Cruising in my 4 Speed, Ls Swapped Squarebody 4x4 on 42" Tires!

#sm465 #offroad #driving
I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot of fun.... not as enjoyable as wheeling it but it's still a good time. Even though it's loud, and bouncy, I'm a huge fan of rolling the Pig through town or down a country road. Shifting gears, and mashing the skinny pedal, you have the means to put on the signal light and drive down through the ditch, a goat path you spot or any curb in your way. And when it comes to winter, it's still basically unstoppable. There hasn't been enough snow fall to date that I couldn't drive through it. Drifts are a different story... but the Pig has punched through some huge ones! A truck like this gives you the freedom and options when it comes to the weather and terrain. Whether you're bouncing through the rhubarb or echoing exhaust notes off the buildings in town, it's pretty awesome cruising in the Ditch Pig.

If you roll 40" tires or bigger on the street, put your province or state in the comments along with what tire you run.

I'm rocking 44s on my K10!!!! 👍👍👍

[@Anony___mous]

Those kids are going to remember that truck for the rest of their lives. When I was a kid, my dad had a 78 Ford short bed on 38's as a daily driver. Some of my best childhood memories were riding in that truck. I'm 31 now and I still have the truck, sitting in the corner of my shop.

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

True story, they love it. Fix that Ford up and run her. Don't forget to video it and post it on KZbin. Thanks for watching!

[@Rizo42]

Man, that’s awesome. I still remember riding around in my uncle’s old squarebody when I was a kid. Probably 20+ years ago now. Cool video!

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

Thanks, one of my favorite videos. My dad had a 4spd square in the 80s. Lots of drives in that. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂

[@craigwatson9736]

Takes me back to riding around with my dad and grandpa on our farm in their manual transmission f250 and 70 scout . Same reason I drive a 94 bronco and 69 gmc truck with manual transmissions !

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

Yep, I hear ya, it's a way of life. You can see in the comments all the other people saying the same thing lol. The nostalgia is crazy. Thanks for watching man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wheeling with my dad & uncle in the 70s turn me into a four-wheel-drive nut ! I have three jeeps that are purpose built rigs that will go anywhere that I point them. If they don’t make it, the winch will drag them through it. I have two Square Body‘s that are too nice to wheel in I just take them to the Sandune’s and play.

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

Nice! 15 years I've had this truck. I'm a lifer lol. Just like you brother. 👍🏻🤘🤘🤘

[@Crystal-ib2ub]

His truck has the best auto theft deterrent possible. It comes up out of the floorboard. Lol

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

Love the 4 speed ❤

[@rdude1184]

My dad had International Scouts. I was memorized by them. Today I have 3 jeeps and an OBS Chevy plus a 78 K5 on 38s. Love this guys truck! Rock-N-Roll!

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

@rdude1184 I had an '89 K5, all stock, but i sold it. I can only afford the Pig lol. 🐖 maybe someday I'll get rich from KZbin and buy another one..... they're worth a small fortune now! Congrats on still having one. Someday you'll be able to sell it and retire! Lol Thanks for watching brother. 👍🏻

[@Crystal-ib2ub]

Great video that's what's up. Runs good sounds even better 💯

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

Hey thanks for watching 👍I like the sound too. Went for a cruise last night.

[@CHEVYYONKEROS]

I love the sound of the engine.

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

You and me both! Stay tuned because at some point I'm gonna do an exhaust update video and make it so I can quick change the mufflers. There will be a few clips with no mufflers too. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@harryrupertus2075]

I remember back in the day when 38's were considered the ridiculous giant tires and eveyone wanted at least 35's . I had an 84 K5 Blazer with a Skyjacker 6" lift and 35's . Had so much fun in that thing. Wish I still had it. Love your truck 👍🏻🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

Yes sir! I couldn't agree more. Can't go wrong with a squarebody. Especially a 4spd one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kilacali916]

Nice I got a 72 k5 1st gen lt1 350 4 speed fun to drive

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

@@kilacali916 oh nice! Yeah that would be a fun cruiser. Yes sir👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jamesrogers6376]

That needs a Ranger Overdrive. It mounts between the bell housing and trans.. you need a 3rd over gear

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

There's no need for an overdrive, it's pretty much perfect for ratio right now. The bigger tires I added last February actually made it a little higher sped than i need but the hp of the Ls and the low sped 1st gear makes up for it.

[@magiclydelicious1]

Is the 5.3 stock besides headers?

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

It's a 6.0 with a cam and 92mm throttle body running on holley terminator. Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6SQZoSIr6ekiJI
