This Old Truck! Crown Hick!

- Here’s a quick peak under the hood of this 1966 F100 body mounted to a crown Victoria Chassis and then super charged because SUPER CHARGED. And then here’s an old trick to put plugs in hard to reach places.

About the Crown Hick; This 1969 Ford F250 has been shortened over 14″ and mated to the largely stock guts and chassis of a 52k-mile 2008 P71 cop package Crown Victoria. Looking all the world like an old farm workhorse, the truck is described as being a “cool daily driver with cold A/C, that you don’t have to worry about getting dirty or scratching.” Powered by a modular SOHC 4.6 liter V8 backed by the factory 4-speed automatic, we imagine it drives a lot like the Crown Vic it now essentially is!

I love this project so much. If this were mine I'd never get out of the cab except for gas and to work on it.
I love that you showed the rubber tube trick I seem to yell a lot of RUclips videos because it would make changing plugs so much easier I guess it's just us veterans that know that little trick
Nice job Lucky! Love when you go old school. Nice do too! I was getting ready to call you Steve again. 😂
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the handy tips
No problem!
You and tony are the reason my dad and I put a crownvic frame and everything under a 51 ford chassis. It was a lot of work. Custom frame rails and since its narrower but it was the best project we ever did. Been 6 years now and it just keeps getting better!
Very cool! 🏁🏁
Tips for getting the wires back on? That’s where I always have issues. Big hands. No space to push em on
The church that I went to as a kid in Westminster, CA. One of the guys in my Sunday school class. His Dad worked for J.C. Penny's in the auto repair Dept. That trick has come in handy several times in my life.6=8.
Old school hack, well done showing the basics is where it all begins 😎
I watched this yesterday but forgot to leave a comment so.......... comment. lol
good to see the crown hick
Thanks coming back to leave a comment
@@luckysgarageshow anything to help the cause.
For a second there I thought this was a collaboration with Geoff from “Elderly Iron - This Old Truck”. I would definitely watch that.
Always liked this truck was wondering what had happened to it. Great tip.👍
Thanks 👍
Appreciate for showing the hose trick.
I love Crown Hick & was wonder if Motor Trend sold this thing.
I'm now curious what are Newbern & Cotton gonna do to this thing.
Panther Platform Rulez... 🤘
That's an oldie but a goodie! Works on anything but a Boss 429 Mustang.
Good to see my favorite car and truck ok lucky always great to see you have a great Thursday bud Pit the kitty project X for me please😂❤ later 👍
Thanks 👍
Still my favorite project
Thank you🏁💪🏼
I would like to do that conversion to a 56 F100.
The only time I felt you looked really perturbed was the last time Tony was driving this truck😏
I'm guessing the boys didn't read the sticker under the hood then.
Just an FYI, your phone microphone is very directional! When talking to the camera the volume drops off significantly.
Semi hemi heads??
What does it mean when you say “Mod” motor?
That it's a ford "modular" 4.6/5.4 overhead cam...
-EDIT- If you maintain them they will run to 500k miles...
I use a piece of thin PVC pipe duct taped to a shop vac to get all the dust and debris out of the holes before I pull the plugs. It is amazing what collects in those cylinder head holes on a daily driver.
Lol,If you can't eat it or sleep with it,
Don't give it all away.
Cool Tip...l remember this build - especially the wire (spaghetti) harness laid out on the floor, figuring what went & what stayed...you're better than me - heap mo' betta'
Hose is a good trick.. buy they make a magnetic/swivle spark plug socket specifically for those mod motors. Makes changing the plugs a dream!😮
I’ve loved this since us Australians had the freedom to watch HRG
Before the Overlords decided we can’t see American content that we can view on EVERY other format….
Which to this day seems like a master stroke of a management genius……..?
Did something like this recently but all we had was a drinking straw. Worked like a charm but not as smoothly as your technique. Will have to keep some vacuum hose laying around. 😁
Love the Crown Hick!!👍 Glad to see it's still around! Looks like you've got ALOT of expensive machinery parked in the shop! Still blows my mind that X is still evolving!! 💰🤑⛽️
Thanks 👍
It is a very cool vehicle, sad that it seems you aren't allowed (or don't want to risk) saying the name of the person you were building it with at the time. But overall a very cool way to get an old pickup to drive like a dream.
Dig it. A shop of reality. Trailer queens not apply.
Indexing is a real pain on the deep ones.
Great that all the plugs came out. Did plugs on a 5.4. Stressful. Had the tool on stand by. Didn't need it thank goodness.

I have a 5.4, I always put a dab of antisieze on the threads they never stick. Just a little FYI.
Yes, did that when I closed up the gap. 👊
I need to find me a crown Vic frame one of these days, want to swap a dent side onto one so bad
Do it!!!
@@luckysgarageshow just need to get my crew cab 90s chev ls swapped first lol. List of projects never seems small
@@TheBuuurnzI have a nicely maintained 2007 P71 with 10k on a new transmission , I'm in Minnesota if you may be interested, paint is pealing bad and has some rust on body but drivetrain is perfect...
@@jcanfixall1585 I'm probably at least a few years from getting around to a project like that unfortunately
@@jcanfixall1585 I'm also in Alberta Canada
I have been using the hose trick with spark plugs since the ‘70’s when the old guy I was working for taught me! But still a good refresher, thanks Lucky!!
Thanks for the video 👍
No problem 👍
Nice truck
Thanks 👍
Love that truck. The only thing I would change is wheel's. I would get some of the Detroit steelies for those Dog dish hubcaps to sit on. 🤟😎
Cool trick with the hose. Many years ago my dad gave me a tool from MAC tools that is essentially this. I use it a lot for changing spark plugs on my trucks.
The Crown Hick is my favorite .
Yeah! Glad to see the crown hick in a faster with Newbern and cotton episode.
Lucky , thanks for posting
First comment! 🏁👊🏻
I used to do the hose trick on old air cooled VW's.
