Puddin!!!!! That plastic thing is not for a washer fluid bottle. It’s locks your headlight housing in. Get it out the trashhhh… 😅

[@PuddinsFabShop]

😂😂😂 damn this comment made me laugh. Here I was making discoveries 😂😂

[@josephmullinix4435]

I was just about to make this comment 😂

[@C-loke78]

Yes me too lol

[@coodergreasermafiac.c.5689]

I'm n the same boat but fat fingers n small buttons. Prevented from ejermacating Ole puddin 😂

[@Chino_kochino]

Me too! Jajajajaja i felt like my mamá yelling at soap operas on tv, nooo pudddiiin noooooooo!

[@daisies1280]

Hey Puddin’, we are the family that donated the evolution saw!! We watch every Monday night!! Two fellow USAF vets, Amber and Chad Hankins! Always puts a smile on our faces when you use the saw!! We love the channel and content, we appreciate you!!

[@patricklundy9536]

Awesome but

[@redbeard6493]

What a thoughtful donation ! You guys are awesome.

[@BSR496]

He loves that saw.. Thank you for helping him out!

[@069diesel069]

Awwww, awesome

[@bigdaddy741098]

Nice one.

[@gregbrightwell662]

I really enjoyed this episode. It was nice seeing the former owner getting to drive his old truck, you're a good guy for calling him up and let him have a spin.

[@shadetree_antics]

One of my favorite recent episodes! This is my type of content, can’t wait to see you dig into it more!

[@Dobber72]

You can build what you like Puddin, I'd happily watch you build a 60's pickup body swap and then fix up a salvage Huracan straight after. It's the work you do and the commentary that I watch this channel for. It brightens my day and it's soooo much better than watching TV, much more entertaining and I learn stuff, sometimes while you're learning too.

[@NoWr2Run]

I'm 8 minutes in & $5,000 for that rig looks like a GREAT PRICE, MANY MANY NEW PARTS ALREADY INSTALLED, DAMN GREAT FIND.

[@toddmarshall2437]

Cool build. Nice guy. Happy you gave him a ride in it.

[@brucejr.5833]

That young man worked hard on that truck before you stole it from him. Good job going back and letting him get a drive in it. You're a good man puddin.

[@reggienoble571]

Lived in the Tulsa area for many years. We miss it. Love the channel! Keeping it cool, funny, and something my kids can watch too. The S10 is awesome!

[@j.walker3498]

Ma, Puddin is full of it, he told me he didn't have an S-10! Nice, so you bught a bunch of Holley parts and they came with a truck. lubey dubey dude

[@JustinStaggs-x1e]

Thanks for driving it out to Owasso. Was awesome to take that thing for a lap!! I would be more than happy to give you the Justin seal of approval on future projects 🫡

[@andrewthiel9351]

Dam nice build dude I gotta ask after driving it did it hurt to let it go

[@tc7584]

Man, you had that thing all the way to the finish line. I get how it happens and been there once myself.

[@tyg3rpro]

I so hope this becomes a thing

[@jeffreycain6856]

Justin, thanks for giving him a good deal and for the quality work getting it to the point you did. It went to a good home and will give us daydreamers some entertainment to boot.

[@JustinStaggs-x1e]

@@andrewthiel9351 I was just happy to see it on the road again. It was really cool to take it for a spin. But before puddin bought it, I had it sitting for a few months. So it was time to see someone else enjoy it. Luckily on KZbin a lot of people can check it out and learn about it!

[@JpBollin97]

As an owner of 2 of these trucks. With previously owning 5 of these platforms, blazer and pickups. I can't wait for more content on this truck. Good purchase puddin. Keep up the great work!

[@prfmoody]

Jacob don't sweat it man. Your tig welds look acceptable. I'm a welder and I'm proud of you 💪

[@terrytye6497]

I like those little Chevy S-10s I’ve owned a couple of them and had dang good luck with them. It’s a Chevy MAN

[@jdog_7027]

Love it , can’t wait for the rear end up grade also it was super cool to let Justin drive it after all the hard work he put into it.

[@glenryan6569]

Probably kicking himself in the ass now, talk about giving up 80% of the way.

[@Patrick-te1sc]

The weird little truck you saw in Stillwater appears to be a Daihatsu Midget, which was never sold in the US. Some of them have now been imported because they are over 25 years old. They are the miniest of the mini trucks.

[@aliciaANDanthonySandoval]

38:05 that clip goes to your headlight😂 not the washer pump or bottle. lol hope you still have it🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@elite_re1ard]

dude i used to own a s10 before i bought a monte and i cried a little inside watching him toss that like puddin.. IT HOLDS YOUR HEADLIGHTS.. i really hope he notices this comment

[@aliciaANDanthonySandoval]

​@elite_re1ard ya, I own a gmc sonoma(not running right now)and I could not stop laughing 😆 when he throws it.

[@jamesbarantor7094]

My dad would always tell that same cemetery joke during road trips when I was young, made me smile.

[@JDLarge]

What a great deal on that truck and VERY cool to meet up with the seller again to give him a little stick time! I bought my 98 S10 extended cab last year for four grand and it was a southern rust free truck but it only has the 4.3 in it. It’s still got some get up but I’d love to upgrade it to space shuttle status with an LS! Ive watched Kickass Brent do those swaps and he makes it look easy so who knows, maybe someday I will. Thanks for taking us along Puddin, it was fun!

[@froggersgarage5127]

A good turbo and bottom end rebuild could wake up you 4.3

[@phillipscarboro6354]

Love the s10 build. Please bring it back. You have a great truck at a great deal.

[@1leggeddog]

"the Harris Pepper wrench" Omg you know you've been watching for a long time when you remember him!

[@reverendroger]

That man used to send outbsome tools and supplies.

[@bradleyhice6025]

The truck looks amazing. Perfect wheels. Looks like a sleeper. I especially like the factory hood. Looks like it was built in the factory with the V8.👌

[@MikeSmith-bb5ii]

I've never seen you reply to a comment, but 35 yrs of tig welding and I can tell you that when you sharpen your tungsten, you dont want a circular pattern around the tip, you want the lines in the same direction as the tungsten length. Try both ways and you'll notice a big difference in your arc.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I’ll try it

[@leehuntley189]

And dedicated grinders! Oneside aluminum and the other steel! I've never had a problem using my steel on stainless tho.....so two wheels is enough.....and really it only matters when you want have really nice aluminum welds and slick stainless

[@toddhayes9955]

Fellow Air force vet as well. 63130 fuels troop back in the 90s. Went to Red Flag and learned to hate the Buff's cause we had to truck them full. I watch Puddin and Mortske ever week then put what I learn to work in the shop on the weekends. Thanks Puddin.

[@shawntims3817]

Honestly I'm glad you bought this, for so long I have wanted to see you do a V8 swap mini truck, this thing is awesome and I call dibs if you ever wanna sell it.

[@hughobrien4139]

That was nice to let Justin drive the truck he put so much work into.

[@fillg]

Poor ol Mortske... get caught stealing one truck and your friends will never let you live it down 🤣🤣🤣

[@jesterofatlas5749]

Need a mortske break out of jail tool kit. 😂

[@adamgroulx12]

Everyone's second favorite felon is definitely taking a beatn in this episode 😂

[@joem8229]

I like that you lurning something new with the welding

[@gilbertking3126]

That clip you threw in the trash holds the headlights in the truck lol

[@jeffries196]

I was hoping someone else know what that was

[@TheRYDENCUSTOMS]

Was coming to say this lol

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

I got a chuckle out of that. He'll realize when the light falls out. Haha😂. To be fair, Datsuns don't have those.

[@Randrew]

At 1:50:04 "...used to be a lot of cars" Gene Hauf retired more thatn 15 years ago. He either crushed or sold every thing he had. And his place was about a mile south of where you were pointing, on the west side of the highway.

[@rogerdean2306]

Hey brother . The smile on your face was worth watching you suffer your butt off for years . Never think you dont deserve it. Also alittle speed o the channel is absolutly amazing . Cant wait to see the transformation of this s10. Please fab shop blue . Collab perhaps with an airbrush artis?

[@FuhQ64]

If you back purge stainless it helps your puddle flow better since its not combating oxidation on the back side. The flange probably welded better because of the thicker material won't suck in air behind ot since it's not being penetrated. Good episode!

[@Mkline-vy5om]

I enjoy all of your content. The S10 is really cool. Good job, and keep on keeping on. God bless.

[@butchkuehn8048]

LOVE THE TRUCK!!! I bought a 2000 with the 5.3 swap off market place last year. It was a step side which interested me because it will fit 12"wides in the rear. I put the cowl hood on it SS front bumper cover and rear bumper delete roll pan on the back. And 2013 Corvette anniversary wheels on it which were 18s on front and 19s in the rear. With a posi rear it loved them 12 wides. It's a ripper!!! Can't wait to see you C notch yours and put a respectable rear in it. Supper cool puddin!!

[@dobledekersoulwrekr]

In 98 my buddy had the pink/raspberry color of this truck. Lowered, polished 18's and tinted ALL (even the windshield) windows. Beautiful truck, never saw rain. The tan truck looks great!

[@novavroomvroom3435]

I worked at a Chevrolet dealership in the early 90's and bought 3 square body s-10.. 1 was extended cab trophy truck with real wood interior trim... The other 2 i cut up and put the engine and transmission in the bed and put a keg under the hood to celebrate my loses at the race track... Those were the great days...!!!!!

[@DarkkLestat]

It's funny watching you fight with that starter, cause my Colorado is the same darn way since GM crammed a 5.3 in that sucker from the factory

[@matttaylor373]

im not even a chevy guy and i would rock that everyday and be proud of it!!! thanks for the videos!!

[@ulysseslima9534]

Cool truck. Fun to see you working on it.

[@surfer5352]

Mortske goes to jail for a stolen vehicle, but Puddin is the one out there stealing an S10!! You seriously got a steal of a deal on that one! Honestly, I would have paid 10k for it with everything you got! I clicked on the video when it said posted 2 minutes ago and there were already 200 likes! You are doing something right Puddin!

[@GlenHavard]

omg your first screamer build WOOOOOOOOOOHAWWWWWWWWW

[@BYo10]

This video was just right. Loved seeing work done in the shop, and seeing a cruise vlog in what you’ve been working on at the end. It’s fun to see you enjoying the fruits of your labor, great purchase and a great deal for you!

[@5.3pachyderm15]

I wrecked my dime in 2020. Slid out on a back road, bent the frame, she was done. Paid 900 for it, insurance gave me 3000. I'd give the insurance money back to have my truck back. I miss that thing EVERY DAY. have enough fun with it for the both of us

[@jaredtaylor4264]

The plastic clip that you threw across the shop holds the headlights in place. 😂

[@jasoncroson8466]

Absolutely love the truck brother. I have a 99 ext.cab same color, slammed. Bought it brand new at Cox's Chevrolet in Bradenton Florida. Every time i see it i smile from ear to ear,lots of good memories. Drive the wheels of her brother. 😊

Great vid, trouble shooting other peoples builds is difficult. Lucky you previous builder did a good job , and nice of you to show and let him take drive with you , very commendable, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@novavroomvroom3435]

Puddin, i had a 99 s-10 and i installed H.I.D. headlights ... They were bright like these newer cars

Im not really into the newer stuff either but this was cool. I definitely like it for sure.

[@jasoncooper3116]

There it is, the long awaited S-dime!

[@kenvangoe9358]

It’s just something about having a V8 in a light vehicle that seems so right. The power to weight ratio is what driving and enjoying it is all about . Be careful and stay safe Puddin God love ya

Ty rap gun is the most ideal, then flush cuts.

Yes it is because I built my 99 S10 ext cab and it's not cheap putting the correct parts on them to where your not beating the firewall in and crap.

[@RabidBadger-39]

I like it when you mix things up a bit & throw us a curve ball. This little S-10 is a beast, & I enjoyed seeing how much fun you were having taking her on that shakedown cruise. You keep producing content that puts a smile on your face - I'll continue to watch!

Being a retired welder learn how to walk the cup.I learned this after 20 years and went on strike and worked with a contractor 1999 and learned something new and invest in gas lenses with thin pipe with 3/32 filler rods to keep the puddle cool to get rid of the black ugly weld, a 60degree torch. 43 years building Subs and Carriers, Godspeed!
