I just finished building the fuel system, transmission, and engine. It's no longer LS1 but it's a gen 4 6.0 LQ9 with some go fast mods. Imma do an update video.
@@jnork5005 just watched your new video. That is one clean truck and a hell of a nice drivetrain build. I’m sure it smokes the tires off just as well as mine does lol when you said tired of putting money into for it right now….I sure felt that lol
@@andrewayersman6923 lol. I go through phases. Right now, I'm finished. I want to do vintage air and run that BMR front and rear coilover setup but I gotta chill it awhile.
Man that is a beautiful truck…..nice build…i have a similar one but white and its a ‘73 with a vortech supercharged 5.3……i like that seat idea…i might have to look into doing that……mine has a terminator X system with a 220/220 cam , 3000 stalled th350 with 12 bolt 3.73 rear….it scoots….i have a 370” LQ9 that im gonna put in there once i finish building my 408 to replace the 370” thats in my nova…its a 11.15:1 compression LSA supercharged motor and it runs like hell!!!
If I did it over I'd use a 2 stage system and spray it with a satin clear instead of a single stage urethane. I'm running Basset race wheels now, but I like the smoothies or stock dog dish look
Mine was an hight Sierra 81 locking the same with 4 beam in the front and a car bumper in the rear but with huge rubber at each corner and with electric windows. I should have keep it 🥰🤑
I think the wheel and tire package would have been fine it I had a larger tire. I've since changed the wheels to Bassett Inertia with 275/60/15's all around. Looks pretty sporty. I have a newer video where you can see it.
That’s clean man. I’m building one on my UA-cam channel as well. It’s a GMC as well same year and I’m putting a 6.0/4L80e BTR stage 2 cam. I picked it up rattle canned matte black but I want to get it painted with a satin finish.
Nice. I just built this 4L60E with all 4L70 internals and added the Sonnax close ratio 6 pinion planetary and added a couple clutches to the 3-4 drum and made a bunch of pressure modifications. I hope it holds up 😬. If you do it, use a base coat/clear coat and use a satin clear. Easier to lay than this single stage. Good luck with it! Hard to find these trucks now.
Building an 82 GMC Sierra just like it, only has single headlights. Put in a dbw stock 6.0 and a 4L80E. Thinking about putting on a hydrovac brake booster, have a couple of them.

Beautiful fkin truck buddy, saw the thumbnail and it drew me right in, had an 83 all black w a 454 in my teens but unfortunately she rolled once or twice, wasn't as nice tho. Seeesh 🤩🤤
My dad has an 86' K10 we are going to start working on after the first of the year. So I might throw up some video of it too. I just finished rebuilding the drive line and rewiring mine. I'll do a video soon.
@@jnork5005 That's great bro, so many guys invest in their rides then sell them for whatever reason. I have an OBS....92, I'll have it til I check out!!
Are you going to boost it? I ran a boosted 5.3 that melted #7 piston twice on 93 Oct. Narrowed it down to the coolant cross over. Truck motors don't have a crossover and I had an air pocket and melted that piston twice pointed at the water jacket. Also, tune it for E85 and you won't regret it.
If u never got a antenna man I got one u can have I have a 1982 gmc long bed the daddy to urs it’s a 2500 long bed with 454 beast black on black but u got a badassssss truck too
They were 17x9, Jegs Baja 8's I think. Something like that. I bought some Basset Race Wheels and have a different setup now. I should be posting a video soon after I get this motor assembled.
@jnork5005 it's a great looking stance! What was the drop? More I thought about it I don't want to slam it.. I'm looking to do a shackle and hanger only drop in the rear I can get 4 inches out of that mostly because I want all the travel. For the front just a 3 inch drop spindle
@fr3k5h0w it's 4/6. Spindle and cut springs up front and a flip kit in the rear. I'm running 15x8 op front and 15x10 in the rear with 275/60/15s all the way around. I have a video or 2 with that setup on my page. I like that look more
@jnork5005 oh yeah man, lots of rubber and width. I do like that as well but I don't want to lower it too much. Also don't like too much wheel gap is why I'm choosing 17's with decent meat on em. Going between a 3/4 drop with spindles/shackles and hangers Vs flip kit and spindles with lowering springs but I'd like to retain all the suspension travel. Leaning with no flip kit
@JNork I heard you say that you do tuning and I was wonder info you hand a contact info for some business? Also if you don't mind what is the camshaft part number?
I don't have the part number but it's the "Tsunami" camshaft from Texas Speed. I don't typically do tunes on any past Bolton. It gets too time consuming and a lot of people aren't good mechanics so I end up troubleshooting all their problems. Lol
@@jnork5005 ua-cam.com/video/8hzJ_XgSSdE/v-deo.html this is my car with the conventional motor in it. I want to swap it that why I was asking about the tuning. I did all my work.
I used the factory frame and welded brackets for the new seat to bolt to. I'm 6'3 so I didn't need any adjusters and mounted it solid to the floor. It still flips forward to get behind the seat tho
Either Amazon or Ebay. I want to say they were around 80bux. You have to get longer screws for the beauty rings and the fit into the stock bucket. You will also have to run harness adapters to use your stock chassis harness. They are super nice though
It's hard to say. Depends on a lot of variables. My truck is torn down again. I'm in the process of building the turbo hot side piping and T56 swap. So it'd be awhile before I could get to it. I'm in Florida also

Looks good I just got me one and I can’t wait to fix her up thanks for sharing your ideas .🔥🔥🔥
This is a beautiful truck. Honestly it looks stunning with the way it is now without paint. Very nice job!
Beautiful truck man very clean and straight you did a great job on it.
The third row seat is a great idea!! 💡 it looks custom made for it!
this is a peace of art no joke the looks are insane I like it
Thanks, I appreciate it!!
Looks good just the way it is. It doesn't need any trim
This is probably my favorite interior that I’ve seen on a square body.
Simple and clean
I’m not always the biggest fan of black paint jobs but that looks sharp! Beautiful pickup
Honestly, I would if chose white but I didn't want to repaint the dash 😆
Beautiful Job. You are amazing brother Really Nice and Clean Job
Sounds really good! I love the Black widows on my square body!!
Kool truck that seat looks really good in it
Beautiful truck! Can't wait to finish my 84
Thanks, I've got it torn down building the engine. Taking video and should have something put together to post when it's all done
Incredible build. Super clean.
Wow what a beautiful truck and bunch of goodies on it cheers
Check out my new video. It's even better now
Nice touch with the Burb 3rd row.
I love this truck! Nice work!
Sounds nice. Think I’ll put these on my 08 Silverado once I rebuild the ls into something mean 💪
Gorgeous truck.
Dime of a truck🔥 nice build. Subbed
So beautiful!!
Nice work! One of my favorite trucks.
Men I really love you truck looks awesome 😎 more videos of that beauty, also you have a new subscriber.
The fact after all the work, you left the same door chime makes you a boss.
Are you pleased with the results? Looks good on video
@Adrian Wright I love it. I did a build a while back, and trust me, I did everything I could to keep the door chime just to through people off.
Sounds and looks awesome. Nice build. Subbed
Nice clean look thanks sir

Love that seat...
Very nicely done.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Man that was a good idea for seats! They look great and i wouldn't have guessed third row seats.
I been seeing them around more often now days. The back seat of a 14 up crew cab looks really good too. It's low back.
@@jnork5005 Good info! Trying to figure what I'm putting in my 67, if I can ever get it on the road...
Just chip away at it. 1 small project at a time. It took be 3 years to get it on the road. It's down again and I'm swapping in a manual transmission.
Love that look. I want the same color with chrome smoothies on mine someday
If I did it over I'd use a 2 stage system and spray it with a satin clear instead of a single stage urethane. I'm running Basset race wheels now, but I like the smoothies or stock dog dish look
Beautiful truck man
I love it..I just got done putting a LS in My 03 dodge Dakota.....
LS Swap the world. Unbeatable value compared to other swaps
Any way you can make a video on the seat installation, it looks great.

Awesome build. What did u do about the drive shaft
I had one made. Steel with Spicer joints
Nice truck!!! can you send the paint code? She looks damn good
It's "KIRKER BLACK SATIN" it's a single stage and they only make 1 black satin and you can buy it as a kit.

Where did you get the dash from ? Sweet ride
It's Dakota Digital. It was ordered from one of their suppliers, just don't remember which. I'd have to dig up the receipt.
What seats did you bolt to the OEM seat fram, and are they comfortable on long drives?
I've taken it on 3-4 hr rides and it's fine if you like a firm seat like I do. It's the 3rd row seat out of a 2014ish Tahoe

Can you tell me what year Tahoe the seat is out of? Thanks.
2015 I think. I think the rear seat out of a crew cab 2014 up silverado would fit better since the back isn't tall.
Is it a satin clear to get the matte finish?
It's a single stage satin finish from kirker.
Where did you get those headlights I have to know
Either Amazon or Ebay. I want to say they were around 80bux. You have to get longer screws for the beauty rings and the fit into the stock bucket. You will also have to run harness adapters to use your stock chassis harness. They are super nice though
How much would you charge to do another truck like that with a 355 instead of a ls?
