Changing Up My F100 BIG TIME With THESE!

[@jackwatters9502]

Truck looks a million times better with the caps. Love that look

[@Thecraig909]

I appreciate it!

[@todddenio3200]

I would paint the ring on those hubcaps black but I would paint the lettering RED... I think it would contrast great and look AWESOME.

[@georqedubyakush6066]

todd denio i came here to say the lettering would look sick red, glad im not the only one with ricey ideas lmaoo

[@todddenio3200]

@@georqedubyakush6066 in the 60s and early 70s Ford used the black and red combo on some of their hubcaps such as the GT wheels on Mustangs and Torino's with the 7 inch center caps. They looked great.

[@justinw.2376]

I think that would look so cool with those caps being Wimbledon white with black letters and black stripe around

[@whitelightnings1978]

That Mercury crew cab slick was AWESOME!

[@blazinSpike]

That's what a car show should be. Very cool keep up the great work

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

You have been an inspiration for me.. I have watched the transformation of your truck and I started a channel showcasing my '71 F100 "Casper". Thanks for helping keep Hot Rodding Alive

[@BluecollarOtaku]

Love watching the car show scene. Used to go to shows all the time up to high school 10 years ago. Keep it up.

[@patrickduncan9724]

My 81 F100 came with those caps. Went white 5 spoke with chrome center caps and lugs. Was a black truck bought new at El Cajon Ford.

[@Thecraig909]

That’s rad I drive past there every day.

@@Thecraig909 I love what youre doing dude keep doing it

[@chazer200]

Well done! As the caps,,, I would suggest doing a AGED look, MATCH the truck! I like them (didn't think I would), don't paint them like new, MATCH the AMAZING truck. Thank you for all your efforts and sharing!!!

[@PaganWizard]

If you haven't already painted your hub caps, look into 2 part epoxy resin. It comes clear, and you can tint it to whatever color you want.

[@davidwright3390]

Clean ass truck with those caps I agree with you with black lettering and stripe it will look clean....

[@Thecraig909]

Thanks man!

[@epicfail36]

Run a return line on your fuel system the fuel pump will run cooler and last longer then if it's just deadheading

[@ryanhawkins1235]

Cool video. Nice clip of the Mercury truck, those were sold in Canada, hub caps good.

[@ronaldroybal6091]

Great work that you do Craig. Thank you for all your hard work with videoing and keeping us up to date.I wanted to know what has happened to the your friends Dodge Ram Charger?

[@314jeepsnmopars3]

Yeah I've been wondering about that for awhile.

[@jp360ford2]

I love the steel rim with center caps/dog dish covers. I just discovered your channel. You got a new subscriber! Our similarities are uncanny, you’re just further ahead of me in the game! Lol! I’ve got a 1969 Ford Explorer that my dad bought brand new. I also have a 1959 Fairlane that I hope to have going this year. Great content! Thanks FoMoCo brother!

[@randyhawkins6659]

I had a '72 with 15x8s with those hubcaps. I always liked them.

[@huntsman5226]

Looks like a good time the hub caps will look sweet when you get the black line and letters

[@nathan4919]

The caps will set it off so much brother seen a old Ford tonight patina looked so cool I think early 70s and I have a model 69 nova hope to mimic that Nova of your friend

[@ozmister101]

not all the hub caps were painted it specifically had to with if it was a base model or not. some came with the outer beauty rings depending on the car. the black ring would look nice on it. very few came with the lettering painted since it had to be hand painted. but it is a very nice touch to add to it.

[@corinnewhetstone2778]

i like the hub caps i have the little original caps on my 1964 fairlanes i have a 4 door and a 2 door they both rock the poverty caps lol

[@nickgrillo4830]

Im a sucker for dog dishes. Looks good on there!

What would really look good is some 15 x 10” Steelies on the back on 295’s That’s what I rock on my 1960 F 100

That firebird Hella sweet love the hub caps man 🤙🏻

[@OtisENGINEuity]

Craig if you had $3500 and were willing to come up to NorCal for it, there's a 67 F100 that's in pretty good shape that you could steal the engine and trans out of for your Galaxie and then just put a small block in it... The thing has a 4brl 427/C6 in it! I want to go buy it so bad just to pull the engine and put a small block in it.. (that and screw around a bit with that big block in it and no weight, that must be a serious handful!) The engine alone is worth that much. It's on Craigslist Sacramento if you want to look for it.

[@Fordf-td6wq]

Your truck makes me excited for my project I really love your interior where did you get your gauges?

[@jaxseneggert470]

I love to watch you videos because I have a 69 F100 long bed 2 wheel drive! I am only 13 but I cant wait to see were you truck goes and giving ideas for my truck. Keep up the good work!

[@dallasdelano8235]

I love the hubcaps.

[@KnuckleHeadGarage27]

What the reason for caping off the vacuum advance for ? That would probably cause problems?

[@Thecraig909]

I have a lot of initial timing so it doesn’t advance too far. I have 12 degrees and my mechanical advance puts it right at 34 total. So there’s no need

[@ironcookie409]

Huh caps are definitely a cool old school look. They’ll look super sick done up.

[@slick-px4pq]

I found a big box of these style caps at a garage sale. Didn't need any but the box said $5 so I grabbed it. There were 48 of them. I hung them on the wall of my shop. How much did you pay for them? Just wondering what they're worth.

[@Thecraig909]

$50 for the set

[@JeepinDan]

Man those caps are mint! I need to find a set for mine.

[@orlandopadilla8304]

I put a piece of foam rubber between the electric pump and underside of my cab to minimize the noise from the pump. Hardly hear it now.

You should paint the ring on the cap black and the lettering black. It would make it contrast better.

[@aaronvincent103]

Paint the hubcaps same color as the truck, otherwise I'd lose em

Awesome video mate, and I’ve added another car show to my ever growing list! 👌🏼

[@Granite]

Why arent you running a vacuum advance?

[@Thecraig909]

Because I have 12 degrees initial timing to the mechanical advance in the distributor pulls it right to 34. If I had vacuum on it it would advance too far.

[@peterpower0495]

If your dead set on running an electric fuel pump for the truck i'd say you should invest in a fuel pump control module so it just pluses or runs the pump as needed instead of running all the time it would help keep from burning the pump up

[@Thecraig909]

I like that idea! I’ll definitely check that out thanks

Craig imo. one of the best looking wheels for a 67/72 f-100 is the Cragar SS. also the American Racing Torque Thrust D,s. On my 67 f-100 swb I have the Cragar SS,s. Finding some cool rims in the old Ford bolt pattern can be kinda tough.

Wheels looks badass with the caps. I’d say keep, that’s just me

[@meangenevstheworld.7773]

You changed the pump and still didn't put rubber bushings on it ? Also you can rebuild those pumps. They are notorious for leaking.

[@Thecraig909]

There are 3 bushings in it. It’s still noisy because it’s bolted directly to the frame. So no bushing really will quiet that down.
