Frame swapped 51 GMC panel truck moves under its new LS power.

[@sylvainleseur1072]

I had never seen someone drill a hole in a water pump with a drill ... Thanks to share.

[@jimmyford271]

Nice to see the old truck moving under its own power.

[@michaelfrancis7072]

If I had all that rusty stuff I'd be heading to the scrapyard, this man makes fully functioning vehicles out of it. Amazing.

[@ShilohShepherd]

Most channels, I cut the vid when the last commercial comes up, and skip the last few seconds. With yours, I always watch to the very end, waiting to see if your buddy Pablo, is taking a ride with you..🐕.. Or maybe get lucky, like this one, and see a few cool hot rods...

[@koolkar55]

Amazing stuff Brent. A little trick I learned a while back is when your drilling & tapping into something you don't want crap inside just put a bit of grease on the drill & tap & it catches all the crap. Love your work Mate. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.

[@HalfassKustoms]

yeah do that lots, it catch's most of the stuff haha

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

Back in the land of No Problems.

[@stomper2582]

Thi multi gauge circle looks scary without gauges in it. 😳. Looking good Brent. I’m liking it. 👍😀👉🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@rodneyj.6875]

I hope you can make a ice cream truck out of this truck but what you come up with it going to be nice !

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Halfass Kustoms (Brent) :) and come together for you planning to sounds excellent so far too!

[@rickaser2383]

OK I'm 34 seconds in and already captivated by the music; the video is just icing on the cake. Loving the panel project almost as much as the General. Thanks!

[@TrendsbySterling]

Coming along nicely Brent! I pick up pointers from your builds all the time. Keep up the good work!

[@carlpeters9523]

My brother had a panel truck, there was a rust spot , he put a funnel into , called it his bathroom ... love the hard work you do to vehicles , with your endless supply of doners , makes it so enjoyable to view ...

[@sasquatch5680]

I think you missed your calling in life..You would have made a GREAT automotive shop teacher....=)

[@stevenbonz9911]

Really do enjoy your retro build projects

[@johnnysechrist6313]

Did a 50 for my great uncle back in 88...327-375 4 speed cross ram. rebuilt suspension....he was an electrician...he bought the truck new. They built them back then to last.

[@johnds6621]

I would like to see you finish the truck completely. Brave man to drill and tap a spot that might or might not work.

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha shes a little thin in that spot but do it all the time with the smaller senders.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Yeah man! Friday night, sippin a whiskey and relaxing watching Halfass Kustoms. Pure paradise. Thank you Brent! Can't wait for next video lol

[@DavidWischnewski]

Nice build. I love the looks of old stuff. 👍👍✌

[@mysteryengineering2234]

In tears. For your next book I feel the title should be something you said in this video, "How Bodywork Esclates" the Panel is really coming out nice. thank you

[@aceadman]

Love this truck. It’s so great. The old panel van shape is really terrific. I hope we get to see it more “finished”. Before you pass it on! 😊👍👍

[@DennisMurphey]

I know sometimes you gotta do a task that feels boring to you but honest to God you are a real hoot to listen and watch. it is so fun. I would just like to come up for a long weekend and help you thrash on anything you doing. It is fun and i learn something every time. Those seats look great too. What will you haul in that baby dang it is the biggest panel truck. Those tires sure seem to fit the body well. I like the whole project. Take care, Dennis in Virginia

[@patbaldizan6168]

I love the way you fabricate with all the metels... As for the air cleaner... I work in a salvage yard for big and medium-sized trucks... I see and handle a lot og ari to air tubes. This might be something you may want to check on

[@davidcraddock7011]

just in awe of the things you know how to do and the speed in which you get it done. No moss on your backside.

[@briquetaverne]

****** Brent, I would love to see this panel truck get body worked & painted. It's not that often you see these on the road anymore. You're old "KZbin Friend" Dan from D&D Speed shop is just finishing a beast of a '74 Dodge Challenger and it really looks great. All it needs is some minimal (cream colored) driver's seat vinyl covering repair. Perhaps you could invite him over and show him how to use your sewing machine? Let him do the work. I'll bet he could drive over by you, do the necessary sewing and work, and be home that same evening? Contact him and help your young buddy out.

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

Another ambitious day you can finish the dash maybe😊 it looks nice on drivers side now, thanks for the upload coming along just fine.

[@delwhylie4748]

Nice seats this panel is looking great! You are one of the fastest at getting it done and never a big deal getting to where you want it to go. Had my own shop almost 30 years just had to give it up after arthritis finally took its toll on the body. Sure do miss it but; watching you guys on you tube with all your projects its very enjoyable Thanks for sharing...

[@markbrown6236]

Ya got a runner, always a good point of a project. Seats look great.

[@briankinnear7461]

It moves. Coming together nicely. Those widened fenders will make a real difference. Couple of cool cars in the your cruise footage. Be safe and stay well.

[@edwardammerman2179]

I like this build, I've always liked the old panel trucks.

[@floydt2029]

Brent, love this updated video, lot's of cool work you did; maybe sidepipe exhaust? Have a great weekend!

[@HalfassKustoms]

It'll get a set of running boards yet to finish it off.

[@brentmclovin9332]

She’s looking good moving around under her own power.👍

[@MIKEH.777]

The van is looking better I like the seats and you should hook up the heater wires while you're under the driver's seat hooking up the power wires, especially Canada it's cold alot up there, lol I love watching your videos keep up the great work my friend and God Bless you and your family 💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@theclampitt6577]

So cool to see it move under his own power

[@pierrelataillade7564]

Just between us buddy.....I was getting to like the stance on the old truck.... Now your going to do creative bodywork To comply with the law.. Wow all I can say is be gentle. stay cool

[@lorenmeyer5290]

You are an amazing man to do all you have done to all the vehicles you work on! Just AWESOME!

[@Carl09of09]

It's coming around those seats are nice, I'm really liking this build, My grandson likes it too! 😊✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@rickaser2383]

Gauge cluster is sweet!

[@allanimalstaxi]

Great show, as always you make it so easy. It' looking like a beast, when you get the fenders widened help even more. That is a good looking truck, great show.

[@IR-nq4qv]

The joys of owning a set of NPT taps, good stuff bro! You make rerouting wiring, plumbing/ sending units look like fun. Love the work, content and build, I can appreciate every bit of what it takes to pull it off. Keep doing the Voo-Do that you do so well👍👍

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man!

[@bennyogden4524]

I wouldn't say crap man because that entire vehicle is magnificent and they're doing a kick-ass job on a man

[@ronlynch7744]

Moving right along. It will be a runner before we know it. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@garymccord4277]

Enjoy getting educated on how to things right. Then everything works and looks like it was made that way You made a truck that I wish I had and probably hundreds of fellow you tubers are thinking the same thing. Keeping on trucking and the General looked good with classics on the road at end of video.

[@stephensmith2983]

Coming along nicely Brent, love it. Looking forward to see what you do with the wings (fenders) 😁

[@miguelinadejesus6016]

Love your show I think you build the best cars ever you have a blessed hand you don't need to go buy a new stuff to build a car you inspire me you build cars out of things you have laying around your house you are the man God bless you and keep building brother I'll keep watching and sharing your shows I got your channel by watching DD speed shop he referred you and I'm so happy he did

[@michaelmarusic8499]

👍🏻Another great video!!! Have a good weekend!!!

[@davidsimmons586]

Your getting things done

[@beealzebub4338]

Deja vu, another truck almost finished. It's going to be interesting to see how you section the fenders out. Thanks again Brent. 👍😎🍺🕵🏾‍♂️🎸🎵👽🥂

[@richardhannigan7435]

I hope you finish this truck like you did the General and paint it the same color. Then you can call the small panel truck the "Colonel!"

[@shanewright6958]

She's coming along nicely. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@ryand.8176]

Sweet! Love that thing! Looks great with that patina.

[@franksgarage8551]

I love it! To see it moving on its own, it sounds great and height looks good.

[@CompToyZ]

Always an education sir. Thank you

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Looking good it's getting there something different for sure you're not going to run across one of them out in your travels. 👍👍😀🐕

[@anytractorman]

I found that if you use aftermarket lines and clips they will not stay connected, my truck popped those off 2 times on the highway with the trailer behind it. Took all of it off and bought all gm parts, works fine now.

[@jamesatkins3992]

Nice seats

[@DarkFlamage]

I thought the idle seemed a little high, then you shifted from reverse to drive, and the tires went, "chirp" haha, yeah!

[@usmclee65]

Nice seats and moving on her own, i'm sure she can make to Alabama from there, its all down hill anyway!

[@franksgarage8551]

Seats will be ok. Very little modifabirication. I like that. Fargo got pt cruiser seats. They are ok too. Drivers is power up/down. And heated. Wife liked that backbin april as the heater sucks.

[@HalfassKustoms]

there spendy but Princess auto heaters work great, the bigger box have used them in the past on some of my winter cruisers with great success.

[@anthonymessina2834]

God I love that old panel! I've always wanted one!

[@jasongustafson7227]

They make a stainless steel braided line that will hook up to the fittings for the plastic oil gauge line that way no heat or rubbing worries

[@tklepach1]

that pretty truck and seat

[@lawrencephaneuf2977]

That panel looking good 😉

[@Thefutureooksbight]

Looks great, nice seats.

[@PecanRanch]

put some steelies on it

[@rodparker4514]

More please young man .

[@davidfleishman2275]

Great build Brent.The wiring for the LS engine is easy to do.The only hard part is getting a HP Tuner program.Some builders will not do an LS swap because they do not want to fork out for the HP Tuner deal.

[@HalfassKustoms]

I think there are alternatives to unlock a pcm, There's LSdroid that I believe is free though I have never used it.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Evening Brent, can't wait to see what your next project is, I really like your unlimited parts Supply....you need a camera guy....or gal...think the Essex is gonna be pretty cool..Be safe. GOD BLESS

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha it's coming gonna bounce around on the 2 projects just to keep things fresh for me haha and maybe get the panel further than I originally thought I would :)

[@380.motorsports]

Looking forward to see and learn how you widen those fenders.

[@sheldonbenson4510]

[@rustyrods8535]

Very nice , love backwards shift pattern. Hope your changing those ugly wheels ....lol . Thanks for sharing.

[@mattconnor6779]

Maybe slice the fenders down the middle of the crown and install some '58 Caddy quad headlights!

[@blueeyz2046]

Carona and I enjoyed! I understand on the one handed video thing

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

That was pretty cool, you schmoozed in the gauges good and MAN those seats are Schweet! Guess someone didn't like sliding around?

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha still do have to bolt em down yet haha

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

@@HalfassKustoms No, I mean why they had them ugly covers on top, maybe they didn't like the leather so much? Someone may have put Armour All on and sliding right off their butt when they took a turn?

[@stephenhenion8304]

Who Wouldn't Want That Panel Truck!! Great Job there...H A K.👍🎩👍

[@donnie2533]

Great video glad you posted my friend keep them coming.

[@arturoviva5718]

I KNOW THAT THE OLD PETINA LOOKS NICE. BUT A SAND BLAST And A PAINT Job Will Be Lat BETTER LOOKING. THAT PANEL TRUCK Looks GROOVY.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Been waiting for this!!!!! Man that's awesome!!!! Great work!!!

[@gregbrown4962]

I was really surprised that those seats from the minivan were as nice as they are. When I saw all of the broken glass I thought it was a waste of time and they would be weather checked or ripped

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha when I saw the seat covers I figured the same thing haha

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Love these old trucks…should be cool. Uh oh, someone let Scotty Kilmer know there is a Honda headed to the salvage yard.
