1988 Chevrolet Silverado r20 Crew Cab 3+3 350 sm465 4 speed manual 4x2 truck Moving a 12x70ft Mobile Home Instead of being pre squatted its post squatted.
I thought only my people did things like this. It's no coincidence that they're using an old school Chevy truck. Those old trucks will pull and haul whatever you hook up to it. Before the video started, I'm sure the driver said, "You need that trailer moved? Hold my beer!"
*CRAIGSLIST ADD:* Forsale... Gently used 88 Chevy truck driven by my grandfather. Might need clutch and rear shocks soon! Never towed with, babied since day one🙄
People say their Duramax or Turbo Cummins can do so much more than a 454 Big Block Chevy but here we have not even a 454 it's a 350 which is definitely more reliable but less power and it's pulling a damn house! A small block pulling more than a Cummins or a Duramax - and people wonder why I prefer the squarebody
For rural roads and such, sbc and crew cab gets the job done. Nothing like the Duramax, Cummins, or Powerstroke going up hills or on long trip down freeways....need a 454. But the hell with fixing them diesels when things break. With a sbc, they are the easiest thing to work on.
Stop cryin' everyone, square bodys are a dime a dozen and they can handle this type of work no problem, they are chevys from a time trucks were built to last.
Same here in Indiana as far as rust, my k20 has a rust hole in the frame the size of a quarter, I'm just saying this guy ain't gonna hurt the truck by using is for work like today's bs, and if he did hes not going to hurt the market of 73-87 chevy pick ups, parts are cheap
Those square bodies had dual 20 (or 16) gallon tanks that you have to fill up on each side unlike the Fords duals on the same side. If you're in a hurry and don't fill both sides you're back at the gas station tomorrow lmao.
Chevy 454 with granny used to be a beast! I saw my grandad drive down a muddy road! Turn around! Hook up to my uncles ford 250 4x4 also with granny! AND HE WAS STUCK! Pull him out! All in 2wd! Never forget it! Wish camera phones was out back then
What ? No leather? No power windows, seats, door locks ? No power ashtray? Is that an 8 foot bed on a crew cab? No bed liner ? Did he just get out and lock the front hubs? Hubcaps??? I can see inside all the windows, where is the DVD player and the rear seat AC vents, what no AC at all? You cool the inside by flipping the vent windows ? What’s a vent window.
His wife WAS in the back bedroom sleeping but when he jerked the trailer she woke up which in turn made her get out of bed and go to the bathroom at the front of the trailer. (hence the tongue weight). Wait til she goes to the kitchen to get 'er breakfast burrito, Big Gulp soda and ipad. It'll level out.
Those leaf springs fucked up after that new a guy who busted them hauling 2 ton load of marble 3/4 ton pickup when they unloaded the axle shifted back he had to get towed. The only thing holding the axle in was the weight from the marble
They did this with a 3/4 ton, and only a 4x2? I'd think I'd want a 3500 with a 454, but a 2500 with a 350? Impressive. Also, what is pre-squatting and where will they take this to? Love the randomness at 3:33: "Haley, stay here!"
Now this is a truck with mad fucking balls in my opinion all trailer lots should transport trailers this way it would be a lot cheaper on fuel plus thay a lot better gas mileage
jarad antwine.. I have a 2005 Chevy Express 2500 work van. I once pulled a fully loaded 18ft dump trailer full of old scrap steel. Let the jack down and front tires where off the ground. Moved a bunch of stuff to the back of the trailer and off we went. Crossed the scales at the yard and total weight was 28,000 lbs. Don't know how the old van managed that lol. But it did. Oh and my Chevy Silverado 3500. 20ft trailer bumper pull full as could get with oak and hickory fire wood. Had to hang my tractor weights on the ranch hand bumper to keep the front end on the ground to pull out. Good Times !!!!! Oh hey bout forgot. Even my 2 rides are Chevys. Lol. Can't beat em.
As the son of a former mobile home mover, that truck isn't built for that. It may have the power, but he has more weight on, both, his suspension and definitely too much on his rear tires. Since he doesn't have a toter, I would've at least used a dually with a diesel engine. Also, the heavier the load is you're pulling, the higher your RPM is going to go (which can be a bad thing.) Everyone has different opinions, but it's fact.
I turned the direction my mobile home was sitting with a 2004 Silverado half ton 4x4, I sat the tongue jack on a discarded bent front truck bumper, then low lock and it slid really easy, but no don't their alot easier to turn then try and actually move it over terrain.
Gotta love a square Chevy. I would love to own a 87-91 k-5 blazer that wasn’t rusted to the core but when you find one that ain’t, you’ll pay big cash for it around where I live.
Iv seen many things on youtube, but for some reason this is the most satisfying. And its not even 4wd! Btw, I really hope your junking that trailer haha.
@Dave Stephens I understand how trailer weight distribution works, I am saying that I am surprised that the single rear wheels on the pickup didn't pop from all the tongue weight
When you're on house arrest & the judge says you can't leave your home
Lol😂

Yeah they just won't stop and a new one wouldn't even squat
I can move this home with my 94 mazda b2300 piece of cake
Lol. You need a old f600 dump truck lol
I'm just curious how he took that thing on the open road without having a half a dozen cops on his ass that can't be legal
that poor truck can use a good home
*CRAIGSLIST ADD:*
Forsale... Gently used 88 Chevy truck driven by my grandfather. Might need clutch and rear shocks soon! Never towed with, babied since day one🙄
I went too get some beer and cigarette s and my Fu#kin house was gone.
if it was a new truck soon as that trailer hit the hitch ball it would have went into limp mode!
you ain't bragging till your dragging
That truck was meant to do nothing except be worked to death. Not like this new bullshit rolling around
Hell yeah
When Chevy made a truck worth a damn
"Hey Honey! Guess what? Lot #4 is open! Let's move over there before someone else gets it," 😀
😂😂😂😂
Ol chevy has some power
Had lot's of old chevy trucks and they are tough trucks.
People say their Duramax or Turbo Cummins can do so much more than a 454 Big Block Chevy but here we have not even a 454 it's a 350 which is definitely more reliable but less power and it's pulling a damn house!

That’s one tough old Chevy
P.s. we moved, not to far... the parking brake came loose. Signed bubba J
Fun fact all crew cabs come with 1 ton frames regardless if its a 3/4
Ridin like a Cadillac, with super power steering lol :D
4 doors long bed that a rarer truck🤔🤓
Gilbert Serna thats what i was thinking to
Rare breed also
Chevy & GMC crewcabs with that body style only came in long beds back then.
I pulled a 12x50 mobile home about 5 miles with my 77 F250 on the ball of the step bumper! I still use it to plow snow.
Best damned trucks ever built
What engine is in it
Stop cryin' everyone, square bodys are a dime a dozen and they can handle this type of work no problem, they are chevys from a time trucks were built to last.
Phoenix497
not a dime s dozen here. worth their weight in beer, if u can find one that's not a rust bucket
Same here in Indiana as far as rust, my k20 has a rust hole in the frame the size of a quarter, I'm just saying this guy ain't gonna hurt the truck by using is for work like today's bs, and if he did hes not going to hurt the market of 73-87 chevy pick ups, parts are cheap
And its 2wd too!👍
90's they were built to last
I'll take 2 dozen in that case. Where can I pick them up? I'll bring 20 cents, you have them ready.
legend has it they are still filling the tank with gas
Not as bad a 460 you watch the fuel level go down idling
If you leave it running when getting gas, it'll never completely fill up.😂
Those square bodies had dual 20 (or 16) gallon tanks that you have to fill up on each side unlike the Fords duals on the same side. If you're in a hurry and don't fill both sides you're back at the gas station tomorrow lmao.
Anthony Vandyke
I have to agree, my dad had a Lincoln Mark V with a 460. I could literally watch the needle go down.
Chevy 454 with granny used to be a beast! I saw my grandad drive down a muddy road! Turn around! Hook up to my uncles ford 250 4x4 also with granny! AND HE WAS STUCK! Pull him out! All in 2wd! Never forget it! Wish camera phones was out back then
I have a Chevy 454😎
That mobile home looks like it should be part of the set of The Walking Dead.
Curtis Braun they had just bought it from the Prop Shop
"Got my camper all loaded up and headed for the hills!"
That's one bad ass Chevy
DAMNED rite!! Chevy tough! and here's the proof!!
Never underestimate an old Chevrolet truck
When you hear old timers talking about how the 454 could pull anything this is what they mean.
Reminds me of my childhood good memories my uncle got us a home yayyy
Turn the stupid hillbilly music off, lets hear what's going on.
Billy Bobs leaf springs never did have the bounce like they used to after that day
hold my beer monument
Monument?
*for a moment?
Should be called the super Chevy show
Chevy power 454 Big Block
You can't kill a pushrod motor 😂
I've been there and done but with a 1997 Chevy 3/4
That's a c30 (1 ton) because for those years they didn't make 4 door/crew cab in 3/4 ton.
Filipe Rodriguez I have a C20 85 crew cab long bed
Never underestimate the true power of an old square body.
When mama wants to move
Rock crushing transmission in that truck
Yup like a rock that SM465 is !!!
Pulling something and STOPPING something are two different things. Oh and let's not forget about steering around corners. This is ridiculous.
What ? No leather? No power windows, seats, door locks ? No power ashtray? Is that an 8 foot bed on a crew cab? No bed liner ? Did he just get out and lock the front hubs? Hubcaps??? I can see inside all the windows, where is the DVD player and the rear seat AC vents, what no AC at all? You cool the inside by flipping the vent windows ? What’s a vent window.
Too nice of a truck...
RED Neck dreams home on wheels ahhhhhh.. just pickup and going to New place 🙊🙉🙈🍯🤥🤔👁️👀😭🔥🙊🙊🙊
What other countries picture the US as:
WHAT IN THE FUCK???!!! Who the fuck pays Corey & fuckin' Trevor to park a fucking trailer??? 🤔
I like this
nobody ever thinks to put some weight in the back of the trailer to help take some weight off the tongue
storminnormanz The back is dangling like maybe they did.
His wife WAS in the back bedroom sleeping but when he jerked the trailer she woke up which in turn made her get out of bed and go to the bathroom at the front of the trailer. (hence the tongue weight). Wait til she goes to the kitchen to get 'er breakfast burrito, Big Gulp soda and ipad. It'll level out.
storminnormanz : Hahahahaha ....maybe some helium balloons tied to the outside of the trailer ......
Those leaf springs fucked up after that new a guy who busted them hauling 2 ton load of marble 3/4 ton pickup when they unloaded the axle shifted back he had to get towed. The only thing holding the axle in was the weight from the marble
I don't see what the big deal is that's common place stuff for Chevy
- Honey I think the toilet hole is full
- Dont worry hon, I'll move to another spot.
Is there a part 2?
They did this with a 3/4 ton, and only a 4x2? I'd think I'd want a 3500 with a 454, but a 2500 with a 350? Impressive. Also, what is pre-squatting and where will they take this to?
Love the randomness at 3:33: "Haley, stay here!"
It's because he's overloading his pickup. His tires have too much weight on them, and so does his suspension.
The landfill comes to mind...
Looks like the back end of that truck is quite low to the ground. xD
Yeah that cheap towing package definitely brike down the rd or bent something up bad lol
My 1985 3/4 ton with a turbo 6.2 diesel would love this!
Now this is a truck with mad fucking balls in my opinion all trailer lots should transport trailers this way it would be a lot cheaper on fuel plus thay a lot better gas mileage
Yeehaw get er done! 💪😂
Got the interstate running through his front yard man he never had it so good oh yea
tough ass chevy truck from a bygone era, no computers and plastic shit.
Hell boys. That's nothin. Front tires still on the ground. Lol. Ask me how I know. Haha.
Josh Hampton barely touching the ground.

that's why I'm a Chevy Mexican
Jorge Gonzalez lol
😅😎💯
that's a long ass truck.
Ronald Brump k
Good job for 2wd. Well done Chevy
That’s what a real squat looks Like not non of that stupid shit with the lift in the front
The mobile home was rubbish. The cute little girl was the best bit!
Where the hell is mee maw
I love the smell of burnt clutch in the morning
Hey babe my boss is coming we gotta move this is his land
I would take the bed off the truck so I could see better.
i wanna see him do 100 down the highway in that thing
100 downhill grade 5 mile per hour uphill grade who says he ain't trucker
Pulling isnt the difficult part, stopping is
Anything is possible in a trailer park.
Bro put my house back
Music sucks and wrecks the video
got to move it some how

My dad & cousin pulled a 12 x 65 mobile home with his International Jeep with 4 wheel drive, no problems. But I don't know about a Chevy truck 😕
Man those Chevy commercials weren't lying back then!
Let ole square body eat a lil
I thought I was watching Discovery channel with a ant pissant carrying a loaf of bread.
I don't see many of those generation Chevy & GMC fullsize trucks out on the roads anymore like I use to back in the day.
I turned the direction my mobile home was sitting with a 2004 Silverado half ton 4x4, I sat the tongue jack on a discarded bent front truck bumper, then low lock and it slid really easy, but no don't their alot easier to turn then try and actually move it over terrain.
Its funny how ecoshit fans are now doing this with new trucks and they are so amazed by it 😮😮😮!!
Gotta love a square Chevy. I would love to own a 87-91 k-5 blazer that wasn’t rusted to the core but when you find one that ain’t, you’ll pay big cash for it around where I live.
Iv seen many things on youtube, but for some reason this is the most satisfying. And its not even 4wd! Btw, I really hope your junking that trailer haha.
Nothing like 80’s and 90’s pickups
Best ever
GET ER DONE 🇺🇸
Kids were going camping at the beach! Lmao. Long live bowties.
That long wheelbase is saving his ass
Can't believe he just drove away without getting his beer back from Mark.
That’s a good looking truck.
Need your trailer moved! Call BR 5492 talk to Eugene Smeller.
That truck has the power of all the Ford's together wait NVM I wouldn't make it whith that
I wonder what they bought first in 1982 truck or trailer?
Surprised the tires didn't pop
Think about the differences in situations of what you said between yours and this. 40' gooseneck vs 60' frame hitch
@Dave Stephens I understand how trailer weight distribution works, I am saying that I am surprised that the single rear wheels on the pickup didn't pop from all the tongue weight
