WE MADE IT! My F100 Makes The Trip From San Diego To Phoenix With Its NEW ENGINE!

[@alansmead4516]

I'm a 63 year old, old school hot rodder! I am a Ford man! My first vehicle was a 1950 F-1 w/ 237 V-8 flathead! Offy heads, original Eldebrock intake w/ 2 Stromberg carbs! Patina Pea Green! Lol. Had her as my daily for 14 years! Proud to see a nice young man interested in hot rods! Keep up the good work! You've got alot of potential!

[@HootervilleHaney]

You are lucky to have an awesome friend like Sean! He's a good guy

[@scottypetty9117]

Those old Ford are badass..makes my old ass jealous..old trucks with new chassi and interior wow just wow.

[@reidbarnes9851]

Your truck really sounds good. Sean is the kind of good guy that doesn't come along everyday.

[@FordEra]

Such a good time brother, Thank you for making it out. It was great to hang out!

[@montymatilda]

I'm a car guy but, you have me waiting for the next truck video as well as the Galaxie. Never thought that would happen. You do a great job and you seem to have a bunch of fun doing it. I did when I was your age. Nice you have friends that get involved too. The F-100 sounds fantastic. The cam you chose seems to be about right. It will be fun to see how it breaks in and what happens when you get to play a little. What a show you were at. Really nice stuff. Nice you acknowledge all those who help and those who help sponsor. Ya really get some great stuff. Be well. 'Till the next video.

[@williamsanders468]

Lol it’s slowly turning into Craig&Sean909

[@quentonsmith6085]

Always been Craig and Sean haha

[@danpayne1056]

Good!

[@c7d3p]

Truck sounds great. I've got a 65 with a 352 fe and a 270h. Your videos definitely motivate me to improve my truck.

[@Dave_Boyer]

I had to laugh about the hoist arm, I’ve done that myself a couple times. Good work!

[@davidcarrell9313]

Good job sound good. I did the same thing to my 1966 Ford f 250. I built my motor in about 2 weeks with a big cam. Great job guys

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Good job she's sounds great. Great truck show. Some really nice trucks.

[@ernestrodriguez4659]

Big hello brother. Awesome turn out for your truck and the show! I happen to notice that your exhaust pipes smacked on the back end of the trailer. Check the footage when you were loading your truck at the end of the show. Happy thanksgiving!!

[@walterfurian8806]

Well done all I’m glad the motor checked out and went to plan . Always on a fresh rebuild it’s squeaky bum time on first start up. The mind races and your going over everything in your head making sure you tighten this up , checking for leaks etc etc .

[@richardbaker5151]

Fantastic job on the rebuild, sounds sweet as anything, what's next for it? loved the slammed and smoothed red Bump at the show...

[@jeffb3535]

Wow !! That’s amazing and love the sound of that that cam. When I built my 302 for my old 65 falcon I had an old valve cover with the top cut out so I could adjust the rockers without having an oil mess all over.

[@black82f100]

Great job they got caps you can put on the tail shaft tape it up good and you won't lose your fluid

[@allfamilyimportanddomestic8508]

Don’t have me an f100 but got me a 1997 powerstroke dually I consider a classic currently restoring it thanks for the inspiration

[@gregfoster4541]

Awesome video, great gathering of all vehicles!!🙃 the'71 is sounding soooo good 👍, thanks so much for sharing and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!

[@johnshaver5693]

Was waiting on you to do the motor in your truck so glad you put in the dome pistons you should really find you some 40 or P heads. Correct any valve train noise pronto that slaming of that lifter against the lobe that you don't hear will destroy that cam quick. But rock's dude can't wait for the track...

[@johnwoods9024]

Love the cam idle, I miss my old’67, glad to see an old school motor build, not a new conversion, looks great, looking forward to the summer nights, cruising grand e t c.👍

[@fredfrancis80]

Love your truck but you need to make longer ramps for the trailer cheers mate

[@mrkrzt]

Glad you figured out to put trans on motor before putting in, early in video you didn't, I was worried. Anyway you did a good job rebuilding and installing so fast. Very proud of you and friend!

[@leathers970]

We have a ford show very close to us u should come its the ford f100 nationals in pigeon forge Tennessee

[@owenphillips3990]

Craig, that is a mean sounding truck and I love it. Definitely one of my favorite sounds to hear is a mean sounding vehicle.

[@dillonjohnson924]

I would highly recommend doing away with that glass fuel filter have seen too many nice rides get burned to the ground because of them leaking or bursting

[@RobThompsontheITguy]

Not specifically related but when I was around 9 or 10 my father and I were on his Harley FLT and he sees smoke coming from the back of a VW bus. He pulled around them and flagged them to the side of the road. I remember the woman being upset at my dad when she got out but my dad got her kids out of the back. I don't think she understood in the moment, your van is on fire and you need to get out. It was fully engulfed by the time SDFD arrived. Later he apologized to her for frightening her and not saving her groceries. The engine block in his beast may not be magnesium but fire is not good.

[@jdrods1519]

Awesome! Your giving me the motivation to get back on my ole f100! Happy you got it back together brother 🇺🇸💪🏻

[@low.wagons]

I don’t like those glass fuel filters I have seen many of them crack open and catch fire

[@jamesluke7377]

As a prior trans tech, I've learned to use plastic (cheap) trans tail housing plugs. They will keep most, if not all trans fluid in the trans and off the ground/floor/driveway. Just a piece of FYI. 😁

[@philhunt3908]

It's about time that old engine got some love it sounds awesome great job guys

[@CraftwerksMC]

Love the truck Craig and I appreciate your enthusiasm and all the work you put into your truck and video. It's inspiring in a lot of ways!

[@williamalley4976]

Good job on the build. Now Back to the Real build The Galaxie, Can't wait.

[@BossVoss39]

Was that some Thecraig909 merch I seen in there?! Great video Craig it takes a LOT of organization for something like that for a week. Glad everything worked well for you and your team.

[@keithmarquardt7025]

Sounds really good!! Great job!! Keep up the great videos.

[@HammerPowered]

Hell yeah. Great job guys, especially given the short timeframe you had to work with. Sounds rowdy.

[@rdspeedfab]

Excellent vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesworkman686]

You and Sean killed it man keep up the great work.💯

[@adamthompson4741]

Awesome job bud glad to see you made the git down!!!

[@MrShads813]

Truck sounds amazing man‼️‼️‼️ love the content. This is definitely motivating me to start my projects sooner rather than later

[@brandonworthington2522]

Favorite truck on KZbin. Good job man you guys killed it👍🏻👍🏻

[@dssd650]

I just did the break in on my 460 a couple weeks ago. Such a scary and exciting moment at the same time!

[@CHays007]

Sounds like an FE... you could have that sound in the Galaxie too!

[@omar_padilla]

Yeah!!!!! It sounds so mean, I feel like going and working on my truck but it's 2:14 in the morning lol. Great job and doing forget to hook your boy sean up with a fat steak and thanks for letting us come along on this adventure with you my boy. Keep fording!!!

[@nathan4919]

It looks cool as hell with the skinny's on the front and wide on the rear.

[@robertweitlauf4653]

i am Chevrolet all the way , but that is one nice ford. i love the patina on your truck. you can take it to any show and feel good about showing it.

[@johnaba5683]

Everyone did an amazing job truck sounds great can't wait for the break-in in the first burnout I'm sure you can either thanks for sharing the show with us definitely worth seeing quite an accomplishment you made in a week you should be proud all of you

[@Reaglesracing44_]

if your in phoenix arizona would love to see your truck and meet up possibly!!

[@jr.torres4491]

bro. thats sounds and looks badass 😎 👌. You and your hoime did a good job.

[@BobPegram]

Run your F 100 on your favorite twisty back road for us please! If you know how fast it ran on it before, let us know how much faster it is now.

[@tommysantos1658]

Boy I've been wanting to hear this engine again since u started the rebuild. That thing sound sick. A dyno run in the near future to see what its actual power is?

[@Thecraig909]

Ohh we’re definitely dynoing it

[@brianmaynard7320]

And I wanted to add that you guys kicked ass getting that engine completed and in the truck.. NOICE!! LOL

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

I wonder what the plan is for the GT500 when the drivetrain is gutted. Race car?

[@stephengordon8968]

Sounds great , excellent work you guys !

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

Truck sounds killer ... quite the accomplishment in such a short time .

[@maxnichols1727]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Great job and once again your video made me feel like I was at the show. Keep tweaking on that motor, it'll get better and better. Oh yes, put some hangers on your exhaust. I closed one eye when it was dragging going on the trailer. HAHA

[@stanlee882]

Goal's I would love to get done on my project 82 c10 much love from Houston Tx

[@barbaraordoyne4671]

Good job buddy I have a s10 with a small block 350 I been working on for 3 years now should be done soon

[@MRKRG9]

Great Job Craig

[@michaeldtt32]

She sounds wonderful good job!!

[@sparky72]

Awesome job and it sounds awesome. Sean is a true friend, guys like that don’t grow on trees. Btw why’s your alt only putting out 12 volts??

[@dkreuzen]

Your late night thrashing brings back memories when I used to do that over 50 years ago. I enjoy seeing people your age getting into classic cars and trucks. Too many your age can't even change a tire... sad.

[@shadowknight99999]

She sounds good man. I definitely want to bring my 67 high boy to one of these shows someday!

[@bobkroupa8445]

Makes the trip! On a trailer! But you all did good!

[@millspaugh2000]

Great job on the truck it sounds amazing!!

[@mikeycunningham2307]

Shes sounds really good you guys did a great job on her

[@jasonmyers3847]

Now I wish I still had my '67 half ton short bed. Tons of cool trucks!

[@silverbell800]

Really hyped for this video, BUT... I have to say, in spite of what you said at the end of the vid, continuing to break in a cam if you hear noise under the valve covers is one of the cardinal sins of engine building lol. I know you were pressed for time, but still. I hope it is just rocker noise and not a collapsed lifter.

[@melvinthompson4323]

Cool video and content thanks for posting!!😎👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

Mite have missed it! What cam did you use? Sounds great!

[@TDSG34]

I lot of great trucks, but honestly, I like yours :) -- and you're right, it sounds awesome !

[@jasonmyers3847]

Yeah....why would you part out a new very cool Cobra Mustang??

[@jakobbattershell1446]

I went there and didn’t see you and specifically went looking at the fords for ideas for my 73 super camper special

[@orionfixr7713]

Could you possibly introduce us to the pretty blonde haired lady ? She's everything a mid west dude thinks of when he thinks of a California girl. Truck sounds great ! Can't wait to see the first rip . Maybe the first trip to the strip ? Good job guys .

[@flatbroke_9246]

You still have a great looking ride Team Ford 4Life 👇🏼

[@siahmartin2448]

That’s awesome man I wish I could’ve seen that 59 ford

[@ivanr5436]

Sounds mean! You guys did an awesome job with the amount of time you had. Just a question though since im thinking of rebuilding my motor. After initial start up are you supposed to keep the rpm above a certain range and for a certain period of time?

[@michaelastone7758]

You will get you truck to look like that nice ones at the show one day keep up the good work

[@stevepearson7745]

Nice job but I would remove that glass fuel filter. I have seen many come apart. I would hate for that to happen to you.

[@kennyrodg]

Congrats from the UK Dude. Awesome work from you guys.....

[@brandonbailey9021]

Sounds amazing, nice job.

[@geonbugman]

Please get rid of the death trap fuel filter!!! Fully sealed filters are cheap and are not made of fragile glass, plus they do not vibrate loose. try NAPA 3002 for 5/16" or 3003 for 3/8"

[@joecameron3512]

Awesome job sounds ford beautiful

[@sgtfroman]

Dude.... I don't know what to say other then AWESOME!!!

[@Viktorrhansen]

dude great job!!! sounds wicked!

[@tommyhall350]

The truck sounds great job

[@rcaddict25]

Serious question... does a ranchero go to a car Meet or a truck meet? My 73 is a confused hybrid lol

[@majcrash]

Yes.

[@MrJerryKramer]

The Ford F100 looks so cool 😎

[@jasonmorales1846]

There should be the F100 Western Nationals hopefully in June in Anaheim Ca.if interested NO CHEVY'S!!!!!!!!

[@GreaserthoughtsGarage]

So pumped you made it bro!!

[@benkoch7729]

Very cool dude!

[@jessethompson1545]

Good job getting it together. It’s a good feeling isn’t it?

[@suicidekings2]

Bummed I missed you when you were here in AZ. Next time you come through swing by and do a feature video on my shit box fox!!!!

[@classicstangbrn8964]

Did you use some sort of screw in rocker arm studs, the press in type will pull out with heavier springs and larger cams?

[@duffrednecks930]

All I can say is AWESOME sounds good as hell

[@dannymyers3954]

Love bumpsides and for a little 302 she sounds healthy.

[@DYLANTRIES]

Damn that variable valve lift sounds good!

[@ponypwr]

I like the skinnier wheel and tireup front, looks more likea hotrod and fits the truck. Now those wheels with 275s square on the Galaxie with a NASCAR style side exhaust with x pipe and boom tube, THAT would be sick!

[@MrJerryKramer]

Man I wish I knew when you came to Phoenix, I live in Phoenix and would have loved to meet you and touch your F100 ☹️. If you come next year please let us know 👍

[@geraldfischer6049]

Nice work on the engine, BUT, you don’t know about cold weather! Try up here in Minnesota! But nice work!

[@fortitudegarage8956]

LOVE It Buddy!!! GREAT WORK Again Craig & Sean/Shawn!! Always been a Big fan of your channel & Your Dent Side!! One ?? I think your Pickup Looks INCREDIBLE The way it is, but have you considered bringing the Patina into the Front Driver Side fender & maybe a little bit in the driver's door? Just to get it a little more uniform... Keep up the Great Work & Content!!!

[@johnweeks5614]

Truck is sounding awesome congratulations
