I swear every build you put out I want more than the last! This thing is sweet!

[@FiglioBastardo]

I couldn't agree more!

[@hodsonmotors]

Put everything we had into this one!

[@brandoncondetti2819]

jesus. this is literally my dream truck. me and my granddad had a red and silver 84 half ton bullnose growing up. always wanted to get another to build and cruise around with him

[@Antivist_]

She looks hella good and sounds great. Chloe is coming home with me.

[@waynemix7975]

Great looking truck! Love the sound! We had a couple 6.9's years ago and you couldn't kill them, ran forever!

[@hodsonmotors]

6.9s sound so good with the boost!

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

I know your post old but would you recommend a 1992 Ford 350 xl 5.8 ? Is that engine solid?

I’m so pumped for this truck. It’s epic. The short startup scene, it just sounds so damn good.

[@FiglioBastardo]

Talk about a head turner! The only thing it's lacking is a hot lil cowgirl next to me in the driver seat! 😂 Good luck to everyone.

[@hoontar1635]

I still want that dashboard. Gauges look good

[@briantmartin83]

I really need a truck. This is my fav style because my grandpa had one that was all white when he worked for the city of San Antonio.

[@forthefunofit5487]

Nice, well done for sure. The Bull nose is my favorite. A true classic truck.

[@ryandaugherty1558]

Dude I’ve been waiting for this truck to get done forever and the wait has been so worth it, it came out amazing. Also sweet fun fact about how the obs name started I never knew that and I don’t think a lot of people do.

[@hodsonmotors]

All about that trivia knowledge!!! Glad you like it!

[@rixiv7868]

Currently getting my great grandpas 84 Bullnose back running like it did in the day. Seeing this truck makes me dream of the potential my truck has for the future!

[@dano1g]

I’m in love with this beast!

Beautiful truck!!! Good job guys.

[@Threewolfs-]

The “old school” stereo, wood grain and most the hat holder, SOLD, love it, always wanted a duly but the big old four doors were to much, this one is sweet. If I could build one this would be it. Mahalo for another great one 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼, 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠

One of my favorite features of the bull nose is the bent gear shifter.

[@MasterWar164]

Here's hoping good luck buds great work love bullnose fords

[@brianbienvenue2119]

just bought my entry, pumped!

[@RollingRigTraction]

Cool rig. Had an '84 F250 Standard cab 4x4 long bed with the N/A 6.9l Diesel and it was absolutely unkillable, even though the glow plug controller had been bypassed(stupidest idea ever) and the glow plugs didn't work it hammered on for a couple of years with ether😅. Until I replaced all the plugs and controllers and it didn't need anything after that. I made the mistake of selling that truck back to the guy I bought it from for more than I paid for it and at over 786,000 miles on the engine he finally blew a head gasket. We eventually stuffed the lower mileage spare engine back into it and it ran really nice and strong. I finally found another F250 Diesel but an '85 and it's also been stupidly bypassed so it's getting all new glow plugs and controllers and back to stock configuration with new pressure and return lines for the fuel system. I expect eventually I will add a Frantz bypass filter to it along with all my other gasoline engines F250's of that era. Absolutely love the Bullnose Ford trucks. I now have 3 of them😊! Plus a big block powered '90 Bricknose with the ZF5 but it's an extended cab, which I wanted for a camper truck for the added passenger seats and Xtra storage space in the cab. Just can't beat the old Ford trucks!

[@mrdogaming6807]

Sweet truck

[@ChargerusPrime]

Can you put coil springs up front and air bags out back on one of these? I wanna get one of these trucks and put a 24v cummins and an Allison transmission with a dana 60 out back and whatever i can get for the front. I wont own a truck that's not 4x4.. or rather, i wont own one for long that i wont convert to 4x4. Im gonna be doing true dual smoke stacks outta the bed. Wonder what grille guards you can get for one of these things.

[@RuggedArtistry]

You mention in this video that you have covered the ZF5 in other videos. I'd like to know more about this trans.. Can you tell me which videos those were where you talk about the ZF5? Thanks

[@andrewhunter9227]

Awesome job on the truck! This thing looks sick!

[@matiasishere1487]

Truck is absolutely gorgeous nice work! When it cranked up I got the weird chills.

[@princenymph1]

My dad is restoring a 85 f-250 dually could you recommend a vendor to get new fastners for it? Front fenders mostly.

[@jermainejohnson6077]

Yeah, beast mode bro beast mode. This truck is top tier.

I’m wanting to get either a f350 460 (fuel injected) or 6.9 idi for a two Alaskan winter road trip. Which one is a better engine? How do they do in cold?

Really a sweet truck

Ahh! I saw this truck in south Texas before the transformation! Back in December 2021. Had a chance to buy it at auction. Glad it went to you guys-love what you did with it!

[@Nohill05]

That thing is coming home with me to Tennessee without a doubt

[@StrawHatGarage]

Thank you for the chance to win this perfect truck, would be a forever rig. Great motor, all mechanical sure would be a dream come true. Good luck to whoever wins this beautify.

[@stevenbrooks1243]

Had 2 bullnose trucks one was a clean 2wd survivor with a new 460 and a ZF5 speed i swapped in was a great truck

[@CoyoteFTW]

This is dream build for me the 6.9 was bullet proof

[@mmanut]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸

[@eddiebowens1919]

I think the 6.9 and 7.3 are good-looking engines. Everyone calls them dogs but back in the day I worked the sh%t out of them and they served me very well. I had friends with 6.5 GMs and that was a DOG!

[@BourbonDrinker]

Great truck.

[@BourbonDrinker]

I had an 87 F150 XLT Lariat with dual tanks way back in 1995 - 1999 and the dual tank fill gauged didn't work.

How much do one of those tires

[@josephhenderson7044]

Where did you get your seats from?

[@MikeMitchell-l2k]

where can I get the wheels

[@overland_panda]

Well done guys. This one came out way cooler than I even pictured when you first started. Fun to see the process along the way w the other videos! Keep that up for future builds!

[@hodsonmotors]

I won't lie, I was nervous the whole time building this thing. Then we put the tires under it and it looked great. It was a load off my shoulders.

[@guscorp-4k]

That truck is awesome

[@ArmyOfNVA]

All in all, how much did it cost you to build this truck?

Best farm truck ever had

Kudos to your build and or rehab build

[@WearilyCorrect]

That’s a nice Ford!

[@ericdevarney4089]

my 85 Lariat will be getting pretty much the same treatment, though mine is getting an over drive unit rather than a 5 speed, basically gear spliting the factory 4 speed. I'm having a bitch of a time sourcing the wood grain interior and door panels though.

[@jracer7189]

What kind of seats did you put in it

[@TheGamingChad.]

how tall are you and how big is the lift?

Where did u find the pen stripe?

This thing is gorgeous

[@FELiPES101]

I think if I win I would have to drop the 35's down to 33's for my needs but everything else looks fantastic

[@hodsonmotors]

You'll have a lot of tire gap unfortunately. The shackle reversal and solid axle swap gives 3-4" of lift using stock springs. So 35s fit easy.

[@wyattnew8021]

what size tire are on it?

[@ezekielmoorejr3145]

Very nice truck mid 80's Ford trucks are the best, if I was able to win it ,it would be the last truck I would own.

Shame someone had to ruin a perfectly good truck by lifting it.

Doing the 4x4 swap and shackle reversal gives 4" of lift naturally. Leaf springs are stock springs.

[@lostghost513]

I get that people need money but to win something like one of these amazing trucks that you guys build and just sell it, that's a shitty thing to do in my opinion.

[@overland_panda]

Selling the truck might be the best thing for someone’s family and financial situation. Winning one of these trucks can change someone’s life for the better whether they keep it or sell it.

[@lostghost513]

@@overland_panda I get that, I do. Maybe appreciation can be showed different ways I guess. As long as someone who wants the truck ends up with it.

[@overland_panda]

@@lostghost513 Absolutely. Hopefully someone who needs it and/or can truly appreciate it wins, but if someone gets it and it’s an opportunity to get out of debt, put a down payment on a house or pay for college, etc, I say more power to them. Obviously whoever would be buying it appreciates the craftsmanship and quality. In the end the right person ends up with it no matter the situation.
