@@ridgerunnergarage welcome. Used to travel from stephenville to 11 miles west of Wellman every other weekend in that truck. She would get me one way and forty miles toward the other end of the trip on a tank of gas. No air conditioning but an alpine stereo.
Can’t believe you took the CB out, I’d also keep the Rescue Squad placard on the front they add character and show some of the history of that truck. Don’t know if I’ve said this before but I like your editing style. You tell us what you’re going to do, you do it then show us what you did. You don’t make us watch 30 mins of welding. 👍🏻
@@williammurch7972 You would think but they’re actually all pretty awesome. I go the extra mile though, and make sure the end of the day everything picked up and tidy
Great video. I have an 84 elco. Started working on it and stopped. Was getting expensive lol. I still got it tucked away in the garage. One day one day lol.
@@mrzales4633 I know how that is. Get it out and get it running or wash it up. What ever it takes to get inspired. I tell myself everyday, and I seriously mean everyday! Nobody is going to do it for you, get up and get to it. That has always been my inspiration.
Man I have a 77 d100 I’ve been debating doing a chassis swap on. For once I thought someone was going to do it first. Great work and love all the videos.
We have a product in Australia called start ya bastard. If you have air and spark and spray that stuff down the carbs it’ll fire up immediately. It’s literary cocaine for engines.
New subscriber here. I just found your channel today and I am really enjoying the videos. I need to do some of this same stuff on my 1981 Ford F-150 so it's some good info for me.
@@MikeReed Thank you. My plans are to put the radio in a Jeep we picked up to go wheeling. We are planning on doing a video on that Jeep. Hope people like it.
Please explain to me why pickup trucks are so popular in the USA? I am impressed that you can easily buy spare parts for older vehicles. In Europe, purchasing spare parts for 40-50 year old cars is very difficult.
@@arminkierylak9620 I’m no expert, but I have a few theories. The US is pretty big theres a lot of old cars still out there. Plus, there’s a lot of southern states with warmer weather where old cars last forever. If you drive the back roads in the Carolinas every house has an old Camaro, Mustang or truck in the backyard.
Enjoyed your video ( now subscribed ). I do not weld. If I wanted to be able to occasionally fabricate a bracket, fix a floor pan et cetera. Which type of welding would you recommend?
@@sweine1974 either one of the Lincoln’s or Miller’s you can’t go wrong. I would recommend something just a little bigger than the one I have around the 200+ amp range.
@@hawkhawkins5374 No we didn’t, do you think we should have? I’m getting ready to pull one out of my ‘54 because it’s leaking. Think I should use urethane?
@@ridgerunnergarage well I watched the precision rubber install video for our trucks and they used a urethane sealer. I was curious if your way worked also. I have to do mine soon.
Just a trick of the trade...... IF you ever buy a 3rd gen (71-74) Charger/Roadrunner and it needs a new back bumper get a early (74-80) D-150 front bumper, They are the exact same bumper, literally.... same part number.
@@edwardpoe7323 We are lucky. The neighbors are great. Always interested in what new projects we bring home. I don’t leave any out and it’s all put away at the end of the day.
It’s not rust, it’s an escape hatch!
Jokes aside, you’re doing the Lord’s work putting this piece of history back together.

You need a small rope to rope the windshield in
