![ЛЕБЕДЕВ у ДУДЯ: муху не обманешь 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E74h5fvVrqs/mqdefault.jpg)
A cab is much shorter than the bed so 4 cab mounts are plenty and thats the standard for all 2 door pickups
I'm glad you are able to do this when you are young. When I was young I had all the energy and some decent experience but, zero cash. Now I'm pushing 50, tons more experience, disabled, worn out and still broke. Do it now! You might get hit by a bus tomorrow! Love your ambition!
Exactly the same thing with me. Do it now
Same with me
I'm in the same boat Oak. I'm 53 with a 30 year tobacco habit, and lots of messed up joints and soft tissue damage from years of hitting it hard. Search water fasting, on YT. Nothing will heal the body faster ime. I'm on day 3 of a 21 day water fast right now. It's hard, but it works, and it gets easier. Google "Autophagy"
Same here, body destroyed at 44 from Ankylosing Spondylitis cannot even change a wheel now but enjoy watching other people doing what I use to love.
That's right you never know what tomorrow brings. Do what you can today.
I have been watching for a long time. Up to this point, you still show your honest desire and love for cars. You treat them with respect and invest in them which is why your builds are quality. I just wanted to wish you prosperity, strength(working on cars can be stressful and cause fatigue), and that this passion operates fully in all other aspects of your life. Your an inspiration Alex for all us car guys whether we are just spectators or seasoned technicians. Showing us all how 'No Fear All Love' looks like.
Alex Rebuilds, Thanks for the shout out! Us little guys appreciate you! 👍🏼 You’re seriously awesome dude!
Worked in a frame straightening shop, seen much worse come out good. Your truck now, do what you feel is right. And you can get a set of Delphi water tight connectors and put quick connects wherever you want them. Keep up the good work!
Alex when you pick stuff up with forks and a strap on the end of the forks clamp the tip with a pair of vice grips so the straps cant slide off the end of the forks if the cab had fallen on the engine WOW the costs of fixing that much more i learned the trick loading huge cab sized valve bodies
with your new frame you should consider getting it powder coated the same green as the body would be a great custom touch
Great job young man. This project is a very good idea for your rebuild videos. Thanks for sharing your experience with rebuilding this project.
Hey Alex.I was a collision tech for 43 years .I specialized in chevy pu 1987. GM procedure allowed repairing frames on early models like yours.Spec tolerance +/- 3/16 inch of center line.Catch is no heat allowed behind the suspension sub frame.It is a custom frame so really study repairing before trashing it.Your cab is fine.
Didn’t know you were so close. I’m in Columbia. Proud to see a Guy from South Carolina doing work.
Yessir. I'm in Chuck town
Should of tied a string to cable under carpet before pulling it out. Then leave the string under carpet to rethread wiring back into place.
Wires and vibration don't mix very well and I was surprised to see so many that were left only protected by wire loom. Do yourself a favor when you re-assemble and get some rubber grommets for those pass-through's. It will protect and provide an overall cleaner look. You will also want to get the lower cover for just below the where the steering column pass through the cab as that's going to be a source of engine heat, water and debris from driving. Good luck on the build and you can make it even better!
Patrick Burke this is something I noticed as well and was a bit shocked to see no grommets used for some of that wiring.
That’s because Richard Rawlings is a hack!!!!!
There was rubber grommets and protection on the wires I just removed it before showing it on camera.
Alex Rebuilds thanks for clarifying this.
@@nobodyspecial6436 Richard didn't build the truck...the monkeys did...if you pay attention, Alex explains things in the video and in comments as well...
Clicked for the Gas Monkey C10.
Subbed cuz this dude is a legit honest builder and I respect that. I already learned a lot I didn't know in just a few videos.
@@jerydnoblett121 I know there's other really legit builders on UA-cam. Just saying we don't really know every detail of his process though. Maybe he films ands edits as much as he can. I just meant as a UA-camr, he's explaining his own mistakes and expectations without editing it out like he knows everything.
@@WolfWould Oh yea, I agree. I cant say that its easy to film EVERY single action you do, and I wont knock him for that. He does have good content for sure! I sub'd as well.
@@jerydnoblett121 I also over positive my comments though lol I get excited about the truck and I'm stoked for this guy to build it back up. But he does miss a lot obviously not knowing exactly what he's getting into but seem to recover very well so far on the videos I've seen. What are some other channels if you don't mind, I'll check them out!
@@WolfWould I frequently watch B is for Build and my favorite, Amplified / SoundManCa. Other than that, its alot of DIY/Woodworking stuff. Cars are my #1 passion, but I have to suppress what I watch, otherwise, I get too many "good ideas"... HAHA! I just need to start my own UA-cam with all the crap I do. Im sure someone would watch me.
@@jerydnoblett121 Definitely start one. It's the niche content that blows up I've noticed. I'm just goofing around on my channel.
Glad the cab wasn't ruined. That definitely saves you a bunch of fab work. Keep up the great work.
I also had a very similar hit on my 75 C-10. Swapping frames as we speak. Watching your tear down is very informative. Keep it up!
AARON SPENT PLENTY OF HOURS GETTING ALL THOSE AIR LINES RIGHT.
Oy vey!
When it comes to fishing out wires, I would have tied a string or some mechanics to that cable before I pulled it out and left it there under the carpet and sticking it out the cab until I was ready to reinstall it. Then when ready to install all you’d have to do is tie it back to the cable and pulled it back into position.
Like others have mentioned, I think a good frame guy could straighten that frame saving you lots of time and money. Keep up the good work!
I would not waste my time with that frame thers a ton of these frames out ther who would want to take a chance it would never track right
Man, you're taking on one hella ambitious project. I know, for you, it's one piece/one challenge at a time and your confidence will get you through it. Like Mr. oak 1971, I admire your ambition.
You got to admire the work that went into building this truck! You have a great one to rebuild!!!
Big Monkey fan. Love this truck & your re-build videos are fun to watch. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Bravo excellent good job well done i cant wait to see more of the progress as it moves forward to complete the rebuild up on the C-10
The can is ok. Shut the doors check the gap on the doors if it's ok then from what i see the cab is fine
GMG does some quality work. No short cuts anywhere.
Lol ur kidding rite🤣
Here's a build I can relate to , been watching since you got this truck , my first truck was a 78 super Cheyenne short bed , smoked everything it came across, camaroes , mustangs and vettes . Thanks Alex for doing this one .
I am with you, i have been rebuilding an 86 k10 for 7 years. It was my fathers first new truck and the truck i learned to drive in.
Sonik
@@Adriansitos623 , that is great , I'm on my 75th silverado build now , I love Chevy pickups.
I had a 1979 GMC SHORT BOX then I got a 1974 GMC stepside truck I love both truck's and they were nice looking my Fleet side I had moon rims with wide Dunlops tires it was a dark gray color the back window's slide open I own that truck for 13 year's then sold it because to fund my 1972 GMC Suburban 3 door I still own that wagon that's my car show suburban I couldn't bring myself to sell it I done way to much work to it and replaced a lot of parts to make it look like a new truck.
I believe it's diffrent when someone else does all the work then it's easier to let it go for a price. I saw another one that came close to being like mine this guy in San Francisco was selling his for $ 14,000 sounds like a lot but after taxes so it would be much lower.
@@snoopu2601 , I bet you wished you still had em , I know I miss some of the ones I sold over the years . Now a days they are hard to find worth rebuilding, I'm looking for a 70s or 80s model k 10 shortbed to restore and keep .
Hey Alex. To re glue that carpet down I use 3m Super 77 spray adhesive. Spray the floor and carpet separately. Wait about 5-10mins to allow the glue to dry and become tacky and then stick the carpet back down.
Awesome stuff Alex. I love what you are doing here. Keep up the great work!!!
Alex I’m so proud of you. Good luck and I’ll see you in the next video. Big fan of your channel
Yep I like to see these young men working, too many drugs in my area took a hold on many of our young men.
I would’ve disconnected the master from the booster. Less mess
Awesome rebuild good luck can't wait to see it finished
Alex, when fishing cables under carpet... attach a string or piece of wire to the end. When you pull it, leave that string or wire in its place. When the cab goes back on, just reverse the process and you won't have to pull the carpet up. Food for thought.
Great work so far👍 only thing that caught my attention is the old school fuse box. I wonder why it wasn't upgrade to the mini fuses.
Alex, if you are not doing so - start documenting with pictures all these/those electrical connections and mechanical connections. It will be a Hugh time saver for you on reassembly! Also show those products they send you a little more in your vids. Good Luck with this rebuild - it should yield one fine ride when your done!
Awesome video Alex! Can’t to that c10 running again.
The gas money videos didn't show just how great their builds were. No shortcuts and everything looks super clean as you're dissecting it. I'm really impressed by their work
Jeah Alex, you will rock this built, I am looking forward for the next videos!!!
I think the one great thing about these videos is you have a reference to go back to oh yeah and you're sharing them with the world and everyone thinks they're awesome.
Great to see that truck being re-worked! It was a nice piece till BOOM anyway.Good luck with it.Im new to the channel and enjoy the content.Keep it coming. Thanks
No rubber grommet in the hole in the floor. Good job GMG.
Great job staying with that cab removal. I would have gotten frustrated pretty quickly with all the wires coming out. Looking forward to the next one.
you have really done outstanding refitting this truck so far PS time is your friend now ,,,no time schedule, you were right Gas Monkey paint and body work spectacular
You’ve a lot of work ahead of you to complete this job.
Can’t wait to see how it goes
Keep up the good work 👍
I really like what your doing with this project please give us more updates with this build.
Cut the wiring harness, get a weather tech connector for the exact same number wires that’s in the harness. Connect the little metal pins to each wire end and solder them and insert them into each side of the weather connect connector so that they connect when you plug it back in when you’re ready to put it back together. As a mechanic that’s what I would do I think you can get the weather tech or weatherpack connectors from six dollars to $20 depending on how many wires you have to put together
It's a well built truck, I can tell they cared when rebuild it! Just hope you pay attention to the details they did building it! I'll be watching! DESERT
Between the original build and the rebuild you'll own the worlds most expensive C10. Cool stuff so far,thanks for the vids.
Amazing focus and work Alex. Very inspirational .
I'm digging this project and like the work you do, and I don't want to come off negative but I just need to say slow down, take a breath. You remind me of when your picked in grade school to read by the teacher and you try to get it done as soon as possible. Cant wait for the rest of this build!
fantastic work bud. keep up the great work. you have a big job ahead of you but you will be fine. I'm watching from Australia and cant wait for the next video. Try add some electrical connectors where ever cables go through the cab to make it easier for install or removal. good luck champ
Alex, you are awesome and you really know your stuff! You and DIYGang are my 2 favorite rebuild channels. Have you seen him, and his burnt Hellcat rebuild? Its THEE most epic rebuild ever. This C-10 one is awesome too. I love it when you guys fearlessly dive into these tough rebuilds. Peace bro.
Can't wait to see more of this truck greetings from Gastonia North Carolina not too far away
another great rebuild!
They're going to have to rename this build.'Twisted Mister".Good luck.
3M spray glue will hold the carpet down. - I too think a good frame mechanic could straighten that thing out for you.
Aaron was the brains behind the build Richard just paid the bills and owned the shop where it was built. Aaron designed the frame also in the truck
but I guess no one paid that much attention because they went google eyed over the truck. I give Aaron credit for the build and finally parting ways with
Richard to finally start his own Company. Arclight Fab Grand Prairie Texas 75050
I like the way the seat is made is pretty cool-looking the the way it's been upholstered
I'm inclined to think, that they never thought the truck would have to be re-rebuilt again so soon! Good luck with the build!
You can buy brand new frame rails online and all the crossmembers too. I would just cut all the rivets off the bad frame rail where it is held onto the cross members with an air chisel and replace just the front part of the driver side frame. The passneger frame rail can easily be repaired. It will be so much easier and cheaper to not have to renotch the frame and try to replicate all the custom work done by gmg. When you reassemble you can buy a tool to install new rivets from where you cut the old ones out.
Love the effort and working spirit, I will say that mostly everything can be fixed it all comes down to time and budget? like is it worthwhile to fix, I hear you say that can't be fixed and I get confused.. Anyway keep up the great work!! I'm enjoying xx
Nice......cab looks good.....almost like rebuilding the Viper.....keep up the awesome job!👍
I commend you for your efforts. Congratulations on your recognition. I could criticize but there is no need considering your experience level. Keep doing what you do.
Keep up the good job love watching video like the one you got showing you love from the south Bronx nyc can’t wait for some more from you ✌️
Great content as ever Alex...keep up the good work
Ya I would replace the whole truck frame, get a good straight frame.
Looks like Chevrolet put a "C" Channel frame in that pickup. What I would do is box (weld sides to the open "C" Channel to strengthen the frame giving a stronger frame, then add more tubular (square tube cross ties between left and right frame cross members.
Gas Monkeys should have done what I said above.
Don’t worry about the carpet. A good interior upholstery can deal with the carpet very easily!!
Don’t sweat the little stuff. It will drive you crazy. You are better than that.
Cheers
Great content Alex keep it coming loved the truck in Fast & Loud and think it’s a great concept to grow your channel.
Man Alex will take on some difficult projects. The viper now this truck. Good work man.
I know this is going to be a awesome project to do an fun doing love the green color 🎨💪🏾💪🏾
Great seeing this being brought back to life.
this truck is lit man its a fun to fix these type of modified trucks awsome
Wow I don’t know what to say but then video that you made a very awesome learn new things but also other old tricks to so keep up the good work can’t wait to your next video comes out thank you
Don't know how far you gotten on this project. And know your putting plenty of money in this. But as far as your carpet that was glued down. Spend a little more when you go back with the carpet and insulate the cab under the carpet for road noise. It's worth it. I like Gas Monkey, but they never do a complete restoration on their vehicle because they always have a timeline. I've worked at a restoration shop. And to do one can take 2 to 3 years to do it completely.
I love your video keep up the good work I like how u show us everything very good work man
Reminder to add this to your C10 playlist ;)
Great job! We appreciate your unique content.
looking forward to seeing those custom frame rails..... :) ... that is definitely the way to go.... also you may want to flatten out that screw sticking out of the bed that damaged the cab....so you don't get future damage like that.... before you build that custom frame, take a look at the specs for frame rails for the current silverado, denali, and Fseries trucks and make it at least 5% better if you can budget it..... and maybe put in some more frame mounts to secure the bed better and with better torque specs for the bolts.... as you said the denali had 8.....
Actually pretty surprised how well the truck was built. There is definitely room for improvement, but looks like good craftmanship knowing their time constraints.
Your videos just keep getting better every time! Keep it up just like you are doing now.
Damn I didn’t realized you are in Spartanburg sc. I’m in augusta ga. One day I’ll try stop by and say hello. Cool build. Looks like good work from gmg.
David Russell I’m in Augusta to small world
@@brianbsilverado Augusta Ga here too
Damn I didn’t know he was there I live in Columbia Sc
Alex,when you pull wire,[pull small end out ]-attach a string to it, half hitch it tape it.then when your done,use that string to pull it back in,
Dude! The music! It's like dancing through tulips! Demeaning to what you do.
Can't wait to see the frame rebuild
I love watching your videos! My only suggestion is that you often talk in a monotone voice. I love when you are talking just like you would a buddy in the shop. It sounds more natural and a much more enjoyable audio experience. I hope that makes sense. I doubt you will ever see this but love the videos bro!
He talks like a robot and it gets hard to even listen sometimes
I’m sooo glad the cab was not damaged, can’t wait to see how this truck turns out...
Duck why you spoiled lol
You got yourself one heck of a project Alex. It might be a nice touch to get a couple of weather pack connectors for making it easier for the next time. You can call this one "Twisted Monkey Truck"
Great video Alex perhaps invest in a Gimble, that will fix the shaky screen that you have ,as well try to invest in a clip on microphone that way your voice won't disappear when you walk away from the camera
Finally a video super excited 👌
Im a body man of 30+ years and as I said in your bring home vid. The frame is diamond. Fix the back of the cab and replace the frame and you need a left front knee assembly (suspension)
Great video bro. I hope you decide to keep that awesome truck. I think you deserve it.
glad you are saving it! lots of work but it will b well worth it
Nice work out Alex, let's keep it going, good job...
When fishing out that wire in the cab, tie a long string on the end. When you pull the wire the string will be in left in its place so when you want to put the wire back you just tie it to the wire and pull it back in place.
That custom work makes things more complicated but u got this 👌
Can you straighten the frame
@@ArthurJScott it's not worth fixing a frame like that
The only thing you had to do was attaching some rope in the end of your wire, leaving the rope instead of the wire. Then you attach again and pull from the other side. Simple and extremely effective
its refreshing seeing some old school muscle on here. Good to see you not taking off 30 parts to get to everything LOL
Looks like you're going to be one with the C10 just like the Viper. Looking good.
Brake fluid and gloves work very well together btw.
Can't wait for part 4 👍
Great work thanks for sharing
👍🏻Great rebuild love to see
We want more classic car 😍😍😍
