POWERNATION I just inherited my grampas 55 f100 and its going to need a lot of work Im good working on cars but I doubt I have all the tools and know how to be able to do the truck any justice... I think ill start saving up and maybe you guys can do the restoration if you guys are interested.
@@MARTINLOCZ this was 10 years ago,to pay someone else to do the restoration would be $50,000+
If y’all went with a big block NA I bet it would have been $90,000 truck.
Third
Beautiful truck lots and lots of power but nothing sounds better than a V-8 . Just cannot replace the great sound of the V-8 Engine.
Looks good just wish it had side mirrors
I knew something wasn't right... Lol
ya it's what i notice too.
Wait what no side mirrors, no indicators and wipers. I guess the owner will not be driving it a lot
Either way it's just gonna sit in a garage
ya i notice them too.why?no stop lights either,how's that..
you dont buy this to deliver pizza
Excellent build boys, great work, well done💯
Why would you waste such a great build with an ecoduece?
someone got a great deal; there's probably more than 57k in labor alone.
Yes, exactly the same thing I was thinking.
Guys you did an excellent job, the color was the best I've ever seen
I am Brazilian and I want God to always bless this work of yours, a big hug
Well, just got recommended this video, and I was like "huh, that truck looks familiar". Well 2 nights ago my very small town in south carolina had a summer concert, and some old vehicles showed up. Well, sure enough that exact truck and man showed up, and I'm just now realizing that it's the same one!
Shut up
Sharp truck, but you lost me at “V-6 EcoBoost”. 😕👎🏻
The Ford GT Lemans supercar has a v-6 eco boost. 647 hp twin turbo. So yea, you dont know wth you're talking about.
Truth Xposed LMAO! Twin turbos and only 600hp? 😂😂😂 A 5.0 Coyote V-8 that’s naturally aspirated can achieve that damn near factory. 😂
@@glockfreak1973 Its the exact same motor that's in the Ford Gt Lemans. Nuff said
@@glockfreak1973 The v-6 647 hp Ford GT does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. 😁
Truth Xposed I don’t give a shit what it’s in. If your excited about a twin turbo V-6 that’s only producing 600hp, then your an idiot. The Ford GT is a super lightweight car. I could but a 4 cyl in it and it would be fast. Let’s compare apples to apples. If this truck had a 5.0L Coyote twin turbo instead of the EcoBoost, it would be pumping out over 1,000hp, so it would run circles around your little V-6. 😂
Why are you guys talking so weird?
Hell of a nice build, from the tires on up. But to me, something's missing on the outside of the truck--design wise. I don't know if it's side door mirrors, or some subtle graphics, but something to break up all that white. Good job guys!!
Agreed,lovely build but far too much White and the colour on the bonnet just does not look right . jmo
you need some fatter meats up front, those wheels and tires look way too small for those big wheel wells.
I think it looks really stupid sitting that low with those tires on it. That body style should be higher with bigger tires and a big ass push bumper on the front. Absolutely the wrong truck to build a lowrider.
You said it brother!
luckily someone disagreed $57,000 later and its owned by someone
Thank god sense prevailed and a Ford engine fit between the rails. I have a 3.5 Ecoboost in my SHO and its an awesome motor for a 6
Automatic gear just for kid girl,real man used manual gear 🤪
I love manuals but auto is qiucker shifting
Not my choice but still an outstanding job!
I like technology but IMO owning an old vehicle, even renewed, should be an analog experience. ECM's, EFI and sensors are essential to late model vehicles but I think they take away the nostalgic charm of these these old trucks. I'm not saying it should be kept stock - just pure analog and the old fashioned muscle of a throbbing V8.
Great looking truck and keeping it all Ford, I applaud you for that. Great job.
STREET RACER it was the colour that was the reason
@@bigboreracing356 Another reason could be that it has an EcoBoost engine in it with 2 turbos that can cost a fortune to repair.
@@bigboreracing356 No its because it has an EcoBoost engine but however had it been a Coyote V8 then it would probably sell like crazy.
Truck was stolen at $57k lol but they can still make it street legal with a side mirror and turn signals. THANKFULLY it didn't get a stupid V8 and used a modern drive line. I am so tired of seeing the same old crap V8 swaps. Its time to stop living with crap fuel mileage V8s when you can use more efficient means of making power and still drive it. (Yes I drive a V8 as a daily and love it, and its AWD so its even more fun) But for future builds can you guys stop with the V8's and get into modern engines and tech. If I see another Carb Im going to unsub.
Sorry boys but that V6 sounds horrible..Beautiful truck besides that though, keep it up!
D Yamariv that’s what I said, I would never be able to get use that sound coming from that truck. Ruined it like ford did the raptor with the v6 in my opinion.
Sounds like a 90s model Toyota Tacoma lol
All V6s do.
it sounds like ass. Sorry, just can’t bring myself to like the sounds it makes. The eco boost is not a good sounding v6. This truck needed a 5.0 coyote if they were gonna go modern Ford
Love the truck but why why a ecoboost it kill the cool factor of the truck..😭
Ecoboosts with a good tune ar street killers
The incessant fake double chuckles every huh-huhother sentence really needs to huh-stoh-hop.
Your front suspension is way too soft for those tight turns. But damn I love this truck.
I restored one in the 70's orginal drive train every nut and bolt truck looked brand new only got 1800 bucks for it. Man times have changed.
Dave Butler I wish i grew up back then
If I had the money I would put 100,00.00 for that beautiful restomod
They probably had that much in that truck and then some
Old ford trucks are highly desirable
I dont know if I'd call it a "2017 ford f100" but more of a rebodied "2011 mustang". Also, there are plenty of better "non-traditional" ford power plants. Take for instance a European diesel or an Australian i6.
WHY is it all builders, or people who sale nice trucks like to abuse the trucks ? I have a 1950 Chevrolet pick up with a 632 CI. I love the sound and everything in it too...
Yes love it the ford is for mie is the chevrolet my favorite in france love it the chevy yeeé
Jeeez...no wonder they wanted to get rid of it......😨😝😫😖😔
this is the only way anyone can drive these old trucks....my uncle has a 53 mercury truck and you cant drive that thing more than 1 block before your spinal cord snaps in half from such a rough ride...
I couldn't find a full parts break down with prices and vendors for this build. I currently have a '52 Ford F2 that I need to get going on but I'm worried that after thousands of dollars and years of hard work I will spend a lot more then it will ever be worth. So, I'm very curious to know how much was spent and how many hours it took to get the $57K at Mecum Auction.
other than no side mirrors, no indicators and wipers, nice truck but, spend that kind of money on black wheels . black wheels suck. #iloatheblackwheels
You couldn't give it to me . With that ecoboost Boat Anchor
tracycolorado ok boomer
tclott316 eco boost is trash. This truck needs a 460
Cracked Egg 460s are the definition of hot anchors.
Really only 60k? That gorgeous truck sold four only 60k?
If they used something like a Coyote motor or something like a Kasse Boss 9 top end on a Ford 460 instead of that crappy Ecoboost that would add significantly to it. The paint while nicely applied could have held it back. Especially the random black part in the hood. And while a stick is fun this is a cruiser not a muscle or pony car. Most would prefer an AOD transmission cruise. When building a custom the parts used are sometimes more important than the build itself. No matter how nice it looks if you don't have the underpinnings right it won't being a major packet. And just not the right buyers in the audience doesn't help.
Well if it had a big block in it with the 5 speed i bet it would of done better... No one really wants a 6 cylinder in a old truck like that...
Lose money at that price 😯
57 G
How could you downplay the coyote with an ecoboost
Dang Awesome truck 😎!!!!
Needs seats with lateral support, harnesses, and heavier springs in the front.
Yep. Those nissan Altima seats look like shit. They always do something stupid.
Or maybe just some seat-belts for the absolute minimum?
So we are not seeing either of you guys labor.
An absolutely beautiful truck, and it goes for 60k. Should’ve went for at least 100k or more
Yes, and they're pretending like it was a good result, but the truth is they took a substantial loss on this truck.
Wrong paint. Wrong drivetrain. Gets you a wrong hammer price.
If it was a 55 big window it would habe gone for way more
Kevin Wiltshire They didn’t make a big window until 56!
Great job guys! Proud of ya!
Sorry, sounds pathetic.
Stance looks bit weird from back
Nothing spion... Are you forget ... Boss
The sound of the engine comes up short. But hey, that's just me.
We did this on a shoe string budget of 35K...
Not including labor of course.
Found most of these parts laying around the house
Eco boost $57K....hahahaha
Beautiful truck, deserves a nice sounding V-8
Ol School 👊🇺🇸
You got that right. Or at least a coyote if they were dead set on a new engine
@@DreamHachi I totally agree brother
Too bad nobody remembers Ryan work...
Wouldn’t drive this without shoulder strap seatbelts....Like how could you miss that...Cool truck though!
I was in love till I saw and heard the v6. I am disappoint.
Bryan L it sounds like there driving a 90s model Toyota Tacoma around when he punches it lol
and a EcoBoost, not even a good v6 should have just gone with the coyote in my opinion more reliable horsepower.
@@bigboreracing356 stock vs stock it won't.
There is a group of people who feel the opposite about the V8 and want something different that’s why the ecoboost was used. That’s supposed to be what makes the car culture so cool we can accept everyone’s taste it’s cool to have something different it’s still fas as hell and will be a burn out monster with all that low end torque
Could of dropped a turbocharged 5.0 in it got at least 10k more and spent less money doing it.
nice truck
Wish I had the money to go do stuff like that. My business ain't flourishing enough to get me their.😏
You definitely dropped the ball on the differential width! The rear wheels look like crap! Should have run a narrowed diff and wheels with some dish.
no wipers, no mirrors?
After all that work and you don't install a shoulder strap seat belt.....I would walk away.
All that, then put a damn ecoboost motor in it. I couldn’t get use to hearing that, I would have put a 5.0 in it don’t care if a bunch of people do it. I would not wanna listen to a Ecoboost motor in a ole ford pickup
eco boost was developed by ford racing formula 1,
Gfx Grafix an I still want a v8, I couldn’t get use to that sound. it’s just not a V8. Never said the motor wasn’t good or didn’t have power
Gfx Grafix it’s sound like there driving around a 90s model Toyota Tacoma 😂
personally i would go for the small block 350 set up,I agree nothing beats the sound of a v8 especially in a truck.But we all want gas mileage right?
Eh it’s something different. Put a coyote in your 55’ then
If you were doing a new frame couldn't you have just dropped the body on to a crown vic?
So Jerremy didnt do to nice of a job on the body. Did he let you guys know that before hand?
If he lost money he needed cash.
Honestly surprised but no surprised at the same time that it only brought 57k
Alan is really good people and you should have seen his blazer, good stuff guys as always.
That weed eater V6 sound fits the truck must of those trucks came with a 6 cilinder motor, I'm not a fan of restomods but I like this one, it's still like original with the same type of power plant but modern 👍 this one is cool 😎I'd use this truck to work and haul some stuff around with it it'll be fun to get some work done with that truck
Gerardo Mendoza still could get some with a small v8 an like you said it sounds like a weed eater. I would never get use to that sound coming from that truck.
@@brianproffitt7263 yeah you could get the Flathead V8 in those I think the same one from the Ford Mercury, if it was mi project I'd put a Flathead V8 in it
@@brianproffitt7263 Those trucks in 55 came with a 292 overhead valve v8, I owned one back in the early 70s, the one vehicle, I wish I had not let go of.
@@gerardomendoza9688 No, the flat head was over in 52, that truck in 55, would have come with the 292 overhead valve v8. I owned one in the early 70s, the one I should have never let go.
@@BkGreg yah I've seen those on 50s thunder birds I think those are called Y block if I'm not mistaking
the cc says I melty instead of I'm LT
Absolute beauty of a truck.
Good call. I couldn't imagine giving that place $15 ,grand to sell it.
its said no reserve seller pays 5%. 5% of $57G = $2850. where did you get $15g?
@@krusher74 it said buyer pays %10 percent commission on top of the %5 seller fee. Math still doesn't come out to Randy's $15k though. I'm coming up with $8550. Still not a bad profit for Mecum for the thing being on stage for what, like 10-15 minutes maybe? Mecum has to be making fat bucks. Imagine what they make in that same 10-15 minutes for the multi-million dollar cars that run across that stage...
So put money to buy new motor n transmission is not worth it buy used
FORD FORD 100? You mean f-100 or ford 100 but not a ford ford 100.
looks awesome guy great work
It's not ur truck anyway and it cost u nothing to build
I can appreciate wanting to go with a V6 EcoBoost to be different, but had it been a V8, it would have sold for at least $10 grand more. Still, an outstanding build!
@@bigboreracing356 crate 572 will do
@@bigboreracing356 Big block CHEVY makes everything cookie cutter.
A 427 SOHC Cammer V8 would've been better.
@@lukasgarage956 What about the almighty 427 SOHC Cammer V8.
The only Ford truck I dig. Badass truck
The real question is did he find the c10?
Sweet build! Good job guys.
Do you have key fob type access to the doors, when the truck is locked?
So mecum make over $8k just for selling
What a beauty! Where can I get one just like that?
V6 😭😭😭😭😭😭👎👎👎👎
not a ford fan but this not a bad looking truck
Still not complete, got no side mirrors
I just want to know a round about figure, of how much money was put into the build...
A build like this, well over 100k
I wish I could find this for sale now
You guys absolutely blew it the minute you opened the hood and showed the piece of crap 💩 eco boost. A truck like that deserves big nasty V8 power.
Nothing against diesel but I have to agree. It's not the number of cylinders either, I would have preferred a 12 valve Cummings, for gasoline I would have preferred a big block Ford.
@@bigboreracing356 I was thinking the same thing but you can get about the same power from a good big block Ford if you use the right parts. A stroked out 460 with aluminum heads and a nice EFI system would probably be my choice.
@@bigboreracing356 why would you want to down grade this truck by putting a big block chebby in it???...and i think its on this channel were they built a big block chevy and a big block ford..the ford is 14 cubes smaller..yet made 4 hp more then the big block chevy
@@bigboreracing356 never raced one,,,why would i????..i am a diehard ford guy...sounds like you have been beat by a few bbf's though
@@bigboreracing356 John Kasse top end on a Ford 460 would be a pretty sweet rig. Or a Boss Nine crate engine.
Probably have twice that into it.
almost sounds like a Cummings
A few more ads,, wouldnt need the content.
That poor poor Truck
Now he needs to get that $500 toon to really unleash that Eco beast
Nice truck
Excellent job
Gooood
Precious
Truck looks great and like it even more with the twin turbo. Great work.
Wheres the rear view
Looks awesome guys.
Ehhh the ecoboost v6 ruined it for me
Somehow I doubt that it matters what you think. I have a feeling you weren't there with $60k cash in your pocket anyway, lol
Jimmy Jennings no it doesn’t matter what I think. I don’t like the v6...that’s why I bought a 66 with a Coyote and tremec 6 speed. But I hope you feel better now
how can you open the door when you close the doorwindow?
Probably has a remote door opener .
@@fordnut4914 but where is the puller
@@HK-redbike it probably pops out enough to just get fingers between the door and body that be my guess
