My man! Thank you for this much appreciated! Making my journey of truck restoration easier

Any time!

I have a 70 4x4 International. The transfer case cracked me up because that truck has the sticker on the dash and on the nob. Great video!

Nice job on the walk around! 🙂 That old Ford doesn't look too bad but like you said, things can start to add up. Body is nice and rust free though 👍🔧

[@CVcustoms]

Very true!

[@blindtomsadventures2067]

Nice walk around but I would definitely check a lot more than that if I was looking at a truck cab mounts floorboards cab bushings the rails and the bad shock mounts all kinds of things I would definitely check if I was looking at a truck a lot more than what you did steering components what is leaking

[@CVcustoms]

Thanks for the tips!

Jason! My husband is working on one, Georges truck is in better shape than one my man is working on. I love them tires! My husband done some restoration to rims, turned out good. (You had Oreily autoparts commercial and st.judes one awe🤗) other than water pump issue, mptpr looks good. dashboard is in good shape, love old pioneer stereos! You right Jason its gonna be a doozy prpject

+ check the cab mounts... if the hood is closed and you still see from the side a opening : < shape , the mounts are toasted ! anyways, well explained. definitely worth to put money in it !!

My 74 F100 has a factory 4x4 operation sticker on the dash plus the pattern was on the original knob. they where also different whether it was the 203 or 205, not sure on the year and application at this time though. I'm using 79 Bronco drivetrain in mine, 400, C6, 203 T-case, all rebuilt and setting covered up while I work on the chassis and body stuff...

Great video! Very informative! Recently started following the channel I’m currently restoring a 1970 f100 2wd hope to learn some things from you!

[@CVcustoms]

You can do it!

@@CVcustoms thanks man! If your interested in seeing some pics and updates let me know! [e-mail]. Hit me up!

A lot of good information and excellent run down of the major areas of concern ty. also i noticed the coil has been relocated. i've heard different stories about the coil getting to hot on the engine but also if your engine running properly shouldn't be a concern. curious your opinion. ty for the videos.👍 🍁🍁

[@CVcustoms]

thanks for watching ... gotta talk to the owner to see if we go further

[@shilohgardner]

Great video. I’m curious though because I wouldnt do a project like that without pulling engine tearing down and buy missing parts. So in those cases are the motor issues even a problem. I’ve got a 78 now working on but looking for my next one.

[@76southernpride]

I really like watching your videos. You pull no punches, and tell it like it is. I'm 45, and my dad taught me a lot of things look for, when buying these older vehicles. I've owned several of these dent sides, and you pointed out some things dad never told me about. One question though, what brand and size tires are those?

[@pstreetgarage7304]

That is a great old truck. These issues seem kind of minor. Looks like someone started, it just needs to be finished. But of course everything costs money. I would take a truck like this over a new one any day.

[@fomocoloco7172]

Lol i bought my "project" a year ago and it's just been sitting there smh

[@SuperJay1711]

let me know if you are interested in selling, have one that I need parts for or a new project not as challenging as the one I have

[@twofeathers6540]
