Aaron Kaufman shows us his 1979 F250 4x4 Daily Driver Dentside!

[@officialmallcrawler]

You can tell Aaron is passionate about his craft in the way he describes the trucks that he builds in a seamless informative matter.

[@FordEra]

he loves this stuff so much

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

Absolutely. There's times in presenting, it's time to shut up and let the man who passionate about his craft speak. We seen this here and David Freiburger did the same with Clay Millican. Only ad in or ask questions when absolutely needed. Great work. Great truck.

[@spyder000069]

I miss seeing Aaron on TV. Love his passion on his projects.

[@XC797]

When not being interrupted , Aaron gives an excellent presentation of his custom creation .

[@FordEra]

Thanks for watching, the point of my videos is to be informative but mainly i do it so i can get to see these trucks and bring you all along for the experience it’s in my point of view and i could have just enjoyed my time and not made a video

[@YoLo-dc1uy]

Thank you for making it ​@@FordEra

[@todddonaldson2822]

Perfect and proper truck. 3 pedals to boot. Would love to have it here in the rust belt

[@blocheadz]

Not sure I agree. Aaron is clearly comfortable in front of a camera but this is an interview and should be a two way conversation. Aaron is almost stealing all the air IMO.

[@Zedsdead83]

I seen nor herd no interruptions😂 but A Aron talks like he just railed something nice tho.

[@wayphun72]

Love Aaron...good for you for scoring this moment with an icon.

[@FordEra]

He’s awesome

[@patrickzabron3622]

Aaron, you were pretty much the only reason why I watched gas monkey garage. Loved your skill and what you added to the show. Enjoyed seeing you back in a video.

[@floridadawg9857]

Great content...... Aaron is a super cool dude and miss seeing him on the tube

[@FordEra]

me too

[@jamescrooks2308]

Aaron is a genuine down to earth guy love watching his creations

[@louismorris6813]

I love that he builds trucks to be trucks and not Mall crawlers and show pieces, nothing wrong with a little show but function is key!

[@younglivin2397]

Aaron’s got golden retriever energy I love it 😂

[@FordShelby-i6z]

Love it!!!! Had a 1979 f250, bought it from a fireman, who almost polished through the paint and when he showed me the receipts for maintenance, my Dad [a Ford dealer mechanic] was the only other person to have worked on it. Straight away to the cash machine!!!!!

[@johnsarian_cu]

Robert RedFord is a great name. Good to see he's still going strong with builds, too.

[@FordEra]

I thought it was a good one too

[@BD-qq4fn]

Aaron Kaufman……god he’s a sight for sore eyes! Great post! Glad you guys connected!

[@Mach1bud]

Dude I wish I could find someone like Aaron in my life that was as passionate talking about his projects as I am. I could listen to him all day as long as he listened to me ramble afterwards lol.

[@FordEra]

thats facts

[@cheeze2730]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video, I am restoring my 79 short bed that I’ve had 32 years and I need a bed . I have 2 perfect long beds!!!!!!

[@johnnydodge]

Aaron I spent many hours blasting on your Falcon. It turned out awesome Thank you to You and KC for the opportunity. I even made it on to Discovery and the show. Johnny from Kennedale

[@brad4407]

Never felt better about my 77, and now I'm inspired to start wrenching on it some more. Little jealous of the 90s mod but I like my '69 carbed 429/c6 too.

[@RandyCrane-q7j]

I still have my 79 3/4 ton 4x4 that I drove of the dealership lot with around 3 miles on it. Still bone stock but in need of some restoration and mild modifications. When I am gone it goes to my son’s house. Wish I had an Aron as a neighbor needing some help from a carpenter.

[@michaellauer3397]

I miss my 77 swb 300 4spd more than any vehicle I’ve owned. It was my buddy for 285,000 miles. No stupid “lift kit” just 33” tires. Went everywhere. Of course the national 55mph speed limit helped… 😜

[@joshrobertson3044]

One hell of a fabricator. I’m not a ford guy but respect the work that Aaron does.

[@bobbolieu9013]

These trucks with the Super long Leaf Spring Suspension rode so incredibly smooth.

[@wesinbama]

I wish Aaron would get back to making videos again.

[@FordEra]

me too, but atleast he is still building cool trucks

[@countrymule9623]

I'd drive that thing daily and never give these new things a glance, which I haven't given any make in decades. Perfect daily driver rig!!!!!!!!!!

[@1HeavyWrench]

I really like how he used the OE fuel injection and kept a Ford in a Ford. Those are damn good engines, I managed a fleet of 100+ vans/trucks back in the early 2000's with 302/351's and some of those had 300k+ hard miles on them.

[@FordEra]

they are solid if you know them

[@bobuncle8704]

What a clean build. Wish more were like this. Simple and functional. Wish there was more of Aaron’s work to see, or a channel to watch

[@FordEra]

he just likes to build and stay quiet

[@sdvten]

Clean build? LOL. Thing is rusted up and filty. I remember when good builders knew how to do paint and body work too.

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Not me

[@Nichole-440HP]

Did you watch the video ? He purposely left the original patina and just fixed it mechanically . A lot of builders do that .

[@richardw.smithjr.6683]

Miss those F-250 Ford 4-Wheel Drive trucks from the 1978 era. Don't see them very often. Great video, sir.

[@FordEra]

I do too! They were the best!

[@richardw.smithjr.6683]

@FordEra Thanks Aaron for the comment.

[@joejoe-qn4hu]

Sweet truck. I had a 78 f-250 4x4 what a great truck it was. Bone stock 351m single exhaust t-18 4 speed 205 t-case 3.54 gears. Only thing I did I put a 4-in Skyjacker suspension lift posi rear end 38.5x14.50x16.5 super swampers. The truck was a silent Beast that could Cruise 75/80 mph down the highway and Conquer quite a bit off road for what it was.

[@FordEra]

That’s a great setup!

[@danielsteyn7464]

It's great to see that Aaron Kaufman is still doing what he wants the way he wants it. 🎉

[@BuilttoCreate]

He didn't build it to impress anybody...impressed the hell out of me.

[@FordEra]

isnt that the best

[@BuilttoCreate]

@@FordEra yes, awesome truck.

[@390fe451]

Finally someone speaks on the square headlights! Round with black surrounds looks so much better!

[@bdcrews07]

Had no idea he moved to Colorado. He used to live around the corner from me, but now that I think about it I haven’t been over that way in about 2 years 😂. Very cool truck!

[@FordEra]

Yes sir moved to cooler weather

[@brandonjusblong]

I’m with Aaron on the round headlights sweet ride I love it

[@FordEra]

i guess he isnt so crazy

[@chadriddle3517]

Aaron just as enthusiastic as ever and still just as creative! Great time this was

[@57northphoto32]

Great video, Aaron always come across as a decent guy with no airs and graces. Fantastic engineer with an amazing attention to detail. 👍🏻

[@mapquestHs]

Super sweet dentside!!! So many great budget ideas shared here. Thank you!

[@FordEra]

Glad you liked it!

[@micahdubas9454]

Awesome looking truck. Great job aaron. Glad to see you working on vehicles again.

[@Photobombin]

I remember Kaufman checking out my 2015 Subaru WRX when I got it new. I had just gotten brand new wheels that poked just a bit, no normal person would notice but Kaufman did and he teased me over it and ever since then I've never poked again haha. Miss that guy, really cool truck made by a cool dude. Thanks for another Solo!

[@gerryhartung736]

I have an 350SD, 2008,6.4 model. Deleted 4x4 18s, 230,000 mi. I think it is one heck of a ride. Pull 27 ft travel trailer arount western states. Only major problem, 5 teeth off flex plate. Replaced flex plate, rear seal (not leaking), temp sensor in trans, Bilsteens f/r, rebilt front end, new steering box, complete A C system o/h, no def, no payments, $700 used canopy,used basket, painted my old gas cans yellow, homemade brackets for them and traction boards, two rifle cases on basket for misc, wishing I had diesel truck earlier on in my 80 y/o life. Other truck a 2015 k1500 (town truck), both trucks will last me the rest of my life. No 70,000 trucks, bought and paid for, super reliable, not beaters!

[@Dan-be3ln]

I would reather have this truck then a new one it’s a pice of art

[@FordEra]

it sure is

[@WorkHardPlayHard-mm3xx]

So good to see Aaron. I'm in Australia and he is a freaking legend over here. Good to see ya man.

[@johnmcalisterjr3913]

I love the old trucks

[@mitchellswartz9197]

Congrats on a great build Aaron. Love your creative fabricating mind and skills!

[@Stonecoldou]

I agree with Aaron on the headlights. Awesome truck. Love it just as it is.

[@FordEra]

They really make the truck look cool.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

I have had a couple '73 to '79s great rigs. The one I have now is a '79 F 350 4x4 with a 4-53T Detroit Diesel with a 10 spd od road ranger still under construction. Did a few short bed conversions over the years for people, we shortened the beds from the front instead of cutting the middle of the bed. Sexy ride.

[@FordEra]

Sounds like a beast!

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

She will be when I get her finished

[@davidsonneman1121]

My dad always ran Jimmy’s in his trucks. That 2 stroke sound takes me back to my childhood. I too have a 79 f350 4x4. Cool build!!

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

It sounds bad ass, she's got jakes to

[@FrankCaffeine]

Looks great, I love a build that has so many hidden details

[@FordEra]

I thought the same thing.

[@Rusty_Dents]

Great video. I wish he would have stayed with KZbin and building cool F100's, especially the 4X4 trucks like this. Appreciate you catching up with him and giving us an update.

[@FordEra]

I’ll keep you posted if I see him working on another truck soon.

[@Rusty_Dents]

@@FordEra Appreciate that. Does he still have a KZbin channel? I used to be subscribed to it and can't find it now.

[@Rusty_Dents]

@@FordEra Never mind, I found his channel. He hasn't posted anything in 5 years

[@davidgxp2156]

Functional build and I dig the original body/paint. I remember when Aaron threw a fit about a 454 (for a Corvette) that was painted fresh from the machine shop "Bright" Chevy orange. He said it didn't match the rest of the original car and burned the paint off with oil. I believe he also built a Ford Falcon to his desire with Richard's money for Pikes Peak and ended up buying it from him before it left the shop!

[@michaelp9759]

An amazing truck, so well done. That guy missed his calling, he could definitely be doing this for a living.

[@FordEra]

he is doing it for a living

[@jamesblackwell5141]

What an awesome truck! Great Mountain view too. Great to see you guys doing what you love!

[@FordEra]

It’s our pleasure to share it with you!

[@solomonkane223]

Dude, that is a thing of beauty.

[@mycontinental3611]

My 78 came with round head lights. Back in the 90s I converted to square head lights I like them. The round looks good too. Mine is a factory F-150 short bed. I'm going to get back on the road this summer.

[@RockyJimmy553]

Nice to see Aaron again!

[@TheBigcatrider]

Big fan or Aaron since gas nokey. great build I learned how to drive in a 79 f250 4x4 had the rd head lights 351 mf 400 4 speed. Best truck ford has ever made.

[@WyoWellTester]

Seemed a lil geeked

[@marklee2412]

Snort it Rip it Slam it

[@angryretrogamer7313]

Tweaked

[@kennybeaudrie9021]

That voice… I would’ve never known who that was until he spoke. So passionate and intelligent.

[@leprechaungarage]

I agree with Aaron , around headlights are the best headlights . 77 is my favorite nose , might be biased since an early 77 highboy 4 speed is what I learned to drive back in the day . Wish I could find my dad’s old silver ford .

[@Scott16144]

What a great truck and presentation.

[@FordEra]

Glad you liked it.

[@billybudd9994]

Man, I just watched 5 minutes of this video until I figured out who this guy is. The name sounded familiar but I didn't recognize him. Glad he's still doing great things with cars/trucks!

[@robertwells6454]

I like the round lights but to Me all the Bumps & Dents look cool. 🤘😎

[@rogerchevelle8543]

Awesome Truck. I subbed to the channel just for this. Aaron is a talented dude

[@FordEra]

Appreciate it!

[@Choppipappi17]

Absolutely perfect build

[@FordEra]

It sure is

[@jamesrankin9833]

It’s good to see Arron!! I’d take that truck over a brand new one all day long!!

[@FordEra]

Yep! It's hard to beat these old trucks!

[@aredman22]

I agree with him on the headlights, the streamlined tires, simple camping, but I still like the forward rake on old trucks.

[@davidsonneman1121]

Beautiful country and a neat old truck

[@glb5053]

That's a cool dentside. It's nice to see Aaron's well.

[@hermangarman177]

The best looking headlights setup better then the square ones !!! Nice truck

[@ktmcc4360]

My 97sbsc is a short bed on a long bed frame. 137"perfection.

[@FordEra]

I like that setup!

[@GabeHelma]
