Thanks so much! Hugely appreciate the support!
Yep, now Tony can do whatever he wants without the corporate nags from MT shutting him down.
hell yeah its good wholesome content 100
Totally agree.
We love the car AND food content. Please keep providing both ❤
Strong mullet game on Brendan!
Freakin glorious
I thought that was a front loader washing machine tat on his right arm, until I realized he was a musician
@@MichaelSmith-jv7zmhaha it is a front loader. They’re oddly calming to watch, I love doing laundry.
I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality… its fabulous
@@BrendenReidJones hahaha your serious it is,? it's not a guitar amp 🤔 because I was totally busting your balls
The only thing sicker than that body swapped truck is my man’s sweet ass mullet.
Dude, the "We're Gonna Lose the Shop" is the best thing ever! I almost spit out beer when you said "If we don't get these steaks done right we're gonna lose the shop!" It makes me laugh every time! Love the videos Tony!
Who said this first,? I see a lot of RUclipsrs saying this and having this on their merch
@@MichaelSmith-jv7zm my guess is American Chopper? No idea.

@@rockdinosaur8619 thanks
I think the whole produced drama began with Boyd Coddington's show American Hot Rods, and every show since has followed the same formula , bigger better builds on a budget with even less time and less help. Probably what killed Boyd the stress and a younger second wife and having the first still as a business partner and not a silent one unfortunately.
I was bummed out with you and Mike leaving your respective shows, but as a fellow family man, I 100% understand the time invested vs. time away stresses. The fact that you took a step back and decided to do what made sense for yourself is something many people do after its too late. SO pumped on this channel, and a big amen to doing it your way. Keep 'em coming and I'll definitely keep watching.
P.S. Gonna be at DW this year? I'll be helping Keith do tech, looking forward to seeing you guys if you're making the trip!
if you haven't sucked out the heater box it might be a good idea. Creatures like to make homes that cause fires.... ask me how i know lol
Ok, we can dig into that. Good looking out.
Just fixed one for a friend, "my blowers don't work so good and it's making a vibrating noise", sure enough fluffy and his food store got centrifuged and roasted, all the dry grass etc was plugged up, I can see how heat/possible spark, tinder dry kindling and plenty of air could result in a bad day.
Brendan's truck is super cool, getting it road worthy is the right thing to do, great job guys
The colors on that thing are awesome!!! That truck is freaking sweet!! Would be awesome to see you and Finnegan take both of your trucks out somewhere with your drag cars on the back!!
Maybe one day! Firebird and this thing would be a cool combo.
@@StayTunedTA 💯 that’s for sure!!
I just wanted to say, your choice of vehicles is quality. I love all the rides, and this truck is just chefs kiss. Your video quality grows leaps and bounds with every video. Love the channel, and I always appreciate the pizza breakdowns.
I remember seeing this thing on hotrod garage, sweet back then and it's still sweet today!!
This channel never disappoints. So much better as independent and a quality group of humans (and doggos!).
This truck was and is absolutely glorious.
Tony you guys should do a previous host of HRG build off with all those who have shared your job title and let America choose the winner let the proceeds go to your favorite charities. It would be a win for everyone !!! Damn my best idea before coffee in a long time!!!
Holy hell that mullet is incredible.
That's the most badass mullety mullet I ever saw. It's magical
It’s been said before but I’ll restate; the eating piece in nearly every episode is a huge part of the charm.
Never before has there been a Mullet more majestic than Brenden’s.
Can't go wrong w/Cummins!!
I bought an 04 just like yours from a friend for 4k. Had front end damage. Fixed it for 1500-2k and Im hooked!! Look forward to your diesel tech!
Nice scoop! That's a deal!
i drive garbage trucks with the new red ones. god have they gone downhill. agree with the old ones for sure.
That truck is definitely badass. Glad I'm not the only one with crazy ideas like this, thanks for the inspiration to attempt to make any of them a reality. Though I'm sure my wife won't be so happy with that 😆
Always a good day when I see a Tony video in my feed.
Appreciate it!
Rockin the handle bar mustache
I dunno wtf I'm doing with this facial hair at this point.
@@StayTunedTA take pride in it like Burt Reynolds
Im a bus driver and 80% of the double deckers i drive are 6 banger Cummins. Ive got a bit of a soft spot for them.
I also LOVE this truck. A real work horse with classic cool. Awesome machine ❤
Thanks! Yes, they have always treated me well, so I feel the same way.
Reviving an old project with your buddies, that’s good content. Thanks!
They both have Lost Boys tattoos...Tribute to one of the best movies ever !
You guys got me hooked.. I am staying tuned. With that thing being so easy to work on it would be the perfect toy hauler shop truck.
Right on! Thanks for watching!
Hey Tony and team. You guys are just killing it. You keep going from strength to strength. I love every bit of it, the vehicles, the humor (if this RUclips thing doesn't work out we'll start a food truck) the projects and the food. Easily becoming one of my favorite channels.
Hydroboost...that'll test your lines every time. Double the pressure of a vacuum booster setup. It's great because it's like a big brake upgrade.
Awesome truck. Cleaned up REAL GOOD.
I'm beyond stoked for you guys for the subs an 5 million views u deserve to have that an more I have to give you an ur people mad props for ur success an I have tremendous amount of respect for youTony for not changing who you are I definitely thank you for that I respect the genuineness I ur personality u helped me get threw a really bad part of my life recently I lost pretty much everything during covid business almost lost everything important to me i was very close to making a really bad decision in my life but through it all I could depend on you an ur guys to take the bs off my mind if only for a little bit of time so I thank you for that on top of you not changing who you are that's where I give you mad props an respect as soon as I get stuff caught up in my life ill definitely get merchandise but st this point I'm still just making it but hey I'm alive that's what is important so please don't ever change who u are ...thanks for saving my life Literally cause if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here today so my daughter thanks you as well again mad respect for u Cheddar
That mullet and that truck brings me right back to the 80's.. Except diesel's didn't run like that back then.. My 79 Ford had a 460 with a cam, intake and carb.. I thought it was the shit.. Well it kinda was back then.. Chopped and pulled anything I wanted.. got a whole 7-9mph...
Can it be saved? Yes! Can YOU save it... This remains to be seen. That's not a sketchy tow. That's something a half-ton could manage...
Loving the variety of content on the channel Tony. You and your crew kill it every time. Hopefully you can get Lucky on as a special guest for some fun driver action. Can't wait for the next
Something about trucks, I can always dig it. Tonys old Dodge truck on HRG was one of my favorites, just seemed like a practical and attainable project
The key to asparagus is wrapping it in prosciutto.
I love the idea of body swaps, take old looks and combine with modern tech. I've kicked around the idea myself, but haven't found the right car yet.
It's really such a killer package if you get it to fit and look right. Takes a lot of upgrades to make an old truck drive like one built 20 years later.
@@StayTunedTA Yep, and sometimes there's no amount of upgrades that will get it right. I have a 57 Cadillac Coupe Deville that's in that zone, but she drives good enough from the factory that I don't have to swap it. Doesn't mean I haven't considered dropping it on 94-96 Caprice chassis.
I feel like “modern tech” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting when you’re talking about a 12v Cummins lmao
@@chriskeiser5809relative to the original drive line, it is "modern tech". I guess 😂
Excellent episode..our biggest frustration during a mediocre drag racing career was the transportation from garage to track and back..(390 Ford F350 ramp truck 7 mpg, gutless)..would have loved that rescued truck..
Added a like just for the doggo content! Sweet old pupper!
Thanks! He's the bestest boy!
Best of both in automobile history with this old truck 41 year old F250 body on second Gen Cummins frame & powerplant
We (my parents) had a brand new 1978 F250 Lariat supercab with a 460 and was so fun to do burnouts with as a 16/17 year old. Great episode Tony!
Wegmans!!!!
I'm from central NY and I'm now in TN and I can't tell you how much I miss that store!!!!
And I'm definitely taking notes on this build.
Happy Birthday you handsome sweet beast! We’re Boxer folks, but Rotties always hold a special place. My aunt and uncle had a could I sure loved when I was growing up!
one fun thing to do with that p7100 is to get a brake bias adjuster for a race car and hook it up to the preboost screw so you can mess with at idle fuel while driving. I had mine mounted at the bottom of the dash above the trans tunnel. Becomes a "smoke knob" if you feel like screwing it that far... or have the need. Kinda nice to turn it down when you're not doing much, but bump it up when you're towing to get that off the line response. The AFR mods are super worth doing or redoing, they get done incorrectly a lot of the time.
ooooh. I'm into that. Coal on the fly!
The best part about the show is you making The stakes
Hey Tony I know that you're very knowledgeable when it comes to cars but in case you weren't aware when it comes to towing 60% of the weight should be at the front of the trailer to prevent trailer sway & that heavy Cummins was at the rear of the trailer.
Also that white Dodge Ram 2500 you purchased looks like it has a leveling kit in the front. I would remove that if I were you because the truck should have natural rake; 2 inches taller in the rear so when you tow close to max it's level. Otherwise you LIFT weight in the front & affect steering = bad time.
seeing that DOGGO makes me a bit sad. he is almost exactly the same coloration as mine was. still miss her even though she has been gone for over 12 years. she was 10.
When he was trying to get it into gear reminded me of the scene in Supertroopers where they were trying to drive the Mack truck.
PANIC BEAR!!!! glad to seethe homie doing good!
Tony, I had a 2002 V10 F250 for 12 years. Pulled a 8300+ camper around the country many times. Your right about the gas mileage. It would pull anything you hooked it to and would pass anything on the road except a gas station. It served me well for a very long time. I eventually upgraded to a diesel also. Great content! Keep up the good work.
Easily the sickest truck around. You cleaned it up and it is still dripping in STINK…I love it!
This dudes flow is fantastic.
Applause 👏🏼 and foreign sounds came from that engine according to closed captions.. I’d have to agree!
This is rad! I've got a 78 f250 super cab camper special with a 460. Got it from my grandpa after he passed. It's been off the road for 30 years, but it's getting close to being back on the road!
Thanks! That will be killer to get that thing back in action!
That flow is sick!!!
Old fords and 12 valves have a spot deep in my heart!!! Good stuff TA, the stache is sick👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
She’s a Classic! Last good looking truck Ford ever built. She deserves saving!
Tony the steaks alone should get you a million views. I'm drooling. A set of us 101 mags would be killer on that pickup.
I was amazed at the front seats the entire episode. They look beautiful! Love the sound of a 12 valve cummins and in a dentside ford? Yes!!! Awesome y'all got it doin all the things, you know that it's supposed to do, mostly.. Great video.
The front seats on that old Ford do look amazing. I noticed them, too!
Purple in the Center is the perfect steak bro!
I’m a GM-guy, well ok I like a Cummins too. But this thing is killer. I can still hear that sound of an old Ford when you know on the hood or bed of it. STEEL! Nice work and congrats on the milestone in RUclipsLand!
My dream ride.
As always Tony, you’re the king!
Thanks so much, appreciate it!
Just found this channel, greatness man!
I like how he reversed the truck as if it had a trailer attached, while backing it up to the trailer.
Looka the stash on him lol . Good stuff buddy keep pumping out the content and there’s no doubt in my mind this channel will take right off .
Every time I see a vehicle from that part of the country it makes me glad I don't live there. I love my rust free SW trucks. LOL. I really like the Cummins in the Old Ford.
This truck was SO clean when I got it, it’s actually a Canadian truck that spent its first 35 years on Vancouver Island, and as a 2wd I don’t think they ever drove it in the winter. 10 years of Northeast outdoor parking will do a number though, it breaks my heart a little when I see how rough it’s gotten.
Yeah, dude, you cleared 150,000! Love it! That truck is epic; way to save it! Thanks, guys, and congratulations!✌️❤️😁🇨🇦
Yes! Thank you! Appreciate it!
Weird. I have a 2004 Cummins QCLB, a 1975 F350 Supercab and a Rottweiler.
Now I need to find a 12v extended cab to do a body swap. Great idea!
That rig is super rad. Y’all working in the shop with your buds AND cooking steak or eating fine pizza!?! How can it get any better? Easily one of the best car channels on the tubes 🤘🏼
Cooking and turning wrenches, my kinda shop!
I don’t care about trucks but this was amazing. I love this thing. Great work fellas!
Awesome I have one I built just like that! Love the old ford super cabs!
03-04 Cummins are my favorite. Common Rail injection, zero emissions, and a very simple turbo.
Had the same exact truck same color I lived on farm 12 years with farmers daughter it was half ton he had 3/4 ton suspension under it 4wd I re did truck had 351 modified in it I ended up painting it all white blacked out windows put 331/2s on it big Ford decal in rear window id drag pickups on job sit wanting to hook em up 4wd was best I ever had in a truck 100% loved that pickup 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys. Love that channel
That cooking set up is very dope.👊🏾💯
I love the old truck. So cool
When tony went to stop the truck on the trailer my soul left my body.
Nice ride buddy thank you.
Mad Roll Smokey vibes! Love it!!!!
This thing drives a TON better than Roll Smokey but that was a killer truck. You could feel the frame twist when the turbo spooled up.
Man! With that new wider stance she looks great! She’s a keeper no doubt
I wish I could like this twice! That is a badass rig! Looks great
Thanks! It's one sweet ride.
I always loved those old SuperCabs. That thing looks rough and tough. Cool truck.
Such a cool truck, and once again spinning spanners with a ya mates and having a good time. Love the content.
Keep it raw and real Tony
Great episode!! Love the old truck!
Best episode yet.
Love the old "Rust-Oleum and tire shine" wheel and tire update.
Totally following the formula make good content and people will watch. Can't wait for more. Congrats Tony for always another awesome show
Ford Man? Yes!!! Extended Cab? 🤔🤔Definitely growing on me! Used to have a ‘77 F-250 Camper Special! Blue and white! Miss that truck!😢😢 Beautiful truck! Excellent shape! Not a big fan of the diesel swap though! White rims were a very nice touch! Overall, killer truck! Nice job!👍
Awesome content ! My Dad had a '79 F250 Camper special super cab with a factory 460. Great stuff ! Thanks
Thanks! Appreciate it! They are super cool trucks, just so much presence.
Love it. Awesome job Tony 🍻👍
Thank you! Cheers!
"Concours correct." Absolutely! Concours de Lemons, but whatever. I love this thing!
Extend frame and rear diff 3 feet, add flatbed and headache rack. Chrome push bumper up front. A friend I had built one long ago ike this and it looked and worked killer!
What a beast! Good job 👍
Love the shop dog🥰
Today’s truck’s just don’t have the macho looks that these did. Perfect blend of old n new.
Awesome stuff, love it
Cool trucks and shop dogs. Can't go wrong.
Tony making a strong "cheech" style. Keep rocking guys. Loving the channel.
I agree on the independent RUclips channels nothing but the best
this is like my dream truck. Growing up my grandfather had a 72 f-250 hi-boy that he and my uncle swapped a perkins diesel boat motor into. IIRC it had a manual trans, t-case, and an over under regular box so the thing had like umpteen gears. non turbo so it didn't go anywhere fast but man it was cool. I remember driving somewhere and smelling brakes only to realize the parking brake was still on. After my grandfather passed my dad sold the truck. I actually found it a few years later on craigslist but the seller stated "previous owner ruined it by putting a perkins in. we corrected that and it's got a 460 now. I wish i was old enough to drive before it got sold, maybe I could have gotten it.
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Cool old truck, NICE LUNCH, happy dog. Tony you're videos are like New York's Hottest Club: they have EVERYTHING
Your shop food game is mint!👌
Truck stuff. More please!!
Love the drag, drift, truck, cooking, pizza content. Can't wait for the building my new shop content hahahah
Keep it up Angelo your doing great!!!
