Boy Lou this one was near and dear to my heart. Such a great resto-mod. This one brought back great memories. The first vehicle I painted was a 1950 Ford PU when I was 15 years old. My Dad purchased the truck and told me to sand it and get it ready for paint. Someone had painted it with a paint brush. I wore blisters on my hands sanding that truck. When I was done Dad said he was painting it, I said no way because I had worked so hard to get it paint ready. He agreed and let me paint the truck. It turned out great and it was and still is a great memory. Thanks for sharing this old cars & trucks. Take care
Hi ncautoman57, Happy to read you enjoy this build and glad this one brings back great memories too :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Hi blackscotydog, Happy to read you enjoy this pickup :-) Even thought it's "My Car Story"....let's keep this our secret, every now an then something other then a car will show up...stay tuned, Lou
My grandfather had a '49 International. Flat black. I can still see "INTERNATIONAL" in porcelain across the front. Then, in 1965 he got a brand new 1964 Dodge D-100 in green. Hope you do more trucks.
Hi Rudolph, Happy to read this video brings back memories of your Grandfathers 49 International & 64 Dodge too :-) Stay tuned, there might be a few that occasionally sneak onto the Channel, Lou
I inherited a 49 f3 from my grandfather around 15 years and have been thinking about trying to rebuild it kinda like this with my dad. This is exactly how I want it to turn out except for the colors
I like-a-dat-truck! Nice and schmoove! I couldn't imagine anyone not liking cool trucks being featured as well. But they'd have to be special - like this restomod is special. Excellent custom glide ride, Lou! Its schmoove! 3 Wows and a handshake.
WOW, indeed this one gives me goosebumps! have always cherished these old trucks like nothing else. I don't know how or why, but seeing these awesome classics like this makes me shiver! Lou, this one is directly up my alley and hope to see more trucks in the future! The old trucks have always been my #1 favorite over anything else ever built for the road! thanks so much!

although during the shooting process have more Assistant Exposure Light/reflector often necessary in the Shade, Darkness, or Internal (the light from one side leaves half the subject's car-face in shadow), but I understand that it is not easy for a person to shoot a job without not an assistant. Because of you, the automotive industry has a new soul.
Hi Telar Dingx, I'm sure as my Team of 3 (Me, my son, and wife) gets bigger as the Channel grows, however for now, we'll do the best we car with what we have, and this is the result. On the other hand :-) Happy to have you stop by and show me how it should be done, always open to listen and learn. Stay well, Lou
Great looking truck nicely done love the interior and the power windows are pretty slick. You can tell it's a wider truck by looking at the hood and it sounds nice.
Hi John Parkhurst, Happy to read you enjoy this pickup :-) Even thought it's "My Car Story"....let's keep this our secret, every now an then something other then a car will show up...stay tuned, Lou
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you enjoy this video & truck :-) Not sure about the bed, however in the text in the description there is the website so you can get the number to call them and see if they have details of this truck. Hope that helps, Lou
Did you ever ride in one that was all stock l did back in the 60s a friend has one with a flat head V8 he painted his red with a brush ,thanks for sharing this beautiful truck (Doug in Ga)
Lou, I have an idea for you. You should make a video of the gasoline brands that existed in the United States for the 50s, 60s and 70s and that no longer exist. I remember these brands: sinclair, mobil, chevron, texaco and esso., ... 🌎👍🌟🌟🌟🇵🇷
Interesting idea. Not sure where I'd find the material. If this is an area of passion for you, it's a good idea and try doing a few videos and see what happens. If nothing happens, no big deal. If people watch, COOL!
Lou Costabile thanks Lou. Was that frame boxed? I dropped a speedway mustang 2 front end in mine with disk brakes and power steering. With qa1 coil overs. But had to box the frame first for the cradle.
Hi ariel Achong, Happy to read you appreciate this pickup :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing and I believe you're going to see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy. Hope you Subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this RU-vid Channel, Lou
Lou, that was a pickup. Trucks carry tons. Peterbilt is a truck. A ford F750 is also a truck. It's a little thing that drives me crazy. I asked for TRUCK parts once, and the parts guy tried selling me pickup parts.
