i'm here because road kill has a subscription, been watching power nation for a good few months never been happier
Absolutely can’t wait to hear that engine run
First power pull should make nothing less than 290 hp, NA.
Turbo forced induction should be extremely surprising..
Roger Marshall I have an old opel with a 3.0 litre straight six, would love to build it like this one
Pat is always teaching in a good way. That Hi five tho...😖😄
292👍👍👍. Torque and Horse Power. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Aluminum bed is killer.
Can't wait to hear that 292 roar......
Great to see the work on the old C10 and especially the 6 cylinder.
@@clintonepps3666 No not that. Maybe the Vortec L18 4.2 liter inline 6 from a trailblazer for a modern 6. I wouldn't use the Barra because it's a Ford motor. Don't put a Ford motor in a Chevy (I'm a Ford guy but I will defend Chevy guys when it comes to engine swaps)
I laughed so hard when they said they were tailgating the seeing them on the back trailer oh my 😂😂
The truck is coming along great. The new guys banter is a bit much, but the other guys seem to be handling it well.
I'm glad to see this show again.
I knew the inline 6 was comming back.
The 292 cube block can make some serious power. With all the new tech available in the fuel dept, I see nothing but good news for the L engine. Thanks guys, I'm going to. Start my grandsons first engine build with a 235 or 250. He's guna freek when he pulls that turbo out the box.👍👍
292 with 4 inch pipe, finish with 3 inch outlet. Could even split at the rear. AWESOME GUYS!!
Feels like I'm watching a episode of twilight lol they completely removed the old guy even from the intro 😂
The dead old guy?
@@jeffcivjeep7 not sure did he die?
Glad to see you guys doing something other than the same old V8 stuff. FYI I hear the 292's need a good aftermarket balancer like ATI to keep from rattling apart at RPM
What can you do with a Chevy 235 inline 6?
Lol the things they do specially in the beginning nice build guys BEAUTIFUL build
NICE project truck choice and execution guys!!! I LOVE the turbo'd straight 6.
Joe Silva Sr ui
Old "Pocket Protector Pat" is a riot......lol.....
I enjoyed watching, creativity 👍🏻. Thank you
Wanted to see him put that 10 gallon baffle in that 2 gallon hole. Now I’m disappointed
You guys have a cool job 😎👍
great job dudes!!
that beginning was too funny to handle. 10/10
I want to see the “dropped toolbox test” on that aluminum...
Yea the bed won't hold up to stuff like that. But I'm pretty positive that truck won't be doing any work any time soon
That test is usually followed by the "fist to jaw test".
I work my f150 to the bone it’s aluminum no problems.... but the beds of 18wheelers are also aluminum and they carry 10s of thousands of pounds... don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. I’ve driven all the trucks and the fords by far out tow and perform the rest.
@@freedomisntfree_44 I don't think it was a statement about how good are bad aluminum is for beds, in this particular case it is a show facade bed, not a real bed for work.
@@hawkdsl exactly
if you run too low on fuel you may loose fuel pressure and your engine will die... That's a pro tip right there!
“We’re tailgating someone” haha lol
Rides nice and tight... Guys jumping all over the seats.
Because there isn't an engine in it and they were riding inside the truck that was strapped to a flatbed........
8:54 no dent... "this is a very fragile piece of history here...." 8:58 two dents...*blatantly tosses it into scrap pile* "Almost hate it...Oh sorry about that..." 11:40 walk of shame.... I'm in tears, don't bring your dogs to work around that guy! What a plug, Love the show!
That intro fire 🔥😫
I like derelict builds but the newly painted roof, wheel wells and new wood-like aluminium floor is really out of place. Mechanically I love it especially the turbo I6. Why didn't you show how you installed that 10 inch baffle thru the 3-inch hole you drilled.?
That was too cool: I thought you guys were really driving that truck! Or maybe you guys did a switcheroo on us🧐
Should have just clear coated the wheel wells after scuffing them down. It would have looked bad ass in my humble opinion .....
Turquoise blue and rust brown: EPIC! I really like the engine block painted..SILVER!!! So tired of blacck.
Paint the letters on the tailgate to finish the white theme?
.
@4:12 That was funny and true LOL!!!
did you guys use zinc cromate primer on that aluminum?
Guys relax and be yourselves, y'all are trying to hard, y'all have the job work like you actually want to
Mornin yall
His accent slips a little
Yeah his fake accent gets annoying. Trying way to hard lol
sounds like a great lakes area accent
Its like kissing your cousin it might feel good but it's just not right😂😂😂
I don't know what slips worse his accent or an automatic transmission in Dodge pickups.
@@goat4298 OOF
Austin... Your boy band called. It wants the "_____" one back.
the whole episode was awkward.
The cringefest that is "TV style" I thought youtube had killed this shit off
The dynamics between the crew was screwy
@Lassi Kinnunen If you hear a company's name, it's paid product placement. They just happen to have kick ass sponsors.
@@retiredafce3373 i think this is the short guys first full episode
this 20 min infomercial is why I don't sub to channels like this
Should’ve fixed up the inside of that bed. I like the floor should’ve did the rest of the inside. Do you know like the interior make it Sweet. Six cylinder I guess different
205/5000
Great job, I'm from Brazil and here we are passionate about the Chevrolet Six In Line 250, where can I get an exhaust manifold like the one in the project? Can you pass the list of parts used in the engine? Thanks
I didn't see when you extended the tubs...
Thes guys talk more than Inforcision sales reps...but I get it!!
Are those rims 20s or 17s
LT don't know how to compliment cause he still feels like hes the new guy, now theres another new guy....
I liked the bed as it was before they redid it
292 is a great engine.. sucks gas like a 572.. but a good engine just the same.
Can ya show witch way pistons go n on a ls motor or an atv I got a piston on an ATV that's suppose to have an arrow towards the exhaust but not this piston it's holding me up on putting my trx450r atv together I need to no how to tell witch way they go n and how to tell if u got them n backwards
doe....FC for this truck really good....if I refill gas for rm30 ringgit I can used for week....yeah for single cam 6 cylinder engine and ofcuz it really fast....for V8 engine big it only cost around rm60 per week.... affordable gas price but unaffordable rustic truck in here...in Malaysia this truck quite expensive.
is this brokeback mountain???
😂😂😂
Is truck tech coming back to television?
When are u getting back on tv and what channel
It’s not on History anymore. Only NBCSN and CZcams I believe.
I'm glad I don't watch scripted TV anymore. They need to just let the guys work and talk and stop writing scripts for them to read.
Advertisers dictate the show so that's why i'ts scripted.
Lawrence Tolman has his own youtube channel and its exactly that
10:17 “cries in flat-rate”
What is the proper feeler gauge for stock chevy 350 build for valves
If it's a hydraulic flat tappet run down to zero lash and then a quarter-turn preload
Question. What did you guys do about the metal chips, from drilling, inside the gas tank??
Yes!! Very good question?!
Should have bought a fuel injection ready fuel tank!! They make em for these old trucks.
Maybe they're relying on the Fram fuel filter to catch the shavings.
You know the one thing that makes these shows hard to watch are all the stupid one-liners
I agree with a comment below clear coat the stripped tubs and not paint the bed strips white. Smoky Road is too prideful of the strips at $1200+!
Worries about the fuel tank in the cab, has no seat belts.
Probably only lap belts anyway. Not much to stop you from being impaled on the steering wheel or having your face smashed into the dash.
@@bmstylee Can confirm, lap belts only. I'm working on a '66.
clear coat it in amber/yellow tinted clear coat, and do double the usual coats...it will look sick at night, and when wet...
I thought it was going to be like "Trex composite decking board" from Home Depot
so this is a 65 body with 64 front fenders? Two emblems per side?
I thought it was 66 emblems. 64 and 66 are in same place,but different emblem. 65 emblem is on the fender. So you are on to something.
@@Chris-yj3zm Correct - The 65 and 66 had different rectangle emblems - 65 up high (10 beside the bowtie) and the 66 (10 under the bowtie in the same square) back down on the fender where the 64's were. The 64 had the different shaped emblem - bowtie on top of a square 10. I suppose it could be a 64 body with 65 aprons (whatever those pieces behind the hood are called). I also have never seen the arrows on the hood - are those add ons?
I love these old C-10's - I had a 64 for a long time!
Ohhhhhhhh yeah
Wen come back on tv
So if you paint the engine aluminum, does it make it lighter?!🍻
Only if it runs on Miller Lite. (The engine, not the driver.)
Yes
Recycling aluminum is all that shit is good for!! Lol!!
@@ralphsmull7049 😂
Dat intro tho
Great looking ride but you guys are a bit cheesy! Don't try so hard at being cute.
are these guys the property brothers on 4 wheels?
Rear fenders would have looked better if you cleared them in the sanded silver look. Flowed better with gray barnwood look. Just mho
I love a good engine build, be it a V8, V6 or inline 6. But that 292 sure isn’t it. There’s not many Chevy inline 6’s left on the road for a reason, as they are known for throwing the 1’s or 2nd connecting rods through the blocks after dropping the cam shafts. I’ve lost two Chevy in-line 6’s to that. One of those being a 292, the other a 250.

It was better just one guy on here
Does anyone know where I can find parts for a 1959 f100 I6? Such as some performance parts to improve the horsepower and torque by some margin. I can’t really find much so if does anyone know any websites I could find parts( headers, manifold, carburetor, etc)?
If "Clifford research" is still around , check them out( a mild sts on a fresh detailed six would help, if you get 250 Hp and 350-400tq that would be great) Try to find a 262 if you can ,I'll bet those things are rarer than Hens teeth.
Kevin McCune I would like to stick to a factory engine ( 223 ), but I will look that up. Thank you for your help!
@@jamesarmstrong1641 I think the 262 appeared a few years before the 240, it was touted as more powerful than the 223 ,using about the same amount of gas.The Farm my dad worked on had an old Ford F-100 with the 262 and I saw an old ton Truck with a 262.
Kevin McCune I agree but the value of the engine is substantial to me, my grandfather is 88 years old and I would love to get the original engine and color, and etc with it for me. Regardless if he drives it or not. With the gas mileage he got around 30 mpg with it traveling 70 miles or so when he travels from city to the country. I want to get a larger engine (V8) but I would like to keep it the way my grandfather had it. Still thank you for the ideas. And if you or anybody else has anymore suggestions, I’m open to all.
@@jamesarmstrong1641 I am sure ISKY made a bumpstick, would almost bet Offy made a manifold for this engine, just don't go too big on the carb,I had an old 223 in a 60 model, good depenable old engine.
Wen ready to c
should of put a barra in it
Early squad
Damn, boy, that was the only ugly year Chevy truck every put out....those rims are growing on me, tho. Really like the bed kit; glad they gave the supplier.
More of a challenge then
@@JonathanNichollsjono yup.....jack up the radiator cap and drive something else, anything else under it.....My buddy and I used to double date in an earlier Chev truck.....great memories.
1966 emblems
Everyting mad
But I know it’s a TV show so it really doesn’t matter does it
Now that's bad A$$ 17:42
Should've left the strips aluminum, white does not look good. Don't care for the white tubs either. Great truck though.
Great Job To Making Bed Floor Kit Chevy Pick Up Truck : Power Nation🌠 - Repairing C10 Chevy Pick Up Truck Bed & Engine MV : Bigolive Show By - Power Nation*🌠 ...... Cheerio.🌠☁🚚☁🌠👍👍👍🌠🌟🌠.
Paint that thing
who even talks like that i'm 99 % sure that "accent" is 100% intentional
He said he's from Louisiana. That's the common accent.
I want to see the truck not the two clowns fake insult each other.
Kind of cringy, these guys are trying hard to emulate Stacey David.
Yeah tv sucks. They demand high energy and dramatic stuff to add to entertainment rather than actually showing you what they are doing. All of tv is this way with diy stuff. It literally ruined the diy genre
Everyone is trying to emulate someone now days!!
Yes my shit added up on my Apache to an almost fricken divorce!!?? Lol!!
No seat belts!!!!
God their banter is so bad.
fake wood should be forbidden
That truck needs a paint job this patina fad sucks
In my opinion, there's NOTHING worse than seeing a excellent project ride and they didn't finish it by giving it a decent paint job. If you'll notice, there are NO patina color schemes on brand new 2020 vehicles. NONE. Come on fellas, paint that thing and do it justice. Do it right.
@@ralphsmull7049 your so right bro at least give it a factory looking paint job ✌
@@ralphsmull7049 manufacturers don't do factory rust paint jobs? That is what the detective types call a clue.
Definitely should’ve did White on the whole inside of the bed sides inside And fix some of them holes
Just paint the whole damn rig!!
Bed looks naff !
Please, I beg you, please, it's my biggest biggest dream. I really want to learn how to handle it. American mechanics, just like you learned from somebody someday, it is not possible to do a great charity, a good deed and teach me how to work with heavy mechanics too. I don't charge anything until I work for free for you. I do everything a little bit, just a lot of hardworking and very polite obidiencite I do everything you guys tell me to do on the spot, I do it on the run, it still won't be able to teach me how to work with heavy mechanics. Disel, please, I'm just a big fan of all of you. I love it when I was a kid and here in my country I never had the opportunity and the truth is also not like American mechanics, I tried to be a mechanic when I was only 10, from 10 to 12 years old, I worked in the heavy mechanics of an acquaintance of mine dad, just like i said i quit because it has nothing to do with mechanics i really want to learn for my life q is nothing more than american mechanics, right, please, i really help me to share his knowledge with me I, I beg you in the same way that someone TEACHED you everything you know today and you take it further, teach me also to be able to take it further, because my biggest dream is to be able to assemble a pickup truck in the American mechanical style, right ❤
You should go to trade school or trade college I went to the New York automotive and diesel institute and auto body college I did both the master mechanics and master auto body technicians course I didn’t do the diesel but it’s a lot of money it’s like 20 thousand dollars for 18 months minimum there’s lots of schools out there you can’t learn a trade by watching someone that person can be doing the wrong thing and have horrible work habits and it will rub off on you to get experience in any mechanical field is to have you base knowledge and then pick a specific field then go to school for it and then get a job in that field as a apprentice from a real master tech I am a Mercedes Benz BMW Lamborghini and Ferrari mechanic now for 7 years I didn’t learn by watching someone I had my base knowledge then take what I learned in school and then apply it in my own way along with the knowledge from other older mechanics there at the dealership and took what I wanted from them like I said you can have a mechanic for 50. Years and you see him and sometimes he’s been doing the wrong thing for the whole time and then you will make that mistake and it cost you later now everything is done not only by hands but by a computer new car mechanics at a dealership they aren’t real mechanics they are part changers because a computer says what parts wrong with a new car
Please let them use their real voices and not forced accents
Its like their trying to talk tough! Maybe because they're needing to go to bathroom!!
✅✅
Video had potential, but.......
The long scripted intro and then truck on flatbed. The goofy back n forth between the two is getting old.
Great idea for the bed, but the color doesnt work for me. Onto a different video.
I like everything about this truck except the "patina". That was cool 15 years ago but way overdone now. Why not paint it a '60s blue or green.
Forget patina. The only way you are gonna preserve that old bastard is by removing all the rust and repaint all the metal!!
Can the “Patina” fad be over now...please?
