NASCAR Ford F100 Truck LOUD & FAST!

When you hear this garage built NASCAR inspired Ford F100 you'll probably agree this sounds a lot like our friend Dave's legendary Shelby GT350. It's LOUD but a glorious loud out of that small block 302 and Craig (The Craig 909) built this entire truck at home with his dad which gave birth to his KZbin channel so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Stoked to be apart of it guys! Thanks for giving me an excuse to beat on this thing again! Excited for what's to come!

[@SpectrumUncle]

Dude love your channel keep it up, would love to see the 67 again if you still have her

[@AutotopiaLA]

We had a blast with you Craig

[@steveo7767]

Ford…cuz GM gave up!

[@steveo7767]

This will make you forget about GM and remember FORD as the 1st AMERICAN car builder!

[@toastyteal5.0]

Way to go Craig!!

[@cymbalenthusiast3265]

I'm so glad people are giving Craig the recognition he deserves.

[@Thecraig909]

I appreciate you man thanks !

[@cymbalenthusiast3265]

​@Thecraig909, you're welcome, man. Keep up the amazing work.

Serriously bro! Dude deserves it!

[@Truck_person]

now start recognizing the accident he almost caused speeding down the road

You know your catching the right kind of attention when autotopia features one of your builds 🤙🏼

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks…he got our attention

[@harmankardon478]

Love it!!! I bet this one didn't cost 250,000 to build and its cooler.

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

I’ve noticed a trend here…….small block Ford owners down your way love seriously high rpm! Such glorious noise!

[@Elbeerad]

its a ford thing, look at coyote guys! high reving v8s ftw!

[@KingJT80]

Short stroke makes RPM for us 302 guys 😊

[@ryanbowen7831]

The Voodoo does 8250 RPM in my 2016 GT350. Its incredibly addicting to rev a naturally aspirated V8 to insane RPM's

[@StringerNews1]

To be fair, for any displacement engine, the way to horsepower is through RPM. And please, don't say "small block" and "Ford" in the same sentence! That was Chevy, not Ford. During the heyday of American V-8 dominance, Ford had four or five different blocks in production at once. There was Windsor, Cleveland (335), Lima (385), FE and MEL. While the Lima replaced the MEL and FE, the FT variant of the FE was produced until 1978. In 1969 they all were available from Ford. And that's only the passenger car ones; there's a couple more that were exclusive to larger trucks and boats. There were four basic sizes from the Windsor to the commercial truck block, with the Cleveland and FE/FT being midsize, and the 385 comparable to a Chevy big block. Even later motors like the Romeo modular, Cologne and Essex V-6s were named after the cities where they were made, not "small" and "big".

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

@@StringerNews1 I am aware of all the Ford variants . I’ve never heard the term of using small block with only Chev engines. I worked at a machine shop back in the early eighties and small block was a term we used with small MOPARs, Ford and Chevs. This is the first time I’ve encountered someone being bothered by this use of the terminology. To each their own I guess.

[@demonata3598]

I immediately knew this was the one and only Thecraig! Love this mean FORD!!!

[@EZoMack1]

the moment i saw the preview already knew there can only be 1!

Definitely has soul

I’m so happy you featured a guy like Craig! I’ve been following him for about 4ish years now and I just really enjoy how he speaks so mechanically without getting too complicated. He’s all about function and it’s fun to watch!

[@cleverdodo5573]

Now that's a truck, clean, simple and fun.

[@Fernando_chavira__]

I recently sold my classic cars to start my own business.. This truck, the sound, the patina, the fact, the fact that he with his dad at home... all that is the reason why I got into these old cars and trucks! Can't wait until business is stable enough to build something again! Props Craig!

@@AutotopiaLA you and the team rock, Shawn. Thank you!

[@adamdeshon1275]

I love everything about this truck and Craig's build. I was just going to skip forward to watch the drive, but glad I watched the whole video. My Dad gave me the "Chrome Yellow" '72 F100 with a 302 that I built when I was about 15 with about $500 and some parts he had laying around the shop. Good memories and this just brought them back. Glad I discovered this channel and another awesome video!

[@PatRMG]

I've watched several videos of this truck. Awesome to see a condensed, no fluff video of it here.

[@scottythebody0811]

Yes! I’m glad to see him on here! I love the way he drives that thing. As Vice Grip would say, he gives it the onions!

[@RussellBrosGarage]

DUDE! The Craig!! I love this damn truck!

[@nicks70roadrunner]

Not sure how you’re finding all these young engineers that have a passion for old school hot ridding. Well done again Sean!!!!

[@_OUTLAWPERFORMANCE]

So stoked for this episode ever since I saw Craig's truck I instantly thought it should be show cased on this so excited it's actually happenig

[@AutotopiaLA]

He’s perfect for what we do

[@robertdurfee3537]

The pinnacle of SBF exhaust tone. From idle to street pulls thing looks and sounds amazing.

Sounds like a proper NASCAR!! High Revving Small Block. You got to Love this thing. Good Job @Thecraig909. Very Cool.

[@217saleen]

Been following Craig for awhile now, and this truck is just awesome! Not a crazy show vehicle but one you can drive the hell out of and not worry about a scratch/door ding. He has a ton of talent no doubt. Second I saw the video picture like all the other comments I knew the truck right away!

[@reginaldcofield3756]

Craig showed out

[@abedanielspictures]

Epic vehicle! The ragged edge of mechanical function! This is what hot roding is all about. Thanks Shawn!

There have been so many awesome cars and trucks on this channel, Craig's bumpside is hands down my favorite of all of them. I love that he drives it hard. His channel is worth following.

[@ChrisPBacon9]

That thing boogies 👌 i love builds that are about the experience, not just "lemme try to make this as fast and powerful as possible for my hypothetical 1/4 mile time"

[@gnarlytothemax]

Started off "not a car guy" look at him now. Incredible build - very thoughtful and he did all the work himself. Hats off !!

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

I really believe this truck is the best sounding truck in the state of California. What a ripper!

[@Truck_person]

ahaha it sounds like garbage its a ford not a beamer

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

@@Truck_person damn you might be the only person to say it sounds like garbage 😂 And BMW’s in general sound like trash so I get the comparisons. The truck sounds just like old track trucks/cars of the 80’s. High revving and loud. Might sound different in person but on video I think it sounds great. Black widow mufflers have a high db rating so it’s likely loud Af in person.

[@Truck_person]

@@Fahrenheit_Motorsportsthe pipes on the truck when craig took it to school sounded way better

Glad this finally happened

[@jasonsutterfield1638]

I love this Truck, what a great sound!

[@danakraushaar3606]

I’ve had quite a few of the 67-72 F100’s and they rock. Quite light and loads of parts available. Never felt a need to put a crown Vic front suspension on. The I beam system works great and was around for 55 years. Progressive coils make them work so smooth

Hi from Australia. All I can say is “God Bless America”. That Ute is mad😎👍

His ute is sick. Being from New Zealand I could only dream having a ute like that down here. But we both know it wouldn't last long with NZ/Aussie police around they would have a field day.

It's still a truck chassis, though we did get an actual Coupe Utility here, the Ford Ranchero!

Talk about a flashback video. My first vehicle was a 69 F100 farm truck that I bought from my grandfather (original owner). Truck was a 390/C6 combo. Wish that I had never sold that one. 😢 Mad props to this young man & great vid, Shawn! 👍

Everything about this truck is just effin nasty super rad.

[@MikeKraft1975]

It really is one of the coolest trucks on KZbin. In a world of very entertaining but mostly unobtainable vehicles for most people, this is something a lot of regular people can achieve on their own at home. I always fall back on what a good friends dad always told me. He had 8 second drag cars. Full race cars. He always said he had more fun with his 12 and 11 second toys that the real race cars.
