Thank you Derek Reeves. I am looking forward to restoring another. Would love to find a 62 short bed unibody. Good luck on your 64 and 66 projects. Sounds awesome. Thanks for watching.
Hello Ethan Clark. Thanks for the kind words. If I remember correctly, I believe I used Coys rims 18'x8" up front with 4.6" backspacing and 225/45/18 tires. 20"x10" with 4" backspacing and 275/40/20 tires in the rear . I also believe I added 2" wheel spacers with the explorer rear axle. Hope that helps.
Hello Blake Mashburn. I don't have a exact number. But if I had to guess. I would say 10-12k and that was with me doing all the work myself. Hope this helps. Good luck on your project and thanks for watching
@Dan Weiss roughly $8-10 grand. That was me doing all of it by myself( meaning no labor cost) except for spraying the paint. Are you starting a restoration project?
@Dan Weiss that question you are going to have to answer for yourself. The nicer the starting point the less that has to be done. So it depends on what you want to do. 👍🏻
Una pregunta ojala me puedas contestar acabo de comprar una camioneta asi de este modelo me podrias decir sonde trae el num de serie y el numero de chasis
This is a truck very close to my heart. I had Custom cab in high school in the early 80s. ....sure wish I could find another one!!
That is one of coolest things about the older cars and trucks. So many people have great memories of them.
I drove one in highschool too from 2010-14 and I miss it so much
Nice truck!! I’m building a 64 and a 66 both short beds. This gives me some inspiration.

Beautiful truck, love the color combo. My 74 f100 is robin egg blue on the bottom and white on top.

Thanks a lot @tim smith
Nice job!
Thank you Shaun Butterfield
Excellent job. How did you deal with pitted rust such as on the tailgate?
Thank you Alejandro Cardona. Everything was taken down to bare metal. All rusted sections replaced and then sprayed with epoxy primer.
Sweet
@Tim Smith thanks
@@midlifecustoms your welcome sir, that is by far one of the nicest I've seen
Nice build my friend!!
A lot of work,but well worth it..
You wouldn’t know the specs on the wheel offset and tires?
Love the stance...

Thanks for the info!
I will definitely research...
Just trying to see what fits with the crown Vic swap...👍🏻
how much did you drop the front and rear? Your truck looks awesome!
Thanks J K. I believe the front clip drops it about 4-6" and the axle flip gets about the same.
How much in all did it cost you? I am just thinking about doing my own but would like to hear your budget. And also beautiful job!! Thank you

1965 Ford 460F100 Lincoln automatic . Twin I beam
I have a 65 also . My grille is black from previous owner . Does the grill come off ? I’d like to paint mine white too ..
@Cdawg1871980 Yes the grille does come off. You just have to remove all the bolts,headlight doors and headlights. Good luck on your 65.
Trying to do this with one I have, if I dedicated a month of 10 hours a day with 2 helpers do u think we can get it done in that time frame?
@Lockness Media I have no idea lol. I do know you would be a lot closer to being done. Best of luck on your project
@@midlifecustoms thanks, how long did it take you just for a reference point?
@Lockness Media it took me just about two years to complete
4:31, where can I get that...
Speedway Motors
@@midlifecustoms
Is the manufacturer "Hagan"
@Joe Schlotthauer that is correct "Hagan Street Rods" I believe it is the 90RF 90 degree flat round.
@@midlifecustoms
Thanks, great channel, subscribed the other day...
@Joe Schlotthauer thanks for the support
What did you do for rear end and suspension? Looks like it’s a Crown Vic front?
@Turbos N’ Backroads it has a 8.8 Explorer rear on original suspension in back and the Crown Vic clip up front
Looks great! How did spacing match up with front an rear did you have to get wheels with different backspacing to match fronts width?
Thank you. I used spacers in the rear to get it close. I believe all the build info is in the description. If you are interested.
What color white did you do on the top of the truck and bumpers?
@Krish6462 The white is a older factory Fiat color. I can't recall the actual name or code though.
Cool. Thanks for the reply.
I'll buy it
Nice , I'm building a 66 ford pickup what fuel tank did you use to fit between rails?
@George Spangler I used a fuel tank from a 69 Mustang. Restoring these older Fords is awesome. Good luck on your 66 build.
What brand wheels did you use?What size and back spacing?
@Roger Pruitt Coys wheels 18x8" in front and 20x10" more info in the description
Rough estimate on how much the whole project costed you?
@Dan Weiss roughly $8-10 grand. That was me doing all of it by myself( meaning no labor cost) except for spraying the paint. Are you starting a restoration project?
@@midlifecustoms thanks! I would really like to start a project. How much should I spend on the actual truck?
@Dan Weiss that question you are going to have to answer for yourself. The nicer the starting point the less that has to be done. So it depends on what you want to do. 👍🏻
where do u get the gas tank from
Hello fatf100460. It is a fuel tank out of a 69 Mustang.
Una pregunta ojala me puedas contestar acabo de comprar una camioneta asi de este modelo me podrias decir sonde trae el num de serie y el numero de chasis
@Vicky Osnaya el numero de serie debe estar en una placa en el interior de la puerta
The hood emblem throws me off, should swap the the V emblem instead of the 6 cyl one
Thanks for watching
It was going so good until those Rims...
