[@TruckHoss]

Would love to see some rolling shots of this bad boy with no music and just 12 valve sounds.

[@hodsonmotors]

Will do!

[@nathanaelsylvia6538]

Make it so!

[@bobbyj870]

When I win the giveaway I’ll make sure to tag you in the vid 😅🤣

[@eduardoarangure531]

The work you guys do is insane and underrated. The way the truck was compared to how it sits now is night and day. Thats someones whole year project and you did it in a couple of months lol. Quality work but tasteful not over the top. Literally all your giveaways are perfect. Keep up the awesome work.

[@jamesrobinson2433]

Just finished watching the video and yeah...a black carpet would have been better than yellow. Lol But i must say this truck came out beautiful. You guys continue to amaze me.

[@hodsonmotors]

Always room for improvement, thats the hobby right?

[@semikrazy28]

I recently bought a 84 F250 like this. It sat since 2004 when the original owner passed. I have the 6.9 idi, 4 speed manual 4x4. Great trucks.

[@jwkustm]

Awesomeness 😎 I bought a 84 out of highschool big block 4spd, then swapped in a 6.9l worked great for about 5k..... Voltage regulator died n fried my harness. It's parked waiting for money.

[@camerona254]

These builds are so tasteful and otherworldly! You might have to throw on a bullet-shaped antenna to make it feel relatable.

[@bengesell]

Lookin' forward to seeing that 'power door lock for bullnose fords' video. Sweet truck. Thanks!

[@theunluckyfrog3316]

Literally make the coolest builds on the internet, always love seeing what they make

[@BobBob-ug1mk]

You knocked this one outta the park. Love it.

[@donedoneit1355]

OK...I'm in. I really like what you guys did with this build, hats off to you for your design ideas and making it all come together in such a nice truck...well done!

[@bobm.5049]

I absolutely love the way you guys "restore" trucks. Wonderful restorations that are very driveable.

[@dieseljt9010]

Super nice build! I love this channel! ❤

[@jbondm345]

Great Job Man! It looks a ton better than it did at it’s start!

[@jacobglasz2654]

Oh Man! I am definitely entering. My grandfather had a 1984 Ford F150 and this truck reminds me a lot of that one. I was also born in 84. I also had a 1987 Ford Ranger XLT that looked like this F250 sort of on the inside. It was white exterior with a tan interior. I loved that standard truck! Hope I Win! 🎉

[@bushpilot7788]

Excellent job guys.

[@comfortablyunknown700]

It looks outstanding. Another amazing job you all have done. I REALLY dig the interior! You all do such awesome work. I would also like to thank you guys for the useful items in the shop. "Bummer! I did not win BUT, I still have this super awesome item that I will use all the time."

[@hodsonmotors]

Thats the whole idea behind our business, make it so everybody gets something good!

[@jwkustm]

Oh my gosh that is so killer ❤❤❤ And I'd wanna get 37" or wide 35"a some sort of swamper to fit the era. Love it ❤❤

[@rswany16]

Such an awesome truck! You guys did a fantastic job! Good luck to everyone entered to win this beast!

[@josephw.8882]

Beautiful build guys!!!

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Love that Interior

[@fredmeebley]

Nice work, better than a new one.

[@raycecil4643]

I did a Black Vinyl floor mat in my Supercab restoration project. By far the best thing to do on a truck. I HATE carpet in trucks. Its basically pointless.

[@westpearson6759]

1) Add a mount for the spare! If I KNEW when I would need it, to thow it in the bed, I would probably never need it because I would avoid whatever was going to give me a flat😂. 2) I had the same, fold flat rear seats in my Ford, and they were GREAT! Thow a comforter down on it and put your ankel biter down to lay and sleep😝. Of course, couldn’t do that now😂

[@ClarkBelt-kv5ky]

I'd like to have a nice truck like that the truck is awesome good job on building that truck I wished I could afford a truck like that

[@literallyshaking8019]

Perfect build.

[@ronaldduwaynebrown8071]

Sweet truck reminds me of dads truck bought a 81 F250 4×4 brown an white was a nice

[@nathanunderdown9379]

This truck would be a game changer for me, got my fingers crossed

[@kasper7983]

Man ive had a 76 supercab and an 86 single cab and this is a combo of both. Entered again, maybe this time luck will be with me

[@jamjon85]

Beautiful truck!

[@JoGo1099]

this truck is amazing!

[@RobertHolster1]

Omg that's a gorgeous truck. I'm a bull nose fan: I cut my teeth on the mid 80s Fords with the 6.9 and 7.3 IDIs.

[@mdmwelding3189]

Great work ALLWAYS

[@cesarpenailillo6627]

Beautiful truck

[@rickjames6867]

Wonderful truck. 💙✌️

[@DirtandoilUTAH]

Killer truck 🔥🔥

[@bddmhopp5]

Yes OG paint in any condition is better than re-fin

[@Claude_van_Dammage]

this is a great truck ! I want it

[@jermainejohnson6077]

Wow that is a good looking truck I want one

[@oursfort3024]

Sublime, j'en veux un ici en France ❤

[@jbrownjetmech-4783]

To hell with "PATINA", especially when the body is this close to perfect. Also, aftermarket paint lasts way better than he suggests.

[@Bierdawg69]

Great Truck !!! Awesome work. You say it's a Marine Cummins. I this engine running on marine grade or is it configured for regular diesel. Not familiar with except what I google.

[@jamesrobinson2433]

Nice. I'll be trying to win this one.

[@kelsman4520]

That’s one bad ass truck I want to win it so bad 😮

[@dangonzalez7503]

Man what a truck

[@jaredkish8716]

Absolutely mint 👌

[@jaredkish8716]

Also bullnose have the best dash

[@Tanner8585]

Truck is beautiful

[@redquin-vg2is]

So in! 😮😮😮

[@thomasclouse8751]

I love this truck so much, I'm dreaming of winning it rn.

[@TheBlackScatPack]

Where did you get the bucket seats and console from or what was the process to get it all to fit

[@PKFiddy]

How is the power on that 12V? Is it more than the factory would have been? ie. can the truck tow/haul nicely without bogging down due to lack of power

[@metalzhenry]

HODSON MOTORS what suggestions do you have for rear door panels on a bullnose crewcab?...mine are crap...

[@fishgoblinmonster8610]

Beautiful truck!😢

[@99Cv]

Is this a dogleg manual? It looked like you shifted in the forward direction when you proceeded from a stop.

[@richardstone3980]

How did you restore the plastic around the supercab windows?

[@matthewmorgan2998]

Boys a bit ambitious having a speedo that goes to 160 mph. 😅

[@j.g.1351]

Frame mounted oil filter? Was that from the previous engine?

[@bobob677]

This is so cooooooooooolllllllllllllllllll

[@1rael00]

Sure would be great for everyone if you would be kind enough to inform all of us who are entered, what the towing capacity is now with the Cummins in this truck. What is your best guess? Someone is going to be really happy soon.

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

I’m surprised you guys did not deal with the flywheel chatter? It’s a solvable problem for sure.

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Definitely a cool truck might have to buy some merch so I can get my hands on it and find tuna. Cheers.

[@hodsonmotors]

How would you solve it?

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

@@hodsonmotors it’s a balancing issue and pressure plate. Clamping force comes into play as well that and making sure that the surface is completely true and decked/plained completely true. on a single mass wheel the chatter comes from not having a completely true surface. If you have it turned by a machine shop, the chatter will stop.

[@HolmesPHXX]

Sumptuous :) :)

[@iamsuperdan]

What's the red warning light that keeps coming on, starting around 25:30? Beauty truck. Definitely entering this giveaway.

[@hodsonmotors]

The brake light. The switch was just loose! Already fixed. The videos show us a lot of small stuff that needs fixed. 😂

[@ajdemoss9724]

We always run 5 inch on our Cummins swap trucks

[@plumcreekfarms8138]

My 96 Dodge 12 valve which I bought brand new and still have came factory with a 3 1/2 inch exhaust. I recently replaced with a 4 inch exhaust.

[@raycecil4643]

The bodyline from cab to bed looks sagging. Is that just the angle its parked on, or is that a cab mount issue?

[@carbonbasedunit]

I see what you're saying - at about 30:31 you can see the cab bounce a bit and settle in a different spot than it was before if you look at the black trim line. I don't actually know anything about this stuff so maybe it is just parked on an angle, but it caught my eye the first time I watched it.

[@TheGamingChad.]

how tall are you? people have said they feel small inside compared to the 90's chevy

[@justinwam]

I don’t like fords at all but that is a badass truck, it takes a Cummins to make it cool but it looks good too

[@hodsonmotors]

Thats the hope, to make a vehicle so cool even those who arent a fan of the brand still appreciate it!

[@awhite8860]

How is high way speeds can she do 75 down the highway

[@nmathree89]

I wasn't going to buy in on this one, then I watched and listened to the video. A very cool Cummins swap truck that isn't obnoxiously noisy, and looks incredibly comfortable to drive and ride around in. I'm flying in to drive it home when I win!

[@skyw4278]

🤩

[@CavanalK5]

I’m not a Ford guy. But damn……that’s RAD.

[@Xristoforos41493]

Mine still has the 460 in it

[@laurelman975]

What gear ratios are we talking? Still have the camper? Think about putting cruise control in it? Redoing the tint or letting the winner decide?

[@hodsonmotors]

I can't believe I forgot to mention that in the video! The winner gets to keep the camper if they want it, or they can leave it with us. The truck has 3.73 gears in it, they're brand new! No plans on making the cruise work, and we already redid the tent, the very next day.

[@treeman5263]

Idk ford tough with cummins stuff is freaking hilarious 😂😂 in a dumb way of course

[@renegade21mg]

Only thing I think it needs is a gooseneck ball in the bed. It would pull really good.

[@hodsonmotors]

We'll gladly do it for you if you win!

[@huntercarroll9336]

Littlery dream truck

[@user-mm1se7gy7e]

Bullnose ? never heard of one .

[@lhurst9550]

Anyone know what rear seat they have in that truck?

[@ga-gz1bo]

How much change would it take too sign the title to me????

[@nmathree89]

I will need cruise control :)

[@CapitanoReggiano]

Ima win this one

[@hoontar1635]

This truck is the girl next door of trucks, ugly til she gets the makeover

[@LoneWolf-cf5tp]

Damn ! Fasten the cab down. lol 30:33

[@hodsonmotors]

That's just frame flex, go off road with any old ford and they all do it. Cab is tight and cab mounts are all good. Only way around it is to box the frame.

[@thomasdrummond1147]

Can confirm. I can tell how good or bad a road is depending on my cab-to-bed line after parking. They move all the time

[@Ifugiveubegin2live]

Y'all know they did the killer dowl pin is the killer dowl pin a thing in marine Cummins?

[@hodsonmotors]

Yes it is! Was the first thing we checked on the engine.

[@highplainshollarhomestead3188]

So, I have a 1988 F250 7.3 Supercab longbed 4x4 xlt lariat. I absolutely love my truck. Just did new paint last year, and a gearvendors unit. Would love to do a 12v swap. I've got a couple videos on my channel if anyone wants to check it out.

[@TheDingmann]

The back windows are 2 pieces under the trim, can't just take the piece off

[@claylund6717]

Are ya fom Utah man

[@justinpospisil5011]

shell still an option if the winner wants it?

[@hodsonmotors]

Yes 100%!

[@nefarious559]

7:27 *bullnosing 😂

[@Matthepcat]

Was this Ford a diesel from the factory? Not sure I saw that detail. (Matters for smog)

[@MrHarriskl18]

0:03 🤷‍♂️ dont get why its being given away either your nutz

[@captainobvious6334]

I love the original paint but if you spend 30k on a paint job and it cracks or flakes 2 years later you got shafted lol

[@hodsonmotors]

It's just paint quality now a days. When we paint a truck, we're sandblasting to bare metal, and using high ends paints like PPG and House of Kolor. Paint back in the day gave people cancer, but lasts forever 😂

[@captainobvious6334]

@@hodsonmotors lol. I’d still hate to spend house buying money for a 2 year painter job

[@hodsonmotors]

@@captainobvious6334 absolutely. I hate it too, that's the reasoning behind my opinion, I would way rather have nice original paint!

[@thetrutha2177]

Patina means cheap.

[@thetrutha2177]

Lmao, this dude doesn't know what he's talking about. The f350 had a ttb 50 from 1980-1986. That's an 1986-1991 dana 60. He doesn't even even know why people want a snow fighter 60 which won't fit this truck

[@hodsonmotors]

No sir, it was 1985 when the f350 went away from TTB. I obviously know that snowfighters are the best axle, that's why I say BESIDES the snowfighter, the kingpin Dana 60 is the best axle. But I can smell a hater from a mile away, I know you're just jealous you don't have the truck. But keep on commenting, I love it 😂

[@KatieHoetger-rw7oe]

Holy smokes! The bullnose truck has been the love of my life since I was a kid and this one takes the cake. A job very well done to all you guys and the previous owner. I’ll be trying my luck in this giveaway 🤍

[@WASHINGTONSTATEDOGTRAINER]

NOISY INSIDE THAT OLD MONSTER !!!!!!! SORRY BUT IT FAILS THE BUILD !!!!

[@hodsonmotors]

Huh? Did you not hear the part of the video where I talk about how it's quieter than any other Cummins swapped truck I've driven? And I've driven probably 20 other Cummins swapped trucks? 😂

[@WASHINGTONSTATEDOGTRAINER]

@@hodsonmotors OH OK AND YES I HEARD THAT BUT IT IS JUST TO NOISY FOR ME THATS ALL , GOOD TIMES !!!!!!! BUT I HAVE OLD FORDS ....

[@boobacockaa]

So who added the Cummins, you or the previous owner? And why the f-ing yellow carpet? That was lazy bro.
