I can easily see why you had to REBUILD the whole truck I had a 96 F-150 the biggest pile of junk ever foisted off on the public you name the problem and It had it even stuff that can go wrong did anyway, But of course you had to completely overhaul your own POS Oh hey I already know.
I respect the amount of work and effort but you had to do it otherwise you'd have a broke down junker I gave up fixing mine the list of repairs would stagger your imagination.
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!
I thought the same! Instead it's some dude in his backyard garage absolutely crushing it and doing amazing work. soooo rad
This comment couldn't be more accurate!
Bro ...mind blowing work ...just amazing...but one thing why it take too much for self start ..
Even the 7.2 CAT badge lol
@@HESS302😅
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.
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
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.
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.
R.I.P. to your pops, dude sound like a fun guy to be around but also to work with
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.
This is gotta be one of the coolest engines Swaps I've seen in a while. Badass
Ever
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
This is my favorite internet build of all time,👍, thanks Rich, and thanks for sharing.
ME TOO!
Wow I don't know how you have the patience to do all of that. You must truly love what you do. Hats off. Great job.
Unreal build. One of the best I’ve seen on KZhead to date! I love it.
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."
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!
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 KZhead video I have seen.
Thank you!
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
That thing will be running when Jesus comes
Nice fictional statement you just made 👍
@@clifford4081shhhh
Nobody knows the day nor the hour only the Father knows.
Wow you 2 are fun, besides 1 week after finishing he hit a moose 🫎 truck totaled
@@papim9759atheists and fundamentalists deserve each other as the most annoying people on Earth.
All of your builds have been top notch in their own way, but I must say this one has to be my favorite.
I’m beyond impressed! What a fantastic build! The amount of love and care that went into this build makes it priceless! Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾🎈
This is one of the best restoration and modification projects I have seen
Udder disappointment. Via the title, I was promised 30 minutes of the best content available on KZhead. 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.
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!!!
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 !
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~!
Aaron does a FANTASTIC job with these videos. Loved the music choreography.
Very dope
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.
Insane quality build, work, video, all of it. Well done. 🎉
10/10 build. Everything from the stance,look, and swap itself is amazing.
This is one of the coolest builds I’ve ever come across!! Such a high quality of fit and finish. Awesome job 👏 👏
How much did you guys $$$$ did you guys invest in this project.... if I ask for one how much would you charge
Deadly Work Ethic! Thank you for sharing your Trade, Tradesman.
That is the single coolest and best quality build I've ever seen
Dope vid. An Deff one of the coolest swaps ive seen in awhile. Awesome build. That cat was purrin.
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!!!
Love seeing a passion become reality. Most bad ass truck ever. Would love to see what its actual towing limits are.
Magnificent project! Very well done & thanks for posting!!
Wow built by mad skills and passion. Hats off to all involved.👏
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
as always aaron knocking it out the ballpark with this edit, can't imagine how many terabytes of data he went through to put this together
Almost 5 tb ;)
@@editingaaronwow, I hope you have a powerful editing computer.
@@editingaaronur an absolute beast
This has to be the best video of all time. You guys are the G.O.A.T.S. Can you build me one?
This is just amazing to see all the detail and care they put into this build! Wow!
What an awesome truck. Nice job guys, just wow.
A good way to wrap up the weekend with a new video
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.
YOU ARE GREAT PEOPLE !!! PERFECT AND FANTASTIC WORK, EXCELLENT, WELL DONE.
It really is worth it to find nice clean rigs from good climates. I bet it was such a relief to pull up that carpet and not see a rusty mess! I’ve never seen a factory floor in a square body ford, I thought they came stock with the license plates screwed in there 🤣
This is textbook "right after the commercial break" and how people genuinely think these projects progress, great work what a beast
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
Idk how many hours you all put into this build, but it was worth every single one of them.
21:16 yes... The cat, the most important part of any project.
That cat engine on your Ford 7.3 powerstroke sounds awesome with diesel power 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
NICE !
wow. this is just beautiful. Mad respect for you guys for putting so much work into this beast!
That newer front bumper is a brilliant idea. Looks amazing! I'm stealing that idea 😎
damn i mean the truck was awsome but watching him cut solid 90s obs metal was painful
I am completely stucked on this video !!! What a beatiful work !!! Hats off !!!
Watching all the work that went into this truck is beyond impressive. Amazing job.
Awesome work, and all the people that had a part in that project did an excellent work. My respect to each and every one of you. True masters of their trade. 👍
Honestly one of the best builds I've ever seen. I don't need a truck for literally anything but it makes me want one for sure.
Glad they are building vehicles with industrial engines makes finding parts easier during when shit hits the fan
This guy is a great hero.👍👍👍👏👏👏 23:15 It's Alive! it's Alive! ...💪💪💪
As someone who maintains a fleet of trucks with 3126s, I'd love to have this truck as a personal rig. Those engines go forever. If this was a giveaway rig, I would sign up in a heartbeat.
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 👍👍.
The beginning of this clip with the roof being taken off was absolutely amazing. I cannot believe how many different thoughts I had as it was happening until I figured out what it really was. That was just awesome. Well done on the cinema photography.
This is such a cool project, and an even better end result. Hell of a job gents!
It’s great to see you include the detail work like the wiring harness and rebuilding the internals.
To Say This Build Is Amazing, Is An Understatement. Enjoyed From The Caribbean.
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
Really impressive work. The truck is one my favorites and a crew cab, so awesome. That was a lot of man hours put into that truck. 😮
Truly amazing work brother. Beautiful truck and a very talented craftsman.
Thanks 🙏🏾 for posting this video. Very interesting. I could see the big smile on your face after getting the engine running for the first time after installation.👍🏾🇳🇬
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!
You guys are blessed . You are contributing to a better life with your special talent . Looking on with admiration.🙏🏽💯
beautiful build! good job guys! thank you
The fact that every time I thought you were done with something, you pull out paint, insulation and even sound deadening is wild, amazing work... left me speechless and saying "wow" every other minute
Very well done , thanks for pulling this off
I always wondered if this was possible and how much work would need to be done. Wow awesome job guys. Y’all just built my dream truck.
Cars can be sooo beautiful and this is definitely an example of that. Outstanding work🙌👏👏
Most incredible work and video I’ve ever seen. Great job and congratulations on a long and hard work well done!!
Happy for ya man , it sounds incredible driving by
What a beautiful job! Amazing to see what dreams and great work can do 👌🏼
Can’t even imagine how much this project cost! Amazing craftsmanship guys!
Start to finish……….Absolutely Amazing 💯
I'm baffled by the amount of time and effort that went into this build and the slop in that steering
The craftsmanship is astounding! This is one. Baddd. Girl. Great job! 😮🎉
awesome work that definitely one the top truck builds ever
From the build to the video, what an Awesome job!
I'm glad you persevered through all of that!
most dont have any idea how much work actually went into that damn guys yal went all out!
I love this blend, Ford truck with a CAT, that's built for the gods😎
Amazing music to go along with this awesome project!
That was beautiful my Brothers, I got goose bumps first time you fired her up, wow
This is one of the best videos I ever saw on youtube. Great content, awesome build, even the parts with music were good songs. Liked, subscribed, etc.
Wow. Much respect for you. What a great job. Very inspiring
What an awesome build. I can see you poured your heart and soul into it. That truck should last forever
Absolute masterpiece. The amount of fab work, fitting, refitting, retrofitting, and knuckle busting on this rig would have scared away a LOT of gearheads 100 times. The amount of filming and editing and quality thereof is also second-to-none. Great work boys. If I made a special trip across the country just to see this, I think that would be worth the trip, alone, just to see. Right-on, boys!
Man what a lot of work.. Man but you done an outstanding job. Truly one of a kind. Just Awesome..
Literally the coolest truck and build I’ve seen. I would love to have an old/new combo truck with a crazy diesel engine. I can’t even fathom how you know how to do all that work. Amazing job. Sick ass truck.
The level of GENIUS this guy is. Phenomenal mind.
That is really impressive work. Literally everything looks like it's straight from the factory Plus better mileage. Can't go wrong with that I'm definitely subscribing
Congratulations on this wonderful work ❤
Insane amounts of effort went into this, came out beautiful
