FULL BUILD- ASMR- 1966 C10 to 2001 Tahoe Frame Swap (NO TALKING, NO MUSIC)

[@jamesharris9717]

Love the no talking , no music . Nice to see someone who knows what he's doing go about his work. Good job.

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you! I will continue to do more videos like this in the future!

[@quintin1561]

Especially the no music part. Keep them coming!

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you! Will do! 😃

[@jamesdennis5699]

I hope he paints it up real nice and shines but I fear he’s going to leave it sort of junky looking with a mix of blue and rust.

[@FLManGarage]

I prefer the mix of blue and rust with the original paint. In my opinion when it gets painted, it ends up looking like every other restored truck and loses its originality. Thank you for your view and comment 😃

[@TappingTDC-u5p]

This was such an impressive build! The attention to detail in the frame swap was incredible, and the no talking, no music format made it even more satisfying to watch. Amazing work!

[@Brutalford]

Just the fact that you're taking everything apart and putting it back together is already an improvement on what has been done from the factory

[@FLManGarage]

It definitely has its flaws! But its still running strong after 400k miles which is quite astonishing!

[@ironmyno]

All you did was like tighten stuff back up, you didn't replace anything?

[@FLManGarage]

For the engine, I replaced all the gaskets, timing chain, oil pump, water pump, alternator, all the pulleys, belts, spark plugs, plug wires, oil pick up o ring. But i didnt do anything to the internal of the engine as i plan on building a 6.0 for it in the future

[@RoyCarter-o5n]

I can fully appreciate the work you put into this pickup. I did classic auto restoration and custom cars for fourteen years. Awesome imagination and creativity working around several issues. I love this year and body style of chevy. I know that patina is really the thing now and I want you to know that what I’m about to say is about me and my quirks and has nothing to do with your skills and the quality of work you have done. I am 61 years old now and I started painting when lacquer was commonly used. Then the catalyzed enamel etc.. I went on to be a technical rep for Sikkens. I have tried to do rat rods and I have tried to do what you have done here but I COULDN’T. There is so much work that goes into it that I couldn’t leave it looking old on purpose. Even when it is the hot ticket. Even when everyone loves it. I simply cannot stop myself from going all the way with the bodywork and the flawless paint and making it look like new. Even if I was working on a car that I was going to sell and I could get more money by leaving the surface rust and patina… I can’t do it! It bothers me a little bit that I am like this and I think it’s a quirky OC thing, or an old man thing, but I have given up on it and have realized that when I work on a car it is going to get beautiful new paint. Anyway, enough ranting. Good work. It really is a cool old classic and it is obvious that you are passionate about what you do.👍

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much for your comment and support! I have always liked the patina look because every one is different. I feel like if this was done to a show quality, it would look like every other painted truck. This is the first stage for this truck, it may get bodywork and paint in the future, but right now i definitely do not have the skills or money for that, it would probably be at least another $20,000 in panels, metal work, body work and paint. Perhaps down the line, but i am content with the look for now Next on the list is AC/heat and radio! AC is very important down here in florida! Thanks again for your view and comment!!

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

I'm with you. Altho this truck looks pretty good, I just don't dig the patina schmena look! Awesome build. Attsa bitchin ride! 😎👍

[@FLManGarage]

It is definitely not for everyone! But i do enjoy the look! Your opinion is valid! Thanks for your comment 😃

[@RoyCarter-o5n]

It definitely makes sense to NOT paint it for at least two reasons. First is the money it takes to do it and second is the fact that some people like the look of patina more than paint. Another cool thing with NOT painting it is that you don’t have to worry and stress over chips and scratches. Also, I live in Oregon. If I lived in Florida there is NO DOUBT that I would make A/C the first priority. Totally impressed by what you have done. The wiring on the chassis swap would have intimidated the hell out of me!

[@FLManGarage]

Those are definitely reasons why i didnf paint! Also, yes definitely need ac next!! The wiring was intimidating for sure but once i dug in, it wasnt too bad!

[@dexburwell]

Awesome job! I am also a fan of the no talking, and pace of the video. Some talking is fine, sometimes its easier and adds to it, but getting all of this into one video and not fluffing it with chatter is nice. I made a no talking walkaround video of my '58 mercury voyager wagon on my channel and thought it might be boring, and it probably is to some people, but I made it mostly for myself and I enjoy watching it and hearing the bugs in the background haha. Then stumbled across this and feel inspired to speed up my next walkaround or tinkering video. Good work!

The vent windows and cluster were in pretty rough shape and it was just easier/cheaper to black them out then re chrome. I agree on the many interior colors, i have actually since wrapped the door panels in the same color as the seat. I may change the chrome on the glove box door since it has blinded me more than once 😄 Thanks again!

The hours of R&D you invest have elevated my timberborne game. magic tiles, dwelling efficiencies, constuction supplies, shortest path designs, Just to name a few strategies.... More casual conversations with Picture please.

Thank you for your view and comment! I dont quite understand the comment, but i appreciate your support!

[@AbeYoung]

My comment was for a video game channel... I watched just before your video. I now realize how strange that comment is considering your lovely content format. Strong work BTW@@FLManGarage

[@FLManGarage]

That makes sense! Thank you! 😃

Very nice job! I'm a hot rod builder and this is amazing. Everyone does it there way. You added that military box in the back... I got a name for the truck.. Rambo.

[@FLManGarage]

Awesome i like it! Thank you for your comment and support!

[@niles006]

Wow so bizarre, as a kid my dad had this exact truck. We put a lot of miles on that truck. I remember driving down a rutted road with a full bed of oak firewood that truck was tough. Nice show dude

[@FLManGarage]

That is awesome! I hope to put many miles down on this truck! Thank you for your comment and support !

[@jefferygardner732]

A big thumbs up to you for doing such a great undertaking. The naysayers can say what they want, I think this is some really good work and something to be proud of. I have a 57 3100 myself, and would love more than anything to do with it what you have done to this one.

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much! This was the biggest project ive ever done, so i am very proud of the outcome and how much i have learned along the way! That 57 would be such an awesome build!

[@javierblazquez4317]

Absolutely amazing work, your attention to detail is insane, will definitely be subscribing to watch more of your awesome work man!

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support 😃

[@Miracle-x5b]

I think you done a wonderful job doing that yourself with no help.

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much! It was an incredible amount of work and i learned so much during the process!

[@pb6494]

Great job! One additional step to complete asap - spray interior of doors, hood, jambs, and body panels with Woolwax or Fluid Film. This will prevent further corrosion on surfaces that were previously rusted

[@FLManGarage]

Thanks! I will look into that, every panel was derusted, treated with rust converter, painted and then coated with under coating, but im sure that stuff wont hurt either 😃

[@NSR7385]

This was an amazing project to watch! The truck turned out incredible!!

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 😃

I've had three of these old Chevy trucks.The first was dads old truck he had given to me for graduating high school. Dad had named the truck Sarge. It was a 68 Chevy long bed with around 400H.P. We built around 200ish small block Chevys throughout the years. It had a 4 speed Muncie rock crusher in the floor and those H.P. came from a DZ 302 Chevrolet.The 2nd was a 64 short bed step side with 275/60/15s, with a Eaton 3:90 posi and a super hard shifting 350 turbo automatic. The truck came factory with in dash air conditioning,(push/pull levers) factory 283 with a two speed powerglide. It had the big back window was baby blue with a white top and a chrome grill. Came with chrome front and rear bumpers, all original from the factory. My third old Chevy truck was a '66 short bed fleet side, with a stock 350 and stock 350 automatic but ran perfectly. I think you've done a heck of a job, I would trust that truck to California from Tennessee no problem, especially if you had it geared properly.

[@FLManGarage]

Yes! It has the tahoe gears so its great on the highway! That sounds like an awesome spec truck you had! Im jealous of the a/c, that will be my next project for this truck!

[@BG-ri8ww]

Just got to the gas can filler. What a great innovative idea 👍👍

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you! That was a fun little project towards the end of the build! 😃

[@floaters292]

That was amazing! watched every minute of it! You should do a video driving it with scenery and the sounds of the truck.

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you for your support! That is a great idea! I will definitely do that! 😃

[@derrickstewart8814]

[@bobbyross2552]

Call me weird but I actually like the fact that there wasnt any talking going on, just straight to the point

[@FLManGarage]

Im glad you enjoyed this format! There will be more to come 👍🏻 Thank you for your support!

[@marksmith4298]

Congratulations! That was quite an impressive build. Way to focus and getting it done with your friends, family and mad skills. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your truck is amazing!

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much! It was quite and undertaking for me and i learned so much along the way, it was a fun project that i am happy others are enjoying to watch 😃

I've done plenty of motors, and done my motors too,it seems a little odd that he wouldn't do the head gaskets and pistons, and rings, especially with that many miles on it. As far as as somebody else on here said, that is a lot of work for one man. When me and my brother,did his old ranchero,66 by the way. We cut up a old Montego, it was somewhere in the seventies, don't remember exact date, we wanted the motor, because the motor in the car was a 351 Cleveland, With low MI we cut that car completely to the ground. And move the motor over to the ranchero, which turned out to be pretty bad a$$, but all the work that was involved was crazy,and I'll never do it again but kudos to this gentleman.very good job for doing it on your own. "congratulations" now that was a awesome job.

[@FLManGarage]

The main reason I didn’t do more to this motor is that i plan on building a 6.0 with a 4l80e from the ground up, so i didnt want to spend the time and money to rebuild this one. It ran good in the Tahoe and runs good now, good oil pressure and doesn’t smoke, so i am curious to see how much longer it will last! Thank you for your comment and support!

[@wp.sworld.s]

@@FLManGarage no worries the ending result was beautiful by the way 👍

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you! There will be more to come with this truck and other projects in the future!

[@MelanieRussell-n4v]

This was one of the best videos I have ever watched- and I have watched a lot. Great work and unless you have been there (I have) you cannot appreciate the amount of time and dedication it takes to see a build thru. Seeing the outside work and painting with a 30 mile an hour wind made me smile. Reminds me of me. Hope to see more vids in the future-I'm a subscriber now!

[@FLManGarage]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support!! This was a huge undertaking for me and i am proud to have “finished “ it. (Always more to do!) It seems to only be windy out when i need to paint something 😄

[@zingman71]

Fun to watch. I had a 66 Chevy short bed in my 20's. Put a small block 400 in it. Loved the frame off switch.

[@FLManGarage]

Awesome!! Thank you for your view and comment!

[@danielmedina9688]

Beautiful pick up, I have a 1967, greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina, it looks great
