truck nothing but smiles and motivation that’s my favorite truck as well in the search for one

[@BassS.W.A.T.]

I've had several of them 1988's - 1998's. They are great trucks and are simple to work on. The normal parts are fuel pumps, heater cores, and a rebuild on the 700R4 about every 100,000 miles.

[@beadkins312]

Absolutely keep us posted on budget building your truck!

[@garyrichardson2915]

You got it. Don’t even worry about it. Just lean in to it and pull. Even the hood is not too bad.

[@jeffreylewis9040]

Yes sir, watching a budget build would be awesome! Sharp truck!

[@Weasel3DE]

Budget is better than just writing a check, have fun you got the best team around to help

[@justinfears5869]

Obs trucks have went through the roof. Great purchase. I built a 93 a couple years ago that was headed to the junkyard that I daily now.

[@jhawk1985]

I have always loved stepside chevys. I had a 2002 chevy S-10 for years and loved that truck. It was lowered tinted windows,exhaust, torque thrust 2 wheels. Cowl hood. It ran well to be a V-6. The Silverado will be sick with some work Tommy ! 👍

[@thebadassbuickfromcamrose8541]

Definitely ....i love this built .... reminds me of my old truck

[@Drifter6942]

Yes for the budget build !! I just sold one of those. I had a mid cammed 383 stroker in it with a 5 spd manual with a locker rear diff. It was a perfect daily. if you're going to keep it a street truck, consider lowering it 2 inches. I did that with mine, and it improved the handling. plus I added a folding aluminum tonoue cover and that looked awesome

[@henryhumada2087]

Tommy that is a sweet ride. I’m a Ford guy but have always had a soft spot for those Chevy short box stepsides. Looking forward to seeing the progress in this. 👍🏼

[@erikrundberg7135]

That's very cool..like Billy said "diamond in the rough" a little time and practice it shine like new..if your happy we're happy for you..

[@josephchapman8744]

Absolutely! Give us a build series!!!

[@peterlinton]

Tommy...it's worth every penny....I got mine for $1500 and now it looks and drive fantastic 👏

[@Loki13M]

If you build it, we WILL watch... Warms the cockles to see all of you doing so much at yer ages.

[@cliftonperkins9071]

Can’t wait to see the bringer back videos. It is a good looking truck. Well done, keep the videos coming MR

[@BigMikesGarage]

Nice score. I love these trucks. Totally worth fixing up. It'll be a really sweet ride when your done with it. Wish you were closer, I'd give you a hood for it.

[@fozzysrchobbies1343]

That's a nice truck, It's all about making it your own. Can't wait to see what you have in store for it

[@bcampbell6980]

Yessss!!! Please do the budget build! I would love to watch that!

[@maverick13p]

Couldn’t of picked a better dream truck!!! I’ve been building my 92 for 4 years!!! Can’t wait to see the progress brother!

[@SlimTheGoat]

Don't be discouraged man, rockers and cab corners ain't too bad. Once you do it once you'll see it's pretty easy, just take your time. Be cool just to see it brought back to mint condition with some cosmetic add ons (cowl hood tonneau cover set of wheels and tires etc) That's a cool budget build alot of us can relate to! Either way keep up the good work man, you got a great opportunity with KZbin alot of us would kill for!

[@jheibeck6059]

Make sure you do the inner rockers with the outers if there trashed. Fit the panel over the old metal mark it with a sharpie drill the factory spot welds cut the seams just inside your sharpie marks remove the outer rocker fit the new rocker with self tappers get the rocker trimmed to the seam butt weld it plug weld the factory spots and there you go you got this tommy. It's just layers of sheet metal no big deal

[@toddsculley2710]

U got this Tommy don’t let it scare u just take your time. Don’t weld it on until your happy with it

[@jodyonken3419]

Yes keep us posted on the budget build. And keep the flare side they are rare.

[@garriejohnson4585]

I have a son your age. I wish he was more like you. I love your enthusiasm and work ethic. We look forward to the project. Great purchase Tommy!

[@Letstieoneon3194]

The S.P.O.S. is going to be The Bomb when your done Two Guns Have fun and enjoy the ride.

[@davidprieto7876]

Yes I would enjoy watching you do a build on this truck that's why my favorite body styles

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Tommy, I have a 91 OBS long bed std cab. It has over 300,000 miles, just had the 700R4 rebuilt in Pa. Good trucks. Ask Billy to teach you to weld replacement corners. 305 can take a 150 shot. Engine Masters season 1, ep 13.

[@FORDMAT77]

Absolutely we wanna see as you progress with this truck

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Nice looking little truck Tommy. The parts you need to fix your rust issues can be bought from LMC truck, and Yes, it would be great to see a budget truck build.

[@Philipw900]

Sweet truck man, I agree on just a budget build. Just the necessities. Looking forward to seeing the progress!

[@juniorjohnston4951]

LMC trucks and Brother's are the best places to find cab corner's and rockers, and rockauto for the carpet kit. Make sure you get the mass backed carpet, mass backed is the thick jute padding instead of the thin jute padding. I'm in the process of restoring my 93 ex-cab silverado
