Thanks so much!
other people wait for their weekly TV show to come on . I wait for your videos . super motivating video man . keep it up .
Thanks so much for the support. It means a lot
Digging both trucks. Aluminum heads on the 350 with a nice roller cam
Thank you. Good suggestions!
Ok, remember you asked….green? No. Bagged like everyone, no. Low profile tires on 20’s, no. So anything but green, static drop, 3 front 4 rear. Fat tires, 15-8 front 15-10 rear. Ok, do whatever you like, that’s why we live here! Love your content!
Hahaha. I appreciate it. Everyone has their own flavor. Thanks for watching.
Looks good so far!
Thanks
Cool!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Color matched N1 Textured Coating in the bed!
That’s actually something I was thinking about!
I really like the Dakota rtx, i think that will look great in that interior. Also thank you for building these as a driver. That is my goal for my 65 which I've had for almost 30 years. My first car.
I want to build all my stuff to drive and enjoy. Thanks for watching.
@@SIMPLE.C10 I really love your content, seriously straightforward, no nonsense, and very inspiring thanks man!!
@@user-up3xw2te4s I appreciate it!!
Looking forward to the build!
Thank you!
Love your videos bro.. so excited for lucky’s build 💪
You and me both!
Awesome, I’ve been waiting for the next one. Looks like it’ll be another home run. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks a lot
You should do the wood with metal trim in the bed,
Good idea.
Great looking garage
Thank you. Just redid it right before this truck.
Great start. I would suggest driving the he'll out of it til something breaks then fix rinse and repeat
Thanks for watching!
I would do a serpentine belt setup and maybe a Holley sniper and just clean it up, hide wires, ect. Maybe paint engine bay in a charcoal color with a matt finish. Just lil accents with a pop of color. Maybe some brass fittings here and there to give it a little flair.
You got part of the plan right! Thanks for you feedback.
Possibly change bench seat to bucket seats and build a center console for the interior, change from 3 on the tree to a 5 speed. Engine valve covers and air cleaner maybe paint to match with some old school pin striping.
Thanks for the feedback!
Bout time 😂 gonna be nice!!
Brooooo. lol. Thanks.
Excited for this build!!!!……I’ve been looking for a first gen too….how much money will I need to save for this one when it’s done?…..really dig your channel and I feel I really need one of your vehicles if I can afford 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much! It’s really hard to price a truck before I really get to see it finished but I would guesstimate around $60k would buy it. It’s going to be a special truck!
Yup yup …sounds about right…… might have to travel to Tennessee……we’ll see👍🏻
Dude I love these trucks, it's funny you call it lucky I have a a squarebody suburban that I call lucky. But love your content, with that being said as far as 350 engine I would do a Holley efi on it, 700r4 or 4l60e , your gonna bag it that will be cool. I really like the chrome trim band that goes down the side that would be cool to do on lucky but up to you. Oh I would do electric fan set up as well. The band you can bring the color from the inside to outside for the color.
You nailed everything I plan to do. Thank you!
Can't wait to see more.. the black out kit is what I would do as well.
Holley EFI with the Holley mid drive set. 700R trans
That’s exactly what I got for it
@@SIMPLE.C10 Perfect 👌
-How about two toggle switches, one for some color change led backlight & a tucked away kill switch security feature, also maybe some tweeters
lol. I can’t tell if you’re joking or serious.
Cool build! For your next build can you do a 60-62? I would like to see what you do with those frames.
I would like to do a 60-62 eventually!
I been thinking the same thing a friend of mine has a 60 he wants to part with I'm just wondering how much of a pain the frame and torsion bar setup is going to be.
@@rpiii3755 I am currently running torsion bar with a CPP drop spindles. I also have it adjusted for a 4in drop in the front. I have a 78 front end I'm planning o swapping soon with a 350. .
@johnz3049 awesome
Love what you’re doing with these year trucks.
What shocks are you using for the hood?
Pn#. Brand?
Thanks
I’ve partnered up with an individual building the shock kits. Not sure about the information yet.
Nice truck. While the Interior paint looks well done, I’m not diggin the color. I’d think a light grey would be a better compliment to the green.
Thanks for the feedback. The cream looks pretty good in person. If it wasn’t so well done I might change it but it’s not an eye sore enough to completely change it. Who knows though! Haha.
If I’m not running anything beside my 350m\ SBC, do I have to run an extra battery for the two air compressors I will be installing soon?
You don’t have to but it’s nice to have! Francis only has one and does great.
Why did you remove the sway bar?? Please enlighten me.
Seay bar doesn’t work well with this setup. It’s not needed either.
Hey brotha. What brand bulkhead 90 fittings did you use?
Jienk 2Packs Bulkhead Elbow 3/8" x 3/8" Tube OD Push to Connect Tube Fitting, PLM-3/8 Bulkhead 90 Degree Elbow Pneumatic Quick Connect Air Fitting a.co/d/9pVZ2GW
Why did the sway bar have to go? does it not work with the bagged set up?
Not with this setup. Don’t really need it for what I do. You can get a drop member and run a sway bar.
@@SIMPLE.C10 So I am guessing just cruising and normal HI way driving a sway bar isn't needed. Thanks!!!
@ritchiemason9069 yea I’ve never ran one but I just cruise and enjoy it.
Put a holley sniper 2 on it and a Trans
You nailed it.
Tan carpet and seat
That would look good! Trying to tie in the black engine bay a little with the interior but totally undecided about inside the truck. Thanks for your feedback!
Have you tried a gen 4 ls and 4l60e?
Wish I could afford that. The last truck has an ls1 that I redid and cost me crazy money to build. Thats why I’m just going simple with the fuel injected 350. It should turn out super clean though. Have you done an LS?
@@SIMPLE.C10 no I haven't yet, lots of gen 1 small blocks. But I have a donor in which I'm still paying off the loan. An 07 suburban. Planning on using that drivetrain and stock harness and ecm and tcm. I need to do the active fuel management delete first. Then 2wd output shaft swap for the 4l60e. Those transmissions aren't too difficult to rebuild either. I do all my own work. I really need to get my c10 going, it's been long enough and I'm not getting any younger.
Install the 3H system!!!
I may do the 3H on my next build.
What shocks do you recommend? I'm thinking I needs shocks because my 65 feels a little to bouncy. I have a 65 bagged
The 3 inch drop shocks linked on my air ride guide I like. What size bags do you have on the front of your truck?
I have an ez air ride kit. I believe the bags are 9.7 inch stroke, dominator D2600 is what it says in the website. Hopefully that answers your question.
@@derricknelson3396 yes. I was making sure you had 2600 up front. Do you still have factory shocks? If so, go to www.simplec10.co and click AIR RIDE GUIDE I have all the things I use there. The shocks are on the list.
No I'm currently running after market lowering shocks but the ride is still too bouncy.
Thank you! I'm going to check that out
Looks like all the interior needs is air
That’s about all I’m doing to it to start. May do cab corner speakers.
Yes!!! That would be nice
