    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    Ah yes. I’d forgotten that. Been so long and I’d never gone back for a refresher :)

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    Yes but your truck wasn't built on a tv show claiming it was a 6 figure truck and "the best c10 in the world" then half assed attempted rebuild from a youtuber who got in over his head :lol:

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    Many of the issues he's run into thus far were caused by Alex and his attempt to rebuild it. Who knows how good the truck was prior to the wreck. We know that the gauge cluster was a hacked up POS but that's all we know about the pre-wreck truck. Not surprisingly, Alex started 'final assembly'...

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I'm with you. Something to be said for easily accessible parts and don't have to worry about the piece of paper with part numbers you swore that you put in your glovebox 3 years ago that has suddenly gone missing....probably on the work bench under a dozen of other things and an inch of dust...

    That willwood kit looked like a nice kit. Not that I'd spend the money on it as Willwood is super proud of their stuff but it did look to be pretty good quality.

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I was curious about that same thing with the back of the stock cluster. I just assumed he knew more than me and was doing something super genius that I'd not thought of before because overall his work seems to be on point :)

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    Cannot believe how hacked up the back of that gauge cluster was. I was also surprised about how much he raved about retrosound. I have that head unit in the Burb and hate it! Only thing good about it is that it fits without modifying the dash. The head unit itself sucks and operates like a...

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    That's what I thought but I couldn't remember and my thoughts were exactly what you said. No one sends anything to powdercoat that is still in mock up. Did he really think those tacks were good to go rather than a full weld? I saw the comments in the vid, too, because there was too much to...

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    So I wonder who's fault it was for not having the tabs on the axle fully welded? Did Alex replace that rear end or did it leave Gas Monkey like that? I don't remember. Also with that 3rd member :eek: Glad they caught that stuff! Seems like they're getting the truck up to 100% pretty well.

    Sounds like something @HotRodPC would do. Too busy touching his monkey and trying not to get spludge in his eye :manos: :roflbow:

    Well, I'd tell ya I stickied it for you but it appears someone already done beat me to the punch :happy175:

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    Well, to get anything 'straight as glass' you're going to have a layer of body filler over the metal so that's to be expected IMO but what I saw in one of the latest videos it seemed thicker than what one would expect upon closer inspection.

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I noticed the thick layer of bondo when this latest shop was working on it prepping it for new paint. He was working on the firewall and as he was taking the paint off to get down to metal you got a good look at how thick that bondo was/is :eek:

    The laugh track they inserted in that intro seems like they are kinda goofin' on Alex's attempt at working on it, too :happy175:

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    So glad it’s in capable hands now!! Looks like it’s finally getting done correctly. Alex seemed to be in way over his head with this build and it would have turned out horrible if he’d proceeded forward with it IMO

    What did you pay for a square

    Bought my '77 back in late fall of 03. Paid $1,000 and probably overpaid at that time as it was a rust bucket but was excited to get into my first square. Bought my '91 dually Fall of '18 for $6,000. Had 75k original miles on it at the time (has 85k now), rust free, texas truck, and came with a...

    Replacing Rear Door Window Regulator and Rollers

    I ended up not replacing the rollers as I didn't feel good about any of the methods and I didn't want to take a chance on ruining the regulators on those rear doors as they are hard time find. I ending up being liberal with penetrant and lubricant to loosen them up and moving freely. If you're...
