I am currently restoring a few OBS Chevy trucks. A 1992 Chevy c1500 the beat-up lowrider, a 2000 Chevy Tahoe Limited that was just never taken care of, and the 1991 ls swapped Chevy s10 from hell. I will also include other home and tech related projects as they pop up. I fly by the seat of my pants learning as I go to make these old trucks a little better then what they were.
For me its about the journey, I don't believe that something cannot be done. I just have not failed enough to do it properly. Embrace your failures, you are learning!

I wonder if this mod hurts the resale or trade-in?
You could easily swap it back. I kept the old one just in case. The people at the dealers here have nothing but compliments when we stop in for service appointments.
Great video 😊
Thank you 👍
My friend, if you add one day the hood light strip please do a video 🙏🏽
Will do 👍
If you closed your garage door, you could see better and you have many garage lights overhead which causes an issue when you're trying to use a light in confined spaces. It's like overpowering from outside
It's over 100 degrees with crazy humidity where I'm at. Closing the door is not an option most days in Florida. One day I'll install an ac then I'm good to go. About the light, it has been great for when the hood is up blocking the lights or for in the cab work. 👍
all I can think since seeing a few more videos of this brand is if you have cats or even younger children they're going to push some pillows sneak down into that chamber in the backrest. And cellphones, and pocket change, the TV remote, Goldfish and Cheerios and ... you get the idea if something suddenly goes missing.
We have a pretty big family that has used and abused the couch for a while now. It is nice to be able to lift the bottom cushion and the panel under it to get things the little ones have dropped. I would estimate that maybe 3 times things have passed the cushions. Coins, a comb, and little toys. The pillows are thick and hold shape. The remote doesn't fit in the gaps, cell phones do not either. Not much has squeezed past. The ottomans that are full of stuff are heavy and don't slide forward. The empty one slides all the time, and phones slip between the couch and that ottoman.
@@thisoldhooptie Access with a vacuum might be the plus side. I am looking at the chair and a half.
@cynvision One thing a few people have commented on is that there is a deeper version. If you are tall or want to use throw pillows, I would give that deeper version a try. While I am still happy with what I have, the one thing I would have liked if available when i purchased is a little more depth to the chair.
@@thisoldhooptie I am sure I would enjoy that. I am very used to sitting on a CordaRoys bean bag. The wide chair was my favorite at my parent's home.
Good job 👏
Thank you 👍
Thank you. That’s awesome
No problem 😁 👍
15 years ago built a 24X48 Garage with a 24x32 attic. Decided to bite the bullet and install central air. Don’t miss the money but not only enjoy the cool place to work in the summer the A/C removes humidity protecting tools and vehicles from rust. Also have a whole house dehumidifier to assist. (Aprilaire model 1850. Sucks 95 pints per day out of the air) Thank you for the great step by step tutorial . I have to replace my evaporator and heater core. I’m ready now to tackle the job.
Sounds like a great place to work. I will have a look at the dehumidifier you listed. Thanks for the info 👍
@@thisoldhooptie just looked up,mine is discontinued the replacement is E100. You can install a condensate pump and water your garden.
You got the lights installed! Looks great. Next up install a mini split ac / heater
That's in the works. It's 100 degrees in my garage sometimes. Super hot 🔥
where are the door handles?
They have been welded closed. I open them with a remote like an alarm. If you want to see how that's done in my truck playlist a few months back, I started another truck cleanup.
@@thisoldhooptie that is pretty cool I try it on my 96 suburban
Can a 98' OBS dash go into an 88' OBS, not sure if the mounting bolt/screw holes are in the same spots?
The dash will fit its a lot of work. The stuff behind like ac and wiring, also the doors are all not going to line up and play nice. If you have a full doner truck, it can be done 👍
Is your home reserve one of the newer deep ones or the standard size? Also do you still like it after 3 years?
I wish it was deeper. That would make it perfect. Yes, we still use it every day. I have washed the fabric after the kids spill on it. I also tested the warranty, which was great. Im still a happy customer. 👍
That color is not my style but I appreciate the hard work and dedication to both the project and to your family. I’m working on our 1994 C1500 that my wife and I have had since late 1993. You’re much further along than I am. Simple Olympic white is the color of my truck.
Thank you. It has been a blast learning and trying things out. As you will find out in the next video on this truck,I ended up going all black for a bit to give me more time to practice with flake and perl. You should have no problem with a single color. I will be testing what I have learned later this year with orange perl over white on the s10. The now black truck is doing great more to come when time permits. Family first always! Good luck with your truck 👍
Hello, I saw that your content quality and Thumbnail is also good. But, your channel is not Growing. Then, I analyzed and I saw that in your channel have some problems.

Can I tell here? Are you allow? And how are you? Want to know these problems? where can I tell? here or in email? Where? As your wish, If you can and I mean if you want to know, Where? As your wish, Where can I tell?
Is this couch standard or deep seat?
Definitely standard. That's the one flaw. Still enjoy them daily. We have the extra long ottomans, which even things out.
Super dope build bro ! Been watching your videos non stop wasn’t sure about the seat belt part from the link does it come with all 3 belts and the brackets too like you showed in the video ? And where did you get your billet pieces from ?
Thank you. Yes, the seat belts I used come in a full set as you see in the video. Everything was in the box. They have held up well, great buy! For the billet dash pieces, go to cunninghammachine.com look through their obs section. Good luck with your project 👍
I’m building a S15 and always looking for videos on other guys projects. Thanks for sharing keep us updated on your truck
Thanks, bro! Good luck with your build 👍
Hello, is there a way to contact you?
@@Mohammed-uz1sn You just did. What's up?
@@thisoldhooptie Hello my friend, thank you for your response. I wanted to ask you about I want rear axle bearing seals for a 1988 Chevy C1500 truck. Can I get those parts from Amazon?
@Mohammed-uz1sn Yes, you definitely can get them from Amazon. I highly recommend getting them from a local auto parts store if you're not familiar with what you are buying. If this is your first try, bring one into the local parts store to compare with what you get. This may save you a trip home and back if there is a mix-up.
Does anyone know if the spray heads from the turbo cans or the 5 way heads are interchangeable with the regular Rust-Oleum spray cans.
The turbo can and standard are not interchangeable. The white tip under the cap is much larger on the turbo cans to feed the big cap. I will pop the cap off the first empty can when I spray the cab and let you know in the video if they can be swapped to the standard cans. My guess is no, let's find out 👍
@@thisoldhooptie that would be awesome. The color I'm going to be using doesn't seem to come in quarts. It would be worth it to buy one of the turbo cans just to get the better nozzle. From off the grid in Az.
Another good option is to decanter the spray can with the color you like. You poke a hole or shoot it out a straw into a container until you have enough to spray from your gun. That's going to give the best finish. That also takes the most work. Either way should turn out sweet 😁
@@thisoldhooptie yes, I just saw that on another channel today. He just sprayed it right into the paint cup. And sprayed it. Which would be ok, because it's already thinned, no guessing. Right on.
Keep’em coming brotha!!!
That's the plan 👍 😎
Cool..
Thank you 😁. How's your truck doing?
@@thisoldhooptie rear end blew up . 9 " . I have new locker with 8 "
It happens. Keep on trucking 👍 😎
Do the seatbelts lock when you pull them all the way out? My stock ones don't and I want to replace them with ones that do so I can put a kid's car seat in my truck.
I have never tried to pull them all the way out. They like the original lock when pulled fast. I use my daughters booster with the seat belts. They work properly.
@@thisoldhooptie thanks man
What an example you are setting for your beautiful family! Great dad! You, not the other dad. 😂
Thank you, I think 🤔 🤣👍
Wow!!! thank you!!!
😁👍
nice video ... are you done working on the obs?
Thank you 👍 No, I still need to finish the paint job on the obs. I also have a full air suspension setup for that truck. I will be bringing that back in the garage this year now that I can winch the s10 in and out.
@thisoldhooptie sweet. I am also building an obs that i currently have a 5/7 drop on and will eventually bag
like your video ,could you do a future video to let someone know ,if the hardener made it cloudy ,and if it made the finish more durable .thanks ,happy trails .
Thank you 👍 I will definitely do that. I ended up going back to black for a bit due to not being able to match the panels. I'm about to start a rustolium playlist. Stay tuned. This group of videos will answer all the questions. As for your questions, no, the clear was crystal clear, even better when cut and buffed out. The only clear that I have used that went on cloudy and then cleared was the 1k stuff on the dash. I'm not happy with the 1k. It's not as hard and shinny as the 2k. It's clear and looks great as cam be seen in many of my videos. I just prefer the 2k for all its benefits. The black other then being dirty has held up great so far. The dash has too. I'm also a big fan of the rustoleum paint jobs 😁
@@thisoldhooptie thanks for your response ,im thinking of doing the same thing to my obs stepside. but with pearl .i live in west Texas where the sunshine and uv rays are brutal .keep up the good work ,happy trails .
Where’d you get your door panels dash and seats?
There is a video for each in my truck playlist. The description of each video has links and product info of everything I used in that video. Quick and dirty, dash lmc truck, seats seats4trucks.com, door panels are from Google search for coverlay door panel your truck make and year. Good luck with your build 👍
I installed it on my 2024 Pallisade, works like a charm.
Nice! Even though it's tiny, this thing is the best mod for these suv. Having to hit that button drove me crazy.
Another great video my friend!! I use the self etching primer too. Keep’em coming!!
Thanks, bro :) Did you get any wrench time in this weekend?
@@thisoldhooptie Unfortunately I did not. In between getting things done around the house and creating content I have to still work around the house and honey-do’s. . I travel for my job and work gets in the way. LOL. I always like what you are doing so keep them videos coming bro!
what do u put in middle?
In the middle of what?
What headlights are you using?
They are listed in the description under the corner lights. I would definitely check that the seal is good on the headlights. If not, grab a tube of clear silcone and seal the whole front piece. I have not had moisture issues. Others have and mentioned that to me. Good luck with your project 👍
What wires can be deleted for the LS swap need some help
It will very much depend on what you plan to keep and what you plan to add. The best place to start is here lt1swap.com/wiringharness.htm
You saved me a lot of time. Thank you very much
I'm glad it helped 👍
Will truck smell bad after if so how long will it last
The plastics and dash and back carpet still look great today. The floor needed a touch-up under the peddle area from sneakers scuffing the area up over time. The smell went away fast for me, a few days. I got rid of the seats and got new ones shortly after this video. I can't say how long the bench seat lasted. If i did things again. I would still do all the plastics, dash, and the back carpet. I would order a new floor carpet and get a black seat cover. Good luck 👍
A couple of questions: 1. Can you change the color fabric on your couch or switch out the color depending on, let's say, if you just want a change or for the holidays? (I LOVE the red you have on it for Christmas 🎄❤️). 2. Can you take the fabric off the entire couch to wash or just the fabric on the cushions? 3. Did you have to purchase a warranty to be able to replace the part of your couch that broke? BTW, how did the arm of your couch break? (Asking if the furniture is durable). 4. What is the return policy if the brand is not a good fit for you? I like your video and the information you provided. Thank you! I'm considering getting this brand.
Thank you 😁 1. Yes 2. Yes, all can be removed and washed. I have little ones that spill over all the time. :) 3. The issue I had was fixed in production they sent me both end tops, so the other side was stronger, too. My 180-pound nephew sat on the top, and it cracked. He has sat on the new tops, which have held up since. The warranty comes with it free. Other then the size that was a big factor in my purchase. We have broke a few couches from the kids jumping on them. I wanted to be able to fix them at home instead of paying a fortune sending it out or getting expensive warranties from local stores. 4. The return policy should be somewhere on the website link is in my description of the videos for this couch. I highly recommend getting one chair piece to test prior to buying. I know that is returnable. That's what I did to be sure it would work for us. It's not a deep couch but was perfect size wise where others were not. It has held up well. Other then the top issue which new versions do not have, it's held up great.
@@thisoldhooptie thanks so much for your help!
I changed my pinion seal it’s not leaking straight out like that but there black shit all over the rear dif and gas tank
Nice 👍
What size bolt
Which bolt are you referring too?
As a Hyundai tech this video is a life saver, our instructions come in Korean with shit explanations you’re a real g
I'm glad it helped. 😁 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 👍
Where did you got you doors from ??
Check my playlist for the door panel video. It's a couple years back. The details are in the description of that video. They are coverlay and are doing great, very happy with them 👍
cool ninja turtles table. Subscribed!
Thanks, I need to make an epoxie top for that at some point this year. My little girl loves it, too. After the top tore, I promised to fix it this year. But until then, it's the perfect height for body work on this low truck 🤣
Again. I like it.
Thank you 👍
That’s a great job! Man that really is a awesome job you did 👌🏾💯
Thank you, 👍
I like it. WOW
Thanks 👍
simply entertaining!....thank you for the content...keep up the shenanigans 🤙🏾💯💯💯
That's the plan 👍
Love your videos and work man!!
Thank you 👍
How did you get them to just plug and play? I have a 1991 Chevy s10 and I have the same lights but my blinkers don’t work when I have them on and when I turn them off the blinkers start working
When I purchased this truck only one headlight and one tail light worked. I used a power probe and re wired all the lights. Check your wiring and bulbs with a cheap power probe from amazon. There is a video in my playlist about the lights and neutral safety switch.
That ruck is freaking amazing
Thank you 👍
Can’t wait to see where this goes!
Hey buddy, thanks! I'm finally getting some time to mess around with the trucks. I've been following your progress, too 👍
@@thisoldhooptie Thanks for watching and keep these videos coming. I want to see this truck build for sure!
Sadly still waiting for the 95-99
Aren't we all. The dash in my tahoe is soooo bad. I kind of want to reverse swap it to the square dash. Who knows 🤷♂️
@@thisoldhooptie I'll probly fake it with a Dashskin. They don't look half bad, but still.
@shrugger1 That's what I did before I ordered the lmc dash. It actually looks good as long as the cracks are only on the top. Mine started cracking on the front, pretty bad, so it was time to go. Good luck with your project 👍
The side step shows unavailable on Amazon. Do you have another link for the same one? Wonderful job at installation and getting the kids involved 😊
Thank you. I believe the same ones are on Ebay. Someone just reached out about the grill yesterday. I will add a link in the description tomorrow with the parts from my videos on Ebay if they are still sold.
I have updated the link to another seller on amazon with the same steps.
What wheels are on the Tahoe ?
Those are the stock 2000 Tahoe Limited rims.
