Bob was a cool dude. Definitely earned the name of your channel on that one. Holy balls.
Ol bob is a dying breed. What a guy
You again earned your title, that really is a death trap
Ive always loved the Ford F1 and the visor just makes it so much cooler. Bob and his family sound like amazing people. Loved the teachable moments from him 💪🏻
Awesome video!! The world needs more Bobs!!!
I definitely want to see more with these two trucks
You definitely cannot learn enough from the older generations
Bob and everybody else there were so nice God bless them
Absolutely love my 86 Bullnose.
👍🏼👍🏼
You boys are nuts I love it keep it up
Thanks! We will haha
Bob is a typical old school tradesman and a wealth of knowledge that the young folk's can learn from. Great hospitality from them to help you guys. Just love all the vintage trucks from back then. Please show more on the build of the two Ford's.
I daily drive a 64 E100, so that's my favorite. Love these trucks as well, and really enjoyed your video 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
My favorite ford truck would be the 61-63 unibodys. Very interesting design on those.
‘86 Ford Bullnose is my favorite. First year for fuel injection and overdrive. Good power from the 302 and excellent reliability. An all around great truck. Had one with over 300k on it. Loved that pickup.
Great revive and drive. You guys got balls of steel!!
Right on! Thanks haha
You guys are Amazing Well Done
Appreciate that!
The 1950 ford f1 looks great me and my wife loves old antique autos we actually love them all the truck runs absolutely wonderful so keep saving them and keep bringing them back to life keep up the good work
Thanks!
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps your welcome
I like these "will it run and drive" videos. Thanks boys
Thanks! Glad you like it!
I love a good Franken-ride. Probably because I started with International. And for me, the Bump Side has always been my favorite. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite notifications to get. Keep up the good work fellas!
Glad to hear that! At least we’re doing something right, wish CZcams would push our videos a little more but guess we’ll have to keep fighting!
Good.job Nice Ford truck good show 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😍😍❤
75 f-150 that's my dream truck.
I was all excited about the video but then you opened the hood!
😆😆 I’m sorry you’re a strong purist! Maybe next time!
Appreciate you giving Bob his props and showing him respect. Nice find!
My favourite Ford truck is actually the late 40s early 50s.
🙌🏼👍🏼
Mid 70’s favorite ford trucks 79 preferably
8:35 the truck that I strive to own one day.. 1983 Chevy Crew 3+3 dually K20 with the Detroit diesel
We want a Detroit diesel
I have a 1948 f2 and love it
You should sell me the blue one.
The wife wants a race truck and that would be a perfect start for us.
Great job on saving both trucks.
Favorite ford truck 56 1/2 ton
I remember seeing them on marketplace, the visor on the one made me want one on my 52 f1
I like the bullnose fords and Dentsides. Good video!
2:01 bro was really like wtf did he just say and went with it mid sentence anyway 😂😂
We say some weird shi* sometimes lol
good show. ugot the right parts all u need combination😎👍
Awesome trip I think I would build a Sanford and son truck lol
My favorite truck is 1964
Unibody Ford
Niceeeee
Love this old truck.
Bobs, awesome would love to just listen him all day
The 48 through 51 are my favorite year ford trucks. As a kid i just thought it was cool that the handle in the hood grill was the hood latch lol.
That was fun thanks yes keep on going 😊
this guy know so much about carburator. really cool sharing. this kind of knowledge quietly disappears
1939 is my favorite
Ford pickup
Awesome sign and good wheel work Duff !
Thanks for the great video. Very good editing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
stellar as always, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Love the 48 to 52 f-1 pickups.❤️
🙌🏼
I'm a bump fan, building a '71 right now
Nice!
This was a great video, your willingness to learn, coupled with Bobs willingness to teach is exactly what this craps all about!
Great job boys!!
Thank you! It was a good time!
Love the video. You guys are doing a good job and it’s entertaining to watch. Especially driving them afterwards. I think putting a 4 barrel intake and 4 barrel carb would help that motor out. Be cool to see you guys go through all that wiring and make it reliable again. Keep up the good work guys👍
We should’ve just went with out guts and got the 4 barrel stuff. Glad you liked!
Beautiful truck!! We just bought a 64 f100 ourselves, can’t wait to watch y’all work on yours!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Another good one 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Finally, been waiting for this
Us too! Now their next to all the other revivals lol
This shows exactly why Ampmeters are a terrible idea. Never understood why they were so popular with the OEMs. Volt meters FTW!
Love the vw beetle fender lights!
They’re cool that’s for sure!
Fun video.😅
Thanks!
Another great video by you guys, the old timer knew some stuff. Thanks!
Our pleasure! Bob is on speed dial hahaha
I like your will it run videos. Bob you are awesome. I am a self taught mechanic from 🇧🇸 Bahamas.
Thanks 👍 Bob is awesome!
Awesome video as always love these weekly videos i bet its hard work to get the video out on time
It’s pretty hard! A lot of time on the road and behind the computer
Just came across your channel, so glad i did :-) . Subscribed and looking forward to more content.
Awesome, glad you’re here!
Those are both beautiful.... I'd love to find an Ole F1/F100...
The quadrajet is a tricky carb. I love them.
I had a "Mr.Larry" across the street from me when I was in high school. He showed me around his 47' chevy style master and taught me how to do some wood work such as building book shelves and picture frames! He also did advertising for a classic automobile magazine! some of the best times i've ever spent was in hanging out and learning from him!
Nice! Good memories!
Dear sweet baby Jesus I want one of them Graziano sausages! That looked good!
They were awesome!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work fellas!!!
Appreciate it!
Gosh CZcams I tell ya, I’ve subscribed to your channel 4 times now lol. Great content! Cheers from southern MN
Haha what’s it doing? Unsubscribing you for some reason?
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps yes it is.
Another perfect example of a "Daily Driven Death Trap"....Wow!!! Love to see you guys get after it. I really like the look of the blue one over this one, but both are cool. Did you guys even know those turn signals mounted on the fenders are from a VW Beetle??? I can't decide if I like them or hate them (LOL)!!! You guys are funny and humble. Look forward to what "You Decide" to do with them. 👍💪😎
Pretty good video!
Love the old trucks.
Find a flatter for the blue one.
Hope that you keep Bob on speed dial. Having someone with that experience is priceless. That’s why I don’t pick up someone else’s projects.
Thanks, we got a sketchy experiment lol, bobs the man
Such a cool mentor. Bob is an absolute legend. My favorite body style is actually the one you worked on. I own a 77 Denside and just picked up a Lil 85 Bronco 2. It is a bit of a shame the truck had a sbc but it was a pretty common swap back in the day. At least they are easy to get parts for.
Bob was great and yeah parts were super easy other than the og break lines and such
I think my favorite year for the ford truck is a 1979 f150
for these type engine swaps the small block ford is better. not because it's a ford, because the distributor is out in the open, not slammed up against the fire wall
Chevy swaps are also boring
This is so true!
@@somerandomness4285😂True.
I'd still prefer the reliability of the Chevy small block!
@@somerandomness4285 don’t have to worry about a distributor when it’s coyote swapped 😉
My favorite is the 1970 F100 bump side, mine was 302 great truck
Niceee
Very good episode fellers!
Thanks! Glad you liked it
1968 F250 with 390 camper special sold mine and 83 retired US Army sergeant major Gamsby
Back in the 70s an early 80s, my Dad had a 1948 Bonus build. Basically, she looked just like the F1, but what there was as a Bonus, I have no idea! It had been hand-painted a dark green and still ran the old flathead and crashbox. If you have never experienced a crashbox, you've not lived, mate! Think of it as a gearbox with no synchros, all straight cut gears and a gearstick about 3 feet long with a long and wide throw. Guessing where the next gear would engage was always the order of the day, but that old flathead was a beautiful sounding engine......and actually, the box itself was very musical in the gears as straight cut boxes tend to be. My Mum used it as her work vehicle for a week when her car was laid up, but I could not imagine it was a lot of fun for her in rush-hour traffic. Dad was a bricklayer and he used to carry the concrete mixer, two wheelbarrows and a couple of 44 gallon drums on the back when he went to a new site. All his tools of trade - hand tools and electrical - were kept in the cab with his wet weather gear and extension leads. The truck also hauled a cubic metre of sand or builder's mix (the foundation of a mix of concrete) and had no issues doing so. Great old rig that was. I still have a soft spot for them, but trying to find one in my country now is very difficult....unless they have been done up as customs or museum pieces....and that's no fun to drive or use as a work truck, is it?
Again, as a kid, I used to hang around the garage and give Dad a hand with his current project - whether it be an engine rebuild, welding, changing brakes, rebuilding a carb, welding and bodywork or whatever. I learned a heck of a lot just by watching because my old man was not someone you interrupted when he was in the middle of something - you had to pick your moment. However, I now have three classics of my own to look after / rebuild as necessary, along with my wife's and two daughter's vehicles to keep maintained and I am so glad for all that time I spent with Dad in the garage.
You're right - listening to the older generations in regard to things they worked with is something that really people forget about doing until it is too late. Sure - google and CZcams are handy, but words cannot replace someone showing you how it's done and watching while you do the next one. If I throw you a bone in regard to what may or may not be ailing the vehicle you are working on, don't think of it as me being critical. I would much rather ensure the younger generation gets to enjoy the older vehicles, because if we DON'T teach you, these old cars will rot away and only exist in museums and picture books and that is just a damn shame, because driving them and hearing them do their thing give you an experience that you would never otherwise have. From an older bloke's perspective (I'm only 54, so not OLD old as yet), there aren't that many young blokes interested in the old cars. In the little village I live in, all the young blokes drive late-model (1995 onward) ricers or eurotrash and those that are interested in cars prefer to work on those vehicles than say an 80s or earlier vehicle. It's us blokes that have got to educate YOU as much as you picking OUR brains. Great to see the epiphany happen though - just wish there was more like you two!
In regard to what to do with them, that 305 still sounds quite healthy. Funny - when you opened the bonnet I could have sworn it looked (and eventually sounded) like a 327...but I will stand corrected because I've not been up close and personal with it like you both! Wiring is a bastard, but it's not hard when there are no computers involved. Find a rotted Camaro or similar with another 305 (or 350....or maybe a couple of 250s) and auto and drop it in the blue one. If the frames are ok on both only though. Building them as a matching pair (if the frames are both in good nick) would be a great point of difference on your channel, although using one or the other as a tow vehicle for that big trailer, I think you might need a bigger engine than the 305 and it would be good to have a 700R4 behind whichever engine is in there because then you get overdrive (lockup torque converter) but still no electronics interfering with it. Bodywork - as in the body itself, beating on the panels, welding in patches and eventually spraying them) - that to me comes secondary to making it safe, making it comfortable to be in, making it watertight, and making it reliable. Bodywork is something that can happen over time in stages. Wiring is something that needs to be done from scratch when it gets to the stage where there are more joins and wirenuts than feet of cable! Wiring is also less expensive than you think - just bloody time consuming! My Triumph Stag had a wiring issue that had me pull the instrument cluster out to check on. There was so much hackery in there that I nearly shut the door and walked away from it. However, it wasn't so bad once I cleared away the multiple joins and several feet of wire that were just dumped in on top of the original loom yet were not actually connected to anything.....
If the frames are bad, then flick them on to someone who has the time, but to be honest I would love to see the pair of them being used on the channel eh. I'd also enjoy seeing another F1 / Bonus come home with you - all original flathead engine and crashbox - because I reckon that would make for some great content......especially when you eventually pick up what the crashbox likes and can change gear without the 30 seconds of grinding the gear until it fits! I'm not trying to make you blokes a laughing stock - but my first drive of a crashbox was very entertaining and I reckon you'd both enjoy it.....plus having it on video, you'd spend as much time laughing during the editing as you did driving the thing! I tell you, when you get the first shift without a clash of gears, it is so much of a buzz and you feel on top of the world....until you try to get the next one!
Anyway, all the best and let us know what you decide for the pair, eh?
dang looks like fun doing that lol
wish i could
Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Back in 1978 I bought a 1956 f-100 ford for 500.00 dollars I drove it to Jalisco Mexico sold it over there and the 56 is still running. I want to buy it back and drive it back to California.
Another great video guys , loved it. Would love to see those old trucks again in the future. I do recall there was talk about flame thrower exhaust awhile back. Just saying. 👍
Hahah! Flame thrower for the budget build, we’re getting up there in budget so most revivals we do we have to sell once we get back home. Sadly we don’t have enough subs and views to make enough to keep everything and build everything
My favorite was the 51
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great video id make one good truck outta two and send it!
Fully fix old red and use it as a shop truck.
An offer you can't refuse? How many horses heads in your bed would that be..? Nice truck, sensible engine. Looking forward to the other 44 minutes... 🇬🇧👍
Both those trucks are awesome. You need to build one or both
Creo que tu mejor deseo es arreglar los 2...Éxito!!
The fridges were pretty great... Ive ended up with 2 of them so far
Old blue needs to come home with me
Please bring these trucks back yall could have replica trucks
Blue F1 old school 12 valve and clean the paint and clear it sealed barn wood boards in the bed and go all out inside the cab is what I would do
Those are VW Beetle turn signals on the fenders.
Restore them both!
dream truck is a 1961-75 IH Travelette 4 door truck (were made with 3/4 ton long bed...so cool) or a 69 tavelall wagon...
Great video!! You probably should make his and hers trucks oh sorry I mean you and his you know what I mean very entertaining video thanks
Hahaha brother trucks
Be like Bob, Bob is cool.
Bob is great!
I’m guessing someone else already said it but those are vw beetle signal housings on the fenders
Bought a 52 f1 in 1996 for 400.00 cant buy a part off one now for less.
Haha, everything has sky rocketted!
I guess my favorite truck could be the dent side
Had 52 f2 put a 292 in it then a 392 hemi out of a 57 chrysler windsor it was a fuel pig.
Bob needs a channel,good teacher😅
I will say one thing I trust the everstart battery more than the duralast because my Taurus went through 2 ina year and a half
Anything AGM should do no matter the brand
Bumpside
The reason the chevies were used is because the oil pan cleared the axle. The SBF didn't unless it was waaaay back behind the axle.
Can't wait for more on these two trucks but the chevy motor kinda hurts to see in that truck
