I was not prepared for the level of quality and craftsmanship put in. I figured this would be some dude in his backyard jerryrigging everything. But this was clean and professional. Great job!
This is one of those epic builds you may notice at a show from distance….nice OBS Ford, rare crew cab…nice stance and paint. The closer you get, as you take in more and more details….big and small…the amount work skill is just amazing.
Such amazing craft and skill in this build dude. Like, talk about "built not bought". I hope someday to have a shop as well equipped so I can do this kind of work. Amazing! Why don't they teach this stuff in schools anymore?!
@@youvebeenspookedbecause the government doesn't care about stuff like this. Actually they probably hate it. All they want to do is indoctrinate kids and turn them into liberals before they even know their colors.
The level of craftsmanship put into this truck is among the best I've seen! I think this truck deserves a spot in SEMA imo. It literally looks as if Ford built this as a generation progression collab with CAT. Truely amazing to see.
I'd agree with this truck going to SEMA it's a 1 of a kind build and it ain't clapped I wish I could see it in person I have a feeling that cameras don't do justice to the detail on this truck
Reminds me of my Dad. He could fix anything and no sloppy job. He could work on German, English, Italian, and Japanese cars. He always said the Japanese cars were the nicest to work on. He said the English and Italians can not make cars and must have been drunk when they designed a car. Germans were good and over engineered their cars. But in any case he passed away in 1989 and I miss that man a lot. He had 4 trades to his name and could do anything and do it well. Good job guys you take me back to a good time in my life, and your work is excellent.
I hear you loud and clear. My dad was the same. A machinist, welder, engine builder, hydraulic master and mechanic. Were his specialty’s. But could also frame,plumb,wire………….. .. honestly could do any thing. I miss my dad as well.
Yes men from a bygone era.... artisans. Intelligent men who chose to stay members of the working class. These days they are encouraged to degrees in malarky from a nonsense university and spend their lives pivoting around key deliverables in this space moving forward.
I was telling my 66 year old father and proud life long trucker about this truck and he says…….why the hell would he use a 3126, that’s not much of a motor? 🤣 I bet it feels like way more of a motor in a f350 than it does in semi trucks! Love this build brother 👍
I had a 93 Ford F250, with a 7.3 diesel. It was the best truck I ever owned. Only wish I had the shop, time, money and knowledge to do something like that. Bravo Zulu!
A friend's dad watched this , he's a retired Millwright, and he said "That guy would be the best guy in the shop, he can do almost everything, he's smart and got a big shop full of tools and anything you'd need. He has money for any parts, right away. If you tried the same thing it would take you forever."
I am just blow away at the attention to detail taking everything apart cleaning it building it back better. Not just fix it and maker work. Absolutely incredible work sir.
Video is less than 30 minutes long and how can you get the entire job done in 30 minutes. I see them speed walking and working faster than what a normal human can work.
This guy is the "BOMB" Mechanic knowing all facets of the build like each was his specialty. He does it like an excited teenager on his first car. Truly amazing, maybe the best TH-cam video I have seen.
There is a scene in the original series where you start the engine for the first time. The look on your face when it actually came to life and started running was priceless and I will never forget the way you looked. In my mind I was saying it's alive it's alive.
Just outstanding. I am a contractor and I felt the blood, sweat, and tears these guys went through to do this. Probably the best restoration/swap I've seen.
Udder disappointment. Via the title, I was promised 30 minutes of the best content available on TH-cam. However, after 27:22 of my time I was left to sit and think...I try everyday to work on my own stuff, being resourceful and reusing stuff when i can, buying new when i can. You are a true inspiration. I don't think i can ever repay you, thank you again, from Texas.
Prayers that this teaching encourages Young ones to seek Mentors. This is so spectacular Your time and organization Professionalism! Very Rad darlin’ You need to put in the corner of screen the real hours that are involved when Pride in your work Is justified . Many Blessings Nothing but admiration .
The absolute amount of over-engineering/re-rigging to make everything fit together and work the way you made it is just amazing. Even upgrading the internal trim and especially the LCD instrument panel. Just Minty all around
It's a franken truck, nothing on it is original now. An amazing amount of work put into it. I would bet most people don't realize just how much went into this truck. Very nice work, easy to see the passion put into it.
Definitely a “frankentruck” . No disrespect , but why update the dash , seats , etc . And keep the original door panels . Updating the door panels would’ve been the cherry on top !. My ocd couldn’t handle that interior but the build is amazing mechanically !
Massive amount of respect. How refreshing to watch true craftsmanship across disciplines and not have to deal with some egotistical "know-it-all" blabbing the entire time. Great video! Even better work on the truck!
An awesome old school looking Ford truck hiding something way more awesome than an actual brand new Ford truck.This was quite an investment in every way and I can't imagine the satisfaction you felt when you drove it for the first time, fully completed. Congrats to you, Sr! I loved it!
A great Montage of the build with a good accompaniment of music. I would also say that it has to be one of if not the best real guy builds on the net. No wonder Edison teamed up with you for their medium / light duty prototypes.
For years I wanted a F-250 Super Duty crew cab, 4wd, converted to hydrogen fuel cell technology. No longer. Now it is this truck. My daughter has one still with the 7.3L Diesel but I want the Edison/DeBoss Caterpillar conversion! Thanks Rich! Cheers from Texas.
The level of craftsmanship in that truck is something to behold. I can’t think of anything I would want more than another one of those. Absolutely amazing. The video was an absolute joy to watch. You guys nailed it.
crazy motor swap, I mean engine swap, I mean, great job my dude, thank you for filming this all for us. really really well done on all fronts, mad impressive to be able to hone a block and do all this work in house, CNC pretty parts even, AND film it all, and edit the video... very impressive man. mad respect! hope she has another million miles in er~!
This is one of my favorite builds ever and I loved watching as you guys went through it, but thank you for doing this time lapse version as well. Really puts the whole thing into perspective
Hi from Drummondville in Québec, I watch since many years your lot of project and every time it's awesome. I've started a project in 2018 to put a John Deere diesel engine 3.9L in my Jeep JKU and according to me I will finish it this summer. Your a great source of inspiration, you make a great job!!!
You have to really love a vehicle to put that much effort into it! Looks like a fun project and a clean- thought out job. Not one of those "stuff a Cummins in it and blast exhaust out the hood" nut jobs!
Nice, just got done watching the 4.5 Cummins teardown video on DGHD and now this pops up...good timing, I have a bunch of stuff to do and now I can procrastinate a bit longer! lol
This is the move right here! Ain’t nothing like building your own vehicle! Mad respect to this guy! Nothing in this world like building your own custom truck! If you aren’t happy with the end product then it wasn’t your idea to start with!
I can remember our job site mechanic, he was a genius! He had a 1986 (I think) Ford F250 and he did this Cat swap one summer. It was really a good toy for him he spent a lot of time on that rig, it was nice!
Thats not just a motor swap, thats a complete from the ground up hand built truck. Absolutely incredible. I can't even fathom the amount of knowledge and skill that took.
I'm not kidding when i say this.. working on things like this is art. Putting together the motor.. art.. all the fab.. the finished product.. its art. Id rather look at this than a Picasso
My father was a Field Service mechanic for a CAT dealership and traveled across 3 states supporting CAT customers for 35 years in field trucks powered by CAT 3208s his favorite motor. One of his favorite engine swaps he found out about was a 3208 swapped into a F350 back in the 80s I think it was featured in Popular Mechanics…
There's no words to say how amazing this is... Thath's some top tier craftmanship level. Just WOW ! Keep on going, and huge congratulations on that wholesome piece of work
the amount of work is gigantic, but the result is up to the work done this is one of the most resulted and cleanest builds i've ever seen, its incredible
I have always wondered how one person can have such knowledge, craftsmanship and ability to know a lot of everything and do anything with such ease…. I’m at a loss for words!!! Great job. JD, Retired Owner operator.
I watched this with a hard on the entire 30min How much would a build like this cost? People don't even realize the sheer amount of work this took.....I really appreciate that effort
My dad said to me, “if I had really gone to school well, I probably would have had a big workshop by now.” Hearing that, I became motivated to make my father's dream come true your work is extraordinary🤯🔥🔥
This dude is a professional at life. Seemingly infinite knowledge, money, time, and resources. I love everything about that truck. So cool so detailed, well done.👏👍
Man, you guys are the epitome of team work! You guys done such an amazing job with the project, it definitely shows that there is nothing y’all can’t do with a vehicle, and I mean nothing! Great video and work! 👏 Bravo!
Every time i feel like I have a big job ahead and get flustered pulling wrenches, im going to watch this video. Holy snappin crap that's a pile of awesome hard work and knowledge 👍👍.

Yeah, it just gets more complicated towards the end. Like fitting that wiring harness from hell.
Rare? Not sure where you get that. They're everywhere. Nothing special in terms of that. Sweet truck though.
3208 “fordapillar” f250 , built by Buddy Post , jackson wi in 1976 , THE ORIGINAL

This is one of the best restoration and modification projects I have seen
I was telling my 66 year old father and proud life long trucker about this truck and he says…….why the hell would he use a 3126, that’s not much of a motor? 🤣 I bet it feels like way more of a motor in a f350 than it does in semi trucks! Love this build brother 👍
He's a boomer
3126 is just as big a pile of crap as the other HPOP engines
@@AMechanicSomewhere it’s called maintenance as our buddy rich here has explained countless times
@@AMechanicSomewhere I’ll pretend my 7.3 power stroke loving heart didn’t hear you say that
I don't think 3126 was installed on semis only on medium duty trucks

IF I were to try this, I would probably be 6 to 9 MONTHS into the build and wondering IF I would ever get the wiring completed!
Millwright here. I agree. Dude is a force of his own. No way I'm even attempting to do all that wiring. LOL
Your dad is right sir!
ONLY WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS IS """TRULY REMARKABLE """"
I am just blow away at the attention to detail taking everything apart cleaning it building it back better. Not just fix it and maker work. Absolutely incredible work sir.
This is gotta be one of the coolest engines Swaps I've seen in a while. Badass
Ever
Video is less than 30 minutes long and how can you get the entire job done in 30 minutes. I see them speed walking and working faster than what a normal human can work.
you are saying the word badass( bá đạo), wow, why can google translate into my country's language so accurately.
This is my favorite internet build of all time,👍, thanks Rich, and thanks for sharing.
ME TOO!
This guy is the "BOMB" Mechanic knowing all facets of the build like each was his specialty. He does it like an excited teenager on his first car. Truly amazing, maybe the best TH-cam video I have seen.
Thank you!
I am completely stucked on this video !!! What a beatiful work !!! Hats off !!!
This whole build is more than just a little impressive! 😳👍
There is a scene in the original series where you start the engine for the first time. The look on your face when it
actually came to life and started running was priceless and I will never forget the way you looked. In my mind I
was saying it's alive it's alive.
Just outstanding. I am a contractor and I felt the blood, sweat, and tears these guys went through to do this. Probably the best restoration/swap I've seen.
Udder disappointment. Via the title, I was promised 30 minutes of the best content available on TH-cam.

The absolute amount of over-engineering/re-rigging to make everything fit together and work the way you made it is just amazing. Even upgrading the internal trim and especially the LCD instrument panel. Just Minty all around
The joy on your face Rich when it finally catches and starts.. you cheered.. I cheered… think everyone else cheered too!
I was waiting the whole video for that victory rumble!
It's a franken truck, nothing on it is original now. An amazing amount of work put into it. I would bet most people don't realize just how much went into this truck. Very nice work, easy to see the passion put into it.
Hey, those fenders are original! Lol jk, sick truck though, these guys are beyond talented.
I love the Franken truck cat 😊
I am blown away 👌👏 wow!!!
