Just want to say thanks to these guys I bought my first truck last month and now it's a street truck

[@txroper]

This video is well done, thoroughly explained and a great marketing deal... I have a 1985 K10... 4WD and I love street trucks too.

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

I bought my 94 Cheyenne last year. And within the last 8 months everyone has been getting into these trucks :o I get people asking to buy it all the time.

[@josecorrea1914]

Dude I have a 94 Silverado and people be asking to buy it as well lol

[@matthewhoover6154]

I just did some repairs on a 97 1500 with low mileage, blue. It had original paint, not faded, no scratches in bed. It was a beautiful truck and I'm not a truck fan, but I liked it.

[@HashMaster1776]

I got the EXACT same truck with a 5.7. Badass truck ;)

[@ferngalindez6438]

I really like the 18inch wheels cause it gives you the option of a thicker tire. In Philly the pot holes are rim killers.

[@jackpinnell3204]

Wow! Just found you guys and I'm impressed. Thank you for THIS video and look forward to more! The truck in this video is going to cloned in MY shop! Love the wheels/brake combo! Great job and great choices on equipment used!

[@rolandohernandez36]

I Was Already A Sweet Truck , But Now It Is Much Sweeter, Especially With The Torque Thrusters, I Always Liked The Thrusters , I Just Lowered My 03 Extended Cab , With Bell Tech Drop Shackles But Mine Also Has Overloaders, Cause I Sometimes Pull My Trailer , But Bell Tech Shackles Did The Job Looks Even And Not Jacked Up From The Back , Nice Video, Good Explanation Of Things , The Truck Looks Awesome Just Like It Is.

I love the GMT400 platform! I have a '91 C short wide and a '99 K suburban. I also have an '86 Sierra and I can 100% say that the GMT400 are stronger! I really dig my old square body but, I love my 400 trucks!

[@chrissmith724]

GREAT VIDEO! Would you be willing to share the actual backspacing of the wheels and explain how to roll the fender lips? Again, great video, good content, to the point, and edited where it needs to be to save time but then quick recap of what was done. (i.e. rear c-notch) TRUCK IS SPOT ON AND CLEAN!

[@AZProPerformance]

Thanks! The backspace can be found on our website as they are 1-piece off the shelf wheels. azproperformance.com/products/american-racing-vn215-torq-thrust-1-pc When we rolled the fenders, we just hit them in with a soft hammer (but firm enough to roll the metal). Just work them in. As a tip, DO NOT cut relief cuts in the lip. This will make a crease on the outside when you roll them.

Very nice video! I used to not buy into the whole pro detailing idea but I had it done once and now I won't ever not have that done to a project, The only thing I would do different on this build that you didn't do is Flat/Matte Black the hood. I'd also ,like to know what the cost breakdown and total cost is.

[@brianhess4777]

Awesome job 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@bubmcdaniel1911]

realy like this video.i have the same wheels on my 82 c10.when you guys dropped the truck did you have to change the pinion angle.

[@AZProPerformance]

Nope, we didn't adjust it all and was good to go.

[@Zelaznogsiul-63]

It looks real good. After doing this,can the truck be used as a truck or are you limited on how much weight can be loaded on the bed? And can you tow the same as before the modifications. I will like to do this to my 90 sierra but I want to know what to expect. Thank you and great video. God Bless.

[@AZProPerformance]

You can still haul stuff, but its limited due to the rear end travel. However, if you added helper bags, it should retain all factory payload and tow just fine. We didn;t add them since we never planned to tow with it (we have a F350 for that).

[@Zelaznogsiul-63]

@@AZProPerformance thank you for the quick reply.

[@MarkMeadows90]

I never really been a fan of 20 inch wheels on these OBS Chevrolets. I like the 18 inch wheels better. I see y'all ran 40 series tires. Would it look better with 45 series tires? Give it a little bit more meat on those sidewalls. I don't want anything too low of a profile. Don't get me wrong. I like the 40 series sidewalls, but I wonder how it would look with 45 series sidewalls.

[@AZProPerformance]

I gotcha. On this setup, 45 series would not work and be too tall.

[@MarkMeadows90]

@@AZProPerformance I understand. I’m just curious how the ride quality is with a low profile tire setup like that.

[@hankgs]

Looked better and worth more BONE STOCK... I like the brake upgrade though!

[@wadeepps3443]

just emailed you guys about the new 13 inch brake kit featured in this video as i cant find any info relating to it on your web site.

[@Zaphod7835]

Did I miss the run by run brake test data? Does this mean that the brake kit offers a huge improvement if you autocross, but little or none if your concern is a panic stop on cold brakes?

[@AZProPerformance]

The brakes improve stopping distance by 160 ft. from 90-0, so you an imagine even a 60-0 will be a huge improvement! The brakes will come to temp from normal driving and by no means are terrible around town. In general, brakes improve as they heat up, to a certain point of course. In normal driving, your brakes are heated up within minutes.... they are never "cold" just driving around as normal. Hope this info helps.

[@Zaphod7835]

@@AZProPerformance cold is a relative term... and you've got that backward I think, the difference between their performance will decrease when speeds are reduced.... after all they both stop instantly from 0.

[@banefarooqbey7809]

Great video but do you guys offer a inboard coil over shock drop kit available or in the making?

[@AZProPerformance]

Just the outboard at the moment, and nothing inboard at the moment. Not much room, since the tank is inboard, so makes is more difficult to run a inboard coilover / link system inside the rails. Just not enough demand for it at the moment.

[@banefarooqbey7809]

Ls.swapped.2dr I hear you about being on a budget. I wouldn’t mind swapping my tbi 350 but LS engine prices have gone up. Currently getting a price for a swap, may be cheaper to go vortec heads, mild cam, intake manifold, 4 barrel TBI, and full exhaust. Especially since my engine has 130k and doesn’t leak or burn oil. I am worried about the 4l60e being able to hold up to the 75% power increase though.

[@AZProPerformance]

@@KingStepside See below for my comment on the value

[@trapboyjack5179]

@@AZProPerformance I’m not saying this one is only worth $7k at all. I’m just going based on what I’ve seen around my area. $10k will get you a very nice looking lowered truck. Maybe not with performance mods like brakes and motor work but a lowering kit and decent paint forsure. I just bought one for $1,200 v6 motor that’s getting pulled out and a little rust on cab.

Probably the same as this truck, all GMT400s are pretty much interchangeable.

[@AZProPerformance]

The brakes are the same. As for the lowering, a bit different. Still do a notch, but have to change the hanger as well, trim cross members, trim the body. It is just a lot less room under a 2-door tahoe than a truck.
