I don’t think anyone would be surprised that these trucks are astronomically expensive, but even the laymen will understand after watching one of your videos. Not that any of us will EVER be able to afford one, it’s still nice to dream!
I think the hand painting of the letters in the knobs is a nice contrast. It makes it pop and is a nice touch. Plus, its like a nice personal touch when talking about attention to detail.
Morning Jonathon this is absolutely beautiful, fantastic, purposeful built with care and attention to detail that is simply unbelievable. I live in Cape Town South Africa and came across the video on You Tube. I simply don't have the money to afford this TR#16 truck but man I can see myself driving this ride. We simply dont have access to this in South Africa but man oh man it would be awesome to have it in my garage. All the best and maybe one day soon I can make a trip to ICON in LA USA. Thank you for your input in this beautiful world.
I recall you once said your only issue with your builds was that each one became your favorite and you couldn't keep them all. I get that entirely, each one you show us is the one that I want. I love the contract of the Chalk and the black chrome. Especially, as you said, the minor details of all the bolts and smaller trim. That leather is insane. I'm not sure I could say enough about this one. I have been looking forward to the video. Thank you for sharing. Always look forward to the next one. O.o and thank you, thank you for a Thriftmaster configurator. I love building new specs.
Great to see ya back here on TH-cam with awesome new content! As usual, what an amazing example of the artistry and performance ICON brings to us in every single build! Huge fan!!! 👍🏼
Another pice of rolling art…like the letters painted on the switches. I have built a couple of these Thriftmaster and struggled with reducing interior sound levels…on my last build I injected spray foam between the panels at the rear cab/window area and the difference was very significant. Just thought I would share that discovery. Your designs and thought process is second to none thank you for sharing so much of what you do.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot to show this truck to whoever was the original owner and get his impression of the resurrection. As always, good job! I would be elated to own it.
THE TRUE BEAUTY IS IN THE DETAILS . l love all the lil details like nothing is left untouched and that black chrome rocks !!! Hmmm l wonder what other body colors black chrome would go with?
Beautiful build, feel like I've been seeing more Porsche Chalk lately, just a great understated color. I like the hand painted knobs, such a cool font, it needs to be shown off. I loved the TR configurator as well, forgot to tell you, oh and interesting move for TLC
As a Chalk GT3 Touring owner, I wholeheartedly approve! Great eye for aesthetic, as usual. The black chrome is almost equal measure the next dark tone from chrome as the Chalk is to white.
The redemption for making things only for the rich is to make it better than they know, in other words make it for yourself. The art survives the price.
Love this. I think the black chrome would look awesome on dark grey or a dark green. One thing I personally have an issue with is the sun visor. It looks absolutely lethal, especially if it's positioned to the side. I can imagine even a minor impact resulting in some sort of severe head injury. You should nickname it the guillotine. :D
I like them but I feel you! We have a similar sun visor system on the locomotives at the railroad. And I have cracked my head on them more than I want to admit. One time I cut my forehead. However it's a neat piece on the truck.
More ICON lust.... Man, if I ever win the lottery: A '54 or above Thriftmaster AND a late 30s-through-40s business coupe Derelict. You can book it now. 2 ICONS... I just gotta win the lottery!!!
this is a favourite game of mine! My lottery order would be an LS swapped E30 coupe, and an electric "Marty McFly" toyota truck......but the fantasy changes daily!
Off topic - why never a Troopy? Friend of mine inherited one from the mid 80’s from his father in law who used it for almost 35 years for countless expediton in Northern Africa, mostly into the Sahara. That thing has mojo in spades it almost tells you stories if you sit in it in silence for a while. I am usually not sentimental when it comes to cars but I swear that thing has Tuareg magic in it. Absolutely fascinating.
Mi amigo, que hermosa camioneta, lo felicito. Ninguna que sea modelo nuevo se compara a mi parecer con tanta magia, belleza y estética en ese modelo 1.948.
Great job, again Jonathan ! I really like the finish of your product you are making. Doesn't matter which model of restore you do, they are great. Love it! ( From Canada )
Very big fan enjoy seeing these trucks they're fantastic is there fantastic I was wondering have you ever thought about doing a Dodge like 53 through 57D 100 with a modern day drive train especially that art Morrison Chassie
Been into customising for a long time now. Having something shop built should be something of an anti thesis. Maybe not when it's from Icon. Jonathan, you and the team's attention to detail is really something. Not just in the Thriftmaster series, but all through the derelict theme. The highest standards of thought then finish. I cant see me being a customer, but imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery. I'm wondering how to mount discreet led lighting into my track car. Thank you for the in depth videos. Andy.
These trucks are a fantastic work of remodelled automotive genius. I love the classic design but this, combined with your highly advanced modern reengineering techniques the result looks awesome. I am interested to know how much the cost of these vehicles comes out at. Couldn't see anything about that aspect. Very enjoyable videos.
Always enjoy your videos. Your workmanship and attention to detail whether a derelict or Thriftmaster are way above my mere skills but I can always dream :)
The visors on my 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series do in fact slide out and all the way to the side. In fact, there are two visors for both driver and passenger so while one is out blocking light from the side another can fold down and block light from the front. Yup. That's a Toyota Land Cruiser for you!
The flourescent orange in the dials was switched in later builds ? Maybe metal "hands" and a cream background with thin black lines like an expensive old watch ?!
Jonathan my friend... this is by far one of your greatest masterpieces 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 you never seize to impress us brother.. if I had to do mine it will definitely be a 4WD 4x4 TM
Jonathan, I'm sure you get this a lot, but do you ever build vehicles with this level of craftsmanship and detail, but somewhat more affordable materials? I'd want something well built and reasonably fast, but I DON'T need German wool carpet or Italian leather, or the VERY BEST anything. Very GOOD is just fine. Or is it just more profitable for you to spend your shop time on the highest-end builds for the wealthiest clients (I wouldn't blame you if that's the case).
Another fabulous truck Jonathan - what a stunner, and the black chrome works brilliantly. The colours chosen for this truck are really nice. Did it take the owner long to finalise the spec? I'm definitely going to take an in-depth look at your new configurator!
@@ICON4x4Design I respect your combined decisiveness and great taste - the end result works really well. That Porsche crayon is a great colour. I'm sure that for every client with clarity of thought there are many who take a very long time to make up their mind! It must be quite something to say "Jonathan - that's my final spec."
Beautiful builds, I've watched your builds over the years and every one always more impressive then the last. I'm working on my 52 chevy 3100. I'm looking for a replacement bench seat for comfort. What bench are you using for these trucks. I can't seem to find the one your using. Thanks for putting some beautiful in the world
A literal work of art! Wow!!! I'm always expecting that your clients will start moving to an EV drivetrain for your Thriftmasters & Broncos, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Any signs of this on the horizon?
@@carholic-sz3qv Are you sure? Jonathan said the VW 'Thing' was his first EV conversion, and he has only done the '49 Mercury since then (as far as I can recall).
Good God, I can't even imagine how much money was spent on all that black chrome. Is it like a candy (paint) black coat over regular chrome, or a chemical process? Will it scratch?
Yeah, I loved every aspect of this truck too. But there’s something about the bright bezel around the Rockford Fosgate sub between the seats that bothers me. I guess prefer audio to be heard and not seen.
I don’t think anyone would be surprised that these trucks are astronomically expensive, but even the laymen will understand after watching one of your videos.

"Black chrome." Yes you're on to something, it really works well on your products Jonathon. Awesome truck, so tastefully done, as always.
Simple but stunningly complex at the same time. Just beautiful.
Thanks for doing these, and showing that craftsmanship and design still exist today.
I love the thriftmaster series. These trucks are such a beautiful art deco utility vehicle.
Never been a gray color fan, but with the black chrome this truck just smokes! I'd order it exactly the same...Well done.
Give credit, when credit due. It’s due on this fine ride Jonathan. Thx to the ICON crew too😊
Sometimes it gets just a little above the rest. This is one. Thx Jonathan
The word gorgeous is not enough to describe it. Damn!

Don't Stop Creating This Art !
Time for a shop tour, show us where the magic happens
Just a beautiful all round package Jonathan. Nailed it. Your innovation seems to have have no bounds. Greetings from Perth, Western Australia.

Love it….and still dreaming of my own one day!
Another beautiful job Jonathan, I was sorry to hear about the passing of Craig Morrison.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot to show this truck to whoever was the original owner and get his impression of the resurrection. As always, good job! I would be elated to own it.
Turn those plastic gauge needle nacelles on the lathe or silverleaf them or paint them brother. You killed it as usual. The goat for sure.
THE TRUE BEAUTY IS IN THE DETAILS . l love all the lil details like nothing is left untouched and that black chrome rocks !!! Hmmm l wonder what other body colors black chrome would go with?
Outstanding sir. When my vessel reaches port, I'll be coming to see you.
Wow, that's one of your nicest finishes yet, and that bar was already so high.
Oh man…thatblack chrome look is so beautiful….I’m doing my 914 this same color scheme, I won’t expect it to have this same vibe…but I can hope…

Forget a yacht or a private jet, my business goal is to make enough to buy one of these one day.
Black chrome works so well..beautiful truck..well done ✔
Just incredible pieces of automotive art.
Beautiful truck is more beautiful now.
Another jaw dropper. You keep raising the bar. Nice to call out your crew they are some real artisans.
Absolute badass artistry as always.
Agree that Chalk Grey is gorgeous.
I absolutely love black chrome
Wasn't expecting it to look so sexy in that color, wow!
Absolute fan of your channel, your work and ICON creations.
Love this new one.
Keep those videos coming!

Your eye for design is simply amazing. I’m fascinated by how you make everything flow so smoothly and your teams work is second to none!
Did anyone notice how quiet the cab interior was in the vid? Jon - great truck!!
More ICON lust....
Man, if I ever win the lottery: A '54 or above Thriftmaster AND a late 30s-through-40s business coupe Derelict.

I just gotta win the lottery!!!

You may have to win TWO lotteries...or the Powerball.
I watch these with awe, but this is MY favorite piece ever

Awesome! The best of both worlds!
The Black chrome is the ticket!…nicely done!
I’d love to be able to have you work over my 68 Dodge D200.
I'm asking for original pics, what how it was from factory. Versus how you improve... just for reference in the video. Love your product.
What a Amazing Truck Great Job.
Another beast. Fantastic truck!!
This is SOOO beautiful!
Boa noite congrats carro icon 2023 bom 💪🏾👍🏾

One of the best yet! So good.
Awesome looking Truck.
The flourescent orange in the dials was switched in later builds ?
Maybe metal "hands" and a cream background with thin black lines like an expensive old watch ?!
Jonathan flawless build as always can u plz make video 4 the Mercedes u r doing in near future
I've never wanted to eat seats before today.
Jonathan my friend... this is by far one of your greatest masterpieces 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 you never seize to impress us brother.. if I had to do mine it will definitely be a 4WD 4x4 TM
Great build but I would have painted the fenders and running boards a contrasting color !
I almost hate to see that Bronco upgraded, its a beast, lol...

@@ICON4x4Design Thank you for the reply, Jonathan. Keep up the wonderful work!
Good God, I can't even imagine how much money was spent on all that black chrome. Is it like a candy (paint) black coat over regular chrome, or a chemical process? Will it scratch?
It's the same process as bright chrome but with different alloys in the final chromium layers. Wear is the same.
So awesome!
Have you considered Second series 55 - 59 Chevy Trucks?
Otherwise a very nice build.🤗
The black chrome looks top notch. Is this something you guys do in-house or you have a partnership with another company?
Owesome
Great as always.😍👍
Great build!!!! Really enjoy your videos! Will the articulating one piece dash panel ever be for sale?
Great work as always classic !!
Brilliant,,all of it.
Love love love it!! Great job!!
JW, when this truck came to you was it primer and light blue with a 283 V8? I’m wondering if it is my ex truck I sold in 2018.
Keep in mind this is the only ticky tack complaint... I love these trucks!
But a plastic USB port is not like you.
It should be a machined metal part.
Yeah, I loved every aspect of this truck too. But there’s something about the bright bezel around the Rockford Fosgate sub between the seats that bothers me. I guess prefer audio to be heard and not seen.
Boa tarde congrats vai amém bom trabalho
Black chrome is the shit!!!
Very nice, love it!
Beautiful truck. The LWFVT knobs could use a smaller and more appropriate font. Chunky and not as refined compared to the rest of the build.
