[@SouthernRaiIs1186]

8:35 the look just looks cool in the dark with the light under it

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet F100 for sure! We just recently shot some F100s for our channel. Man, if you ever find yourself on the east coast, specifically Georgia, let me know. I'd love to get some footage of your truck for our audience. So stoked to see a young guy carrying on the classic truck tradition.

[@snappybonesify]

I think your truck would look better if the rear tires were wider and you added dog bowl hub caps.

[@henrygibson1530]

Looking good so far so what did you do with the front end? Didn't see anything on it. 🤔

[@squirrelrocket_official]

I learned more about lowering a truck from this video than the last 20 I clicked on. Took all the mystery out of it and gave me a true understanding of this technique of c-notching, of which I had heard of but did not know what exactly it meant. Thanks for sharing.

[@chadkalina1257]

Nice looking truck cant wait to see the Galaxy on the road

[@1manshop335]

That new headliner is killer

[@JC-ok7qd]

How much of the coil did you cut off the front ?

[@sethlincicum1342]

Hell yea! This is awesome! Looks amazing, great video!

[@Ziggey32]

If only these trucks where so easily available here in Australia, life would be so much easier lol

[@kennethmartin3429]

Headliner looks sick man!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Slow down junior😂

[@Thecraig909]

My dads a good one 😂

[@sc00b3y]

Looks great!! Even after it settled it looks like there is a touch of the Cali lean to it. But still that's a scary project cutting out the frame and notching it like that. Good job!!

[@kjrsn1704]

Do you stick with the stock shocks in the rear? What are you do, I haven’t been able to find any rear lowering shocks at all.

[@luketeverino6085]

When your dad said slow down bc of the tow cost I feel that my dads the same way!

[@snoopu2601]

Oh thank you for sharing the video and your truck came out nice I think it's low enough where you can still use it as a truck. I built with help a 1972 GMC Suburban that took about 7 year's I drove it while I worked on it. The first thing that was done to it was new brake system, rebuilt the engine new cooling system. Then from there slowly working on the other stuff pretty much replaced everything on it. I gave it to my nephew he still owns it I told him he can not sell it he has to pass it on to one of his brother's or many of his cousin's if he can no longer to afford her. I spent way to much time building that suburban and done most of the work myself. I can see if I didn't have no time invested in the 1972 GMC Suburban 3 door. I had many other car's and truck's before and after that one but never put that much time and money into it more time than money finding new and used parts. I had a 1979 GMC SHORT BOX all I did with that truck was rebuilt the engine lowerd it and put chrome steelies wheels on it and drove that truck for 13 year's. I had to sell it because I had to many vehicles and I had to down size between me and my brother are front yard looked like a used car lot

[@Viktorrhansen]

Amazing bro well done on getting to the show!

[@dakotagriggs7534]

You need to put a nice heavy hitting cam in it and do a stereo system as well!!!

[@CravingClassics]

TRUCK LOOKS AWESOME! Looked like a great show!

[@mustangguy8622]

Awesome. Loved this video. Good information on how to lower these trucks on a budget.

[@1acostarat]

Hey bro nice truck, I got a question how did you lowered the front

[@omar_padilla]

Fresh!!! Best word to describe your truck my friend, respect how you gave props to your boys because they came through man . I enjoyed the videos thanks for so sharing with us my boy. Shit now I want to go work on my bull (my 95 f150).

[@germancorcesbohmer2307]

Niiiiiiice!!! How did you correct the camber after lowering it???

[@williamsanders468]

Will you also have bigger brakes for the back with that 409 axle?

[@sweettee3647]

I had to shorten one for my Monte Carlo. It never broke and was balance pretty good. No vibes. You will be fine with welding it.

[@benwinter2420]

Old F series Fords have been my favourite vehicles to drive & work on & their utility . . type of thing , fun trucks

[@makingsensewithsteve3620]

A few things on pinion angle. You started with a lwb which is a 2 piece driveshaft. You cut the truck down to a Swb which is a single drive shaft. You also lowered the truck. The proper way to establish pinion angle was to measure angle of the driveshaft prior to any mods and reestablish angles based on the new settings adjusting for differences. In other words you had -6 at both ends BUT you had a carrier bearing. You should have measured driveshaft angle for the both the front and back of the driveshaft. After your mods you want a driveshaft that stays less than 15°. Again this is driveshaft not yoke. So if you are -6° at the transmission you want nothing more than -9° at the pinion. The lower the angle the better. With your -6° and -7° you are at 13°. Almost max for u-joint range. Had you set pinion at 0° you would have a total of -6°. Less than half of u-joint range.

[@carsonmathes6805]

I’m getting a 1973 Chevy Cheyenne c30 (454 big block) crew cab. My friends dad parked it alittle over 10yrs ago. Any suggested parts websites for lights and such?

[@parkerjanelle7853]

IMO Your F-100 is way cooler than either one at the show.

[@MustangGuy6501]

Agreed

[@motecalevol]

Hot rodding in the driveway. I love it.

What engine you running, also what are the radiator specs. I am rebuilding a 67 F100, it has a 352FE

Truck looks great Craig! A bunch of my sons friends will be starting SDSU next fall- I hope your coolness rubs off on them!

[@sandvillage8758]

Bro, these are the best vids man. Great channel!

[@gabeguedea2499]

What are you super informative video was planning on doing the same thing but to see you do it first helps so much… I have a quick question how did you adjust your negative camber when you lowered your front and on the i-beams? Also how many coils did you cut?

[@gabeguedea2499]

What a super informative*

[@gabeguedea2499]

Not sure how I missed your explanation in part 1 but but helped again as always!

[@richjohnson8700]

I like it! Can't believe you got that much drop in the back just from and axle flip. Great job

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Welcome to the lowlife my guy!!!!! Mine is done the same way but I'm static on frame, waiting for 6500 bagg's and a tank 😃😃 she looks good now dude, needs some saleen wheel now with some offset, or a nice set of draglights

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

Here in NC we have something called Carolina squat kinda like what you were calling Callie lift.

[@TheThirdWheel618]

Carolina Squat right on !!!!!

[@blueovalkid86]

Dude the truck is looking great man!!! Keep up the good work!

[@manuelrojas992]

Did that rear end leak any when you notched those areas out for the gears to fit. Love your truck.

[@matthewsmith-ng9ds]

I heard some Hank Jr. On the radio!

[@JosephSamsor]

Can I get a rough estimate of how much a truck like yours would cost? Not including modifications. Just body/engine.

[@gofastjuice4215]

DisguisedMeat 6 maybe if it was brand new. I’ve seen some for 2k

[@Thecraig909]

I paid 3800 for mine when it ran but barely. And everything needed to be gone through. A typical short bed should range from 4K-10k+ depending on the condition.

[@Thecraig909]

They’re just hard to find for cheap

[@JosephSamsor]

Thecraig909 yeah I’ve been considering one from watching your vids and I think I’d get one in a similar if not worse condition. Thanks for the info.

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

You guys are gonna hate me , I paid 950 for my 70 and another 150 or so to get it road worthy.

[@SpyroRoar]

Making me want to start driving my 72 c20 way more often now, Nice job, looks good even though its a ford lol

[@chrishigdon1070]

doing a 1980 f-100 was my dads has 79000 miles 302 which was crap, so 69 mach 351 windsor and stroked it to 406 cubic 435 h.p. has factory 9 inch want to lower it, it has I beams also any good Idea"s kip

[@huntsman5226]

Seeing you working on your makes me do more work on my 71 f100 mine I got crown vic seats going in it

[@rajvir03]

I found a 1968 Ford f250 with a dump bed its clean title and automatic do you think its worth getting if I can get it for a thousand dollars long as theres no rust or mechanical and suspension issues

[@williamsanders468]

AND NOW STROKE THAT 302 AND FUEL INJECTION SWAP IT

[@douglasdailey5998]

Speedometer is going to be off because of the different gears, but you can change the gear in the transmission to compensate for that.

[@brentvonaschen7064]

What did you do to fix camber?

[@allanperry6507]

Keep up the great work, building your own will be so much more gratifying than paying someone else to do the truck 👍

[@TheThirdWheel618]

Great video 👌 I'm.planning on at least mocking up my 250 for a flip but I will use the 3" beams from Auto Fab or chassis tech they make them for the 250 up front . Did you check if the top of your axle housing will hit the bed before going into your c notch ? I'm thinking my Dana 60 will it's worth a try thanks ...you encouraged me to go for it .

[@classicstangbrn8964]

That's not a 9 in, it's a 9 3/4 that's why it wouldn't fit, run into those in Lincolns.

[@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE]

Good video and glad to see your father out there helping you, get him to help out on the Galaxy $$? That Galaxy is gonna be sweet....

[@Spennyman10]

Just curious, judging from the clearance I see in the video, is notching the frame a must? It looks like you would have been fine with the stock frame. Asking for my 83 F150 Lol. Keep up the good work. The truck looks great!

[@Mr.EeToMyself]

My question too… it looks a bit too permanent.
