Tommy I'm 40 years old and I would just like to say that out of five different women and 25 years I think you found the one buddy! For her to sit out there in the rain with you and clean this transmission you've got a lifelong partner there buddy. I'm happy for y'all cherish that s*** man

[@59Ray]

Good luck on the build. It was funny seeing the look on Tommy’s face when he realized how much work was ahead of him. With all the great help surrounding you, you’ll get it done.

[@robertoclaytone]

I can't wait to see you do your first engine build with your dad. Not a lot of sons get to EVER do that. I'm really happy for you and your dad. It's gonna be a learning experience for sure. In addition, a rite of passage for a young man such as yourself. Here comes some bad-ass content.

[@franciswest182]

Tommy, you should know that Alison is one of a kind. To be out there with you degreesing a transmission in the rain. You don't find that in life but once. That is a special kind of love my boy. You cherish that girl and never let her go because if you do, you will regret it for the rest of your life. She is the total opposite of you know who. Keep doing what yous are doing. Yous will have times that are hard and yous might want to quit but don't. Give it time and it will work out in the end. That goes with everything in life. From family, friends, relationships, work and other things. Stay strong and remember if you work together as a team like yous do. Nothing will stop you. It might kick you a few steps back but you will leap a head of it in the long run.

[@satan6660384]

It is awesome seeing your dad relaxed and joking around like that.

It does work great but it’s painful to watch this poor kid sit there and labor over trying to get the thing spotless when it doesn’t matter at all cause Deon is gonna tear it down and put the case in the industrial washer and it will turn out like new with zero effort. Trust me Tommy, the transmission shop is used to dealing with dirty transmissions so it’s not necessary for you to sit out in the rain with a drill and wire wheel. It’s almost like something an older brother would have you believing (speaking from past experiences on that one unfortunately)

Hey guys, Tommy do yourself a favor and get in the habit of always pull the neg cable first when disconnecting cables off a car. The rule is neg on last and off first. It's just a safety thing. It's always enjoying watching you learn to turn wrenches. Keep up the good work. Later

[@brannonfrost4286]

I think your dad's idea of simply bolting on those vortec heads to keep costs low while building some MILD performance is spot on.Solid idea and direction.Everything will bolt right up.Simple,quick,and very low cost.Take the old guy out for a beer for that helpful idea.

[@KeepGrindingGarage]

Great video guys love that ya'll finally get to start on the truck and btw Tommy..Bill is absolutely right those Vortec heads on that 385 will be perfect for what your gonna do with it and plenty of power..I ran the same set-up in an S10 years ago with a 150 shot of nitrous and it was a nice little street/strip truck

[@kevinfenwick3477]

Oh Tommy you have soooooo much to learn! Keep digging! Also every auto parts store carry your pre-bent transmission lines. One more thing before you put any Vortec head on get it cracked checked, like to crack between the valves.

Only true auto enthusiasts would sit out in the pouring rain using battery and air powered tools decreasing and wire brushing a transmission, it was high time to breakout a power washer.

I had a truck just like that, same condition and all. I went to O'Riley's, got a gallon of Evap-O-Rust. The Evap-O-Rust spilled in the bed right about the time I stopped at Dairy Queen for a hamburger. I come back out, thought my truck had been stole, but there in the same place I'd parked it was my 4 rubber tires, the windshield, the vinyl seats and the aluminum bell housing!. I reckon I'll do one them testimonial fer Evap-O-Rust, 'cause it pert-near evaporated my whole dang truck.

The old man called that trans a 700r4 but I'm pretty sure in 93 would have been the 4L60 od trans without the E. There was about a 3 or 4 year span, in the early 90s there for the 4L60 with the cable. Same trans.

[@leonardlaing6733]

Looking forward to the project. I had a 92 and really enjoyed it.

[@benbrueggeman3451]

I knew it would be funny when you and your dad started working together. y'all did not disappoint! cab mounts and corners are normal on that body style. rocker panels a lot too. My son and I built an 88 back in the '90s. lowered with Micky tompson pro streets 18 in wide on the rear and 50s on 10 in rims on the front. fond memories. we both ride Harleys now along with most of the rest of my kids. biggest thing is to enjoy it!

[@Headsup9550]

OMG Allison nailed it! My dad bought an '89 Sierra in '89 and I was 9 years old. I literally thought my dad drove a spaceship!😂 Those trucks are fantastic! TBI 305/350's aren't much on HP but they are stone reliable!! I love the dashes in those trucks too but it makes an aftermarket stereo install, a big pain in the arse. At least they become centrally located for the driver AND passenger!😂🤣😂🤣 Bill, however, was wrong as usual.lol A 4l60e controls shift/line pressure through an epc solenoid which references TPS and yes TBI engines have throttle position sensors. They're used for fueling and cruise control on those trucks.

Hey Tommy, at least you had a lift and help, I dropped my 700r4 out of my 91 C1500(over 300,000 on the clock), wheels on the ground and by myself. Not fun at 64 yrs old. You have a good trans shop, I had one that shut down after they "rebuilt" it. 1800 bucks shot to hell when it blew up in 9 months. Shop had good refs, but owner had a stroke. Even though I`m screwed, I hope and pray for his recovery. Good luck, Stay safe all, God Bless

Bill is having way too much fun! I had an '89 GMC, same color, but mine gad a 4.3 V6 and a 5-speed. Sold it with 256,000 miles on it.

[@SweatyFatGuy]

Hey Tommy tell Bill... 700R4 and 4L60 are the same trans, both with TV cables and no removable bellhousing. They simply changed the name of it but the 4L60 has a VSS rather than speed drive gears. The 4L60E is the one with no TV cable, removable bellhousing, and needs a computer to run it right. Most of the parts that spin inside are interchangeable among all three of them. There are some year breaks for different things, auxiliary valve bodies, VSS/speedo gear, tailshaft changes.. but for the most part they are all derivatives of the Th350. That reminds me, I need to finish building a 700 for a friend, then put it in the 65 GTO so I can test it before taking it to him. I bet his car is close to running now.

[@Dumbass_mechanic]

Hell yeah! Go through that 385 and learn from the old man. Put those vortec heads on it and a little cam. Maybe put a kit in the transmission, and definitely put a trans cooler on it. That truck will definitely be a good daily driver/ tow pig.

[@edsmith150]

Woohoo tommy getting his hands dirty keep up the good work buddy

[@aphil4581]

Vortec heads on a 383 should be great! They say a mild pocket port can add 20hp. Torquey heads and a stroker. The perfect truck engine!

[@jeffrygorby4344]

I actually had a 96 c1500 step side with a 305 vortec in it. To my knowledge a lot of the stepside truck came with very tight limited slip posi rear end due to the fiberglass bed sides. You could always check the code in the glove box to find out exactly what gear ratio is in it before pulling the cover. Love the build and those OBS trucks!!

[@VernieB14]

1994 is the last year for the flat dash in 1995 they came out with the rounded one. 1993 was the first year GM put the 4L60E in that truck. So either someone has put the 700R4 in it or that truck is a 1992. I am really happy to see that you are starting on the OBS chevy. Take your time, learn and enjoy the build.

1994 was the last year of the flat dash. My truck was a 1994 GMC SLE stepside. Same dash and Door panels and replacement parts are super hard to find for the old style dash so even if it's broke "Do Not" throw any of the parts away because you can always glue them back together and have someone 3D print you the parts. I repeat. "Do Not" throw away any interior parts. Speaking from experience.
