    2 years ago we bought this 76 GMC K15 4x4 pickup truck and after getting it running again after beeing parked for 40 years we quickly realized that the four wheel drive didn't work, the transmission was burnt up, and it had no brakes! So in this video we are going to start the restoration process by replacing everything in the brake system, putting it on 35's on 15x10's, and pulling the turbo 350 and NP203 transfer case so that we can rebuild it. Much more to come on this truck so stay tuned.

      I know, at 11 my little girl was all about helping Dad build her a jeep. A few years later and make-up is all the rage and jeep discussions turn into which color shades of pink to paint it.
      Those kids seem to enjoy themselves in the garage doing a variety of things. Its the togetherness through it all that is inspirational to me.

  • @chevyfan82

    Your truck has a np203 transfer case it's a all-wheel drive truck with the ability to lock the front and rear outputs together making it a true 4 x 4 transfer case. When the transfer case is in high or low range it will turn both front and rear outputs, but due to an internal differential inside the transfer case it will allow the power to go to the axle that spins. When put in high or low Lock the differential is bypassed and the transfercase is like a regular transfercase driving both outputs equally.You can buy a kit rather cheap that will convert it two a part-time transfercase. This makes it very unique as you will have two-wheel drive high and low range and then four-wheel drive high and low range. Definitely go ahead and fix that ol GMC up 👍

      @@GaryCrawford-v9s 509 blocks are more common in earlier to mid-70s along with the 511 blocks in the later 70s they got the 817 400 blocks. One thing about the 400 is you were going to run into more differences than a normal small block Chevy especially on the earlier 509 and 511 blocks. Some have three freeze plugs per side some have two per side some are four bolt main caps some are two Bolt main caps, and then the decks can have a wide variety in cooling passages. In almost all of them you really don't know what you have until you pull it apart. If you were looking to build one the one you want is a 509 block with two bolt main. The problem with most of the 4 bolt mains is they tend to crack around the main caps do to the larger bore cutting into the meat arount the bolt caps. if you push much over 450hp but some have lived well over 500 hp. With a 2 bolt cap block you can get splayed caps which will eliminate the cracking issue.

    I had that same truck. It's an all-time ALL WHEEL DRIVE and it kicks out of All wheel drive when you exceed 45 miles per hour it goes into 2wd. The high lock and low lock puts it in actual 4x4. A lot of people took the Locking hubs out so it was just all-time two-wheel drive because they are gas Hogs and all-wheel drive

Ralphie and Wawa open Dad's bodyshop and repair, Squeeze runs the paint dept. I like this idea.

    I have a tip for you when reassembling drum brakes. If you’re having trouble getting the nail and retaining spring together to hold the shoe…just use a c-clamp to hold the shoe in place and this will make it much easier. I do this when I do drum brakes and it makes life easier. Keep safe and God bless.

    We had a 3/4 ton 1979 GMC Suburban (yes, they used to call both Chevy and GMC Suburban back then, not Yukon). It had the full time 4 wheel drive. Basically, since it had 4 wheel drive all the time, if you were in "Hi" position, the transfer case would act as the spider gears in a differential, transferring power between front and rear so as not to wear out your tires or cause strain on things going around corners like when you would do 4 wheel drive on dry pavement if you had locking hubs. When you shift into "Hi-Loc", it takes that spider gear differential effect out of the transfer case and locks into regular 4 wheel drive like when you have locking hubs. We had our '79 Suburban converted to locking hubs from full time 4 wheel drive. I think you may have to change something in the transfer case to remove that spider gear differential effect or you may not be able to move with transfer case in "Hi" and hubs not locked. You might look into that but that's what I recall it being explained to me as a young teen in the late 1980's.
    Ok. Edited comment after watching the last of the video. I say don't shorten the wheelbase. Word on the street years ago was shorter wheelbase on this era truck makes them more squirrely on slick areas a like mud or ice. Second reason is, EVERYONE is shortening half ton trucks! One of these days, the shortbed fad will fade and then everyone's gonna want a long bed and they'll all be gone! After the fad wears off, your longbed will be worth a million bucks.

    Great videos and I enjoy watching you and the entire family. Keep those videos coming. The correct way to pack a wheel bearing is all about making sure the grease gets where it’s needed most. It’s not just about rubbing grease on the outside of the rollers but ensuring it passes through the inside of the bearing and fills the cage completely. Using the palm of your hand is the best method-scoop some grease into your palm and press the edge of the bearing into it repeatedly until you see the grease squeezing through to the other side. This ensures every roller is thoroughly coated, which is crucial for proper lubrication, preventing wear, and ensuring long-lasting performance.

    • @dougtodd305

    The front diff hub lock removal was something people did a lot back in they day if the couldn't afford the conversion kit to covert from all time 4wd to 2wd part time 4wd setup. Just a way to save gas till you need it in the field and theyd put the front diff hub lock back in. If i were you id make that thang into a Fall Guy truck like the one in the show from the 80s. Wheels are already very similar. Leave the long bed i think thats just sweet like the truck in the show. Sweet rig and a fun show if you want some good classic television. Another tip if you dont want to cut stuff next time 32 or 32.5 is the tire size to go with. Biggest size without the trouble and my favorite size for a muscle truck or an off road rig. Also Goat! 🤘

    When you put the transfer case in the lock position, the transfer case is locked in low range or high range.
    When in the non lock position, you are still in 4 wheel drive. But when you let up on gas, the transfer case free wheels.
    Mile Marker used to sell a gear kit that goes in the transfer case,#501. They still do!
    If you have the bolt together gear case,you will need to grind the inside so it will bolt together.
    That is the new process 203 transfer case you folks are working on. 10/40 motor oil is the lube that it uses. Because of the drive chain in the 203.
    A 4 inch lift kit maybe needed for the proper clearance of the 35's.
    Enjoy the videos alot! Especially having the kids involved. Wonderful memories being made for you all!

That truck is also a Perfect candidate to teach & show off your body skills Done proper & not the Pole Barn way. Not that nothing is wrong with that, yet, you know what i mean. They make patch panels for them. Not sure if i've seen you do actual rust repair with the kids. Anyway, i enjoyed this vid & hope you bring it back to Glory. Ty for taking us along

The guys better know their stuff when Wawa starts dating because if their vehicle breaks down they would have to have her fix it! Now that would be a video I would watch. 😂

Unfortunately the cancer treatment left me severely disabled so I didn't get to teach him how to work on vehicles. Luckily he has taken an interest in learning and is starting next month in a technical school taking auto mechanics.
    Thanks again for all the great videos!

    Ralphie's lathe could turn those drums very quickly. Those machines were intended for general automotive work like cutting drums and dish and polishing flywheels. You could use an axle stub to locate the drum in a three jaw chuck. You may want to buy the flaring tool other YT guys rave about; it takes all the risk out of getting a great double flare although you can still forget to put the nut over the tube and have to do it again.

    The Chevy square body has always been my favorite truck . I can see your family really having fun in this one . Get a good bed and hood and fix it up nice. It’s definitely worth it. Wa worked extra hard on this one and you can tell she’s ready to have fun in this truck. My wife and I have 3 daughters and none of them are car or truck lovers so I’m really happy that you have one that is. God Bless you all.

    I'm certain you've learned by now, but I'll help the algorithm. The "4 lock" was used on the "shift on the fly 4x4" option. You could partially engage the hubs on the fly, but they needed to be fully locked to use the 4x for any amount of time or major use.

    Should be an Np203 has a diff in it, lok locks it up. Should of had directions on the sun visor. The diff let's the front and rear rotate at different speeds to prevent binding during hard turns on high traction surfaces. The original front hubs were locked with a one piece collar and covered with the smooth cap like you had on one side. With the locking hubs unlocked you will have to run the transfer case in lock or it will only spin the front output. And with the transfer case in lok and the hubs unlocked you are still spinning everything up front it's just not connected at the hubs. Chain driven unlike the 205 part time gear driven unit. Hope this helps!

    Hi guys, for difficult bolts especially shallow headed ones I grind the face of the socket or spanner until you get rid of the bit without grip. Then you get full engagement on the bolt head, if they want to round off you are better off to use 6 point sockets or spanners with the ends ground flat. Keep up the good work, Cheers.

    Kudos to your patience with drum brakes! I used to tinker with those demon contraptions until my 95 Blazer. I could not for the life of me get the springs to stretch far enough and then stay on to get my rear brakes back together. It was that day I swore off drum brakes either forever, or until I at least had the installation tools. So far I've been lucky enough to no longer have a car with drum brakes, and I've got a job where I can comfortably afford going to a professional and letting them deal with it. The headache and amount of swear words used just ain't worth it!
