Budget Shop Truck. WILL IT DRIVE AGAIN? 1976 GMC SHORTBED Conversion. 

If Slick was a real friend he would put fake snakes around the shop to prank you. Good content.

You need a shop kitty! A cat to keep the snakes and mice in check. All you have to do is feed them inside the tool room and give them a nice warm place to sleep and i promise you, you wont see another snake. Lock them in the shop at night for a few weeks to establish their home. Keep their litter box clean and theyll take care of your shop! Around here we call them barn cats, theyre the best and coolest way to get rid of unwanted critters

Puddin is as humble as they come. Love that you show what it's like for 95% of the population who work on their own rides. Great channel! Thx for letting us come along for the ride!

The ears were bent in on your drive shaft and yolk from pressing the old u-joints out. When I went to tech school for GM, they actually told us to never press joints out. They have a different tool to beat the opposite yolk downward to force the caps out. Drive shaft and yolk ears can be bent easier than you think. Most of the time, once you press the joints out, if you lay the inside of the yolk on the edge of your vise, and give the outside edge just under the ear a smack, it will bend the ear right back to where it should be. Your u-joint will go in nice and the clips will go in just like they are supposed to. You did well to sand the u-joint holes in the yolks, but you also need to make sure to dig the clip grooves out completely with a pick.

Be glad you have all of these fancy battery powered tools today boys, back in the day (yah, im old) we did all of this same type of work with hand wrenches, sockets and breaker bars

You know I got to say my Monday would not be complete without ending it with some puddin Fab shop action😂👍👍

I am guessing you’re a man that appreciates the truth. Me, like I am sure a lot of other fellows are a day away from losing their minds. It is beyond what is understandable for most. But what you do for us is priceless. Seriously thank you.

Been watching since about 20k subs. No matter what stresses the week brings, being able to sit down for an hour to laugh and forget about anything else is great. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll only continue to grow 👍

I feel like I’m watching a mix of every brake job I’ve ever done.

That short bed is coming along nice . Hank the tank will love it . 😉. Keep it on the down low you took the restrictor plate off the red dragon..🤫

That's a sneaky snake! He's waiting to catch you off guard again! 😂

Puddin, I just about spit out my coffee when you were trying to catch that snake. What a great way to start the week off. Keep up the good work

The vacuum bleeder in my experience have always been pretty finicky on new masters or new lines. You generally always want to bench, bleed the master, and do the initial pedal, bleed and then vacuum bleeding goes a lot easier.

48:26 that was the reason my dad had a washing machine in the shop 😆

No Bill, no Slick, but a special guest Snake. Excellent video, thanks for sharing!

Crazy I just turned this on and bam here's puddins new video! Gotta love a old square body.

This is a great video! It shows what the rest of us go through working on old vehicles!!!

I didn’t know if I would like your videos but I watched the whole thing and I like it. It’s fun hanging out with you. Cool stuff.

Watching you struggle makes me not feel so bad and inspires me to keep trying. Thank you. Keep crushing it bro.

Having the proper drum brake tools 🔧 is awesome 👌

While I don't much like lowered trucks, hot DAMN do I ever appreciate your workmanship, sir! 🤘

Slick Fitty, or maybe Hotrod, needs to get a rubber snake and tie a fishing line on it and hide it in the tool room... Fun times for ol' Puddin'! 😁

Best part of Monday y'all. It's Puddin time y'all. 😂😂😂. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab on. Weld on. Keep Making. God bless.

Puddin love the hard work your family is putting in to your landscape.i see you got a gate finally always worried about privacy great job.

Your snake battle was funny as hell 🤣 I was cutting a lawn with a zero turn mower years ago when a snake started biting at my leg, chasing me around with me trying to control the mower and I lost control and ran it over. Had animal control come and look at it and it turns out it was a brown rattle snake, at the time I didn't know they existed in New England. I was never afraid of snakes but now I'm a little leery. Anyway I grew up working on square bodies and absolutely love them. You're doing an awesome job resurrecting that truck. Yeah there is always problems but you overcame them and built a cool truck. Great video as always 👍✌️🇺🇲

The hardest-working guy on RU-vid! In this episode, you impressed me with your attention to detail and your commitment to getting it right. Of course it is taking longer than you guessed... you're having to overcome a lot of not very common issues. Good job on coming out on top!

OK Puddin, that “snake hunt” was a good belly laugh! Love the content.

Same rear 3:07 gears I had in my 1981 blacked out black Chevy step-side truck that I lowered really low would pull my blown and injected BBC Cole runner bottom drag boat thru the desert at 95 mph all the way to the river at Parker Arizona from Buena Park Ca. Also had a 55 gallon barrel of race fuel in the bed and the top to my tool box and rode awesome the whole way. It was so low you could not get your hand under the frame cross member under the trucks oil pan when it was sitting. Thanks Puddin for all your hard work and great videos. Love your merch too.

The compressor in your fridge is warm when its running, that's why he climbed in there.

Man you got to be loving that lift makes everything so much easier

Another Monday, another night of Puddin' time!

I like the longer videos. Folks love you and will watch what you put out. I sport a Puddin shirt daily. The new shop rocks.

Feel like we're building together.

Puddin fighting a snake was the highlight of the past week

45:45 hey puddin, to get that parking brake cable off, put a hose clamp on the fingers, tighten it just enough to compress them, then yank the cable out. 60% of the time, it works every time...

Call that lil snake bigfoot cause he's hard to find ✌️ & ❤ puddin !!!!

REALLY WANT THAT LONGSLEEVE PUDDIN!! Would love it if you offered international shipping soon! You have tons of fans in Australia mate.

I been watching you for a coupla year now , it sure brings back alot of old but good times when i was learning to do allthe stuff you do.i'll be 70 in 2 mounths.

I use a small hose clamp to compress the 'fingers' when removing the parking brake cables from the backing plate.

For brakes check the rod length to the master. My buddy had one that was adjustable and the rod was set too long and no matter how much he bled the brakes couldn’t get it to stop good. Adjusted the rod to where it wasn’t pushing the plunger on back the master and bam, stopped on a dime.

Doing a great job puddin.

Puddin vs Snake can out good. Thank you for not killing it. Help keep the mice and other rodents away. Lovin this build.

Happy to see the use of the brake tool... now for the love of God please invest in a hand-held tubing bender that makes for quick work with no kinks when forming new brake lines! For all the brake work you do, it's a no-brainer! 🙂

Thank God it's Puddin time. I totaled my truck Friday and needed something good

Love the truck. The paint and color is amazing.

God bless you all that deal with snakes regularly. I recently listened to your interview with Vice Grip the other day. And enjoyed that. Keep up the good work

The snake episode had me rollin!!!! 😂

Golly gee whilikers, Professor! Nothing we love better (almost) than some Puddin on Monday! Have a great Thanksgiving....God bless!

Ain't nothing wrong with using a speed square on your car projects. I do it all the time!

Puddin reminds me of a young Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty. Love this guy!

I bet your proportioning valve was shoved all the way to one side. When she got in there to push on the brake pedal it probably moved back to center

Epic! I had a friend that went through the Spicer school (that's the good brand, btw)... he just used a big hammer and hammered the crap out of the thing. You beat on the cast parts, not on the joint or the shaft. Use the vise as a spreader to hold while you beat the yoke down... carrying the end cap with it... then flip the thing and beat it through the other way. Big-ass hammer does it. Final thing is to beat the caps against the clips to get that freed up.

Awesome truck needs a locker in the rear.cant wait to see you put more horses in the engine

Sleeperdude would have ran out of the shop at the first sight of that snake!

I love this series. That truck came out amazing.

Man oh man. This truck is looking good!

Just noticed that you now have OVER a quarter of a MILLION subscribers!!!! Congrats, Mr. Puddin. Oh, by the way, Mortske has 141K subs.

It took me two master cylinders to get a good one. Same problem with the front. Had to buy a name brand that hadn't set on a shelf for a long time.

I think you should start international shipping for the overseas people that come watch every video to support the channel, please 🙏🏻 I feel left out 😢

Hank will be happy with her new vehicle!!!!!!

This truck is turning out so slick!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PUDDIN & FAMILY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

Holy 2 hour video Mortske! 👍

Good video Puddin,Keep them coming.Always a good week when puddin throws the video at us.............................................Fort Worth,Tx

Hot Damn It's Time For Another One 🤘

At least your two hour video's are entertaining the whole way through, I put on a Mortske video when I'm having trouble falling asleep.

Watching you with rear drum brakes is hysterical. Makes me feel old though...

A lot of attention to detail and safety. I hope that one of your daughters enjoy the truck.

I have been binge watching Mr. Puddin for the past few weeks. Been an awesome channel. One thing to consider, when dealing with flared fittings, I was taught to tighten to help seat, then loosen and retighten. It has been a trick I have learned to prevent leaks.

I just rebuilt the drivelines on my Blazer. I am so glad to see that I wasn’t the only one that had a problem with U-joints. 20 minute job lasted 2 hours.

Great work Jacob. Pissed myself laughing at the snake bit. Extremely entertaining 😂.

I always push the caps to the outside and after installing the new ujoint hammer around the ears of the shaft which tend to push together then the joints free up.

finally got me a shirt ordered. typically my size sells pot before i get around to looking. pre order was the key thank you soooo much

As much as your not a fan of snakes , I’m a fan of you dealing with snakes , I had tears running from laughing so hard. Haha

Thanks for not hurtin' Mr. Slithers... So glad you found him. I'll be by yer place tomorrow night to pick him up. Hell I was about to put up flyers!

I can really relate to Puddin. For me it's a rare thing for a car repair not to take a lot longer than I thought it would.

Man that ole jalopy gon ride better than a caddy😅 goin to be a great truck!! Awesome job!!

I see that hood on the wall, I called it several months ago. Haa😅😅😅😅😂😂🎉🎉 Do you want my 62 Benz 2 door? Its on an s10 frame already…

Puddin, how you know that's the same snake. You may have a nest in there 😂

let the snake do its thing..you never see a mouse or rat .your show is awsome and you give me the inspiration to do my own work.best to all at pudddins fab shop!!!!!

My project cars are early vw polos (yes, smaller than the rabbit/golf) and the size of the parts you pull of to work on with one of these American icons always gets me!

I really like how down to earth and real this guy is, like the long video too. Look forward to the next, thanks for sharing!

Hot dammmm! I just realized it’s Monday best part of the week!you the man two time Tommy

I absolutely love it when a Puddin video drops. Never fail to cheer me up. Thank you good sir!

When we mix new new and old things, ..it happens. Happy Thanksgiving to the Puddin family. 😅

I was waiting for you to grab the brake line once you loosened the union. Only because that’s what I was thinking to do as soon as I watched it break loose lmao 4:48

We had a drum major in our high school marching band whose feet splayed out like that penguin walk you did. I had plumb forgotten and boy did that bring me a huge Belly Laugh!! 😂🤣😃

The truck is looking might-t-fine love watching the progress keep up the great content!

You were so nice to that snake, they'll be back later with the rest of the family.

You can use a steering shaft from a jeep xj. Gets rid of the old rag joint. Replaces it with a slop free u-joint.

Just finished watching the video. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do No matter what your video always makes me smile and laugh Thank you very much Have a good Thanksgiving

Great video! Great Job! You sounded defeated at the end...don't be! You have fans watching a 2 hour video!!!! Can't wait to see her complete and added to the herd. God bless and Happy Turkey Day!

Need to invest in a sandblasting cabinet...works great on cleanup of parts...saves wire brushing...great video, I did the sa.e on my c10 project...keep it up

Puddin, get you an Eastwood brake flaring tool. They are game changers. Perfect flares every time.

Get with Derek over at vice grip garage and get some of those sweet hood savers ,lovin the great content

I want to see what the snake whisper shirts are going to look like 😂

I needed this exact job done on my truck. Axle seals and rear brakes. A local shop quoted me like 1100 bucks. And 300 dollars in parts 2 RU-vid videos and one afternoon later was able to do it my self. Also that snake is the funniest thing to happen in the history of this channel

I like seeing you work on the c ten. Looks like it's a good education for you also. As you know they're super popular. Get you another one if you Trip over another one.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this truck. I have a 89 r3500 crew cab dually and would love to have this one to set up as a little hot rod cruiser.

Peppermint oil on cotton balls will keep the mice away and the shop smells like peppermint and no snakes
