This week we're getting the lifted K10 squaredbody back out on the road! We get under the hood to finish out our 6.0 LS swap with a cold air intake, and make some adjustments to our retro Holley valve covers. With a little cutting they can fit nicely with all of our ICT billet accessory brackets. With the engine bay all taken care of, we get the truck up on the lift to make some modifications to our shift linkage. With a stock column and a new 4L80 transmission, we had to make some tweaks to be able to get the shifter through the full range of motion. While we were under the truck, we pulled apart our rear differential and traded out the Detroit locker for something a little more mild, so the truck is more comfortable taking turns on the street. We also threw in our new driveshafts so this truck could finally hit the road again. Before we took it down the street, we had to get our brand new TMI interior put in this squarebody. We laid down some restomod sound deadener and a fresh carpet as a foundation for the modern leather bench seat. Once we had our seat and belts installed, we bolted on our matching door panels and dash pad, and took this truck out for its first shake down. This 6.0 LS swapped Chevy K10 drove like a dream! Our RTX gauges worked like a charm; showing all of our motor metrics in the proper operating ranges. The new differential made it more enjoyable turning corners, and our new rear gear set made traveling at higher speeds with our 38" tires no problem at all. We know we told y'all we'd be taking this truck out in the mud. AND WE WILL! We just have to wait for our matching front differential gears to come in so we can have a working 4 wheel drive. But since this truck is so close to leaving the shop for good; it seemed like a good time to bring in a whole new project! Let us know what you want to see us do to this 1970s GMC Vandura! And check back next week to see what we're doing to keep the patina look without having the van rust away in the south Florida climate!

Steering wheel upside down would drive me crazy

[@yamahaguy1732]

Such an easy fix also I don’t know who so many people don’t fix it

[@Plate_Ho_73]

I would think an updated steering wheel would be in order

[@joedirt7050]

I got used to it and then straightened it out when I swapped out the steering shaft

[@abouttime7316]

I always liked the steering wheels from the 88-92 GMs. Miss my 89 1500.

[@dannyruckert9359]

Thought the same thing. It's the small details that matter most.

[@mgmnfld3109]

Beautiful interior. Love how you actually got tires on the truck, not those stupid looking rubber bands on 26" wheels or something.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

This truck's meant to go off roading!

[@maxwelln7296]

same, he kept a truck functional as a truck. not some pavement princess

[@chriswaynegerlach]

I miss back when we could just compliment peoples builds without shitting all over other peoples. Just enjoy what you enjoy and stop shitting all over everyone else

[@sgzmn2803]

@@chriswaynegerlach I know right! How often do you see a truck with 0 cargo? 99% of the time. How often do you see a tahoe/suburban with 9 people inside? Rarely. "Uh but aren't they meant to be functional??" Jeeps never see dirt either lmao so calm down Max and MGM :) ​

[@lanceweyel879]

[@Patrick.Weightman]

Saved is a strong, strong word to use with restomods....

[@cocainehernandez919]

It’s sweet but I honestly think those old springboard bench seats are the most comfortable seats around

[@alanshepard1561]

For short rides probably. My old worn out 72 f250 bench was my favorite to-date. Still going full modern out of a junk yard when i cam find one.

Yeah I agree. Even mine with a horse blanket on it as a cover lol is way more comfortable to me than anything else

[@grantv2313]

I actually owned an 87 one of these in black in highschool in the 90s. Manual trans with glass packs. Looked just like this one. Changed out the gas tank, did speakers ,added a CD player tint. Lots of misc stuff. This brought back memories. Love what you guys did with this. Interior is awesome. This thing should be preserved in a museum. All of them up north rusted out long ago. Somebody really loves this truck to be sinking this much work into it. I enjoyed mine but comparing it to the AT4 I have now it was like a model T with 33s if we’re going to be honest. Lol. In 35 years it’s amazing what has changed. Granted the price of that old 87 wouldn’t cover the tax on a new one but I traveled many states in it. Wouldn’t call it comfortable by todays standards but was alright. God how time flies.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

This one definitely has some sentimental value to the owner! We plan on doing a build update and showing it ripping off road once we get some time freed up from our other projects!

[@BAKEMAN87]

Great choice on those interior upgrades! This Square Body is looking fresh!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're loving this leather!

This is actually the truck I have always wanted. Love to see it!

[@lostones7335]

Really enjoy everything you guys do, your attention to detail and cleanliness are top notch. Thanks for letting us in on the little things at the end of making something driveable. That last 15% usually takes up the most time. Kudos to the videographer as well!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you so much! It always feels like that last stretch of work always takes the longest too! (Probably because we know it's so close to hitting the road)

[@noahbrunelle4483]

attention to detail is pretty good, but the steering wheel is upside down

[@KeepCruzin]

Love this truck, ive been wanting a locker forever so embarrassing doing 1 tire fire burnouts

[@rylanlocke5267]

Just want to say, I absolutely love that you put smaller rims and bigger tires on that. Old trucks don’t look good with these new big rims. Love that you kept it classic

[@UltraMagaFan]

We have a 1983 Square Body K10. It needs restored. It sat for 11 years. I want to do this same exact thing to it. I’m in love with this truck.

I got my 1982 K5 when I turned 30..well in to raising kids and trying to make enough to get by..we barley did most of the time but we never begged or got assistance to pay bills ect. Seeing this trucks makeover brings me to tears and makes me wonder if it was worth keeping it from someone with money to be able to treat it rite..im happy I never gave e it away..it still has a long way to go. I will probably run out of time before the K5. I loved your vid..thanks

[@kennyray3408]

The truck is turning out so badass. And what better truck to customize than a square body! Loving this build guys and that interior is awesome, a lot more modern feel I'm sure. Also can't wait to see what's in store for the van, anything you guys touch turns out amazing so I can only imagine at this point. Van Life lol. Keep up the awesome work and I'm already looking forward to the next S2S video!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for all the support Kenny! Any suggestions for the van? We're trying to cook up some cool ideas!

[@kennyray3408]

There is so many possibilities with a van lol. Would be cool to see alot of power, do a upgraded V8, trans, and rear end swap if you keep it 2wd. Maybe a chopped top? Big sound system? Chill pad in the back for shows? Make a slam van out of it lol. I know you guys have a few lowered builds already, but there's also the option of an off-road build, give it a lift and 4x4 conversion, with some big tires. Either way it's gotta have a LS swap lol. I know whatever you guys come up with is gonna be awesome.

[@manillafresh57]

lol. The interior was actually one of the things I liked most about those trucks

[@MoltenMetalGod7]

I love these older model chevys my dad had an 88 and 86 over the years and i remember my dad taking me to school in it sometimes. Uncle had a k10.

[@stuey7777]

@@SalvagetoSavage my thoughts are keep it original on the outside (keep the jelly bean style wheels etc.) but give the inside similar treatment to the square body. In the rear I think you should go with a minimalistic living quarters, nothing to fancy, just somewhere you wouldn't mind crashing out for a night or two. and give her some modern LS power for reliability. Option B would be 4x4 LS conversion with a nice lift kit.....that thing would look crazy cool. Nudge bar on the front, mount a heap of lights on that and the roof......man, so much you could do with this, and with the skills your shop has, the options are limitless. Its definitely a cool van! looking forward to this build! Another subscriber from across the pond in Australia.

[@shitloveaduck]

@@SalvagetoSavage - I have the buckets with the original style console in a 67 C10. Beats that old bench seat that was in there! Also dismantled them a little and added heat to the backs and seat bottoms. You would never know they were apart and here in Alberta, Canada they are nice during the spring and fall cruises and trips. It gets driven almost daily, rain or shine, but no snow or ice (which means salt!!!). It is parked from November until about now, depending on the weather.

[@canadaftw0]

Awesome video! Might be too late for the head unit but! For my square body I really wanted a big touch screen but there's really no good place to put it without going completely custom like the EV truck. Untill I came across this Joying 11.6" single Din head unit. The reason I like it is beause you can buy an extention cable and remotely mount the screen, then tuck the rest of the unit in the dash. I was planning on putting the screen over the center vent. The part number is JY-UQS11N4G, joying isn't quite as good as a Kenwood or pioneer but shoulders above most of the overseas brands.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for the heads up!! There are also a few single din set ups that have a fold out screens as well. We were just trying to keep the interior super simple!

[@kdsboosted4954]

Awesome build, great editing and production, overall quality video. My dad had one when I was a kid and it just so happens to be the year I was born. I remember we lived in the country and he would set me on his lap and control the peddles while I steered (prob thought I was steering lol) the wheel. That being said, this has now become a dream truck of mine that I will now look into and own one day. Pops is since passed when I was 21 so this would be a great way to cherish his memory. RIP Dad🙏
