Turning a Neglected Squarebody C20 Into the Ultimate Hot Rod Service Truck! Will It Do Burnouts? Pt1

[@kevinrichards3288]

It's great to see one of those 1981 - 1982 square bodies with the single headlamps again because they're super rare nowadays.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

You definitely don’t see them very often, but I love how tough they look!

[@kevinrichards3288]

@@SallysSpeedShop but I do still see some of the 1985 - 1987 ones with the dual headlamps on the roads. Believe it or not, the last time I saw one of those 1981 - 1982 ones with the single headlamps on the road was 16 years ago. Wow!

[@kevinrichards3288]

@@SallysSpeedShop those square body models were produced from 1973 through 1991, except for the regular cab pickups like that red three quarter ton one there. The half ton & three quarter ton ones were discontinued in 1987, & the one ton ones were discontinued in 1989. In 1987, the C/K series were dropped on all of the models & renamed R/V series to make a distinction between them & the new upcoming OBS pickups for the 1988 model year because both of those body designs were gonna be in production at the same time which lasted up through 1991. The OBSs were the new C/K series.

[@kevinrichards3288]

@@SallysSpeedShop those square body pickups are the third generation C/K series pickups, the square body Suburbans are the seventh generation Suburbans, & the square body K5 Blazers & Jimmys are the second generation K5 Blazers & Jimmys. The OBS pickups are the fourth generation C/K series pickups. What's interesting is the one ton regular cab pickups were the only models with both the square body & OBS body designs produced at the same time which was from 1988 - 1989.

Love the look of that rambler reminds me of the cortina over here n the UK shame I can't get one would be amazing to own one

[@SallysSpeedShop]

They’re great little cars!

[@jayh4185]

What a great truck, I saw it on power tour and it's one of my favorite trucks. 👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thank you Jay!

[@johnburcks7390]

I love when these trucks are still used as a work truck! I’m also liking those H2 wheels.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

That bed definitely would make a great trailer body.

[@cobyfield9237]

Eyyyy I'm doing an LS '81-'82 C20 too! Factory RHD assembled in Australia, has a Holden body ID tag! They're such good trucks aren't they, nice and simple. Don't mind the comments about the time delay, absolutely spot on to focus on the truck not videos for power tour, it was a polished unit during the tour it seems. Super cool vibe you've got, hope you keep it up :) Cheers from Victoria, Australia.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

That’s awesome! I didn’t know they ever put a Holden ID tag on them. They really are great trucks! Thanks man! I appreciate it 👍🏼

[@shanethompson7543]

Nice Granny 👵 Burnout!!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I'd never done an idling burnout before haha

[@davidrice313]

I got to see it in person on the Power Tour. It's cool to be able follow the build along now.

[@johnsarian_cu]

Yep. About any of Detroit's 6s are bulletproof in my experience. My first truck was a 64 Chevy with a 250 that would piston slap until she got fully warm. A smoker. Always started. Same with a Ford 300. Could almost blow on the key and she'd fire. Knowing what that service bed looked like on Power Tour I'm looking forward to see how much work it took to get it cleaned up , painted, and ready.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

They’re definitely tough engines! Thanks for watching!

[@Gmurphy84]

Saw the el Camino in Senoia today. Awesome looking car!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

[@EJJ123]

love those old Chevys with the service beds on them never seen one I didn't like the looks of

[@SallysSpeedShop]

They’re tough to beat! That’s for sure!

[@RearEngineShop]

Love it man! 🔥

[@Callsign_Fredrick877]

if ya have the original hummer caps get some 5 lug chev dog dish truck hubcaps and do some jb weld jerry rigging to make them work

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I ended up ordering some adapter lug nuts to run center caps off of a 2500 Chevy rather than the ugly H2 center caps.

[@colinshrom3704]

I was so excited for this build as I have recently acquired a red c20! It’s watching this because of how similar are trucks are (sm465 no radio cracked dash pad ect) anyway I’m waiting on qa1 for some suspension too!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Awesome man! Maybe you’ll be able to get some ideas for yours from this video 👍🏼

Great video. As always. Good lookin truck. That shop really came together.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks Trent!

[@trentmoseley]

@@SallysSpeedShop yessir. I'm slowly getting into Chevys. Always been a Ford guy. The wife likes Chevys. I've only had a couple so far but I don't hate them. I do hate the 4L60E though. I like standards but she refuses so.

[@tokslut]

just weld a lever on the carriage bolt head and you can get the bolt loose on the underside

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Cool 😎😊 nice work 😊

Thank you!

[@jasonearp8720]

This is going to interesting to follow. I have a 1977 square body short bed C10 with the same power train so I want to see some of the conversions and upgrades done to this C20.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

The good stuff is just starting 👍🏼

[@seriousrampage]

My buddy had a Hornet just like that one but in the copper orange color. I was sad when he sold it but he didn't want to deal with the massive transmission leak.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

They’re cool little cars! Bummer he sold it…

[@Twostallgarage]

I wish I had caught up with you in Atlanta to chat. I kept crossing paths during power tour. Thanks for sharing the video. Truck looks great.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Ah man, bummer I missed you! Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@briandetrick2688]

not happy about the LS cause everyone has done it in everything. but the truck it's self is gonna be awsome

[@SallysSpeedShop]

It’s hard to compete with the reliability, efficiency, and power you get out of them hence why they’re so popular. Would it help if I told you we found the engine that went into it in a ditch on the side of the interstate? 😅

[@Thegreatmryoshi]

good video. but you have to set up something that muffles the sound in the garage when you talk, or muffle it in the editing program. almost feels like you're screaming

[@timdavis_365]

It does have some echo but it looks so cool. 😀

[@bryco32]

Power tour 2023?

[@SallysSpeedShop]

It was for this years tour, I just haven’t had time to edit the videos yet. It’s hard to build a truck in under two months and produce videos at the same time apparently 😅

[@jakeschneider5491]

Was that the original engine?

[@shawndennis1248]

Hopefully you did not scrap the bed they are getting harder to find I'm still on the look out for one

I sold it to a guy who needed one for his truck after a wreck. Not sure if I filmed it or not though
