Awesome

do those heat shield work well or can you still burn yourself ?

If you're going to do this try it using only 1 bushing so you do not have to grind the hinge. Or grind off the "brim" of the "hat" bushings instead of the hinge.

Hey Rick. Loving the videos..! I also have a 1968 "Scooby" Chevy G10 van. I've shipped it over here to England and it's nice to have a rare good looking different van. My drivers side door upper hinge pin has snapped (looks like 2 places, as the hinge just separates when the door opens) Do you know who sells the pin? Also......I have the 230 or 250 cu 6 cylinder original engine and need a fuel pump. Where can I order that? Obviously from the States, but that's ok. Not a lot of info online for G10's..!! Keep up the good work..! regards, Paul. PS Mine is the same color blue as yours and looks like it's twin..!!

Nice hat, now I know you’re not smart.

$5G MORE AN WORTH EVERY PENNY VANS ARE KOOL

You've just solved a 50 yr old mystery for me! @7:40, you showed how the inside door handle doesn't latch unless you push it back. A friend of mine and I were 14 yrs old, and hitch-hiking home from Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley over Laurel Canyon (we were idiots, yes. Snuck out of our houses - parents were clueless) and a creepy guy in a van similar to yours picked us up and tried to kidnap us... dunno what else... and we saw that the door handle inside was removed. Our hearts sank but when he stopped in a dark alley, my friend kicked the door open and we ran away. I don't know her any more but I always wanted to know how she was able to do that! Didn't ask her at the time, I was just happy to be alive. I bet it didn't latch because it wasn't pushed back, as you show. We quit hitchhiking after that! It was about 1972 and I still thank God we got out. 😅 🙏

Another Scooby Van?...... How original!

There are only 2 possibilities... God created the universe and all life in it or Nothing did..... If nothing did, then nothing would exist… Life does NOT come from non life, something does NOT come from nothing! "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle … Therefore...God created the universe and all life in it… If you take all the profiteering out of evolution you will never hear another word about it. Darwin did NOT even know what DNA was! Stephen Hawking said....."The universe would not exist if there was a decrease in expansion If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in 100 thousand million million, the universe would have collapsed before it ever reached its present size." "It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us." EVOLUTION IS IMPOSSIBLE, NOT JUST HIGHLY UNLIKELY, BUT IMPOSSIBLE! A simple single celled bacterium has thousands of different proteins… Francis Crick won the Nobel prize for co discovering the structure of DNA. He calculated what the odds would be of getting one protein by chance in the ancient ocean. They are 1 in 10 to the power of 260 and if you want to know how big of a number that is you couldn’t fit that many electrons in the known universe…. If you want to know why that number would look like digitally it would be a 1 followed by 260 zeros. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica… "A simple one celled bacterium “coli” contain DNA information units that are the equivalent of 100 million pages of Encyclopedia Britannica.” Mathematicians say that anything with odds greater than 1 in 10 to the power of 50 is impossible… So it would be impossible to get even one protein by chance, let alone the thousands a single cell would need. PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION! And let.s think about this…. For the first cell ever to exist "that supposedly created itself” on the sterile earth before it died in the span of one lifetime would have had to develop and perfect the process of cellular reproduction because if it didn’t then there never would have been a second cell to continue……IMPOSSIBLE! And Darwins evolutionary process would have stopped right there! How long could man or woman dog or cat monkey or elephant live while they are waiting for lungs, heart, kidneys liver or brain to evolve? Why did “Mother Nature” bother to create both Male and Female if according to Darwinian evolution the Male and Female could evolve independently in violation of his own idea of “survival of the fittest?” How did nothing come up with the idea for the first eyeball when before it none existed? And how did the blind animal hunt for food not being able to see its pray? How did “Mother Nature” come up with the extremely complex design of the ocular nerve? Or the over 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body enough to circle the Earth at the equator 2 and 1/2 times? How did this first cell that is made up of distinct DNA code write its OWN code BEFORE it EVEN came into existence? This is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!! Anybody with a functioning brain would/should realize this fact! And atheists believe that not only did this first coli somehow write 100 million pages of Encyclopedia Britannica worth of DNA code to create itself somehow BEFORE they came into existence…. But they also believe the entire universe and all life in it supposedly did the same thing, i.e. came from nothing WITHOUT A MASTER DESIGNER! Someone or something operating outside of the known laws of thermodynamics CREATED EVERYTHING! That someone was God! The moment one becomes enlightened with the truth of God and begins to think critically they no longer have any interest in the fable of evolution. I believe that something created everything and that something was God. Atheists believe absolutely nothing created absolutely everything…. One is logical..... The other is NOT! I confess that Jesus Christ is The Almighty God, the creator of all that is... John 1

That’s real kool

What would you say the length of it is at minimum extension? I have a 2012 Impala with rotted pinch welds for jack points (Minnesota vehicle). The pinch welds literally crumble when lifting. I'm thinking about buying this to give myself more surface area to disperse the load. The problem is I don't know what's safe to lift/jack from besides the designated lift points since this is a unibody with no obvious frame. Maybe I could take the pads off and lift with the center beam itself. Or just use a 2x4... FJB

It's not safe to believe you can work under vehicle ....you still need the safety of solid support stands ....never ever get under vehicle with the belief a hydraulic jack is safe.

Hey thanks. Do you by any chance known the dimensions for the wheels already on the creeper?

superb

Does it fit the 4 ton jack

What size is the allen key?

Hey man , you got any social media to be contacted on, wanna show you my car and what you recommend, thanks in advance really wanna do something like this just don’t know the needs!.

I had the exact same van with the same wheels! It was a 1978 G10 shorty with no windows, Cragar S/S wheels, and a 350 motor. Mine was Dark grey though. I ended up painting it to look like the A-Team van.

Cant believe the price of houses in the US here in Sydney Australia average house price 1.2 million

I want to buy it to when it goes on sale. I hope very soon, because I really need one my friend. 🙏

Oh ffs

Mine was a simple 3 hole steering wheel so the Speedway kit worked but I couldn’t figure how to make the horn work. Instructions no help at all!

Hello, i have a 69 g10 and im curious if the later model 71 vandura back pop out windows will fit on it. Any chance you would know or be able to find out?

I highly recommend using a cast iron that is preheated in the over at 450f, it'll give you an even fluffier pancake! Another trick that will also give good results is to let the batter sit for 30 minutes. This gives the flour time to hydrate and develop a stronger gluten network (called autolyse in the baking community) which in turn helps it rise more.

Cool now it matches the dope cooking pedo look you have going on

Nice place, you must be the head chef for that lab

Yes just like your underwear it’s for women

Hacking up another one

I was amazed when seeing an old timer fix his truck like this using a light pole across the street from his house and a come along. Just be sure not to stand too close! If the chain snaps, that ratchet will fly like a canon ball.

Your gold van looks like my 94 cuz I have the big van, with no windows except the Popout windows in the back but I don't have the sliding door I have the barn doors on the side. The motor is that a small block 350? If it is let me know the type of intake that you have and the carburetor size and the distributor cap, and the wires, I love the setup on your motor 9:27

Looks good

I recommend people with wrecked cars like this just take it to the bodyshop and let them pull the frame. And then you can do the rest if you want to. Videos make things look easy and when you try and a chain breaks or snaps a rope and you get hurt, then you will be wishing you did. frame pull is not that expensive, its all the other stuff paint and parts that are..

Did you paint the doors with the vent windows in? Looks like fun putting it in after paint.

The stance is excellent. You're so close to absolute perfection.

Watch BACKDATING THE GRILL ON MY CHEVY VAN. This guy is putting the exact grill you need to swap.

3 point mirrors are a must.

The custom grill is the chrome one that is on so many custom hot rod vans.

Needs a ball cap visor and a matching chin spoiler, and custom grill. Black louvers on the back, a ladder, and tube luggage rack would complete the badness. I had a 76 that was the exact same color as the Wild Cherry van but no fender flares and outfitted like described. Had rounded corner thin smoked plexiglass headlight covers and cast aluminum rims that were similar to the ones on The General Lee. It was the baddest mf I've ever seen.

thanks

Why would you add politics to a video unrelated to that? Wearing a hat of a man that attempts to cheat us all from democracy? And also say F the president of US? Are you a traitor to America? You might not like the presidents points, but still the president. Imagine a foreigner saying that about our presidents, past and present, we would take it as an attack to Americas freedoms - amazingly it’s so commonplace these days. About the jack cross beam, video is so so, but shows what it does, so I’m buying one. Good luck on 2024 and let the best man/woman win! Remember, we can argue for the election, but once elected, it’s OUR President/governors, etc.

I would throw it in the trash and go buy the Icon for 90.00.

Looking at getting one this weekend. It’s a shame you can’t have anything now days without trashy thieves taking what people have worked hard for.

Watching this 3 years later, thanks Rick!

I'm thinking about short tube headers for my 2010 tahoe and also a stage 1 camm

I have done a 21 - 3 hour fast for over 2 years. I am a 56 year old man May of 2014 VSG patient so I NEVER feel hungry, as I am incapable of producing the Ghrelin hormone. Surgery brought me down from 316 post op to 38 pounds in the first month GONE! I continued to lose weight all the way down to about 208 pounds and then the loss came to halt so I started intermittent fasting. I went from 208 to 185 over 1 year. Then stopped and sprung back up to 235. I am now as of 1/1/24 back on the 21- 3 fasting. and thus far I have dropped from 235 .4 down to 220.4 so 15 pounds are now gone. I am losing about 0.6 - 1.1 pounds a week. That is really the best way to louse weight SLOWLY, to give your body time to adjust to a new set weight and not go into starvation mode. And since my stomach is the size of my 6 year old granddaughter or about the size of a banana and I can't produce "Ghrelin" any more it is pretty painless and easy. But now I know it is something I have to do for the rest of my life. So a 21 hour fast is easy for me. My stomach is so small when I do eat I only eat 1/2 cup of turkey chilly made with 365 beans only 1/2 a can and a handful of cheese organic and then I will stitch over to 1/2 stake prime rib and 1 egg.

Great review. Thank you!
