Long beds are underrated, don't @ me.
Thats what I am sayin
My daily driver is a long bed 1979 Chevy Truck badged with Bonanza C-20 Camper Special. My Dads truck.
The cool thing about trucks is the utility factor. Longbed 4×4. 6 cylinder manual transmission. Or 90 s diesels cummins or ford . new trucks suck.
Short beds are over rated...

And this is what I miss with the older format of the shows. They take you step by step and they show you what they are doing. What they have done. They do not just say what they are planning and next scene have it done. Kevin and Ryan are the best hosts, Trucks or whatever they needed it later ever had.
Tommy's hair! Flowing golden locks.
@bloughme5947 dude I was shocked to see that. My boy got the locks 😂
Would have a been a bitchen mullet
I was not ready for that iPod LOL
"Dude this flash drive has some absolute bangers on it"
Young Tommy looks like he’s straight out of Dazed and Confused
HILARIOUS !!!
DAMN! The long hair and lack of chops through me for a loop! You know this is an OLD build from back in the day!
Great HAIR! Bet the chicks went wild over that!

Soooooo glad ya'll didn't do a sad patina paint job these trucks look so much better with a paint job that is fresh and uniform. Great work. I have owned 3 of these body styles and are my favorite of all the Chevy trucks .
This is an old episode back in the day when people had taste and patina wasn't a main stream thing. Patina probably started as I can't afford paint to high end builders deciding they can save the labor and expense of a paint job but still charge you the price as if they had.
I understand the patina look has its place, but in my opinion, you just can't beat the look of brand new beautiful paint.
@@carguy3028 That's honestly the first thing that came to my mind, don't get me wrong, there are some cars that patina looks amazing on, but when I see most cars with patina It just seems lazy like they were trying to avoid the paint work
how much money did you throw at that thing to try and make it look cool... under all that body filler and paint theres a story, a story you're covering up
I agree this truck looks fantastic but owning or working on a truck or car redone to this magnitude is stress x 10000. A friend of mine had a 70 something square body that had a billion dollar paint job on the body and frame. He had rubber hoses over his ratchet handles to name one extreme he went to protecting his cream puff. I absolutely hated working on that thing. Just replacing the exhaust was a nightmare. Ooh ooh careful watch it dont hit the frame, oh my god did you chip it. But then he treated his 70k suburban like a demolition car. Besides the look I can see why patina is popular. It's for cars to be genuinely enjoyed and not babied like jesus blessed the crown jewels
These two are the best hosts on Trucks.
Midg buffed the old windshield so much it even got a factory made tint on the top edge.
I like long beds, my whole family had long bed pickups..
That is Kevin Stetz from Eastwood. He is a excellent body and paint man.
I had a 67 small back window C10. Worked on that truck for 20 years while serving in the military only to end up selling it in a divorce 😳. What a sad day that was. Truck looked 👍🏾 great too. Did not mind loosing that wife but heart crushed 💔 loosing that truck. Truck never did me wrong😪. A true Soldiers 🚚 truck...😁🇺🇸
I was the parts cleaning guy as a kid. Gasoline. No gloves. No mask. Just loving every minute with my father. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Im old school and did a lot a fabricating and rebuilds.
Its good to see the hobby carried on in good hands
It's really a new hand built truck , period !!
wow watching this and seeing tommy rocking the mulet was cool
I would have painted the Chevrolet letters in the tailgate but gosh what a great project.
My first truck was 64 short bed. Miss that truck.
More full build vids like this. 👍
Thank you guys... Good job 👍👍👍
Oh man. So easy to work on for a mechanic. Tough. Timeless grocery getter. Tool guy ride. Splendid.
Great looking truck! Enjoyed watching the whole build!!!
Hell of a build! I plan on daily driving my truck once I finish the build!
It’s a shame that they didn’t leave the original paint, I know it wasn’t the style then but it just looked so good!
I agree. So many in the comments are hating on the original look. While I agree a new paint job looks fantastic it has the side effect of making its owner weird where they baby it more than anything else they own. Makes it a complete nightmare to work on for fear of a microscopic chip on the frame.
TOTALLY AWESOME BUILD!!!! I LOVE THE 1960 to 1966 C10'S. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAILY DRIVER!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!!
When you're done you could drive it right onto the scales at the scrapyard, after ruining it and cutting it in half to make it look like a Volkswagen
Another great tool to use when installing Boom Mats is a thick or folded rag, preferably clean of course.
It gives you the ability to slide your hands around while pressing the mats down, especially around the usual bends/shaped metal found in vehicle cabs.
You guys are very hardworking!
Great video.
Beautiful truck, thanks for posting!
What a lovely project.
Truck looks awesome! Great job!
Hello from Michigan wow love that Chevy absolutely gorgeous well done guys.
You can call it a driver, but you better have LoJack on it and never leave it in a parking lot overnight. Too nice!
Guys did a great job on that truck. Only negative its not a manual. Love the old styling of both Chevy and Ford back in the day. Hope you guys do more of these kind of truck builds.
Man, I thought I knew but I ended up learning so much!!! Love your video guys. Thank you very much!!!
Am I the only one that loves long beds?
you are great thanks for all the info
Beautiful job👍
I LIKE THE LONGBED FLEETSIDE.
Amazing job gentlemen,absolutely the best truck build I have ever seen!!!! would love to own that,must be hard to let em go once ur finished 😞

They make it look so easy. I wish I had the tools and time like them
Sweet truck guys really nice I appreciate that you kept it stock looking too very nice 👍🏻
I don't know why you people think you gotta cut up a perfectly good long Box Is longbox frame The trucks are getting hard enough fine And you're cutting up trucks That are beautiful
in love with this truck!
Great Job guys!!!
I built my 72 GMC, it was a long bed converted to short bed, I was able to get an entire replacement bed for it. I did close to what they did here in the 2 hours, took me about 5 1/2 years in my garage.
i guess i weird i like long bed better and they ride great to ,1964 step side long bed that mine
I had a 62 long narrow bed with 235 six in high school. Red and white it was a great pick up.
Those coil springs and swim arm rear end could handle wash boards like a dream.
My 51 would be in the ditch at those speeds.
Du Québec. Superb excellent bravo.
Just perfect ! Well done guys!
Great looking truck !
I have always liked thatera truck with Rally wheels on them.
Oh yeah! Another full build episode.
PowerNation and Budget go together like Peanut Butter and Tuna. Lol
Great video very helpful on many fronts.
I prefer this C10 build to Stacy David's Copperhead C10. Jmo. This one seems more "everyman" and keeps the truck more original, save the chopped bed. Beautiful build. Love the color.
NICE WORK GUYS
I’m building a couple similar builds on my channel, great video! Keep up the good work!
Great project! Not too crazy, not rediculously expensive, something a real truck enthusiast could enjoy for years. Beautiful. Does it still look good 12 years later?
I would've kept the LWB; opted2 shorten the bed extend the cab w/2suicides, larger fuel tank(s), FI, EPS rack, carpet delete, pwr panoramic moon roof, modern 8coil ignition, roller cam& rockers or small block LS, alumacoat headers w/locks, 8spd ZF Automatic, darker bed woods, spray in bed liner, sliding rear window, hi-mount LED 3rd brake light, nano grapheme tinted windows, 250V LiPo battery system, electric A/C compressor &cold air induction.
I like the 4Wheel discs, V8 retention &OEM color matching.
I agree, the LWB was rare back in the day. Short boxes were a dime a dozen!
That is one gorgeous c10.
My preference would have been put a 4 or 5-speed manual transmission. I love that paint job. Needs a headliner and Air Conditioning.
Tommy looks like the 4th Hanson brother...🤔😁
HILARIOUS !!! LOL !!
I had to replay that part just to confirm I heard the name right! I'm more used to the shorter hair and long chops! LOL!
Old time hockey?
@@jwrockets Haaa !! Says it all right there ! 🤣😂🤣
I love those old trucks.. they are so cool!!!
Good looking Truck . Cool .
This is one of my favorite nice work
Just amazing look good job. I would only recommend to have it higher
Love this truck....little trick with the exhaust welds is to use a flat file first to take the hump of the weld down flat and then sand and polish....spent many years welding stainless boat rails and polishing them... just something I learned about 25 years ago.
Hermosa camioneta son las mejores
Un trabajo excelente felicitaciones a todos ustedes por un buen trabajo
En mi país muy difícil y costosos ha er ese tipo de proyectos.
Saludos desde Ecuador
Awesome truck.
That is one pretty powder coated frame
Awesome color
Love these old trucks ! The short bed looks better but the long bed drives & rides better in my opinion ! My first truck in mid 80 S was 62 Chevy custom ! Have a 66 LWB & 68 SWB now !!! 😁👍✌
I enjoyed watching this video!
That truck looks beautiful. Sadly, I couldn't drive it with all of that chrome and silver in the interior.
Fanfreekingtastic job!!!
worked, many thanks
Beautiful. I love my country and our way of life.
this drivable art is amazing. it's a new truck where an old rusty truck used to sit. be well.
I had a 1964 c 20 long wheel base with a 1963 327 corvette motor loved that old truck when I left the states I sold it to a 18 year old school kid he bugged me 2 years to buy it from me. I told him to bring a 1000 dollars and it’s his.
If were to have one. I want the improved suspension and abs and air.. that is it.. newer stuff is nice, but the classics are the best ever.. my grandpa had a 66 chevy long bed.. with a 6 cylinder and a 3 speed on the column. it was a work horse of a truck.. blue and white..!!!
Beautiful ride! Ever think about building a custom truck that can pull a large trailer or 5th wheel?
great color
For polishing on the wheel. My dad taught me NOT to hold your piece at a 90 degree angle to the wheel. Instead, hold it at an angle to the wheel and you won't launch your part!
gorgeous . . .
Very sweet machine
man that truck is sweet
Gorgeous... It would've looked even better with a 2 inch top chop.
I like the walnut shell blasting better
new windshield. not old polished one. still looks hella nice!!!
They just started making Short box bedsides now for these trucks
Hell yes how about a 73-87 next
Heck yeah I would like to see it.
@57:28 he says make sure your air bleeders are pointed up or your going to have a whole Lotta trouble getting air out of the brake lines. Then immediately mounts it down.
He mounted it the right way...the bleeder screw is at the top....🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's been 12 years sense this was finished. Be nice to see it now, and how it held up in that time... I would have ditched the green, and at no time would I put bags on it. Thankfully, that trend has played out.
Bagged C10s are played out? Haha!! Its just getting started.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP No... bags are so 90's. No matter what baggers say, nothing is better then a real suspension. Bags are for semis.
Hey, I just saw you in POWERNATION
Insane the rust underneath the powdercoating
Should’ve mocked up the suspension and notched the frame before the blast and powder coat. Also should’ve left the patina. This must be an old show. Tommy had long hair and looked young.
I think I figured out why they did it this way. You said it yourself, that the on-cycle time must be sufficiently long for the freezer to work properly given the path the refrigerant takes. Based on the sped-up video showing the progressing coldness through the evaporator, it lakes at least 10 minutes for the full length of the evaporator coil to become cold. By placing the sensor bulb near the end of the evaporator line, it ensures the on cycle time lasts at least long enough to give the freezer time to freeze.
Another effect of this placement is that it can indirectly respond to a rise in freezer temperature as well as refrigerator temperature. When the compressor is off and the system is equalized, it’s using the refrigerant line as a capillary tube from the freezer compartment and effectively averages the thermostat’s reading between the two compartments. Still not ideal, but considering the low prices of mini-fridges, understandable. And clever!
Especially when everyone does short bed swap, then you can’t find long beds anymore. Then everyone is going to want that cause it’s rare lol
At 1:11:09 Tommy got a hair cut and he isn't blond anymore.
I think I heard them say “ a year ago when we first started this build “
One day I would like to see if they could rebuild a dodge D-100 the wold draw my attention.
I would like to see the 53 f100 they built
much prefer these guys to Stacey and the other guy
Same.
I don't see these guys doing any burnouts.. seem kinda vanilla to me..js
