K8tlyn singing “Almost home” you’re raising great kids. I really like Mercy Me also!

[@turbogrin]

Looking forward to this build! Oh by the way when you reseal everything be sure to turn the engine UPSIDE DOWN when you replace the pan gasket for the best results!

[@tomclaes450]

Love the old Patina diesel trucks i have also a Chevy 54 Patina diesel truck greetings from Belgium europe 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Xthreadgarage]

Very cool! Did that ‘54 come from the US or were those sold in Europe?

[@5.3garage74]

I would look at that and immediately assume it's Blow by

[@5.3garage74]

Wow that's a lot of oil tell me the oil pan gasket the plug valve covers probably leak still those seven 3 run forever

[@Xthreadgarage]

😂 I did too! The engine seems tight though, runs good. We’ll see where the oil is coming from soon enough.

I really don't care about you not wearing a seat belt because I don't wear one either but your precious angel next to you in a sketchy truck is worrisome

[@saltynlit]

Can't wait for this build!

[@kevinherbert7564]

❤an other awesome video keep making them thanks for making them ❤❤❤❤

[@Xthreadgarage]

Glad you like them!

Hey I have a 1998 ford 5.0 with 3 speed with over drive it was running a few days ago but the fuel pump went out I plan on getting one on the 3 it's a Ford explorer, 5 new tires, new breaks no rust at all .Clear paper work 2200 after I put a pump in it . If you see are hear of anyone needing a good 5.0 and a 3 speed over drive

[@jasonclegg6125]

Great Video! Nice work both of y'all!

[@Xthreadgarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jasonjones5213]

Great video, Looks like it's going to be a good swap.

[@Xthreadgarage]

Hope so! All we need is the real estate to make it fit.

[@donnieslaughter764]

Awesome nice donor for the project

[@Xthreadgarage]

Glad you like it! Gotta ask, is it Donnie’s laughter, or Donnie Slaughter?

[@countrygentleman4084]

Might be better to find a 4bt Cummins

[@Xthreadgarage]

No doubt a Cummins swap would be easier, in fact the ‘47 Chevy that started Crossthread Garage is a Cummins build. But, we like a good challenge and learning something new, plus the 7.3 builds under vintage trucks haven’t been widely done.

[@Robrt32]

You said make offer on Chevy , 500 bucks cash money, deal? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🎉

[@johnnyfontana9058]

so what you going to do with the flat 8 engine

[@Xthreadgarage]

That’ll get built for a later project. Will make a really cool vintage hot rod build. Stay tuned!

[@williamtabor1298]

It's a Ford. You will always smell oil. LOL

[@Xthreadgarage]

You know that’s right. 😂

[@careysavage]

Yes you got that right

[@peterschepman5492]

Is it a 4x4 ?

[@Xthreadgarage]

No, if she’s ever off road or driving the ‘41 on salty Ohio roads, she won’t be driving long 😆.

[@CoelBridge]

Way to ruin a rare piece of history to save an engine that can't hold its fluids 😔

[@Xthreadgarage]

Thanks, but, to be fair the 41 engine was already replaced once and the flathead in it was locked up tighter than the men’s supplement shelves at a San Francisco RiteAide. More importantly, this way, a 15 year old kid is learning to be self-reliant in the garage and a love for old iron, which if we hadn’t brought it out of the weeds for this project would have rotted into the ground. So, we’ll have a ‘41 ford truck rolling down the road in a way that will be reliable and serviceable for another 40-50 years.
