finally someone who puts a ford engine in a ford truck seems like most guys go the easy way and do a LS swap

[@fredthegraycatt]

Agreed. I don't care what the make, always power a vintage vehicle by an original manufacturer name engine. It is an immediate turn off when I see a different make engine powering the vehicle.

[@FordEra]

I think majority of ford trucks i see are still baring the ford motor. I think its probably 1 out of 10 have an LS

[@mikehubbard1067]

I was at two car shows over the summer and 3 out of 4 were ford with LS motors

[@fredthegraycatt]

@@mikehubbard1067 That is generally what I see when you see these vintage Ford truck restomods for sale, some flavor of Chevy engine. I just don't get it.

[@richardmitton4115]

Thank God! So tired of seeing the crossdressers! Great truck!

[@superczech69]

[@randysrestoration]

Awesome truck! Hard to beat the Gen3 Coyote. Talking about Roadster Shop chassis friend has one on order for his ‘56 BelAir and it’s supposed to show up at my place here mid December. Already has a LS3 swap we did. Friend will be 81 yrs old October 2nd.

[@ridinout6308]

Beautiful truck! Done up perfectly 👍

[@brandonswepston1745]

Love this truck! This is the way to do it in my opinion! Nice modern day subtle touches but retain most of the original look aesthetically👍🏻 nice job!

[@FordEra]

[@dalerocheleau58]

Love the simplicity on top,high tech underneath.

[@FordEra]

Many thanks!

[@jerryetcittyjr3361]

Very nice 👍

[@captainschannel9331]

Great video

[@FordEra]

thanks for watching

[@fredthegraycatt]

Anyone that insists on starting off with a Roadster Shop chassis is dedicated to making that vehicle drivable by modern standards, and that is what keeps a historic vehicle such as this super cool to drive, instead of rusting away in a field and beaten to death by nature.

[@FordEra]

Amen

[@caseyhaner4686]

That is a great truck

[@FordEra]

sure is

[@caseyhaner4686]

I would love to ride in that truck

[@frankfitz3421]

Daily driver 🤟

[@jimmymccormick142]

Awesome truck Ford powered forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars l love it

[@FordEra]

[@jeffstephens7958]

Awesome truck just wondering what transmission did you put in Snickers behind the 7.3 Godzilla

[@FordEra]

it has a 4l80

[@terryleeslaughter4611]

Ford in a Ford…the way it should be

[@pete-dv9uc]

I'v got one....Just need HOOD TRIM ?

[@scottalvey1787]

I’d like to know what size wheel and tires he has on it?

[@GiancarloFloyd]

This is my favorite truck y’all have interviewed the owner over.

[@FordEra]

thanks for watching

[@davegerrard6857]

Needs to do the body and paint work and actually finish it!

[@FordEra]

i guess you didnt listen to what he was saying. He has a perfect restoration 1968 Mustang Shelby GT500 and doesnt enjoy it because its too nice

[@davegerrard6857]

@@FordEra no such thing as to nice! Just drive it! Its all in his head. Driving them is the most rewarding part. This whole rusted and Patina thing is just a poor excuse for not spending the money and effort to actually finishing a vehicle! Its actually very degrading and pathetic!

[@jaynecobb6711]

​@@davegerrard6857 I don't know. Not a patina guy. To me, patina is rust and damage to the metal. But to me, well, the sub par original paint, it fits the character of the truck. Iam in two minds on this one.

[@deathprooff1972]

where do these guy get the cash flow for all this madness lol mann I wish my f1 was like this I can barely afford a carb rebuild kit now day's
