GMC on 49's

[@jimkiesau5582]

I am tell'in you man your approach to the plan is great, high enough lift, big enough tires, didn't say what motor your running but it sounds pretty responsive but I see one potential huge problem, as a restorer and builder of these trucks since 1980 I've also pulled for 5 years I can tell you from experience those toothpicks holding your tires &wheels on are gonna go. If you want to play that game you need at the least Chevy dana 60 front, 14 bolt or Eaton HO 72 rear or better yet Rockwell 2.5'ers. That my friend will be your week link. Definitely on your first run bring it on a trailer ---don't drive it, or make sure your cell is charged up!!!!!!!! Jim.

[@michaelb6420]

I was thinking I FUKIN LOVE the truck but them wee wittle axles are NOT going to do very well

[@shanesimmons5806]

springs were custom made in Mississippi and the tires and wheels were about 3k

[@Shaggin_s10]

screww all the people talking crap! nice truck and everybody says it aint done yet, when i build something it aint NEVER done, im always likely to change something nice truck and i would leave the paint like that it looks cool to me.

[@terryyork6401]

Good job. Looks like you still a have some work ahead of you but your on your way. Happy Trails.😁

[@shanesimmons5806]

Just to clarify this upload and the project. I found the body and wanted to try building a lifted truck. I have always built bagged before this. You can search google for "$200 Hauler" for my last project. This is not funded by my parents as I am old enough to fund my own life. This video was taken for the person who purchased the truck from me. It wasn't finished by any means so hold the negative comments. Constructive suggestions are always welcomed.

[@MLGtroll365]

your neighbors must love you

[@thundergod6173]

Definitely needs bigger axles 60's or 2 1/2 tons also the angle on those drive shafts are doing to break for sure soon as you put tourq on them snap.

[@imsatanscott]

just a thought.. i might have finished the body work before i made it 10 feet tall.

[@chevytrucksman79]

Good lookin truck but you need to have a front drive shaft made for it..

[@clintchapman4319]

Gears man, gears!

[@showme8867]

Holy half ass 2wd batman, remember my first build, practice and money will get you there, tires were a huge investment,just keep dumping money in it,lol,we all do!

[@Slammedeth10]

@NIGHTRIDER995 thats awsome my daily driver is a 2006 gmc sierra z71 gfx package shes bone stock other than the cai and the flowtech 1 7/8th headers into true dual 3 inch straight pipes with thrush glasspacks to 3.5 inch tips. when i start her up almost sounds like a gunshot. what i love more about it is that when im at a cruise(low rpms) shes quiet as hell all u can hear is a few random pops from the glasspacks but when i open her up she just roars.. im not sure if my neighbors hate me. lol

[@shanesimmons5806]

The specs on the truck at the time of this video are: 20" spring lift, 49" IROK on 20's, Built 350 with 350 trans, 1 ton rear with 3/4 ton front

[@grantgemlo7348]

It will look good after a new paint job.

[@dewal5772]

I am sure this trucks got all the supporting mods now or is long sold by now but, I mean at the time and on this video that insane driveshaft angle would probably shear that u joint right off

[@obirb10]

cool truck! the motor sure seems like its labouring alot to push them 49's though!

[@1mean76]

man that 14 bolt looks so small with those 49s! shows you how strong they are

[@jefffloyd3480]

Lol No Front Drive Shaft Nice Really Kool I got 54's on my Moped ... Got More Money in Tires and Rims Than Trucks Worth...CARRY ON...

[@BLACKLACDTS]

@JUSTACHIPN yea it definitly wasnt a 572r 720hp big block with a 4000 stalled powerglide but it would be nice to cruise if thats your thing.

[@vwsandvettes3253]

One that tall would be doable with the modern day front and rear cameras. I'd hate to drive it without a way to see what's underneath!

[@analog56x]

dude, your leaf springs are like freaking U's haha! no way those will offer any suspension... should have 4linked it front and rear...

[@barryrobinson8085]

Now that's a healthy sounding engine

[@chevybigblock3311]

Sounds like a thumper cam with a shiny edelbrock carb in a tired old SB

[@michaelbarrett8194]

nice truck looks almost idenical to mine but mines all black

[@austinthemm3952]

sweet truck bro, really like it! where did you get the springs?! also how much did those tires n wheeels run you?

[@Corvette-nc2wh]

Drop T case needed. love it tho.

[@gmfan6029]

yeah look at that driveshaft angle 🤣

[@NIGHTRIDER995]

i love how you have that truck in that kinda of neighborhood,my neighbors piss a bitch when i fire up my 89 dodge she got trueduals with straightpipes and glasspacks!

[@gurnblanstein9816]

Stock half ton differentials. Probably open with stock gears. And he drives around in low range lol

[@85square]

love it, but needs bigger axles

[@ippielb]

Did you make that lift yourself? You running dual u joints on each end of those driveshafts? i'm looking to do the same kind of lift / tire's on my 85 reg cab short box.

[@CodyDickson]

how many gallons per mile?

[@98offroadFORDexpo]

its most likely for mud. and at least the springs arnt on blocks. its stronger that way.

[@SpeedyXsim87]

I have 2 questions, 1: How exactly do u get in and out, 2: What is the gas mileage

[@602_7.3L]

1: 10ft latter 2: 10 gallons per mile.

[@rhino4311]

this thing can probably fuckin float with those big ass tires on it

[@abcdefg54321x]

I bet the neighbors LOVE you! ROTFL!!!

[@truthamedia]

@xXCulverinXx I have almost Identical rims and I go mudding all the time in my truck. its called washing them so STOP ASSUMING!

[@CoreyBatchelor]

hey i did the same thing to my truck i lifted it 13 inches and now the front drive shaft wont reach the axel do you know any websites i can get an extention?

[@Kbailey252]

Your truck sounds alike like mine

[@steveandant]

are you running a 10 bolt in the front?????

[@rangerkid777]

to short for that size lift, clock your axle so the yoke is at about 2 o'clock instead of at 3.

[@trmn8r18]

That thing's a monster. How much time do you have invested in it so far?

[@truthamedia]

@xXCulverinXx I agree with you 100%. but doing it for the ladies is still a pretty good reason to do it ;)

[@trip7shark]

@Radneck6 Yea! It's like having a dream car! People want expensive new ones or modified old ones (like me). And really... those who flame are the have nots and dont really know how to get into it.

[@ARno15]

what sized lift? please reply want the same style truck and same size tires

[@Wolfman1974ify]

i was gonna ask if it was 4 sale but looks like he still working on it lol

[@deleteduser4045]

Holy driveline angle. Did you ever get the front driveline on?

[@gregoryalong]

What they don't show is the ladder he had to use to get into the truck.

[@lacombboy]

15" springs or the 20" springs?

[@trb252003]

f-ck everyone else build how you can or want its your money and time maybe everyone with a negative comment can donate some rockwells looks like a badass truck to me

[@shanesimmons5806]

I would just use a local drive shaft shop. Thats what I did for the rear

[@shanesimmons5806]

its 16" of springs but I flipped the rear hanger and lowered the front ones

[@jetninjamonkey]

why no front drive shaft?

[@ryantidwell6656]

What gears are in there?

[@YamahaWR200]

@jonhestananet ha it's a mudder.. Not a wheeler...

[@gregorylookin4thattruth993]

What size are those rims? Thank you

[@randyreynolds6508]

Gregory lookin 4 that truth! 49 iroks tires 20" rims

[@Wolfman1974ify]

lol i want one just like it

[@joshuaphillips9987]

I would not have that no front drive shaft call this thing old tooth pick axle s and mall crawler that shit in the woods would last about 10minutes before it broke and way under powered..! all you need is 4"-6" spring lift and 33-35 that's it..! but enjoy the mall and going around the McDonald's if that's what you want from your truck...:-(

[@CTK339]

Death trap, no way those 1/2 tons can stop those tires

[@blackvan84]

what lift do you have looks hot

[@James-qq2vq]

Did I just hear the u-joints squealing....?

[@fatphatboy88]

that drive shaft angle is rediculous

[@MrJRR67]

WHERE CAN GET LEAF SPRINGS LIKE THAT ANY ONE NO ?

[@rodman23t]

that must be one of those stealth front driveshafts. not sure why you wasted money on shocks when the suspension can't move.

[@XxClemsonTigersXx]

Holy shit...i could buy a dam good 4WD truck for the amount you payed on tires and rims!

[@MyRallyChannel]

its really high but it doesnt seen to have any suspension performance at all. stiff like a stick

[@ja4292]

For one the rear is a 1 ton 14 bolt, and the front is a 10 bolt 3/4 ton, so stop with the "GET RID OF THE HALF TON AXLES", I personally don't care for the truck, just put a nice paint job on it and drive it around town, if you take it off road you won't need to worry about the running gear the first thing to snap(and it will happen quickly), is the driveshafts.

[@Norco5327]

How do you get in this?

[@joshjacobus4641]

That's my dream truck

[@Seif5034]

wow! you could drive that puppy onto the roof if you felt like it

[@CRF505R]

sounds like a tractor until you gas it :p

[@Thaggard_is300]

those tires and rims cost more then what i paid for my truck.

[@rd2fst]

is it for sale?

[@doughnutguy82]

@batesville2 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

[@manygame507]

hmmmm beautiful baby

[@mrpomerleau]

time for 2 1/2 tons unless its a street queen

[@bosqueboys]

I think his front yard is as far offroad as he goes

[@austinwall1]

no front drive shaft

[@ARno15]

thank you so much

[@xXCulverinXx]

With those rims this truck will never touch mud, rich kid waste of a truck.

[@mbrooks439]

Might need to adjust the pitman arm looks like you can't turn as far to the left as you can to the right. Looks pretty nasty!

[@SDRacing88]

box that frame!

[@xjTalk]

Transfer case is a waste for a 2WD

[@howgydoneighbor]

how much you want for it

[@jeffreywillis1838]

👍

[@tadheath5856]

Is that going to be a pavement princess or mega truck?? I'm not picking on u.....I have a pavement princess too....

[@MrJRR67]

ANYONE NO WHERE I CAN GET LEAF SPRINGS LIKE THAT .

[@strokerstang7]

it needs gears

[@drewhamm7078]

Ujoints will explode

[@drummingdave817]

that truck totally doesn't belong in that neighborhood... looks like most people in that neighborhood drive little bmw's and caddy's... they must hate you

[@troytrivett2854]

he just washed it its still wet duh

[@BarneyGoneBad89]

bout 11 more inches

[@SpidermanRun]

nice turn radius. . . . . . . . . not

[@truspirit1925]

Dude lower that transfer

[@drummingdave817]

@2066241 i would too

[@SpooksHill]

2wd

[@batesville2]

Any truck without 4 wheel Drive is Useless

[@Bgoober181]

he aint no hillbilly he dont know how to make a left turn.

[@chevyblazer1987]

@fatphatboy88 u joints prolly dont last long lol

[@TheSteelhead15]

Know****

[@David-yy7lb]

Pointless, no front drive shaft so it's a 2wd truck, u-joint on the rear d/s is at such a severe angle the joint won't last a week, should have used a transfer case drop box, stock gears transmission is on its death bed should have used 5:13 gears or lower, leaf springs are at such a severe arc the truck has no give in the suspension and the rancho shocks are useless should have used a 4 link suspension, stock axles should have 2.5 ton Rockwell axles

[@tonyhammer3588]

Proof that stupid people can do stupid things. Nobody in their right mind would build a useless truck unless they were half brain dead. Completely useless truck.
