Modern Wheels on a Classic Truck | Long Bed Larry - Ep. 29

In this episode we make a TON more progress on Long Bed Larry. We had a huge scare with only 3 of the new tires showing up.

Dude that truck looks insane! Good job

[@decentgarage]

Thanks man!

[@keeprtuned]

Enjoyed seeing this truck come together in person! Also appreciate the shout out!

[@decentgarage]

Good to have you stop by again!

[@scottyd1570]

Great job so far, love watching this come together

[@bcbloc02]

You have pretty much built an entire truck in the time it has taken me to get one turbo put back on old yellow. Lol😂

[@decentgarage]

Lol, I doubt that's true!

[@BikeCarpenter]

This is sickest truck I’ve ever seen

[@decentgarage]

It's really turning out way nicer than I expected.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

Do 2 tone like the exterior on the door cards

[@silverstonehtpc6889]

Love the wheel and tire setup. That's exactly the look I'm going for with my own build. I always enjoy the content, Tim!

[@decentgarage]

Thanks! 👍

[@shannisgeorge]

Beautiful truck awesome build but rims wouldn't have been my first choice, but definitely ur truck and very nice

[@georgeenriquez612]

Good job Tim!!! 👍🏻

[@cowthedestroyer]

well now i know my 90 is rare with a black dash bezel and ac. Love the build hate that it isnt mine but i hope to see it driving across the country soon

[@decentgarage]

Yeah, it's hard to explain, but the wood grain was for the LE models which also mostly had AC. Usually for the lower models which came with the black bezel, they were work truck and AC was not optioned as much.

[@douglasmorton6121]

You do very nice work! I love the truck! And those wheels and tires are a great match! Thank you for the videos. Stay Safe!!! 😎🇺🇸

[@decentgarage]

Thanks, you too!

[@kmac9759]

This truck is so cool.

[@benh2422]

Another great video such a clean build

[@decentgarage]

Much appreciated

[@90TBD]

Build is turning out awesome, Tim! Did i miss where you got the coolant resevoir from?

[@decentgarage]

Link for that is in the description 👍

[@90TBD]

@@decentgarage thank you!

[@chrisbyers386]

Watch you and regret getting rid of my crew cab long box 2 wheel drive think it was a 85 Keep it up long live mopar

[@decentgarage]

Seems like everyone who gets rid of one ends up regretting it.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

Black would have been better for rims !

[@decentgarage]

I've done black rims before and didn't like them much

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

[@mattforeman5657]

Awesome video, keep up the good work

[@decentgarage]

Thanks, will do!

[@wesscarey4475]

Love this channel!!!!!!!!!!

[@jprez427]

Do you have to trim the the piping for the five 9 kit? My is still in the box waiting for my garage not to be 130 degrees

[@decentgarage]

No, I didn't have to trim anything with that kit.

[@JU57US]

Where did you get those wheels and what is the offset? That's exactly the look I'm going for with my build - and those wheels look really nice!

[@wesscarey4475]

Offset rims are very harmful due to the increased leverage.

[@wesscarey4475]

This channel is the BEST! Be careful increasing tire size on these trucks. The larger size increases the leverage on the brakes making stopping more difficult. Also, this changes the overall gearing causing reduced power and fuel milage. The steering gear box and frame also can fail sooner. Best performance and reliability will be from the correct factory size on the door.

[@silverstonehtpc6889]

There are measures a guy can take to beef up everything else, such as crossover steering (which I think Tim did here), a steering box brace, hydroboost brake conversion, and brass kingpin bushings or a spring eliminator kit. With the stock setup, the best reliability will obviously come from the stock tire size. But that's not necessarily the best performance, as that is subjective and will change depending on the owner's intended use and desire.

The ole boy is looking good

[@freddydelgadoguzman7708]

Hola amigo cómo estás saludos acá de Austin Texas Freddy Delgado nice video look nice truk primero dios ya mero queda saludos y bendiciones amigo

[@lumberdan4430]

I just bought a 1993 w250 as the kid listed it’s been a headache trying to trace down wires is there a website that I can go to that will sell harness so I can redo everything

[@wesscarey4475]

Tim really does outstanding work. His ability to learn is amazing and he is fast becoming an expert on these trucks! 👍👍👍

[@wesscarey4475]

Also make sure the u joints are quality "Spicer" and that they are correctly angled and in phase with each other to prevent vibration and premature wear.

[@wesscarey4475]

Again, be very careful and due research on how changing the stock tire and rim size can affect a vehicle. A wider rim and tire will change the leverage on the steering gear box, frame and steering linkage. All can fail sooner due to the added stress. Taller tire diameter will change leverage and overall gearing causing reduced braking performance, reduced towing capacity and reduced fuel milage from incorrect engine RPM. Factory engineers design vehicles taking into consideration many factors. There are very good reason's they pick a certain size rim and tire. Same engineering also goes into the height of the vehicle. Adding lifts to the suspension should also be done with caution and an understanding of what unwanted consequences may arise. Aftermarket companies are in business to make $$$$. Often customers are not aware of potential problems that can and will occur. LOVE this channel and you do really good work on these trucks!

[@jamesryplewski2860]

I’m pretty sure he understands that and doesn’t care😂. Changing tire size and suspension lift isn’t really that big of a deal, especially when it’s only a couple of inches like this one is.

[@wesscarey4475]

@@jamesryplewski2860 Most people don't understand and don't care until the problems arise.

[@wesscarey4475]

Also make SURE you put sealer on the inside of the rubber seal. If no sealer is used it will leak and water will get under the rubber and rust the body away.

[@decentgarage]

What type of sealer do you use? I've never added sealer and haven't had issues for leaking. But I'm not opposed to doing it.

[@wesscarey4475]

@@decentgarage There are different types available. Check with an automotive paint and body supply shop for what they recommend. Silicon sealer will work. All windshields are sealed from the factory. It is very important.
