FIRST RIDE! What Should I Do To This Truck?

[@DR_Bloom86]

Black sport grill, cowl hood, keep the trim, sport bumper

[@PEDR0SKI]

-Pockets of the grille black/rest body color -stock hood(store the cowl incase you wanna change it for whatever reason) -trim -W/T rear bumper

[@PEDR0SKI]

Single lens headlights, those 4eyes take away from the smooth lines of an OBS

[@richardharvey8939]

Column shift and wheel replacement to stick style is right call.

[@73cam_]

Black grill. Stock hood. Factory trim and rear bumper. Don’t forget the oem style late model mirrors 96-98. I like the composite headlamps vs the four small ones. Of course that’s just me.

[@mikeparish3469]

Leve it alone like the hood like the roll pan. Truck looks awesome 👌

[@Killentimegarage]

Leave grille blue but paint the grates and headlight buckets black. Keep trim, add painted sport bumper and go to OG hood.

[@jcasnva]

Leave the painted grill, but paint the center parts black. Leave the trim and add the rear paint matched bumper

[@thatrebelboy48]

Exactly what I’d do. Someone else posted about the sport trim having the red in it and I agree that it would look extremely good. There’s a truck on IG that has it on almost the same color and it looks great

[@jcasnva]

@@thatrebelboy48 the sport trim is nice but I think with the small details I said, it would flow really well how it sits

[@trayt4550]

Black grille Stock hood Sport bumper Keep the trim

[@MFR_63]

Leave the grill the same color just paint little grill openings black and around the lights if you don't update to 90's one piece headlights. OG hood. Trim with the bumper. No trim with the roll pan. Sport bumpers and trim comes with 4 red lines in them.

[@tre8964]

Black grille, leave the cowl, leave the side moulding, add a sport bumper. Cool truck!

[@That1boxingchannel]

Paint the grille black ,renew the lights all oem. I’d keep trim ,put bumper in back ,if u do all that u can actually keep the hood. I hate cowl hoods but I think with a black badge on the cowl with grille painted blk I think that a be a killer combo ps. 20% tinted windows

[@neilcroy5859]

body color grill, do the trim and sport bumper, replace cowl hood with stock

[@thechad503]

Transgo makes a tcc hydraulic lockup valve kit.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thanks man! I'll have to check it out.

[@posews6]

Definitely go with the Sport package. Hood, trim, bumper, and graphics. That little touch of red will really pop against the blue.

[@Familymechanic]

Leave the hood add the sport bumper paint the pockets of the grille black. Nice ride either way

[@ansleycarter1204]

Sports bumper, trim , stock hood and keep the color match grill

[@richardharvey8939]

Black and body color grill , body color rear bumper. Hood is fine either way in body color. Graphics or trim on sides of cowl if you keep it.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

I've been thinking about doing some kind of graphic. I think it would look really good with the color/ style

[@lukecurtis-c4y]

1. black grill 2. og hood 3. lower trim 4. roll pan

[@Minds232]

I say Paint grill black Leave the cowl hood(adds a sudtle aggressive look) Leave the lower trim. Looks alot nicer And go sport bumper with the chevy decal not like the band in the dually but vinyl

[@Obs-junior]

Leave the cowl hood on n put the sport trim on n sport rear bumper on

[@RSJR74]

Drag pack wheel and tire combo

[@Tikicar]

Sport bumper, grill body color, or GMC Sierra grill with billet insert. stock hood, no body moldings. A clean 90s style graphics along the lower/belt line of the truck. With that color it would be cool to have a cool 90's styled look to it. Like the trucks that rolled out of Boyd's back then. There are plenty of basically stock Sport trucks just lowered with wheels out there already.

[@antnymartnz5353]

definitely paint the grill, take hood back to oem (NO COWL), yes trim, rear sport bumper. Also, while you're at it and have some time between all those builds send me some info on any good shops up there for LS Swaps or 350 rebuilds. Lookin for a decent shop to do the engine in my 91, either rebuild its tired 350 or LS Swap it.

[@stevegriffith8680]

It will look good as long as you ditch the cowl hood. If you do a rear bumper it has to be paint matched to match the front. Did I mention ditch the cowl hood??

[@lolife999]

Do the 90-93 headlight conversion. Those headlights scream 88-89.

[@dennisgallear409]

Lauren is cool!

[@mikebryant1524]

grill in black new rear bumper and leave hood

[@stephenbeatty2573]

OG hood

[@DaveGlenzer-eu2qp]

Love seeing hometown footage. Black grille. Also I'm very interested in getting my C10 blasted by the guy who's doing yours. Looking forward to that video. Engine swap now paint later.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

He should be getting the machine next month! That'll make quick work of stripping the body down

[@naturalmystic7]

If it was mine I’d Def get the new black grill and rear bumper everything else looks great

[@Albert-j8p]

Stock hood Sports trim Rear bumper Paint grill black

[@sega2229]

Grill needs to be black except the middle line and leave it the body color put a ss2 wing

[@wstrongest1]

Leave the hood add the bumper, change the grill and one piece headlight

[@johncuellar4281]

Add the rear bumper get the OG hood

[@martywilkinson6722]

Black grill, leave the cowl hood, leave the trim, and add the sport bumper. Those are my votes. Min had the trim taken off and I wish it still had it. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Is this not your truck? I remember the rescue of the truck in the Project Playboy days, but I never saw how you ended up with it.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Once Street Trucks was done with the truck I grabbed it from them back in July. Can't believe I've had this truck for 6 months already. lol

[@martywilkinson6722]

@@yeahbuddygarage cool. I’m looking forward to seeing it finished. Loving the content.

[@simosimpson5189]

Grill in black and the sport bumper would be my choice. Also prefer a std hood. "Less is more" in my view.... Ie: an understated classic look

[@gasolineimagesinc.7133]

I'm with you.. Sport bumper, leave the grill, and swap a stock hood or a more traditional Z/28 style cowl hood. The one on that truck has to go imho.

[@Holeshot260]

Cowl hood, Sport trim, Rear Bumper, (all trucks should have bumpers) Paint the grill. Awesome truck. Keep the OBS vids coming.

[@jaxjax5322]

Just put the headlights and from a 1990 and up one peace and do what you say put bumper take that cowl hood and leave alone the grill

[@markbarker7072]

Stock hood and rear bumper and leave the rest... Thats my pick...

[@carportmods]

1) Black Grille 2) I'm an OG hood guy, but I actually like that hood. The cowl isn't too high, in my opinion. I'd still go original, though. 3) Trim 4) Sport bumper. It sounded like you might not be keeping the truck? I'm sure you are if you're doing a full restoration.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

I don't think I'll be hanging on to this one but I want to give it the yeah buddy stamp of approval so the next owner knows they can hop in and drive it across the country.

[@bookworm67-hv7nm]

your wife needs to do a burn out comp that would be fun she is a florida girl after all🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@doug81337]

Can't believe you scared Lauren into saying a bad word....shame shame!😮😉😅 Your plan is a perfect one for the truck!😎Sorry you had to wait so long on the trans work...I thought that only happened to me!😅

[@78gmc_stepside]

Paint matched rear bumper. Keep the grill painted but paint the slats black. Stock hood and you should get a spoiler for the tailgate that would look really good on that truck

[@ScottRichardson-hh6pt]

"No beans" 😂😂 buddy I can promise its nicer than my old 98 obs chad spoke about. As far as advice goes ? No clue I've changed my mind about the direction I plan to go 5 times or more good thing I didn't pay for a rendering.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

🤣🤣

[@derekg6260]

Black grille , OG hood, black trim, sport bumper. I’d personally get rid of the amber corner markers and go with frosted ones

[@dalebucknall313]

What is with all the chevy trany broken 😅

[@emptypocketsgarage]

Black grill cowl hood, no trim, sport bumper!

[@jasonwhite7423]

OG hood and leave the rest

[@bwproctor]

1. Leave 2. Leave 3. Leave 4. Sport bumper

[@ecwagon]

Factory hood, color matched grill, keep the trim, sport rear bumper

[@cjleon1104]

Leave the exterior it as is.. cool 90s theme

[@bookworm67-hv7nm]

hope joe's ok

[@barrymonroy7138]

This truck looks like the one Fast and Load did..😮

[@STeter76]

Leave it all the way it is, but get a sport bumper

[@mechanicmike1236]

I really like the truck, I am not sure about the blue grill though, but I don’t know if it’s the color or the headlights, maybe a black grill with composite headlights? Anyway, I would definitely be proud to own that truck, really a sweet ride!!

[@9thgatedim273]

U can swap in a 4L60 with an older motor

[@smtbigelow]

Leave hood, leave roll pan, leave grill. Remove trim. Replace steering wheel. It’s not a sport, don’t try to make it what it’s not.

[@BRMN8R]

Lauren gave it green beans, instead of baked beans 😂

[@yeahbuddygarage]

🤣🤣

[@Stock_and_drop]

I think it would look good just like the sport. Og hood, leave the trim and rear bumper. You could even add the sport decal.

[@anthonymeares4318]

Black grill, original grill, no trim , sport bumper

[@bookworm67-hv7nm]

did you breach the asshole zone on the right hand turn BAD BUDDY

[@yeahbuddygarage]

I sure did!!

[@TruckNerd91]

Looks like Playboy from Street Trucks.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

It was but I'm rebuilding the truck. The paint and motor work done on the truck needs to be redone, unfortunately.

[@TruckNerd91]

You gained a subscriber, sir

[@jaybradley4392]

Your plan sound great but please don’t paint the grill black with what ever plan you choose. That look has never looked good, unless the trucks black. Really just loose the cowl hood and your good to go.

[@9thgatedim273]

What size wheels

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Rear: 285 35 20 Front: 245 40 19

[@dalebucknall313]

Nice truck but i like the 56 ford away better.😅

[@yeahbuddygarage]

😂😂

[@jameswilkins288]

keep grill , stock hood, no trim keep roll pan

[@FamilysGarage]

No seatbelts!!! 🤣🤣 That went about exactly how test drives go with my wife dot it’s funny how we forget to tell them all the little things we learn while feeling them out… we think you should put a stick shift in it!!!!🤟🏻😎

[@camiloroa5494]

Sport

[@cliff4769]

I dig the cowl hood and color match grill, no trim and a sport bumper. I’m not a fan of the small aftermarket mirrors though. Either way, it’s a cool truck.

[@brianhayes7618]

Sounds like your transmission guy isn't as good as you thought. You shouldn't have had any problems after you picked it up.

[@smokinjoeprestwood5889]

BTW, that is a 700R4 transmission, correct???

[@yeahbuddygarage]

There's no issues with the transmission it just doesn't go into full lock out without that switch because the solenoid body is not drilled out for it. He could have put a new solenoid body in but I didn't want him to because of the cost. I can wire in an aftermarket overdrive switch which I will do when I reassemble the truck.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Yes this is a brand new 700r4

[@Clappedoutprojects]

If your spending your money let’s get a ls with a turbo

[@danielbaldwin1409]

Do everything you said and black out the grill....

[@malikdigger4544]

Blue Smurf OBS Chevy kustom shortbed needs better wheels for start, 454SS style hood , matching tonueru cover & remove side trim give clean look

[@timgibson2070]

Get off your phone while driving!

[@Lowpsi]

Never ever keep the cowl 🤮
