Love the direction you guys are headed with the flat deck. I was one throwing shade on the exhaust stack. My apologies for that. Can't wait to see future improvements to this project. A different swap with taller gears? Disks? All would be great to see.

@PaulThomas-qo9vy Год назад

Yes, thanks for removing that dufus looking pipe. I would have been ok with a stack just behind the cab, left or right side. The under-chassis with driver side exit is best & sounds good too! Suggestions: (A)refit the I/C in Front of the radiator, (B) change Turbine hot-side to smaller A/R & Electronic Boost Controller (EBC) to wsste gate for quicker transient (spool up) response. (maybe install EBC 1st & test B4 turbine housing swap. That might be enough so you don't have to wait. Right on ya'll !

@OnHolliday Год назад

I've been watching all of yall's builds for a long time and I've gotta say, this old truck paired with the episodes building that 300 is probably my favorite so far. I'd love to see that truck get freshened up underneath both visually and functionally, get some taller gears to make it more streetable and somewhat restored to its former glory. Maybe keep with the white paint scheme and give it blue accents to match the 300 and some fresh chrome to bring her back around. That truck has so much potential and it could all be done within a very reasonable budget 🤙🤙🤙

@thecman26 Год назад

You know what they say! A bolt can't be stuck if it's liquid! Hence the flame wrench is good to use on rusted out hardware! I'm more than confident that Gabby has done a lotta work with wood. Don't let her fool ya!

@DomEngines Год назад

The truck is quite good looking. I was hoping for a proper exhaust. Suspension wise... I think they kinda made it unusable in my books. Other than that I like the build :)

@my11badkids78 Год назад

Personally I take a grinder with a wire wheel to bolts that have alot of rust and corrosion on them. Before I even try to remove. I don't know how many I've gotten free and they end up galling when you get to the exposed threads. Precleaning them helps to eliminate that problem. I work in a mineral/vitamin/ feed mill and all the mineral cause extreme wear. I've taken off bolts that were installed a year previous but look similar to bolts that have been on a vehicle for 50 years. Penetrating oil and heat is great for breaking it free but you'll want to remove any potential issues after that.

Was it me, or was she a terrible welding instructor on camera? I hope she is better in-person. I know it has been covered many times before, but she could have gone of the basics of welding, talked about the different types, then explained what she teaches her students. Patting someone on the back for “whatever makes you feel good” is not good instruction.

The rails that gabby cut should be beveled or angled from top to bottom inward a bit.. they look vicious to knock your knee on.. might be a good spot for a step rail too... for a bumper.. Great job though everyone, looks awesome lowered a bit.. probably better mileage too.. I think if it was mine & I had the resources I would only paint inside the engine bay & interior, leave shell as is, with nice new wheels & brakes.. super fat tire on back instead of doolys?.. some blasting the rust off the bottom maybe, with Vinegar & then paint bottom.. & rails..

@davidrichey4054 8 месяцев назад

Actually that just applied to the 1/2 ton models. The F150 was introduced to split the payload of an F100 and F250. That change was made in 1975 through 83 until they discontinued the F100 all together. F250 and F350 are correct terminology

Swap the suspension off of a crown Vic on to it so you’ve got disk brakes all the way around it. Only down side would be losing the dual rear wheels but then again. With the Vic suspension that turbo 300 and a 6 speed instead of the 4 speed it would make for a heck of a shop truck in my opinion

That 300 is blowing a lot of white smoke. It looks like they're a couple hard runs away from showing the rods to the outside world.

@Fordman7575 Год назад

It'll take a lot more then the boost they are running to break a 300 rod. It'll pop a head gasket long before it hurts the crank or rods. I've got 7 240/300's right now and have owned many more. The weak link on the engines are stock pistons on the early engines ( break skirts ) and the head gaskets. And if you do pop a head gasket and hydraulic the engine you'll bend a rod. These engines came stock with forged rods. As long as it has ARP rod bolts it's good to go.

@bmstylee Год назад

@@Fordman7575 so all that smoke is just a prop? You fan boys make me laugh. They didn't use stock pistons on the build The invincible holy icon is broken after a few hard pulls. Meanwhile I can get a junkyard takeout and make the same amount of power reliably for less.
