That hammered stance is KILLER!!!

[@andrewslagle1974]

Lee you and Jim nailed that truck,it looks great .Awesome upgrades !

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks. The upgrades were all Andrew’s planning. We just did the grunt work haha

[@dangonchoroff8413]

Lee, you and your shop co-worker are just a lotta fun to watch ! Your a master at your craft. and an insperation. It keeps me enthused as I start the build on my own 56" stepside. Some of the things you have shown all of us are absoultly gonna be sooo very helpful as I move thru some of the challenges. #1 installing the OEM position of the master cylinder & the booster, and it's complications that you tackle. #2 the trans crossmember and it's complications with regards to the master cyl., And a number other 'how to's' that you move right thru with great knowledge and cheer, and just plane having fun with it! Thanks teacher Lee. In return of thanks, I'll be ordering some apperal, etc from you at LG Kustoms. Best Regards, Danny G. Clovis, CA

[@LGKustoms]

Awesome! I’m stoked these videos are going to help your build

[@richardhoutman5261]

That is one bad ass truck

[@Badgeweefixstuff]

Well you knocked that out of the park. Awesome job 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦

[@timferriss905]

Hello Lee truck turned out fantastic. Will be even better with a wood bed. Like your t shirt. Hope 3rd times a charm. Wishing you all well. Tim.

[@skipwaelty3974]

Great series. Your videography and editing is on par with anything on Motor Trend and no production crew. Good job.

[@LGKustoms]

Haha thanks. No production crew, no formal training, and I filmed and edited everything with my phone 🤣

[@teadoggcreations2336]

Just discovered you guys. Awesome work and love how you get on with it and talk over what you’re doing. It’s a thumbs up from the Uk 🇬🇧👍😊

[@LGKustoms]

Welcome aboard!

[@onesilvergrey]

Awesome. Lift front 3” and job done👍 (my opinion only).

[@LGKustoms]

I think 3” up in the front would have the front of the truck sitting higher than the rear.

[@larryanderson8049]

you got "the look" down for sure! .nice workmanship and choice on upgrades and mods.

[@stevesimons6333]

Sounds and looks great. Very good work.

Great problem solving on the fly, on that fuel cell! Marty G

[@MrLangleylad]

It turned out "super cool" Lee ! very nice work . I'd drive the wheels off this thing ! but now I want one lol

[@ianhamilton6092]

Love the old GM trucks and you did her good.

[@DavidHorsnall]

Great conclusion to the series!!

[@arthurmccarron4379]

So cool. Nice. Paint. Colour. Thanks

[@martinjay5906]

Lee, you do great work. I bet you upholstery work is awesome also.

[@shotsrodder]

Cool build Lee 😎👍

[@ozcrane5984]

Should have turned the bolts on the tank straps so the bolt heads r down,an inch is as good as a mile or so she said. Have a great day!!!

[@mopar4656]

Nice truck. Great stance. Loved the trick with the rear fender clearance, too.

[@orangewhipster]

Ohhh man, I can't wait to get my van in there!! Gonna be a somewhat similar list of things!

[@lawrencesolman6673]

Good lookin' build! Final stance is right on. Sounds good too!!

Thanks

God job😊😊

Awesome build… thanks for sharing

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks for watching!

[@RichieCat4223]

If it was mine I would have added a balance tube in the exhaust to get rid of the school bus sound. Makes the system a lower mellower sound. Plus it helps with exhaust savaging.

[@LGKustoms]

Andrew and I talked about that. He wanted one originally, but like I mentioned, we started to run out of budget so compromises had to be made. Can always add one in the future!

[@RichieCat4223]

@@LGKustoms OK thanks

[@gkanderson92]

Great work. Looks and sounds like a hot rod.

[@LGKustoms]

Agreed. And that’s exactly what Andrew was going for!

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Lovin this truck Perfect stance. Good rumble although I’m more of a glasspack fan than Flowmasters. I dig it

[@LGKustoms]

I’m with you on glass packs, especially for the style of cars we like. However I think the flowmasters really suit this truck.

[@bruceedgecomb8722]

kickass truck

[@rodrigoshovel4198]

Excellent job on the 55 chevy, it was beautiful, it's the ideal height, how about the driving with the new suspension and steering configuration? greetings from Argentina

[@LGKustoms]

It drives great!

[@eddiereeher7594]

u do good work😎

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks 😁

[@shotsrodder]

You guys do nice work 😂😂

[@LGKustoms]

Thank you

[@nickkonwent7387]

What's the approximate cost, you charged that guy to do all that? Love your videos, and that truck turned out bad ass!!

[@ozcrane5984]

Never mind ,if you hang up on the tank strap bolts u got lots more troubles than the bolts hanging low.

[@studioarea51de]

Nice stance wooo...

[@vernheidt1889]

Looks great nice job. Did you install a front / rear brake proportioning valve in the rear brake line? I seen the residual valves but not the proportioning valve my have been at the fridge getting another beer. Great job enjoy you channel.

[@LGKustoms]

No I did not use a proportioning valve. I’ve been installing dual reservoir brake systems in old cars for almost 20 years and never had any issues with brake pressure proportioning when you using the correct master cylinder for the brake system (disc/disc disc/drum drum/drum). Maybe in a track car that experiences extreme braking conditions I could see using one, but in a street car driving in regular conditions, it just doesn’t seem necessary.

[@georgecarrales5262]

Hello, great build you have done a lot of work, i am also want to put a 8.8 in 57 Chevy, what kind of pinion angle did you use and knowing that the 8.8 is about 3 inch of center, need your help

[@LGKustoms]

Set your pinion angle to match the engine angle. If you engine is at 3°, set your pinion at 3°. If the engine is a 5° set your pinion to 5°. That’s all the matters. Almost every rear end pinion is offset. Some more than others. It doesn’t affect anything, just center your housing so the distance from the wheel to the frame rail is the same on both sides.

[@tomrunning357]

Andrew shared his truck with us but not the models at the photo shoot ? . Nice looking truck anyway.

[@LGKustoms]

I didn’t get invited haha

[@28joestella]

Awesome amd great timing, im about to buy some 10" wheels for mine. Do you happen ro know the width of the rear end and the backspace of the wheels?

[@LGKustoms]

The rear end is a stock Explorer 8.8. Not sure the width. Rims are 15x10, I can’t remember the back spacing. Tires are 275/60R15

[@vonnsnyder2481]

Hi Lee 👋

[@LGKustoms]

Hi!

[@grahamparr3933]

I might be wrong but I think in the UK an exhaust pipe coming out of the side is illegal, blowing exhaust fumes directly on the sidewalk.

[@LGKustoms]

Not sure. I’ve only been to the UK once and I didn’t see any old cars at all.

[@TraceyPruitt]

With your shop labor p/hr cost to consider, wouldn't it have been more efficient to just farm out the exhaust?

[@LGKustoms]

Yes and no. For starters it’s very hard to find exhaust shops willing to do custom exhaust. Recently I’ve farmed out two exhaust systems to two different exhaust shops. One did a great job, reasonable price but the vehicle sat at their shop for three weeks because they were so busy with other jobs. The second shop was also a reasonable price, and a one day turnaround. The car was not running at the time, so I towed it back to my shop. Once it was finished up and I went to go for a test drive, I realized I couldn’t push the clutch pedal in because the pedal hit the exhaust pipe. The shop took accountability and fixed it no charge, however I still had to tow the car there, then go back the next day and pick it up. 40 minutes each way plus 15 minutes to load and unload means I lost almost four hours in the shop. So in the end, I didn’t really save any time by farming out the work.

[@frankschwartz7405]

It'll look great once it's painted.

[@LGKustoms]

In my opinion, it would lose all its character and uniqueness. Right now it stands out and everyone knows it’s Andrew’s 56 Chevy. Once it’s painted it will just blend in with every other 56 Chevy pick up at cruise night.

How many hours in all did you work on Andrew’s truck?

[@LGKustoms]

That’s a great question haha. I don’t remember at all. This was done last spring

[@mikespiker900]

What brand of header? and what application are they?

[@LGKustoms]

I believe they were Hooker Headers. Not sure the application, the owner of the truck provided them.

[@freebird7284]

front bumper mounted too low and oil pan might get tickled too!

[@LGKustoms]

Oil pan is far from the lowest point underneath, and the bumper is in the stock location. Front bumper can’t go on any other way unless custom brackets are made.

[@johnnysechrist6313]

Seems to me it would have been easier to have taken rear fender off and welded on a couple of inches. I aint much of a fabricator but I am a Master Mechanic ASE Certified, and retired. This truck deserves a good paintjob.

[@LGKustoms]

Rolling the fender lips took about 15 minutes per fender. To cut the fender, shape a filler piece and weld it in would probably be closer to 20 hours per fender.
