My grand pa had a 72 F-100 & F-600. What a beautiful memories of him taking me for a ride around town. the view of the dash and the hood thru the wondshield. I-m planning to get a F-100 or 250 67-72 sometime in the next couple of years.

Saudações Brasil, parabéns pelo conteúdo, esse caminhão é muinto bom .

Very cool project

Awesome videos!

Love this truck. I’m going to do a married np205 on my next highboy build.

Looks great, a ford truck I whoudnt mind owning, great job as always

Hello Matt, Thanks for your awesome videos. They have been an incredible help rebuilding my 1966 F-250 4X4. Could you tell me where I could find new brake likes for the Dana 44HD front axle like you have in this video. They are impossible to find. Regards, Jeremy

Scored! Was looking to convert my 1971 bumpside to 4X4. Bought a complete 1977 1/2 year rarity. Original 351M/400 converted to 460, C6 auto, Dana 44 open knuckle disc brake. Rusty cab but repairable. My 71 is rust free, so now a conundrum.

What many may not think of is that if this were a modern vehicle all these "dents and dings" would have totaled these plastic Lego cars😂

sweet!!!

Built Ford Tough 👍

bonita camioneta ,no es de lujo,es corriente

How difficult is it to add disc brakes to the older axles? Power steering? Is it the old hydraulic ram system?

whatever happened to this engine? I dont see it returning in any episode titles?

All I have to say is I love the bumper sticker on the Ultimate Highboy! “Beef Eaters are better lovers” 😂

Look like a nice old pickup there for a 1972 Ford 4x4

A pair of Turbo mufflers should make that sound a lot less like a juvenile delinquent, yet still nice and throaty.

If the newer super duty seats would fit you comfortable and sit right after modification in the truck atleast it would still be Ford seats

Not worried about getting over spray on the white doors off to the side when you were painting the timing chain cover plate and the air cleaner and the lid

Was this originally a fe352 4spd manual shift transmission or a column shift 3spd manual transmission truck Matt sir

So sick!!! 👌👌👌🤘🇨🇦

Glad to see it's driving again. Sure makes it easier to justify more changes when it does. Good job on the 3rd starter bolt. I like the thought of EFI, but go back and forth over for the same reasons you mentioned.

Beautiful pickup👍. You have stock 16 rims on there?, and also what tires and size if you don't mind me asking?

Nice I did my 68 step side same colors

Awesome video Thx!

Hey Matt! Great job as always. What's the part number on the Champ radiator? I'm waiting on one for the same project. Thanks.

Go with Dynomax welded muffler. No drone and low tone. Only loud when you are wide open throttle. I did the Edelbrock Pro Flow 4 on a 454 swapped C10 for a customer. I had to play with it for a day to get the tune correct. He loves the cold start and overall drivability. I found that it was a learning curve to get it right. But once I got it right, it’s perfect and has been for 2yrs now. Did you set AF target under part throttle ect? You can call Edelbrock tech line and they are SUPER helpful!!!!

Hey Matt you might try an oval stock muffler, or similar style like a flow master or a torpedo muffler which is like a really long glass pack muffler. The reason I say that is my old 78 Ford F-250 and 1979 Ford F-350, never sounded that loud with their 360 and 390 engines. For that matter neither did the 460 that TSTI dropped into a 1984? Ford F-350, and those trucks had stock mufflers, but also had stock exhaust manifolds you can also add a resonator in before the muffler to quiet the engine down.

In the summer of 1979 my dad blew the engine up in my Ford F250 custom 2wd with a 390 6.4 litre engine. I was a sophmore in college and had 750 bucks to get another engine in the truck. I got a used 390 FE out of a 1970 LTD from an suto repair shop for a 100 bucks so I took the motor apart, took the engine block to a machine shop and my uncle Richard worked in the parts department at a Ford dealer so I got a deal on parts and got a 425 hp Ford cam that was in the 427 motors. I ported and polished the cylinder heads and the Ford cast iron high rise 4 barrel intake off a 1968 GTA mustang motor a guy was parting out. I put a set of headers on it with a simple dual exhaust exiting behind the rear wheels. It ended up a pretty decent engine rebuild. If that engine in your truck sounds too loud, you might be getting too old.

Great video! One of the best RUclipsrs and I'm not kidding!!!

I tore down the 390 I am building and the lower bearings are the ones that was copper colored in it also but I am going to get the crank ground if I have to and I probably will have it bored another 10 thousand just to clean up the cylinders being it had gotten water in couple of the cylinders and it had some light pitting I’m learning a lot and have been watching lots of FE engine rebuild videos also

Nice job with the reassembly Matt 🙂👍

Glad to see its back on the road nice work!!

Just bought an estate sale and in the garage was a 1967 f250, one owner all records, under 70k miles, practically no rust, garage kept but good is off to the side and is wrapped up, custom camper on back. Will be needing to sell soon, located central Indiana, owner was a decorated Korean War veteran that bought it new and recently died. If you know anyone let me know please

Another nice video Matt!

Never been so early. When I clicked on the vid it said published "52 seconds ago"

I love this truck, my grand pa had a 1972 F-100. Happy memories of riding next to him driving around town, the smell of the interior, the sound of that V8, the view thru the windshield with that unique Ford hood shape. I want to buy one of this. Is it difficult to find one in good shape, I would rebuild the engine, transmission, rebuild the suspension, brakes. How much a truck like this fully mechanically operational would cost?

Matt you want another one. I got a 1971 highboy same truck I got a 460 in it out of a Lincoln Continental 4 barrel it's got an MP 205 transfer case in it 409 axles runs good . I got a 1968 highboy with a 360 in it good running 360 four barrel married transfer case the 1971 is divorced anyhow let me know Sean

Is this something you want to sell?

Great work on your truck looks great man. I have an issue with my 79 460, my ac compressor replacement is not lining up with water pump pulley its slightly forward would i need to make some slots to move towards the firewall pish it back or is my main crank pulley and water pump pulley to far forward? It came with a vintage air set up when i bought it.

What paint do you use for the frame

Walker Quiet Flows helped me to hear myself think in the Mustang. They were a much better choice than the Borlas they replaced. There is a 3.5" inlet and outlet option, but it gets pricey. I got the 2.5" offset inlet and center outlet through Rockauto for $50-60 a muffler last year. If I had a muffler from a diesel truck laying around, then I would start there too. For the starter, with only 2 bolts, you may have this same trouble again of bolts getting loose. A few random thought for the third bolt…. 1. Drill through the plate and transmission. Run the bolt through both, buildup a flat spot on the transmission by welding or grinding for a bolt head. 2. Drill through the plate and transmission then enlarge the hole in the transmission to allow for a Torqs head or allen head bolt to set against the adapter plate. Both would still leave the starter serviceable. 3. Last thought is to tap the plate for a stud then drill the threads out of the third hole on the starter for a slip fit. You could cut away some of the starter housing to allow for the stud to be seen, then add a nut and washer. Hopefully there is enough detail to visualize the thoughts in my head. Good luck.
