"I'm kinda bored. I think I'll build a truck in a day out of stuff I have laying around in the yard" If anyone said that to me I'd think they were joking. You sir, are a wizard. Love it. My favorite youtuber.
I love these trucks ... I had a 1950 with a 56 Buick engine and Trans and column..painted flat red and flat black..it was hot rodded in the 60's..I bought it in 1973..thanks for sharing this one..
Just a guy and his dog having fun, love it. I grew up with one of these trucks, 1948 Ford F1, 6 cylinder std, stick on the floor, green with black fenders. Many is the time we went to town standing up in the back, 18 miles to town and we had fun, I'm still here 74 years later. Thanks for the memories. Hahahahaha
Brent You're 1 Down to Earth Guy For Dang Sure and You n Pablo Wearing Earmuffs Was CLASSIC n HIM Giving YOU Those "THANKS DAD" KISSES MELTED MY HEART Buddy... Thanks For Sharing Your Love and Fun n Have a Blessed Week !!!
This gentleman is a legend! Proves once you set your mind on something you can get it done! From a rolling shell to a runner. Lost art most people nowadays just trash things and buy new. Awesome videos!
For the life of me, I don’t understand the turds who down vote these videos. Great work as always. You get more done out in the shop in a week than a lot of us do in a year. Keep up the great content.
@@bigchieftrucker9757 YT can't be bothered, they fuck content creators in other ways. And believe it or not, likes AND dislikes are good for the channel's visibility.
Man wakes up...wonders what he's going to do for the day ..so for shits and giggles, he goes and gets an old pickup, puts an engine in it then takes his dog for a run.., yup that sounds about right. Brent there's never a dull day on your channel! You got more going on than most car guys on You tube. 👍👍
Hahahahaha!!! Awesome, Pablo wearing earmuffs and smiling!!!! Hopefully in a year or two... I will have to invite you down to my house in Florida (When I retire) to get my 46 Dodge running!!!!! You are amazing!
Very entertaining as all of your videos. The pup enjoyed it too , ear protectors and all. Yes Mercury trucks are Canadian as well as Meteor cars. Thanks for sharing.
Pablo is the dawg!!! He will ride in anything.. Just so long as he is riding..lol Halfass, and Jonathan W.. The best channels I have found, on TH-cam.....
I love to revisit these older videos, it just amazes me how much stuff you have laying around that you can piece together such a cool project in a short time, still say you've got the best dog on utube, it's obvious he loves spending time with you and I pray you have many many more years to enjoy such loyal company, people just don't realize how much they care and how much we miss them when they're gone
You Sir, are something else, the dog belongs to the scenes. You changes engines just if it is nothing, just having breakfest also the pictures from the drone ate super!
That's why you see so many rods with Chevy engines , they are almost a universal fit for any Chevy engine 6 cylinder and V8 all of them the parts are so interchangeable it's a shame forward didn't do that and I love FORD'S too
Searching Images for '48 Mercury pickup and one sees some absolutely gorgeous restored versions of this truck... It could be really something! You always amaze me!!
This is why I love channels like yours and coldwarmotors (both canadians!!). There's no old vehicle you can't put together. I mean, damn, dude! You had a truck with no engine, a completely unrelated engine in a shed, which you completed with letfover parts, in a couple of days, and you made a shifter and an gas pedal and away you went! Amazing! Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Man that music fit the mood... tooling around the back roads... could envision down in the South... just need different rear wheels to make it perfect...
Your knowledge of putting different engines, gearboxes, starters, and bits together is amazing. I would have loved to be an apprentice working and learning from you (if i was 30 years younger) You are the a to z of car building Keep up the fantastic work sir
She a little rough around the edges….lol aren’t we all . I’ve worked on a lot of 48 Thur 52 F-1 and never ever gotten sick of them . I rebuilt a 52 with the 239 flat head about 12 years ago and drive it a lot in the summer and a 50 F1 that was rough ..into a hot rod / rat Rod not quite sure what it is . That at truck will make someone very happy and I’m glad I’m far away from you …no chance of me driving over and bring it home . Thanks for sharing Shawn aka Rusty Rods
I love the customized ear muffs For Pablo lol! I've been around cars most of my life my dad had a 48 Ford pick up with a 383 out of a police interceptor, a push button automatic out of a Crown Imperial and a 9" Out of a 69 Mercury cyclone 390. And it was painted Canary yellow. When you put that truck together brought back memories.
Without doubt Brent... you my friend really put the M... In mechanic !! I've seen you do some things I would not have believed if I had not seen it with my own eyes !!! I was a diesel mechanic in the Navy for 4 years 1975-79 and I would work alongside you anytime!
Mega like. Its a Mercury.. Beautiful triming. Amazed how you put it together that fast. Got the knowledge! Thanks for sharing it. Lot of learning. Mega like!
That brings back some memories. My first hot rod was a 48 ford pickup truck. Pulled the flat head and installed a ford 390 4 speed from a 66 fairlane gt. I was 19 yrs old then. Many hot rods later I am 70 years old now and working on a 48 Mercury coupe.
Don’t have time to watch this one just yet but gave it a thumbs up cause I trust your work🤔😁👍, I’ll watch at work around 2am eastern. But just the look of it deserves a 👍
That Merc truck is growing on me. Chevy powered & has to be rare. I am 55 & have to say, that's the first Merc truck i've ever seen. & i've been to many a car show as my dad & uncle were car nuts. Awesome
These trucks were just a ford truck in the states. Don't remember so much chrome but this with the chrome is cool. My old man had one for about year. Brings back memories of the 60s for me. Excellent little video!
A friend of mine has a 48 Merc just like that one here in Wisconsin. He is not sure when it MIGRATED from Canada. He had a SBC in it for years, but 2 years ago he decided to go to a 93 Mustang 5.0 AOD set up, which is STILL NOT DONE! That is a GREAT STARTER TOY for some young Gearhead!
I had one of them when I was 20, I`m now crowding my seventh decade. I think mine was a 49 merc original flathead 8 with 4speed stick one-ton pick-up. It had the same plywood farmer racks they must have come special order lol. I remember coming home from the hotel, Friday night after work with the boys I worked with., parked the truck, and headed to the outside john for a crap, it was winter time and the snow was deep, finished my job and headed to the house about halfway there the overload of alcohol struck I stumbled and fell down in the deep snow and passed out. At some point in time, my wife came out to check if I was still breathing, went back in the house, and came back out with a quilt and covered me up, Every time I see one of those trucks I think of that, that same woman bless her heart, passed away six years ago, just before our 45th anniversary.
Even to people that were kids when these were starting to get older still love these my grandfather had a grain truck with a flathead that was like brand new that he sold one time on Christmas day and I remember it sit there idling all throughout supper and it was so smooth then I drove a 53 Ford they had various amounts of compression for years and each cylinder and it run 100 mph
But I had a 52 F5 stub nose cabover you would have liked to have had and I wish I had it still it was a water tanker vacuum controlled rear end two speed. The high and low lever was on the dashboard next to the choke and you really had to be fast to split shift it and it could be done
I'm a little late getting to this video. It's hard to keep up with you man. The '48 brings back a lot of good memories. I bought one off a guy in 1973. It was his baby. The only modification to it was that he installed a round face radio in it from a '55 Ford. I paid $250 for it. That was my only vehicle for 4 years. I drove it all over BC. Hauled fish from Vancouver in it, fruit from the Okanagan and went out on a Saturday night with it. I never let me down until one hot August day hauling a load of fruit over the Hope Princeton Hwy, and it could not get up Whipsaw Hill without overheating, as flatheads will do. After coasting back down, refilling the rad abot 3 times, it made it over the top, but not before cracking a piston. It still made it all the way home to Sooke. I bought a '54 Ford car for $25, dropped that motor in it and was good to go until I sold it. A great old truck.
Great truck!! I put a Lincoln 460/C6 and 9” in my ‘48 Ford F1. Awesome to see ya take it out for a boot around the yard. Keep up the great work!! Pablo is a trooper too, had me laughing!!
I CAN JUST SEE THE LOOK ON SOME FUTURE MECHANIC,S FACE IN 30 TO 40 YEARS WORKING ON ONE OF YOUR CREATIONS AND THINKING WOW THIS GUY REALLY KNEW HIS STUFF
To replicate those "waunky" sides today would blow the budget on this this build! Wait til lumber prices come down a little bit Brent, they're good for another season!
Love it , My dad had a 50 ford when I was a kid , I loved that old truck. I bought a 50 ford about 25 years ago that looked almost identical to yours same color etc. I never got around to working on it so I gave it to a coworker as a retirement gift , I think it is still sitting under his barn shelter lol . The Mercury seems to have more chrome on it than the ford did. I may have to see about getting the 50 back from my friend if he is not going to work on it now that I have retired.
Scott over at Cold War Motors does these "Summer Challenges" series - this year is already spoken for, but I wonder if you two could collaborate a summer challenge like a "Alberta vs. Manitoba" build off, first to Moose Jaw wins or something :D The fact that you can "filler" a running truck in literally a day is frankly amazing. I'm also an IT guy just staring at my project car in the driveway day after day thinking if I stare hard enough it'll fix itself, but I know better.
A man that go to any length to get Pablo a ride, that's a man I like.
"I'm kinda bored. I think I'll build a truck in a day out of stuff I have laying around in the yard" If anyone said that to me I'd think they were joking. You sir, are a wizard. Love it. My favorite youtuber.
I can see the happiness on your face, driving around with your dog on a rusty pick up car...that also made me happy. Good job mate.
You do in a few hours what most of us take weeks or months to do. Always a pleasure to see the dogs involved.
Having fun is what it’s all about and you and your dog were doing that for sure well done
Super cool old truck. Love the drone footage. Appreciate your time and effort to bring us along.
I love these trucks ... I had a 1950 with a 56 Buick engine and Trans and column..painted flat red and flat black..it was hot rodded in the 60's..I bought it in 1973..thanks for sharing this one..
Definitely sounds like a cool pickup
Nothing wrong with making something useful out of what you have handy in your own garage. Will not miss your next video. Take care.
Just a guy and his dog having fun, love it. I grew up with one of these trucks, 1948 Ford F1, 6 cylinder std, stick on the floor, green with black fenders.

always my fav when you and Pablo go for a check ride,, my best to the both of you.
My mother is Canadian, I remember Merc trucks on my aunt's farm. Love it!
OMG the shot with you and your dog with the ear protection, awesome !!

You tube does that to keep content creators from getting a big head. OR its some f-ed up people. Sorry Y T is some F-ed up people.
@@bigchieftrucker9757 YT can't be bothered, they fuck content creators in other ways. And believe it or not, likes AND dislikes are good for the channel's visibility.
Because they really don't appreciate the car hobby and if they do they don't know what there doing
A guy quits trying if they all go good.

Just amazing Brent, the things that you get accomplished. Did my heart good seeing you and Pablo cruising around in this truck, had me smiling!
You are a pleasure to watch! A man with a plan, who loves his dogs. Keep being you ‼️
I love watching you resurrect these old vehicles from the vehicle graveyard and give them new life. Great video!
You're in great looking farm land, thanks for bringing me along.
Hahahahaha!!! Awesome, Pablo wearing earmuffs and smiling!!!! Hopefully in a year or two... I will have to invite you down to my house in Florida (When I retire) to get my 46 Dodge running!!!!! You are amazing!
Always love to see the progress on the never ending list of projects. My wife and I really enjoy Pablo and his expressions.
Another cool episode. I envy the shop. Your work ethic and patience are excellent virtues. Makes for a good life.
Love the drone footage and you driving in the truck with your dog. That's living.
Very entertaining as all of your videos. The pup enjoyed it too , ear protectors and all. Yes Mercury trucks are Canadian as well as Meteor cars. Thanks for sharing.
Even these olders videos define who you are Brent! ❤️👍🙏🙏🙏
Pablo is the dawg!!!
He will ride in anything..
Just so long as he is riding..lol
Halfass, and Jonathan W..
The best channels I have found, on TH-cam.....
Pablo cracks me up. Totally like my Otis wanting to ride in everything and go everywhere.
I love to revisit these older videos, it just amazes me how much stuff you have laying around that you can piece together such a cool project in a short time, still say you've got the best dog on utube, it's obvious he loves spending time with you and I pray you have many many more years to enjoy such loyal company, people just don't realize how much they care and how much we miss them when they're gone

Good to see it running your dog was enjoying the ride.
I didn't know Merc n Fargo made trucks til I was twenty. I love that you make it like a day at the office 🙏😁👍
You have a great attitude and positivity. I guess those are vital when working with old cars.
Awesome truck!!! Used to drive around in one of these when I was a kid. It was my uncle's truck, lots of memories!!!!
Pablo has to be the coolest shop dog on TH-cam! Love the ear muffs, thanks for taking us along for the ride, great drone work!
Dammed you can make anything run! Pablo muffs😂

Think I'll go out and pull out the Old Mercury truck and worked on it for a day real cool nice to have a collection of vehicles
I busted up when I saw Pablo with earmuffs does Pablo steer the Drone also hahaha cool videos thanks for making them I'll keep watching
Man that music fit the mood... tooling around the back roads... could envision down in the South... just need different rear wheels to make it perfect...
haha yeah, it did have the stock wheels at one time but have been lost in its travels before I got the truck back.
Your knowledge of putting different engines, gearboxes, starters, and bits together is amazing.

Pablo's moonshine runner 😊😊😊😊 hi guys from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great video glad you posted keep them coming love the old truck.
You get some of the best rides! That was a record build great job !
I love how you include your dog in the videos. Cool truck!
Dude, you are bringing back some old memories. Learned to drive in a '48 Ford flatbed ($100) pickup my Dad traded for. A long time ago!

this has to be my favorite video on this channel!
ford truck with a chevy powertrain and pablo wearing earmuff! .
totally cool! 100%
love it!
¡¡ A good guardian and a better mechanic !! Congratulations.Fron Córdoba,Argentina.
Brent, you consistently have the best videos on TH-cam. Thank you so much for all your efforts!
Thanks Chris!
Love that you are putting them back on the road. Keep up the good work.
Ear muffs brilliant .... keep it up ....new Zealand 🇳🇿
the ear muffs on you and Pablo was awesome, I'm still laughing!
I don't know what it is but that truck just speaks to me. Coooool build.
Even to people that were kids when these were starting to get older still love these my grandfather had a grain truck with a flathead that was like brand new that he sold one time on Christmas day and I remember it sit there idling all throughout supper and it was so smooth then I drove a 53 Ford they had various amounts of compression for years and each cylinder and it run 100 mph
Small block works
I had a 1941 Ford ton and a half with a flathead six one time that was used at the mylan military air Force Base and it had Waltham gauges
I like that grill better than the 52
But I had a 52 F5 stub nose cabover you would have liked to have had and I wish I had it still it was a water tanker vacuum controlled rear end two speed. The high and low lever was on the dashboard next to the choke and you really had to be fast to split shift it and it could be done

Great finish with man's best friend, really enjoyed watching you bring the old truck back to life, 👌
The ear muffs were great. Got a good laugh.
Got a grin out of me 🐕🦺👍

Top man . Love your vids . And isn't it just amazing to see life still being put into these old machines . Get my thumbs up any day 😊 .
Hell yea I love my 48 F1. But can't wait to watch this after work !!!
Yeah the old Canadian Merc Truck. Sometimes opposites attract, like a Chev motor in a Mercury.
Pooch loved the new ride. 😎👍🇨🇦
That was a fun project and love the ear muff's too.
Beautiful work!
Love your videos ❤️ your fabrication and your mechanic knowalge is unbelievable uspecialy like your Co Pilot Pablo.
