Very few kids get to enjoy that kind of power, respect it and appreciate it! My 18 year old kid was driving a 900hp orange terminator and my other kid who turn 18 was also driving a 500hp orange convertible terminator. Not easy as a dad! Always that fear of something happening. They are now in their late 20s and 30s. Stay safe and enjoy! I drove a 1971 Mach 1 to high school.

[@FordEra]

That is awesome! He definitely respects that truck

[@danbourg76]

This is such a cool build. I love that he kept the truck looking mostly original. The 76' grill is perfect and that bolt action Coyote is a screamer! Mint👌

[@FordEra]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kcspaintshop]

THATS MY BOY!!!

Beast F100! The best part of these classic trucks is keeping the nostalgia alive with our kiddos! To top that… coyote and whipple = Super Beast🎉

[@FordEra]

Right, how can it not be a BEAST

[@alejandroortega4830]

This inspired me. I inherited a shortbox 4x4 from my dad. It was one of his prized possessions. This inspired me to keep it as original as possible. It’s been sitting in Mexico for decades. Under some shelter for most of that time. But it’s pretty solid. I get offers on it all the time. I planned on restoring her 100% before I brought her to her new home. Now I’m not so sure. I just want to ship it to me now and see what I can do with my own hands. Like this kid. So much respect for him. Everything this kid did down to naming the truck and putting it on the plate. Just wow.

Cool Truck! Love the content Solomon.

Glad you enjoy it!

Sweet ride Luke! Turned out great!

In 1978 my parents bought me a 1974 Ford F-250 2wd with a 6.4 litre 390 FE motor with a 4 barrel carb a 4 speed and 1 ton brakes and springs for 2,200 $$$. A year later my dad blew the motor up and I had 750 bucks to get and put a different motor in .I got another 390 motor for 100$ and took both motors apart and rebuilt the 100 motor. My uncle Rich worked in the parts department for a Ford dealer so I got parts from him at a good price. The cam was the same that was in the Mustang bullit 390 motors so with headers and dual exhaust the truck ran really stout. There is a ton of $$$$ in that 1976 F100.

[@FordEra]

That’s an awesome story man, thanks for sharing

[@russellweber4334]

@@FordEra Just think what a 4 year old Ford truck like that today would cost. The prices on trucks today are crazy.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

Nice work.. Reminds me of my childhood in the early 90's.. I found a 79 F100 with 460 and near perfect interior a year before getting my license.. I knew this was a rare truck as it was originally a Indy 500 pace truck.. Got it with 74k miles for $2200 bucks.. Not running, as trans was smoked.. I got the trans rebuilt, my pops got the motor rebuilt .30over new heads, cam, intake & carb.. along with LT Headers & dual flowmaster 2 chambers.. I then got a mayco paint job for literally like $450 in all black.. It was the sweetest truck in town.. Went to college and sold it to a farmer in town for $5500 in 2002.. Its the one vehicle I wish I never sold.. The same guy's son owns it now I see it occationally and they know I want it back.. I only pray for that day, unfortunately its gonna cost me $20-25k to get it back but its worth every penny to me..

[@leecook7904]

Dope ass truck. I used to drive a mid 70’s ford truck of a friends that was a 3 speed on the column. So damn fun to drive.

[@dco956]

Awesome video.....love that truck....everything about it !!!!

[@FordEra]

Thanks for watching!

[@roymiller6964]

Love the patina on that truck and love the fact he used a coyote engine instead of an ls swap.

[@BrianRaby998VL]

Now that’s a cool truck..👊

[@LiborioDavalos]

Cool beans Luke!

[@FordEra]

😁

[@zeeelander]

A custom kick panel for that A/C would be cool. Awesome truck, I wish I still had my 79..

[@shaneswayze6228]

Badass truck..I had a 68 Ford Ranger drove it threw high school owned it for about 15 hrs I sold it to buy a 5.0 mustang I wished now I would have kept it.ford power 💪

[@FordEra]

we all have the one that got away

[@markcarter5491]

Thats for sure a cool truck. If it were mine i think i would paint it the flat color like KC’s 48. I haven’t seen a flat red anywhere, so if u find the right color to go flat it for sure would rock!!!

[@ltsgarage7898]

They don’t mention the fact that the suspension cost up around 8,000.00 dollars just to buy it. Then to get it put on . Then the motor. Yup they don’t have to much money invested in this truck !!! Make it look 👀 old. That’s a brand new truck under all that old school look. I would love to see what his bottom line is?????????

[@FordEra]

Why do we need to mention what someone can google. This truck is likely worth $125,000/150,000 in my opinion it’s a very high end build but he uses it which is awesome

[@user-iu8pr7zf4n]

Love the truck. I personally have a bull nose which I purchased in 1987.

[@ltsgarage7898]

@@FordEra I have a 74 F100 just like it. I was putting all Jaguar suspension under it until I had a couple of strokes. Life has slowed down for me now. Don’t know if I’ll ever finish it now!

Nice truck what is your did you think about the ridetech suspension?

[@FordEra]

I personally liked it alot. I thought it felt really good and tight

[@kcspaintshop]

We love it!

Thanks for the reply I have a 71 f100 I saw the ridetech suspension when it came out but never saw anybody review it. It looks more stable than QA1

Striping is Legendary vintage accents that went on thru decades and decades! Nice touch kid! I’m not sure what this guy is talking about saying you weren’t sure about what’s under the hood lol. I understood you perfectly. Maybe if he slowed down the bouncing off the walls and making the viewers sea sick lol as well as talking over the people he’s interviewing

[@justinbrown3599]

I had a 67 dent short wide with a 351 Cleveland and it was by no means as clean or nice as his but at 16 i thought i was the shit. I built and paid for everything on it and wax greatful to have it. It was my Dad's first then my brother's so it ment alot i wish i still had it. But life happens and you have to give up things sometimes. I love that hes level headed and greatful. Killed dentside.

Sounds like a cool truck you had
