And screaming cusswords that would make a sailor blush.

Lmao same

And destroying my knuckle skin

Same thing when i was changing spark plugs on my F-150 and they had carbon all over the threads and the dealership cross threaded them

It helps to have all the best tools, a big garage, a lift... etc.

In highschool I bought an 84 for $2500

@@demented_cycles There were pages of these in every AutoShopper for cheap.

Mateo V I remember those days lol. I would get an autotrader every week!

For giggles I poked around the internet. You can't find one under $10k.

I picked up a rust free '91 for 1500 CDN peso's but body has some bad dents that will take some work and has 3/4 ton axles in it with lift. Power train is stock. One prior I got for 750 and rust free body.... One in the pic has been in the family for a couple decades plus.

Thinking the same thing

Mississippi Ditch Fisher mine was stock on 31s. It got about 8mpg but it was all around town

It is

How right you are. It's really a shame what happened to the 4x4 market and how everything including k5 blazers is now grossly overpriced.

Yep those and full size Broncos

This episode is around 20 years old.

Cameron yeah I know

I heard Mel left to pursue an acting career?

Yup early 2000s

Copperhead didn't exist yet. This was a solid 2 years before that project.

Copperhead is a nice ass truck

I've used both, and they seem to be comparable. I do recommend getting the higher-end/premium versions of each because they're built better.

@@channell11 thanks that really helps

This bog blaze got sold off to finance other projects..they guy took off all the good stuff for his rig ..swapped all the crap back in a nd sold it back off...project crazy horse and copperhead got sold off to fiance Stacey's new show gearz

@@fredcollis4289 I see thanks.

If an oem provided the truck it went back and eventually got crushed because lawyers.

How you know. I always wonder were all this project end up

LOL...growing up in Iowa, i feel you. Keep looking for the deal and learn how to weld sheetmetal.

This episode is from 2001

The money they spent on that custom Dana 60 rear when they could’ve simply found a later model 14 bolt from a wrecking yard... & I know GM Dana 60 fronts are hard to find, but that 10 bolt is gonna have a hard & short life with 4.88’s & 37’s. ...& they didn’t go to crossover steering? Still a cool truck...

That was a while ago. I felt lucky to have bought my K5 in 2010 for $1500. It came with a parts Suburban, and the paint was rough and the interior stained, but it was a running, driving truck with a good body. They're just getting less common. I used to be able to go to the pick-and-pull and see at least half a dozen square bodies just a few years ago-now it's a surprise to see one.

That'd be my choice. They probably wanted to showcase different products. A posi will do well in the front if you don't want the expense of a selectable locker but at the same time you deal with snow or tight turns and don't want the squirrely handling or other issues from putting a true locker up front.

Why does the rear has to be narrower ?

@@andyclemente4205 2 wheel drive was parallel with eachother front and rear. The 4x4 trucks blazers and burbs had a wider front end making the rear narrow. Reason for that was for much better turning radius, a stock k5 blazer has the same turning as a mini Cooper, why? Because better turning on, and off road. Short wheel base ans further better turning than most. But not only does it help with getting around tight trees, snow, mud and clay the front and rear tracks are different. So the ruts made from the front tires doesn't drag the rear with them. Which makes driving in snow and mud is more stable. Front and rear would make almost 2 separate ruts so the rear isn't following the front and vs

@@andyclemente4205 it doesn't have to be but gm designed it that way for a reason and have used that design from the 70s all the way into the brand new trucks and suvs. Its still there but they worked harder to hide the look

@@79c15 ohh. just learned something new. Thanks

About 20 years old.

If you're doing crawling or anything else where you want that instant lockup, a selectable locker is the way to go. A posi is a good all around choice, though. Probably sponsored by ARB...

What would you recommend im in need a front a rear rebuild with looks of it and could do with some direction tia

@@jonnysprojects6549 rear's a dana 60, though 6 lug... so... recommendation is a 14-bolt up front and 10 bolt out back.

@@zarkeh3013 thanks for the reply is there any specific year or truck il find them on im in the uk so parts are pretty hard to come by 👍

@@jonnysprojects6549 ohhh, I was half joking, heh. but certain GM 3/4 ton trucks have dana 60's up front vs 8-lug 10bolt. typically with a gm 14-bolt out back (and the plow shape it has killing ground clearance). I'd simply order new dana 60's front and rear in 8-lug than finding a rare thing even on north america. check out pic's of gm 14-bolt to get an idea of the joke I made ;)

@@zarkeh3013 Depending on the use of the truck a semi-floater 14 bolt out of a 3/4 ton for the rear may be the ticket. Some of them come in 4.10 ratios with a G80 locker, they're strong enough for 40 inch tires, and they're a lot lighter and have better ground clearance than the full-floater. Main caveats are they aren't as strong as a full-floater, and there are fewer parts for them and they tend to be more expensive.
