42:42 sounded like somebody soiled themselves. 😆 love the truck. I have the SUV platform, a 1996 2500 4x4 Suburban with the 7.4L 454 engine and the 4l80e trans with 8 lug wheels.

That's the first time I've watched a lift being done, so used to watching them drop! That was awesome watching you all chip in with the build and the comradere that ensued. Liked the white crew cab too 👍

Those "heavy half ton" obs trucks are awesome. 6lug 14 bolt rear , boxed frame . Very tough still but that 6.5 is junk lol . Good to see y'all giving er some love . Please please please more frequent uploads.....edit ... I wonder how many trucks with these options were made . Very interesting combination of options
@Crazysnake212 Рік тому
The 7.3 Powerstroke is just a wanna be 6.5
@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Рік тому
I agree - very unique combo and glad to have it. I'm gonna run that 6.5 til it gives out and love how it sounds. lol I'm trying to keep the uploads more frequent but it's all about being inspired to create it for me. I'm trying to stay inspired and not burnt out.
@SchnelleKat Рік тому
can't say diddly about a 6.5 until you've owned one and ran it though 100k+ miles. you could say the same about a powerjoke and cumapart. you'll fry the wiring harness and everything else just trying to start the piece of junks.

Man I love those 90's Chevy trucks! I guess you can call this a dirty build, since it ain't clean. But I love it! 34s might have been a tad overkill for the fenders, but they sure look nice with those rims. Love the sound but personally I would probably use a mild muffler just to play nice(ish) with any potential other human beings in the vicinity.
