[@ag_trucks]

Wow, thank you very much! Haha, I'm super glad you're enjoying the build! My dad sure does deserve lots of credit! Lots more content to come for you👍👍

[@mchalky6133]

Absolutely loving this build. I like the mesh but paint it black.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you!! That's what I'm thinking! I definitely won't leave it bare👍

[@rbarkdog]

Yep!! Outstanding!! simple yet on point!

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you! I really like it so far and it will only look better with paint!

[@user-do2wn7hi8m]

wow truck is coming along great! it sweet and clean and custom.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much! Im digging it so far👍

[@maliiiwa]

The mesh is cool. The front looks proper, bet it'll be even better when you get the lights and stuff thrown together.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you! I think it will all tie in together very well once it's all done!

[@nobodymporta]

Sir ... the wolf ..behind u ..on guard... is crazier than the wild ass grill ... 😱👏👏👏🫡

That’s what’s up young man, It definitely shows you have a passion and a love what you do. Your truck looks amazing.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much! I certainly do love the build and sharing it with you guys!

[@billybike57]

Looking forward to Sundays now!👍🏼

[@ag_trucks]

Awesome! Same here, will be great to share the progress weekly!

[@p9raceway759]

Love the build !

[@ag_trucks]

Thank-you! Glad you're enjoying 👌

[@chadpoche3478]

One of the best build's I have ever seen in my 27 years in this business, especially with what you started with and the thinking on the fly with what you had to work with to get the job done right. You definitely have a gift and love what your doing, stick with it through the years and keep the passion you have, I'm currently working on a 70 Chevy C10 stock short bed in pretty good shape, I'd like to get with you and chat about what parts you are thinking of selling such as the front spoiler and whatever else you've considered selling and I'm always up for sharing knowledge to the younger generation as well as learning from you and your generation. I believe your never too your or old to learn regaurdles of age. Can't wait to see how hard that truck launches.

[@ag_trucks]

Wow, that is an amazing compliment! Thank you very much👌👍 absolutely, no one is ever to old to learn! I still have lots of learning to do and plan on doing so with you guys on the channel! I also plan on selling more parts and even blueprints of my chassis once I get further along! Can't wait to share the first drive and launch, it will be epic!

[@jayretro510]

I think the mesh should be I scooped from the front over the marker light instead of flare behind the grill inlets Even with the front of the grill inlets or double mesh front and back 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooooo!!! Alec, you are almost at 20k bro!!!! Hard work and dedication paying off!! Love the build as always. Love the mesh and I seen a comment about painting it bronze, I love white and bronze color combo so that could look sick. I think itd be cool to have a small light that you could mount discreetly behind the grill to give the grill a little backlight at night whenever you hit the a switch. Excited for the weekly uploads bro!! Im almost at 10k subs and your sooo close to 20k... Go get it bro!!💪🏻🤘🏻

[@ag_trucks]

Yooo thanks dusty! We're both so close! Won't be long to reach our goals!👌 great idea with the lights too, May have to try that!

[@patrickchristie82]

Love it man. The mesh looks sick. I want to do similar.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank-you!! Awesome, definitely easy to do and it makes it look custom👍

[@rustyridesgarage672]

Put two square LED spotlight boxes above the blinkers signals to fill in the other gap😮😮

[@ag_trucks]

That's actually not a bad plan! Thanks👍👍

[@ritchardposterior262]

as far as the grill insert color, thats dependent on the color scheme of the truck. I personally like the idea of Bronze/age copper.

[@ag_trucks]

Yes copper would look awesome! Black may be better for the scheme of this truck. We'll see when the time comes👍

[@PEDR0SKI]

Shave the wiper holes and vents on the cowl for a real smooth look. Plus it will give some protection from debris getting under the cowl.

[@ag_trucks]

I don't mind that look but I love the vent even though you are correct, it would protect it from the elements. Never know, I may just shave it👍

[@PEDR0SKI]

@ag_trucks definitely looks good as is,just an idea.

[@lg8702]

An amazing build Alec! And your videos and narrations are super well done also! 😍🤩

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you so much! I try to make it as clear as I can! Very much appreciated😁 more videos to come👍

[@codymartin6704]

Great video Alec

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you Cody! Appreciate it👍

[@stormbreakerram9526]

Amazing work!!! Keep it up

[@HogshooterHotrods]

I like the idea of the mesh, but the hexagon shape you had would be the best look in my opinion. Love the build and how you have made it all come together!

[@ag_trucks]

Hexagon would look good no doubt! Once I get some paint on it I think it will be a lot better and won't stand out as much. Thank you very much! Can't wait to show you some more progress 🤙

[@srtautoworkz]

Looks killer! We'll done

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much 👌👌

[@____MC____]

The mesh will b look great. Id paint match it or do white black or dark gray. Something id do after its all painted.

[@ag_trucks]

I'm going to try black and see how that looks👍👍 thank you!

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

Dude this build is sick. If you were in the US you could definitely submit this to sema’s battle of builders.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you man! That would be incredible! Hopefully the truck gets to go to Sema 2024🤞

[@thombass89]

First time that I saw you channel! Amazing journey! Awesome job! Congratulations!!! Go ahead! P.S: From Brazil!

[@ag_trucks]

Hello! Thank you very much! Welcome to the build👍

[@juniorwhelchel6337]

Enjoy watching your videos and btw I love the grill

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much! Just put up a new video👍

[@RodzOfAges]

Mesh looks killer !

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much!

[@5wenPoultry]

keep up the good work.. the mesh turned out amazing paint it black 🫰🏻

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much! I'm thinking black as well so we'll see hoe it looks👌

[@russellbelliveau1694]

The mesh looks great! Making content is as much work as the actual build eh, looking forward to Sunday videos. Excellent work.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you! There is definitely more hours recording and editing than actual truck building lol.

[@rogerdelillo2394]

I think some recessed fog lamps recessed in front lower roll pan

[@rogerdelillo2394]

Way to g o man!

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you very much👍👍

amazing

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you!!

[@Scott-jk8gb]

Looks good

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you Scott👍👍

[@DiospyrosTexana]

Like you recommended, I too highly recommend people watch the entire build thread if not already done so.

[@ag_trucks]

Appreciate that man!👍 lots more to come!

[@onepersoncanequalmanyvoice3184]

I like the mesh idea it looks clean. Where did you get the ball ping hammer that you used.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank-you! The hammer is a snap on! One of the only snap on tool that I own lol

[@kevant6394]

1ve got a similar build going 68 gmc c10 with s10 frame on air 4link with twin turbo lq4 6.0 running holley terminator max would be cool to meet up when they are rollin

[@franklyescala934]

Imagine if this make it to sema😮

[@ag_trucks]

Would be amazing! Hopefully 2024🤞👌

[@tricountykustomz]

cant wait to see it done. see it terrorizing the streets down this way. thanks for the advice on the channels. while mine are not the same quality as your videos. i am getting better with them.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you man! Will be fun to rip around when it's done! Keep going with the uploads, takes time to build a channel!

[@tricountykustomz]

That's the plan... looking at a different camera now and some kind of microphone to go with it. Rather then using just my phone

[@user-do2wn7hi8m]

👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you!!!

[@JuanValentine]

I actually really like how it looks bare aluminum. Painting it black is going to be hard to see once everything else is painted.

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you! It looks good already for sure, I'll try it with paint and decide from there👍

[@edcadlick2650]

Why do they make cars😆👍

[@jaynay2459]

The mesh would look best painted. The silver mesh is a bit ‘fast and the furious’ looking. A build of this quality needs to be finished classy!! Love your work mate

[@ag_trucks]

Yes I completely agree! Will be painting it and it should be much better. Thank you man! Stay tuned to see the final product 👍👍

[@rogerdelillo2394]

Hey Man! What about different ideas for your badges....for your SS liking go SS/T...for Super Sport Turbocharged .....or spell "Super Sport /TT " FOR Twin Turbo....just some ideas Remember theres a company that can make all of this , "Billet Badges" i believe, and no im not affiliated with them.

[@ag_trucks]

That's some great ideas! I will definitely be getting some sort of badge for the grill! Once everything is painted, I'll try out some ideas! Thank you very much👍

[@ryefry]

Don't you worry about bugs and dirt when you spray outside? It's there any issues with aluminum and steel touching for rust issues? I know mixing metals can be an issue later.

[@ag_trucks]

No bugs this time of year! Calm day, so not too worried for dirt. It all has to get sanded again anyway since it's high build primer. The aluminum and steel will have paint separating it👍

[@ryefry]

@@ag_trucks cool! I'm enjoying the build!

[@JustinPaul1st]

The stainless mesh behind the grill looks ok whether you painting it over or not...aqctually its mediocre considering the amount of custom work this truck has been through...My opinion a custom made grill using original frame but maybe a massive centre bowtie and the two orange indicators placed midway top to bottom... and maybe 3D make white lenses and have them switch over orange for indicators and white for parks depends on your local laws ...to compliment the new headlamps you gonna put in there ... Two massive intake ports for the turbos can be intergrated into the lower cowl or slampanel as some would call them

[@ag_trucks]

I totally see where you're coming from! I'm going to try out the mesh with some paint and if I don't like it I might just try what you have in mind!👌👍

[@rogerdelillo2394]

Paint it a dark bronze

[@LongRon6969]

What’s the wheel & tire setup? I want something similar for an 85 box Chevy

[@ag_trucks]

Wheels are 15x10 aero in the rear with 325/50r15 nitto nt555r2 tires and up front it's vision D window 16x8 rims with 265/50r16 toyo proxes r888r

[@elijahgutierrez5739]

I’ve been wondering, did you change the track width on the custom frame? Or is it just wider wheels?

[@ag_trucks]

Width is all different to adapt the crown vic front end and the wheels are wider as well. Far from original haha

[@elijahgutierrez5739]

@@ag_trucks so more than likely, replicating what you’ve done with the flares is not possible with a stock frame?

[@ag_trucks]

Truck is quite a bit lower than what a stock chassis would be. I won't say it's impossible but it would require major modifications

[@ag_trucks]

The wheel openings have been raised a few inches as well

[@elijahgutierrez5739]

@@ag_trucks thanks for the info. By the way, you are doing a kick ass job with the project! I can’t wait to see the finished truck, I think your channel is going to blow up afterwards.

[@ARVIthereyet]

Actually I do not like the mesh. It looks kinda cheap. Instead put there some black ribs or something like that. Anyway keep it going and waiting for the next video 👌🙏

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Credit to you for me would had a little more bed thus little more wb or it just look shorter than stock

[@ag_trucks]

Thank you! Wheelbase is a little shorter now but I'm happy with it! We'll see how it performs🤙

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

@@ag_trucks what is the wheel base??

[@ag_trucks]

111" compared to factory 113"

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

@@ag_trucks why did you cut out 3in ??

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

@@ag_trucks sorry 2in

[@monke4632]

I think a honeycomb type of material instead of the mesh would complete the build, the mesh just looks cheap in my opinion.

[@ag_trucks]

I see where you're coming from, it doesn't look the best while it's bare aluminum. I'll see how it looks once it's painted and decide from there👍

[@monke4632]

@@ag_trucks Cant wait! This is easily my favorite C10 build

[@ChevyS10LSUK]

Paint it black.

It would definitely look good! But I already have a black C10 so I would like to change it up!
