Hey Icon! I'm a fan. The details and this explained videos are great!.. @6:39 The identification tag is awesome, BUT if you guys can add a barcode/QRcode on the identification tag that have the information of the build (a page with the youtube video, the customer's story, etc)... THAT is a game changer!...Blessings to all!
Awesome product I learned to drive and shift in Grandpa Hector’s 1947 . It’s still out in his barn, he passed away in the mid ‘70’s , he left it to his son Jim and then to Jim’s son Barry. Nope they won’t even hear my offer. Probably a good thing as now I’m battling cancer and can’t even think about the labour and work to give it the Icon treatment. I had to sell my shop and equipment, so I’m sol for a build like this. Thanks , I appreciate your dedication to quality work!
Love the Thriftmaster Derelict series always have done. The attention to detail is outstanding along with the belief that it’s kept as original looking as possible. I’m not a “Captain bling” kinda guy so this would definitely suit me down to a tee. 👍🏻
Perfection! Soon as I win the lottery, I'm calling in my order. Move the 3-D printing TR tags down onto the body between the door hinges. They shouldn't be in the eye-line of folks getting in to the truck.
Wow WOW !!! ( to me ).. THIS !!!! is the BEST TR. Yet.. AND ( its a 6sp !!! )... I know everyone does Not love Patina ?? But i sure do AND ?? IT'S A TRUCK.. So you can haul things in it.. and not worry about a lil scratch.. and like you said.. It's basically a Race Car with a Farm Truck bolted to it..... LOVE LOVE IT.
The Icon Derelicts are my favorites. So much development and high performance under an old vehicle, it's simply great. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina!
Pretty nifty. I'm fascinated by dashboards and instrumentation, and you have a slam-dunk, again, with this one. It always seems odd to me that the cargo box is so small. Why didn't GM bring the rim up to the level of the window sills, because the truck looks like it's all cab and hood, and the box in back looks out of scale to me. But that's not you -- you continue to impress with all those thoughtful, tasteful features and extra touches. So, Bravo, Jonathan. In today's world, ostentation attracts too much attention, sometimes from the wrong people, and nothing beats an old beater.
The build # tag idea seems good, but the 3D printed plastic does not appear up to the same level of material execution as the rest of the truck. Someone else here said the tag could be distressed leather, or copper and I agree. Or it could be some other up-market material. Otherwise a great looking truck.
“Where is the lizard?”🧐 Several yrs back now I found one on a bronco (“reformer?”) White and black……so impressive!!!! It was parked in front of our local restaurant named “lounging Lizard” SWCO! Icon lizard @ lounging lizard really tickled my brain……Very Iconic scene 😉!
Your Thriftmaster Derelicts are my favourite ICON vehicles and I always enjoy a video of a new, (old), one. Great work as always. (I'm not a fan of the A pillar badges though!). Thanks for sharing your latest Thriftmaster creation.
I will state this Mr. Ward you'll make one of a heck salesman for your builds you leave no stone unturned and no sales tactics if anything you give honest.opinions and recommendations
Another work of art by Jonathan and the gang... Have you offended and Rolls Royce owners lately? I hope to be the next.. Jonathan you take care my friend and God Bless...
I was looking at a 54 three window 3600 in Nebraska a couple of weeks ago. The only rust I found was a little in the passenger footwell. Patina was gorgeous. I almost pulled the trigger to buy, but have too many irons in the fire at the moment.
I'm envious. I've heard the company that makes those derelict type trucks wants $200,000.00. A bit much for me. But, if I had the money, I'd be really tempted.
all the chrome still needs to be stripped and triple dipped and there's still a little rust that should be stopped in the tailgate area. other than that, she's perfect
One question on these derelict's here in Arizona any car 1966 and older is exempt from emission testing, my question are these old cars you sup up exempt as well or because of the modern equipment do they have to pass emissions testing?
I apologize but I have to ask. Where can I buy that folding bench seat you were sitting on in front of the truck. Please don’t tell me you made it yourself.
Difference between automatic & standards version standard you can peel out more. My opinion automatic a lot safer just use synthetic transmission fluid Mobil one synthetic transmission fluid. And depending how much prevented maintenance an high quality external transmission cooler
What a beautiful truck, 100% class! I have a restored 67 c10 LT swapped/8 speed, lowered restomod. I’m running CPP tubular a arms, OEM steering linkage with a Borgersen quick ratio steering box and solid steering shaft (u joints, no rag joint). Yet I still have a lot of steering slop and find myself chasing the car on rougher roads. What can I do to upgrade my steering so that it matches the performance of the drivetrain? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The # tag is not lame, but I would put it in the engine bay and label it for what it is. WTF does #?? mean? Thinking of the guy 25-30 years from now looking at it.
Buts it’s not an EV , you’ll be out of compliance in California in 2035. 😂😂 Seriously, nice work, with all the paint and ceramic coating it seems like it will last for decades. How much does that truck cost? Given the collectors value of the old truck, rare, and all the modern work, it’s hard to guess. Well she is not EMP proof, for being a simple truck, what are all of the electronics needed for behind the seats? Beautiful work , I bet it feels good to drive and further more drive as a daily driver.
Man those hood struts look exactly like the ones LS-FAB makes .... are you sure you really made those? Would be a shitty cop out to claim somebody else's stuff as your own .... especially at your level.
I guess I have lost touch with the car scene, it's one thing to get a shitbox running and be in the car scene but to drop the kind of coin that a Derelict must cost and have it look this rough is beyond my dumb brain. I won't take a picture of a person's ride at a show if their tires are dirty. To each their own Icon seems to have all the customers they can handle.
