    I'm a Chevy man but that old Ford is a sweet ride. Hunter is a lucky young man to have a father that helps he's kid out and it seems that you have a lot of patience too. The world needs more fathers like you, great job both of you and the other people that helped too.

      I respect and appreciate your comment!! I'm a HARD CORE FORD MAN, and the proud owner of a '75 F250 Highboy!! But, ever since I purchased my truck in 2019, I've been noticing, admiring and even wanting to own, at least one of each truck from the era!! Gotta be honest, the '77 Chevy Stepside 4x4, is a work of art!! Take a look at Hollywood from the era...

    Well done Hunter you have something you can enjoy for years to come. You are lucky to have a father with such a well equipped shop and the knowledge to help you. This could be the start of a hobby of saving older vehicles and or equipment if you are that way inclined. You and your father have done a great job there and it sounds great. It will bring a smile to your face every time you drive it, and that makes it all worth it.

    The smile on Hunter’s face when he heard that 460 for the first time… Priceless.
    That’s one fine pickup… It amazes me how you take things like rear main leaks and cracked new transmissions in stride… That kind of stuff is a gut punch to me after all that work… I gotta cuss, bitch, moan and whine for a few minutes before I go back in.

    Hunter, enjoy every single minute with your dad!!! I lost mine a couple years ago and would give ANYTHING to be able to tell him how much I appreciate all he did for us and to tell him I love him one more time!!! Cherish every moment young man and give him a hug once in a while and tell your mom & dad how much you appreciate AND love them!!! That's one sweet machine 🙂

    I really liked the Ford Highboy compilation of videos. I am impressed with the knowledge and ability of both your sons, Hunter and Tucker. You are doing a fantastic job of teaching them trades that will help them throughout their lives. It makes a father happy to see how you teach and assist your boys. You are very patient with them and compliment them as they complete their projects. I always look forward to your videos and how you vary the content. Keep up the good work!

      My bucket truck is an F450 short wheelbase with a 3 valve V10. Even with the fiberglass utility body, it only gets 5mpg too. Probably it'd do a little better if I kept my foot out of it (which I don't, haha)

    I have a 77 f250 highboy. I put in the 460 but i modified a C6 auto transmission. With B and M floor shifter. I put in power steering instead of hydraulic assist. I also had to modify for larger aluminum radiator. Fan shroud is very important also. I have many more added features. I went pre 85 460. This was 450 hp out of the line. Out of the Lincoln. After that the 460 only was produced with barley 200 hp. Lots of torque but not the same. It can still be bored another 120 over in 460 block only. You can switch 429 heads and intake. Bolts up all the same but a 429 is not a 460 block. It sure would have been nice to have help. I turned every bolt in that truck alone. More than once. I have put in positrax and more. Your truck really looks nice. Not many ever get a truck that nice. It beats the new ones.

    Sometime during the '77 model year federal mandate eliminated tanks in the cab (probably a/o 1/1/77)
    Prior to that 4x4's with dual tank had one in the cab and one in the back.

  • @jerrystarner1517

I’m 60 now and still have very good memories of working on that truck with my dad. Clint the time you spend with your kids will be great memories someday! Keep the great videos coming man!

    When I was farming in the 70's and 80's I replaced all my Ford motors with 460's. I had friends in wrecking yards save me all the 460's that came in primarily in Lincolns. I would rebuild them during the winter with my kids. Even though they were young they learned about motor building.

    The sound of the truck brought me back to my youth, kinda choked me up a little, I'm 47 so I grew up with 70s Ford trucks I owned a few of them. The glass packs with the 4spd you can't beat that sound. The truck is a keeper, drive it during the summer park it during the winter. I always wished I kept my old 70s trucks I was only 18 years old life was just starting.

So happy for you good thing you live in the USA so you can afford gas her in CANADA 6.50 per gallon she would get expensive to drive but would be alot of fun. Love the exhaust choice Hunter sounds throaty. Congratulations on the great truck rebuild and Clinton great video was waiting for the completion…🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I felt like I was sitting about 10' in the air driving it, haha! They wanted $2200 and I wish I would have bought it! And Clint is sporting my 2nd favorite camo pattern - duck hunter, a design that goes back to WWII.

    @robpeters5204 Год назад

    That is one lucky kid. I didn’t comment before because I waited until fire up day. When the inevitable shit eaten grin from ear to eat broke across his face.
    Through all that boring work and exhausting work which seemed to never end, I knew it was going to happen.
    There are 3 times a boy goes through the right of passage and that is when he loses his virginity, builds his first engine and starts it and the day he has his first child.
    Not a fan of that exhaust noise. I prefer to have a high flow muffler like a Mac 3” so I can hear the cam working through the headers and a nice low rumble. That’s just unwanted noise.
    Dad also has a special feeling of making his boy do something he can be proud of.
    Hunter is certainly a different person today. He now has self respect, something he didn’t have before. He now has a purpose because he now can see what he can do. This is one of those special and important life lessons that most parents want for their children. Expensive but worth every cent if it makes an unbreakable bond between parent and child.
    Good work dad.

    @P-J-W-777 Год назад

    If y’all decide to repaint the truck you should pull the in cab fuel tank and plate over where the fuel neck filler cap is located. That will give him storage behind the seat for tools speakers and whatever else. Plus it will get rid of the smell of gas in the cab. My grandfathers 76 and 79 had in cab fuel tanks originally and no matter what the cab always smelled like gas and then we installed external tanks during the restoration and afterwards you’d never know they originally had cab tanks. We put a fuel tank tool box combo in the bed as it was just being built and restored as a ranch truck. The 79 was done similar to Hunters as it had a filler neck door on the bed as well. Some good sound deadening and heat shielding would make the cab much quieter and more comfortable but the truck is looking and sounding very good.

    What a great job you guys did and what a beautiful bad ass truck, I thoroughly enjoyed the videos on this truck. I had a 1974 F-100 Custom with the same brown color but solid. It had a 390 in it with headers and aluminum mag wheels. It had a three on the tree shifter on it. I was 19 when I bought it from my favorite high school teacher. I'm 66 now and I really miss that truck. I think I need to find me another one now. Watching you guys really brought back a lot of good memories. Thank you!!!
