Really cool build. Well thought out. I have had a 1976 crew cab in my barn for the last 10 years and feel terrible I haven’t built it out yet. This video is great motivation. Thank You
That's bada$$!!.. so glad these old trucks are staying on the road..especially with modern design and technology!.. Keep em coming.. I'll have to get in touch with you!
It's easy to tell when someone is trying to con you into thinking something is worth more than it's true value. All these guys do is make others feel entitled to ask 10 times the actual worth.
@@gracieemmitt5489 you wouldn't believe me if I said I've been building these for 30 years, and I can't post pics on YT of my builds... So I guess you're lost in Cambodia to ever know the truth in what I say. Ps - because you won't get the Cambodia reference, look up Kim Wildes song...
The best part about a truck like this. It's parts of the easy to get whenever you need to service it truck Since almost all the parts are literally just O.E.M. parts for a 22 Super Duty
I had that same truck but 1979 with the 400/C6 engine trans. On military 36's in 1987 it was a beast mine sat alittle bit higher. It was a ex government truck with no smog in California legally. It was great except for gas mileage.
Stunning machine, very tastefully done. I get why people love the patina, but just imagine this truck with an off the lot paint job of the factory original color. 🤤
I really like that old Ford, my dad drove a Ford 4 door pickup for the railroad hauling people from train to train and sometimes hauling crews to unload boxcars
I've had many Ford pickups, 55 to 2014. One of my favorites was 69 100 with 300 inline 6 with international 4 speed and galaxy 500 rear end. 4 th gear cruised 45-90 mph. Got great mileage at 75 mph
60's - early 70's are bumpside trucks, the dentsides are the next era, mid to late 70's. This truck has the line running down the truck bumped out, hence bumpside
Don't have Instagram yes I'm a old-timer lol interested in the tuck and builds how would I go about getting in touch with this gentleman thanks for sharing keep the great work coming 👍👍
I just tried buying a 1974 crewcab, and the guy wants $7k... Roof is rusted out about 2 inches wide for the length of the entire drip gutter, floor pans and bed completely rusted thru, seized engine, every panel dented... It's fine if you want to charge for rare, but people these days try to take part of what you might be able to make it worth... I found a 78 supercab for $600, and will work with that. Some people are going to die with their toys and never use them, thinking they're sitting on gold.
@@FordEra what's even sadder is his de!usions that my same vintage extended cab that runs was worth a tenth of his crewcab.... These people want it all for nothing, not fair trade.
this truck made a quick appearance (drove past dave) on the channel The Dirthead Shed at the end of his "ford f250 repairs and road trip to sema 2023 show" too
I wonder if there will be a point when people realize that all that modern technology is PITA when it starts to get miles on it and start swapping back to simple. Beautiful truck but I was out when I heard that door chime.
Something about old trucks with modern wheels just looks weird. I understand doing a chassis swap with a modern vehicle I get it but surely they make retro wheels at this point.
They did it right, New truck with all the classic styling, and they kept the classic interior. Perfect!
I think it is too

Man, you got to get after it, '76s are my fav because of the bicentennial
That's bada$$!!.. so glad these old trucks are staying on the road..especially with modern design and technology!.. Keep em coming.. I'll have to get in touch with you!
They are awesome
"Character, rustic, patina" buzzwords for marketing that make damage more expensive! Yay!
Yup annoying
Thats because these are the kinds of people who when the new wears off they throw it away. So "rustic" just makes it "new" again

@@Faolan161 really and how many have you built to know the “actual worth”?

Oh baby, that IS the Truck!! I have a 72 regular cab bump side Camper Special, and this would be awesome to do it to. Great job!!
Absolutely badass! I love it and would be absolutely proud to own, drive, and tow my camper with that beauty!
I'm a GM truck guy but love the old Ford pickups -- that is BADASS -- I'd love one as a daily!
Imagine if this was available 25 years earlier alot of these trucks Chevy ford or dodge could’ve avoided the crusher
Coolest Ford build I've seen in 2 or 3 years. I like the idea and concept of this and love the color of this truck.

Live in Cheyenne, I clicked to watch because I saw the Wyoming plates. Not 2 County plates anymore, but pretty badass. Good job.

Looks like a great score, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thanks
All I can say about it is AMAZING. That is a great way to mix modern with old. The back seat should be incorperated with the modern trucks of today.
So beautiful. First time I see this kind of truck.
Nice to see a Godzilla, as they are getting put in more and more vehicles. Bitchin' patina!
It is so good
Love these builds!
Truly the best of both worlds!
I like it, I'm not into the patina look, but it's a very nice build.
The style if the older trucks I like better. The truck looks great.
What a cool truck; KILLER PATINA!!
It’s so good
That is absolutely killer! cant imagine how much it costs but its almost perfect just needs some 40's :)
40s would be wild
The business I dream starting and build but I don't even know where to start haha. Gorgeous Truck man !
Just get a truck and start
Bumpside? Never heard those bed designs as bumpsides. Now, Dentside... yes, that is what we called them in the 60's &70's.
60's - early 70's are bumpside trucks, the dentsides are the next era, mid to late 70's.
This truck has the line running down the truck bumped out, hence bumpside

Now it has death wobble. Haha just kidding. Awesome build great work.
Man that's a really nice truck, had a 68 f250 with the 390 and it was a bear to drive. Would love to have a truck like this one, awesome job
Beautiful build!
It really is!
I want that seat in my 03 DMAX. Love the build
We would love to get you on our show!!
Love this truck! Awesome build!!
the camera guy is a sweetheart
Boxwood green is my favorite color
That car just looks awesome 💯
How much $$$ ???
Does the DMV see it as a 1972 vehicle ??
Everyone used their trucks like that back then: tops of tailgates bashed in a little, bed floor all dented up.
So the body didn't have to be modified (stretched or widened) to fit the newer chassis?
Correct
Incredible. Wow; this is what I need
Great find & awesome rebuild .....
Take that over a fully modern truck any day
its the best
This is artwork.
What truck did that “super cab” back seat come out of?
All I can say is wow.
Yes
I love it I wanted to do the same thing, do you know what body style configuration chassis he used that fits the crew short bed?
Extended short i belive
this truck made a quick appearance (drove past dave) on the channel The Dirthead Shed at the end of his "ford f250 repairs and road trip to sema 2023 show" too
I love it. I'd love to have it, but I hate the patina look. I would paint it.
I love recho mod now it needs electric start
It has it i believe
Cool truck 🥶🥶🥶
That thing is amazing 👍🏻
Thats the last truck a man would ever need.
I prefer two doors but I love it😆🙋👍
They are all good
Just gorgeous!!
My dream truck
Sweet truck, definitely one of my dream builds
America 🇺🇸 🦅💪🏼🛠️
Awesome truck
It sure is!
What year truck does the rear seat come from?
Would love to do my 78’ crew 300 in-line 6 4spd nice job boys 🇨🇦👍
Your i6 would get as good mpg and tow better when built than these new engines... at much less expense.
Really awesome
Glad you think so!
Im in VA. I have been looking for something like this. Where can I contact these guys?
Email me SL@fordera.com
bruuuuuuuh i need this truck its so cool!!!!!!!!
I love this truck!
How many cubic inches is 7.3 liters?
Looks like your phone does the same crappy switching lenses focus crap my Iphone14 does....
sadly this is my professional Canon R5 doing it
He's got the same fuel door as my 72 bump crew
Nice
Those fuel doors were ordered from JC Whitney catalogs in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s
What a great truck.
I have a ranger 350 single cab 1979 and a 2022 ford super duty diesel 🤔
Sounds like fun
Does the air bag work for the driver?
Just beautiful, a 4" lift and bigger tires would be sweet.
That would be cool!
That is awesome!
Bad ass I love it
We do too
do you build for customers ??
That thing’s amazing
So awesome, what company??
Can you please provide a link to his shop?
How much they going for?
I wonder if there will be a point when people realize that all that modern technology is PITA when it starts to get miles on it and start swapping back to simple. Beautiful truck but I was out when I heard that door chime.
Turn the door chime off with forscan. Cost 20 dollars and can program almost anything you want in factory settings.
Love the truck
I would love to have that.
Sick truck
I want one!
Only one haha
Sea pine green? Very nice.
Boxwood
did you create the patina? Also you are you keeping it protected? clear coat. thx what a truck
TAKE MY MONEY!!
How much
Is it for sale or it was built for a customer
I’m In Love ❤️❤️
Isn’t that a fleet side?
Even the chassis is getting patina slowly😂 2022 ford lol
What’s the name of his shop ? That’s absolutely perfect!! Thanks for the video 👍. The look is great, people pay a lot for that finish ! Good find!!
Jack’d up Trucks
I would buy this over any new truck if I could.
He said f350 a number of times but the title..
The chassis of the newer truck he used is a F350 the classic truck he used is a F250
❤️❤️❤️
N.I.C.E.
it was great until you showed the dash . That motor stock gauges the start key up on the left would be epic
Something about old trucks with modern wheels just looks weird. I understand doing a chassis swap with a modern vehicle I get it but surely they make retro wheels at this point.
patina = rust.. I don't like rust on my vehicles and would prefer that to be painted with primer and a few good coats of paint.
Now 12 valve swap it
