Noah is extremely pleasant to listen to. Knowledgeable as ever for hardly having a background in cars. Very nice episode, guys. Was never bored once.
That green and flat bronze looks great. I like that leather too. Sick build! 🔥
Man that color is awesome.
silverss onyoutube it takes an awesome ride to make it awesome. I've seen a Chevy Tahoe with the same color. It looked like crap the guy added some huge chrome rims.
ya i was thinking Forest Green Metallic like my old 91 GTA, but maybe a tad lighter? it's nice
JaKBaLL TV 91 GTA, sweet!
The green paint that turns purple in some light is ChromaFlair. It was a TVR paint option 15 years ago
Fraser Wright thank you for the history lesson. I genuinely didn’t realize that those TVRs actually came like that from factory. Lol
That's one of the best guests you've ever had. What an amazingly likeable guy and GORGEOUS truck. Got a '53 F-250 myself in original factory green. Thanks guys!
This guy is a perfectionist yet he seems so chill n genuine.. killer build
Those era Fords are the best looking trucks ever in my opinion. Great attention to detail on this build. Sounds just spectacular
That’s such a great piece. Pure Americana without being obvious. The build quality is obvious, the care and attention to detail is a world away from what I’d expect. It’s a thing of beauty.
the green and bronze combo made it really special..
Noah just seems so to the point of what he does, has done, and what he will be doing. This guy really has his **** together for a guy that his family weren't into cars. He's on target like the truck he's riding in. Great build.
This guy Noah Alexander is amazing. He's got both mechanicals and aesthetics down cold, and seems like a nice guy besides. Not particularly big on what they did with this truck, but they did it amazingly well.
Yeah. The wheels and overly slammed looked are awful, but it’s most beautiful beside that. I personally prefer that extremely paint stripped patina look on these (as if a ton of different metals are oxidizing on it).
I had a '53 F100 with a Ford 390 FE engine, C6 transmission and a 9" Ford rear differential with 3:50 gears. Great truck that I drove near everyday for 20+ years.
I love it . This is so nice. The one thing I would like to see is a little more rubber on the rims. That low profile rubber-band look on a classic doesn't look right to me personally.
Agreed
I think 15 inch wheels are gonna come back in a big way
Agreed. I am doing a 1949 truck resto mod, and will wind up spending a fortune to get modern but factory looking wheels and tires. I liked Jays comment regarding the steering column. I am the same way, keeping the original steering column and steering wheel.
AWESOME truck!....great build! This guy is unpretentious & honest about his work. His work ethic & desire to cultivate younger people to join in is admirable too. Would love to see more of his work!
Thanks Jay, keep showcasing talent like this!
You guys NAILED this 53.... that thing is a beautiful piece..... THUMBS WAY UP..... You can tell Jay liked this one.....LOL.....he drove it forever....GREAT JOB EVERYONE..... Nice one Jay!!!!!
It’s refreshing to see a ‘53 build instead of another ‘56. I like the ‘55 grill the best out of the ‘53 to ‘56 models , the fact that it still has mirrors and door handles as apposed to being shaved is a nice touch as well. I would have liked to see the undercarriage and the way the bed was floor was raised and mounted. Not a fan of the wheels, but it is a beautiful build none the less.
thats just because they cant find 56s anymore. .
21:50 Jay looks so natural behind the wheel of this truck, almost like he's off for a days work
Reminds me of my Uncle John, carpenter who wore the denim on denim and now has white hair.
This Noah guy is awesome, a true car guy.
Now i need to fix my damn horn.
The one thing I usually hate about modern hot rods, are the wheels and this is no exception. It’s only my personal taste but I just love the stock wheels on these old cars
Props to Ford's design studio. I remember the 1953 Ford F-150 when it was new, and the styling was clean and uncluttered and well ahead of its time.
Aufrichtig Forty when the show did a side profile of the truck..... I am damn near picked up my jaw from the floor. The fenders , the bed and the cab. Wow!
What a beauty!
I absolutely LOVE that paint job. What a pleasing color to the eyes. And mechanically it's a masterpiece.
Kudos to Noah 👍👍👍👍👍
An hour drive! Obviously Jay liked the truck and the conversation.
Builder: It looked like it came out of a pond, it had barnacles growing on it.
Jay: Did it run when you got it?
Jay has worked with entertainment "stars" for decades and he is used to not listening to what they are saying since they are not saying anything, actually.
@@StrangerHappened or was it humor...
I've fired a few boat V8s that went under so yeah they can still run if not locked up too bad depending.
I thought the same thing “it was under water” “so did it run?” 😂😁
Oh My Goodness!!!! My first car was a 54 Ford F-100. What memories.... I really enjoyed the Show of this truck.
To your surprise and mine is that My truck was emerald green in color and looked very much like this in color.
I had to sell it when in College (78) and have always wanted another one.
My hats off to Noah Alexzander - He really did the Truck proud. Thank for your show Jay..
I never comment on much of anything, but I enjoyed the hell out of this one. What a great build and you can tell how natural that was. Every so often one of these builders just comes across as insanely passionate and humble about their work.
PS, that volume is horrific...glad I'm not the only one. Cranked my laptop speakers and could barely hear it.
I love the idea of this truck. Great looking, custom and dependable. Decent hp with modern comfort. Its like a brand new modern truck but with the 50s look.
This is one of my favorite episodes. The guy who brought the truck is pretty neat.
Love the Truck! Great Show! I love the enthusiasm of the truck builder! Jay seems pumped as well! Homerun! Thanks for sharing!
Please can you allow captions in future episodes for the deaf and/or hard of hearing? Please like this comment so they can actually see this.
Agreed!
Absolutely yes, also because audio is not always great and in noisy places is kinda useful have captions
I don't even have hearing problems and this one gives me trouble. Sound mix is dreadful.
CLICK THE "CC".
Download the CZcams app and it should come with CC.
"Was it running when you got it?" If the dude took it out of a pond I dont think it'd be running Jay 🤣
LOL, he said it looked like it came out of a pond. But yeah.
Guy: it looked like it had barnacles growing out of it. Jay: but was it running? xD
absolutely beautiful truck, I love the subtle touches and as mentioned the matte bronze it goes damn well with the green paint. beautiful work!
I live and breathe GM but this is a gorgeous truck and one of the best looking vehicles Ford ever put on the road. Im also glad to see the top unchopped
Jay is not a collector. He is an adorer of cars. His excitement is somehow greater than all the other car shows with the possible exception of Calvin's Car Diary but he's in the UK with car specs the US can't have. (not that I'm able to have any of these cars quite yet!). Thank you again Mr. Leno!
Beautiful pickup. That green is perfect!
I really love that color and with the bronze 👌
I’m not really a Ford guy but these guys are due credit on this build. Beautiful truck
Jay great show, that’s the longest you’ve drove in quite a while. If you watch Noah’s show you can tell he is a genuine good guy and truly loves what he does and it shows in his builds. It is one of the few shows on Velocity that is worth watching. Velocity is going in a weird direction.
Please do a show with your white XK 120 roadster, I have asked a couple times, anybody else like to see that car, tell Jay!
That guy is just cool, relaxed and talks the talk, delighted his business is successful, I’m sure he’s worked for it the hard way
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those color choices. Such absolute beauty.
Personally, I would have gone with more "truck-like" wheels and tires, and had at least 6 inches of clearance, but other than that, .. Freakin' Awesome!
Man.. that startup and that idle.. I could listen to that all day. Perfection!
I love this truck. I think Mr. Noah did a fantastic job by putting the owners personal touches on it while still retaining the soul of ole '53. It looks new and it looks '53. Plus the Green with the "bronze" and the brown leather just look spectacular. Those seats really do look like they are the age of the truck but still fresh. I could almost smell the leather through my screen.
My dad and I built one of these! Painted in the SoCal White with the red scallops. 500 c.i. Caddy motor with an aggressive cam!Red and white tuck and roll with white carpet (against my wishes) . 3” collectors off the headers that dumped in front of the rear axle with the classic 2” chrome tips “T’d” off to the rear. People would be gobsmacked hearing the huge noise with little pipes. Went to Bonneville, mounted a 2x8 piece of wood to the front and push started a SoCal speedster!
Beautiful work... Another great episode, thanks Jay.
Beautiful, perfect truck! So glad it’s a manual too. It’s very often I see amazing old truck hot rods and it’s an automatic which disappoints.
Yes Jay Leno should run for president
That rig is spot on perfect man - props to the crew who made that happen
I love how this episode didn't end in the garage. It really seemed that Jay loved driving this truck
This guy does good work
I absolutely love this truck... The design, that color scheme... The builder seems really cool and knowledgeable too of course
This is one of my favorite trucks I loved watching this thing get built. Beautiful truck Noah! Thanks for featuring this build Jay!
The camera 🎥 reflection on the paint, super clear, super clean. Very well done.
Noah's shop does beautiful work! And I like his conscientious philosophy.
Wow! That is one gorgeous truck. The paint is awesome. My 1st vehicle was a 1953 f100. I think we paid $300.⁰⁰ for it in 1965. It was a work truck & it never looked anything like Noah's work of art. I painted it Bright Lime Green and we called it the "Green Hornet". Had a lot fun with that old truck. Again, beautiful job. Thanks Jay & Noah. 👍
Noah good job another great example of the work you and you shop does. I like how you guy's don't cut corners or compromise on your builds like most of the other car shows on TV.
used to have a 1979 F-100 Custom with a 302 loved it and drove it into the ground. Great truck.
I'm currently starting a 53' build and I saw this one on his show and I'm super inspired by it, they did a beautiful job. I hope mine turns out half as awesome.
Where are you at on your build?
my cousin has a candy apple red f100 he has had it since he was a teen his first car/truck. So many fond memories hanging out with him and using the truck!
Thanks to Jay and Classic Car Studio for inspiring my F-100 🔥
Great interview. Great build. Noah has an awesome philosophy and story. I wish the builder all the success.
Honestly I guess that is the most beautiful car I've ever seen! I'm not a car expert and normally I'm not a big pickup fan. But that beauty is just perfect. It's subtle, the color just stands out, the wheels, the details.... It's just a dream. I love the many car shows in television, and also watched it in Noah's show and stumbled upon this clip. Just have to say that I'm toatally in love with this build! ♥♥♥
I have watched all of Noah's shows. I am going to be in St Louis soon and planning on going to his shop.
Thank you Jay for having him and that beautiful 53 Ford on your show
How do I get my 56 f100 worked on😅
That is almost the Hunter Green my Dad had on his 1999 Ford 250. To the Truck you are featuring Jay---Beautiful!!! Simply Beautiful. My Grandpa moved out to Victoria, where I live, so difficult to see, I know, his was a hot Rod---good thing it was back then when Gas was still very affordable, his was Purple though. Not as nice, but just as nice for the period if you get my meaning. Merry Christmas. (Since you and Dave have retired, I never watch TV---Network TV anymore. Happy Days to you Sir!!)
Loving that Build, ESPECIALLY the sweet color! 👍⚡⚡
The shape looks weirded to be that low. I think it would look good lifted with normal wheels and rubber. The rest is beautiful 👍🏾
*THE MOST* beautiful green paint thanks to the shine.
The craftsmanship seems mind blowing, the lines being cut off from not chopping the roof tingling with my OCD, but still mind blown by the beautiful details on it
Keep rocking the Canadian tuxedo Jay! As always, excellent show.
Jay Leno gots that "AURA" about himself! It just radiates .... I would love to to meet and greet him!
Glad to see someone else into cars when nobody else in family into the hobby. Took him a lot less time to get into it than me. Wish there had been more outreach for those of us without a mechanic uncle. Thank God for CZcams today
i like that truck its dang sure sweet. i just went to a car show a couple months ago and there was a 49 chevy 1/2 ton that looked great but when i found out that no one has ever set in the seats it has never even been started and he never plans on letting anyone sit in the seat or start it. i just laughed at him and walked away. and whats sad is it was the best looking truck there. and when the votes was over i think he ended up with 100 volts out of over 20000 volts.and i'm sure he only got them because people didn't read what he wrote about it. it was one of them where the people that went to the show got to vote. and then they posted the results on a screen. i think he pulled his truck out the 2nd day and it was a 5 day show. but also every car show i have ever went to everything had to be able to start and drive under its own power.
great truck, love the green with the bronze highlights.
just a little too low for my taste.
great video again Jay.
Loved it jay.... super sweet color nice FORD
Loved this episode. The truck was beautiful. The camera shots and angles of the drive were amazing. And the communication between the dude and jay were overall good conversations
I'm not really into custom stuff but this one is amazing. It has character, class and a modern touch that is subtle. Nice one!
I LOVE everything about that truck! Except maybe the wheels.
Oh yeah?........Well don't DARE drive it around on all the REAL roads & streets found all over America. You'll destroy the underside completely.
Howabouthetruth People that jack thier trucks up are compensating for somthing... ;-)
All caps. That's good (dot dot dot x2) Makes it clear you're not a crackpot.
Truly Terrible wheels
@@fsouzajr Oh yeah, are you a designer? You guys complaining about the wheels are idiots...
I love that green!! Forest green has always been one of my favorite colors!
Same. And for strange I love tan with brown fenders. Earth tones are cool. But there are plenty who love wild colors and pearls, fades, all the customy paint. Variety man, it's the spice of life.
What a SWEET truck. I'm a huge fan of the early 50's Fords... Great powerplant with plenty of power for a truck that light.
The paint on this truck is absolutely stunning. You can see the reflections of the lights in the paint are perfect, it looks beautiful.
Some day, somebody's going to restore a fifties F100 to factory condition, and blow everybody's minds.
Daniel van Slooten only thing to do would be install a big back window kit, not many came with that option, google “1956 f100 big window” you will be in awe
I think it was Dennis Gage who had a fifties F-100 truck on his show. It had been in the family since new, and it was restored to original condition with the only addition being overdrive on the transmission. That truck wasn't seeing much hauling work. Very well done.
@@roundprairiedairy7006
Yes, '56 was the only year for the big window....for the mid fifties, that is.
Also, this truck may be a '53 but, it has a '55 grille.
I have a '53 Deluxe. All original.
Also a '62 big back window Uni-bed.
I did a 55 back in 78. Balanced a 223 6 and added an overdrive and used 15" radials and converted to 12 volt negative ground. 26 MPG. Stolen in 93.
@@RalphSampson... Also this has the earlier tail gate from a 48 - 51 or 52. I had a 53 Ford panel delivery until a couple of years ago with the flat V-8. I would like this one up higher and with bumpers, too vulnerable as is I think.
Nice truck nice color sounds awesome. But what about potholes? Can never drive that in Michigan.
That is a neat build. The colors are awesome... The green, bronze and brown it all goes and its pleasing to the eye. Love '53 Ford pick ups. Brings back memories of my dads pick up going up.
Finally a horn that works on a build so simple but always over looked.i dont know how many time ive seen Jay check the horn and nothing and then the excuses come pouring in LOL.every week i look forward to seeing a video from Jay Leno makes my always a little bit better.Thank you Jay.
GoGagets ! Would you please give my racing channel a Subscribe I have plenty of videos for you to enjoy
I just remembered, I have to hook up my windshield washer. I thought I was finished. I did hook up the horn. 😁
Looks like it drives really well. Feel like some sensibly sized 17" wheels would really help smooth the ride though
As always a great job Jay. Noah does your show proud
Jay and Noha communicated together on a common level which I found enjoyable
Awesome custom truck
Wow that is beautiful.... nice truck....😉😉😉😉👍👍👍👍🍻
I really like it it’s a very nice and beautful truck
The motor and exhaust on this truck sound fantastic! When Jay first turned over the motor and it came to life with a low mellow throaty sound I nearly creamed!
I LOVE 50s pick up trucks! the 53 Ford and the 56&57 Chevy are my favorites just classic styling and beautiful lines. I have always wanted one of these. I know I will not be able to afford one in this condition sadly. Hats off to Classic Car Studio on another stellar build!
Proper gearbox indeed!😎
maxxjett films what about your Lancia? You find it? lol I had a '02 STI like your Sir, nice cars
When Leno almost exactly guesses the horsepower, that's how you can tell a *really* experienced car guy hahaha
Only he didn't guess. He was told twice in the first 10 minutes. His dry sense of humour and the guy played along :-)
@@gregcpu Oh no! Now I feel like an idiot :) lol thanks for pointing this out!
I like the way that Noah Alexander is not trying to be a show off, but rather a straight forward guy. This is how it is Jay.......
These resto mods are works of art.
Now speed actually means going fast 😁
I would have to say you have a great life to be able to run some of the greatest vehicles in the world. I love the color of the truck. Hope you have a great day keep living life." The Farmer"
That rod looks amazing...i learn so much about American cars watching Leno...long may he continue..peace to ya.
I smiled the whole time watching this. Thanks! Pretty machine!
Dammit, I lost out on the "We use Wilwood brakes on all our cars" bingo! I didn't hear it.
haha, you're right! funny that i've become so accustomed to hearing it i assume it's a default feature.
Nice build, kept the classic lines and they did not cover the motor with a plastic shroud. It even has a carb!
It is getting time to drive the post war classics that are not resto-modded. They may be "dull" but a '49 Caddy with the new for the day, OHV motor would be worthy.
My best friend in 1971 had a '53 he bought for $300. Over the next 2 years he built it into one gorgeous truck. He repainted it the original Surf Green with stock steel wheels he painted red, with the original hub caps. After he beefed up the entire drive train, tranny, installed a 9 inch rear end, and modified the suspension he installed a rebuilt 427 medium riser. That truck looked good and was wicked fast. He won a lot of money with that truck after, well, you know, deserted street races at 2:00 am. RIP Dennis...
Absolutely stunning, really love trucks from this era
