Enjoy this in depth video walk around of our newest build! Our very first old school edition ICON Thriftmaster.

A HELLO from Western Pennsylvania! Yeah, my folks would have a St. Christopher pin attached to the sun visor.

[@enunez371630]

His description of all the little details that go into picking the colors and leather, trim, and knobs is exactly the level of car designer/builder that sets you apart from everyone else, You touch everything making it more usable, ergonomic but respectful to it original design.

[@frankbohm7880]

In my humble opinion this truck is the most sophisticated 3 window ever.

[@paul1x1]

Its just unbelievable every time I watch one of these videos I want whatever he's showing me this time but this truck is right off the hook

[@leatherwoodjay]

So is the price.......and a lot of that is taxes in California on everything from his building overhead to fees out the wazoo and payroll for employees who have to make enough to survive in one of the most expensive and repressive states in the country. NONE of that is this guys fault but I can't help but think he could save huge on the cost of building these in Texas making them more affordable and him making just as much profit. California does not deserve quality artisan guys like this anymore.

[@steverichens4242]

I would never get one of these because he didn’t say that it will check your heart rate...!😕

[@harryballzack]

We have that “When I win the lottery I’ll be ordering 1 of everything” kinda drooling. LOL

[@RavRigs]

These builds are nothing short of moving pieces of art. The amount of detail, craftsmanship, and thought that goes into each one is nothing short of amazing. Congratulations in every way possible.

[@rustedcage6178]

The St Christopher medallion. Just the ultimate touch. So cool.

[@judgetk8327]

Wow, where do I start? I love the dash and steering wheel. The framework and driveline are absolutely beautiful and to be honest, there isn't one thing I would want to change. I don't know what this baby is going for but I betcha it's worth every penny. First-class work Mr. Ward.

[@kevinchilders1052]

We're caring for this beauty for Tony and I even had the pleasure to drive it. As great as this video is, it cannot truly convey just how amazing this truck is. The color inside and out is spot on, plenty of power delivered smoothly, and handles better than a good number of the sports cars I've driven. Jonathan knocked it out of the park on this thing!!

[@leftsmile5096]

I hate yoooouuuu !!!!

[@Blitz0065]

Beautiful truck. Absolutely love all the hidden details. I'm sure you've discovered by now, Baer makes a master cylinder called REMASTER. Problem solved!

[@richardmahoney9415]

Love how he says he doesn’t want to bore us lol I could watch this stuff all day and geek out on what they do

[@shanehnorman]

Never ceases to amaze and gratify me that something that's essentially just a toy could be designed and built - sorry, crafted - to last for generations.

[@georgiafan6618]

Where to begin…the truck is extraordinary. Especially love the backlit gauges that have digital functions - brilliant. Jonathan is a good host who explains the minutiae with controlled speech that helps viewer to absorb the details. Love the color and the 6.2L - I’d get one with 6spd manual. Amazing vehicle 🇺🇸👍

[@ydnallah1541]

This is my favourite vehicle icon has produced, it’s perfect in my eyes. The leather on the interior is going to mature and add even more character.

[@karendearlove8055]

I'm smitten...again! My grandpa had this very truck and the color had developed an oily blue-purple patina. Ohhhh...to have one in 'double cream': ivory points on cream body with caramel leather. Nothing like retro charm.

[@bandguy360]

Usually im at peace with the fact that ill never be rich in life.... but when i watch these videos i start thinking of how I need to become wealthy now!

[@njminer]

I'm at the place where I have to decide whether I should buy that vacation house for the family or get one of these. It doesn't really matter how much you make since there'll always be reasons to make more. Just be at peace with yourself and ogle the toys Jay Leno can buy : )

[@andyrivers9423]

@@njminer you can build your own, sure the paint isnt nice but who cares

[@billy1673]

I shit you not, that is my thoughts verbatim every single time I watch these videos!!!🤣🤣🤣 I’m guessing these trucks are well over $150k.

[@mikevaughn866]

[@jackj5368]

A gorgeous truck; quite possibly my most favorite of all your exceptional truck builds, Jonathan. :)

[@brianleasure1788]

I do not think you can go into “too much” detail. I love your vids and could easily watch a couple more minutes on every build.

[@BakerStudiosIndy]

Jonathan Ward is my spirit animal. 😁 No stone left unturned, no corners cut. Everything simply done to perfection.

[@Fheral360]

Man... words cannot describe how HAPPY I am that you took the time to do a video like this and geek the hell out of this truck. I really love the build, as always it is exquisite. Love the color and the interior. Well done sir, you never fail to deliver, hope to see more videos like this in the future

[@bryantwhitis1268]

Honestly, out of all the icon project trucks this one the two tone paint, that awesome green yes one of the military colors coming from a military family also the hidden of the sound system that's a clever idea. I can imagine the time that goes in building one of these treasures classic trucks..😇

[@jeremykeele6272]

JUST AWESOME! You're a super star with these builds!!!

[@michaelpetty2016]

"Pretty damn good" is an understatement. I love this variation with all the bells and whistles sans the flash. Pure understated class.

[@waynesmith7487]

How can you down thumb anything this beautiful? Haters gonna hate. I, on the other hand, Love the presentation! Along with the concept, details, improvement, engineering and dedication! Bravo! Thank you!!!

[@ronsre-creations5289]

Boy Mr. Ward, The rendition of the ThriftMaster is nice. But, the actual ThriftMaster you Re-Created is absolutely hands down "Drop Dead Gorgeous" John, I like to think I'm as "Geeky" as you are when I build a vehicle. But, every time I watch your completed builds you blow me away. You are a "Master of the Geeky Details" Which is what makes you ICON's stand out and I mead REALLY stand out! I'm building a 1984 Dodge Ram W350 Long bed Crew Cab Cummins Turbo Diesel conversion and have been taking notes for sometime to incorporate some of "Your Geek" in my project. Always enjoy your shakedown runs and detailed explanations. Thank you for sharing another "Masterpiece" Hope your head doesn't explode from the drooling dribble compliments. 1000 Thumbs Ups !!! Thanks, Ron

[@guns2317]

Beyond gorgeous work as ever sir. Bravo! Love these videos and love the practically maniacal attention to detail you guys pursue with every build.

[@adamroberts2063]

Jonathan is my spirit animal. I love everything about this build.

[@dnovello]

Another work of Art, Jonathan. Love that you shared your leather craft, too!

[@hostarepairman]

Beautiful pickup! ICON green paint is fabulous! Want my future Tesla to have this exterior color.

[@markbass7145]

As soon as I win the lottery I'm getting one of these

[@alankuentz4617]

Definitely! I like the old 4 door dodge pickup with the Modern chassis and diesel engine.

[@hawaiianstylen]

Good luck with that, some of his projects he says takes him years.

[@samsonian]

Peter Lau yeah, the super custom ones...if you are willing to take one of the more production-oriented builds they don’t have as long of a wait. Also, sometimes people decide to resell them if you keep your eyes open for that.

[@billp5424]

As the owner of a poor boy ‘53 3100 five window I marvel at the level of detail and finishes.

[@myfj40]

Love the attention to design details. - Very nice, great color combinations.

[@Docstantinople]

These are the types of details I want to see in all your videos. From now on, this is how you make videos.

[@rustynail2205]

I have been waiting a while for this one. I think I say that about every project video posted. Edit while watching; I don’t think I have seen Jonathan this excited for some time.

[@mikemorris4952]

just stunningly beuatiful and magical, thanks Jonathan.

[@storyteller1749]

You sir are a design genius! Great looking truck and another epic ICON build.

[@rslrandyman]

Continue on your fine work. I have been following you for years and you always impress on your skills and imagination. Geek on

[@patbullard9276]

I once owned a first series 1955 which was the same body style with the 1954 grille. Loved that truck but at the time I had no place to keep it so I sold it. Have regretted it since. I love the body style and your re-creation is wonderful. If I only still had mine and could send it to you for your magic, would be great.

[@markreynolds3850]

This is beautiful truck , luv the color,, I especially like the straight six motor . Those wheels are awesome looking.

[@Supercruze]

Great looking tribute truck Jonathan. Your design work and attention to detail is always impressive.

[@loyalram4363]

Works of art. Thank you for doing beautiful things

[@aruniochoa5944]

Wow! Amazing attention to detail as always. Add-on suggestions: Carbon fiber replacement for the hood, fenders, etc. , heated seats, and steering wheel options, heads up display module, central TPMS, leveling headlights option, rear window glass defrost, power seats, onboard wifi, coffee cup holder with built-in heating, adjustable height air suspension, wireless charging, a hidden dashcam. That's all I can think of right now.

[@karlkascha1261]

You and your crew are true artisans, jonathan. I enjoy all of your builds, but this is my second favorite icon, next to the Rolls. Of course, the Rolls wasn't a complete rebuild/restore better than new, it was a survivor derelict rebuild/restore.

[@gtuttle4]

This is one of my favorite Chevy pickup build!

[@tonyhurtado5747]

I love this brother going white just like me . The wire white hair means you are becoming smarter

[@ElQuesoGuapo]

I just saw one of these at Petrol Lounge. I was blown away by the build quality. I've seen some "made for TV" builds, and they look like junk when you see them up close. This is not one of those. The attention to detail shows everywhere.

Hehe, actually you saw this exact car. Tony is our client and friend.

Love the truck (like all the other Icon stuff), but especially liked the leather seating and headliner (well, roof ceiling cover). Jonathon, you make me regret more and more not becoming a millionaire. :-) Keep up the stellar work.

[@Jawad_Muhammad]

Jonathan. Good evening. Thank you again for a wonderful work of automotive art. I pray your costumer loves the final project as much as we do. It’s awesome to see how far your leather works have evolved. Oh one last observation. I really love the sneakers 👟 what can you tell us about them? Jonathan be blessed safe and keep up the good work.

Not going to lie.... I would absolutely LOVE to have you rebuild my '82 El Camino, would be amazing to see what you guys could do for that, get rid of all of the plastic and give it a very old school look

Yes, I like the fact the audio system is concealed to behind the seat every thing on this truck is in line what I would have done it I was to custom built it.😇

[@TonySiress]

it was such a fun process to create this amazing vehicle I get to call my own.

[@scootosan]

Absolute perfection not one thing would I want changed. Your attention to "geek" detail is unreal. The Tonka green and creamy white color location choice and not painting the fenders and running boards looks factory. The interior is exactly what I would expect. Old School is choice.
