[@TruckMaster]

What color should I powder coat the rear differential cover??? Comment below ⬇️

[@kerrywaldrop4546]

Purple

[@gregshue645]

I like the idea of the purple with the black fins for some contrast

[@keydanasefa8438]

Definitely PURPLE

[@cpgisme915]

Purple/black fins. And please nooo dump bed

[@jP-lu5kl]

Black with purple fins

[@barry.monday]

Can’t wait to see it completed. I think dump bed would ruin it

[@TruckMaster]

That’s why I’m asking 👍

[@jesusmercado7995]

Yup no dump

[@hater-im5ss]

No dump

[@seanthornhill9503]

What’s the fascination with dump beds on everything. What happened with the last dump you put a dump bed on lol

[@jeffmoleskivintageiceracin5935]

I’m a little late on the video this week. But definitely no dump bed.

[@Arkenyon03]

Only issue I have with this video is that it’s just not long enough!!! Man I love the builds you do! Keep it up!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks brother

[@tonysims6858]

Go with the Banks cover. Get it in raw and you can paint it any color you want. The black and purple would look great.

[@randybode5627]

banks diff cover is the way to go, I have it on my lml. A square body on the old frame with a flat bed would look sick!

[@LuisLopez-jm9hm]

11:57 I can relate to truck masters frustration 🥲

[@WBOS72]

Gorgeous truck Josh. Definetly go Banks rear diff cover, leave it black. No dumpbed, leave that option out.

[@BOVAction]

Looks great! Mine is nowhere near as bad as that was, but I can't wait to start doing the same to preserve it!

[@t.l.robinson2162]

The Wifemax really looks sweet with that rear roll pan.

[@austinprice9523]

Looks great Josh! Illusion violet diff cover would look great, can’t wait to see this build complete been watching it from the beginning to now

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Austin

[@davidhancock1788]

With what you plan on doing with the truck I would use the Banks. If you have time watch how his Dif cover was designed.

[@builtbyme]

its always the times we're trying to be careful is the time we drop something or mess something up. looking good

[@wrathmax1887]

It's amazing to see this truck, your new shop, and all the other trucks you have come together and over time see how you have grown as well as the builds. I'm a proud supporter of your journey and channel. Also i think it's the perfect amount of purple. Nowadays everyone blacks out everything except for directly associated SEMA builds its nice to see something different. Good work! 🤘 💜 🤘

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks brother

[@Elhafeez0]

Thanks for watching and showing love you have been among our shortlisted winners message me for more information...........................

[@AllThingsBoost]

perfect amount of purple, looks amazing. also I'm a fan of the black wheels on it over the chrome. keep up the great work!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@bs-pu3dg]

4:27 "I brought the LBZ this time because it never works" 🤣 had me for a second

[@TruckMaster]

😂👍

[@Black_Widow317]

That purple and black combo is 10 of 10👌🏽🟣⚫️

[@cmcd082]

This build is turning out fantastic, great job!

[@t.l.robinson2162]

That frame looks amazing!

[@f.stopperrmedia1606]

wheels and tires are perfect! Diff cover in purple with black fins!

[@144Trooper]

Do the diff cover black w/purple accents lettering etc. Chop the frame for a C10 short wheelbase Duramax conversion!! You money my dreams😅

[@codysiegrist3355]

When you dropped that upper arm, I felt the same frustration as it was myself lol

[@xaviermartinez6642]

I think it looks sick the way it is, definitely banks on the diff cover , maybe purple and black. Nice job Josh!

[@sebastianroth5289]

Banks rear diff cover, perfect amount of purple!

[@mathewchutko5487]

If it were me i would go with ppe rear diff cover but it's honestly not to much purple the frame looks good and Did you do a dpf back exhaust on your l5p ?

[@danh3718]

The frame looks amazing, and amount of purple not overdone in my opinion. White Banks diff cover, with purple fins

[@bigal9808]

Looks fantastic my man! Am I the only one who saw the front calipers going on the wrong side?

[@TruckMaster]

Your right I was backwards in that clip 😂

[@caleblevasseur2657]

I would do the banks diff cover purple with the black fin tips. I myself wouldn't do a dump bed because I think it'd ruin it. also, for shows, I would get 22 chromies. the last ti.e you put chromes on it, it looked really good for that purpose. my big thing is that I wish I had a garage to do this in with my truck. sadly it's not a diesel. it's a 1500 silverado.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Caleb 👍

[@TJSmith-rx1jt]

I personally like the black rims more then chrome so I would stick with the black rims with meaty mud tires. Love the purple keep up the good work can’t wait to see it done!

[@oneninemx8266]

Id keep the diff cover black and Id say no to the dump bed. The black rims look awesome! Definitely not to much purple, looks like the perfect amount! Wicked wicked build.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@chrisp9926]

Hey Josh. Did you forget the leaf spring pads? I believe they would go in the factory holes at end of the leaf springs ?? Not an expert but it might save the powder coating. Great work on the restoration and keep the awesome content coming !!!!

[@TruckMaster]

They are ordered 👍

[@stevenbader636]

Amazing! Everything is killer! I’ve been looking into the banks rear diff cover for mine. Everyone has their own opinions though. You know what’s best for you. Can’t wait to see it finished

[@jasenshore3586]

Stay with the black rims looks sharp

[@shaunagiles9465]

Those anthems are perfect, and banks hydrodynamics in their diff are the best .

[@haskellburks]

Hello Josh and Melanie. Well I can't wait to see the completed Wifemax video.

[@sinister_l5p_dmax]

Looks amazing so far Josh! The wife is going to love it! Great job!

[@dancerro4708]

Black rear diff would look sweet; kinda tie the frame in. Square body for the old frame would be sweet too

[@brianstauffer7269]

Hay Josh I loved the attention to detail. Good job 👏 Just a quick tip here. Before you go with PPE for a diff cover you should watch that video of gale banks diff covers.

[@TruckMaster]

I also did a video on the banks cover 👍

[@brianstauffer7269]

Ok sorry I didn't realize.

[@Yippa391]

Looks bang on. Banks for the win. Legend Please no dump bed

[@pineyman13]

Looks Great No Dump Bed

[@mikem2915]

Dang you're making me want to do this to my LMM. If I had a lift I would for sure during the winter when I'm not using it to go camp.

[@davestewart9146]

Josh stick with the black and purple theme, looks awesome 👍😁

[@jedhancock5611]

Josh, purple with the black fins would rock! Love the color, really love the 1000 horse. I have 4 kids they are what makes the world go round! She is a sweetheart, daddy's girl. Ok earl no dump bed 😀

[@TruckMaster]

👍

[@jP-lu5kl]

It's your wife's truck right? She's made it pretty clear several times that she doesn't want chrome wheels. Keep the black and have the milled spots powdered purple

[@connorkuester1266]

You should put some brushed American forces on it

[@Justin-qb5qc]

Banks diff cover is the way to go!

[@johnkozero6842]

80s standard cab 8 ft bed would be a great build. Your truck build looks great 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯

[@micahlyons6216]

I think black banks diff and purple fins would be perfect

[@batman66ism]

Earl. You and your channel are Amazing. Such Knowledge.

[@evanch123456]

That's incredible it looks so good!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks!

[@urbanmechanic9254]

I hope you clear coated some of the raw parts so it stays nice for a long time

[@adamhartman4312]

I would do purple with chrome fins on the diff cover

[@TruckMaster]

That would look sweet

[@AlejandroGonzalez-kt7th]

No dump bed. On the diff cover go with banks and do the illusion purple and brushed on the fins for contrast. Keep up the good work.

[@Trumptrain2024Vance]

Man that's some serious dedication! Looks great!!!!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@Elhafeez0]

Thanks for watching and showing love you have been among our shortlisted winners message me for more information...........................

[@henrybrundage7186]

Melanie will have the best truck on the channel! Purple illusion on the diff cover,stay with the theme!

[@mj.springhill]

Defenetly waiting for squarebody w/ duramax that would be great!

[@GarageWorx]

Frame looks darn nice.

[@classyjeremygaming]

1960s to 80s k20 jpsh would be sick

[@genedavis759]

Go Banks on diff cover and any other parts you can. He's deffinately the man on research and development for safely and actually improving performance in Diesel engines.

[@thomasmiller5722]

Your blast and powder work is so old school ya need to come into the new age

[@ChevyLivin710]

That frame idea..💡 please do a c10! I've always wanted to do any 1950s to 1972 c10 swap onto a NBS chevy frame and put it to work!

[@huskyls4709]

Great content! Keep it up 👍🏻

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks 🙏

[@tythomas1991]

I like the black wheels and the black cover against the purple axle

[@Brubaker007]

a dump bed with all the components powder coated would be unique and cool

[@Elhafeez0]

Thanks for watching and showing love you have been among our shortlisted winners message me for more information...........................

[@thetexasoutlaw1415]

Black banks diff cover with illusion violet fins would look great!

[@vernejohnson8589]

NO, don't change anything your doing an awesome job, I love the colors, stay with what you're doing, it looks fantastic 😊

[@frankfagundes779]

that frame looks bad ass and not over done

[@tailormadecustoms128]

Add purple to the polished faces on the black wheels.

[@Problem_child7.3]

Damn I’m so excited to see this finished it looks amazing

[@Elhafeez0]

Thanks for watching and showing love you have been among our shortlisted winners message me for more information.............

[@christophermitchell8986]

8:49 the man reads the comments and used my suggestion.

[@FightinAggieFarmer]

Banks covers in purple with the fins machined. Will go with the wheels

[@TopLineRacer]

Dang brother! Everything looks great!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks 🙏

[@akathecanadian]

Hey at 12:20 you put the left brake caliper on the right front. Make sure you change that over!!!!

[@TruckMaster]

I already did 😂 good eye though

[@mattchewynichols5217]

looking good Josh!!! Melanie is gunna aprove 😉

[@gershomtolmachev325]

You should definitely add white like the diff cover and other parts

[@huntercox2644]

I think a square body suburban would come pretty dang close to fitting the old frame I think it’d be sweet you make a sleeper out it if you went that route and I say no dump bed also and it needs some forged wheels for sure with some mud tires the anthem wheels are a good looking wheel but just look to cheap for the build your going for since they are a cast wheel just my opinion

[@Braxtonrush13]

heck yea man i have a lb7 im in the process of doing but it’s totaled as of the moment

[@Shakira_6.0]

Illusion violet with chrome fins for the diff cover. No dump bed

[@markgarr8815]

If I see you at a show, look forward seeing the “nick” on the upper right control arm HaHa Frame looks GREAT!

[@TruckMaster]

😂

[@robp418]

Purple with black fins on a banks diff cover would look sick, wouldn’t do white or a dump bed.

[@TeamTopKick]

Could do a 4 door C10 build. They are highly sought after. Go crazy and do a six door. Seen a few of those too.

[@UnhappyDuramax]

Sent it on the tractor pullin the rear end out the Denali lol

[@chadkirby5438]

Looks amazing‼️🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@richardanthony3788]

frame looks awesome! black with purple fins and build a big 80s GMC tough looking square body on that other frame build it to handle truck pulls step by step content

[@robertopalia1765]

wow looks awesome black cover

[@jamesostwald4383]

If you're keeping the rims on that are on it now, a black finned cover with the edges of the fins bare. The diff cover would match the rims.

[@sg255010]

Bro when you dropped that upper control arm 😂😂😂😂😂 man been there 🥴 way to hold it together, I might have thrown it across the room.....the hammer 🙂 Banks for the rear diff cover with the purple accent 👌

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks 🙏

[@GreatnessVibes]

I wish I could get my 3gen 4runner done like this. Wow

[@leelu5758]

Beautiful. Not to much. Perfect combo.

[@lbeliel4128]

Looks fantastic!!!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@dtoshredneck]

Can only speak about 1/2 tons here, a regular cab long box square body fits on an extended cab regular box nbs frame, the cab mounts will need to be fabbed. It's alot of fiddling around but can be done. Also a nbs dash fits in a square body

[@eastonwest]

Do the black diff cover not white but I love the black and purple frame and stuff

[@tracyshrable4224]

I like the black anthem wheels. PPE diff cover. Purple with white fins.

[@mattheintzelman4147]

Truck is so awesome! But I vote no dump bed

[@gaugemcvea1554]

Looks awesome 👍

[@brettdonati]

Something with you, a dump bed, and 2 turbos 😂😂😂

[@Elhafeez0]

Thanks for watching and showing love you have been among our shortlisted winners message me for more information...........................

[@kevinbosley1259]

Banks diff cover for sure

[@ColeReadman]

I'm hoping to do this exact thing to a 79 k10 build. Roughly how much did a sandblast/powdercoat like this cost?

[@TruckMaster]

The frame alone with wheels, rear and suspension I’d say around 10k maybe more also powdercoat

[@Tips4LifeGuy]

Josh, set your parking break when loading your trailer. No need to risk damaging your Allison.

[@TruckMaster]

I did though 😂

[@Tips4LifeGuy]

@@TruckMaster how do I report the message below this one or can you get them blocked? I appreciate your context and this bum isn't helping. This is twice they've done this to me.

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

@@Tips4LifeGuy scumbags everywhere today.

[@hindsight57]

Go purple with white fins or white with purple fins. Throw some contrast on the bottom eye-line. Truck is gonna look AWESOME!!!!!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks 🙏

[@carltrano1325]

Banks cover, purple black fins . No dump bed , it would make the build Cheesy in my opinion.
