Been laying in bed, sick, and bored to no end! What a nice surprise to see there’s a new TNTG episode! Cheers Chad! Thanks for taking us along

[@robertchryssikos1006]

Hello my friend how are your knee? Do I hope you feel better soon

[@KrazyJM]

In a pinch you can use a socket on the end of the c clamp

[@jangles1839]

Mr Chad I'm glad to see that you did decide to take a break from the ol' 40 and get to the work that Dude needs.... after all, he deserves it!

[@russelblackwell6041]

What a beautiful job you've done mate done it justice things you touch turn to gold always quality video content Americans made beautiful cars

[@LarryCruson-wf8pu]

Well done Chad, my grampa had a Chevy truck like that, it's what I learned to drive in,it had the old 235 6 cylinder 3 on the column it had windows in the corner in the back of the cab enjoyed the front end swap Larry and Sandy

[@stuartfletcher2378]

That was enough to make a man ask himself " what is happening to this world " ? , no instructions a complete set of parts missing !! , just set right in and do your best . You did that and succeeded the job in fine order . Stuart in Canada ..

[@donscarborough1951]

You will make it. Great Video..

[@geebopbaluba1591]

Speedway parts come from Australia so they put the shipping cost on their parts so that’s the reason for the sharp increase in cost. Also Summit Racing dropped them because of deceptive pricing and very poor Chinese made parts that they sell as name brand. Yep

[@ThisNThatGarage]

You're thinking of speedmaster.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

Yeah I’m sorry about that

[@dannybenfield1164]

I can't wait to see the next video of the truck in the Power tour and the 40

[@donaldgiglio6501]

I bought a Mustang 2 front clip from Speedway Motors for an old chevy, but had it installed on my 50 Dodge p/u. It wasn't easy but we got it to fit and it's great.

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Good Job Chad ! You have the ol 40 and Dude done for Powertour . God Bless you and stay safe.

[@rickydonahue1586]

Somebody's gonna want to kill me but we had a hood exactly like dudes that we used to pull behind the snowmobile back in Maine when I was a kid. It was a blast!😁 Hey Chad we just had a violent storm roll through here (central Texas) and it looks like it's heading your way. Lot's of lightning, tornadoes, flooding and hail. Be safe! 🙏

[@blaircrocker9845]

You are not the only one so did I up in Canada. VW hoods were good for that as well.

[@nique1944]

I think I saw in Popular Mechanics when I was a boy that two of these hoods were welded together to make a canoe.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Chad :) also yes this vechiles update has lots surprises to and modify on some also challenges too do! But well done so far Chad :) actually like Copper type brake lines and found rust up as fast like others do too ! I started used them in 2009 year and did with my vehicle and other! No complaints from me!

[@andrewrose8404]

I really like the video this week things take time, but you’ll get it done by then Chad love the merch I got recently 👍

[@jamesthev5607]

Glad you are going this year

[@kirk467]

Good to see you Chad, looking forward to your video my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻 I always like seeing you working on Ole Dude and the 40 Coupe!

[@shawnlowell4522]

Yup ..awe yah

[@7477corvettes]

Sketchy job putting those springs in. 😊

[@philipsearls1946]

Your range of Engineering skills are truly to be Admired. Pity our Chinese friends couldn't take a leaf out of your book. Brilliant video again. Big Thumb's up.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍

[@darinp5612]

awesome!!

[@williamnicholson2188]

Love the channel. Mix of everything. Really look forward to an episode. Thanks for letting us have a look at what ya doing.

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another , Brother.

[@jacobuspretorius-jl1tj]

Just absolutely love your shows!!! And DARN old DUDE is still one sexy truck!!! I tell ya I'll sell my kidney for it!!! surely will!!! Good luck with all you gotta do!! I'm cheering you on all the way from SA!!!

[@jimrobin98]

I don't blame you for fabricating your own parts! The prices they charge for aftermarket parts is ridiculous! It is a lot cheaper to fabricate parts with stuff you have on hand! Plus---you dont have to pay for shipping! Shipping charges are outrageous!!

[@richardcobb2852]

Looks great Chad. 👍👍

[@Darylatlarge]

Lots of hard work ✌️

[@lawrenceedwards6327]

How in the world would you know how to put that front crossmember in with no instructions??!!?? There’s too many steps to guess!! Crazy! Great build as always! Can’t wait to see old Dude tearing up the asphalt!!

[@bulldogmotorsports9522]

Dude is blind in one eye. Love your videos .

[@johnruppe1699]

Strong work Chad

[@bulldogmotorsports9522]

Dude sounds so good.

[@josephegon6058]

Don't know if you thought of this but maybe try the upper and lower control arm on the opposite side it might move the spindal back.

[@marctorigiani4558]

It kind of looks like those spring seats are off about an inch 2 inch and a half just like your centerline is off. I hope I'm wrong with this

[@ThisNThatGarage]

They're exactly as they go! 👍

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Looking good 👍😊

[@corydriver7634]

I know you’ll make it happen! It’s going to be cool to see you on HRPT.

[@harrywalker968]

if you have nuts you cant access.. weld them before install to plate ect. or weld a 3mm wire to them or flat, like factory so they dont turn. plus its a handle..

[@rickydonahue1586]

YEE YEE!! Let's go!👍👍😁

[@laurensmith1828]

That front end is going to be awesome. Dude will drive better then the day it came off the assembly line! Nice work!

[@thezipster66]

At last pride of the fleet is back. What more can we ask for. As you know Chad we all believe Dude is your best work. We've been a bit concerned last few videos your not firing on all cylinders sir. Don't forget Sunday day of rest. Cant let the channel burn you out Chad. Really enjoying the channels as usual. Always recommending your content to everyone. All the best from the Zipster crew London.

[@WVJeeper1968]

Hiya Chad! I bet that tour will be a blast! The 40tee is looking sweet!

[@LittleRedsGarage]

I know its gonna be a good night when you post a new video, thanks buddy!!!

[@ryandonato8563]

Come on everyone tell all your friends or anyone you know let's her chads channel to 100k subs and beyond

[@karlcollier8017]

Couple of nice hot rods

[@philiphereford5657]

😊

[@geraldharkness8830]

that was a struggle chad but end result looks awesome!

[@laurensmith1828]

Great video, i especially like the heim joint trick! Thanks for taking the time to bring us along!

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

Not my favorite thing to do is drill broken bolts, just because they were soft enough to break, but hard enough to ruin just about every bit you throw at till decides to be giving in let you drill it.

[@harrywalker968]

theres reverse drills, heat up area first. if posi..atf at penatrean.. everything you do in u.s. is illegal here in aus..

[@lawrenceedwards6327]

Just watched this again. I had to laugh when you were removing the steering box. You were trying to get the box off the steering shaft. Two whacks with the hammer, then a jump cut and you’re slicing it with the grinder. You dont mess around Mister Chad. Good for you!!

[@txdbstx8967]

You need to use coil spring compressors and make sure the bottom of the coil springs are properly seated in the cups. Along the coil spring ratings you have coil spring diameter and height. You need to get the correct height springs for your desired ride height. The stand off collet needs to be snug on the steering shaft. It WILL vibrate going down the road and should like a monkey with a claw hammer banging underneath your truck. From my experience building these model Chevy trucks since I was 15 years old, the frame rails on the pre 1954 models are usually out of wack at least a little bit. No surprise there. There’s other DIY IFS options as well. such as the Dodge/Chrysler Volare graft which in your case wasn’t a viable option. Sort out your spring height. That’s your biggest issue. Go buy or rent coil spring compressors and you will be set.

[@leighfleming2075]

Thank you for sharing

[@joemazzola7387]

I was afraid that the tire wouldn't be in the center of the fender but it worked out fine!

[@vborg001]

Looking good!!👍👍

[@richardschultz6522]

I love your channel.You're my kind of guy.Do it yourself guy make your own stuff. Can't wait to see the finished product on the truck. Thanks

[@Falconurbex]

Great video chad i was thinking u should invest im some spring compressers just to keep u safe for if u either have to take springs of or put them on in the future u will be safe using them and have no worries about them flying of and taking ur head of.Thanks for the upload brother and see you in your next video.

[@tonypaul2987]

More ford parts on a chevy. Lol sorry boss you do good work. Love your videos

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Yeah these ain't ford parts except the spindles.

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@stevodakine1]

Man if anyone deserves a lift in their garage it’s you. Looks great.

[@robertlacob8831]

Chad, You're keeping us all in suspense! We have faith in your country ability to make it right! get 'er done.

[@surindersandhi3924]

[@Bill-uu6vs]

You’re getting much closer !!

[@dominickpeterpaul8340]

Nice workman ship today Chad, no one said when it comes to these front end kits it's no easy task unless you modify something along the process, otherwise with your patience and fabrication skills you'll be ok , so far it looks great Chad, see ya next Wednesday , get some rest.

[@MikeyMikeM21]

You will make it, I have faith in ya

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Great job! I can hardly wait until next week! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@ep9360]

Very nice lil truck build. A comfortable and entertaining watch. I'm subbed. Forget about it. ❤

[@apere003]

Just picked up 2 surface conditioning tools.......SCT .......bought at Harbor Freight.......speeds up body work

[@robertbennett9243]

You the man! You make putting that mustang II set up in look easy. Loved the expensive hood holder upper you use.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

It works great!

[@daultontippett446]

Wassup Chad been watching a lil bit now nd you’ve basically helped me get my dad first truck back running it’s a 1990 step side 2wd 4.3 nd finally got it running back after ikt sitting for 17years 4years after I was born got parked nd now gonna have the family first truck back on the road soon gotta put a trans in it but she rides in 2nd at least💪

[@ThisNThatGarage]

That's awesome! Keep working on it! 👍

[@terrytye6497]

Thaw 40 took a long time but was worth it. Love that car. Don’t know why but I love Lockjaw to he’s my favorite truck. Would love to see it fixed up a little better and see it more often. Every time you would say we robbed so and so off of Lockjaw I would grit my teeth. Good job .

[@olymono2625]

Looks like that lift helped a lot to keep things at a good working height.

[@amerritt261]

You really need to see someone that specializes in sports medicine. Big difference in how they help you. When I was younger I twisted my knee and ignored it. 25 years later I was in agony. Lucky for my I broke my wrist 😂. A dr walking by saw how I was walking and called me in. He took one look at it felt the joints and gave it a yank and twist. Man if I didn’t want to deck him😅. But I walked out straight and true. 15 years later I’m still good.

[@harrywalker968]

you seen u.k bobby,s on the street with there trungeon, doing knee ups downs.. that, is what sports guys do here in aus, & me.. twisted 4 times.. buy a multi gym, knee,s & shoulders usually give out first.. i have bad knee, back surgery 35yrs ago,, 2 shoulders, & a bad attidude to doctors that like selling drugs..your lucky that doc cared, very rare.. even vets for animals are bs..

[@user-jo7ee5uk7t]

I think you lower control arms are upside down and wrong side

[@ThisNThatGarage]

No sir.

[@charlielowe5258]

I learnt a bunch on this one 😎👍

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍

[@rickyball6707]

Hi I just watch old videos of yours. Bleeding the brakes on your dude if you use a jar with a little hose put some brake fluid in and you can do the brakes by yourself as this is the method I use and have no problem with it love you channels keep up with the lovely work

[@bobsharp9217]

I think that old truck would look wicked old school. Set it up like a good woman nose down ass up . Put some big tires on the rear

[@TheDavidcrockett]

Hopefully your wheels are still centred in fender opening. ❤

[@richardbates2367]

I have to say I've always thought this especially as rough as it is the country squire station wagon would be a neat gasser lol

[@ricardolandsman9465]

Chad I need you to pay more attention to dude in the future I love that van. 👌💯

[@tannerlawson1721]

Damn that's awesome looks good

[@nickmcminn2137]

Are those lower A arms upsidedown and on the wrong sides? Fix that and the coils will sit propper and the wheels will be centered

[@pecktox]

I wondered that too.. maybe switch left for right..?? Peck

[@dalesmith112]

You are strong as a darn ox sir LOL

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

This is excellent content Chad how far are you going to travel with the Power Tour
