WOW! What a change in the demeanor of those Fallow Deer! They were scared of everyone and everything at their previous owners location. Now they are calm , eating out of your hand and even following you to the hay feeder! WOW!!!

[@baskervillebee6097]

Regular grain will do that to critters. 😏

[@tombecks5150]

There's nothing better than watching a Red Poppy Ranch video early on a Sunday evening. Since I think you may skip next Sunday given the date it falls on, allow me to wish the family a Merry Christmas tonight. Blessings to you all.

[@olgringo-421]

I also wondered a bit about why the cab/chassis swap when it dawned on me: It's more of a hobby than an absolute necessity.

[@damogranheart5521]

He loves working on vehicles, and being idle just is not in his nature. Staying in the house and watching TV would drive him bonkers.

[@rogerwilliam83]

Been watching for about 7 years,and have watched you do alot of these crazy builds and almost Always I say WHY WHY WHY, and this one a big WHY, but still love watching you,never seen a man with so much knowledge, work ethic always amazed keep them coming and MERRY CHRISTMAS ❤

[@brandons9398]

That truck is gonna look absolutely cool as hell! I can’t wait to hear that beautiful 7.3 clack! Wanna wish you and everyone else that Red Poppy Ranch a very merry Christmas and a happy new year😊

[@rixtrix11]

If this had been a GM product, the cab would have bolted right on. It's a wonderful thing you approach any challenge with great anticipation and the ability to make things work . I love a garage-built project and this is a very good one! Anxious to watch this one unfold and get put to work. Thanks for having your neighbor, Maple Mountain Ranch, in your videos. I watch your channel and now their's with our disabled son. Both are interesting, informative, inspiring and entertaining. BTW, we live in Chandler, AZ, not far from your old place. We moved from western Nebraska to Arizona 39 years ago escape snow...

[@Ducelick]

A great deal of work, but just think how proud you will be when it is all done. Wishing you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas filled with the magic of Christmas, which is love, laughter and caring. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@mdn642]

That truck is going to be all kinds of cool!! Can’t wait to see it done!!

[@billfisher9247]

Merry Christmas to Red Poppy Ranch. I hope Santa brings you everything you desire and may sugar plums dance in your dreams. God bless.

[@selador11]

Loving it! Wishing I still had the health to do these kinds of things myself. So, re-living my own youth, vicariously via Red Poppy Ranch!

[@crazyjohn6130]

[@russellwatters5891]

The Ford swap is really coming along nicely, looking forward to this. Your deer have changed considerably, becoming more docile. Did I miss something though, I only saw the two bucks. Love ya'll and what you're doing 😊

[@JoelRufino05]

The other one probably will be for Christmas dinner😅

[@markheil6374]

Another great video. At some point you will need an intervention from friends and family surrounding your projects, but until then keep up the energy and creative ideas. Love it!

[@damogranheart5521]

May you all have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for the lovely visit. I owned a '72 F150 @ one time. Served me well.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Thanks Guys...

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

I think you would enjoy the KZbin videos of Captain Kleeman and Kleeman. He's making one truck out of two junkers right now. Right up your alley!

[@markbean8953]

Yes! @ChallengerLifts definitely needs to sponsor you a 2-post lift! Looking good already! Our Dad had a 68 Ford, same green color. Ah the memories! Merry Christmas Y'all!!!

[@TheKobiDror]

I mean the swap looks challenging but "some" rust? Quite an understatement. Merry Christmas to you and enjoy the holidays.

[@stephanc9466]

A man with a plan. Love it. And Merry Christmas from a very warm South Africa

[@MaryLDodd]

You are a genius taking that vehicle apart. Just love watching you work! Happy Holidays to you and the family from Virginia.

[@John-kl3ue]

Can’t wait to see how the truck turns out mate ,well done from outback Western Australia

[@shaunforcier]

Merry Christmas and happy new year also thank you for sharing your homesteading journey with us god bless

[@ToddKesler]

Good job. That project will keep you busy. Merry Christmas.

[@KG5RK]

Hey Heath, LOVE what you are doing with 0that Ford... A friend of mine has done a few truck swaps. He sometimes leaves a gap BETWEEN the cab and truck beds. One time as much as 14 inches (about 35 CM). He has used that gap many times for tools (JACKS, Shovels & other OFF road accessories ). Make the SPACE work for ya !

[@chucklogan9611]

A nice over head Winch system would be a nice addition to the garage lift that cab right off the frame. Pull the old out and move the new in

[@waynewillard7402]

I am really liking the truck build.

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@jimlong527]

Merry Christmas to all at Red Poppy Ranch. Also wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. 🎄🎄

[@jerrycopley9325]

A big beam in that ceiling would have been nice to hang that cab from :) I am excited about this project I am sure it will be nice, wish you the very best making it fit, it will work a buddy of mine put a 454 in a s10 truck so anything can happen lol The deer have really gotten used to you that was nice to see Merry Christmas to you and your family !!

[@hammer9390]

Marry Christmas to you guys too , from seaside Oregon coast area, stay warm and safe

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello Red Poppy and thumbs UP!!

[@regina15ful99]

Are you sure you didn’t miss your calling to be a mechanical engineer for a big automotive manufacturing company? Your rearranging and changes for a truck most people would have gotten rid of ages ago are intriguing. You need to be teaching at an adult education center and educating others. I know that for you it is of great satisfaction to accomplish such an achievement. Bravo

[@truckinut20]

he is teaching all of us lol

[@gwpsr58]

Those two bucks follow you around like puppies.

[@shadegarden7375]

Yep, I knew you would calm and get those deer to trust you!👏🏻👏🏻. Talking to them when you are around also calm all animals👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RedHen1955]

MERRY CHRISTMAS RED POPPY RANCH FAMILY FROM DALMENY, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA.

[@MJWance]

I spent most of my early life in Central PA which is the rust belt. Had a friend that put and 85 F250 body on a 74 highboy that had a 360 HO. I remember he ran a 3” body lift to help fit the chassis. This also allowed to fit 42” tires. That was a really cool rig. I think yours will be as well.

[@ronarmstrong8585]

Heath, Merry Christmas from my family to yours. Have enjoyed hard work and videos this past year, really looking forward to the new year and more videos. Stay safe, from the guy who sent you the table for your chop saw.

Awesome work!! The deer are getting more friendly!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@susanclaeysen9971]

What happened to all the goats?

[@aprilolichwier7829]

My husband noticed that there is quite a bit of rust in the center cab mounts. He mentioned that the rust needs to be dealt with, or they will start to collapse, possibly in a few months of use. Otherwise, the transformation looks good!😊

[@chipmiller9074]

Wishing you and you family a wonderful merry Christmas and a happy new year!!

[@farmernledell]

[@A_Drifters_Life]

When ya start rebuilding that firewall go to the hardware store and look at wheelbarrows. I saw an old hot rodder use this and they make an excellent starting point if you can find the right one. Great channel, look forward to your videos each week.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a safe, happy and prosperous New Year from SW Va.!!🎄🎉✌🏼

[@davidbelanger7278]

Merry Christmas and God bless!🎄🎄

[@hucker4life]

Rather then cut an weld the frame I’d remove the rivets for the rear spring hangers an shackle mounts an slide them forward to line the wheel to wheel-well an just re-drill the mount hole! That’s what we used to do with rangers to change wheel base then just cut the frame that sicks out the back! Also if you have some of the old firewall from the 90s cab it sometimes is easier to mold the two together then panel it all back in! Good luck hope you see this befor cutting the frame I’ll be waiting to see in the next videos much love an respect from Washington

[@charlesschneider1891]

Also have a great new year.

[@kenvangoe9358]

Thank you for bringing another year at Red poppy ranch to an end Heath,Cedar,Callie,and of course Reed. It wouldn't be complete without a cliffhanger of sorts. But then again anything will fit if you dont mind some prominent features being cannibalized. This year has gone by before we knew it and it was really kinda sketchy in the weather department. But we got to this point in the year where we can reflect on our sense of passion and what is important in life caring about our family and those around us. Really wasn't sure how the deer would fair but they have become quite docile by the shear fact that your not a threat to them but a caretaker who is not out to do harm. Everything that has happened at the ranch has came out pretty good and it wont be long before you have more company in the barn than you thought possible. Winter is knocking at the door now and lets all hope we come out unscathed but sometimes the holidays can really give us a sense of hope in our world. Be careful and stay safe my friends God love ❤ ya all and have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year.
