Agree with Slick, leave it alone it looks great as is
same. It should stay as-is.
@@skipbreakfast Same, she looks like she'll TCB as is...do not drop!
100% agree. And this might be one of those rare occasions where steelies wouldn't look so good. Besides, we all know what dually steelies look like and they're really not that great.
@@skipbreakfastdon't mess with success. $$$$$$$. 😅😅😅😅
Agree, leave it and use it to tow around the lowered stuff to some events - come meet the people!!! What a great find! I have a Corolla I'm getting ready to sell to fund my next project. Not sure what it will be yet, but hopefully something as awesome as this rig!
Appreciate the shout out, I didn’t cut the carpet that way haha
i feel the need to apologize.... i was just sitting here wondering " i wander if puddin ever snaps any bolts" 2 seconds later SNAP.
Dream truck! Keep it as a tow/daily. That dually is more your style then that white 6.0 😊
Leave it stock please!! Best vehicle I ever owned was A 1975 C30 crew cab dually camper special, 454 with turbo 400. It carried a 12 and half foot camper most of the 200 thousand plus miles it had on it. Took it with camper up and down the Alcan 3 times in the 80s and 90s. I am now 80 years old and that truck brings back great memories. Thanks Puddin
The AlCan Hwy is a tough long haul. Can't imagine doing it 3 times.
Stock most definitely
I'd probably redo those seats. or at least shampoo them a couple of times and hit them with some dye.
No offense but your truck was yours and this truck is his, it doesn't need to be what you would do, but you can still respect it and reminisce the same!
In fact, if left stock, then you will only see it in the background here and there as opposed to it he builds it, then you'll get a lot of content to take you back to those good ol days!
I don't know about you but I'd love to see him dive back into a lot more fabrication again! He enjoys it and that shows! I think between him and slick they could really transform the bed into one hell of a trick setup to really showcase not only their talent, but their passion as well! Leave the outside as it is (fix the rust spots if he wants and maybe paint the hood, roof and bed rails....) but cutting the middle of the inside of the bed out and doing some huge tubs to tuck semi wheels as well as leaving the rear axle, frame and an intricate suspension exposed (like a custom cantilever bag setup) along with a really nice sheet metal design in the front of the bed housing the air ride system with crazy hard lines and custom brackets and mounts would be amazing!
OR slam it static and put in a high performance/big (ger) cube motor and make it haul as..... !
@@Hobodeluxe960I agree
The red needs to absolutely go! After the last square body interior he did, this one needs to eclipse that! (Ironically he said he did it because his buddy deserved it because he's so selfless..... Puddin have him that truck, he gave back the previous owner of the "some day model a", he's honest and extremely thankful for us to and is absolutely sincere when he said it! If ANYONE deserves a quality interior, Puddin does!
This truck has so much exponential potential, there's absolutely no way he should just leave it stock! (He knows that though, there's no question that he really wants to proceed to see where he takes it!);
Wow 5k was a steal! I love this model of square body. Great job 👏
A truck like that with no transmission or engine goes for about $5k by me!
I got my truck last August. 1989 F250, long bed extended cab, not crew. 460 and C6, also red on red. Dragged the thing home and got it running. It needed a fuel pump and rear brakes. Interior just about as minty as this rig. Threw one of them Apple CarPlay head units in. The thing cost me $250. No, I didn’t miss any zeros or commas. Guy had let it sit since 2011 and just wanted it out of his driveway.
I love when people find deals like this.
@@chrischieff5784 I really needed it too. I was sleeping in my 1989 Mustang just a few months before getting that truck. An old friend reached out and gave me a couch to sleep on. Now I’m renting a room from them while. That truck is still mine but I let their oldest drive it to work every day. I’m still working on my old 1996 Mustang so he can drive something that isn’t a total gas guzzler.
There out ther...some people look at them as a gas hog, thats why they let em go cheap. and or. they don't want to pay a mechanics rate to fix it.
If , when you replace any component of the power steering/hydroboost system on any vehicle, you will elevate the front wheels where you can easily turn them without starting the engine, top off the reservoir , steer it back and forth a couple of times before you start it, that will cause the large piston in the power steering box or power steering rack to push the air out and fill everything with oil. When you start it without doing that it aerates the fluid and those bubbles make the pump cavitate causing the whine sound and since its full of air bubbles it over flows the reservoir because the air displaces fluid. just make sure the the reservoir stays full while you purge it as described with engine off. Power steering fluid should be used in power steering systems, transmission fluid breaks down the seals and permeates the hoses. When I was first starting out as a mechanic I put transmission fluid in the power steering systems and had a lot of leaks, an older mechanic told me about the problems that occur if you don't use PS fluid, just passing it on, good luck and great video.
I ain’t getting nowhere sitting on my ass watching Puddin but here I am I’m doing it anyway
Right?!? Plus the boy is now making damn near two hour shows!
It's allowed for things such as a new Puddin' vid! 😁
Everyone needs a break, at least at the end he will make sure to kick you ass back into motivation! 😂
True that lol. Puddin actualy gets me motivated to keep getn up and out and about working through projects aswell as trying to reach goals in life. And i suffer from depression,anxiety related probs,ptsd and other things. And just watching puddin first off it takes my mind of things and gives me a good laugh and feel good vibe wich continues into motivation im amazed.
I gotta say when he says that at the end,it motivates me to stop looking at my phone and go down the garage to work on my project!
Leave that dually the way it is, that's a very sharp looking truck, very clean for a 91 model. Now if you want to really shine them aluminum wheels get you some bull snot, it's for shining chrome and the truckers use it on their trucks to shine the chrome. Great video as always,
I'd leave it, but it's your truck. I'll be tuning in whatever you decide😊
Reminds me of what this old timer used to say, "run she may, shine she must".
I’m team as is for this truck! Love the others slammed, but this has a big girl look to her, and having that clearance adds to the look imo. What a great find!
Some say "She's been passed around like a bottle of Crown, But lord was she sweet to me"
Sounds like the moto for this ol gal
Dang Pudden! You found a cream puff! What a great rig!😊
I just picked up a 2000 Chevy k2500 with the 454/4L80E have to change the steering box and front end linkages. This video definitely made it feel more doable. Great buy puddin
Those are powerful & got drinking problem
@@briantruck2284 going to find out. Traded my obs power stroke for it needed an automatic for the wife and still needed to haul a camper.
Leave it like it is. You got a great deal. Nice truck.
If it was mine Puddin , I'd leave it just like it is except fix a few lil things I noticed as you were working on it. Like replacing the swaybar bushings with polyurethane bushings, connect that cruise control rod back up to the that actuator where it goes and see if the cruise control would work. And after that, I'd ride that Cowboy Cadillac.
As a fellow squarebody crew cab owner I can agree that truck is good as is, you're not gonna save any money by doing too much work to it if you intend to occasionally drive it every now and then for hauling stuff. I use mine for long distance hauling across the states and have diesel swapped it in stead of the 454 it had originally, tripled my MPGs. Those seats are amazing and they'll be great for the long drives.
Man Puddin i wish i could find one like that. Great rig!! I agree with Slick leave it alone.
Slick-Fifty did a great job cutting and polishing the paint!!
i appreciate that you dont spoil the video in intro's
Me too sleeperdude needs to stop that I try and skip the first five minutes because I don't want to know what's gonna happen
@@ChristisGOD1611 Yea, I hate that also. At least put a chapter stop in so it can be skipped with one click.
rich over at deboss garage does that too but it’s not that big of a deal
I'm glad he doesn't do hair loss commercials or some kinda green crap ads. He keeps it just his content.
I'm Team "Leave it as is" ! Something you might want to check is the plate underneath the throttle body. I had a '92 extended cab chevy that carbon'd up on me a few times over the years. i learned from an old timer to run STP (or what ever your favorite fuel additive is,) every other fill up and try to keep the plate as clean as possible!
I drove one like that on a ranch in western Oklahoma. “Big Red” also ran on propane for less stops. I miss that girl.
This truck would be an amazing add to the fleet. I hope you keep this one for the long haul.
Bill knows his shit.
Dang. That was a steal of a deal. Sucks for the last guy but those deals where incorrect diagnosis happened are the best.
Man, I'm lovin' this thing. Had no idea the HD trucks like this went all the way to 1991.
IAC. (Idle air control) motor is located in the t body. Pull it out and clean the pintle and where it seats. It is a controlled vacuum. Also be careful of the gasket as you put it back or replace it. You can watch it open and close if you have a scanner. To determine if it's the cause of your stumble. Pretty common and won't usually throw a code...
Keep her coated with Sweet Patina and leave it alone! Awesome truck sir!
I do like the long format videos -- yours are better than most because you keep telling us what's going through your mind, not just working silently as if you're already bored with the task. Good job of editing when doing multiple bolts, wires, wheels, etc! One suggestion: please put a dab of thread lube on bolts/nuts to make easier to assemble (and remove next time). The screeching exhaust flange bolts (1:24) were trying to tell you they're too dry!
i own 4 late 80's early 90's tbi gm trucks and they all improved greatly by rebuilding the TBI/regulator it is way easier than a carb and the rebuild kit is around $20. My son didn't think he needed to rebuild his but i talked him into it and he was surprised
by how much better it ran.
Wild Bill would be in Hog Heaven, drivin this pickup down a back road, with "Rush" cranked up to 11.
Pink Floyd and a doobie
I picture Wild Bill as a CCR guy, maybe a Dead Head, keep the truck stock.
ya'll could be wrong he kinda seems like an early YES (not the 80's crap) man to me .
Man Puddin looks like things are working out good,Consistent content,cool builds,We are loving it.Great to have Bill showing up more often.
Isn't it a crime, this Dearborn,Michigan born ( world headquarters to Ford ) is a ginormous fan of Pudding's Fab Shop! If that was my future ride would be called LLC "Eagle Machine Hauling!"
Hey PuddIn, if you park a vehicle for very long, you need to add Staybil. It works like a charm
Love seeing Bill be more involved in the vids!!!!
Bill & Slick add instant production value 😂
All I'm saying is this truck fits you and the channel more than the 2500 as a tow rig. Hope to see more of it and as always, great video!
That right there is a country limo! Nice find. Seems to run decent too.
I owe a 1999 GMC12 foot truck ... dually! I can walk around in the box,(I'm 6'2") with my boots on! Best dually I have ever owned.350 Vor-Tec...runs strong @ 91k miles on it!!!!
That's still new
As a dually guy myself I gotta say I’m super pumped about this😂
I’m all about that slammed look on an old square body but that truck is a looker and I wouldn’t do anything but drive her she’s a survivor love all the content keep rocking them out and God bless you and your family
Blue Magic is the best aluminum clean up polish/cleaner, if the surface doesn't have to be cut first. Also trick to help remove buffing oxidation, spray buffed surface with Lucas Slick mist after buffing to wipe surface clear of buffing build up.
AS IS!!! LEAVE 'ER STOCK!! Great Video Buddy!!
Pretty sure you got a good deal. Leave it stock.
Side note: Those TBI's or fuel injected in general, if you cycle the keys a few times, it will prime the fuel system!
Keep it stock. It’s got the right look for a stock height small wheel. If you keep it you’ll still have the Loadstar build that you have the semi wheels for. You can have best of both worlds. A stock classic tow rig and a slammed diesel swap custom international. Kinda like the Datsun vs YeeHawl
Being from Illinois, land of rust and corruption, everything you push into your shop just floors me!
I live on the Mexican border
U would cry what people scrap down here rust free with factory tags
If you take a torch and go around those hard plastic, faded door panels an lightly hit em you can make them look like new again if you didn’t already know it will do amazing puddin
Love seeing Bill helping he seems to be a great friend hope you and the family are doing good sounds like you got rid of the cold
Always good to see Bill! He called it! Hanging out with your friends to compound and buff out and old truck to lookin' good, is one of my most favorite memories... it was A LOT OF WORK, but working together to knock something out like this is priceless! EXCELLENT FIND! 5 grand is a STEAL! The new setup with the machines in the main shop is a WIN! Now off to finish my project!
yeah 5 grand for that is a great deal. especially after finding out the trans was okay, and the fuel tanks and sending units/pumps. he got really lucky and or blessed (depends on how you wanna look at it)
Hey Puddin when you swap steering lines and fluid (and the gear) if you put the truck on the lift and work the steering back and forth lock to lock for about 10 minutes before you start it that usually helps get the steering system bled before the pump causes the fluid to get aerated. 5 grand for that rig is a pretty good deal considering you got a stereo system with it and no major components damaged. You get that AC working and that carpet kit you were talking about and a dash cap and that truck will definitely be worth double your money in the square body market! Great buy and love the content as always!
You can change the pitman arm but if you want really good steering change the steering box if it is leaking and it will drive like a new truck just make sure to check how many turns on the steering wheel from Lock to lock.. some were 3 turn and some were 4 turn... if you decide to keep that steering box you can loosen off the 5/8 in nut and turn in the hex screw 1/8 of a turn or more but if it bottoms out back it off or the steering will not return to center which is a dangerous situation.. personally I would keep it on the original suspension... you might want to pressure test the cooling system while you're at it to make sure it's good to go.. nice dually Puddin !
Man, a new wheel and tire package would be cool, but I like it sitting ready to tow.
I've seen many bagged dualies towing gooseneck trailers fully loaded....
So rare the back fenders aren’t beat off of it.
That's a rare thing 😅
Hey Puddin! Anytime you want your money back just let me know. That's a killer truck and you got a killer deal. A little better camshaft would really wake her up too. Keep up the great work!
Drive it as is. That’s a great rig for your investment and it will only be original once. You’ve definitely added to the life of it with what you’ve done. Keep up the great content and thanks for all you do.
You got a great price on a really good truck!! Those starter issues can throw people off sometimes. Puddin figured it out with his superior troubleshooting skills!!!!!!!!
Drive it as is. Also, get yourself another screw jack or two for under you lift. Makes doing exhaust/transmission work way easier than trying to man-handle and use zip ties/bailing wire to hold things up 😉
Master P i am so glad for you that you moved your fab stuff over so its so much more accessible for use !
Definitely leave her as is. This is one that does not need to be slammed. What a great find and for only 5000.00, you could not find one where I live for that price. She cleaned up really good.
Don't count them ol' smog era 454's out, just needs a heads & cam package and she'll make ya proud! Nice save, that interior looks real cozy.
Yeah like punching it out to a 562 and a menising exhaust that just rumbles your soul AT IDLE!
How nice is it when Bill just pops up that would have sucked to move that truck without a 2nd person.
Hey there Puddin ,
I don't know if you know this or not but on , old school engines without cats on the exhaust system . You will have really good luck with using oil for diesel engines ! It has zink and all the other minerals and vitamins that every good dinosaur needs ! Too save the cam and lifters , and keep the engines clean and running a long time ! I always use SHELL ROTELA (NOT THE LOW E TYPE ) 15/40 ! It really does work well for old gas engines ! Anyway I love the new family member , and l vote to keep it stock height , that is what really makes this truck look sooo damn cool and it is the first thing you see when you walk up to it and makes you want to see more of this beautiful truck ! Thanks for a great show 👍 as always !
my buddy had issues with steering on his hydroboost and we pulled one of the return hoses and ran it to a bucket. started the truck and added P/S fluid until it ran clear and it cured his issues. pulling the stick on the reservoir it looked clear but pumping it out under pressure it came out black.
Back in the day I had a "75" 3+3 with the 454, 4-speed. She was a monster. Leave like she stands, priceless classic.
Better tuck those hoodie strings... That fan looked hungry 😮
Just like everyone else spring break brings the movies out. Well guess what. I’m on vacation painting a wall so big screen it is!
That's a nice truck Bud. I would have to keep that around just to look at. Nice purchase. Love how you keep the old stuff rolling. 👍👍
I nursed 13mpg out of my K2500 CCSB with 454/4l80 on a roadtrip at 65mph. There is hope!
Oh Wow, you scored big with this one! Those are worth some dollars and the price just keeps going up on those! That's a keeper! 😁👍
Those are one of my favorite trucks ever. $5K? You stole that truck!
Man, I think I got more excited when your squarebody dually started then when my 1985 k10 did. I love those front ends and im currently looking for 1 for my 1985, that said when it comes to duallys I think the old round eye lights with the old trim to section to 2 tone is the move. Thats the direction i want to go when I finally find one thats not full of rust and semi affordable.
Leave it stock. Looks great!!!
You’ll be glad later if you keep it stock. Popular methods of making them more personal change about every five years. It really looks good like it is. Handles good runs good. Good find, Puddin. 😮
Great find! and good job getting it running and looking good. I love it the way that it is.
Puddin+Dually=fun on Monday!
"MICRO BUBBLES" remember that next time you try and bleed a power steering system. And when you bleed it jack/ lift front wheels OFF the ground and then go full clock with the wheel a bunch. It takes several miles of driving for all the air to work it self out.
That's a cool rig, I'd leave it stock....maybe fix the rust and give it a proper OG paint job.
Nice find. Leave it stock, work out some kinks and make it a reliable tow rig. Could still have some vacuum leaks for the stumble.
Loved this video…especially the focus on how to polish the wheels 👍🏼
I suggest keeping it stock. Possibly Add a fifth wheel and upgrade to a bigger longer trailer. Perfect for some of the builds you have currently or upcoming builds. God Bless y’all!
I really hope you keep this truck around, leaving it the way it is. That is a gorgeous truck, great find!!!
That's kinda how I got my 88 Sierra, fella thought it had rod knock, nope loose flywheel. Got it for 1500 bucks with no rust and 120,000 miles.
I thought we were gonna lose you at frame 50:32 when your hoodie's drawstring got a little too close to that radiator fan...lol! Be safe my friend
You killed it on the Duelly!! That was a great buy. I know 454,s are horrible on gas. But that's a great tow rig. Hopefully I'll get down to one of your events your at. I'm a hotrod builder up in Kansas City.
What an absolute rig and a absolute great purchase!!! I have always liked the slammed dually look but for some reason I think that this should stay just how it is!! Maybe a new exhaust and updated wheels would have it looking even better, but again not really needed cause it looks great as is!!! It would make you a great shop truck to!! Much love and respect to ya Puddin!! 🤘🏼💯🤘🏼
Agreed, this looks just right somehow, just needs polished up.
I had a 75 model and wish that I had never gotten rid of it. You have a truch made for hauling. Thats what you need for your business.
Ya this is a great purchase. Not too rusty, the undersides rust free and the interiors not baked.With a 5th wheel you could do some long hauls.
I'm team "LOWER HER 5"/7" DROP". I have 91 SQBY DUALLY as well. I lowered it on stock wheels that I had powdered coated. Helper bags for towing and upgraded to ACES Fuel injection in place of TBI. Love it.
No matter which way you go ... You can't beat an ol squarebody
Time for puddins fabrication to throw a celebration on the amazing transformation of this piece of chevy transportation.
Amazes me that someone who couldn't see that none of the teeth were missing, thought they had the ability to pull a trans and replace the flex plate. Like saying the motors blown when your just out of gas. Crazy.
Agree with Slick, leave it as is.
Badass video,I absolutely enjoyed this one bro!! You deserve it,you and your crew grind it out Always💯❤🙏
1. Leave AS IT IS! Agree with Slick
2. Enjoy it for yourself for a while
3. Get a battery operated heat gun for that shrink tubing. I cringe when you blow torch it. One of these days it's not going to go well. DeWalt makes one.
1 more thang Puddin..! It is a 3x3 the console in the front lifts up to be your 6th seat....
Turning good quality merchandise into projects is why I come back every week
Now this is a puddin truck. That thing looks like it has tons of torque. Nice to see you smiling and happy! Might be worth keepin this one. Real lovely lookin truck. Bet it'll pull that trailer of yours with no issues.
Nice find ....now you have a backup tow rig .....good content and thanks
Boy o boy you stepped into a pile of lucky haha
Howdy Puddin. I say leave it just like it is. You and Slick did an awesome job cleaning it up. I’d use it as a local runner to the junk yard. Fix carpet in interior at some point and do a video on putting locker in it. 😊. Love your work!
I really hope you leave it as it is. It already looks great.
🤩Nice find, keep it stock, you'll get a lot of use out of it for sure.
Harbor Freight blue sponge pad and Mothers #12 cutting compound, with a spray bottle of water, takes the thick oxidation right off and makes it look like you clear coated that patina after you wipe it off. Just make sure you use the spray bottle fairly liberally. Keeps the friction heat at bay.
