ICON New School TR #9 Restored And Modified Chevy Thriftmaster 1954 Pick Up

Come along for a ride with me while I explain this wonderful pick up! It is a sports car hiding under vintage pick up truck sheet metal! Learn what makes an ICON an icon. icon4x4.com

[@DreamHachi]

That truck is done right. Not slammed n bagged, not overdone. Perfect

[@assaultlick2169]

They get cleaner and more refined each time. Really like the stitching update, bluetooth audio and hidden HVAC venting.

[@Grenyas]

Every new vehicle that gets showcased here ultimately ends up being my favorite. Stunning Chevy.

[@lolmysteries]

Me: "Beautiful Truck!" OCD: "That 'A' knob is off-center. That 'A' knob is off-center. That 'A' knob is off-center..."

[@RexCars1]

Love These Trucks.. ( hope to see more with Manuel Transmission's )

[@robschaffer2189]

This is perfect. I love everything about it - except the fact it isn't mine. Another beautiful ICON.

[@jakespeed63]

Color n chrome match made in heaven

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Once again ! You make it as good as ever !! Great workmanship!

[@isabellanakahara]

I'm a nearly ancient female Icon fan. I binge watch these videos. I LOVE what you do.

[@markb7476]

Another awesome truck, love this model, and chrome offsets this color so well too, great job again ICON

[@justmechanicthings]

I love hearing you nerd out in the intricacies of your builds! don't ever change 🔥🔥🤓🔥🔥

[@2bond007]

🙋‍♀️ladies watching! 100 series land cruiser owner with 322k miles here! Love your LCs, but now I'm a huge fan of your truck builds too, wicked!! That auto window retro knob is the best feature!🤩 I haven't see that on any other restomods!! Love it! When I win the lottery...😃

[@junkyardkustoms]

Thank goodness! I've been dying for you to do a '54. The coolest of the Advanced Design trucks hands down. Perfect job as always Jonathan.

[@poohbear4130]

Nothing sweeter then an older truck tricked out and painted blue! That colour absolutely rocks. Great job!!

[@kway745]

I would have loved to see a baseball glove leather interior instead, but, not my truck. Love the reverse lights in the bedrails, very cool use of that space

[@ericruiz2174]

Mine its a 54 too and we highly appreciate all the improvements that you are sharing. Many ideas to be implemented. Many blessings in all your proyects. Now you have a student in Puerto Rico, USA.

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

absolutely beauty. i was born in 1954. my 65th birthday is coming up. this would be a terrific gift! thanks for the effort and the sharing. BIG thumbs up.

[@danmay9728]

Looks good sir, very sweet. Be safe. Peace.

[@57northphoto32]

Love the colour, those wheels are the best. Wouldn’t be the same without the burnout 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mister006]

I concur on the chrome/stainless and brightwork ... it's FANTASTIC!

[@drewdinh]

Would you mind posting the before photos is the car as well? I would love to see the original condition that you get these in.

[@issacnewton9443]

So much nicer than any new truck. Much better layout and classy looks. Chevy should just sell improved versions of their trucks from the 50s-72.

[@POBulkhead]

Back in 1987, I bought a 1955 F-100 from my oldest brother. (He was a master auto mechanic) for $500. He installed a 1967 283 cu.in engine, two speed auto trans. Straight headers.Tested On Super Seven, Vermont, back in the day. At 100 MPH she would track with her straight front axil so well I could let go of the steering wheel for more than a mile. What a fun tough truck. Drove it to work for three years.

[@angusdenny4422]

Ahhhh so nice again lads ! Just love seeing and hearing about all the Icon creations. Cheers!

[@puppetguy64]

Not only do you build beautiful vehicles, you make great videos as well.

[@PaulDeatherage]

Love, love, love this build... everything from the colors to the subtle recreations, yet another masterpiece!

[@pl747]

That is so much nicer than ANY new pickup.

[@robertotto3220]

Love the build. Awesosme work Jonathan and crew.

[@arthursmith5409]

Flawless builds. Dream I dreamed as a young lad, to build icon's such as yourself. Wow times hundreds.

[@stephensherman4734]

One day when I grow up I will own a ICON... I’m 33...

[@kemkakemkani2608]

It's never too late you can do it

[@huissens]

The color reminds me of my Mom's 1972 Volkswagen Squareback, tastefully done in Neptune Blue.

[@TheAdamzboyz]

Nicely Done! Respect to the 3 Window!!!

[@dday9135]

Greetings Jonathan, It is a real pleasure being afforded the opportunity to witness the evolution of your company and Brands!Thanks for the burnout, Jerry

[@jamilam1980]

This is a hidden gem. The vibe is grown and awesome. Great job man. The audio is great too!

[@jeffpittman8725]

Absolutely incredible. The color is spot on!

[@bryantwhitis1268]

I will tell you this even though I wasn't there when the team built this awesome truck a lot of pride.and hard work went into customized this pickup truck I just pray to God the owner will take well care of it it will show the appreciation the owner has in Jo

[@kadimsilahtar]

Another unmatched work from Icon, kudos Mr. Ward, what a joy even to watch this timeless piece of art perfectly done and driving flawless.

[@billwilson6096]

Thanks Johnathan for showing us your amazing work of art.

[@Shamrockjason]

Jonathan, another classic sir well done.

[@bossdog1480]

That truck sir is a piece of art. You have a winning formula with the all new running gear with the old body attached. It makes perfect sense and the vehicle still looks close to original. They are definitely something to be proud of. It's something I would do IF I could.

[@2of2DCH]

The design, and implementation of it, is simply stunning!

[@callumtbjones]

Love the ac in the old speaker grille. Very clever. And the right height comfort.

[@dunadan57]

Love your work. I really hope you're still working your magic when/if I have the cash to get something built!

[@lkendrix7782]

Love that sound! SOLID!

[@bigdawgfan72]

Every ICON vehicle is a masterpiece! One day...

[@clooperman3745]

Another STUNNING build. These old trucks have style by the bucket load, unlike todays pickups, less is more!

[@JacksonGarage]

You are a real inspiration! I'm building a 1954 with my dad and I hope to add some delicious touches. Great work!

[@jeswanderyn]

'54... my favorite fifties Chevrolet pickup.

[@mid-niteryders5523]

Nice job as usual, great color ! Thanks for the ride.

[@leemccallum4981]

Another very nice ride...I did and old truck many years ago and put in an auto type headliner. It had 3 bows I think and went all the way to the top of the seat...

[@timmatheny-lo9ze]

Amazing truck! ICON truck is so sweet. If had the bucks,would not even consider any of the big three. For a driver not a hauler.

[@msw4988]

Oh that burn out and exhaust brings a grin :)

[@andresheredia]

The ''Nice and clean'' ICON Pick up. Amazing Job!

[@curtislucero1331]

.....I'm In-Love !!! Love @ 1st Sight....nobody does the work of ART better than U-Guyz !!!

[@WillisMcV]

The unnecessary burnout made the day :) Love these trucks! But getting them in Europe is so expensive..

[@chicagotom2006]

Another fabulous project Jonathon. I live in Cancun, Mexico and really enjoy your video's. As a long time hot rodder they give me a glimpse of the USA.

[@EdwardAlcala]

Wow it’s so quiet in there, awesome!

[@raimundough]

I love how you preserve the style of the interior.

[@duncanfrere2656]

If I ever win the lottery, first call will be to ICON.

[@arussianasset3948]

If only I could afford it. My 54 is bone stock but I'd love to do this to mine. Nice job Mr. Ward, beautiful rig.

[@AAsiri-pu1ss]

absolutely beautiful truck! Great build.

[@gregguenthner3059]

Fine job Mr. Ward.

[@robertlee9395]

Another fine build Jonathan. Great burnout too. Can we get another tour of the shop? It's been awhile. I'm sure there are some updates.

[@seanheys1219]

What a wonderful redo! You make me drool!!!!1

[@abelincoln95]

What a beautiful sleeper...

[@davelowell3008]

I'll take two, a blue one and a red one..........okay honey I'll get up in a minute, I was just having this awesome dream......

[@motorTranz]

Impressive, most impressive 👍

[@boonetesterman]

Beautiful build Jonathan! Love these videos

[@krazyj1957]

I had one in the 80's. All original up to the vacuum windshield wipers and six volt battery. The faster you drove the brighter the headlight were. We called it the green machine. I miss it.

[@harryballzack]

Create a playlist to let his videos play in background so his smooth voice can give ya carvana dreams about awesome icons and derelicts 😂

[@arussianasset3948]

Original retro starter was on the floor, just right of the gas pedal and was never on the dash. I own a bone stock 54 that was actually assembled at the old GM plant in LA. California. That being said, I'd still love a Thrift master by you in a derelict version with all the modern upgrades. Nice work.

[@wilsonwilson9074]

I have a original 1954 Chevrolet 3100 unmolested with the original push button starter on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

[@Visionery1]

Jonathan, I love your work!

[@andrewipp426]

You build such great vehicles I know they are a little pricey, but the build quality is incredible

[@samiam7]

These videos are such a pleasure to watch. When I win the lottery, I'll be coming to see you

[@jamesmoon6042]

Well sir another winner right there. Awesome truck

[@PreGameler]

If i had the money i would want a chevy el camino 1959 . Sleeper but a highway crusing work car . A perfect daily driver .

[@mikehanks1399]

The very definition of cool. You, I mean. And the truck, but that's a given. So many nice details but the window handle/switch is very nicely done.

[@petedavis8701]

Probably the best custom cars in the World!

[@LChem1]

I had a 1948, as i recall, Thriftmaster. Had a script on hood that said Thriftmaster. They had a smaller carb than stock. That was it. I also had a 1954 Bel Aire with factory Dual Exhaust. Very rare.

[@tahirusman5929]

You’re the Man!Most amazing work .Probably the best in the world!Class Act.Salute

[@maverick1685]

if that was mine to order, I'd want the same truck (chrome trim) except burgundy paint and cream color leather seating and floor treatment along with burgundy stitching. otherwise, that blue is real sweet too. Thanks for sharing Mr. Ward. Cheers.

[@Tmrfe0962]

Thank you sir...a pleasure I don’t seem to tire of.....especially the burnouts! (Pun intended)

[@sammolloy8129]

I like stock or “second day mods” but this is well done and shows respect for the truck.

[@patrickseals5746]

Love it! Dont like these old cars with new alloy wheels. The painted wheels always look great.

[@JedTaneo]

I like neat engine bay and under chassis. OCD satisfied!

[@TheVideopreneur]

Always a joy to watch and Nice Burn Out!

[@dantheman9395]

SPECTACULAR as always

[@harleyrobertson73]

I think there should be a TV show about you guys

[@notxarb21]

I don't know which I like better: the Thriftmasters, or the Derelicts! Oh, hell... they're both just too cool! If I ever hit the lottery…

[@bryantwhitis1268]

Still liking the green one you made with the leather headliner it's awesome. 😮

[@hostarepairman]

Yea, me too.

[@DanMosqueda]

I have noticed piping in not-that-old premium vehicles looking tattered. I’m thinking of Range Rover and Maserati. Nicely down truck and video!

[@robertspeer]

Ever thought of using rift sawn wood instead of board sawn lumber for the wooden beds? The straighter grain would look more premium, and it is more stable over time.

[@jahirlopez2520]

How beautiful your truck, of the best I have seen, I would like to have one of those congratulations. Greetings from Colombia

[@DerekWalker55]

That’s the best one so far. Love it 👍🏻

[@rickb9238]

Another beautiful Icon.👍👍

[@tmseh]

Geezer, that's so nice.

[@d777b]

very nice!!... clean - - got a 54 sitt'n in my Bro in law's garage in El Paso I want to do the same thing to it!! Also look'n for a 54ish 1-1 1/2 ton dually I can restore/ build into a welding rig

[@sidwalker6902]

Like everything but the seats. Nice build, and video.

[@wadewilson1973]

amazing build!

[@Jase-E]

Excellent ride.
