That sure is a parade of NICE trucks!
It really is! We had a ball
As far as the Shasta goes,I vote for replacing the motor.It's a classic;classics should be saved unless they're beyond fixing.As an OBS 92 GMC K1500 owner and daily driver,I'm all for saving the old trucks.Peace,brother...
Sweet!
LS swap it and buy some 19” Alcoa’s to put on the Shasta. That would be cool and very different.
Can’t wait to see the show video!!!! Good luck with the Shasta hopefully the motor will be rebuild able!!!???
Thanks man!
I watched you open that soda about 5 times, laughed harder each time! Oh and LS swap Shasta can’t wait to see that content.
haha I knew it would be funny. I didn't even realize the camera was still rolling but glad it was..
I would keep the 400 and get an overdrive. Not everything needs to be LS'd
I hear ya
Shasta made a good cool spot to recoup this weekend! Another great video. See y’all soon.
Thanks, Bryan! That's exactly what it's for. A good place to hold up at these shows and travel with the family.
Keeping it real brother is what I like about your channel.... the ups and downs. Keep it going and do your thing on the Shasta
I appreciate that! Transparency is key
I love the idea of a LS in the RV , I've had the dream for a while of having a LS swaped lowered RV . Love the video because it's not everyday you have a convoy of badass gm trucks rolling down the road
Thanks, Sheldon!
Nice home on wheels. Looks clean
It is!
"Oil starvation"? Never heard that used as a euphemism, everyone always just used the standard, "ran it out of oil".
Haha i like to say the same things different ways. It’s fun. Lol
Save the Shasta! Really like it
That's the plan!
Watching this for inspiration for my video where we had two blowouts on the trailer trailering back my 73 C20 Chevy
Between United By Trucks & Cool Cars KJ all the good truck content comes outta Georgia
Ain't no slackin' out here!
I LOL'd hard at the exploding Topo Chico. Good job Rock! Lolololol
haha he set me up for that one!
383 crate from GM!! easy install...
You should build the white OBS into the RV from hell from tango and cash bro.
Haha I'll have to look into that
LOVE THE RV!
Thanks much!
Love the camper. Great paint scheme as is the upholstery. Would nice to see it left original engine wise.
I hear ya, but it doesn't make sense for my goals. And yeah, it's a super nice rig.
a rebuild of that 400 isn't a bad idea , a proper rebuild 400 small block is reliable and low maintenance, with some upgrade parts more power, but a LS swap is also nice
Thanks for watching, perry!
Cool video as always and about the van…sad😔but part of the road trips .take care man.
It's so true!
Love your videos brother..never got bummed out..2morr will be a better Day😎
You got that right!
Keep that head up and keep on keepin on! 🤙🏻 Kick in the nuts always sucks but forward motion 🤙🏻
Yes sir! Saw you and your wife walk by at SETN but never got a chance to speak to ya! So....hey. lol
Huck and Alex with their fancy aluminum blocks😤 iron blocks for the win!
Haha exactly!
that camper is cooler than penguin piss !!!
bahaha great analogy
Oh,if I lived near u guys,I think I would love hanging out with ya'll....
haha we try to have a little fun!
Sorry to hear that kitschy-cool Shasta ran dry! Dropping in an LS is a bit of an eye-roll. But it makes total sense (especially with a 4L80 in-hand) and rebuilding the 400 and dropping it in Ace gets a big thumbs up from me.
I know, I know. Ugh!
Looking forward to a build on this thing!!!
Well, it's happening whether I want it to or not. smh
I'm digging the Shasta & sorry to hear the engine took a dump. Great video & thank you for sharing.
You and me both!
Yeah I have a 1969 C10 with a nicely warmed up 350 that runs good & my son keeps offering his 383 SBC with FiTec or a 5.3 LS. Call me crazy but if it ain't broke why change it but the extra power would be sweet!
@@perrymahnke886 I agree with this wholeheartedly. That said, mine is BROKE. lol
Sorry, I didn't mean to hit a sore spot, lol just making conversation. As always great content & love the merch!
That’s how it goes 🙏🏼
Like# 377 Rebuild that 400 if possible. How's about adding a Holiday EFI Sniper on top of that engine and a 4L80E behind it? That will give you best of both worlds of Old and New School plus the reliability. I love the content and can't wait to see the next video of this fine Shasta and Smokey!
Thanks, man! I've considered it but if I'm pulling out the 400, it's not going back in.
Oh buddy. So sorry to see/hear your troubles to and from SETN this year! The only way to go is up! @grandpasquared.
Yes sir! Good to see ya man!
"Motherrrr of Gooooood" hahaha
haha!
2008 and up through at least 13 or 14 maybe earlier they have Chevy chassis van nose motor homes with 6.0 s so they would be a great find for your swap. Lots of wrecked damaged ones from storms. I am currently looking at the coachman leprechaun ones with the 6.0 s stock. They would be very simple trans motor swap. They didn’t change those frames much. Good luck. Great video.
Thanks much! That's what i'm targeting.
Small -blocks are pretty reliable, probably just an EFI conversion on the rebuilt 400 and a 4L80.
Not a bad idea
Love the content
Love the update...
Just gotta say, not a fan of LS swapping everything under the sun. It honestly seems so "Cookie Cutter" . Kind of like the "Rat Rod" crowd painting everything flat black with red wheels and wide white walls.
Other than that, Love the update.
I'm not either, man. And we don't and want. And I had every intention of not swapping this one, but if it's coming out, new technology is going back in its place. As I mentioned in the video, this rig needs to make reliable power and smooth, low maintenance operation. I know that LS are cookie cutter, but it's because they do everything well. And for this rig, I need everything to perform well.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS
I Do understand.
Keep the content coming
Brother it's your motor home, do whatever your little heart desires as long as it looks original on the outside. Plus it will make some great content if you do swap it.
That's the plan!
Sorry Robbie. Shasta wasn’t putting out any smoke at all the whole time I was behind you on the way to the photo shoot.
Thanks, Paul! Have no idea where it all went.
Only the plastic bottle topo chico does that. Glass bottles hit the spot way better. Teddy is lookin like a sweet 8Lb 9oz baby Jesus. Gorgeous truck man. Greetings from Oklahoma
Bahahaha that one made me laugh - and I'll have to go glass bottle next time.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS absolutely bro, on a hot summer day you should make a “ranch water” with them, all you need is a glass with ice, a lime , tequila, a pinch of sea salt and you’ll be surprised how refreshing those things are. I love topo chico. You should checkout my 86 on my channel. Tell me what you think.
Thats topo chico signature move lol, happened to me plenty of times, i seen it coming in slow motion as you was opening it lol.
It's ridiculous! haha
Love the motor home
Thanks man!
The clutch in my 82Gmc Sierra took a dump on me or I'd been at SETN with the c10Kentucky bunch. Local guy round home won best original paint in a yellow 72c10 lwb...next SETN I WILL BE THERE in the Flaked Tater 82 😎 video on my channel
That is a good looking rig. I have actual junkyard junk that I wouldn't pull out of the driveway without an oil pressure gauge.
It's got an oil pressure gauge and it was showing about 45 psi interstate running - until it showed 0. Craziest thing I've seen. To be clear, I'm not saying this isn't my fault but I drive old shit all the time and I've never had this happen. Ever.
love it.
Thanks, man!
I feel your pain....back when I had my '82 Stepside, I was trying like crazy to get everything buttoned up for Car Craft Summer Cruise in Lincoln....alot like what you did for SETN. Sunday morning, fired up, sounded like a million bucks and spotted coolant....running out of the header collectors....not what you want to find any time. I collected my thoughts, put the truck back in the garage and drove my daily driver, lowered '89 OBS. Disheartening, but educational experience 😃🤪😁
And we learn from them whether we make the mistake or don't.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS
Soooo painfully true, sometimes 🤪🤯😉🙂
cool
Love the RV sweet🤟🤙😎 I'm big fan of OEM stuff,LS swap with old school look with throttle body injection or multi injection 🤟😎🤙🥃
Now we're talking!
🤟🤙
Love that style RV. What year is that? I love one set it up to tow a small trailer with plenty of power for chasing the dirt bike circuit around the state would be pretty cool. If you do put a 6.0 in it a video of that would be cool.
It's a '78.
Damn Rocky party foul handing my man a shaken up drink lol sucks about the RV but LS is id say but I do love a 400 small block have a body with one in a C10 with some upgrades
haha he's a good'un
Omg I want to cry for u. It’s so damn clean too. But I’m sure u will ls swap and then it will be extremely dependable and parts will be easy to come by
Yeah, I almost teared
That’s a sweet GMC Rocky was driving, is that new to the fleet? 😉
haha very funny, Bob! lol We've been getting it back out just for you.
“That there Clark is an RV”
Exactly!
Lol
What year wheels are on smoky?? i need the same set so I can use my factory hub cabs like you did . Love the Shasta, if you decide to sell that 400 I would be in route immediately lol but would really be great in that badass van you got . Gosh darn brother your square collection is sick 😷 lol . Loving it . My name is rocky btw very few of us
3 of them are factory steel wheels. 4th is actually a Ford wheel but I have another GM wheel for it. The hubcaps are hard to find and very spendy. And hey, Rocky! :)
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS I see... My k30 crew srw came with the original rims and hub caps but obviously can't use the 16.5 so I'm on the hunt for some 16 inch factory rims. My hub caps are in great shape to I lucked out for sure .
Rocky set you up :))) made great vid content lol
It really did! Glad the camera was rolling.
You truck guy card is hearby rejected for 30 days for not checking the damn oil..🤭 dang dude..
Rightfully so. Though I did check it before I left. smh (at myself)
Hey robbie i have caps and simulators for an rv you can have them I don’t need them and I’m not gonna use them.
Sweet! I'll email ya, man.
What happened to your buddy John. Hope he is doing well!!
He decided to go in a different direction over a year ago.
LS Swap, for sure. maybe look into a 6speed trans to help with the rpm"s?
Thought about it but the 4L80 is so tried and true
I hope you pulled the drive shaft off when you towed it?
Yep, they didn't want to and I said there was no question it needed to come out. it came out. You can see it laying under the door on the gravel in video.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS You saved your transmission right there Sir.
If you rebuild the engine why wouldn't it be reliable? From watching your video it seems your displays weren't working. Fuel gauge, ran out of petrol. If your oil gauge was working you would have seen low pressure? Keep the same engine in your caravan.
Thanks, man. You have a but of a point and I appreciate it, but the oil pressure gauge was working, though I didn't notice anything abnormal 'til it was too late. As for the reliability, nothing compares to the power and adaptability of different climates like an LS. yes, I could fuel inject the 400 and i still might, but I'm going with the most maintenance free and power I can afford to move my family and the crew around the country.
DURAMAX SWAP!!!!!
Not this one.
Stick a diesel lump in the camper power torque and economy 💪🇺🇸
I like the 6.0 idea a bit better but only for ease-of-swap-to power ratio
Did the tow driver pull the driveshaft
Yep, they didn't want to and I said there was no question it needed to come out. it came out. You can see it laying under the door on the gravel in video.
Make it a reliable reliable rv, so you can enjoy it without the headaches of an unreliable power train. So if you feel than an ls is the way to, well, go for it!
Great advice!
I know this question has nothing to do with Shasta but…what ever happened to the C Plenty Suburban?
Still have it in storage
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS I’ve been pumped to see the build on that thing since the first video!
Definitely an LS Swap. Would love to watch a build on it.
Guess that's what we're up to!
I'm hoping for an LS swap on the Shasta! I have a 77 GMC Coachman Class C with the 400/400 combo and have wondered what it would be like to LS swap mine. I would tune it for that one!
It's looking like it's gonna happen!
SUP DOG
How's the trans now after being towed for 3+hrs? Did that get damaged now because of it.?
Nope we pulled the driveshaft.
😎👍🏽👍🏽💯
timmy willard
Shasta=duramax?
haha I wish, but not this time. Shasta = 6.0
Damn. Funny about the pop, not funny about the motor.
So true! My own fault though
LS swap it for sure. Dependibilty second to none.
Exactly
Driver is The Biggest Problem !! If ur Not Smart enough to Check All Before U drive and While ur driving , ITS ALL ON U !!!
I can agree with that mostly, however, it doesn't have anything to do with being smart and everything to do with being complacent because it was running so well.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS it allways runs well, then most of the time The Driver Pushes it Too Hard .
Definitely do the 6.0L and 4L80
That's the plan!
6.0 6L80
Yup
🤦♂️
Its a rad truck man, LS would be cool or a diesel of some sort
Fo sho! Can't wait to watch your Cummins build
LS swap, just to dependable not to.
It's true
A 6.0 and 4L80E will wake that Shasta up nicely. DO IT!
Agree!
Can't beat an LS
It's true
12:23
LS is the way to go .
6.0 combo because side of the road not cool. I’m sure the purists will be mad but it’s your RV.
Dude LS the heck out of that thing!!
No more trying to take long road trips til u have LS swapped the dam vehicle, the motor home, that K30 4door green turd ur always drooling over, LS swap the world Robbie
sell me the RV call it a day ( :
I don't think my wife would be very happy with that one
Bum-mer
Total bummer but the Shasta will make a comeback
6.0 and 4l80e is the way to go.
I think so!
Sell it to meee🤷♂️
No sir. My wife would kill me.
LS swap. Throw some old air ac in that sucka! It’s a sweet ride.
Yes sir!
LS swap!!!
lol
Trailered trucks SUCK !!!
Easy meow. We like them all.
