Chassis Swap C10 To 700HP AWD ESCALADE!?!? Complete Chassis Modifications!!- (Rustomod Garage Ep.15) 

I need all these videos like yesterday 😅😅

WOW, you made a lot of changes, on my swap I am on a no-money budget, LOL yesterday my 17-year-old daughter and I took off the 66 Chevy Step-side cab and front end together with a Ford backhoe tractor and placed it on a 2000 Cadillac Escalade chassis with the 5.7 Vortec, used a 4-point lift two straps to the front and one through the cab door openings, the hardest part was the alinement with the frame, used for stands on the 66 assembly and squared it to the frame. The cab frame mounts on the 66 cab line up with the frame within 1 of center in on each side of the 2000 Cadillac Escalade chassis frame rails. The front end is where I see I am going to have to do some modifications as they are a lot narrower. I was worried about the steering driveshaft alignment until I saw your solution was a "knuckle" I will be contacting you on that for sure, also the bed mounting solutions were great to see, my problem is I have a long step bed and I am going to have to shorten it to the present wheelbase, the spacers you made for the rear fenders looks expensive, I am thinking maybe offset wheel rims may be the solution for my build.

I have a 1955 Chevy pickup 2nd series that I have been wondering how to put a Cadillac Escalade AWD under it?! You have DONE IT!! !!! Subscribed !!!

I'm so glad to find out that the Escalade rolling chassis fits so easily, I have a 1970 C10 short bed fleetside truck And was about to spend a fortune getting a Fabtech or other companies that make them for $13k and up. Thanks for the info.

The "action line" pickups are my favorite all time Chevy pickup. Ive always wanted one. Cool Vid!

So glad I found this video... Getting ready to mate a 62 Chevy short bed on to a 2007 Cadillac Escalade... This pumps me up LOL Great job.

Started down this road a few years ago with my 68 C20, sitting on an 04 Denali SWB chassis. Still mocking up the cab mounts where I want them, to sit the body as close to the frame as possible. I then found this video, and you did *exactly* as I had planned out to do mine. Thanks for the info, helps my OCD-like brain with completing the project.

Way cool!! I can’t wait for the next video! I was just planning a similar swap!

Nice going … with this build and explanation of how you put this together

Awesome video man you inspire us who have C10 projects

Great swap and videos! Thanks for sharing!

thanks for the videos keep them coming

Nice job dude! Digging it 👍

Great info dude!!! I was wondering if the frame of the cab was the same width as the escalade frame and you explained it perfectly. Now you've got me curious about the width of a fleet side bed 🤔

I recommend IHC they make great upper and lower control arms for that frame and maybe QA1 coils might help u great truck the idea is badass

great job… I’m working on the same SWAP it’s a 69’ C10 on an a escalade 2007, grate to know on how you widened the rear fenders but didn’t get how to deal with front as I’m ganna use the same 20” wheels of the escalade. Will that work? or do I need the get a different set of wheels.

Nice truck just bout a 72 c10 step side still deciding wat engine combo to go for

I watched this video and the next day started ripping my yukonxl apart for my 55 chevy pickup.... also what coilovers are those off of so I know what o es to buy

Nice!!!! I am building a 58 Apache and want to put the 58 body on a 2011 Escalade frame. I think the width will be the biggest issue.

What rubber isolators did you guys run? And how thick? Any pics of the spacers you made for the bed sides?

I have a Chevy impala that’s 119 inch wheelbase. What is the wheelbase of the longer 4 wheel drive GMs?

Nice

I’ve been following you since the LS fest in Bowling Green , I talked with your father a little while.. my question is how did you save the brake lines and utilize them. Thanks

Love the video🔥, what chassis donor would you use for a 74 crew cab short bed.

So with rear coilovers you don’t need the spring/coil between the axle and frame spring perch anymore?

I got my brakes set up so thanks for the info. Now onto the steering. I saw in one of your vids you used speed works column and a DD coupler. What did you use for the lower intermediate shaft?

Do you think an 87 elco bod will fit onto an escalade chasis? Im thinking the width might be too narrow for the chassis?

Did it come with Coil Springs suspension from the factory or did it have struts? I’ve been trying to find out if the Yukon came with coil spring instead of torsion bar or if it’s just an all wheel. Any other info would help.

how much did you notch for the front core support? I just picked up a donor chassis and I’m looking to do the same.

So when do you get bindings with the 241c when turning in 4wd "awd mode"?

But what have you done to the transmission, t-case and different? Are they stock or have you modified them.

It looks like the front camber is out on the truck though, might need to adjust that or add some height to suspension

Can you please tell me what rear coil over spring you used? I have a 05 Yukon Denali, I am wanting to delete the rear spring and put a coil over in the shock location like you did. Did it affect anything deleting the rear spring? I have a 69 C10 going on it! Thanks

Hey Man Awesome build ! You've really inspired me to undertake this project for my 1970 c10. Question Do you have issues with your front tires rubbing ? what size rims and tires are you using? Thanks in advance!

What did you measure from to center the cab on the frame left and right?

How much would u charge to modify the frame for me to put my 77 c10 on it if I bring u the frame

Re watched great keep it like you just dod you guy will that off alot this utube take off and end up see ing then change there mums oil just to mack a buck and others do it like you just have great conversion

Hey, cool build. I have found your build and have been wanting to do the same thing. Do you know how much your finished truck weighs? Also, did you swap the front diff when you change the transfercase?

What year steering column did you use. I have an '02 Escalade rolling chassis that I am using

What length coilovers? I'll be getting some viking ones, but rough idea of the current length? Also, I'm assuming that you didn't use a drop spindle. Anything change on the rear regarding "drop"?

How did you center the cab to the Chassie

Awesome job, would the same frame would work on k5 Blazers??

Were you able to keep the ABS braking system and keep it functional?

I see that background punisher art. WWG1WGA

from the get go I'd like to say that "I would want the pickup bed to be in place..." But i'll watch your video anyway

Would you be willing to water jet another set of those rear fender spacers?

What steering linkage did you use? Rod from column to gearbox?

How many inches did you cut from the rear chassis

👍

Are you guys a shop I could send a project like this to?

Just came a cross this video great conversion 👍😊 can I ask the cost of fuel tank thks

So does this vehicle get registered as an old c10 or as a new caddie?

Saweet

should be prefect for myc10 i have a 85 short bed i think my c10 is 117

I see a lot of rust everywhere, what part of the country you’re in ???

Are you ready for your frist client

What about the dumb? When PULLED getting over its Escalade not a c10 dmv referee?

OK..I'm In sell it to me

Spohn. * Pronounced spoon *

So it's not AWD its 4x4

y not just build a chassis instead of scabbing a shitty tahoe chassis? u would probably have saved time and money
