Pt.4 Chevy C10 Build | OUT WITH THE OLD FRAME - IN WITH THE NEW!

alright guys welcome to today's video and I appreciate all you guys ordering some of those quarantine and build shirts they are gonna be available on pre-order for the rest of the week so if you guys if you guys do head over to motion on TV comm and pick one of those up and I think ty we still have some stickers left yeah as of right now he asked a few more stickers we'll keep throwing stickers in yeah they right now so we have stickers basically the the turbos and the burnouts ones like the political stickers we're going to throw those in with each each order but yeah let's get let's get started today's video [Music] so in the last video you've seen us remove a kind of the donor cab or this donor vehicle we removed the body off of the oh wait envoy and basically got it pushed over here got a pressure washed and this thing is I think ready for a test fit but the only other thing we got to do is actually pull everything off of this so in order to do that this thing it has that SR that we just put in there for for a meme that one day so we have to pull that out real quick and then we're gonna basically pull off the bed set that to the side and put it up on the lift and then pull a cab so I'm actually not sure if we need to remove the fenders and stuff or if the fenders will go with the cab I don't know I've never messed with on any structure you should probably actually remove the fenders and then and then we'll just do the cab basically by itself we'll kind of test fit that up here but from what I've what I've seen because you know people doing similar swaps is that you basically have to cut the the center out for the tunnel and stuff but we'll get to that but for now we need to get this truck ready to do some test fit stuff with us we're gonna go start by removing that engine out of there and then moving this thing over and getting this frame basically out from underneath this we can start testing some stuff with this [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so I'm going around this thing and hitting all the bolts with some some penetrating oil I think like so I just hit this thing with a wire wheel so I I want you guys to tell me if you've ever seen a 1966 truck that you're able to get the bolt to look like that and probably come off just by hitting it with the wire wheel so I mean this thing's like really it's all surface dressed there's nothing like people look look right here look at the cab corners and it still has the brace there which is crazy and then when you come back over here to the bed look at the bolts for the bed like right there like I didn't even hit that with a wire wheel or anything basically just gave it sprayed a little bit of Lube on it try to get it off so yeah I know I've never messed with like removing one of the beds on these things but I hope it's gonna be simple cuz I think as long as these bolts come loose it should come right up he's probably works right off [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so got the frame out from underneath it look at that that went on Z that was that was really simple I think about two hours again like yesterday basically just like that with the Envoy so we chose to leave everything attached up here there's kind of like a strong spot right here on the frame where like the fin or on the fender so I'll probably take the weight off of that here here shortly but yeah it was nice to just leave everything up there on the front so that way when we pull the other frame under there we don't have to like mount and dismount and do all the remove like the whole front wrap of everything so yeah definitely nice having a to post lift it's crazy how simple these things are literally there's a one brake line that was hooked up right here there's like a really really simple wiring harness right here that went to the taillights basically so there's basically four wires that go to the back and other than that there's like a fuel level sending unit and freaking fuel line it's crazy but and you guys probably wouldn't believe it but literally we didn't have issues with not one bolt every single bolt came out we didn't have to cut anything the only thing we had to do was hold basically the bolts holding the bed to the top with a pair of pliers with them but yeah so this frame super good condition I mean really it's like I don't know I could pull it outside throw some throw some paint on it little pressure washer throw some paint on it and we could probably sell this thing for for a decent amount of money just because it's a short bed you know c10 frame and I think it is it's a little bit I think this is like the better one where it has a coil spring form obviously I know it's the better one with the coil springs and like these trailing arms which inherently this is a decent design I guess you know a lot of people get away with with this just from the factory they get like upgraded arms and just lower them down and they see notch him a little bit to get them to where they sit really low but yeah I don't know I think the the rear end setup on the others a little bit better one of the biggest things I would say is just the whole front of this thing that is just kind of more of the older technology you have a like a gear reduction steering box where you have to turn it 20 times to like basically turn it around no power steering and then you have like these a arm control arms you know Dule arms or whatever but again we have the drum brakes up front whereas if you come over here to our new frame so we have kind of I don't know what I'm not even gonna act like I know the name of that that strut design but so we have I don't know if that's a McPherson or not you know I know it's probably better but so we have disc brakes we have a rack and pinion which that's probably one of the more expensive things to do on here is to actually get like a whole subframe with the rack and pinion and the disc brakes so the front end is more expensive and then in the rear we have the four link setup with the disc brakes the other benefit of using this frame is you know already brake lines round fuel lines ran the engines already mounted the transmissions already mounted literally everything is already mounted to it so yeah I think what we're gonna end up having to do is cut more so right here on the front of the frame and drop it down but we'll see a little bit more of that once we actually get this thing set in there so what I wanted to do now is actually I can't want to get the frame side-by-side so you get kind of like a little bit of a visual on them but otherwise I'm gonna pull this thing outside and we're gonna stick that under it kind of set it and see where we're we're we're looking time you know they make those little floor jacks those those things you put on the wheels yeah you know they make these little things that you stick under the wheels where they just roll around you don't have to do this [Applause] see this one already comes equipped with an engine and training - that's the nice thing so I mean really though Boeing did have to ground all their 737 oh I mean look at that like really like like when you start looking at it like the the middle is definitely a lot lower so I think the engine is probably gonna sit up higher in the engine bay in the cab yeah look at look at the mountain points so this was mounted on the basically the cab was mounted in these positions right here so four mounts right here for the cab and then the front for the fenders was mounted right here but it's crazy how similar they look at that this thing in the front that thing in the front what what's that all the bolts we could use wobble bolts will make it work really like that back mount like almost looks like it's in the right spot no I'm pretty stoked I'm ready - I'm ready to stick it on there after we take some pictures so I say if you guys if you guys were like in this is progress so far I'm gonna take some pictures get you guys a thumbnail [Music] this is kind of the first test do you see the power steering pump is kind of in the way and then right here these strut towers or the you know where there are little little strut mounts basically that needs to become a cutaway right here so we would have to either cut these or just completely remove these inner fender inner fender wells and so you can see right here in the front we have probably seven or eight inches between right here maybe six inches that goes right there in between here whereas if we come right here to the back the body mount is actually right here and this we probably have like almost two feet that we actually need to go down so basically the cab is gonna sit I'm pretty sure right here right there so basically do like a little block or something right here or move the body mount right here this front one I think is gonna have to move a little bit just because it mounts where's it now I think it's like right here something like that I still have to move that mount and then in the front I think we're basically just gonna have to chop the frame so oh yeah you know I did some searching on the internet kind of before I pulled the trigger on this thing and there's a forum I think it's like 67 to 72 Chevy c10 and there's actually a guy that did a I think it's a 56 c10 which is has the same exact bed is this like the stepside bed same length and everything but it has the more rounded front corners and stuff and that's kind of how I knew I was just like nope we're doing it because he he did it he literally did it in his driveway with a cherry picker so yeah cut the frame right there set the front down move the body mounts man we're gonna be we're gonna be in business I think okay no hi guys so yeah as you can see we are getting close and there has been a lot of people basically in the comments of the last video that we uploaded yesterday talking about you know how come I didn't do like the qa1 setup they have tubular control arms and there's like CPP they make like a drop knuckle in the front where you bolt on like 72 and up this breaks again kind of part of that you know those disc brakes are from 1972 or I think it's 79 where it's like om disc brakes off every Chevy truck from like 72 to like 80 something you know there I was reading one guy had like an LS swap in his c10 that had those brakes on a form and he basically said that they suck you know like they're just not that great of brakes they're like om truck brakes they're you know they are an upgrade from the the drum brakes but you know they're not they're not like crazy performance wise so I'm assuming these ones are gonna be a little better they are often oh wait this chassis started in I think Oh two so a little bit newer technology and you know again you can you can go crazy you could spend a lot of money on the front of these things you could definitely upgrade these chassis 's and make these things drive like a freakin Corvette and you could auto cross them and do all that other type of stuff or you could buy a Corvette what you know most of like the reason why I'm doing this whole thing is for the budget like literally it started out with me testing out this engine which you know they're at the junkyard probably you know why because they bullhead guess and they have rod knox but you know there's tons of these things available this is something that you could save a whole lot of money let's say you even pick up one of these trouble lasers for like a thousand bucks again you have an engine you have a training you have all the brakes you have the whole new modern frame you literally won't even have to bleed the brakes before you you won't even have to bleed the brakes like you can't tell me that you could do is disc brake swap on your truck and not bleed the brakes because of a freaking these things are just sitting here they have braided lines right there we're gonna adapt to the booster and everything over to it the throttle pedal all that type of stuff again I do need to start addressing this engine I mostly want to get this thing mocked up and then we'll pull the engine out and swap the bottom ends with that other the one out of the other truck and then we'll probably do a little bit of upgrades to the heads the head on this and get it all decked and checked and stuff so yeah I mean wheelbase and honestly doesn't it's not as wide as I thought it was gonna be big fatties on there I mean that's good though that because I the the picture of the other guy that did it his fenders were like super yeah I was on the older body but man I mean III definitely think I know it's gonna fit again I seen this I can't say I'm the the creator of this but I did some research and figured out that this is going to work so I think this is gonna be kind of the best bang for your buck so I don't know I'm probably just gonna call it right there with this video and in the next video we'll try to get this body well we'll just basically start cutting and welding and doing all that type of stuff so yeah again if you guys want me to do to modify this frame or you can send me your credit card number or I'll send you my shipping address yeah links and descriptions yeah again 300 all or frame versus probably about six thousand dollars if you did everything you know the right way by all om brand new parts do nice stuff so 300 others versus probably like five to six thousand dollars I'm gonna do this we're gonna make this thing work when this thing is running and driving in like two freakin weeks hopefully you guys are stoked for me so see you next [Music]
