Holy Grail Bumpside! REAL Crew Cab Highboy!

[@JP-vs1ys]

Matt, I really love that you respect these trucks enough to return them to how they were...getting rid of the restomod stuff is awesome. keep up the fantastic work. Are you going to keep it or sell it on? I vote for keeping this one.

[@ronfrance4041]

I grew up on and love my Chevy trucks. Respectfully, I can’t say I’ve ever been into fords although I have a great appreciation for all the REAL STEEL vehicles of days gone by. I’m now a Chevy guy who enjoys watching you and backyardalaskan with your fords as you have so much appreciation, knowledge, and respect for these trucks. Keep up the good work.

I had a chance to buy one of these in 1981 for 800 dollars. It was a stock 1969 crew cab f250 4x4 highboy with a winch. White in color. It was a good running daily driver. Certainly not a desired vehicle at that time and place but I wanted it. I was 17 years old at the time and my Mom wouldn't let me buy it. I was pissed off then, and I'm still pissed about it 42 years later. It's one of those regrets that's never gone away.

I'm glad I found this channel. I have a 73 F250 High Boy step side with a 300 six, best motor Ford ever built (yeah I'm a six cylinder nut) that I rebuilt 30 years ago when I bought it and it is still going strong. Many trucks have come and gone over the years but the Ford is a keeper. My latest upgrade is a Steerman electric power steering conversion. I look forward to watching more episodes on your latest build.

Sweet ride to bring to the channel . look forward to watching it progress to completion.

[@gregpeacock1794]

really looking forward to seeing this one brought back to life. personally I wouldn't change the suspension other than the 14 bolt but hey I get it... congrats

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

That thing is *AWESOME* Matt!! 😃 I'm glad you could make a deal and bring it home. Can't wait to see you tear into this truck later on. Take care my friend 🔧🔩

[@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL]

What a find! Even in the condition it is in.

[@fredlarsen2328]

You do great work and thank you for for sharing information. I have 5 bump sides to restore, 2 are highboys

[@MattKubik1791]

That is awesome! Thanks for. Watching.

[@TheWhyteRhyno77]

Looking forward to this build. Nice find.

[@coltenschocke891]

Can’t wait for you to knock all these builds out

[@nakiahearlson763]

I'm glad you're going back to stock configuration will look way better that way.

[@1934rod]

Nice find Matt, I can only imagine how sweet it will be when finished.

[@lawrencetrapani5623]

Good Score Matt! Happy for you for Sure!! That's gonna be one that may prove difficult to Sell! A Keeper Perhaps?? Keep safe and Keepbupbyour good integrity and Nature! Thanks

[@lindseyjarrell1096]

Dang it. This popped up in my feed and I thought it was a new surprise video on another crew! 😂

[@John3_16Q]

I love the stock plan of attack

[@nicolasstanley1392]

That’s so funny to find that pass through on that amazing highboy cab. I know I’ve mentioned my flatbed project to you before which Started life as a pass through Kamper cab and has that identical welded in patch.

[@ralphboyce3542]

Appreciate you keeping it real and honest 😊

[@broncobros2022]

I have a 70 highboy that my grandfather bought new. I’ve been wanting to restore it for years but the rust seams too overwhelming. I never new buying parts and building a bed was an option. Can you elaborate on where and how you get a new bed?

[@MrJeep75]

Awesome truck

[@jacobdawson3006]

awesome find that’s gonna be a beautiful truck

[@z31freakify]

I can't wait once you start this build🔥🔥🔥

[@diyjeff1838]

Great truck. Benchworks steering. I got it and love it!!!

[@stacenhartland9777]

Nice grab! Congrats!

[@wbreese9903]

I'd vote for keeping the 78-79 power steering....makes them a lot nicer to drive. I did it in a '71 highboy I used to have.

[@Allen.Hickers_]

I can only dream of a crewcab here in South Africa, dont think crewcabs was ever imported to this part of the world

[@justinhenry2249]

Good call, I won’t have any GM parts on my property either. Great find Matt, can’t wait see back in its original form.

[@coryjones9573]

Awesome truck I'd do the same as you with that truck.

[@loganhall8341]

Need a video explaining vin numbers and body swaps here soon

[@MattKubik1791]

Hoping too soon! Waiting for a good day to film outside

[@MrJeep75]

Can't believe someone screwd that truck up

[@chuckb9867]

I have never seen good aftermarket sheet metal to make the bed out of where would you get yours the stuff Icees from China and is junk compared to the original weight long live highboys

[@broncobros2022]

I was hoping he’d answer this question too. I have a 70 highboy that my grandfather bought new. I’ve been wanting to restore it for years but the rust seams too overwhelming. I never new buying parts and building a bed was an option.

[@chuckb9867]

@@broncobros2022 if possible check the strength of the steel before you buy it it may be way cheaper and flimsy I would put fluid film on your truck now even if you're going to restore it later just to stop the rust I love that stuff in other words don't let it get worse

[@grosseileracingteam]

Hey Matt. Is that a 4 speed or automagic?

[@MattKubik1791]

It had a 5 speed zf5 in it now. Was originally a 4 speed np435.

[@fintenhaney]

Good chanel Matt i have a 1977 Ford f250 4×4 original bany blue that's real straight in eastern Oregon for sale if you're interested thanks.

[@MattKubik1791]

Hey thanks for the offer! But I’m trying to not buy any trucks right now and finish the ones I have. I’m actually thinking about selling some off that I don’t have plans for. But again. Thanks for the offer!

[@jasontyrrell694]

Total blasphemy to put a GM 14 bolt in a Ford 😱😱😱
