I had talked to you about my 53 Ford F100 I built with my dad. We did the 01 to 10 Crown Vic swap. It went FANTASTIC and extremely smooth. It's mind blowing how easy it rolls under, drill a few holes and weld the rest in. AND ITS CHEAP!!! We gave $150 for an interceptor front end out of our junk yeard. I'd do it again if given the chance. If you do the CV swap you can push the front end forward an inch to center the wheels in the front wheel well. Plus it comes with the sway bar. And Monroe Air Max has a direc🎉t bolt in air shock from 53 to about 85 give or take rear air shock. I love them. Hope this helps and if you need more info lmk.
As a ford guy , I appreciate you taken the time and your pocket book to save this old girl!!! I know your a Chevy guy but once you get this truck and motor dialed in , it well give you lots of miles!!! Great video !!! Thanks!!
I still think with all the interruptions and wrong things sent or bad things sent, your content is still top notch! You do show the commonsense approach to getting these cars running without a million-dollar budget! Keep up the god work, and I will be watching your channel! You do show what and ift things do happen in everyday life! 👍👍👍
It's 6:30am Boxing Day and I just watched a man in the States rejuvenating an old truck. Waht a fantastic, interesting video. Thanks for the entertainment you supplied to me Chad, here's wishing you a merry Christmas and I hope bought you a spiffing new torque converter. God bless America
It’s looking good Chad, you’re doing a great job. I know you’re not, but don’t worry about those with negative comments , they aren’t doing this and they are paying for it. I can smell those burn outs! Keep up the great work. God bless you, I hope you had a Merry Christmas. See you soon
Hi Chad. Nice wheels. About half way through the video you can see the new wheels on the right side so a dead give away. So got to see them before you showed them later in the video
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you for sharing. In my opinion if it is a young company that does the converters give them a chance to make it right , but if they have been around for a bit don’t be afraid to call them out for being lax it their quality control.
Chad, dont listen to the know it all's. They'd happily spend all your money for you, then still criticize the build. i like what you're doing, no matter what you're working on. keep up the good work
Hey hey y'all and Merry Christmas! I pray that everyone has had a wonderful holiday with your families and your day was spectacular! Spent my day flying solo aside from my 2 fur babies. Until next week... take care & God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Chad I hate you had a problem with the converters! I’ve ran them for years now, but I did get mine a long time ago. Been 18 years and still counting. But this day that is my luck on anything I do now! As you say MLS yup I have it more now all the time. Great job
Hey Mr Chad. It seems like the old Ford is one problem after the next, but you seem to just keep working through them, I'm sure all your hard work will pay off. Oh and by the way, I Love those Classic Baby Moon Wheels. Those wheels make any old ride look good. Enjoyed the video!
Merry Christmas to Chad the rims and tires look good on the f100 hope you found your other cat. the heck with the negative Nancy's keep up the great work and videos 😊
On this CHRISTMAS DAY As we celebrate the birth of our lord and savior Jesus christ, we look forward to seeing 👀 the entertaining finish to the best-looking FORD built tough truck in TENNESSEE. OH YEAH@!!. Just a little MLS it wouldn't be right without it bless you sir and God bless God speed may he watch over you and keep you safe AMEN!!...--.
Merry Christmas Chad I'm sorry you had such MLS with the torque converter but you saved the rest of us from dealing with that company and we appreciate it I was waiting to see how good it worked b4 I ordered a couple for builds I'm currently working on you saved me the headache ty sir
I have the polished aluminum version of those valve covers. The damn baffles come with a piece of thin plastic on each side of the baffle that will shrivel up once the engine gets hot if you didn't pull it off before installing. Found that out the hard way once I looked in when filling with oil after it ran for a while.
Hey I just want to say thank you I’ve had the flu since Sunday and I’ve rewatched a bunch of your old videos you mad a shitty Christmas a entertaining one Merry Christmas my man keep the good content coming. Also good point about how many builds you’ve done and the quality of parts you buy let the people say what they want there watching your videos
I dig the patina, there’s just something about that surface rust on an old truck that looks so good, I live in the rust belt so we usually have rust holes on the undercarriage and not much patina
One thing to look for on these early Ford transmissions is the drain plug in the converter has to line up with the corresponding hole in the flex plate
Merry Christmas
