I love my supercharged LS ‘73 swb fleetside c10
I bet! That sounds sweet. Michael says his next c10 build is gonna be some sort of boost build!
@@BabeApprovedRides oh yea, you guys will never look back…i boosted my nova first and shortly after i threw together my c10……..my cts-v was primarly the motivation…
maybe sand the wood with some 80 grit & then rub the goop on it...but nice Truck Sir...
lol right? I had to lay it down heavy but it still helped a lot.
That seat is so dope!
It’s the best! We have them in both trucks!
NOT THE GRINCH
He’s out and about!!
Great vid!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much! Be sure and subscribe for more great content!
Great coverage. I see ya'll Next Year.👍
Thanks! And hope to see you there!
I was there! That black 2 door Tahoe at the beginning of the video ❤ We usually bring my husbands c10 and my c30 but we had so much we needed to do before the show. Great video! It’s our favorite show too and we come every year from Knoxville 🤘🏼It’s literally the best!
Very cool! Yes it’s a great show. Thanks so much for watching.
If anyone is interested I'm selling my 1976 Chevy Suburban . It's a California truck and sat from 1994 until I bought it in 2022 . It is a 3/4 ton 4 x 4 with a Dana 44 front axle and a 14 bolt free float rearend . Underneath is real clean , the body has some small rust and patina . interior is pretty rough from the California sun . I would like to get 10,000. Runs great .
It was a blast! I was there with my grampa's old 71...4 months ago sitting forlorn in a garage untouched for 20 years, now, driving itself to the show both days! I was parked in that row over by the air conditioned indoor showroom between another patina's 67-72 and a sightly lifted white OBS GMC. Had my hood up, a leather soft cover on the back. Gonna see if it's in the footage!
Always a great show! Very cool to get that out on the road again.
@@BabeApprovedRides I thought I saw mine through the window in a couple frames near the end when you were showing off the indoor exhibits, too!
When we got that close to air conditioning, we ran inside 🤣
@@BabeApprovedRides Hahahahahaha I dont blame ya one iota!
Some nice ridez 😎
Some VERY nice rides!!!
You always do Great job
Thank you!
Beautiful Square Body Stepside Long Wheel Base 1973.
Thanks!
@@BabeApprovedRides 😎😎
Nice looking Stepside. I have a 74 same stance, new topend from carb down to the headers go right over the axles with a drop down exhaust. I want a manual conversion so bad.
Very nice! Manuals are fun!
I love the chrome
Me too! Chrome won’t get you home, but at least you’ll look good sitting there 🤣
@@BabeApprovedRides btw. What is your name. I am mike from Ohio
Nice score. Love my stepsides. I’m putting a longbed version on my 85 GMC 3500 crew cab.
Very nice! Yes, we love stepsides as well.
✌😊👍
I love long bed.sqarud body Chevy trucks I have to of them I have a 87 name lady blue and a 85 nay Candis both square body Chevy truck Candis I'm turned her into a Corvette lady is my every day driver unless I can find a k5 or a nother square body Chevy truck
Squares are great. And seem to come in pairs 🤣
Pickups with the long stepside box are hard to find these days.
Right? People love the short boxes but you just don’t see these!
@@BabeApprovedRides & 1973 was the first year for those Chevy & GMC square body models.
@@BabeApprovedRidesto find a cheap truck is to ride on old back country road that's where I found my to truck I bought my blue truck for $800.00 and my white truck I bought for $200.00 both in good running sheap
I love that bench seat! I want one for my Chevy ❤❤❤
They’re the best!
I have been looking for an ole truck for years! The prices are CRAZY ! A truck like that here in Fla would be $20,000 ! F that !
Yea, I bet! It’s hard to get them here in TN as well, because everyone wants them here. Huge c10 scene here as well!
Barry Beautiful 😍
Ol Blue Barry
Cool Truck Don't see those much today ! 😁👍
Thanks! And right? It’s really rare to see anymore!
also you could substitute the sawdust for toilet paper or tissue paper that's super glue and sawdust thing you can also do it with Elmer's glue or wood glue and sawdust especially for holes that are stripped out with wood screws it's not perfect but if it's what you got it's what you got I did this with a toilet paper and Elmer's glue for the front door screws for stripped out and now they don't
Very cool idea! Never thought of that.
I drive a 1971 Chevy Suburban k20 4 x 4 with a 14 bolt free float rearend and a Dana 44 front axle. It was sitting in California not driven since 1994 . It is rock solid underneath but has patina and some small rust spots on the body and of course the interior is shot from sitting in the California sun . It is now back just 1 hour from where it was born in Flint Mi. When I take it out I get thumbs up all the time. It has 2 tone paint and I think the main coat is the same color as your truck.
Wow that’s awesome! I haven’t seen another one this color yet!
@@BabeApprovedRides I wanted a pickup but settled for this . Still wish I had a pickup.
Very nice really like the color
Thank you! The color is definitely one of my fav things about this truck!
hi thats a cool truck i have a 74 short wide that i bought new its black 350/400 i worked at westlake chevrolet in seattle wa. i was nineteen.
Wow! You kept it all these years?! You’re smart!!
Which seat is that? They have a LB bench, ET bench and another one. Getting ready to order one and I like the height of the back part of your seat.
Oh I’m not sure exactly. When we ordered ours you selected your model year truck, selected if you wanted the center bolster or not, decide if you wanted cup holders, and picked your style&fabric. Also, we did get the lowering brackets which have adjustments on them!
Ok. Thanks
Just placed my order with snowden.
BURT!!!!
Burt 🥸
I was there and parked in the same lot as y'all.
Oh wow! Come say hey next time!
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. Love the content, especially Michaels Berry 😎
That is Michael’s life motto 😂🙈 thanks for following along! We’ll see how out of hand this one gets! lol
Is this engine for the Bronco? Look forward to seeing the plans to restoring that old Bronco! ❤
Yup! Throwing a Chevy motor in a Ford. Cleaning up the road one Ford at a time 😅
I’m not a junk driver I only drive Chevrolets 😏
lol! Me neither! That's why I had to FIX IT
Friends don’t let friends drive JUNK 😜
@@BabeApprovedRides exactly 🤣
I bought a Snowden seat for my 72 . It is the best seat ever! I picked up mine at the same terminal in Nashville just like you did. Are you all going to SETN this year?
Nice! ‘72 is one of my favorite body styles! Hope you love your seat as much as we love ours! Yes we are actually a sponsor for SETN this year. If you see us come say hi!
This isn’t going to end well…. 😅
😅😂🙈
You guys look like a blast to kick it with, great video
Thank you! Never a dull moment around here that’s for sure! 😅
Looks like fun
Had a good time! However, we do miss the show being in Mobile at Battleship Park.
Bro that seat is sick man. My S10 would love this
They're really nice, and it has held up well. I'd highly recommend one for the s10!
If you want to show it off, paint it!
I agree but new paint is sinful to the Patina boys!
Not quite a 57 delivery. Love the old cars
Same 🙌🏽
Now that's a beautiful daily driver let alone a work horse 😊
Jealous my guy!!!!
MEEEEEE
Not somebody you want to impersonate
It's just too easy when you see them all the time lol!
Dang water bills 🤣
Are you saving America?
one classic truck at a time!
#MERICA
When y'all ordered seat did it take a bit to get processed ? I ordered in 3-19-24 and it says awaiting processing. It says payment is good. I figured it's normal but was just wondering
Yes very normal! I’ve seen it take up to 4 months sometimes. Hopefully it’ll be sooner than that for you, but it’s worth the wait!
Actually just checked & looks like it’s 8 weeks from order date!!
That's a little to well down for my taste but still nice
I’m not a crusty gal myself, but I know there are some out there 🤪
I got a really crusty truck but it’s mechanically perfect . I love it cause it gives it character 😂
Love old trucks
You’ve come to the right channel!
Crusty!!!
very!
