Hi Guys, looks like someone is spamming the comments claiming to be me saying you've won a prize, that's not from me so please don't click. I'm trying to delete all those comments...
Im not at all a chevy guy but i will admit they hold up and are beasts at just about anything u throw at them. What i dont like is how the government had to help them and their square wheel wells and they are ugly. The running gear is awesome tho. I practice rallying a WT SILVERADO so when i finish my RHD prerunner, ill have a better idea of it. Great video. There use to be an AWD twin turbo chevy truck that was a beast on the streets. Walked alot of ppl like dogs. Chevys are the equivalent to Toyota. They are cheap, last forever, parts are abundant, and ugly as heck but if it get the job done who cares about looks. Lol.
High dollar builds getting turned out by an AWD full size with a blower. That is poetic. Turn One Steering will get your power steering woes handled too. They have kits for trucks to covert the old Saginaw Type I pump to one of their HP2 Type II pumps. I went from an overheated system after every auto-x run to back-to-back-to-back runs with no issue (and no cooler)
I’m very glad to see you continue what you were doing on the television shows. I think you’re a genuinely good guy and I like how you’re technical and goofy, at the same time. I hope to see more from you on UA-cam and more of your brother, he’s a nut 🌰! It’s great to see family helping out. Enjoy yourself LT.
@@LawrenceTolman I'm watching the exponential growth of you Channel and it is so well deserved! You put out fantastic, interesting, and informative content. I am loving to see the subscribers grow.
Dude you can drive! I'm a driver.. a pro driver of a lot of different things small and large. You were able to get comfortable with the shortcomings of your build and you know exactly what you want to do to make it a murder weapon in your hands bro!! Great Job!!
V8 AWD launches are something to behold. In 2018 I bought a Jeep SRT8 and when I felt it launch I thought "Oh, I could really get used to this!" Love this take on a AWD truck that never was.
For autocross manually shift and hold a lower gear. The truck will be more predictable and the engine braking will help slow it down allowing you to drive it deeper into the turns. Awesome build, keep up the great work!
Congrats on your success! Just proves old fashioned hard work & engineering can prevail over people that buy brand new, slap some gawdy splitter & rear wing on it and try to compete with only their checkbook. Keep it going, we'll be watching #BeenWatchingSincePowerNationTV
It just goes to show. Work Smarter, not harder definitely paid off for you here LT!! No where else to go but UP my Friend! Congratulations on a very successful 1st outing with the COPO and for 1st Place! Cheers! Zip~
This proves you know what you're doing. Not only did the truck perform well it took the abuse with no issues. You did a fantastic job, I'm glad I found your channel early on.
Dude that thing absolutely rips. I vote you drag race this instead of the ugly truck!! Nice work. About that vette.... dude was probably just embarrassed or angry. Sucks, looked like a nice car
I am so stoked for this build. I built the exact same thing in highschool except with 4:10's and a 6.0 lq9. No one believed me when I tell them the combo is that good now I can just show them this!
You got a tinge of emotion when your efforts gave you 1st place in a 5000lb truck with stock suspension and brakes... I’d have choked up a little, too. Cheers to victory 🍻
GREAT JOB LT!!! People under estimate what an LSA Blower with traction can do. They always jump to turbos. Love seeing this LSA Build put in work and the 4l60 as well! I would love to see you keep on pushing the 4l60.
CONGRATS LT, I think your truck will be a trend setter seeing how well it did with a well worn bone stock front suspension. Can't wait to watch your truck next year with a dialed suspension and brakes, better tires and hopefully a bigger/built engine :) Again Congrats LT
So bad ass LT!!! 😎🤜🤛😎This was a total blast to watch & you really got the initial dial in NAILED! Still can't believe how well it hooks, accelerates and turns...I need this truck!!😁
Nice video,I was in the white nova in front of you at speed and stop Sunday,I think my next build is going to be a awd light weight truck ,built with the same components maybe in a classic c10 chassis
We came to LS Fest clear from Pennsylvania with hopes to meet you and check out the truck. We were there all day Saturday and never could find you anywhere. Glad to see the truck is performing great. Congrats on 1st place. So awesome to see a step side truck crushing all the high dollar hot rods out there!
Well done, LT! Feels good to take out some of the big money guys, been there. Dude, you're killing them guys out of the hole with that AWD!!.. Kudos and greetings from the farm in S.C.
Heck yeah. Now for some 2007+ front brakes (larger) and some 06 and older rear discs ( bigger than the 07 and up) and a hydraboost for better stopping. Throw on the larger front 1 ton sway bar (36.2 mm vs 34) and the rear and you have body roll control and stopping power you can get parts for at any parts store if necessary, instead of special order.
I think this fully justifies your plan of making a factory style COPO truck. What an awesome daily driver! And still so much more that can be done without going stupid.
Awesome job man. AWD was the way to go. That thing is a rocket. Something was up with that track. Cleetus couldn't hook up on a detune and that dude went into the wall.
Impressive and I'm sure super rewarding for you man. I was not immediately impressed with the lsa 4.8 idea but as it has come together and certainly after the proven performance i am a believer. Nice work. Looking for more content like this and some collaboration with other UA-cam channels. Keep it up!
Looks like it was a very fun weekend. I wasn’t sure why you were doing an AWD swap, but now I get it. That thing killed it. And if you need a new motor, 4.8 and 5.3 are a dime a dozen. I still think an L92 long block would me even more amazing. But im very impressed with the 4.8!
Racing that corvette must have been pure adrenaline. Probably felt like penguin in the new Batman. Except you really got away. Poor guy. That was a nice car.
Looks like all your hard work paid off, LT! I was really enjoying watching that 4.8 just eat the pavement against all the big boys. Congratulations, you deserve it! Thanks for sharing!!
Wow, you guys (you, truck, cameradocumenter brother) did really well. Indeed, AWD is the way, you really did build a successful COPO style factory race truck there.
You need a trofee shelf in your garage!! Love the build. Multiple purposes race truck/ car... put a camper in the back and you can go camping also! Put on To yo R888 tire! Those are DOT approved and can be used on roads!
Phenomenal build, and results. Thoroughly enjoying all your UA-cam efforts and progress. Keep kickin butt man, excited to see what you come up with next.
That AWD launches hard! Awesome truck! I also have a Black 2000 Silverado Stepside that I've had now for about 15 years. I have a fiberglass Tonneau cover for it as well.
Awesome video, first your brother Mark did a great job on being the camera guy not because we both have the same name. LoL In addition you just have shown that GM should of built a truck all wheel drive with a supercharger, they missed the boat ride. I sure hope some of the people at gm saw this video. Also the 5.3 guys may have a change of heart for the 4.8 and they may have just become more valuable after what you have shown what you can do to it in the power adder department. Thankyou for that video, nice to see the outcome of all of that hard work.
Ridetech has a Fox front shock for a 4WD GMT800. Probably the most performance oriented shock you'll find for that application. They might even be able to custom valve something for you. They have a big front sway bar too.
No better way to get exposure to the channel than some free advertising in the form of kicking some high $$ build butt. Betcha they still talking about that orange truck!! (Specially the yellow corvette) Congrats man!! Your hard work is paying off. Let’s keep it going!!
Truck sounds awesome, that LSA whine is epic, i'm doing an LSA on my 5th gen ss, it has a GPI SS1 vvt cam, TSP 2 inch long tube headers and 3.91 gears, can't wait to get everything together
*WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE * Dude LT f**k yeah!!! I'm proud of you and the little blown 4.8 you earned it for sure. Drifting AWD Silverado...yes please. Great job, love the passion you have with these trucks. Awesome awesome job!!
I loved this video!! It was fun watching you build it but even more fun watching you prove your work!! Congratulations LT! I can't wait to see more 👍👍👍

Did you gap the rings
@@ECKO417 ugly???? Gtfoh
Yes, they are scammers using bots, they always show up on everyone’s videos to get victims.
The person spamming u must be one of the 6.2 owners u dominated with your 4.8.🥺
It blew my mind with how well this baby 4.8 performed, now that we have a baseline, we've gotta turn it up even more!
I say build up the 4L60
@@shadowopsairman1583 you don’t even know what that is
@@cadeflorez707 is has "60" in it, which means it can go higher right?
Congratulations dude !! Well done , great build. Now you need that big block race engine and come to back of the track in Darlington......
You need to upgrade to the 2019-2020 front breaks. It’s a big difference.
I was laughing out loud watching this 4.8 with a leaf spring rear, narrow tires ( for the track anyway) kick ass. Really nice driving 🇺🇲
Awesome!! You definitely earned that win.
Imagine what a bit of brakes, suspension and tires will do to that truck for this type of racing.
Oh yeah!

I went from an overheated system after every auto-x run to back-to-back-to-back runs with no issue (and no cooler)
I had someone else also recommend turn 1 steering, I’ll have to check em out.
Ide just get rid of the hole power steering stuff and go with a manual rack. they are so much better.
I’m very glad to see you continue what you were doing on the television shows. I think you’re a genuinely good guy and I like how you’re technical and goofy, at the same time.

This was too awesome. Watching a pickup put a spanking on these high dollar sports cars. Great work and great build. Big fan of the OEM type build.
I am so happy that this went well! You deserve the win with all the hard work! 👍🏻
Literally read my mind 👍🏾🤟🏽
Thank you so much!!

Brother I've been watching you for years you are a talented builder and the COPO stepside shows it off. Congrats to you
hey thanks a ton, I appreciate it!
I love the subtle "oh shit" when the corvette wrecked
It just goes to show. Work Smarter, not harder definitely paid off for you here LT!! No where else to go but UP my Friend! Congratulations on a very successful 1st outing with the COPO and for 1st Place! Cheers! Zip~
Was awesome to see that truck drag race and autocross this weekend, again sorry for taking your parking spot!
hey no worries! it was nice to meet you and check out your truck, I love the prerunner fenders
This proves you know what you're doing. Not only did the truck perform well it took the abuse with no issues. You did a fantastic job, I'm glad I found your channel early on.
Very impressive and quick truck. Loving the awd launches. Congrats on seeing all your hard work come to fruition.
Your brother has the beard going on! Awesome video Lawrence, great to see a garage built truck kicking some ass !!!!
Dude that thing absolutely rips. I vote you drag race this instead of the ugly truck!! Nice work. About that vette.... dude was probably just embarrassed or angry. Sucks, looked like a nice car
I KNEW a supercharger was the way to go with the Copo!
Way to go, LT!
And that supercharger makes a glorious noise!
it works so well!
@@LawrenceTolman that just solidifies my plan for my next build.
Going to body swap a Chevy 3100 five window onto a 2002 Yukon chassis.
Wow LT, your competitive side is showing! Congrats
I am so stoked for this build. I built the exact same thing in highschool except with 4:10's and a 6.0 lq9. No one believed me when I tell them the combo is that good now I can just show them this!

Thanks! And it would be awesome to see more awd based builds.
COPO Silverado is badass! Congratulations LT on your win
That was very cool to watch LT! Congrats on the 1st place that truck is way cool thanks for taking us along on the build
So bad ass LT!!! 😎🤜🤛😎This was a total blast to watch & you really got the initial dial in NAILED! Still can't believe how well it hooks, accelerates and turns...I need this truck!!😁

That’s awesome! Way to go LT. I’ve been following you since I saw you on TV. Keep up the good work!
I LOVE THAT TRUCK. It is a sleeper fast and quiet.
LT, your truck has an incredible launch!! With the new paint its so eye catching! Very well done! Be proud👍
Thanks 👍

Racing that corvette must have been pure adrenaline. Probably felt like penguin in the new Batman. Except you really got away. Poor guy. That was a nice car.
Awesome job LT! The smile tells the story.
💪💪💪
Incredible. What an absolutely INCREDIBLE performance- congratulations on this well earned and deserved victory LT. 👍
I've been watching your channel for a few months now and you did an amazing job on that AWD truck build. Congratulations on 1st place!
Honestly I'd love a channel of both of you together as a team
Nothing like a positive displacement blower!!!! And awd.
I love how versatile this truck is and that it is not just about being fast in a straight line.
And you could still move some furniture if you needed to
Good on you LT! Now you have a great centerpiece for your new shop. (If you can find one in this jacked up market)
Love the sound of the exhaust + the SC whine is on point!!!!!!
Man, that truck really hooks up. Leaves hard. Gotta love it.
Looks like all your hard work paid off, LT! I was really enjoying watching that 4.8 just eat the pavement against all the big boys. Congratulations, you deserve it! Thanks for sharing!!
Great jb! Love to see the truck blowing away the "sports cars". Dig the blower whine too!
Its was cool meeting you out at ls fest and good job at driving. She looks good with that wrap aswell
All that hard work paid off that smile on your face says it all.
Wow, you guys (you, truck, cameradocumenter brother) did really well. Indeed, AWD is the way, you really did build a successful COPO style factory race truck there.
Congrats on the win in her inaugural competition!!
Awesome! Video came together nicely. Sweet
Great job. can't wait to see you dial it in.
I pretty much had my mind set on a procharger for my 2wd RCSB step side but watching this makes me rethink it and go LSA. Nice job
You need a trofee shelf in your garage!! Love the build. Multiple purposes race truck/ car... put a camper in the back and you can go camping also! Put on To yo R888 tire! Those are DOT approved and can be used on roads!

thanks a ton!
Congrats LT badass truck. Shocking how fast it was in the quarter.
Thank you for using a 4.8l! Everyone usually wants the 6.0l. That awd was a smart move that truck what have been a handful with out it!
That thing was whooping ass on everything that lined up next to it!!
That must have been a great feeling.
Good work sir.
That AWD launches hard! Awesome truck! I also have a Black 2000 Silverado Stepside that I've had now for about 15 years. I have a fiberglass Tonneau cover for it as well.
Thanks for this build and all your videos i recently bought a 03 escalade lq9 6.0 awd and a 89 reg cab short bed v6 k1500.
Glad that 4L60 held up!!!! Awesome video
Loving the blower whine on your truck. Low 12's and handling too. Nice job👍
Funny. I saw you at ls fest and said hi. I keep looking for the truck but didn’t know it was orange now. No wonder why I never found you.
I just watched the video. I was literally right in front of you in my Camaro. To funny.
Awesome video, first your brother Mark did a great job on being the camera guy not because we both have the same name. LoL In addition you just have shown that GM should of built a truck all wheel drive with a supercharger, they missed the boat ride. I sure hope some of the people at gm saw this video.

Great videos as always. Truck done amazing and im blown away how thr 4.8 held up and how quick off the line it was. I need an awd truck in my life now
Good for you!!!!Now to update the suspension.
As I watch this, your choice in color for the truck, grows on me...
Truck did awesome, really surprised me!
U did a awesome build on this truck, looking forward to the suspension setup
Ridetech has a Fox front shock for a 4WD GMT800. Probably the most performance oriented shock you'll find for that application. They might even be able to custom valve something for you. They have a big front sway bar too.
A front end over haul double adjustable shocks big sway and brakes and this will do everything really well
Great job LT!
I guess if your brother uses Keeps on his beard, that stuff must really work!
🤣
No better way to get exposure to the channel than some free advertising in the form of kicking some high $$ build butt.

Big Congrats!!! Always a great day when David(or LT) slays the giants!!
Truck sounds awesome, that LSA whine is epic, i'm doing an LSA on my 5th gen ss, it has a GPI SS1 vvt cam, TSP 2 inch long tube headers and 3.91 gears, can't wait to get everything together
SmittyBuilt model 2781 with 5.65 cfm is a must when racing with truck tires. GL
I’ll have to grab one!
nice LT, proud of that chevy, i want one. excellent work as always. Superb job man 4 real
Never 👎🏽 cut the plug level to the tire thread. Alway leave 3/8-5/8 of an inch of the plug to blend in with the tire thread. I use “Red Devils”.
Highly suggest a holley hydramat for keeping the pump feed. It will suck anything up it can touch
Amazing performance from that little stepside with blower!!!!
*WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE *
Dude LT f**k yeah!!! I'm proud of you and the little blown 4.8 you earned it for sure. Drifting AWD Silverado...yes please. Great job, love the passion you have with these trucks. Awesome awesome job!!
I have been going back and forth between a late model Camaro and a truck awd build. This seals the deal. Were going truckin!
Thats a badass truck and its shows with the bad ass results! Cant wait to see whats next Lawrence!
also it looks to me like the yellow vette money shifted which is why the rear locked and he hit the wall
That was so awesome!! love watching trucks beat up on cars where they should excel!! Great work
I loved this video!! It was fun watching you build it but even more fun watching you prove your work!! Congratulations LT! I can't wait to see more 👍👍👍
I keep a can of tire fix with me always really helps pump up tire faster to help pump and if you have to plug tire it helps seal
12.1!!!! Damn son! That truck is kicking ass
Well done, awesome build, great content!
Thank you kindly!
