This '73 Ford F-100 is a Street-Legal Luxury Prerunner

Offroad racing in the desert isn't the most comfortable thing in the world. Heat, dust, sand, rocks, heavy terrain... you get the idea. Even prerunning can be a chore. But not in this here '73 Ford F-100: this thing was build to take on that terrain in absolute luxury and comfort. It's street legal, AND it has A/C. Yep, that means you can take this thing through hundreds of miles of heavy terrain, then bring right to your nearest In & Out. Legally.

[@MaestorShake]

And he appreciates it all so much

[@christopherj3367]

That engine sounds great, and i love the look of the old ford trucks

[@arkhsm]

I was thinking it sounded flatulent...now I know why; because they put a shitty chevy in it;... so that's me gone !!

I cant believe how much this truck fits being a pre runner. Like it just looks like thats what its always been and meant for!!

guy is a boss, tells the whole nation he drinks ''water'' while racing lol

[@antoniorios3856]

if ur gonna drink and drive this sure is the way to do it

This dude must have been a foot taller before that jump.

[@jeffmayo6002]

my spine hurts just watching it

[@Photobombin]

I love Larry "I can't believe you can drive this in the streets" meanwhile in South Fort Worth all I see is prerunner builds coming in and out of their ranches. I just met a guy around the corner from me who use to build for some race teams and now he's doing some crazy builds like this for the streets. So cool to see the offroad enthusiast building for the streets.

[@ericpettyfishing]

I see them around too. Usually in Mansfield/Waxahachie area. Makes me want coilovers for my truck lol

[@matthewbakker8113]

Yeah, I actually kind of confused. Its totally street legal in California, and I see trucks in the same vain (not as nice) around here (inland SoCal) everyday.

[@ArmyBoiSweat]

i see swamp buggies 24/7 living here in rural florida

[@WmArthur]

Nice! < You can see a little bit of my 1973 Ford F 100 short bed, 4X4. I've owned it for 35 years and did the work myself. Used to be an AZ truck I rodded and drove to work. Beefed and lifted, Lockright Locker in the back, beefed rear housing, Rancho shocks, NP 205 transfer case mod, power steering disc brake mod, coils and leaf mods, 4:11 gears, 1964 high nickel FE block, 390 bored to 411 cid now, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, Edelbrock Performer package carb, intake, cam, lifters, Headman Headers, Flowmaster Desert Racing Mufflers shotgunned out the side in front of the rear tires, custom interior and seats. I've run this truck hard! Broke the spindles off on 2 occasions from jumping it, mountain climbing, rock crawling, busted u-joints in half, snapped off the output shaft of the transfer case cuz I didn't have the front locked in, rock crawling on sandstone, something has to give, lol. It still runs so good! Kids in the neighborhood go crazy when they see me drive it, LOL. I come out of a store and people are walking around my truck, lol. People in WA are not used to seeing a desert pre-runner style truck. I did a lot of Alum diamond plate for fun, carry spares and tool boxes. I laugh at the new trucks, LOL. No scratches, enormous tires, never dirty, lol. I stripped this thing, rewired it, hid all the wiring, put an alum diamond plate firewall in it. Almost bullet proof now. My baby to the end! Wouldn't consider selling it for anything. Thanks for inspiring me to write an autobiography of my truck! LOL. I love my truck! can ya tell? I've met more guys who told me they used to have one and wish they still did, lol.

[@dpmedia7550]

William Tell lol!

[@joaquinpaul3912]

Man this guy became a legend after that Raptor jump😂😂. Never thought I'd meet the dude behind the wheel after so many years. Also, Larry is killing it

[@ryanbyrd5.0]

Hell yeah! Clean and functional. Let’s see it rip at the ranch

[@B1Springfield]

Very nice truck, lots of ideas, but I’m so glad that the new 7.3 has come out. That’s the only thing I would change about this build. The grill is a 76 grill.

[@firstimeshooter6590]

I really do dig your videos more. You actually let your guests talk and explain in detail about the vehicle. Vs the rest of the hoon guys. Owner of the truck: yeah it had 32” of trav... The guys: ITS GOT 32” OF TRAVEL!!! THATS A WRAAAAAAAP!!!!

[@groggysword33]

Very thankful you survived the drive! Great honesty toward Tribe 16 for building a one off truck👍 as far as the raptor destruction jump....I can only think that no matter where you first saw it we all said the exact same thing watching it for the first time.....

[@michealjackson8269]

The light bar is just 👌 this is the best looking body style

[@ItsZohn]

I’m not huge on trucks but honestly with all of the pre-runner coverage Larry has done recently I’ve fallen in love with them.

[@YaBoiJessy]

Nobody: Larry: 😃😀😃😀

[@headfirst6227]

Truck builds like this start long before the first dive into the parts catalogs. There’s a tremendous amount of effort put into affordability and planning. Probably obvious but it’s worth mentioning. Thousands of hours of work go into these projects and many skilled craftsmen are involved. What they’ve created here is probably the most fun in the universe. This is a good overview of this truck but I’d love to see a detailed tour including vendors and what was hand made.

[@droppedf100]

Truck is sick but bummed to see an ls under the hood. Also they didn’t make an extended cab ford until 75 I believe

[@JustALad]

It’s called a supercab. And I feel you man, I’m tired of seeing the mixed race trucks!

[@Daermos]

Wow with how high that condensor sits looks like hood wouldn't close. Always love the old f100 body style

[@m92quad55]

Love the old Ford extended cabs

[@LongRon6969]

Holy shit I used to work across the street from Tribe16 in Haltom City, TX. I remember when they brought this truck into their shop like 4 years ago and they were telling us all the plans for this truck. Its cool to see it finished

[@ericpettyfishing]

Damn man, this truck is literally perfect in my oppinion.

[@joesutinen7705]

[@djuell01]

Yes great video and yes to shooting more of his toys at his ranch.

[@thrillbillyjp1]

Actually just for the fact side of the game. We move the brake master cylinder boosters to the rear of the truck so we can buy space yes but main issue is how damn flammable steering and brake fluids actually are. So more flammables away from the headers the safer and more insurance the truck will last. But package wise yea win win. The brakes grabbing and the truck diving is from wheel travel and braking bias adjustability…

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

Hell yeah that looks super cool to see his Ranch

Yes. I want to see that.

Think Texas, open carry, he's known to be kinda nuts and the fact this guy dont mind broken windows for just a moment. Fairly sure when he does park it, he don't go to far. Also just think where this guy lives everyone knows him and his trucks. So would you risk it. I value my life more than that. JMO

[@chrishughes220]

@@DIGGER19860 Wow someone is the defensive type. Sorry to break it to ya but the vise grip thing had been mentioned many times before you had said it and it isn't an original thought by the way been hearing that same idea for over 4 decades now. Just so happened your comment was the place I decided to drop my opinion. Refer to my sign off on that. As for your little half passive aggressive little comment about me thinking I'm a badass and you assuming I'm from TX. . Well I was actually refering to the owner of the truck. He is crazy as shit and has proved his reputation through action.However, I'm from AZ. . Where we have concealed an open carry without permits. So who cares. BTW, I earned my right to my opinion long ago in a land that didn't give two shits about you' me or our laws. Have a good night and don't take it so personal next time someone thinks out loud in your presence.
