    I built my Cummins Bronco in 2009. I bought it for $700 as a rolling chassis no trans or engine, but NP205 t-case was included. Had brand new sky jacker 6" lift suspension too, I sold the detroit locker from it for $700(the locker made it handle weird on the road) so I basically got the truck for free. Then I found a 91 W250 with a Cummins for $1300. I pulled the motor out, and sold the rest of the truck for $1500. So I got the Cummins for free, plus I made $200 on that. I spent $1700 on a Dynamic Racing C6 for it, and $1500 for the cnc machined transmission adapter plate and race flexplate from destroked. After tires, and all the odds and ends, I ended up with a total investment of $5500 for the whole build. I maxed out the fuel pump and built a hybrid turbo for it, added a 7.3 intercooler too. It averages 22-27 mpg and is a lot quicker than it looks. lol

    Honestly cost a lot less than I expected. I was expecting double at least. $48k for basically a brand new OBS with a Cat 3126? Shoot, if Ford were to make a comparable truck today, it’d be well over $80k. Maybe closer to 100.
    All in all, it’s been my favorite series on your channel, aside from the K100. I love your meticulous nature, and your want to make everything as “factory” as you can. There’s something to be said about that. Great job on the project Rich. I know you’re proud of it, and I am too. Awesome truck.

    You guys did go way above and beyond on this truck. Which the cost reflects to an extent. That being said it is literally a brand new 100% custom truck that you made exactly how you want. You won't have to pull it all apart in a year to fix the engine or transmission. Hilariously even if you count your labor some new trucks can cost 120k. Sweet truck!

    This was not a simple engine swap.
    It's more like a dream truck build with no expense spared.

      @@DEBOSSGARAGE Thanks for the heart Mr. DeBoss
      Kinda funny.
      My two favorite RUclips build sagas both were completed within a couple months of each other.
      Your most beautiful
      CatFord, and the Volvogini.
      It's a 70 something Volvo 245 station wagon with a V10 out of Huracan.
      He just got it going, and raced in Sweden's sick week.
      The amount of knowledge, talent, and work required for both these builds is immeasurable.
      Your an absoult master of trades.

    Of all the builds I have watched and even participated in or even done myself this particular one makes the most sense to me and is probably the most desirable.
    It is the sort of thing you would build and be driving around 30 years later still doing what it was made to do.
    The perfect long term , long distance 4 ton tow rig.
    I would love to take it through some of the washboard roads in the Aussie outback as it would be great at that.

    I had the 5.4 triton 2006 f150 king ranch. LOVED the interrior, but i was threadlocking the sparks and retightening almost daily when i had the truck 2016-2018. My grandparents had it before me and used it once a month and it was at high 70k miles when it finally blew up, almost taking me off the interstate at speed. Now i have a 1993 f350 with a 7.3 idi and 4 speed auto. Saving for the 5 speed manual swap

    My 3126 I got fully dressed for around 800. I found an allison 3060 for 1200. I got a clean frame for 200 sold the beat up bead for that lol. I got f550 axles for 1000 because I hate the twin i-beam suspension. Got a cab and front clip for 500. Got a fender and seats for another 500. Got a 40 or 50 gallon fuel tank for free. Now I'm trying to find a good deal on a rebuild kit and head for the engine. Cat wants over 5k for the platinum or gold kit (can't remember which one) but I'm not trying to pay that

    It's pretty incredible anybody sold you a mint condition OBS CCLB F350 4x4 for only $4000. Even in 2018 prices that could've been a $10,000 truck easy. More like $25,000 today.

    Hello wow I am so impressed at how much hard work you put into this truck. Your creativity was awesome the way you put together the truck how you updated the interior and all the well done customizations was awesome congrats. Your video popped up on my RUclips feed so I watched it since I'm mostly a diagnostic and electrical auto mechanic, I mostly work on bmw's at our shop. I watched the whole video to the end and subscribed and now here I am typing a message. I drive a hand me down 05 Nissan Xterra but I have at home a 06 Ford F250 with the Power Stroke V8 6.0L when I got it was smoking constantly with hopes of Fixing it up nice, unfortunately after taking a lot of the engine tip end apart to get the injectors redone and replace the engine harness a bunch of life issues happened and basically my truck has sat broken down for about 3 years already and also I'm not a diesel mechanic so I kinda overwhelmed myself. I wish I knew a local truck shop, but I don't know of any. Respect From Margate, South Florida..
