What was your budget for the high boy?

Great video, great truck.

[@azstanp]

Absolutely beautiful. No body filler; completely redone from top to bottom--what a treasure. I would love to know what a work of art like this sells for.

[@cavdragoon]

Absolutely perfect truck. Amazing job

[@garyahearn2394]

Congratulations Marc on the sale today

[@johnwright3710]

Great video. I have an all original 67 f100(110) 4x4. Farm fresh. Wimbledon white red interior. 352 completely stock no restoration. No rust. Would make someone a great project.

Amazing job, love the paint

[@marcgombosi2715]

Thanks.

[@earnierosenow9834]

wow i like it, do you have any pics of the power steering box installation,

[@alanknizek3877]

Followed this build from day 1. Truck is loaded with detail

[@Akhazmat907]

That's so beautiful. I am currently working on a 1979 highboy. I can't decided on axles. I want the same look as yours just worried it won't make it to and from my property to my grandmother's, here in Alaska we got some crazy off roads that will snap Dana 60s. I was thinking Rockwell 2.5 ton and 54 tires, tube style lift like a monster truck with a 7.3 L turbo diesel. My grandmother lives 110 miles off the highway in swamp that literally has ruts bigger then most cars. I want the original look like yours but gonna have to go differently. I am currently 3 years into my project, not using any bondo, all steel. Interior is done and paint, frame is beefed up. Got two different engines I can decide on. A 351 Windsor bored out and turboed my brother built or the 7.3 all new. Building your dream truck with so many options available sure is hard to decide on. But amazing build, thanks for sharing

[@marcgombosi2715]

Much appreciated. Can't go wrong with the diesel!

[@TheKeymaster316]

Fantastic build!

[@marcgombosi2715]

Thank you.

[@JamieHeald-o3x]

How did you add Disc brakes with original front dana 44 axle. Did you swap out axle?

[@lowellfunk8974]

Beutiful truck! So much so that I'd be very sad to see it go! I'd want to drive it every day!

[@marcgombosi2715]

Thank you. Please check out my new channel: BUMPSIDE ADDICTIONS. I'm building this truck's sister and the process is being chronicled there.

[@johnwingfield7007]

I have a '69 F250. Can you tell me if you had to change out the axle or did you find a disc brake kit that works with the OEM axle ?

[@johnwright3710]

Did you remove the VIN tag during paint? Those do not look like OEM rivets.

[@jeffseagal2347]

Question how was the titling done? I see the vin plate with cab/frame vin? I have a 77 2wd f150 buying a frame from a 77 f150 4x4 to put under my cab

[@backachershomestead]

Outstanding!

[@TheWhyteRhyno77]

Great looking truck. Did you source a new front D44 with existing disc set up or did you convert your drum D44 to disc brakes? I couldn't tell from the pics but do you have a closed knuckle D44?

[@bakfixx]

Great job. Very interesting upgrade with the power steering. That was the only issue I ever had with mine.

[@tylercermak1893]

Do you still have the parts truck? I’m interested in it.

[@cahegape1179]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 parabéns meu amigo ⁉️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@jsource10]

Hey. Where did you find the vins on your frames?

[@marcgombosi2715]

Top of the frame rail, passenger side, just behind the shock tower, then again, on the top of the rail, under the cab, right side.

[@VAbow78]

How did you like the bench works kit?

[@marcgombosi2715]

Absolutely love it. Just bought another one for my current build.

[@tazaxx21]

Nice work! I have a 69 F100 Ranger 4x4. The 390 wasn't available though in 69. They were 360s...

[@marcgombosi2715]

Correct. 360 was the only V-8 option, however, an original 360 can easily be transformed into a 390, simply by changing the crank and rods to that of a 390.

[@errolpoxleitner7901]

You can make a 428 out of it also

[@ablemarine9072]

@@marcgombosi2715 I have an original 1969 F250 Crew Cab with Factory 390, discs,Air, power steering and short box they were available upon. Request. My truck was built in Canada,don't think that mattered though! Just Sayin.

[@stephensaasen8589]

I hope you put the 2wd one back together with the body parts you swapped off the hi-boy. I didn't see anything but surface rust. No visible evidence of potential undercarriage rot. Don't see front of cab sagging. There's enough reasonable priced aftermarket parts that it could be fully restored like new if you needed them. That would be a crying shame!!

[@biggrantlewis]

$77k Worth every penny!
