you've literally done what I want to do in the future. Turn a vintage vehicle into something that has so much power, looks......GORGEOUS, has amazing handling and comfort while driving (with this truck, you can just tell that its amazing in those ways), and has modern technology integrated into it the vehicle (wifi hotspot, touchscreen nav, etc).

My background is vintage home restoration. When I go to a car show, I am amazed at how often I ask "why is that there?". When it comes to Icon, I never have a single question, only a hope, that someday I might get one. Jonathan does such a good job professionally explaining his craft.

Wow...! I am a patina' lover myself....but you have some "Next Level" stuff going on with this truck! I know there is a fine line mixing old with new technology, but you have an eye for what works! I don't think most people understand the amount of hours of work that you have MODESTLY explained in this video. Just in the dash alone....WOW! You Sir, are a definite asset to the automotive industry!! Your Desoto Wagon is more my style....but I'm sure you have no problems finding customers for what any vehicle you offer! Great Work!!!

This is one of the best trucks I have ever seen. What makes this truck above other customs is that all the custom work doesnt look custom. This is really really hard to do. Especially with the interior work and especially with the era. Incredible,awesome, what a rig!

These are incredible functional pieces of art, you're an incredible craftsman Mr. Ward. Thanks so much for sharing these vids. I have a 1953 deluxe cab 3100 myself, it was my first vehicle. My dad and I worked it over back in 1990, it isn't stock and looks like crap now but I plan on rebuilding it and modernizing it some day.

I had a '53 Chevy 3/4 ton (3600) 5 window that I got for a day's labor back in 1974. It was completely vandalized but I was lucky enough to have access to a pal's shop to rebuild the engine. I never put anything into the esthetics, it looked like a crappy old truck all the time I owned it. I sold it and the engine blew up about 1000 miles later, guess my rebuild wasn't the greatest. It's fantastic what you do to these old cars/trucks but you have to have $150K-$200K and maybe more in parts & labor in them by the time you're done. It's hard for me to understand the economics, but they are really works of art.

You should open a shop in Australia in order to ride the wave of automotive nostalgia going through the country now that the last major Australian car manufacturer has announced that they are shutting down in a few years. Offer classic FJs and a Holden or two and the entire country would cream it's self. Couple that with the overload of skilled workers who would willing to jump on board and the fact that Australia is far more suited to high quality low volume manufacturing for a local market in its current economic state and BOOM, you've got yourself another winning business. If you need a CEO, I'll be standing by.

Hi Jonathan, I really enjoy your videos. Information I'm always wishing you'd include: How long each build takes and how much each vehicle costs. On this video I think you mentioned 10 months, so thanks for that. I get the impression these cars are in the $100k-$200k range. That wi-fi hotspot on this truck is fascinating, I gotta find out more info about that. On a separate note, regarding the derelicts: I'm assuming you must remove any rust off the chrome parts. There is a fabulous rust-demolishing product I want to bring to your attention if you're not aware of it: It's called Chromax. It's a delicious-smelling (wintergreen mint?) paste with abrasive crystals that are constantly breaking down into finer and finer bits. You barely have to exert any effort and the rust comes right off. It works on chrome, stainless, and several other metals... [Edit: Autonet Mobile!]

@ratpinscher9 жыл бұрын
Nice work on the build, I just wish it was a more unique model. The styling on these trucks is cool, the problem is it's such a common model that seeing them is nothing special and even a build of this high of caliber feels watered down compared to something a bit less common. It's like the classic mustang or camaro scene. I would probably like those too if there was not a zillion of them at every classic car gathering. Just my opinion.
@fender13259 жыл бұрын
I love ICON's stuff but I had to laugh. "Heres how we go from this (beat up old truck), to THIS! (new bad ass truck). First we take the frame, throw that away and buy a new one. Then we take the body, throw that away and buy a new one." Great job as always though. I HATE touch screens that you have to go through pages to just alter the damn climate control. Use some freakin knobs!!!! Just my opinion
@Kihidokid5 жыл бұрын
Well no... usually he uses the full body for derelicts but for these reformers he buys the original truck and uses it as a reference obviously

Question, you started the video saying how you take a crispy 50's GMC pickup and take it to the final truck shown. The cab is a licensed reproduction, the bed looked too toasted to actually use in the final product. The badging, handles used were new. Ditto the frame, engine, transmission. How much, if any, of the original truck shown in the begining was actually used?

I have no idea why they bought the original truck because everything about the truck is after market which never fits. At least the original parts fit.
