Rebuilding the new Shop Truck - Gas Monkey Builds

One of my favorite builds of gas monkey old 4x4’s don’t get enough love in my opinion simple,clean and every day functional. Way to go!

I love this type of video, you go at the vehicle and make it a reliable daily driver. No polish or glitter just a good driver. Thanks for making these videos to remind us what just some good wrenchin will get you.

[@traviskessinger9822]

So cool seeing you keep the 351M! I built one dropped it in an 82 4wd short bed and it was soooooo rad! Duel exhaust, glass packs sounded great bored out with RV cam!

I'm with you bud that s*** hurt my head how many times do you have to jiggle the shifter to make sure it's in neutral and it does not do any good to move the shifter if you're riding around with the clutch pedal to the floor

The 1979 Ford truck has been my favorite SINCE 1979. They have hit collector status now.

bought a 1979 F250 351M granny low 4 speed in 1990..my graduation gift to myself..drove it till i got engaged in 1999. Loved that truck it would pull a house off its foundation.

[@chadpyett6441]

Great video Richard good to see someone keep these old girls on the road

[@RustyWells2]

You better hang on to this dude Richard he knows his shit and that's hard to find now a days and he not afraid of the camera and that's damn near impossible to find these days!

[@Tupaistella]

Yup for sure..he love what he's doing

[@rustyneuron]

Damn right. Its like some of the people who help these content creators like Richard and even Dennis, while nice guys, just force their bosses to have to draw every single word out of them when the camera is on. Its like they are afraid it is going to grow teeth and bite them. This guy here though is cool as can be on camera-- just says it like it is and talks to the viewers like he is explaining it to a good friend under a shade tree over a couple of cold ones. Def a keeper.

[@larryjohnson7591]

Love the truck. I like the old Ford trucks, and especially the granny gear 4 speed. Thanks Richard.

[@darwinoak2611]

If this is going to south Dakota. Don't forget to test anti freeze to 40 below. A warm thermostat. 195 or better. Studded chains for tires. And possibly snow plow set up. Don't forget the weights in the back so it does not spin around. BTW a block heater so you can plug it in.

[@davidclemdis4796]

I can watch restoring old trucks all day; I love it when you keep it as original as you can( Old school) but with a little flair ; The gas monkey touch to it.

[@TheDieseldog]

Man that engine turned out niiiiice 👌🏼

[@stephentabor9308]

Had a '76 2wd short bed with a 360 in high school. Was stolen right out of the high school parking lot in the middle of the day........was a bad day. My dad had wanted to swap out with a 460 from my grandfather's Lincoln Continental.

[@mattjohnson7316]

Glad you kept it original

[@jamesemmeneckersr.1875]

My first truck was '79 F250. A farmer ordered it with 1 ton axles 400 C6 4x4. I bought in 82. I started my company with it. I grew it to 18 trucks. I sold my company on '04. I still have it. It needs a full rebuild. You guys find a decent body hit me up.

[@paulshamblin6260]

I like the way Richard knew to check the new wheels for balance before mounting tires. Experience.

[@dewighthackney149]

351M same bell housing as A 460 ! I swapped mine with a 460 1972 Lincoln Cont ! Only had to change the motor mounts ! Best division I ever made! ❤

[@br549junior]

@dewighthackney149 I had a 460 in 4x4 svc truck once. Best truck I ever worked out of. 460 is a great engine.

[@paulshamblin6260]

I'm no expert but my first thought was find a 460. I didn't even know that about the bell housing. They did a great job on the truck. Richard seems more layed back. Calling the shots and letting the guys do their jobs. I wonder why they didn't build that engine in house?

[@augustusappling139]

i remember hearing that but are you saying you could bolt a 460 up to a 400/351m transmission?

[@dmrmuller]

I love Rich's answer to problems. Say it out loud. Throw money at her. Send her to surgery 😂😂

[@mannyautokeys3424]

Hey Richard a buddy of mine is looking to get rid of his Ford and I see this truck being a good part of your collection . It is a 69/70 Ford 8 lug stairway airport truck . I can see it sitting pretty with fat wheels used as a stairway up to a second floor patio ,

[@UncleGo67]

You Changed the Outflow.. Now you Gatta have it Breath…😎 lol Nice Touches, little bit of Today… Remembering yesterday’s Vibe. Richard is going to Drive the Piss out of That up at Sturges ..😎👍✅👏

[@kb9liq]

After almost 2 years without a working car we now are using a 93 GMC pickup that has been sitting for 9 years. Would be nice to have the funds to just fix things like you did here. Like the wipers work when they want to. It only has 96,000 on it which is the best part.

[@Ryanfantana]

Great truck, Search gm wiper module fix, you can probably resolder the pins to fix it

[@tractorguy207]

Dream truck, my dad's favorite truck he ever had was a 79 Ford 4x4 short bed he had in Forest Green.

[@br549junior]

78&79 4x4 were absolutely best ford trucks made since 1956

[@Jeffwho78]

​@@br549juniorI agree 💯💯💯 I have a 78 f150 302-306

[@RobertAdamis]

My dad just gave me his 77 F150 4x4 shortbed with only 78,000 miles on it. It's got less miles than all of my other trucks ironically. Fun fact, it was built in San Jose, CA and I currently store it indoors in San Jose, CA. The only negative thing about it is in CA it has to be smogged which it still passes each year.

@@manueltovar4821, you are of course welcome to your opinion but I'm pretty sure we were talking about trucks as a whole. Not just asthetic value. If we are going for looks alone, the '53 - 56 Ford F-100 was in my humble opinion by far the best looking pick-up of the last 80 years.

351M parts are still available if not the are other Ford motor parts that will fit and some Chery parts also. Better off pulling the whole front end as there are only 11 bolts plus all fenders and rad support is out of your way

Believe it or not Ford made excellent vehicles back in the day. My '65 got me through high school with little to no maintenance which was a good thing because I had no money. From a practical viewpoint we have been going backwards ever since.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

I'm not a huge Ford fan, but I do like an old school Ford Truck! Also, the the late 60's to early 90's Mustangs. And a few others on the foxbody platform. Honestly I'm not a brand loyal stooge. If it's a GM, Ford, Dodge, etc. truck built in the USA between 1933 and 1998, I probably like it. 😂 Some more than others, but there were only a few bad years for each brand in that wide time period. And I feel the same way about muscle cars. Chevelles, Cuda's, Mustangs, AMC's. I just don't care. They all brought a different flavor to a delicious stew from a time before I was even born.
