I love ford trucks. I have a 1966 Ford f 250. Great show all the time. I wish that I have friends like you got. I don’t have no one to help me. I built my engine and put a big cam in it. I don’t get to work on it much anymore. Thx David

[@americanmusclemaniac9565]

That looks really nice dude. Love the ford. I have a buddy with a 68 ford F-100 with a 390 V8 4 speed manual that is really nice.

great e-brake tip, I've been a car guy over 60 years. teaching an old dog new tricks, thanks. I also like all your classics.

[@skigdividerx4991]

Box end wrench works on the e-brake too.

[@HammerPowered]

I will second your comments on cutting the cord with social media (odd that I'm commenting such on a KZbin video, but, this is my version of TV lol). I'm a week into that experiment myself, and it's refreshing. Amazing how much extra time and less stress I found in my day that way...lol Suspension looks killer. And it's exactly how I've painted my suspensions in the past - in a makeshift booth. Still gets the job done.

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

I have really enjoyed this build . When we painted my s10 we hung plastic in walls and floor 3 box fans with furnace filters to vent . Used engine enamel then nason clear over it. .

[@hanikcmppur5729]

Your truck made me want to get a 70s F100 to build and restore. Definitely one of my dream cars now.

[@Buzza1966]

I have been trying to get that e brake lien out of my mustangs rear brake system, you are a live saver

[@Thecraig909]

I gotchu fam.

[@tsautogarage7236]

Thecraig909 bro you should throw some white under glow light on your truck especially under the bed so it will light up your axle at night and you can see the color at night for shows. That would be bitchin bro

[@richwolf7293]

Sliding a box end wrench over the keeper works as well

[@walterfurian8806]

It’s amazing what a little colour makes on components . Great work guys !

I know you want a patina look but put some white rock lights in the wheel wells so you can see the paint really well also love the build man keep up the good work

[@georgesharp876]

Always learn something new when watching your videos, but I got a question. Why didn't you go ahead and cut off the old spring perches?

[@380.motorsports]

The front spindles and coil springs in that copper color would look great.

[@jessethompson1545]

That color compliments your truck. Great job guys.

Sweet looking undercarriage on your f100 dude, looks more red on my screen. Love that copper metallic! Got me thinking about doing the underside of my 79 f100 now! You guys did a great job on it.🛠️⚒️⚙️🔧👍👍👌👏🗜️🔩

Hint on e brake cables.....tap a 12pt boxed in 1/2-9/16 wrench right over the tabs and they slide right out

[@noisemaker250]

1/2 inch boxed end wrench works on the cable ends like the clamp but quicker

[@BLAKEDILLONRACINGDEVELOPMENT]

Awesome job Craig! I don't know if you remember me or not, but I'm the kid from Missouri with that blue 71 f250. I still have that dash Mat and other stuff if you want it lol. Finally restoring mine on my channel.

[@davidcatlette9697]

Wow that turned out really nice

[@mikek771]

Love the color. Great choice. Now. When you get it all back together. Bring it to an alignment shop. One where they can bend the arms to get the correct camber. Will handle much better. Not to mention better tire wear. Keep up the good work.

[@2koolchris291]

I think you need some lights under your truck to shine on the suspension while you’re driving to show off how good that looks. When I rebuild my bronco I’m painting the suspension in a similar color.

[@lucusc4002]

It just seems so simple to work on these old American cars. This colour on the suspension looks incredible too especially since you’ll be able to see it since it’s a truck.

[@ivanfletcher4671]

great job man- been likeing your videos for awhile now. And for kicks you seat belt video compelled me to pull my seat replace them and put a seat cover on. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Looks great! You are tempting me to yank the front end out of my project. But in Utah it’s MUCH colder than 65 degrees!!! I laughed right out loud when you said it was cold at 65. BwaHahaha!!! 🤣🥶

[@Autovisions]

Make sure you use grey/black rtv not that orange stuff so your diff won’t leak

[@250xrider1988]

They actually make an rtv specifically for gear oil

[@jimh309]

A professional presentation for sure!

[@jonlennon3348]

You should paint the truck that color and add white stripes across the hood and over the cab and tailgate.

[@properteaproperty]

Time for a rear disc conversion.. Trucks looking good 😎👍

[@galaxie500xl7]

The next time make it easier on yourself. Put the springs under it, but only put the front bolts in the spring eyes. Let the back of the springs lay on the ground. Set the rear over the springs and put the U bolts in. Hand tightens the bolts. Raise the rear spring eyes up and put the bolts in. It's much easier than trying to set the rear over the side of the spring.

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

I dumped social media a couple of months ago, I feel much better now and getting lots of work done.

[@Ellenslife851]

Looking good love how it came I agree painting your parts is well worth it especially if you’re going to be in there anyways taking those parts out that’s exactly what I would have done to painted the parts while they were out

Will do gotta get my project going .

[@rdspeedfab]

Looks great man! Nice color choice.

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

yep One man operation... remove as much as you can from Axle housing. Saves on back , what i did on my install to the bronco... Dam those bearings on axle are pain to remove.

[@izzynutz2000]

You can do the same thing with a box end half inch wrench just slip it over it it will collapse the tabs and out comes the cable...

[@mcwillies2737]

I can't wait to see it when you get it back on the road. I've always thought the undercarriage of a truck being painted changes the entire look.

[@zackerythomas4536]

Yeah but that is the settings i prefer to use the gun on

Could you do a video on how to properly support your truck while working on it? I have a 69 F100. I want to start working on it more but I'm deathly afraid of going underneath it. Especially if the tires are going to be off.

Good job craig, your gonna be shocked at how much better she handles now, you must have read my mind concerning social media,I deleted my Facebook account today.

[@JuicyMullet801]

Weird question! I noticed that when your differential is off it look’s like the frame is bent out of the way of the shock. I noticed this on my own truck that has air shocks in the back because it’s a camper special & I assumed that was something the previous owner had done to add said shock’s! Is this something they did factory on these model years?

[@marcusmaddenov5788]

Rear is looking pretty sharp!
