This is what I like about Puddin. He shows us his "screw up's" that we all make. There are some you tubers who would just edit them out and they know who they are.

[@lameasjello]

Same, I started watching because I have a Chevy LUV project I was afraid to work on, worried I might screw it up. I found his LUV Tap videos and became a fan. It's really nice to see it in action. "what happens if I screw it up?" Well, you unscrew it and keep on improving.

[@treybrown4214]

We’ve all made that face… the face where we’ve realized how bad we just messed up… lol

@@JimsIfitaintbrokefixit those and the old US slots mags are my favs of the era. other than some good oem wheels like the gt wheels from Ford or the GM Corvette or Pontiac rally wheels.

[@jamesmccormick2696]

When I was a machinist in the Air Force, I saw a girl in the sheet metal shop get severely injured from wearing gloves while using a disc sander. She didn't want her nail polish to get messed up, so instead, her nails and the skin on her knuckles got ground to the bone! This was right after I reminded her that using gloves with machinery was not allowed anywhere in the fabrication branch

[@saltyreesescup3104]

Yes Please Stop Wearing Gloves Puddin...Hold Your Work With Pliers Or A Jig Especially When Smaller...😶🧂

[@garthp9874]

Yes where I work everyone says not to wear gloves when using grinders, etc. I am a hard head and I still wear very thin gloves to keep my hands clean but the prevailing wisdom is not to wear any gloves because they can get caught and pull your hands into the power tool. Also would be good to teach others and help keep them safe. Love your videos.

[@j.sargent9172]

I second this, and hoodie draw strings are something many don't think of but I had a grinder grab ahold of one, luckily it just pulled it through because the knot was undone

[@WetNellie]

When I was an apprentice an old Frenchman was trying to instruct me on how to use a bench grinder safely, I did the opposite because he was missing a few digits on his one hand… lol

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

​@@garthp9874I once used some thin grippy gloves while cutting some steel in the winter outside... It's the last time I wore them! Dang sparks caught my gloves on fire!!!

Favorite channel on KZbin. Videos are always entertaining and your personality is awesome. Thanks puddin 👍

[@Automotive_Intervention]

The only KZbin channel where I genuinely get excited to come back to every week. No matter what the content is. I’ll be here laughing, crying, dialed in, and confused right with Puddin. Such a whole hearted person and it really shows. Mad respect to him and all his fans.

[@Roadhardd]

When there’s so much negativity at every turn seemingly, Puddin’s Fab Shop is a joy to watch. Thanks for the knowledge, the transparency, and the laughs.

[@shanewright6958]

Here we go again. It’s time for another good one 👍👍

Love the gmc content , that’s the sharpest looking square body . I’d watch this whole series all over again with the green square body

[@dadsvespa]

Puddin, you did an excellent job centering the rear Axle and the shaft looks like it'll clear when loaded down, just fine. I'd rather watch you over anything they have on television! Keep up the good work !

[@anthonysmohawkspeedshop324]

This has absolutely without a doubt my favorite channel. See cool stuff, learn a little, have a good laugh. I’ve not seen one boring video. Loved every one of them!

[@Sydthesloth45]

I'm loving the GMC build it's sick

[@GaryWeeks-ts7tb]

I'm glad somebody clued you in on the possibility of a bad vacuum shift modulator on the transmission being a possible cause of excessive exhaust smoke... I've had it happen to me a couple times. Clunky shifts are a symptom, as well. The smoke from burning transmission fluid has a different smell than from oil burning, and a different color, too... more light grey than typical oil-burn blue. The dead giveaway is when the tranny fluid level starts dropping with no visible leaks. The good thing is, it's about as easy a fix as one can get.

[@dalesmith112]

Puddin has a well deserved, awesome place to make contact and raise his family.... that's less expensive to operate than the OG shop... WINNING. Or... in Puddin's own famous words "I ain't mad at it" LOL Happy for you brother.

Haven't seen her in a while she's getting big throwing up fast. I know because I got 2 kids and they're 26 and 24 years old. Time flies when you're having fun. My friendthanks for putting out all these amazing videos. And I'm so glad to be a part of having your dreams. Come true with your house and your dream garage. Love looking forward to Mondays and Thursdays for your videosthanks again, my friend. And that's always you make sure you have yourself a wonderful day-to-day and everyday.

I was on the couch watching this video trying to tell you the drive shaft deal on the length but that’s a road I’ve been on before it’s easier to see someone else’s mistakes after you made them yourself but it still worked out

[@paulravitsky2898]

The reason you were able to "bluetooth" is because the welders ground clamp is connected to the ground pin on the AC plug {for safety}. That ground goes to everything in your shop including the lift. Since you didn't have rubber pads on the lift points, the truck frame is grounded also. "Bluetooth" welding! Lookin' good!

[@ohiohammerandleversme6875]

Man oh man that GMC is the best lookin squarebody I've seen in a very long time !!!

[@dansimmons1964]

I think the driveshaft will be fine, 1/2" to 3/4" is good. Most drive shaft shops will tell you 3/4". That ol Eagle Eye alignment comin in clutch! Looks amazing 👍👍👍👍

I got strange dentist vibes while Puddin was using air tools on that yoke. Can you imagine sitting in the chair and Puddin came in and said "HOT DAMN looks like we're gonna be doin a root canal and add in some bling while we in durr!"

To make your hoist lower faster, right next to the lowering valve is the dump valve adjustment. Loosen the lock nut and adjust the valve. Warning, you don't need to move it much, a little goes a long way.

[@dennisradle8663]

Love the way your brain works . Always seeing the simple solutions.

Bubba i am so glad to hear that Hot Rod nor her friend got hurt when stepping on that bumper , man that could have gone so wrong !! Every parents nightmare is having one of the kids hurt no matter the cause ! I hope you can set some boundaries with her about playing around the shop and junkyard , its not like when we grew up and aftet some of our stunts we lay unconscious till someone came to find us for dinner ! Love ya guys !!

[@roberthocking9138]

Nice work. Strange ,cloud formation at the start there, they look like aircraft vapour trails. Good to see slick again, he hated those wheels of yours for sure 😂 it wasn’t your best day but it was still fun for me to watch n learn 👍

[@kennethsonier1766]

It was cool of you to point out the wheel is not centered and proceeding to fix it. Overall the truck looks awesome. 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@susskinsgamer]

Second on that. That is a badass GMC.

[@markk874]

The best thing about a screwup, is that screws go both ways. You can always do something and if you don’t like it, unscrew it and make adjustments!👍

[@pauldulworth2768]

That truck is just frickin’ AWESOME!!! Well done.

[@derekwalters6132]

Not a fan of the patina normally, but I gotta say the more I see that GMC the more I like it, there’s something about that colour scheme and the buffed paint, that thing’s gonna look sweet once the interior is done

One more comment and I know you're not going to listen to me but sometimes you need to take your own advice. Don't be so hard on yourself the work you do and the people who you touch on a personal level is a good thing. I honestly feel your the most genuine person on KZbin

[@davidteribailey3857]

That is a great project. I would like to see that done on that green truck. Sooo much better than a long bed.

[@Ginger924]

If you ever need to shorten a driveshaft and don’t want to take it to a shop to get it balanced you can always use a golf ball in the driveshaft. It sounds crazy but it works like balance beads in a tire.

[@geriatricginger]

awesome, as usual. you set a standard that others are judged by on YT. at least for me ;)

[@Hobodeluxe960]

I think we should call the truck "Jacob's little Jimmy" 😉

Prayers for your butt and Can’t wait to see the inside done. It’s something to be very proud of. The green square body does look good can’t wait for that one. Good job Puddin.

[@bobbybenton3421]

Puddin a little known secret for those square body trucks. If you order tail pipes for a 80 model short bed DIESEL you can get left and right tailpipe over the axle in either 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 I don’t remember. They should be easy to put on this rig.
