[@billyhaddock5540]

Great Job Steve, on getting Elizabeth her Jonny Cash 86 Dually Truck running and driving down the road. cool truck..

[@cbmsysmobile]

Awww. How can anyone abandon such a cute little cat.

[@chrisjackson9978]

Great to see the progress on Elizabeth's truck.

[@davidmcduffie1398]

Johnny Cash is looking good and will look even better when you drop it down some ! You and Elisabeth are doing a fine job bringing Johnny Cash back to life ! ! !

[@0xFEEDC0DE]

Bench seats so you can have an arm around your best passenger! Cake should write a song about that!

[@LostAgain1970]

That truck is gonna look so mean when it's lowered and done. I love the look of it! It's simply cool. 😎✌

[@kaydog2008]

Steve can't wait to see you two at a pickup truck show someday soon with both trucks. Congrates Elisabeth drive her like you stole it girl.👍👍and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐To Steve.

[@dennisdelpiero7615]

Great job, as usual, Elizabeth and Steve. Love this family project for the family truck. Thanks for sharing your passions

[@stan525]

tip for you. I had one of those back in the late 80s had trouble with seeing out of side mirrors, we lengthened the tubing to the mirrors and after adjustment I pinned the tubes at the clamp with 1/8th roll pin so they would not rotate out of position but if hit the roll pin snaps and is easy to replace. good content and delivery style

[@jamesboris1233]

Building Johnny Cashgreat looks great, Elizabeth I on you are going to be happy when It''s done.

[@elmarqo_3448]

Johnny Cash's new wheels and tire look great. I can't wait to see it lowered.

[@davidm1a2]

Really wish you had done more videos on this truck with the swap and wiring. I know there is a bunch of videos of that on KZbin but they just aren't Steve and Elizabeth. Beautiful job and congratulations. Love both of your trucks.

[@linwoodmachine4155]

Another fine job Steve, Elizabeth will be a happy lady driving that truck, I'm sure the interior will look just a good. The gladiator spikes on the wheels is a bold look. That Cora is sweet pup, she fell into a bucket of roses when she landed in your yard, and good on you for taking here in.

[@watershedwonders1744]

Good to see it running amd stopimg on the road.

[@Ron_EZ]

Cora being an excellent Supervisor

[@thetrevor861]

Interesting 'addition' to the front wheel hub. Expecting challenges at the local mall ? I think you will win ! Fantastic job, well done.

[@haroldphipps3457]

They are plastic, and actually pretty dull on the points.

[@rebeccashulenburg9842]

You have done a very good job. Something to be proud of.

[@larissamonroe21092]

You are most welcome on the Lights, wow the old one just barely touch it was ... fragile is an understatement....wow...you sneeze on it it would have dissolved. And they look so pretty lit up! And the Tank too! WOO WOO! It fits, and can be modified...that is always I good thing, non modifiable things, kinda suck. God those window switches are needed in that interior....you need to roll up if there is a rain storm comming or snow later on this year for you guys! And I hope the shift linkages will help too...I didnt know what those really do, but I said to him to get them! LOL.

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for the update.

[@josephrogers9701]

Good job on the truck and re-homing the little kitty! We live in an area with uncontrolled feral cats too. We have three that adopted us! Word to the wise though is to get her spayed to prevent any extra little lives down the road!

[@robertmccracken72]

Wheel nut spikes are a real trigger!!! I love them... You have made a pretty nice old truck. I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for doing what you do!

[@dlstanf2]

You've got some talent, Steve Summers. Also, a good woman behind you. A combination that's goes a long way. 🙏 ❤

[@joe74ta1]

The truck looks grate the wheels are my cup of tea but as you said its your truck and as long as it makes you smile when you look at it each day thats the main thing👍

[@thunderstruck1078]

Saturday mornings over here in Europe are just not the same without your upload. Love the way you present things, the resourcefulness, the perseverance, the knowledge...

[@stephenmorgan8510]

Looks and sounds great.

[@izzynutz2000]

Guys did a great job on that truck both trucks is a matter of fact I sure do enjoy spending time at your shop Steve, thanks for letting us hang around I so miss having a garage working on cars and my machine shop and one guy brings his Harley knucklehead over to have some work done on it and next thing you know you got 30 people in your driveway on a Friday night just hanging out partying and having a good time sometimes we barbecuing even the cops would come by and have a plate of food or two and hang out, chief of police always love my BBQ such great memories

[@mechanicmike2858]

thats a great looking truck !! not a big fan on the wheels but if yall like it well thats just fine .. cant wait for the grand finale !!! i have always loved a square body pickup !!

[@CFullm]

I’d love to see a video of y’all rebuilding the front seat.

[@PhilGoldblum]

Well Done Steve! Thanks for the video.

[@phillipjones3342]

This is a fantastic build for your wife I'm so glad that she likes it as much as you do working on it thanks for everybody who helps you

[@patrickmazzone9066]

Thanks!

[@SteveSummers]

Thank you so much for the support. We really appreciate it

[@sevilnatas]

The cat and the dog are sort of a matching set.

[@stevebeavers3754]

Great job, enjoyed the tips as well.

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed….super work/craftsmanship

[@jobos98]

Great Job u 2 did on it. Looks Great.... Priceless machine now.

[@HEADDYNAMICS]

No A/C, I remember a story about a local farmer near me. Back in the day he bought one of the first tractors with A/C and when he brought it home his wife noticed it and her tractor didn't have A/C so she took a hammer and broke ever single window out in his new tractor so neither one of them had A/C. Moral of the Story Steve, watch your windows. ;) Have a great week everyone.

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good video steve and elizabeth

[@GrandsonofKong]

Great job!! Your work quality is top notch! I liked your comment about the wheels being like shoes, like them or you don't. Not my style but then it's not my truck either! 😏

[@ffemtdd]

Congratulations Elizabeth!!! What a wonderful labor of love Steve has given you. I can see in your face that you truly enjoy having it!!

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing. Very nice build.👍

[@bucklinoutdoorpowerequipme3846]

Now you need instead of a buzzer. A voice that says "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash"

[@tobiasbostwick9002]

Nice, nice, nice, love it and well done. Watch those drive-throughs! 😆 Squeeze-through!

[@afnDavid]

Nice rims, rubber and lug bolts!

[@joannepeterson2631]

Ruined everything for me the rims and spikes hideous

[@paulsullivan6392]

Great job my friend. Also great tips for those considering an engine swap. Thanks for ringing us along on this journey. I am looking forward to the rest of the upcoming improvements.

[@gabewhisen3446]

Like a new motor those wheels 🤩

[@williamhouk6880]

Watching you bench bleed, I've used copper tubing for bleeding purposes, it's just much easier to work with for that process. Also, I've switched over to DOT 5 FLUID in my trucks I'm keeping. It's synthetic and draws no moisture to cause RUST internally to the Master cylinder, brake lines, or wheel cylinders no matter how many years it sets. Cost a little more, but well worth the investment.

[@jsteifel]

avoid potholes with those low profiles. I didn't hit a pothole at night that I couldn't see, cost me 2 tires, bubbled them badly... Keep them high on pressure to avoid them hitting the rim. Looking good. You guys have been super busy.

[@VanFlausch]

Nice Truck!

[@ronwhite6719]

Wow, you and Elizabeth have been busy. Johnny Cash is looking really nice. Love the sound of that smooth LS.

[@kitmaira]

I like the wheels, the spikes, not so much. I’m sure that AC will be on your list soon. I’m just across the border in Tennessee, and it makes life worth living.

[@goptools]

Hi Steve. That is such a sweet truck! Love the look of the square bodies. Swapping in the LS & 4L80 should make it much more reliable than the original big block and TH400. The LS will sip the fuel too, compared to the big block. Plenty of room for the family and lots of towing capacity!

[@tbirdracefan]

Coming together nicely! Personally not a fan of the worn out pant job look, but I do under stand that some people like it. Also know that you and Elizabeth are anxious to some proof of concept driving around. Maybe a simple paint job over the winter?

[@seansysig]

Really coming along.

[@steveholbrook4729]

Shop dog turned out very well

[@robertschauer376]

Exciting to get it to a drive-able state! Nice work

[@nathanweese3812]

Another great build, Steve. Hope you guys have alot of fun with that.

[@yambo59]

Hi Cora-! Love those brown eyes, shes a geat little companion / helper.

[@skitzochik]

I met Glenn Danzig at one of their shows...love your tshirt Steve

[@bradpage8967]

Great job on this truck!! Loved seeing this be put together!! You made me laugh at the seat location when you went for your first drive. I am 6’3” and I experience that every time someone drives my vehicle!🤣 Hard to believe that you replaced the dash when the old one was hardly showing any wear!😉😁

[@etjason1]

I love patches.

[@cullendolan5619]

Cora is so funny. Always hanging out and supervising. She's a great shop dog

[@marcellemay7721]

Fun project! In my mind it's so much more fun to build a project out of a bunch of mostly "junkyard" parts. Your not so concerned about everything being perfect. You make it function to your liking, and "let it ride". A little scratch or ding here and there just gives it character. 😎

[@MrYAMAHA32177]

Nice work@!

[@1320pass]

Looking great Steve and Liz! Big time thumbs up to Rick for the interior handiwork. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the completed interior, and truck for that matter. Awesome 👌

[@Hoaxer51]

This is a nice looking truck, I would have liked to see more detail to the build but it’s done now. I really like the way it sits as it is especially for hauling and towing but it’s your truck and you always seem to come up with the nicest truck, besides if it doesn’t work out you can always put it back to what it was. Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing the interior done.

[@runout57]

I would have though that air conditioning would have been top priority. Nice job thus far.

[@sparkybell11]

Good progress, please paint the truck it deserves it

[@kevinthomas895]

This truck has come a long way. I like the shine of those wheels, but I have a preference for more sidewall on the tires.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Agree 💯 %

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Just a tip. These new fandangle ignition switches don't like all that stuff , other keys etc hanging from them. It will give you many more years of service by lighting up the weight hanging from them. A truck key, house key is all that should be there. The rest can stay on a seperate key and fob eh.

[@wmweekendwarrior1166]

Good stuff

[@jiminsequim3218]

Awesome job, Elizabeth and Steve! 🙂

[@accuracymark]

Another excellent job buddy! Very practical approach to a fantastic result!

[@cranberrysmoothie1]

Nice Danzig shirt.

[@horstszibulski19]

Great job, love this thin rubbers on the chrome rims, but the spikes on the front ones are quite overdone...but you'll have to live with them. That thing is massive, love the big truck bed even with the crew cab, visiting a meeting or a festival would give you plenty of space to roll out a sleeping bag under the stars or even spend the night in the cab if it rains... 💕 Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

[@SirNomad]

Yeah but he screwed up the height so it's not like he can drive it on the dirt very well at all...totally pointless to lower something like this, unless the point you're trying to make is that you're not smart.

[@horstszibulski19]

@@SirNomad I don't think that this one is for driving on dirt...🕊

[@Uncleroger1225]

Happy Saturday to Steve, Elizabeth , Cora, Patches, and Grits! Great Job Steve making something wonderful from junk. Glad that you brought us along for the inspiration and example of what can be done with a bit of skill and ingenuity. God Bless.

[@rexmyers991]

You are the wizard of vehicle repair and restoration!

[@johnlee8231]

Glad to see ol Johnny up and running. Interior is looking good. Tailgate save is great. Now if only Elizabeth new someone who can do some paint work to that roof befoe it goes away?

[@patrickmazzone9066]

Eecellent job came out nice enjoy

[@musicbro8225]

As an assistant I would give Cora a 5/10... Attendance and moral support, 100%, that's all, hehe. But she never makes any mistakes :) Elizabeth will have to get some piercings to go with the wheel studs!

[@Bob_Adkins]

Or a sword and shield.

[@shephusted2714]

i'd just get rid of the tailgate - straps and a 2x6 are all you need - better gas mileage and less weight, add bags of sand in the winter - anothe good project finished - hope you can plan some good projects for fall and through the winter - keep on truckin'! you should get plenty of use out of this truck

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I subscribed. We have 5 k5 blazers. 73 k30 and 86 c30... we love our squarebody

[@johanneslaxell6641]

That is a nice truck in the making 👍🏼💪🏼😁! I have a sneaky suspicion about what our motor vehicle examinor (hope I got i right 🤭) would say about those wheel nuts: Sir, that truck is not moving ONE INCH before those "tools of Evil" are changed, they look deadly 🤔😤!

[@andrewwilliston5798]

Good morning Steve, I hope all is well with you and your family.

[@jimhunt5259]

tailgate is amazing!

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

Great lookin' project truck Steve. You and Elizabeth did a great job together. I do like the crew cab duallys!

[@bcbloc02]

That is a high spec interior! My truck has the magnetic headliner. Lol

[@joshuahill5316]

It looks awesome so glad that you guys got it done as far as you have.

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Looking awesome. I posted on the first video, I had coming up for a visit and a ride in Johnny Cash, but the newly found esophageal / stomach cancer has interrupted all of ole Bear's near & future plans. You and Elisabeth and Cora Keep on Keeping on, and the "83 will be still hauling the mail into the next decade (@@)! Bear in TX.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Good luck with your fight !!

[@optimisticskeptic3126]

Great project! I love your pragmatic we’ll thought out and robust approach to things. As you point out, the “easy button” often means choosing much lower quality and reliability than factory. I’m sure your deletion or delay of AC is also for good reasons, but here in Houston, it’s not AC, it’s the life support system.

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 Nice truck sure Elizabeth gonna enjoy it ,the placement of the MAF on the LS motor is quite fussy so if you get running issues just move the MAF closer or further away 😊

[@glennmoreland6457]

Great video Steve... ☹🇬🇧

[@daver681]

Looking good and this is a good series and keep up the good work, I personally don't like those wheels and lug nuts but that is just me

[@kenfrazier616]

looking good not my wheel choice but everyone to there own but nice looking ride, I know she will be doing her everyday arrands and enjoying it driving it

[@mkidd8806]

Project is coming together well❤ I agree with the paint and patina suggestions as others have mentioned. For the wheels and skinny rubber am not a fan. The lug nuts am not a fan. But it's Elizabeth and her Hubbies choice. Just remember Johnny Cash was the man in Black.😊

[@AirfixLtd]

Good morning Steve from Wales in the UK 😍

[@MrAvjones]

Those wheels with the spikes protruding reminds me of the chariots on Ben Hur.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Looks like we need to get a video every other week now. No problem as that tells us you are really busy taking care of more important things. This rad and fans are just a ticket to success with this build. I call these threaded inserts "rivnuts" No tool box should be without a selection of them. I have used them in blind holes badly threaded with a welded tap killer of a hole. So far so good. I have yet to have one fail. Good to see that your Elisabeth and Cora approves at your progress eh, LOL. I sure like the BLING you give your progresses/projects. I have the same brake fluid bench bleeders in my ? drawer in my main tool box that have a bunch of uses. Great keeper tools eh. Great to see another project from you done the right way. In the future any repairs (ANY) can be done using OEM supplies. Never can anyone tell it has been hacked away at eh.

[@haroldphipps3457]

You want to see Riv-nuts fail? Look at over the road semi's!! Lots of failures. Mainly from ham fisted, knuckle dragging, 1/2" impact carrying "mechanics".

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@haroldphipps3457 LOL, I know exactly what you mean. They are not threaded holes in 1/2 inch plate. Properly installed and used they are a great idea.

[@johnmccanntruth]

The truck is looking great. Hopefully you’ll have it back on the road shortly…

[@chesterfield7770]

Nice work and nice truck ! Good morning from Belgium .

[@leaflee2066]

I only noticed at 40:04 the front wheel nuts, Elizabeth will be like Boadicea in her chariot!
