Bob is a typical old school tradesman and a wealth of knowledge that the young folk's can learn from. Great hospitality from them to help you guys. Just love all the vintage trucks from back then. Please show more on the build of the two Ford's.
Ive always loved the Ford F1 and the visor just makes it so much cooler. Bob and his family sound like amazing people. Loved the teachable moments from him 💪🏻
‘86 Ford Bullnose is my favorite. First year for fuel injection and overdrive. Good power from the 302 and excellent reliability. An all around great truck. Had one with over 300k on it. Loved that pickup. Great revive and drive. You guys got balls of steel!!
The 1950 ford f1 looks great me and my wife loves old antique autos we actually love them all the truck runs absolutely wonderful so keep saving them and keep bringing them back to life keep up the good work
I love a good Franken-ride. Probably because I started with International. And for me, the Bump Side has always been my favorite. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite notifications to get. Keep up the good work fellas!
Love the video. You guys are doing a good job and it’s entertaining to watch. Especially driving them afterwards. I think putting a 4 barrel intake and 4 barrel carb would help that motor out. Be cool to see you guys go through all that wiring and make it reliable again. Keep up the good work guys👍
Another perfect example of a "Daily Driven Death Trap"....Wow!!! Love to see you guys get after it. I really like the look of the blue one over this one, but both are cool. Did you guys even know those turn signals mounted on the fenders are from a VW Beetle??? I can't decide if I like them or hate them (LOL)!!! You guys are funny and humble. Look forward to what "You Decide" to do with them. 👍💪😎
Such a cool mentor. Bob is an absolute legend. My favorite body style is actually the one you worked on. I own a 77 Denside and just picked up a Lil 85 Bronco 2. It is a bit of a shame the truck had a sbc but it was a pretty common swap back in the day. At least they are easy to get parts for.
Pretty good video! Love the old trucks. Find a flatter for the blue one. Hope that you keep Bob on speed dial. Having someone with that experience is priceless. That’s why I don’t pick up someone else’s projects.
I had a "Mr.Larry" across the street from me when I was in high school. He showed me around his 47' chevy style master and taught me how to do some wood work such as building book shelves and picture frames! He also did advertising for a classic automobile magazine! some of the best times i've ever spent was in hanging out and learning from him!
Another great video guys , loved it. Would love to see those old trucks again in the future. I do recall there was talk about flame thrower exhaust awhile back. Just saying. 👍
Hahah! Flame thrower for the budget build, we’re getting up there in budget so most revivals we do we have to sell once we get back home. Sadly we don’t have enough subs and views to make enough to keep everything and build everything
Back in the 70s an early 80s, my Dad had a 1948 Bonus build. Basically, she looked just like the F1, but what there was as a Bonus, I have no idea! It had been hand-painted a dark green and still ran the old flathead and crashbox. If you have never experienced a crashbox, you've not lived, mate! Think of it as a gearbox with no synchros, all straight cut gears and a gearstick about 3 feet long with a long and wide throw. Guessing where the next gear would engage was always the order of the day, but that old flathead was a beautiful sounding engine......and actually, the box itself was very musical in the gears as straight cut boxes tend to be. My Mum used it as her work vehicle for a week when her car was laid up, but I could not imagine it was a lot of fun for her in rush-hour traffic. Dad was a bricklayer and he used to carry the concrete mixer, two wheelbarrows and a couple of 44 gallon drums on the back when he went to a new site. All his tools of trade - hand tools and electrical - were kept in the cab with his wet weather gear and extension leads. The truck also hauled a cubic metre of sand or builder's mix (the foundation of a mix of concrete) and had no issues doing so. Great old rig that was. I still have a soft spot for them, but trying to find one in my country now is very difficult....unless they have been done up as customs or museum pieces....and that's no fun to drive or use as a work truck, is it? Again, as a kid, I used to hang around the garage and give Dad a hand with his current project - whether it be an engine rebuild, welding, changing brakes, rebuilding a carb, welding and bodywork or whatever. I learned a heck of a lot just by watching because my old man was not someone you interrupted when he was in the middle of something - you had to pick your moment. However, I now have three classics of my own to look after / rebuild as necessary, along with my wife's and two daughter's vehicles to keep maintained and I am so glad for all that time I spent with Dad in the garage. You're right - listening to the older generations in regard to things they worked with is something that really people forget about doing until it is too late. Sure - google and TH-cam are handy, but words cannot replace someone showing you how it's done and watching while you do the next one. If I throw you a bone in regard to what may or may not be ailing the vehicle you are working on, don't think of it as me being critical. I would much rather ensure the younger generation gets to enjoy the older vehicles, because if we DON'T teach you, these old cars will rot away and only exist in museums and picture books and that is just a damn shame, because driving them and hearing them do their thing give you an experience that you would never otherwise have. From an older bloke's perspective (I'm only 54, so not OLD old as yet), there aren't that many young blokes interested in the old cars. In the little village I live in, all the young blokes drive late-model (1995 onward) ricers or eurotrash and those that are interested in cars prefer to work on those vehicles than say an 80s or earlier vehicle. It's us blokes that have got to educate YOU as much as you picking OUR brains. Great to see the epiphany happen though - just wish there was more like you two! In regard to what to do with them, that 305 still sounds quite healthy. Funny - when you opened the bonnet I could have sworn it looked (and eventually sounded) like a 327...but I will stand corrected because I've not been up close and personal with it like you both! Wiring is a bastard, but it's not hard when there are no computers involved. Find a rotted Camaro or similar with another 305 (or 350....or maybe a couple of 250s) and auto and drop it in the blue one. If the frames are ok on both only though. Building them as a matching pair (if the frames are both in good nick) would be a great point of difference on your channel, although using one or the other as a tow vehicle for that big trailer, I think you might need a bigger engine than the 305 and it would be good to have a 700R4 behind whichever engine is in there because then you get overdrive (lockup torque converter) but still no electronics interfering with it. Bodywork - as in the body itself, beating on the panels, welding in patches and eventually spraying them) - that to me comes secondary to making it safe, making it comfortable to be in, making it watertight, and making it reliable. Bodywork is something that can happen over time in stages. Wiring is something that needs to be done from scratch when it gets to the stage where there are more joins and wirenuts than feet of cable! Wiring is also less expensive than you think - just bloody time consuming! My Triumph Stag had a wiring issue that had me pull the instrument cluster out to check on. There was so much hackery in there that I nearly shut the door and walked away from it. However, it wasn't so bad once I cleared away the multiple joins and several feet of wire that were just dumped in on top of the original loom yet were not actually connected to anything..... If the frames are bad, then flick them on to someone who has the time, but to be honest I would love to see the pair of them being used on the channel eh. I'd also enjoy seeing another F1 / Bonus come home with you - all original flathead engine and crashbox - because I reckon that would make for some great content......especially when you eventually pick up what the crashbox likes and can change gear without the 30 seconds of grinding the gear until it fits! I'm not trying to make you blokes a laughing stock - but my first drive of a crashbox was very entertaining and I reckon you'd both enjoy it.....plus having it on video, you'd spend as much time laughing during the editing as you did driving the thing! I tell you, when you get the first shift without a clash of gears, it is so much of a buzz and you feel on top of the world....until you try to get the next one! Anyway, all the best and let us know what you decide for the pair, eh?
Bob is a great guy, very smart! The F1's are my all time favorite trucks! I would sub frame and small block Chevy the blue one. The red one is so rough that I don't know what I would do with it.
I'd totally make a deal for the ol' brown SMC truck. I've got a 79 dentside, swb flareside i'd get off my hands for a good rat rod candidate. Gotta have a title though lol. Illinois sucks about doing that otherwise.
well, the blue one has already been lowered and the front end modified, I guess that is the one i would do a newer engine in. Maybe like a 351 cleveland? dont see people do those much any more. Now the red one, since it has not been chopped on, instead of lowering it, i think i would rather beef up the suspension and make it a beast. I dont imagine a flathead would come easily. Maybe an FT 361 HD, make the thing pull houses down. Everyone does chopped and lowered trucks, but i never see someone do one that it actually capable of work. Probably ditch those add on fender lights, hate them, rather fix the grill lights, not fond of the front awning either. I guess my favorite years would be 1951 F1 with white painted grill Or 1956 F100 with a 390 6 barrel and a 4 speed rolling a 3:55 dana rear, that would be fun. For what it is worth, i prefer points I can carry a lot of spare points and condensers for emergencies. No one really runs around with a spare HEI
An offer you can't refuse? How many horses heads in your bed would that be..? Nice truck, sensible engine. Looking forward to the other 44 minutes... 🇬🇧👍
Back in 1978 I bought a 1956 f-100 ford for 500.00 dollars I drove it to Jalisco Mexico sold it over there and the 56 is still running. I want to buy it back and drive it back to California.
Bob was a cool dude. Definitely earned the name of your channel on that one. Holy balls.
Ol bob is a dying breed. What a guy
Bob rocks. God put him on earth for a reason.
You again earned your title, that really is a death trap
You definitely cannot learn enough from the older generations
Absolutely love my 86 Bullnose.
👍🏼👍🏼
I definitely want to see more with these two trucks
Bob is a typical old school tradesman and a wealth of knowledge that the young folk's can learn from. Great hospitality from them to help you guys. Just love all the vintage trucks from back then. Please show more on the build of the two Ford's.
Ive always loved the Ford F1 and the visor just makes it so much cooler. Bob and his family sound like amazing people. Loved the teachable moments from him 💪🏻
Bob and everybody else there were so nice God bless them
Awesome video!! The world needs more Bobs!!!
You boys are nuts I love it keep it up
Thanks! We will haha
‘86 Ford Bullnose is my favorite. First year for fuel injection and overdrive. Good power from the 302 and excellent reliability. An all around great truck. Had one with over 300k on it. Loved that pickup.
Great revive and drive. You guys got balls of steel!!
Right on! Thanks haha
I daily drive a 64 E100, so that's my favorite. Love these trucks as well, and really enjoyed your video 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
The 1950 ford f1 looks great me and my wife loves old antique autos we actually love them all the truck runs absolutely wonderful so keep saving them and keep bringing them back to life keep up the good work
Thanks!
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps your welcome
This was a great video, your willingness to learn, coupled with Bobs willingness to teach is exactly what this craps all about!
Great job boys!!
Thank you! It was a good time!
You guys are Amazing Well Done
Appreciate that!
I like these "will it run and drive" videos. Thanks boys
Thanks! Glad you like it!
I love a good Franken-ride. Probably because I started with International. And for me, the Bump Side has always been my favorite. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite notifications to get. Keep up the good work fellas!
Glad to hear that! At least we’re doing something right, wish TH-cam would push our videos a little more but guess we’ll have to keep fighting!
That tree needed a good smack! Lol. Good thing the airbag didn’t deploy😂. Keep up the funny great work and the banter with Alex and you is hilarious!
Appreciate you giving Bob his props and showing him respect. Nice find!
This shows exactly why Ampmeters are a terrible idea. Never understood why they were so popular with the OEMs. Volt meters FTW!
Good.job Nice Ford truck good show 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😍😍❤
You should sell me the blue one.
The wife wants a race truck and that would be a perfect start for us.
Great job on saving both trucks.
Love the video. You guys are doing a good job and it’s entertaining to watch. Especially driving them afterwards. I think putting a 4 barrel intake and 4 barrel carb would help that motor out. Be cool to see you guys go through all that wiring and make it reliable again. Keep up the good work guys👍
We should’ve just went with out guts and got the 4 barrel stuff. Glad you liked!
Thanks for the great video. Very good editing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gosh TH-cam I tell ya, I’ve subscribed to your channel 4 times now lol. Great content! Cheers from southern MN
Haha what’s it doing? Unsubscribing you for some reason?
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps yes it is.
I remember seeing them on marketplace, the visor on the one made me want one on my 52 f1
Love this old truck.
I surprised that u never mentioned the 2 64- 65 fairlanes sitting next to the truck.
We talked it over with bob, who knows, they might be featured on a video😏
Hello guys excellent video loved it love you guys could watch and listen all day thank you ken
My favorite ford truck would be the 61-63 unibodys. Very interesting design on those.
8:35 the truck that I strive to own one day.. 1983 Chevy Crew 3+3 dually K20 with the Detroit diesel
We want a Detroit diesel
this guy know so much about carburator. really cool sharing. this kind of knowledge quietly disappears
Bobs, awesome would love to just listen him all day
I like the bullnose fords and Dentsides. Good video!
good show. ugot the right parts all u need combination😎👍
Beautiful truck!! We just bought a 64 f100 ourselves, can’t wait to watch y’all work on yours!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I was all excited about the video but then you opened the hood!
😆😆 I’m sorry you’re a strong purist! Maybe next time!
The 48 through 51 are my favorite year ford trucks. As a kid i just thought it was cool that the handle in the hood grill was the hood latch lol.
75 f-150 that's my dream truck.
Love the vw beetle fender lights!
They’re cool that’s for sure!
good road trip.....would love to see what ya all are going to do with them.....ill stay tuned..cheers
Awesome sign and good wheel work Duff !
Love the 48 to 52 f-1 pickups.❤️

We say some weird shi* sometimes lol
I like your will it run videos. Bob you are awesome. I am a self taught mechanic from 🇧🇸 Bahamas.
Thanks 👍 Bob is awesome!

Bob was great and yeah parts were super easy other than the og break lines and such
Another good one 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Just came across your channel, so glad i did :-) . Subscribed and looking forward to more content.
Awesome, glad you’re here!
Pretty good video!
Love the old trucks.
Find a flatter for the blue one.
Hope that you keep Bob on speed dial. Having someone with that experience is priceless. That’s why I don’t pick up someone else’s projects.
Thanks, we got a sketchy experiment lol, bobs the man
The quadrajet is a tricky carb. I love them.
Another great video by you guys, the old timer knew some stuff. Thanks!
Our pleasure! Bob is on speed dial hahaha
That was fun thanks yes keep on going 😊

Nice! Good memories!
Those are both beautiful.... I'd love to find an Ole F1/F100...
Awesome video as always love these weekly videos i bet its hard work to get the video out on time
It’s pretty hard! A lot of time on the road and behind the computer
Another great video guys , loved it. Would love to see those old trucks again in the future. I do recall there was talk about flame thrower exhaust awhile back. Just saying. 👍
Hahah! Flame thrower for the budget build, we’re getting up there in budget so most revivals we do we have to sell once we get back home. Sadly we don’t have enough subs and views to make enough to keep everything and build everything
My favorite is the 1970 F100 bump side, mine was 302 great truck
Niceee
dang looks like fun doing that lol
wish i could
Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Fun video.😅
Thanks!
Nice work fellas!!!
Appreciate it!
Very good episode fellers!
Thanks! Glad you liked it

My favourite Ford truck is actually the late 40s early 50s.
🙌🏼👍🏼
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey guys I just found your channel question are you guys in Iowa?? I like how you guys do a vice grip garage thing that's wasome

Hahaha brother trucks

1968 F250 with 390 camper special sold mine and 83 retired US Army sergeant major Gamsby
The fridges were pretty great... Ive ended up with 2 of them so far
Finally, been waiting for this
Us too! Now their next to all the other revivals lol
Dear sweet baby Jesus I want one of them Graziano sausages! That looked good!
They were awesome!
Bob is a great guy, very smart! The F1's are my all time favorite trucks! I would sub frame and small block Chevy the blue one. The red one is so rough that I don't know what I would do with it.
Favorite ford truck 56 1/2 ton
I like this body style
I’m guessing someone else already said it but those are vw beetle signal housings on the fenders
1939 is my favorite
Ford pickup
I'm a bump fan, building a '71 right now
Nice!
Did u pull the olugs snd kube the cylinders?? And drain the old oil as well an aug fuel tank feed ??
Plugs were pulled and mystery oil was put down. Gas feed was disconnected.
Mid 70’s favorite ford trucks 79 preferably
When will you update the blue truck?
That would be a duel jet 2 barrel Quadra jet
I have one from a 79 Pontiac on a shelf.
dream truck is a 1961-75 IH Travelette 4 door truck (were made with 3/4 ton long bed...so cool) or a 69 tavelall wagon...
Creo que tu mejor deseo es arreglar los 2...Éxito!!
Old blue needs to come home with me
Sounds like you're talking bout a Quadrajet?? Very awsome carb.
That a Nova front suffrage. ID from the steering box being beind the crossmember
Can't wait for more on these two trucks but the chevy motor kinda hurts to see in that truck
I'd totally make a deal for the ol' brown SMC truck. I've got a 79 dentside, swb flareside i'd get off my hands for a good rat rod candidate. Gotta have a title though lol. Illinois sucks about doing that otherwise.
well, the blue one has already been lowered and the front end modified, I guess that is the one i would do a newer engine in.
Maybe like a 351 cleveland? dont see people do those much any more.
Now the red one, since it has not been chopped on, instead of lowering it, i think i would rather beef up the suspension and make it a beast.
I dont imagine a flathead would come easily.
Maybe an FT 361 HD, make the thing pull houses down.
Everyone does chopped and lowered trucks, but i never see someone do one that it actually capable of work.
Probably ditch those add on fender lights, hate them, rather fix the grill lights, not fond of the front awning either.
I guess my favorite years would be 1951 F1 with white painted grill
Or 1956 F100 with a 390 6 barrel and a 4 speed rolling a 3:55 dana rear, that would be fun.
For what it is worth, i prefer points
I can carry a lot of spare points and condensers for emergencies.
No one really runs around with a spare HEI
An offer you can't refuse? How many horses heads in your bed would that be..? Nice truck, sensible engine. Looking forward to the other 44 minutes... 🇬🇧👍
Looks like later model VW Bettle front fender signal lights on the front fenders on the 1950 F1
I dig old red I would be interested in a break down on the purchase. If you do sell it then maybe not a price break down.
Back in 1978 I bought a 1956 f-100 ford for 500.00 dollars I drove it to Jalisco Mexico sold it over there and the 56 is still running. I want to buy it back and drive it back to California.
My favorite truck is 1964
Unibody Ford
Niceeeee
