FIRST IMPRESSIONS: New-To-Me OBS Chevy Turbo LS / 6 Speed Project 

hell yeah

Not putting anyone down. You bought it. Lol😂

Thanks Tim. There will be plenty of that to see in this series!

Haha. Thanks brother. Happy to be part of the OBS club!

I appreciate it!

Thanks brotha!

No, thanks for watching!

Hope you enjoy it!

Appreciate it!!

That is definitely going to happen. Stay tuned.

Totally.

Haha, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Jebb.

Right on! Thats a big reason why we are doing this.

lol. I am having a blast with this thing!

If you figure what I would have paid for another 650whp engine and a t56 magnum package, it would be what I paid for the whole truck.

Fingers crossed!

Me too!

Cool, thanks

Arny makes good stuff but we are going a different route.

Haha. There are quite a few in the making!

Honestly it’s on the list and it’s probably one best bang for the buck truck to build.

@@level7motorsportsI say the same thing but sadly I dont see much support to build them into autocross trucks like the c10s. Trying to build my 04 isnt as easy or fun with out off the shelf parts.

Yes they do make a great shifter! We have got something else happening with Tick Performance to make shifting better.

Oh me too man. And they are real Meisters. They just won’t fit my brakes and lug pattern.

I love the Meisters they just won’t fit my brakes and lug pattern.

Thanks! Well I make 78k per year and I was able to afford the payment and some parts when the paycheck comes. Responsible… that’s a different conversation.

​@@level7motorsports Fair enough. "Blue collar" can certainly be relative. And I think you're airing on the high side of that term. But I get this build will be way more "budget" than the bucks-up builds you do for customers.

There wasn’t much left!

It is.

You’re on the same path I am. We are doing their arms, our own upper mount, and a 3 link. Right now the front crossmember is dragging the ground.

It's a one-off

​@@janockosgarageI was kinda figuring so lol thanks for the reply

Stock everything up front with the addition of a coilover. The rear is flipped, shackles, less leafs, and caltracks.

It is a 98-99 F body transmission. Position is ok but we will be addressing that in the next episode. Wouldn’t work if you had a bench. You would definitely want a T56 magnum.

It just couldn't be done. Well knowing me, I couldn't do it!

@@level7motorsports I bet u could u don’t need 600 hp to have fun a vortec 350 with a cam and 5 speed would of done just fine completely gutt it. make a homemade angle kit buy good suspension I bet u could do it under 10000

Only saying this because a lot of us cant drop 25000 on a project car lol love the project tho and deff subscribing idk y I’m not already

No, I have a very deep connection to Japanese car culture, and it won't be doing a 180. I'll call it a slight turn uphill. Thanks for watching.

Whats the previous owners socials? I’d love to see the build up of it

@@level7motorsports glad to here it !!

I bought it swapped.

Yes they are.

I would love to!

Sorry, we have to. They are the wrong lug pattern and wont fit over my brakes.

It is sad. I havent seen photos but I understand it was more of a street and strip truck.

Hahah, so you know that on the way home (I was driving very slowly and carefully) my engine died and the wiring caught fire? But I never said a single bad word about the previous owner, because I respect his work and understand that this is a modified truck with which anything can happen. And he put me another block, for which respect to him, even though I paid him money for that. Unfortunately, this block did not last even one burnout and after that I decided swap the engine to 6.0. The suspension was all old, I changed all the steering rods, since the truck could drive only straight and even then it was not stable. Cornering was out of the question. There were bicycle wheels in front, the axle was jumping, the interior was in terrible condition. And I still respect him because it was my decision to buy this truck. I fixed a lot, but there were things that I didn’t get around to, for example, the fuel system, which is located in the bed. This is not a build from scratch, I just corrected numerous bugs every weekend. With this suspension it allows you to drift for fun and at the same time be very low. This is my style. So how did I ruin the truck? Let's go point by point. I never said that the truck was perfect, but truck is really fun. And I never forced Jesse to buy it. Even while talking to Jesse, I insisted on going and showing the truck to his friend before make a deal! So that there are no questions for me. I had to travel 1.5 hours one way, but I wanted everything to be fair. And Jesse didn't say anything bad to me in a DM after the purchase, but I can see that he's unhappy in the video and in the comments here. Which I think is not respectful, because people don’t see all the nuances.

Please don’t take this badly. I am not un happy at all. I am happy with what I bought and am having a blast making it my own! I mean no disrespect at all.
