Glad that was just an exhaust leak, but figured it was since you just put those headers on. Very surprised the muffler shop didn't catch that? Those trans rebuild kits are great and generally correct a lot of issues, especially with hard or delayed shifting. That fluid was nasty but the pan didn't look bad. Truck looks great!
Great work my friend. I love the truck. I have a 64 Chevrolet truck to that. I’m doing a complete frame off restoration keep up the good work and God bless. Bless you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!! God bless and best of luck with your project, feel free to ask if you have any questions during the process!
been following the build and really love the direction its going.. the steelies are always a good choice.. if it were me id paint them white and give them a little distressed look.. awesome build my man
Thank you! I was definitely thinking white also! I like the distressed idea for sure. I have an extra steelie, i might mess around with and see what I could do
Drop the entire trans valve body and clean it really good. There are little tiny filters and ball stops in there that may have debris gunked up on them.
Wheels definitely look better! Put a lowering kit on it and that will definitely fix the wheel gap. It’s awesome as it is for a daily driver. I hope your transmission doesn’t slip with the new fluid. I have heard a lot of people say when it’s not serviced and fluid is black sometimes when you put fresh atf in it will start to slip. I hope you don’t have that happen! 🤞🏼
Did that take care of the shifting issue. Mine has just over 200k and was doing that a little. It’s not bad yet. I’ll do that stuff before I put the body on if it worked out for you.
Ive only did a short test drive so far, it definitely feels better, but i need to do a little more driving before i can really tell if it solved the issues!
Does your restomod have 400K on the engine? You also seem to be going with keeping all the holes in the metal? Are you planning on "sweating the sticker"?
I plan on building a 6.0 and 4l80e for this truck so didnt want to spend the money and time to rebuild this 5.3. It runs good as is, so no need to rebuild at the moment. I didnt fix all the holes because it would be too much time and i dont have the skills at the moment, also any hole on the outside that i fix would stick out against the patina look of the truck. I dont know what sweating the sticker means, but i wanted to get the truck to a point where i could enjoy it and drive it while working out the other details. Thank you for your comment!
I want to, but when i lower the front more it rides realllly rough and also the cross member is getting close to the ground. The rear is not adjustable, i may have to look into some sort of coilovers for the rear or air bags perhaps. Was trying to avoid air bags though
Lol! You are so right, i need to stop saying “real quick” and “alright” so much. They are just like filler words for me at this point. Dont even notice it!
I just found your channel, looks great I personally like the black steelies, you presentation is very good, thanks for the video.
Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the channel!

Yeah, definitely should’ve been caught at the exhaust shop for sure! Glad it was only that!!

Keep it black, I like the look!
I think so too! Its definitely grown on me!

If I still have problems will definitely have to do that! Hopefully dont have to tear back into it!! Lol
Wow cool truck
Thank you!! 😁
There are lights that do that. From a newish Ottawa Yard Tractor , they use everywhere, you can buy direct from Them , or at Truck hardware stores.
Awesome!! I will look into that for sure!!

I heard the same thing about the trans fluid! But since it was kinda acting weird as it was, i figured it was worth a shot!
Go to the parts store and buy a little red tube of anti shudder and put in. Works wonders! Also, Do you know the offset of the bronco wheels?
Bronco wheels are +55 offset, nice for the rear but definitely sit in far in the front
@FLManGarage I have a 1966 carryall that I put on a 2006 yukon frame but the rear is too wide with the stock wheels.
That was the same problem i had, the tahoe rear was way too wide and rubbing!

Thank you!!
Wheels are much better! Letttttttssssss gooooooo!
I think so too!! Thanks!
You have to lower it a little bit
I want to, but when i lower the front more it rides realllly rough and also the cross member is getting close to the ground.
The rear is not adjustable, i may have to look into some sort of coilovers for the rear or air bags perhaps. Was trying to avoid air bags though
👍🏻
Nice job, but why do everything need to be "real quick" ;)
