- On this episode I finally finish a project truck that has been in my shop for a decade. My buddy Kerry, dropped his 1949 ford F1 off with me 10 years ago to get it wired. Well, it kind of spiraled out of control and turned into a complete build.

And.NOT A MINUTE TOO SOON...LOL
CARRY ON...
Digging the blue dots! I had them on everything.
Glad you went with tailights in the fenders, looks perfect.
Sure, but how long they gonna last with rain and mud being thrown up on the back sides?
@@xtr3m3fLxStreet rods & old trucks have had them there for years; never seemed a problem till you came along.
@@haworthlowell805it's very elementary to understand. Once a metal gets contact with mud and water it will deteriorate fast. I wonder what kind of brain do yer have.
@@Uriahheep1975 Well it's you not yer. That should explain everything.
Cool old truck!
This was fun. Thank you.
This is my favorite body style ford pickup ever
Thanks for another great video.
Nice truck. Good simple build.
Fun looking truck 😊
Nice old truck,sounds sweet.
that is one heck of a nice truck 12volt!
Mr. Keyes even stopped by for a visit!
The truck is looking good. Another great video 👍👍
12 volt dave,,that's cool
My Dad and I are working on a 49 and a 50 right now
My dad had 2 46 model Chevy trucks. The1 we got running had a stuck 6 cylinder. We got it freed up and running in the early 80s . For the life of me, I can not remember what happened to those trucks. I assume he sold them but I don’t know and there is nobody left alive I can ask. I haven’t thought about those trucks in many years but this reminded me even though this is ford.
Beautiful truck👍💯
She's a beauty. Good job bud
I like it a lot. nice job.
Sweet truck!!!!
Love the truck
Good job Dave
You make it look easy!
cool truck a nice builder
I love to see your projects driving through Waco. I work at WGTC.
It's looking good! Those bondoed over holes in the fenders are from covering frenched headlights.
David, your boy's dragster, maybe touch base with sleeperdude. your tube channel and his channel turn up the heat to get it roaring. His son is ready for one as well. get the crowd to compete to get it going like so many others would jump in.
like freiburger always says dont get it right just get it running! only you got it pretty right.
I hope you covered the back of those tail lights to keep the road crap from getting into the wiring.
Love this truck tho. But man. I'd have to find some more patina fenders. That bondo being that bad and thick would make me crazy. Lol. Dents would be better. I love the truck tho. No hate ment
I think those bumpers are for the 49 to 54 chevy trucks
The color of thr truck looks like some fire trucks an it could have been a Fire Chiefs truck and had lights in the fenders.
My favorite year
taillights are cool, I was hoping for some 66 mustang like we use to do or 65 impala
That rig is ready for a "shine" run.
👍
Those old fords with those fenders had lots of rust cause they just weren’t engineered properly to keep out water and dirt and stuff !
See lots of them with rust in those joints! But have watched that truck in the background of your videos and wondered what the deal was!
My kinda build, I love it
Dang. Wonder what caused the rack to do that when it's hardly even been moved or driven. Thats wild. Is there rubber or smtn that could or deteriorated. I hope I don't sound dumb asking that. I know a good bit. However I've never broke down a rack.
Your videos need to longer. Good stuff.
better than my 2003 car lol
Is the cab insulation bubble foil from Home Depot and if so what did you use for adhesive?
Getting it to Australia for Harry s hardass 1000
🤘😎🤘
Did I do that wiring on the head lights?
Wonder how long it's been since this thing was on the road 🤔😂
Did you update the front suspension? Or is it original?
nevermind lol
Put a 41 Willy’s fiberglass front cap on mine
Jeep Wrangler seats
Nice content! Are you interested in vehicle accessories sponsorship?
Same nose as Stubby Bob!
The trucks on a lift but yet your standing on a crate while working on the lights🤣 yup, something I would do
Awesome truck!!! The blue dots on taillights bug me, who thought that was a good upgrade? 😂
Love blue dots.
@@haworthlowell805 Me too.

You better get the truck to the owner before dd speedshop grabs the daises off it. They are his favorite
moosekoot6331 Except the Ford rims aren't Daisy's. They are Torque Thrust D's.
I did like the patina crap...finish it
Far from a historian or expert on vintage Ford trucks but I'd say those front fenders are either off of something else or they've been pieces grafted in from something else. I googled 47 to 50 ford f1 fenders and didn't see anything remotely like that. Is there anything noticeable on the inside of the fenders that might reveal it being modified?
Those are F1 front fenders. What about them do you think isn't right?
Love rats. But...... why not keep it brand matching.
It was built probably in the 80s and everyone put a small block chevy in their rods. I'd have kept it all ford but thats mainly just to make doing the timing a stuff easier as I don't like reaching all the way back behind the engine and firewall to adjust the dizzy.
@damianlindsey6177 makes sense yeah
Too bad you powered it with a sbc
Like really why is it so darned hard to use a SBF instead of a Chevy in that situation? C’mon. Just silly
No such thing as a decent Chevy motor thanks for ruining another Ford classic
Ponies in the Smokies sweatshirt FTW! @ssdandp
Cool old truck!
