Great Truck, and Sweet Build! I like the fact he kept the drivetrain stock, Fe, NP435 and Dana 24 Tcase. and the builder is half right about the front fenders. Only the F-350 two wheel drive trucks,(and up) got the big opening fenders, Or if it was ordered with 16's 17.5's or 19.5's All 4x4 61-66 F-250's came with the big opening fenders. there wasn't a F-100 4x4 until 66 and those numbers are super low.
I will definitely tell my Ford freinds about your youtube channel. Great content along with all your talented mechanic and fabrication freinds and various contacts. Very cool 4 door Ford Truck, its very classy.
I think I heard him say "small block". Small displacement maybe but I think all FE blocks were the same size with bore/stroke accounting for different displacements.
There were 3 different blocks. Most common was the 352/360/390. The 427 came along because of nascar. The 428 came out for the big cars that needed more torque.
I dont know what to think....you guys werent even born yet when these trucks were in production. I was 5 or 6 yrs old. John F Kennedy's assination was still fresh in the publics mind and I still remember how upset my mom was the day it happened. Is this just a flip for proffit scenario and jumping on the band wagon or legit appreciation for old school trucks and old school Americana? Anyway thanks for keeping with the era and not putting circus size wheels on this beauty 👍👍👍
Hey Solomon bro this is your best what the truck to date. at least for me because I lean towards old Ford trucks being original. or if not original how Ford would have built them. this truck is sort of similar to my 1951 Ford pickup. I guess it's because I believe that in many cases that the factory originals can't be improved opon. that's why old Ford trucks are so much better than anything that could be offered from any other manufacturer. oh I wish I could find a set of those military tires because I have 16.5 wheels. and some idiot decided that the production of 16.5 tires needed to be ended. making it virtually impossible to find tires to fit those wheels.
I could be wrong, but I believe the early Ford and Dodge crew cab pickups were coach built in Canada. Ford didn't start making their own crew cabs until the 1980's.
Dad owned a 1966 F250 Camper Special two tone Cream over Wimbledon white. Came with Mustang bucket seats, factory trailer braking system, passenger side in the bed toolbox. Even though it was a F250 the real rating was a 1 ton. Eight lug split rim wheels.
I found my dream truck. If this guy wants to sale let me know. WOW!! Had me to the end.. But not $250K nice. and the Rag top Falcon nope not $40K could have gotten AK's Falcon for about that.
For the life of me why would you want to cut down the bed from a long bed I love to have a four door long bed of that body style what a shame it was cut down love it other than that
Back then trucks were trucks not plushy grocery getting mom taking the kids to school vehicles that they are know. That's why truck like these are rare and not made in large numbers
Thanks to the man for keeping an old school Ford V8, and not booger welding a diesel in it.
Such a nice design from Ford. They should bring that body style back!
Mikey mike l think that's great idea. I also think that Ford should start again making trucks like this.... TOUGH!!!
@@olblu8746 They’re making too much money off of dealership repairs to make something bulletproof again 💀
Very nice, the 1st 60s F350 Crewcab I've ever seen.
Great looking truck! Absolutely fantastic!
Just sweet...not over done...right up my alley
Super nice Slick , Done just like it should , add a couple modern upgrades from the late 70's , and I don't think the persist would mind

I had a 61 F250 4x4 and it came with the larger front wheel openings and had the factory brush guard. If I remember correctly it had 17.5" rims
Awesome classic ford crew cab truck
Beautiful truck man love those old Ford's thanks for keeping it original brother u didn't butcher it great job!
I will definitely tell my Ford freinds about your youtube channel. Great content along with all your talented mechanic and fabrication freinds and various contacts.
Very cool 4 door Ford Truck, its very classy.
Much appreciated!
Absolutely beautiful
Very cool truck I really like it, I like the stock look of it
I had no idea this thing even existed how bad ass is this truck 🤘🏻👏🏻 thanks for sharing
you are welcome
Nice truck like the color.
I think I heard him say "small block". Small displacement maybe but I think all FE blocks were the same size with bore/stroke accounting for different displacements.
Technically I believe it’s a wide block. They are not big blocks
There were 3 different blocks. Most common was the 352/360/390. The 427 came along because of nascar. The 428 came out for the big cars that needed more torque.
Is he describing wine???? RAD RIG!!!! Jonathan Ward that shit boiiiiii Big girl bus!!!!
Very cool truck! Loved the custom short bed!
Filmed in Huntington Beach at Central park, saw my neighbor and his dog walk by.
Omg I just came across this video and my dad restored this truck. I will have to share this video with him.
that is so cool
I have a few pics of the cab off the frame of when he started to restore this truck but never got any of this one before restoring.
Awesome truck. My 65 single cab longbed is beige and white with a 352fe and a 4 on the floor too. This one is wayyyy nicer though!
Right on!
Beautiful.
good job.
Man that’s nice

I'd like to see what it would look like with the rear wheel wells opened up to match the fronts. Another awesome truck Solomon!

Oh Yea
352 was an fe block.....is ford's other big block! Not a small block.
I could be wrong, but I believe the early Ford and Dodge crew cab pickups were coach built in Canada. Ford didn't start making their own crew cabs until the 1980's.
Ford started making there own in 1965
Exposed rear door hinges give away the coach built crews
my uncle built this truck!! love it.
Very cool!

250 k for the truck is what I would consider hyper inflation price
For the life of me why would you want to cut down the bed from a long bed I love to have a four door long bed of that body style what a shame it was cut down love it other than that
It didn’t have a bed it was a flatbed truck before
@@FordEraEven so, this would look better and be more useful as a long bed
Did I hear original small block?? That happens to be a FE "Big Block" - Let's just say Big difference.
I think I read somewhere once that its illegal to drive in bare feet.
🤤
it looks like the rear doors don't open too well.
Anyone know where I can find one like this? Seriously. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Love the truck just way too much wind noise
Cool old truck - but definitely not 250 k cool
250k!?!?!?!?
What is the est. value for that build + Cost of the 2WD they started with ? My guess is $39,000 , what do you think ?
The truck is up for sale on his website vintagechariots.com
@@FordErathey only sell clothes am I late to the party
I wish we 100% knew the 65/66 numbers…
Me too.
Me 3
@@FordEra I’d bet you know the whereabouts of half of them
Absolutely beautiful would love a small pop up in the camper for getting out of society and being left alone by morons .
I would never sell that and go newer if i could restore a classic 4x4
snooze...woulda been actually interesting to hear the ford crewcab enthusiast who restored.it...describe it.
The hot sweetness as usual.
Why did ford make these? Only 100?
it was what the customers wanted just not enough wanted them so its rare now
Back then trucks were trucks not plushy grocery getting mom taking the kids to school vehicles that they are know. That's why truck like these are rare and not made in large numbers
352 is FE big block dufus not small block
Driving barefoot? smh
All that work, and no working speedo...jeez.
Why are you driving a truck like this with flip flops🤔
As opposed too?
Wtf , is that a RED ZONE UR PARKED IN ? REALLY 👎👎
