Dude! This 1971 GMC fire truck that Karl at Make It Kustom found, is in unbelievable condition and ready for a new home. His plan is to put that thing together on a new chassis and to make it into the ultimate bad ass hot rod ramp truck. Of course, Brent from Halfass Kustoms has been watching Karl’s other projects and saw the firetruck cab in the background. He reached out to Karl and said he was going to be in the area for a few days and that they should get together and thrash on it to make it a running and driving rig together. When the announcement was made, from two of my favorite YouTube channels, I was already hooked and ready to go. This is a project we are going to love watching come together.

In this first video, you’ll see the chassis swap plan, a bunch of disassembly, and more. You don’t want to miss this one.

Video Description:

On this episode of Make It Kustom, I introduce a new Build to the shop. The Make It Kustom Hauler is a 1971 Gmc retired firetruck ive been holding onto for a number of years. Elio and myself are prepping the 1 ton chassis for the cab swap.

Halfass Kustoms Collaboration Brent is a talented Builder/YouTuber from Manitoba. I have him to thank for Make It Kustom’s first shout out on YouTube! I’ve been a fan of his channel for years. At the end of this month, Brent will and I will work together on this project side by side getting as much done as we can with the goal of running and driving this truck at the end of his stay.
