It would’ve been nice to hear the truck with the cam and exhaust but oh well.
TomJāck Gentry thats what i was waiting for :/
Me too
Yup waited to hear the truck to
Just search up foxbody with e303 cam. Exact same motor and those cams are common
Gage Woods that doesn't change the fact that we didn't get to hear a truck we waited 10 minutes to hear
Did a little research on the inner webs about Levi.... he’s 18, and is a cancer survivor.
TRUCK OCD yes, all Make-A-Wish kids have suffered from life-threatening diseases, whether it is cancer or now. I had cancer when I was 14, and had a Make-A-Wish, I chose mine to be an extensive trip throughout Alaskas wilderness.
Timothy Meyer nice...love the wilderness
Until recently Make-A-Wish wouldn't fund vehicles.
el cochi i understand where you're coming from but don't judge kids who are in a fight for their lives.... if they want video games just give them video games lifes already unfair enough for them
I love this country. Where else are there organizations that will do things like this?? Awesome stuff.
"You can tell the boys and I have been taking apart this engine" *has clean hands*
The dudes hands are literally clean the entire video I think he's just pretending to work when the cameras on
I just realized that 😂
The amazing thing about gloves😉
He could have washed them
latex, respect your hands.
Much respect for a young man who can drive a 5-speed! The '92-'96 body style is my all-time personal favorite.
95 5.0 5 speed regular cab as old school as I can get lol
"I know you've been dying to see this thing" .......
Propane and propane accessories oh...
Ah, uhhh.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lolol
I shouldn't have laughed
I loved the sound of the truck
Sequoyah Lomax sounds great right?
Same dude. Cammed n unslammed
Ikr
it’s like unicorns having sex!!
He doesn't even start it
Braydon Zeeman really
“Almost at 200k miles almost beyond repair” bruh I’ve never even owned a truck under 200k🤦🏼♂️
My dad has a 1995 f150 almost at 300k and it runs perfectly
I have a 7.3 powerstroke and she has 382k runs like new
@@stankmeme5909 Lol same here. 01 with forged con rods. 315k miles. Abused 6 owner work truck but she purrs. Lmao
Samuel Yi can’t kill em
LOL, same here buddy. That's funny 😂. All mine are high mileage, but DEBT FREE!!
As a cancer survivor and a past Make-A-Wish kid myself I think this was cool y'all did this.
He was dying to see it 😂 why did he say that?!
yo we should buy it from the family when he dies
@@bighossfishing4718 that's fucked😂😂
@@bighossfishing4718 he survived
@@chadmoore8834 damn...
@@bighossfishing4718 he survived
What an awesome thing to do for the young man, congrats.
I use to own this Truck it was a nice truck back in the day. Miss it now and then. Love the new paint job on this thing! Looks pretty dern good. His Smile says it all guys, His smile says it all.
Thats probably the best sounding F-150 ive ever heard 🙄
Should have undercoated the thing so it doesn’t rust out any more than it already is
Clay Sensiba I’m saying, they had already took the body apart too so it’s not like it would’ve been a lot of extra work.
Also should have painted it last
Sandblast the whole thing then paint the frame build it then paint the body
They mentioned that they had a very limited timeline, maybe that's why they didn't undercoat the whole thing
Clay Sensiba lol brand new 2nd gas tank but we for got to clean the straps up
Wish you guys would do more videos with the 92-96 F150s ect. Damn good video
Marcus Andre Only guy other than me on TH-cam doing anything with these trucks is Upnorthoutdoors.
Bearbait01 What about 928 OBS?
Yes bro 93 obs sb needs some this kind of loving
When I saw the Alpine headdeck and JL speakers I knew these guys were legit.
lol that was me when i saw the cam!
Sundown, CT audio and dc Audio are way better than any alpine or jl stuff but grant it not everyone can spend 1500 dollars on one 12 inch sub.
"ok so we're installing a brand new dual head unit with some pyle speakers and a lightning audio subwoofer powered by a boss armor 6000w amp" hehe could you imagine the cringe?
Kale Gorskey all of those brands you mentioned are spl oriented, they are not good for sq
Electronics For Fun I’m deaddddd hahahahah
Hey we’re gonna paint this thing and then rip the engine out LOL
Yeah no shit. I thought of that too. WTF? Then reupholster the seats but leave the bottom parts gray?
Looks like it could use a touch up on some of the under coating
That’s honestly one of the best looking trucks I’ve ever seen
I’ve been lugging around my 94 f150 for 2 years now, been my truck since I’ve got my license and man i wish it could get a make over like this one. Congratulations Levi i hope you like that truck as much as mine.
It's nice to see this done for a young man that appreciates it. So many old vehicles get taken to a scrap yard or get parked for years on end never to be used again. This generation of F-150's were pretty cool, the body style, the interior layout with the captain's chairs is sweet. Be glad you guys stuck with the manual locking hubs, the automatics in this generation were kind of problematic. Nice to see the truck has a 5 speed manual in it, I learned how to drive manual on an old farm truck my grandfather had when I was just old enough to drive.
Love these types of builds.
I don’t normally comment on videos but man this truck is right you did a great job and I appreciate the good work you guys did for this young man
I’m 100% a Chevy guy but this thing is badass
Good job, engine really sounded nice at the end.....
Sweet didn't know a 96 could look so good. Now yall come get my 99 f150
Anarmedsocietyjw mine too lol
Sorry those ugly ass trucks can't be saved ive seen an attempt and no bueno
Yeah, worst gen for ford trucks by far
OffroadJAX dang guess I'll sell it
OffroadJAX that straight 6 was beast tho...
1:33 - Buddy is painting with a coverall jacket but has on shorts, haha.
Love the build. thats a combo fav for me(5.0, manual, crew cab, 90's cab), but one simple thing i saw was well over looked was some heat wrapped wires for the spark plugs. Great build!
I have that exact lift kit on my 94 Bronco 5.8. LOVE the drive and ride, highly recommend this Rough Country 4" kit. *BE SURE TO GET EXTENDED STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINES FOR THE FRONT. Makes a HUGE difference in the brake feel and you are already in there.
I've watched this video like 10 times, and it never disappoints. Great build
That truck is beautiful!!!! I love it!! Hopefully he takes care of it forever and never sells!!
Kid is a genius for asking Make A wish to do this
Every thing levi said is exactly what I would say if I got that truck
Looks amazing with good taste! I'll think about doing this instead next time I'm thinking of dropping $40-$50k on a brand new truck.
Hummmmm...Dam thats a good Idea. 20k would have my old bronco like new. Good enough to be a daily driver. Hummm vs 30k to 45k for a new truck
I want to hear it!
Hey guys, I’ve got the same truck and it’s in rough shape. Dad passed it down but still loves it like it’s his baby, because it was his first truck. I’d like to experience a build but don’t have any of the tools to do and the experience. This truck means a lot to us, and I’d like to keep it in our family for a long time.
If I was older when I got my make a wish I definitely would have got something like this done
This truck is going to be in Pennsylvania why didn't they treat the frame and underneath as well. Saw a decent amount of rust under there! Good way to waste all that time and money if it's just gunna rot out again quickly. Like they put in a new fuel tank but left the rusty ass mounts on it. All they did was polish a turd. The truck is nice but underneath he is going to have a lot of issues down the road.
Jesse Chavez Why hate on all the hard work? So.... Why don't you send a check to him to do it "right"?
Dawn Bartos well if your going to do something. Do it right. Common sense bud
Kyle Godfrey glad someone has common sense and can see that they did the kid a disservice and wasted money by doing skimpy cover-up work to make the truck look nice but really didn't fix anything that will keep the truck alive in the future of northern truck life.
You should see my 99 1500. Live in Minnesota and my underneath. Rusty as shit.
Cutthroat Fishing Yeah I know I'm down in Texas and we get people from up north that want us to work on Thier cars and we cant even lift them up to do work on them because they would just crumble apart. And I lived in Shafer Minnesota for two years and you would see two year old vehicles rusted out :/
You guys hit it out the park with this one, WOW!!!
Such a beautiful truck I like the modern touches to it
That's awesome! I hope Levi's still going strong! Beautiful truck.
I was more excited by this build than the kid lol
You guys are like pimp my ride the way it should of been done!❤️🤙🏽
That's a beautiful truck! Great job guys! Wake a wish is awesome!
Gorgeous truck. I still love that generation of F15O. It screams tough and useful.
I've got a 96 f150 5.0l with 253k and it runs fine.
Great job guys! I was really looking forward to hearing how it sounded!! What a let down for every red blooded American guy!!
I think you should have the video edited to include starting that baby up!
Beautiful truck. Period. Literally no complaints and Levi asked for everything I would’ve👍
I love watching this, wish America could come together like this. Good stuff!!!
The kid has good taste in trucks
Great Build for a great Organization
It actually was already pretty good looking to begin with. That thing looks beastly now.
I have a 95 7.3 and I really wanted to drop some racks into it. I made a huge parts list but looking at this I might be changing some things that I purchase. Truck looks great!
Dang it would’ve been even cooler with a 7.3🔥🔥
it was just a f-150 dude chill not every OBS has to be a diesel plus that is the same engine they put in the mustangs for that year that is quite enough for a mid sized pick up
yall did a great job on this build but you should have put a clip in of what the truck sounds like after all the engine work
You're right Anthony- we definitely dropped the ball on that one. I guess you'll just have to trust me when I say it sounded AWESOME. :) -Justin
I guess some of these internet geniuses don’t know what Make A Wish is.
Great job and thank you! This is super as well as heartbreaking. Our prayers to you and your family young man.
I have a 1990 Ford f150 4x4 with the 5.0 engine.
A lot of good things that you've done in this video and some that I plan on doing. My biggest thing is to pull the engine. For a lot of years my engines leaking oil all most as fast as you can put it in. I broke my back 14 years ago and it takes me a long time to do anything.
I have a couple friends who have offered to help me get my engine out. Once I do I plan on doing all the work on the motor. I figured over the winter I can do the motor. I usually get about a half hour to an hour to do things before I have to lay down again so that's why I figured winter is perfect.
I'm really not thinking of changing the color after saying this I'm considering it. That's my color if my truck was going to be anything but black it's going to be that color.
I love that front bumper that really makes the front end look good. I also like those rims. I'm happy with 31s under my truck. To me that's my perfect size and I've never ran into problems with needing a taller truck.
I'm definitely saving this video so I can use it for references for working on mine.
You guys really knocked it out of the park.
Cam, headers, Flowmaster exhaust, but you leave both of the stock and restrictive catalytic converters from 1995, why?
KsKaylor so he doesn't lose that back pressure boy damn gotta have the cats
@@IFFIkillaWard No you don’t. You think any Fox Body running around still has cats? As long as you run them out the back you’re good. I’ve seen a tiny amount of power loss in turn downs
All that yet you put a single in dual out exhaust.
Alexander Moffitt same thing i thought. And they mounted it sideways which means in a few years itll be gone.
Well, I don't think they are expecting Levi to live past a few years
James Rowland why will they be gone?
right that and no undercoat
Greyhound o
Beautiful Finish! Phenomenal Job.
I love this truck before and after the build, just beautiful!.. It's always great to watch these awesome videos, so please everyone there keep up the great work for great and deserving people!. 🙏
Thank you so much! -Zach
Am I the only one who loved the truck stock more than custom
Yes
Travis Kantz The stock truck was cool
Subbed your badass
Man I really wanted to hear this thing start up! Other than that astonishing job , that truck is a beast!
How amazing yall did this for him. Great work great people
When you think you are recovering nicely but you're truck gets a make over
That sounds great but the GT40 Heads or even aluminum heads would've been wayyyyyyyyyy better.
That truck looks super badass props to you guys 👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gorgeous truck
Wow, that Nice F150 already looked really beautiful...with green, and the wheels...
I would have prefered it like how it was originally...
Can y’all fix my 2011 Chevy Silverado? I’m 24 on dialysis and I’ve been wanted to put a lift kit on it I fix a dent on my tailgate.
Thats easily one of the nicest fords ive ever seen
Justin great job man. I was just waiting for a start up sound!! Awesome cause!!
@AmericanTruck Ford - I know you said it's a magnetic metallic paint. Do you have a paint code? That be awesome
Call ford that's the same paint thats on my new 2018 f-150 they'll give you the color codes
When are you guys offering support for the 93 to 96 Ford's I have a bronco and it needs love but funds are dwindling but I love how easy everything is to find on your website it's all right there!
I’ve been wondering the same thing for a while now
I have a 94 Bronco and it would be awesome if they can work on it.
Im a coved19 survivor can my 94 bronco get that makeover. Its not as rusty i promise.
@@OliverKoolO what do you need done?
The stuff that goes bad when an old ford sits to long. Timing cover seal leaking coolant. Thats a pain to change. I did do a rust proofing/prevention using Stabil took 4 cans and Im really happy about it.
That’s a awesome looking truck!
I was impressed at what you did with this truck !!!
Some long arms and straight axle wouldbe perfect for it
TheCattlekings the kid wasn’t worth that I guess
Russell jenkins haha
For 33's i wouldn't bother.
fucking mint
shes fuckin mint
FL Boy Fuccin MiNt
Spray some fucking ether down her hole that’ll start er
Just fuckin mint 👌
SHES JUST MINTY CHOOCHIN TO LIFE
Awesome stuff - great looking truck!
Wow if really said " give it to someone who deserves it more " that is definitely the definitely of been humble. My dude deserved this truck for sure. And even I'm kinda jelly because it looks sick but non the less.
The stock straight 6 had more torque than the stock 5.0 but awesome build
Yea, they were pretty tame- we had them in our Falcons and Fairlanes. My truck has a 4.0l 6cyl- efi aussie 6, and it makes the same power. Gonna fit a Barra 6 in it one day, 400bhp stock...
arealassassin nice dude
Old school is better imo. No cats, loud cam, headers, the whine of 4 speeds..
Straight 6 was the best motor ever built
I wish that would happen to my truck
Braydon Zeeman get cancer
Catherine Dasilva huh?
get cancer so you could contact make a wish. I believe that is what Catherine Dasilva meant.
Oh haha well his truck ended up being a badass ford
Im in love with this truck! Looking for my 1st pick up and Ford is a more affordable truck to me to build on.thus has added to so many ideas. Thanks for the video
Awwwww. I want it when Levy is done with it!!!! Beautiful
I liked the green better. But hey, it's not my truck
Nah gray looks way better
So you basically built a truck for Levi's dad.
You guys did a good job! I wouldn’t be surprised if this truck out lives him!
that is badass man i’m currently rebuilding my 86 bronco
Would have looked better with stock grill and headlights
Mrbink01 I think it’s clash with the dark look. But there are aftermarket headlights that keep that original shape but are a little more custom and dark. The stock grill would probably be nice painted black, but idk.
I agree they should’ve left stock grille and blacked it out but new headlights look better on it
So i figured out what amarican muscle does in there spare time lol
That is one sweet truck! Lift and stance is top notch. Good choice Levi!
I had a 94 150 with a 5.0 and 5sp manual XL.
I was going to buy it back from the guy but he thrashed it.
Personally, I prefer manual locking hubs.
This truck is awesome matched with the manual. It need to comeback. Levi is super lucky this truck is a work of art.
they spent 20,000 and could not rebuild the motor. that probably burns oil .plus with the lift ,tires ,and new gearing the motor won't last 15,000 miles, from a lead footed teenager. but at least the truck will look good sitting on the side of the road with a piston rod through the block.
Chad Rummage found the expert internet mechanic
Mountain_Man but he has a point so shut up
Mountain_Man You forgot the period, asshole.
biggy poppa not really. They’re built to tow. Big tires won’t affect it much
Looks like 38 people either pressed the dislike button by accident or hippies that hate trucks....
NotMike Or their phones or monitors were upside down!
Nah, just don't like yank sensationalist tv bullshit "builds", we are people who love our trucks, and look after them properly. Fucking Slick here in the vid looks like a boss who doesn't spanner anything, probably interferes with his gym time, greasy hands would ruin his "look".
@@arealassassin his hands are literally never dirty and every time there's a Montage of them working on it he's just holding the exhaust or lifting a wheel to make it look like hes doing something
Probly wanted to hear it run like the rest of us
Wish well made!!! Wish achievement code unlocked! Good job guys! Live long and have fun Levi!
Good looking. Gun metal was a great choice. I’m just starting on my 96 F150!
Thumbs down for no exhaust clip... like really guys??? The best part of it all and you skipped it??
they couldnt paint under the truck all that rust ruins the nice paint
Looks great 👍 love it
