I was gonna point out a truck from the dealer like this would be over $100K. But, a new king ranch 4x4 diesel like this is already $100k. It’s a shame they started chasing horsepower and low cost over durable engines.
i believe that our 99 7.3 is exactly that. built for eternity. Our truck will never rust here in georgia, and it just now has 260k miles on it. all it does is tow our camper to 10 Nascar race weekends a year. it will do that till the end of time, or at least till the end of my time. i tow at 70-75 mph, getting 10 miles per gallon, it does that 100% stock. no reason to boost it to 300 or 400 horse. Just not needed.
That really is a sweet truck! I'm a die-hard GM guy, but I have always liked this body style, Ford. Now it has a great drive train, awesome suspension in it, and the king ranch interior it a perfect truck, in my opinion. I bet he could get 70 or 80 grand for it once it's buttoned up but I don't think I would ever sell such a sweet rig.
Levi Duff yeah its basically a brand new better version OBS truck. It's probably worth 100k. People pay that for new trucks that haven't had all their problems worked out like Rich has done with his truck. It's somewhat famous also so that might help the value also
This is really the first "Lifetime Truck" that I've seen built and documented on TH-cam with good quality. 👏 Its bulletproof design borrows from the best tech and ingenuity that spans decades of automotive design. While not everyone agrees with every part and/or decision Rich made, thanks to this series we can easily imagine tinkering to customize our own bulletproof, one-million-mile powertrain, on-highway pickup truck for family and work... and fun. Excellent effort from everyone involved. Congratulations! 🎉 🛻💨
Rich, huge congrats on this project! Was so great to meet you at Carlisle, thanks for supporting the Audi community!! Been a fan for a long while, thanks for the great content!
I didn't think I've ever said this about any vehicle ever, and it still feels odd, but I think you should paint it yellow. This is a legendary build, the engineers over at Cat are likely very proud, yellow with black trim.
👎 Not yellow....at least not that much yellow. Think it def. should have the Cat yellow as an accent/complimentary color for sure tho! Black w\ yellow would look sweet👍💛🖤 The factory OBS two tone paint jobs on this era trucks(Blk\yel\blk) does look really good👌⬛🟨⬛👍. Anyways the truck is looking great Rich @DebossGarage. I agree I'd absolutely love this truck also! 💛🛠️ Can't wait to see it 💯% done & all buttoned up. Its almost there Man, just a few little trim pieces, etc to do. That KR interior is 🔥, I love that leather the best, looks so soft! 👍😆🛠️🇨🇦🍁 Keep it filthy!
Instead of painting in over the winter, may I suggest you look into getting a "wrap" for it. The cost will be less, and there's more options with the wrap. You can incorporate logos and stripes, and so forth on a custom wrap.
This is exactly why I wish these big industrial boys... Case, John Deer, Cat, international, etc... would build a full size pickup for working purposes or for the the non commercial market. Doesnt need to be all fancy, just heavy duty functional!!!
Sir i am at awe with your build and stay power to see it through all the way. I came across your build and was glued to all the videos on all your builds. Hats off to you, just simply amazing.
Great work. I followed this early in the build and lost track of it somewhere. Now I have to go back in time to fill in the gaps I've missed, because this truck turned out way nicer than I imagined. For a bunch of moose jockeys, I'm really impressed with the builds I see from the Great White North. Seriously though, great work.
Rich, I have a 99 7.3 powerstroke with the hydroboost I added archoil to mine as directed after a fresh flush night and day difference. 3.2 oz per quart for the system I added 6 oz archoil to the power steering system within 100km the loud whining noise I was accustomed to was completely gone. I'm not a big brand pusher but Archoil in the 7.3 oil and powersteering/hydroboost system is noticeable! As always love your content.
I like very much that it´s not rolling coal. That´s very, very nice even with tune. Seems like a very nice and happy Kitty. Congrats!Wow, has it really been three years? And please keep the white color. It´s plain and simple. I like it a lot. The truck is awsome in itself, it doesn´t need a "lookatme" colour.
im slowly building up parts for my truck. i use it for work so maintenance is always eating at the savings but piece by piece its getting better. you constantly inspire me to "figure it out", you make things work, and always give it your best. Please never stop what you do.
I have to say this is one of the coolest builds I've ever seen. I can't count the number of times I've heard someone talk about wishing they could combine old and new the way this truck does. Awesome job!!
I work at Ford and we use the friction modifier designed for limited slip diffs to solve the whining. Just pour a bottle in and always solves it. We obviously use the motor craft friction modifier. My 96 was whining and it solved it 2 years ago and all is still good.
drove a 3126 box truck for a while delivering stuff for my work, those motors are fairly stout as is. cant imagine how capable it is with the tune, and the overall build is super slick, inside and out. great job!
Doing that shackle reversal on those trucks make them ride and handle so much better. It puts the shackles at the back of the springs where they should be.
So my superduty 7.3 made 200ish at factory, making 300 ish (all to the ground) now. At 300 it has bitchslapped any trailer I’ve towed up to a 21,000 lb trailer. If you’re making 330, and comparing that to the 3126 high torque dyno sheets… that thing should make short work of anything you latch onto. Love the build rich! 😊 HEUI noises make for an epic soundtrack.
Nice job. I just finished spending three years shoving a Cummins ISM and a 13 speed road ranger in my motorhome. I have the same smile on my face going through the gears after looking forward to it for so long. I am on the other end of Canada.
I totally agree, after all the work you’ve done it just deserves a fresh coat of paint, and maybe a simple pinstripe or something to break up all that real estate 👍
Nice build. I wish I had the time to build my own truck. I'd go with this same CAT in a 2007 F-350. That way you get the built in trailer factory brake controller, coil front suspension, larger frame, etc.
If you don't mind me asking, what size are the tires and rims on your pickup? As a Ford man for over half a century, I have to say that is one of the very nicest pickups I've ever seen, and an incredible build. May God continue to bless you brother!
Such a cool build, congrats on finishing the truck !!! Besides odds and ends, it runs and drives , seems to pull really well. Those older Fords are such a great looking truck , Awesome content as always , keep it up man !! 👍
A friend swapped a commercial 7.3 diesel into a f350 that had a ford 7.3 in it years ago. The thing was a monster. They are not the same motor. I can’t remember how much power he was making but it was absurdly fast.
I love this build especially Caterpillar 3126 F350 with a sleeveless engine like the 5.9 liter cummins glad you got this classic Ford truck towing a car hauler not bad considering it pulls great
I questioned your use of ready rod on the air tank but I should have just been complimenting the insane amount of planning and work that has gone into building this amazing truck.
I stinking love this build, Rich!! It gets me excited to work on my 95 1/2 ton. Please look into doing an 05+ super duty axle swap please!! You would be much happier with the front coils and better turning radius!
just love seeing someone else who just finds a way to make it all work and in true fashion less than two days from a trip great vids and inspiriational content man keep it up
Finding out about the atmospheric pressure sensor might be a big reveal in setting my SUV up to run harder than it does now it's old. Always a good video when I learn something useful.
For some, the greasiness of McDonald's hash browns is part of their charm. It adds a certain indulgence and decadence to the breakfast experience. It's like treating yourself to a guilty pleasure once in a while. However, for others who prefer a cleaner and less greasy meal, it might be necessary to explore alternative options or modify their order to suit their preferences.
Great videos ....I love to watch the progression as the truck evolves into a sweet machine. As much as I would love to do something of the same sort there are just too many skills I don't have that I would bog down on the project . SO I've done the same type of thing but with an abandoned home in the mountains that I bought at auction. It's taken me 3 years to rebuild (health issue delays.) But now that it 95% complete it is a joy to live in.
It sounds great! Love the sound of CAT engines. I’ve driven 3126B, 3406E and C15 and like them much better than the Cummins and DT466 I’ve also driven. I’m used to that lower RPM shifting now too. Takes a bit of adjustment when I jump in a highway tractor with a Cummins. Lol.
We had a little hole in our trailer too. Just cut a square patch out of some sheet metal, squirt on some RTV around it; put your patch in a diamond shape and rivot it over the hole. It's looks perfectly fine, as if it belongs there; like some kind of 'hazard" sign or something. You won't even notice it again.
THAT LONG WHEEL BASE DEFINITELY HELPS WITH RIDE QUALITY BUT IM SHOCKED HOW QUITE IT IS AND YOU HAVENT TOUCHED THE DOOR SEALS WHICH ARE USUALLY SHOT. MY DAD HAD TWO OF THESE BACK IN THE DAY..GRANTED IT DIDNT HAVE THE CAT ENGINE BUT I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE CAME FROM THE FACTORY BUT IF THEY DID, IT WOULD COST WHAT THE NEW TRUCKS COST.
This truck is probably the peak for pickups its comfortable without being a Lincoln Town car inside and the engine is all mechanical that is over built and solid axles, If I had to buy one truck forever this is it.
I cut my teeth working on these things and the old 3116 topkicks, i always wondered about the idea of putting one in a pickup, figured it would last forever if nothing else. Pretty cool that someone let the intrusive thoughts win and tried it. And such tidy execution.
might have been said already but after you degrease the part before powdering, you need to outgas it by baking it before the powder is coated. Probably save you some redo's in the future, nice build!
Greetings from Texas! We have a 98 Tacoma work truck hopefully mating a passat BHW up to the a43d so would appreciate advice regarding the rated torque limit since I cant seem to find it. But, that wont be till this fall, and I was bored and researching possible post-2025 projects (end of emissions here, new law) and stumbled across the 2026 Cummins X10. After seeing the F-350, would be sick to see y'all put one of those in something contemporary and keep it emissions-compliant, even just for fun to comment on the state of the industry
Dope. I got 2 of these engines on my crane barge one is for the hydraulic pumps for the swing system and one is for our spud winch on deck they are awsome.
I recently switched my OM603 over to T6 after I developed a lifter tick sitting over the winter. Ran two cans of liquimoly engine flush and filled it with T6, she's purring like a dream with 503,000km on the clock!
Study up on your kitty and the safety sensers. Some temps are critical enough to have the CPU override manual control to relieve engine damage. I was a 3406 e fan!
Rich we have had two of the 21,000 Hijacker 5th wheel hitches and were very pleased with them. Used them for our cattle and flat deck trailers. If James doesn’t give it up, check them out.
If powdercoating letters again i would hang them on some welding wire so hanging down. Then bake that way. Will get better coverage and finish. As usual builds are brill.
If the big 3 build them like this they would put themselves out of business. Excellent build!!!!
Thank you man
I was gonna point out a truck from the dealer like this would be over $100K. But, a new king ranch 4x4 diesel like this is already $100k.
It’s a shame they started chasing horsepower and low cost over durable engines.
Yep, this build has been great.
i believe that our 99 7.3 is exactly that. built for eternity. Our truck will never rust here in georgia, and it just now has 260k miles on it. all it does is tow our camper to 10 Nascar race weekends a year. it will do that till the end of time, or at least till the end of my time. i tow at 70-75 mph, getting 10 miles per gallon, it does that 100% stock. no reason to boost it to 300 or 400 horse. Just not needed.

That really is a sweet truck! I'm a die-hard GM guy, but I have always liked this body style, Ford.

I bet he could get 70 or 80 grand for it once it's buttoned up but I don't think I would ever sell such a sweet rig.
I'll bet he could get more than 100k for it. Some guys go nuts over Cat stuff and old trucks
Levi Duff yeah its basically a brand new better version OBS truck. It's probably worth 100k. People pay that for new trucks that haven't had all their problems worked out like Rich has done with his truck. It's somewhat famous also so that might help the value also
Only way it could be better is with a 400 cummins in front of that Allison transmission in that body
@@Celician83 i bet you would notice a 3000 pound engine in that size truck.

I'm seriously jealous. Would die for a build like that. Great series and love the truck. Interior is amazing as well. Nice job.
Thank you
Awesome build, turned out great. Thats a truck you never sell. You know a diesel is tuned properly when it doesnt roll coal.
Exactly
Words taken straight from the gospel. Preach it, friend!
My buddy is a diesel tech and he calls that black smoke "unused horsepower".
@@jwszewczyk because it is its unburnt fuel its crazy how many people roll coal and think there actually doing anything but looking dumb
@@TylerDuysen Exactly its dumb and a total waste of money.
You built the coolest truck man, I'm a huge cummins fan but the cat swap is a very cool twist from what alot of people are doing currently!
I've done 1/2 dozen cummins swaps. TIme for something different
@DEBOSSGARAGE very cool, I've just completed my first swap mercedes om617 in to my wife's 86 toyota pickup its my small victory haha

They have and they weren't that good. Turns out when you work with them everyday yeah you still want comfort.
What a great ep - running, and towing! Have a fun summer of love with the f-tree kitty!

And please keep the white color. It´s plain and simple. I like it a lot. The truck is awsome in itself, it doesn´t need a "lookatme" colour.
That's a sweet rig. I expect the Cat engine to last a long time. My rollback has a 3126 with 500k miles, still running strong as it should.
Man such a sweet truck. Pass that baby down through the family. That thing could easily go three or four generations into the future.

Fix the hole in the trailer by cutting it out to fit a 12 and 120 volt and air outlet.
Best comment today. Thanks man
It sounds great! Love the sound of CAT engines. I’ve driven 3126B, 3406E and C15 and like them much better than the Cummins and DT466 I’ve also driven. I’m used to that lower RPM shifting now too. Takes a bit of adjustment when I jump in a highway tractor with a Cummins. Lol.
Huh they shift at about the same exact rpms. 3116s and 3126s love to Rev
I absolutely love this truck! Seeing it get built and finished motivated me to finish my project!
Outstanding build and rig. Sounds so sweet and runs clean.
Dang Rich, I'm MAD jealous of this truck. She's not perfect, but damn close! Thanks for posting these, following this build was very enjoyable!
We had a little hole in our trailer too. Just cut a square patch out of some sheet metal, squirt on some RTV around it; put your patch in a diamond shape and rivot it over the hole. It's looks perfectly fine, as if it belongs there; like some kind of 'hazard" sign or something. You won't even notice it again.
I ran Ford in the bush for over 20 years, wish we had the option for that drive train! Sweet👍

Been watching this build from the start. What a work of art buddy. Congratulations!!
i watched this 69,420 times in a row and can confirm, it is a certified DEBOSS Classic!
This has been one of the best builds out they its a real credit to you and your skills
Nothing like the sound of a Cat

Awesome. I always ran T4 in my stuff but happy that I have something nice enough to deserve T6. The Silverado will get T6 too
Pretty awesome!, but you need to put a lock on that tailgate since you bolted the letters on the will just take the whole gate 🤣🤣
This is my favorite truck on the internet and it's not even close. And it's still not fully done.
Loved the build. Great to meet you in PA. I was driving a black Ur-quattro.

Rich we have had two of the 21,000 Hijacker 5th wheel hitches and were very pleased with them. Used them for our cattle and flat deck trailers. If James doesn’t give it up, check them out.
That truck is amazing. That stearing wheel would drive me insane with a 6 hour trip ahead
I'd love to do the alignment on that truck for ya! Great build! Beautiful truck!
COSTA RICA ...VERY NICE WORK IN THE SUPER DUTY...THIS FORD MODEL IS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND WITH THE CATERPILLAR IT SHOULD WALK VERY TASTY.
I think white and gold stripe on the bottom like the newer king ranches would look sick
One heck of a build Rich, your talent is sure showing on this build.
Thank you very much
Easily the coolest truck build I've seen for an OBS zero question
This was one of my favorite series on youtube of all time
Love that truck. You are such a talented fabricator/mechanic!
I love this monster!!!! You know the CAT diesels sound so beautiful!!!!!
Absolutely awesome rich. This is my favorite build and intune in everytime you post it
i love it. Fill it with grease. I do the same but I use marine grease. Salty Michigan roads!!
If powdercoating letters again i would hang them on some welding wire so hanging down. Then bake that way. Will get better coverage and finish. As usual builds are brill.
