Great video guys! As always another great job by Kase. All these video's with David are awesome.

David is the kind of man’s man that reminds me of my dad. Love it.

David, I had a 87 which was the last year of the square body first year for TBI in trucks. I found that the gasket for the TBI to the intake manifold had a small crack in it and caused my high idle just thought I’d let you know

Nice job David for your first time spraying a black truck

David is such a good addition to the channel, every video he’s apart of I make time to watch Make him apart of the channel

Welcome to PIMP MY RIDE Colorado edition. Thanks, Kase, today's life lesson "I didn't let perfect get in the way of good enough." I am older than the truck and also have a lot of grey showing through. I also have some wrinkles that won't come out. Also a fan of this chevy body style.

Love the old steel wheels. I'd buy this truck if I could.

Love the classic truck videos and David is great!

Im restoring my first truck ever a 1996 K1500 etc cab with a vortec 350 all original engine and transmission. Still runs like new at 268 thousand miles. Ironically I went for a GM Black from the 90s paint code at NAPA for my truck lol. Can’t beat a solid black!

What kind of stuff are you restoring? (If you don't mind me asking)

Keep these budget builds coming! Love seeing the two generations of guys talking about the build process. Wonderful work guys.

Old trucks are the best. I picked up a 1987 Dodge Ram D150 3 years ago thinking it would be a stopgap until I could get a newer truck. After replacing the suspension, brakes, fixing oil leaks, fixing the interior... it's now going nowhere. My neighbor has been trying to buy it for a few years now and I have to keep politely telling him no! :-)

Check the throttle body gasket to see if it has a leak. That would give you the high idle that your experiencing.

The ol' girl cleaned up nice & is lookin' pretty good David!👌👍

Kase, you and David work so well together like father and son. David has an immense amount of wisdom and desire to get things done. With that being said, Kase you really have a strong desire to learn and apply knowledge. At 47 I have always sought out wisdom from guys like David, and just like him I pass it down to the next guy. This is one of the things that we are missing in today’s world, thanks guys for living what others need to see. Blessings to all of your adventures, I looking forward in seeing what comes next.

The videos with David are definitely some of my favorites. He brings a really good element to the channel and is seriously worth keeping around.

I am really enjoying this series of videos. I am a big fan of 80s and 90s GM trucks. Only problem is you will never find a decent one here with all the salt used to maintain our roadways in winter. Greetings from Ottawa 🇨🇦

Best trucks in the world, no matter what they come up with the old trucks will beat them in every aspect. Mine is a 96 stick shift with 260000 miles and other than the squeaky noises that truck is a beast.

Great saying...”I didn’t let perfect get in the way of good enough”. The truck turned out 👍

So far this is my favorite truck on the channel. Can’t wait to see more!

I like how the dog approaching is the "Most replayed" part of this video lol

Two years later it's a 7-8K truck, even with the high miles. This is a testiment to how well the GMT 400's were built.

@n8v-t-800

Maybe more than 7-8k if wait for a buyer that interested but even that is good tho

Beauty of a truck, I wish they still made them like that.

This is just plain fun content! Love it!

Just fixed my high idle issue in my 95 chevy. changed the idle air control censor and then the throttle body gasket was completely dry rotted and cracked in half. cheap parts now it idles like a dream

I love David, Such a humble man! Bring him on more!

I’m loving this video series! These trucks are awesome.

Great refresh on the old truck. More Dave projects!!

Not a Chevy guy but it looks great. Go with the buckets. Being it's a regular cab that storage space the center console offers will come in handy.

I love the OBS / gmt400’s of this era. Might I suggest for him to put a weather strip on the underside of the rear custom bumper lid to water proof that storage bumper.

That custom rear bumper is awesome!! Beautiful truck

Truck looks great, from a few feet it looks fantastic. The paint may not be perfect but it is really good for what it cost! I'd love a truck like this here in the UK for sensible money

First time, looks very good. Congrats!

👍🏿 steelies with beauty rings gonna look nice! My Nephews buddy has almost this exact truck and he parked next to my 2017 F-350 yesterday and it’s nuts how big new trucks are parked next to something older it made the old Chevy look like a mini truck! I had a k1500 Z71 new in 97 and loved it for 15 years!! Great old trucks!

Looks great! Check tbi gasket for vacuum leak on the high idle. Also pcv . Good luck love the truck!

I love this truck! Awesome job on it! I wish I had the money to make an offer he could not refuse. Anyway love the videos on this project can wait to see more. Keep up great work!

Great video! Very relatable content, and within reason for most garage mechanics. Fun moment: Woof woof @ 9:07 "Hey!! Hi Tommy! When did you get here?!?" :)

Hi David and case, u guys are my favorite.. You guys are very much appreciated for me thank you

As far as the vibration, if it happens on acceleration, pull the rear driveshaft and see if the u-joints are free!! If it happens always, check the motor mounts! If the vibration happens all the time, maybe the new rubber will do the trick! Hope that helps. Great job boys!!👍🏻

Great video to get the day going

I thought the same thing, normally we only get these great videos like this, on Saturday morning. This is the second week in row that we got an extra one in the middle of the week. Keep them coming guys.

Looks great David. You are great.

I had a idle issue with my 89 tbi 350. I rebuilt the tbi and it runs like new. It is cheap and fairly simple to do.

That engine has a 4bbl intake with a 2bbl tbi. There’s a spacer between the TB and the intake. Gaskets on top and bottom of the spacer. The spacer has coolant flowing through it so mind the coolant hoses to and from it. Check power steering pressure switch as well as AC switch. They also increase idle when in use by way of the IAC. You can also spray around the intake with starter fluid or something else safe to use and see if the idle changes to locate where a vacuum leak may be.

Brings back memories of my first NEW truck an 1988, 2500 Chevy 4x4. The main ( and only, bracket a first for Chevy I believe ) bracket that holds all the accessories on the engine on mine was cracked and caused flex to occur which burned up 5 alternators before the dealership figured out what was the root cause for the failures.

I like the behind the scenes perspective we get in the paint reflection 😁

That is a clean chevy! I wish I could find a rear bumper like that for my 86 K10 truck and it is so cool has a storage option in the rear bumper too!

Man this truck is great

Hideaway pocket in the rear bumper- sweet idea.

I would love a video on how to do a headliner like he did! Love it!

Yes, Dan The Man, it's likely that gasket under the TBI. I had two split, exactly the same.

that is a good looking old chevy. its a keeper in my book.

David is a good guy - love the truck!

Check your each GR valve for the high idle, I am certain you've gone through these things, just a suggestion is all, great looking truck

Suggesting the name of this truck, and them actually picking it, may actually be the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Nice job on the truck David, also nice job on the video Kase and camera person.

Sweet ride

That dog looked so darn happy, amazing.

That rear bumper is awesome I need one

Nice looking driver. David did it again. Painting is something that comes in steps learning from each mistake. I would drive it and I’m a Ford man. Lol. But there’s a vacuum leak causing the ide issue.

You probably heard a fix for the high idle. TBI round base gasket

I enjoy you guys restoration videos and fixing up older vehicles,however when you've been stuck in a Walmart parking lot for 2 weeks with a bad fuel pump with your family in the vehicle and no means to get it fixed it's kind of depressing and makes me a little jealous!!!

Idle air control valve will fix the high idle mine had the same issue!

For the high idle, try cleaning the Idle Air Control valve

Truck is looking super good. Did a great job. I would drive it any day.

I own a 1989 chevy k3500. I was wondering where David bought the trim rings for his new rims? That would help out a lot. I also have a high idle on mine so I can’t wait to see how he fixes that.

Love the rear bumper, I wanna do that to my single cab k1500. Could you provide dimensions for that if possible?

Aside from a vacuum leak obviously, high idle may be bad IAC valve, TPS or even the temp sensor for the computer. That thing turned out great. ✌

Not that I want you to open Pandora’s box, but have you checked cylinder compression yet? That could be the spark that sets the old powder keg off. Great looking truck though (for a Chevy); great job.

David has good taste in automotive style. Have him give Roman some pointers. Somehow I doubt he would ever put one of those rag toppers on his truck! And good job Kase!

About the high idle, you guys talked a lot about a new distributor. It could be a possibility that the timing could be off. You may have to adjust the distributor position to lower time the spark plugs ignite.

I love 90s trucks easy to work on my truck is 92 chavy z71 off road steps side bed 3 inch lift it a 2 door extended cab with 285 75 R17 tires maroon it needs new paint job still

If David's not a Dad he'd make a great one! Either way, a great mentor! He'd be so much fun to hang out with & learn from! No matter certain fellas ages, some just enjoy life & come like a Big kid, with just a twinge, just enough "authority" figure ish that he commands that admiration factor. Just neat. I travel a fair amount, reside in Denver, go to Boulder often enough. I always *hope* like my travels elsewhere: "I can't wait to SEE one of you folks irl!" 😆 tho tbh I'd be tongue tied and just a dork.

Just HAD to give the doggo a nice pat at 9:12 😂💜

Where did you get the new grill? I have a 93 that I’ve been working on and that grill looks great.

Nice truck

Kase & David need to be apart of TFLtruck ASAP!

Paint the tow hooks orange to match the bow tie on the rear

Hey David, I have a truck of the similar vintage it’s a 1988 Chevy Cheyenne 3500 with the 5x7 sealed beam headlights it’s a silver and black grill ive been looking for a place that Remanufactures them but haven’t been successful just curious where you got yours

you guys really make me want to go buy an old truck and go all restomod on it

Would love to know more about the paint from Napa. What part number? Was it the acrylic enamel?

My 95 Cadillac deville had the riveted lower ball joint and my local shop wanted $450 to replace it! I replaced it for $60 but it took me 7 hours!

Blayze was having the time of his life out there

Nice I want one

That generation of Chevy trucks is just amazing. None of the newer ones felt that solid.

Got that right 😎💯

I want that truck!

I would have made sure it was sound mechanically before putting all the effort into paint. But that’s because I am inpatient. And we had some of those trucks and they go through front brakes every 20k if you tow much.

I need a decent paint shop near Boulder for my truck. Any recommendations?

Have you done a wet and a dry compression test on it?

Truck is looking beautiful, if I had the budget I'd be sending an email offer.

You gotta paint the front bumper, and grill surround the same color as the rear bumper.

I’d so drive this everyday and enjoy every minute. Well...except for filling the tank after that 454 gulps those gallons up. But I’d still be smiling.

High idle could be plugged cats

Needs a lift and some big bogger tires for CO winters...

Next time you go those kind of ball joints, grind the heads off the rivers, don’t drill and a ball joint press works wonders. Maybe 30-45 minutes a side.

Is this one up for sale?

What's the status on this truck? Love what's been done so far!
