I havent watched this since I was a kid. Id say overall there is some pretty good advice in this video, especially for a young kid getting into mini truckin'. Just a few things I noticed that I would recommend paying attention too for some beginners. 1. Dont weld the c notch to the top of the frame. Cut the tubing long enough that you can run it down through the top of the frame and weld it on the inside of the frame. Then box it. 2. as the truck travels up and down the rearend will move front to back changing the location of the wheel in the wheel well. Watch when they air the truck out the wheel comes forward in the wheel well of the bed. It will look centered while aired up driving, but probably look forward in the wheel well while aired out. Just be aware so you end up with it centered when you want it centered. (You can tell theirs traveled forward alot, I wonder if thats why they only showed angled shots and not a nice side view) 3. If you decide to run a crossmember between the bed mounts that has a load on it, like the upper link bars, entertain the idea of gusseting the bed mounts or bracing them to handle the stress. 4.Practice welding before hopping in. Scrap is your best friend. practice, practice, practice. 5. If you wanna see the most ridiculous mini truck, come check out the Dat-sun King Delivery rig here at PFS. 6. Pay attention in school so you have better english/ grammar then me.

The flat green s10 that was fully shaved used be my truck a few years ago crazy I remember watching this show when it aired

finally something worth watching that isnt a full oem restore

That jeep smashing into the water at the beginning of the intro hits the nostalgia so hard. There was nothing I watched more religiously than Powerblock in the early 2000's.

Wow, this takes me back to sunday morning as a kid, watching this on Spike TV with my dad. So much nostalgia here.

I miss these older shows... that coffin switchbox is absolutely awesome💯🙌🤘

Back in the 1990s there was a racing series ,Used to watch it at the Long Beach Grand Prix live. Mini pickups road racing, the Nissan's were the ones that usually won the races beating the Toyotas and the Mitsubishis, the Nissan's were lightweight and cornered well.

I love this showwwwww... why aren't these shows still around!

I miss my 1983 DATSUN King Cab.

I can safely say that this show is one of the reasons I’m into the car scene been watching since a kid and everyone knew not to change the channel when I was watching this

Nice, I'm Really Glad you added extra metal to the rear and c notch chassis. 😊

We need more stuff like this for sure.

Wow he was so young. These are the days of Surface DVD. And wow the frame of the spike truck!!!! RIP.

15 degrees will give you all the locating you need and also allows to not have the upper links on top of the diff center. It will however reduce the rotation side to side motion in the housing

Love this truck can't wait for the final result

One of the coolest epsiodes I haven't seen in years, also I just got done watching a Vlog from Kostum Life about their trip the Minitruckin Nationals March 2022 in North Carolina which features the baddest Slammed Dually in existence (Krew Kut).

love your build can't wait to see how it turns out wow you guys are awesome take care

Awesome job guys cant wait yo see part 2

man awesome work ..... wonder where this truck is now

This an OLD episode lol! I used to have a 96 Nissan D21!! Loved that truck! Still miss it.

Great fab work but I think the mounts (bolts) on the top of the rear end should be parallel with the ground. The way it is now it wants to twist the top bars as it runs through its travel.

I love my 93 Nissan hardbody. Mine is stance with 3 inch poke sitting on 10 wide american racing wheels.

Yes, thanks for finishing up boxing the notch! This is the most commonly skipped step.

*I had both a 1986 Nissan 720 and a 1994 Nissan Hardbody Lowrider Mini Trucks as my first cars. great times in the 80's and 90's driving down the strip in Myrtle beach SC blasting music and just enjoying life.*

thank you for putting this on TRUKS I have been watching Car Shows for years and been waiting for this Thank You Thank You Love this I have a Mazda B2000 86 I love my truck

old car shows were great, wish you guys wold say whe the episodes were released in the descriptio, would be cool

We want part 2 now

They make it look so easy with money

Man, does this bring me back. I had a bagged 98 s10.

Did they ever complete this truck?

Great video.

Paul is terrifying. There, I said it.

Where is part 2 for the front? Can you add it to the video?

Was that mini truck shop shop in concord nc?

I hate measuring I always measure once, cut multiple times until I have to totally do it over again with another part.

You deserve more subscribers and views!

Gots a early 2000s feel this video.

Memories from high school 24 years ago 😂🤣😂🤣😂

I am building a 95 hardbody it's my first build and I have everything to bag the front I need that video.

That's a clean truck to chop up

is this a current series or something that was filmed in the early 2000s?

where is part 2 !!!!

I recorded this on vhs so I could watch it over and over again. Still have that vhs until today

When did Goldberg become a mechanic??

I remember the mini slammed truck craze. It was pretty cool. In high school.... Then we grew up.

I didn’t know Goldberg liked building trucks

Those and the rangers, b2500 were all easy mini trucks to slam.

MINITRUCKIN!!!!!!!

Mantap ❗✌🏻

Wow Mr T looks different without his Mohawk

What yr was this episode

Very good Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷 GUNPOWDER & GASOLINE , por favor habilitem a legenda português Brasil 🇧🇷 e outros países , obrigado.👍😉

Hell yah😎

16:27 Squatted truck before W.D. was talking about them.

Does the upper bars have to extend out from the diff housing or can they meet at a center point in front and be spread on the axel? Some diff housings can't be welded on very easily.

Hulk Hogan lol 😂

Hellywahhh

the best shop my ass 😂😂😂😂😂

Love it but watching is kinda exciting and kinda creepy since I'm still driving my hardbody. I have to disagree though. I think that 97 was the last sold in the US although overseas they kept making it for awhile. Almost 25 years and 230k and still going strong but I may have to junk it this year because of the stupid smog laws in my state. Nevada doesn't do actual emissions testing; they only check the obd status. But, I can't seem to get past the drive cycle so this may be my last year.

FRAM JUNK!

KZfaq went to add break when oldmate said "we're going to a break." Not bad KZfaq. Not bad.

STEP NOTCH...

They should have just used the Nissan axle, after making changes to it.

Like how they change the rear axle for bolt pattern, but the original pattern is the exact same as GM so there are limitless options for wheels😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

from south Africa ......this is a Bakkie and Half

Oh goody discount mr clean again

That's a step notch, not a C notch. A C notch is a C shaped piece of pipe welded in the frame. A step notch looks like a step. Secondly rear facing 4 4 links are the worst except for a 2 link. No reason to point the 4 link bars to the rear.

Making mini trucks great again ?

Andarilho.

Lol and I was upset my toyota wasn't 6 lug.

Sigan buscando autos que todo mortal puede tener 😃 y modifiquenlos

Bought a 1980 Nissan king cab new. Was a POS cheap materials under powered flimsy boy. This truck is a leap forward .

I hate air bag, I would use coil overs

Bill Goldberg???

Problem that I have with this Episode is, what was the ORIGINAL Recording Date? Would be SO NICE to have an Intro stating when these "older episodes" aired on TV/Cable... Given the Vehicle and work to be done, I would "Assume" that this was recorded in about 1995-97 given the "Mini-Truck" Trend of the time. Still, a great episode and vehicle to be "modified"!

That kid is young

semi-spicy...

Whats the bald dudes name and why do I feel like it's Goldberg in disguise

Sucks they never finished it sold it before they could

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

Good Lord I used to be into bagged vehicles a lot back in the early 2000s but I got tired of it after blowing bags and being stuck in the middle of a busy road with people yelling and cussing you and cops pulling up wanting to ticket you. Nowadays it’s static dropped for me or don’t lay completely flat so if you pop a bag you can still limp it….

Beatiful LOW RYDER nissan

FIANLLY A MINI !!!! FINNNNAAALLLYYY!!!

Walmart called. Want their Goldberg back..

Cold air intake should just burn your money

Is that a toilet paper frame

Joe dirt son

My nigga

Is the bald guy a old pro wrestler or something "YEA BROTHER"

first this💩 and then the f&f ricer 💩 . . . 🤣🤣🤣

why does this show look like it’s from 2002

Spanish please

Damn I cringe when I hear mechanics tools on the metal parts of my car. I just fooken despise it and find it disrespectful on the fact that car owners work hard to keep their cars nick and scratch free and Mechanics are fooktards for doing those things. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Didn’t this trend die in the 90’s ?
