    Leave it stock please!! Best vehicle I ever owned was A 1975 C30 crew cab dually camper special, 454 with turbo 400. It carried a 12 and half foot camper most of the 200 thousand plus miles it had on it. Took it with camper up and down the Alcan 3 times in the 80s and 90s. I am now 80 years old and that truck brings back great memories. Thanks Puddin

      No offense but your truck was yours and this truck is his, it doesn't need to be what you would do, but you can still respect it and reminisce the same!
      In fact, if left stock, then you will only see it in the background here and there as opposed to it he builds it, then you'll get a lot of content to take you back to those good ol days!
      I don't know about you but I'd love to see him dive back into a lot more fabrication again! He enjoys it and that shows! I think between him and slick they could really transform the bed into one hell of a trick setup to really showcase not only their talent, but their passion as well! Leave the outside as it is (fix the rust spots if he wants and maybe paint the hood, roof and bed rails....) but cutting the middle of the inside of the bed out and doing some huge tubs to tuck semi wheels as well as leaving the rear axle, frame and an intricate suspension exposed (like a custom cantilever bag setup) along with a really nice sheet metal design in the front of the bed housing the air ride system with crazy hard lines and custom brackets and mounts would be amazing!
      OR slam it static and put in a high performance/big (ger) cube motor and make it haul as..... !

      The red needs to absolutely go! After the last square body interior he did, this one needs to eclipse that! (Ironically he said he did it because his buddy deserved it because he's so selfless..... Puddin have him that truck, he gave back the previous owner of the "some day model a", he's honest and extremely thankful for us to and is absolutely sincere when he said it! If ANYONE deserves a quality interior, Puddin does!
      This truck has so much exponential potential, there's absolutely no way he should just leave it stock! (He knows that though, there's no question that he really wants to proceed to see where he takes it!);

Like replacing the swaybar bushings with polyurethane bushings, connect that cruise control rod back up to the that actuator where it goes and see if the cruise control would work. And after that, I'd ride that Cowboy Cadillac.

    If , when you replace any component of the power steering/hydroboost system on any vehicle, you will elevate the front wheels where you can easily turn them without starting the engine, top off the reservoir , steer it back and forth a couple of times before you start it, that will cause the large piston in the power steering box or power steering rack to push the air out and fill everything with oil. When you start it without doing that it aerates the fluid and those bubbles make the pump cavitate causing the whine sound and since its full of air bubbles it over flows the reservoir because the air displaces fluid. just make sure the the reservoir stays full while you purge it as described with engine off. Power steering fluid should be used in power steering systems, transmission fluid breaks down the seals and permeates the hoses. When I was first starting out as a mechanic I put transmission fluid in the power steering systems and had a lot of leaks, an older mechanic told me about the problems that occur if you don't use PS fluid, just passing it on, good luck and great video.

Interior just about as minty as this rig. Threw one of them Apple CarPlay head units in. The thing cost me $250. No, I didn’t miss any zeros or commas.

    IAC. (Idle air control) motor is located in the t body. Pull it out and clean the pintle and where it seats. It is a controlled vacuum. Also be careful of the gasket as you put it back or replace it. You can watch it open and close if you have a scanner. To determine if it's the cause of your stumble. Pretty common and won't usually throw a code...

    As a fellow squarebody crew cab owner I can agree that truck is good as is, you're not gonna save any money by doing too much work to it if you intend to occasionally drive it every now and then for hauling stuff. I use mine for long distance hauling across the states and have diesel swapped it in stead of the 454 it had originally, tripled my MPGs. Those seats are amazing and they'll be great for the long drives.

Good job of editing when doing multiple bolts, wires, wheels, etc! One suggestion: please put a dab of thread lube on bolts/nuts to make easier to assemble (and remove next time).

    Howdy Puddin. I say leave it just like it is. You and Slick did an awesome job cleaning it up. I’d use it as a local runner to the junk yard. Fix carpet in interior at some point and do a video on putting locker in it. 😊. Love your work!

    Yeah!!! We're doin up an 82' square body crew cab dually too. The starter had to be shimmed first thing to get her home. Motor and trans was swapped in two days, all without a lift. We're almost done, catch up Puddin! 🤠

    I think I'd put the big rig wheels on her and let her set as is, change the exhaust not sure how but for sure make her sound more guder, and do some interior updating change what need be. I think you'll have yourself a damn fine truck for years and years to come.

    With these early 90s fuel injected cars you need to pop the ECU open and verify there's no corroded capacitors inside. Fords are notorious for this but I'm not sure about chevy. has to do with the Quaternary Ammonium Salt/compound issue of the early 90s capacitors, they all leak everywhere and spew caustic electrolyte on everything and whoops, no more ECU. eats right through the conformal coating, even.

    You’ve got me all inspired to get mine all spruced up.
    I’ve got an 87 just like that in tan.
    It needs some serious tlc, but it does have good, solid bones. Zero rust.
    It’s next summers project.
    Got an OSB I’m working on right now.
    That and an express box van I’m building into a camper.
    One (or two..) thing at a time.

      I forgot my daily square (an 86 c20 burb) needs some minor tlc.
      Due for a tune up, some fluid changes, and I got some aftermarket hella headlights for it that need to go in, so I can actually see at night.
      Just do a little bit every day and you’ll be way further along than you imagined pretty quick.

    I'm Team "Leave it as is" ! Something you might want to check is the plate underneath the throttle body. I had a '92 extended cab chevy that carbon'd up on me a few times over the years. i learned from an old timer to run STP (or what ever your favorite fuel additive is,) every other fill up and try to keep the plate as clean as possible!
