Oh man Michael how have you been? I just talked to Steve last week. Keep watching videos and you will see the transformation

yamahaxs6501 I am going to have to remember that logo comment. lol thanks man

Bill Newell bad ass truck!!!

Thank you, there was a guy on facebook asking for a video like this so I did it early. When I get more done I will make another one.

Yeah I remember when I pulled my 66’ out , it was a awesome feeling.

Bill Newell great Job Sir !!!!!

there is a more recent video of how it turned out after I painted it.

thank you sir

thank you. I am about to paint it now

Thank you, I will be posting more videos soon. I've made a few changes but not many

thank you. there is a more recent video of it painted

thank you. looks different now. Detroit steel wheels, 70 grill and a few more things under the hood.

Oliver Rojo thank you very much. Look at my more recent videos

Rhoads Matheson this is an old video. Look at the newer ones. Truck is almost done

thank you

thank you sir

thank you

hotrodsinner914 no wheel fitment issues at all. The control arms are 1 inch narrower than stock, spindles are .75 inch narrower than stock, and rear end is 1.5 inches per side narrower than stock. the truck is a lot different than this video. I have had 4 other sets of wheels on it, I painted it, did the interior, wood bed, cammed the engine, and installed 3.73 Gears and a posi.

lok me up on facebook. I am almost done with it.

+Bill Newell just sent a friend request... Good work man! Take a peek at what I'm building when ya can... Mainly budget LS swap stuff

I can see your point. I hate Hondas and Chryslers with firewall mounted racks. I used to align limos, racecars, show cars, and all kinds of shit when I lived in Southern California, so fords are easy.

I'm really trying to follow this conversation, but I just can't! What on earth are you guys speaking of?? Please help a clueless noob.

Yup. Fucked it up so bad it sold for 38k.

I'm about to fuck up a 2wd K5 Blazer too. Stay tuned.

Most of the 05 and up that drift right need a 3/4 cam. I install them on the left side. Most factory cams come with caster at .12 camber at .4. Install the 3/4 cam with the slot out and forward so you are adding camber and decreasing caster. It will normally give you a .7 caster split. I recommend always going with the bushing 1 size smaller than what you think it should be.

Caster is set at 4.1 left and 4.6 on the right. Camber is -.1 each and to is .1 total all at ride height which is 5" off the ground. At 1.5" off the ground I'm at about -1.2 camber but it toes in a lot.

can you do a video on the shortbed conversion,? including the shortened bed?

The hardest thing was getting over being afraid of it. I'm serious. once I got over that, it was supper easy.

Marie Mott they are out of business. You can buy a 6 link from KP concepts that will work on a stock frame or with little modification.

sorry if I didn't respond. I didn't see this until now. with the body drop the 4l80e is a tight fit but it works. drive line angles are tricky

Glad I could help. lol. watch the video of me first starting it. scared me it started up so quickly.

+Bill Newell lol what does a 6.0 run these days?

+Daniel R. I bought a totaled truck for $1500 with the engine, trans, pcm, and wire harness in it. took it all out and scrapped the truck.

it doesn't look like this anymore

I don't know I just don't like the low rider stle and all of that

+Mindlesspops Play's Minecraft This style is not for everyone.

Rolando Elizondo I paid 200 dollars for the 2 bed sides and built the frame myself

Manuel Mena good thing your opinion doesn't matter to me. Funny you say that because it is going to the Good guys show today because it got picked for the top 50 trucks exhibit this weekend.

Still a peace of shit sorry.

Manuel Mena no need to apologize. Everyone has an opinion.

Manuel Mena it doesn't look anything like this anymore.

Jim Miranda I didn't take the pins out, I removed the hinges with the door just by removing the bolts.

I used a 4l80e trans. I would not out a 4l60e trans behind a 6.0. they don't hold up well.

thank you sir

Swap was super easy. Definitely worth doing. A 5.3 I've heard feels quicker when mated with the 4l60e trans because it does take as much power as the 4l80e does. The 6.0 has a lot of torque.

tom schmitt I built my own frame and rear suspension after I bought short bed bed sides.

Because I built it to my standards not yours. The new owner loves how I built it too.

Because I did a body drop yes a little massaging of the floor. I cut the shifter bracket, shortened it and moved it back because the 4l80e is wider and longer than a 400.

I've been doing it for 22 years, F series with bushings I can do in my sleep, sliding control arms are a breeze. The ones I don't care for are when people bring me bagged trucks or drift cars and want them aligned properly but their suspension is all screwed up.

Thanks,I have a 69 c10 I'm bout to start. Just looking up different places to start buying from.

Suspension technician at Ford.

I dont, sorry. I have pictures only

20x8.5 with a 0 offset.

245-45-20

yes you can, it takes a lot of cutting tho

no, they make them in a few offsets

oh okay thanks ... amazing truck by the way 👌

72 but I put a 70 grill on it.

Cesar courrech I use slam specialties ss7 bags all the way around

Same air bags diameter front and rear? Thank you!

Cesar courrech Yes sir. I like to try to do that so when I carry a spare bag, it will fit front or rear if I have a problem. I drive long distances and don't want issues.

Oops... The number 7 means the diameter. Thank you... Nice truck

Cesar courrech Yes 7 is the is diameter of the bag

bindosas hu 2.5 inch flowmeter 40 series with an H pipe off XS Speed headers.

I personally don't care for a slammed long bed. If it was just a static drop, I would have left it a long bed.

I like long beds.

Lyndel Culbertson it's a 69 now. I don't regret the ls swap at all. I just installed an all aluminum 5.3 with a .617 lift cam and it runs and sounds great. I will never build another carburated engine again. They are very inefficient.

Bill Newell I don't ever plan on building another carbureted engine again either. I've had 3 in particular that were never right, but if that 400 was original to the truck and buildable then personally I would've converted it to fi with something along the lines of an fitech fuel injection conversion. They're priced decent these days and will keep the rarity of the truck intact. A little work on the heads and drop in a cam and you could make just as respectable of numbers as an ls. If you ever wanted to sell it later, it would be worth a lot as a numbers matching 72 Cheyenne super and the next owner would have options rather than having to deal with old technology and custom fit parts to accommodate an ls. I have a 70 c10 that was a fully optioned a/c truck, but someone yanked the original 350 and I got stuck with a corporate 307. I could drop an ls in it and look like every other rescued truck in my club, but that would be as bad as whoever stuck that 307 in it in the 70s. Since it's well optioned I can keep a stock look and upgrade to fuel injection with better internals and suspension and. Don't get me wrong, I love your truck. I just wish you would've picked a 69 with no engine rather than a survivor 72 if it looked as good in person as that original picture in your video. I think that's why a lot of the purists are upset. If you would've left the before pictures out, you'd probably be getting nothing but praise.

Goodfellas Inc. not all 67s had a small window. I used a 67 front clip, but it now has a 69 front end.

I removed the studs from the brake pedal assembly, drilled holes to line up the Mustang booster, shaved the firewall, drilled a new hole for the rod to go through, and made a adjustable brake pedal rod.

Thanks for the reply what's the difference between the Mustang booster an gm booster

+Sergio Duarte I wanted an 8 inch booster is all.

What year Mustang??

+Sergio Duarte I don't remember. good dual diaphragm 8 inch Mustang booster

matthew dyess yes, and paint. I did everything but the upholstery.

matthew dyess there is a newer video with it painted

not sure how to respond to that

MORGAN DOUGLAS watch the newer video after I painted it. yes it improved

ONLY IN YOUR EYES IMO

Well the person who bought it for $38k didn't mind what I did to it. Different stroke for different folks.

Goodfellas Inc. Thank you. look for the updated video. I've painted it and everything.

thank you sir

what did he butcher?he took a dime a dozen ugly ass long bed and turned it into a badass shortbed.you internet trolls are all the same.always talkin smack about what someone else is doin.

+Danny Roach thank you. Some people will never get it.

+Bill Newell no doubt.youd reaaaally have some haters if they saw what it looked like now.that truck has come a long way and its one of the cleanest ive seen bro

+Danny Roach thanks man. I should be driving it in a week and a half.

Robert Cowan couldn't agree more. Sold them right after I put them on.

Tevis Hodges this is an old video, it's all painted, upholstered, and wood bed now. I understand some people don't like the style I built it though.

Bill Newell truck is bad as fuck that guy looks sick as is

truck is sick! Tevis is a fool!

If that's your opinion, then yes.

+Bill Newell But my opinion doesn't matter because you built it. it is your image of what you wanted and you made it happen. that is all that matters.

+Michael Dunn thank you, that's true. I did end up painting it, changing the rims, building the bed, and having the interior done, but I haven't done a video yet.

+Bill Newell cool

+Bill Newell your truck looks bad ass man. I respect that fact that you respect opinions from idiots. I wouldn't. Good job with the truck

Kor'an Mal might want to go look at more recent videos before you share your narrow minded opinion.

good thing I didn't build it for you then right?

xJOKERx15 it's painted now and looks very different
