1980 GMC Hot Rod Pickup Mondello Built 455 Olds V8

[@jimmy_olds]

That truck is perfect. My two favorite things matched together, a big block Olds in a squarebody

[@deadlydavem]

Finding these trucks is rare having come from the factory with an olds diesel like this one had. If you can find one don't pass it up. The 455's will drop right in. Sweet truck!

[@Carla-tz7qw]

80 model is one of a kind. Fuel door and full chrome around the headlights and turn indicator lights.

[@samspace81]

Man that truck is cool! Looks like it was built with Love.

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah Sam, this is definitely a nice one. Thanks for taking a look!

[@SteveHolsten]

Thanks Jeff. This pickup is super nice. Those 455's are sweet.

[@RamblinAround]

It really is a nice one, it sounds so good too. Thanks for taking a look Steve.

[@christokinieriem8796]

Wow! The sound of that engine reminded me of late 60s Can-Am cars. I had to watch some old racing videos. Thank you.

[@RamblinAround]

It really does have a great sound to it. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@creamofcardstv]

A hot looking truck for sure. No wonder it got the super slick camerawork treatment :)

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you my friend, we did spend a little time on this one.

[@SSett]

+RamblinAround hello , where i can find the same grille as shown in the video?

[@morry850]

Seems like you guys worked hard on this one, the production quality is great!

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. We plan to continue to improve the quality in the months ahead. We're just waiting on some nice Spring weather, so we can go for a drive.

[@not2fast4u2c]

That is a super clean truck I like the GMC grill it has more style than the chevy grill

[@RamblinAround]

I agree, I've always liked the look of the GMC's too. They did a nice job with this one.

[@ollijokinen1571]

Freaking sweet truck! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

[@RamblinAround]

Glad you like it. Thanks for having a look!

[@justinmosley1346]

I just picked me up an 86 c10 swb with a 455 in it. I love it

[@peterpennello4870]

Do you know what kinda headers are on it? Part # by chance im working on this build in an 80s c10

[@dudemanguyfella3736]

Nice truck! I own a 76 GMC Sierra Grand with the big block and pretty low miles. 77k I love it.. That 455 though! That's badass!

[@williamhugelmeyer2702]

Best choice to get 5000lbs rolling in a hurry with good mileage too! I wish you had a pick of the motor mounts used. I'm thinking welded up clamshell motor mounts.

[@jeremy8797]

William Hugelmeyer same here. I’m doing the same swap now.. but I have no idea what I’m going to do for mounts

[@jeremy8797]

@Dave Micolichek thanks buddy!

[@chrismedders794]

Damn what a paint job...it still looks wet!...killer truck man...thanks. for that vid

[@RamblinAround]

Chris Medders It really is a great looking truck. Glad you like it, thanks for watching!

[@svalenti94]

What an awesome truck

[@BAKHSING]

nice truck, got me a 1979 GMC Seiria Classic dually 3500. slowing fixing him up. 454 big block 4 barrell Eddele broc. only 60k on it. no serious rest just a couple of surface rust.

[@VincePGallant]

Nice truck. Those rear tires wouldn't last long!😎

[@peterpennello4870]

What kinda headers are you using have a part#? Got a 75 455 i wanna put in my 80c10

[@nels0nmike]

Did you ever figure out what headers he’s using?

[@steviedee71]

Whoever built this truck has great fucking taste 👌💯🔥

[@froglobster]

Nice post thank for the share-I had 73,74,79 all had 350s love the old style 73-80 I believe was same except grill

[@cheesmbrosproduction]

what headers were used with this build?

[@johnpippin2426]

Found 2 old 455s for $400 think I'm going to buy them after seeing this. Sweet ride brother 👊

[@CraigArndt]

The beginning of the video sounded like drum solo for Van Halen, Hot for Teacher. Awesome truck. Saw a Chevy hub at the end.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@robertsmith5744]

I've seen two C-10s with Olds 455 V-8s !!! ---- Both Red one in Texas and one in Florida.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

It ain't no '77 Camper Special, but that is one kickass truck that could smoke the tires for freakin' miles. even with a 350 they were pretty damn crazy. not much weight to those things and absolutely zero traction made for quite the fun ride!

[@RamblinAround]

I'm sure this one will burn 'em as long as you'd want to. Thanks for taking a look Murray.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

You betcha buddy! Those are one of my fav trucks! I have history with em!

[@quintonvaughn5711]

What size and model are those tires boss? Also, what is the is the model number for that paint and who makes it? Thanks!

[@78BroncoOscar95]

Sweet truck! I'm a ford guy but don't know if I would get this or a 79 bronco or supercab truck.

[@11094DEREK]

I want this truck so bad

[@tombankwel4822]

This truck is a podracer sounds like it too Jordan put nitrus in the motor great sound and Jordan this car would be awsome whith nitrus like a 🏁 racecar moves fast thank you jeff and Jordan for this video beautyfull truck

[@robertsmith5744]

I've seen two Chevrolet C-10's with an Oldsmobile 455 (stock) with automatic PS.PB/AC. Great !!!

[@Roscoe_B]

Very nice... quality work shows. Should move quick at that price

[@RamblinAround]

I agree, there aren't many around that are this nice. It sure sounds good too. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@b-rad87short75]

What's the color code for that red truck nice color man

[@jackk59196]

hello what brand paint is that

[@garyhawthorne1678]

what brand paint is that

[@turboreset1122]

And I thought my '80 was the only one with a 455 in it! Very nice truck. Do you know where those bucket seats came from?

[@-spacedout--spacebound-7438]

Beautiful truck but I do believe it's a 77 GMC. Bf had one with the same grille

[@jonahbennett3436]

It's a 1980 GMC I have one nice truck

[@79c15]

I need that 79 80 diesel cluster front.

[@KevinMillard68]

cool truck

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@wtbm123]

I like it

[@RamblinAround]

It's definitely a nice truck. Thanks for watching!

[@rdmccun]

very nice!

[@saadalshammarei2660]

رووعةة ✌🏽️

[@phill903]

That's a nice truck worth the money can't buy a new truck for that kind of money.

[@RamblinAround]

It's a nice usable truck too, with A/C and overdrive....double overdrive actually, cause it has an external overdrive behind the 700r4. They put some serious money into this one.

[@slimjim119]

man it sounds awesome and looks great also

[@RamblinAround]

It really does sound good. Thanks for watching Jim.

[@bisquik3006]

I'm not going to comment on the Chevrolet lug caps. Moving along, I wonder if she was a diesel truck from the factory. I know around my area if you saw the 6.2 badge on the tailgate, you would more than likely see a 455 Olds under the hood thanks to General Motors pathetic attempt at making diesel engines back then. How cool would GMC trucks have been if they didn't use Chevrolet engines, and instead packed Buick, Olds, and Pontiac big blocks?

[@RamblinAround]

You're exactly right, the diesel was an Olds style block, so it makes for an easy engine swap. That's the case with this one.

[@RamblinAround]

***** No, since the diesel is an Olds style block and it was a pretty weak engine, people often yank out the diesel and throw in a 455 instead.

[@christopherbagley8632]

Also the fuel tank is on the driver side. My 80 Chevy truck its on the passenger side. Pretty sure that was a diesel thing.

[@johnwayne7476]

The 401 with the 347 rear was available in the previous body style.

[@johnwayne7476]

Christopher Bagley Some GMC upper level sport pickup trucks has a Olds unit from the factory. They where targeted at the Dodge Lil red wagons / warlock. The Ford f100 with the 302 hi output cloud of sport pickups available from time to time. The 402 hi po was available in the 67-72 model Chevy and GMC and in the SUV of the same body type. Chevy whent with the 454 hi horsepower with a dramatic paint scream and with wagon wheels and roll bars . Don’t see many of any around these days. Ford also used a lot of390 with auto and 3 on tree back then to . They all offered a sport model . Hard to beat a 455 Oldsmobile though

[@ckryses3962]

Hearing that only one word coming to mind "" Monstrosity""!

[@azazazaza]

Oh. That sound :`)

[@RamblinAround]

It really does sound great. Thanks for watching!

[@djsheld0r910]

you forgot to include the horsepower

[@jackwatters9502]

Those door panels arent original. Those are 81-87 style

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Sweet sounding engine. Not a fan of the Wheels at all .

[@wannahumpalot8924]

It's a beautiful truck right up until you open the hood! That Olds motor is a BOAT ANCHOR! Usually people replaced diesiel conversions with junky Olds engines sorry, but the only thing worse that could be in this truck would be a FORD engine!

[@darinmcdonnell712]

anything is better than a dime a dozen Chevy, which I actually do have a big block Chevy as a boat anchor that I use to more my 12ft Schiff but the block is so light and flimsy and such poor quality iron that even the 300lbs Schiff drags it around. that is why they used 4 bolt mains because the iron was of a poor quality unlike the olds blocks that had a high quality iron with a lot of nickel in the iron for strength, that is why an olds NEVER needed a 4 bolt main like the poor quality Chevys.

[@wannahumpalot8924]

Darin McDonnell That’s why 95% of all race cars run a chevy based power plant! Also, why Chevrolet has broken every record ever set by any type of domestic power plant! Meanwhile, Oldsmobile did run in Pro Stock Drag Racing, and the did really good! Oh, wait, that was a DRCE Big Block Chevy too! Lol. Oldsmobile motors were put in a lot of jet boats! You know why? Because when they blew up a month later, they were already at the lake so they just unbolted the POS, tied a chain to it and used it as the boat anchor until the Chevy create engine was delivered, so they could make it a real boat! Olds is so bad ass, they don’t even make them anymore! 😂💥💥🤮

[@79c15]

Those arent the original style door panels. Far off of the original

[@williamsmith5695]

Originally a diesel truck.

[@ПрипадчевАлексей]

[@hasanalabadi3401]

Its not 1980 .. its right model 1979

[@darinmcdonnell712]

good Choice pulling that dime a dozen Chevy motor, and putting in a properly built olds motor. like the olds saying goes horsepower sells engines torque wins races. I would suggest seeing what you could get for that torqueless big block Chevy at them scrap yard but Chevrolet uses su h a poor quality iron, you probably would not get much for it or your might have to pay them to take it. just sayin'.

[@darinmcdonnell712]

@Dave Micolichek yes, rocket racing makes that new big block olds. Do you have one?

[@dodososo9172]

That’s not a1980 it’s 79
