I would have had to grab that old grill shell for wall art if nothing else

[@wyohotrods]

The grill in the bed of that pickup was from a 60s dodge.

[@albertgaspar627]

just about to post that...

[@davidhenson3372]

66 dodge

Those beams you bent with a torch are now super fragile!!! You’re only supposed to cold bend I beams on these old fords.

[@purplemonte1]

Was going to say same thing!!

[@GreenDragonPainting]

Man this made me want to throw my sandwich on the floor and head to the junkyard 🤣

[@WhyBeNick]

You guys might already be planning on it, but I would definitely plate those beams. They're beefy, but they do bend if you really beat on them without reinforcement.

[@braedengraham2268]

I’m in high school as well and I’ve got a lifted ‘71 f100 on 35’s with a built 352, cammed up, open headers, 850 Holley carb which is being rebuilt by my girlfriend’s dad at the moment but besides that it runs great. It’s awesome to see another high schooler that wants to build something instead of waiting for mommy and daddy to find one..... Love the truck man

[@andystreets4660]

I have been using the new edge mustang v6 t5s in my last couple of builds. The 3.8 bellhousing bolts directly to a small block. You have to use a truck flywheel, clutch, and starter but other than that it works good.

[@FordFanatic865]

Best part of the day is when I get the notification that Craig posted a video 🤟🏼

[@pinstripingbybear.]

@6:30 thats a dodge truck grille like a 60tys power wagon grille

[@samthelegoman3990]

The ground or the floor?

[@mromatic17]

That is a good idea craig when i start restoring my daily driver 1994 f150 ill go and collect the vin tags off of junked ford trucks. you are right that they can’t even be restored cuz once the truck is junked they delete the vin off the record and its the only tangiable.

[@spencersand2754]

I want all those old ford pickups 😍

[@wbrandes6626]

Yall should get me them headers for Christmas😂 I need them for my 460

[@physkogamer7139]

18:32 I NEED THAT BUMPER. I need that front bumper for my 75. That looks like its in such good shape

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

No rust anywhere! Damn you boys are lucky to live where ever you are.

D100 65-67 grill!!

[@foxhillhomestead3444]

I'm a huge square body chevy guy but I love galaxy fords and really like your f100. Really enjoy your content.

[@beardedscrapper538]

That truck is sick.

My favorite place to scrap for rarity’s… PYP West. Used to be named LKQ.

[@fullsendsornosends1176]

If i gota dotsun it would probably have a v8 in it... the rotsun mk2

[@michaelmogan4708]

Grill is from a 65.5 to 67 dodge truck. Remember the pie pan lights. Ugly grills.

We need more people saving these GEMS uuuhhh🤕🥺

[@Z3CHYD]

Man I need to get to my local big junkyard now lol

[@dk832002]

It's because the gm t5 doesn't have a spot for a trans mount because the body uses the torque arm

Craig I'm willing to bet that dually had a banks power pack or something like that.

[@jcfireman2215]

That first rate porosity in that weld on the spring perches.

[@andrewstevenson5155]

yes i love the 240z and my 280z i would definitely watch videos on that. and on another note why are your junk yards so good cant find anything old in my yards its usually all new cars :(

[@danielheartsill4269]

I wouldn't put money on it either but the grill looks like a Dodge van from the sixties. It didn't stay in the camera for long and didn't get to see the whole thing, but my guess is Dodge.

[@mikeobrien3744]

Dodge truck/van grill. 1966-677 dish headlights. Popular style, don't ask me why.

[@Robrt32]

I wish we had yards like that around here. Everything pre 90’s has been hauled to the crusher.

[@codyreynolds6333]

Buy that grill insert on the black truck and I'll buy it from u I need bolth sides if they are good and find me a ashtray lol I like original stuff

[@trevordevins1042]

Get that 460!!!!

[@giftdcam8472]

That camaro was a world class.. I’m glad you called the guy lol

[@texjake3]

Dude, I need those headers off that blue Camaro. I need them for my Vortec heads. I'll pay you to shipped to me in Texas!

[@jeromewieland55]

Shorty headers make about 2hp over a set of manifolds. I’d find a good set of long tubes because it’s not worth the money or time to do a set of shorties on anything.

[@taylorward4205]

Got that same KING hat 👌

[@tommyhall350]

If you get a chance to look up maple motors Henderson bill TN look at the 64 ford white it is for sale go to u tube check it. Out you will like it very nice

[@chevylandt.v]

Oh dang my Friday just got better. Is that white dentside grille good looking for both iner and outer for a 73 -77 f100.

[@joey6119]

That truck is begging for a stroker 351 Windsor 408 or 427 sweet maybe 396 or 8 I don't remember

[@farmerjordan19]

Okay if your looking for a world class t5 the only car I know of that came with it is the svo and fun fact it's a 4 cylinder everything else came stock with a regular t5

[@GearlessChris]

A Datsun would be cool.

[@jesseduke694]

Bad move cutting the side wall of them tires. Were they a set of 4? Even if not they were a set of 2. Not sure about in California but were im at that was a usable tire for a few miles anyway. I have brand new set of mud tires for my truck I use only to go to the mud runs. The other 11 months of the yr I buy cheap used tires like those & there good enuf to burn up showing off by smoking your tires for your buddys or flying up & down the gravel roads all over the county just out being a terror. Its alot cheaper than buying new mud tires every yr. You could have cut the valve stem.

[@maxpain1947]

When you were in home boys garage, i thought you were still in the junk yard.

[@ericdolan2130]

23:51: Not busting balls, but those welds are NOT good(I'm an AWS Certified Welder and Welding Inspector). Way too much porosity and undercut. With that, usually comes lack of penetration. When you re-do the brackets, keep a couple of things in mind. If you are using flux core, you drag the wire (You slag, you drag), like stick. If you are using bare wire with a gas, push the wire. Pony up for some name brand wire (Lincoln L56 is my personal favorite). Believe me, it makes a huge difference. Make sure you have ALL of the crap off there. Don't buy the crap that you can "Burn it out", you can't. It just ends up in the weld sub-surface. Heat should be set for the tubing thickness of the axle. Wash it into the bracket if it is a bit hot for the thinner material. I've been following for a while, and I'd hate like hell to see all that hard work come to an abrupt end because one of the brackets tore off the axle housing during a spirited burnout or hard shift!

[@Thecraig909]

It was welded with inner shield from a welding rig and not by me because it was super last minute. I’m aware of the porosity and it will be clean the next time around.

[@huevigarage]

Datsun with a vh45 Infiniti engine and a z32 trans. Sounds like a fun car. Or a inline 6 turbo. Get one

17:03 Hope you can buy and save that Datsun 280Z.

[@backyardmechanicrestoratio6958]

Buy the studebaker that thing would make a clean rat rod

240/260 Z's are da bomb ... DO IT !!!!

for How much will a standard transmission cost for a Camaro 8 cyl. Like the blue Camaro

[@mromatic17]

@thecraig909 were your front I beam axles bent? Is that whay you had to heat it up with a torch and bend it with a jack?

[@LKRS111]

Thermoquad is a Mopar carb & Quadrajet is Gm .

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

Is the roof rust caused by vehicles in close proximity to the ocean and the saline moisture? I've seen that in Florida, but Florida has a lot more humidity.

[@jth1987leb]

Dick move slicing the tires. How do you know what someone may or may not use. And that’s damaging the junkyards goods. Then you’re super careful taking off the build plate.

[@gymbob79]

Hope you grabbed the drain plug for that t5. It was literally laying on the ground next to it.

Yep, easily the best way to find good WC T5s in my area. Foxes are all beyond stripped, but the NE v6s are generally intact.

[@dno5779]

JonathanW has a video on those 5 speeds.

[@OtisENGINEuity]

As someone that had a 95 Bronco for 6 years I can tell you the TTB split Dana 44 is shit on the street. It may be great at high speed out in the desert with upgraded components, but stock it SUCKS! They follow every little grove in the highway, they bump steer like crazy, they try to turn on their own when you let off the gas.. I will say though it is hilarious to turn off O/D and floor it and watch the hood lift like 2 feet and then drop when you let off just because the weight transfer unloads the front suspension and lets it droop.

[@brianadams429]

My 94 Bronco when i bought it from a friend, at intersections where pavement changed highth at the curb would wander if you didn't put in counter steer. Well i replaced the smoked draglinks/tie rods. The worn out worm gear in the steering box was the major part of that issue. When replaced the steering box, no more wacky slack. Old box i could move the steering wheel from close to 10 to 2 with no tire movement.
