What I love most about watching Rich is the "can do" attitude. Nothing seems to faze you. I think so many people would say "nah, this isn't going to fit, too much work" etc. but you just shrug your shoulders and get on with it. Seriously impressive attitude, and what sets apart tinkerers from proper problem solvers and truly great engineers. "If you ain't filthy, you ain't rich" is only half the motto. Inspirational, Rich. Chapeau!
If you ever get into the electronic 466, 530, or 570, let us know! We've been tuning a lot of those lately with really good results. And we're with you on the transmission. We had a customer with a 466 and a 9-speed and it was absolutely awesome.
Coming from a Class A guy in the USA you will regret supers in the rear the first time you get a flat plus duals are way better looking in my opinion. Duals ride better, handle better, wider track width for stability. Many reason for them, especially on a straight truck. Can always run low pro 22.5 on the front to get wheel well clearance 🤷♂️ but then wides do look great up front!!!
air to air is possible without any modifications. use one of the international half and half radiator / air charge cooler. that would solve the clearance issue. i buy trucks for parts. cheapest way to get all the parts i need reasonably.
Be blessed Joas, when I broke my heels, I fell from 39 feet straight down to my driveway. I crawled on my hands and knees inside, and later to the car for my wife to drive me to the hospital. Once at the hospital, I was told I would never walk again without assistance. I refused to give up, so stay strong Joas, you can overcome this, and with time, faith, and perseverance, you can walk again
I’ve been a fan of this channel for a long while but this is sooo useful. I lucked out on a clean 1967 Ford N700 fire truck that I bought 2 years ago and plan to convert just like this. I can’t tell you how useful this is.
Could mounting fuel tank on drivers' side..save you from having to go around and fill tank on passenger side !!!! Cool Content..keep them Coming..Here We Go.. All the Best from Sherbrooke Quebec
I know "clear coat over rusty patina" is the order of the day but I'd really love to see a deep burgundy or emerald green factory-fresh finish on the Fargo. I think she deserves it.
Working for Mack, old models had dog houses, but they had fiberglass hoods. You can be glad they swing. And I don't remember that many ratchet straps ever being used. I had to use 3 come-a-longs once to get a radiator out of a D9. I do hope you know to put your ground as close to the weld as possible, it can damage the alternator diodes. I use to build glider kits for old trucks, brings back memories of fabrication. Lol
Look for a center section for the rear end with a taller gear. Im running a 3.07 gear in a f800 with a 6spd and no overdrive. I put a governor spring set in the pump and itll run 100 if I push it. If that motor has a p-pump Cummins gov springs should fit for some more rpm. Cool project
That sucker looks RAD just at this stage. I have a 91 Int'l school bus with a DTA-360 and AT545 tranny. Need to do a similar swap onto my bus frame. Mebe swap in a DT466, but the 5.9 runs real sweet. Gonna keep watching this one to completion
Rich I think you do a better job than most at finishing projects. You just do more than one at a time so it feels like you’re not workin on everything, but really you are. The only project that it ever felt like you kinda abandoned for a long time was the C-10, but you did end up finishing it. I don’t think you’re ADHD or don’t finish what you start, I think you just like doing different things and don’t wanna do the same stuff all the time. You’ve been doin a lotta big truck stuff lately which is different, and not something I’d normally watch, but I’ve been enjoying it. I know you’ve done a lot and many people have done a lot of em now, but I’d actually like to watch you do a good ol Cummins swap again sometime soon. Maybe your old Chevy could be revived
Those old DT466s sound good actually. My first and previous job had em. My first job had a 90s one I’m gonna guess it’s definitely 90s, manual transmission everyone said it sucked ass to drive cause the gears are so close to each other. You could float gears in it too. I guess international transmission it was a international gear shifter. It sounded awesome I remember hear the turbo and all it was loud. I think it had a muffler. Underneath was the exhaust blew so much blue smoke it’s hilarious damn thing smelled too. Talk about a old truck. Loved that idle too. Wish it had a engine brake I don’t think it did. I didn’t mind it actually enjoyed it. You just gotta know what your doing. Hell I can shift 2 shifter transmissions I got a Eaton Roadranger 2 stick in my 8 model W9. That ole national you could hear that air brakes all the way on the other side of the yard lol. It had crazy rust. Definitely retired now.
@DEBOSSGARAGE my problem is getting to my buddy's shop on weekends to work on it. We are actually local to you so hearing where you gets parts and tools really helps out
Really great job quality workmanship its going to look great when finished I'm amazed what you guys can do in Canada and America we could never get away with that in the UK
I'm ASD-2 and that's kinda what I do! Part why through something I'll change subject. I can be talking about copying something and end with something about say a 350 Chev engine.
I would have liked to see a new 440 in that original chassis, but it's still a real cool build. I'm working on a 62 F600 ramp project myself, but of course most of the work is mechanical restoration.
I hope Milwaukee sends you the new Gen 3 2967 High torque Impact Wrench to try out. It's great and all see them using on a test bench seeing it used in the real world is much better 😄, especially on rusty fasteners.
Throw on one of those offroad single wide tires on like the ones they use for power line trucks here in the states for the swampy areas may not be the best for on road but they drive them all the time😂

Pressure of angry youtube comments works well.
You're going to need a Milwaukee battery under the seat to run the hydroboost
😂😂😂⚡⚡👍👌🤔🛠️🔧🔩
Crazy idea, instead of cutting the chassis, put and old skool style sleeper box behind the cab for those long trips.
Oh man, literally laughed outloud at the "look at that squirrel" adhd comment! Too funny!
How is it possible that this channel is not beyond million sub's? It's so hard to find channel's like this, one of my favorites.
Better start my Sunday chores now, once this video drops I’m hitting the couch!
Sunday is a day of rest!😂
Props to Rich for making it happen being a 1 man show. It ain’t easy
I vote for the super single. Cool project yet again
Thanks!
Super single on the front looks great.
@@waitemc Agreed, now a few inches higher so it can steer.
This is a really cool project! love the looks of the old Fargo. I think the dayton style wheels fit the truck a lot better than the newer style.
Big fan of the look of Dayton wheels
If you ever get into the electronic 466, 530, or 570, let us know! We've been tuning a lot of those lately with really good results. And we're with you on the transmission. We had a customer with a 466 and a 9-speed and it was absolutely awesome.
Loving the transfer to save the Fargo coolness especially with some fatty wheels
Most relatable intro ever...I'm surprised I was able to write this comment before getting distrac....

By far one of my favorite channels!
Skills set is always impressive!
Definitely super singles on the front and duals on the back.
Singles on the back make it look like a bro truck pick-up. Duals means it's a real truck.
Brake booster is a hypower by Delco. They're awesome. I adapted one to a big forklift years back.
We've got two of those Fargo cabs, love them! Sweet build Rich!
The ADHD intro “hey look at that squirrel” hahahaha 💀
air to air is possible without any modifications. use one of the international half and half radiator / air charge cooler. that would solve the clearance issue. i buy trucks for parts. cheapest way to get all the parts i need reasonably.
As orgasmic as the F Tree Kitty swap was to watch this Fargo swap will probably be the Cat's Meow.
Thanks for sharing Your efforts Rich.
Best Wishes.
Well done on redemption on getting the front bumper back
Be blessed Joas, when I broke my heels, I fell from 39 feet straight down to my driveway. I crawled on my hands and knees inside, and later to the car for my wife to drive me to the hospital.

I heard you say "Congruent" now I'm impressed!
Love watching these old trucks being saved and repurposed!
Coming together really nicely Rich.👍
This is a series I didn’t know we needed, but this is a series we needed
I’ve been a fan of this channel for a long while but this is sooo useful. I lucked out on a clean 1967 Ford N700 fire truck that I bought 2 years ago and plan to convert just like this. I can’t tell you how useful this is.
This is going to look and run absolutely fantastic.
Gee Rich this truck now looks like an early Mack I reckon. Great project my friend!
“Hey look at that squirrel!” That is some funny sh*t!
Could mounting fuel tank on drivers' side..save you from having to go around and fill tank on passenger side !!!! Cool Content..keep them Coming..Here We Go..
All the Best from Sherbrooke Quebec
I know "clear coat over rusty patina" is the order of the day but I'd really love to see a deep burgundy or emerald green factory-fresh finish on the Fargo. I think she deserves it.
I love the original look and patina, but would also love to see some of those crusty corners repaired so that cab lasts a long time.
Good job! Ive got a similar project starting soon with a 62 Dodge D400. You give us tinkeres inspiration.
It looks amazing right now can’t wait to see the finished product.
Working for Mack, old models had dog houses, but they had fiberglass hoods. You can be glad they swing. And I don't remember that many ratchet straps ever being used.

I use to build glider kits for old trucks, brings back memories of fabrication. Lol
Impressive just how well that fit over that Dt466, I figured you would have a fit getting it to fit over it.
can always do air to water on the charge cooler, nice compact box under the hood and stash the radiator and fan somewhere on the acre worth of frame
Got plenty of frame for that
For an automatic trans PTO, instead of shutting off the engine, I engage/disengage the PTO on while stopped and in reverse.
Wow... You have definitely figured it out, brother.
3:00 that was a sick bumper delivery.
Very hard working bloke great knowledge and fun cheers to you and family from NEW ZEALAND
Lowkey was hoping to see the box of the F3Kitty get ripped off by the electro magnet. I don't know why, thats my favorite project you've done.
Look for a center section for the rear end with a taller gear. Im running a 3.07 gear in a f800 with a 6spd and no overdrive. I put a governor spring set in the pump and itll run 100 if I push it. If that motor has a p-pump Cummins gov springs should fit for some more rpm. Cool project
This is friggen cool.
I like the idea with super singles.
Nice touch with the 55 Apache in the background.
That sucker looks RAD just at this stage. I have a 91 Int'l school bus with a DTA-360 and AT545 tranny. Need to do a similar swap onto my bus frame. Mebe swap in a DT466, but the 5.9 runs real sweet. Gonna keep watching this one to completion
Loving this build!!
Awesome, I’ve been eyeing up a similar Fargo locally myself
Definitely KOOL Rich Coming along nicely
So glad to see the OG Timewaster 10,000 drivetrain get scrapped after having fought you for so many knuckle skinning hours.
❤️ I wanted to do this with a c60… probably still will. Definitely do the super singles on it.
Ur Fargo Lcf truck is coming along great. the cab and front end looks cool..

What you are is what you have been. What you will be is what you do now.
That looks like cab belongs on that frame, great job Rich.
My favorite project to date! Keep it up Rich! One of my top 3 favorite Canadians! LOL
Man it allready looks so sick!!!
I love your comedy Rich!
Great videos!
I love the ventilated frame
The Audi and the 58 are gonna look good on Fargo’s back
This is a pretty cool chassis swap
I just finished swapping a 47 international KB8 cab on a 96 Dodge 3500 chassis. Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Back in 95 I drove one for dad's moving services while I was in high school.
I miss my old W200 crew cab ex-USAF that I swapped a p-pumped 24V into, but a guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Thanks for a very informative video.
Well done. I have learnt a bit about breaks
Those old DT466s sound good actually.
My first and previous job had em.
My first job had a 90s one I’m gonna guess it’s definitely 90s, manual transmission everyone said it sucked ass to drive cause the gears are so close to each other. You could float gears in it too. I guess international transmission it was a international gear shifter. It sounded awesome I remember hear the turbo and all it was loud. I think it had a muffler.

That ole national you could hear that air brakes all the way on the other side of the yard lol. It had crazy rust. Definitely retired now.
Really hope you bring this to moparfest next August in New Hamburg!!
This should be some great motivation for my f600cab/l7000 project. Wish I could make progress as fast as you do.
The right tools, and workspace is crucial
@DEBOSSGARAGE my problem is getting to my buddy's shop on weekends to work on it. We are actually local to you so hearing where you gets parts and tools really helps out
@@Mtberforlife3even just learning where rich gets his parts really helps a guy maintain a aging fleet too
Great job sir, thank you so much for all your videos
Really great job quality workmanship its going to look great when finished I'm amazed what you guys can do in Canada and America we could never get away with that in the UK
That looks amaxing Rich! Cant waut for the next video.
A bit of info you might find useful. On the international school bus the rad is half rad half air to air.
@DEBOSSGARAGE Thought about sleepers?! One of those old Mercury sleepers sitting on the back of that cab would be pretty sweet!
Nice work, the mock up looks good.
I'm ASD-2 and that's kinda what I do! Part why through something I'll change subject. I can be talking about copying something and end with something about say a 350 Chev engine.
I will be swapping my twin steer with Dayton lugs and floats to budds at some point so I'll be watching for your video on it.
I would have liked to see a new 440 in that original chassis, but it's still a real cool build. I'm working on a 62 F600 ramp project myself, but of course most of the work is mechanical restoration.
Gas engines don't belong in trucks, ever.
Some good progress
My two favorite builders in one place. Why am I not in Ontario right now.....
This is going to be an amazing roll back. You are the Boss!!!!
Your going to go with Budd rims so use 10-22.5 tires and gain some clearance that way.
I hope Milwaukee sends you the new Gen 3 2967 High torque Impact Wrench to try out. It's great and all see them using on a test bench seeing it used in the real world is much better 😄, especially on rusty fasteners.
Mack had an air to water👍
That is starting to look good.
Good stuff. Happy Motoring.
You need to find the fender style air cleaner the Big diesel Dodges used.
Check length between front of leaf spring to center pin you ma be able to move front axle forward by swapping leaf springs around
Cool! Ill keep watching this one.
Oh man, that intro had me rolling! Thanks for that xD
You are a magician man love it
Your big saw beats the hell out of my sawzall…😊
Going to be a cool rig! 👌👌
Ambitious project !
Is there no historic value in the original motor ?
Didn't catch what it was is all !
Keep up the good work !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely prefer the old Daytons for the front. Fit better, fit the look of the cab better.
You probably should have installed the front axle in to mock up the Cab and Hood l hope you don't run into any clearance problems.
Throw on one of those offroad single wide tires on like the ones they use for power line trucks here in the states for the swampy areas may not be the best for on road but they drive them all the time😂
Dual 8’ for the rears
You should put a double over axillary box in it you would have extra low a more road gears
It’s always cool to slap old cabs on newish frames.
