Alright already, On-X Offroad, this is a no brainer. even if it's just the dog that gets the Golden Ticket
Cool a** build... I hope you get in to the #onXoffroad #wildcard!
Awesome build, love the lassie intro! i hope to build another FC someday, maybe a 677 next time!
HAHA, Thanks a lot Matt and team! That was fun making that intro with my dog. Your FC build was a great video series and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! You should absolutely do a 677 someday as your builds are always super entertaining and top notch.
That thing is sweet! Good luck.
Heck Yeah! I really appreciate the kind words Rudy! I am excited to see what you do with your build and for the potential opportunity to go head-to-head on the trail!
cool ride I can see it compete with the others .
LOVE IT !!!!!! This is THE best submission I've seen !!!! HOPING you get in there !!!!!!!!
Awesome! I am really glad to hear it Mike! Thank you for the great feedback and positive vibes!!
That's going to be nice! I like that you're keeping the D53 in the rear instead of just swapping straight to the D60, and it's cool that you're adding ABS.
Thank you Dave! I wasn't sure what the feedback on the D53 would be, but I am glad to hear positive thoughts so far! Part of my agenda is to also do some detailed measurements and/or 3D scanning of the internals in hopes that I can cross reference that to guts out of something more available to keep it running for years to come. Everyone seems to ditch it cause there just isn't much out there for parts and gear ratios. Nice! I am excited for the ABS too. it opens up all sorts of options for traction control, if I can figure out how to make it work!
Awesome
Heck yeah! Thanks Ken!
I like it
Thanks Larry!
A buddy of mine had a 1960 FC 170, we scraped the original flat head six and swapped in a Ford 300 straight six with an Offenhauser duel port °360 intake, Holley four barrel & a split heddman header.
He painted it black with some high back bucket seats inside.
The truck had a nearly nine foot bed.
The whole thing turned out really nice.
Oddly enough some guy from Colorado paid my buddy a fairly large number $ for it.
The cab & bed were in considerably better shape than what you're starting out with, because it spent most of its original life in the California high desert 🏜
Rock on & good luck those are some really cool/unique ol pickups.
Plus your build is more ambitious & sophisticated than ours but we did it well over 25 years ago.
Thanks Dave! That sounds like an awesome build your buddy did! It also sounds very familiar too. The FC community is pretty small and I feel like I have seen that somewhere. I will for sure keep my eye out for it! Ah, that is awesome he was able to start from a desert Jeep. Good bones means it is still floating around here somewhere and in good shape. I do kind of wish I had less rot to start from, but this at least allows me to justify this invasive build as saving it from the scrap heap versus ruining a classic if it was in better shape.
