You guys bought the truck for a reason and it couldn’t get it done for what you needed to do. Makes total sense. Some people don’t understand that functionality aspect of it. Maybe it’s because the channel is mainly everything vintage. A lot of us got tired of tv shows swapping diesels and modern drivetrains into old cars. This channel gave us something different. Probably hard for some folks to break away from. But I know the difference between this truck and the hot rods. This is a business truck with the old feel because it needs to be a workhorse. Good job guys
In Argentina this f600 came from the factory with a YBlock 292 engine and in its diesel version with a Perkins 6 engine, cordial greetings from Argentina, very good job
Watching you pull the front off reminded me of a Diesel Creek saying "testing the tensile strength of everything I forgot to disconnect ". 😅😅😅 PS, love the old school chainfall.
Ha! I like the old school chain hoist too, but there are times that they can get a tad bit annoying, as to where an electric winch with the controls in your hand can be a blessing. They can be a cursing, too, if you get a little impatient with what you are attempting to do. There's good and bad in just about anything...😊😮😂
@@gordonstroup882 ITG's shop reminds me so much of my late friend Jeff's shop. It was in an old carriage house, and had a chainfall like that one, but way sketchier, as it was secured to the upper floor, with a hole drilled through, and an old bumper jack handle to keep the chain in place. The track Matt has would have been a great upgrade. We pulled a lot of motors using that thing, though.
You probably know this already - there are gear heads into those Y-blocks the same as your tribe is into flatheads. Might be fairly desirable as an original unmolested truck engine. Good choice on the Cummins!
As commented below, not a Y-block. Not an FE either. According to wikipedia it would be a 330 cu. in. FT series. Specifically Ford Truck, not FE, Ford Edsel series
I've been a mechanic for close to 30 years now , and the words of my Journey Man are as clear today as the first time I heard them . Son if you want to stink shit in your pants , it's much less trouble than a diesel .
There's coolant everywhere, Man! Even in my armpit hair, Man! I've got coolant down my arm, and coolant on my face, I've got coolant in my hair and in my mouth! Matt, I'm takin' a breaaaak, So I can WASH this coolant OUT! Theerrrs Coooolant evvverrry Wheeere! TA DAH!🎉😮😅😊😅😂
Be careful leaving the motor on the oil pan back in the day a friend did that and when he put the motor in it had a knock it was the crank hitting the oil pan had to bang the oil pan out and the knock was gone!!!
Mat or Steve an old trick to keep coolant from going everywhere is to push a 45 degree spark plug boot over peacock pointing coolant down in a controlled manner
"ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE INVESTMENT!"😮😊 Talking about fighting to drive the old girl, with her old, underpowered engine and the old style transmission, and then go to a more modern Cummins engine and a 6 speed trans will be like night & day! Yeah, Matt might have to re-gear the differential, or maybe swap it out for a newer one. One out of a newer F-350 would more than likely fit the needs. I hope that everything goes smoothly for the guys, and it'd be awesome to see it running next week. 😮😊 Have a good one 👍
I hope the change out goes good . I drove a F700 for several years. Big loads ,my hearing still sucks 30 years later. I hope it’s going to be a lot Quieter on your rig. The mountains around Poughkeepsie are big ,never much of a problem with the 2 Speed rear end. That low speed made the hills doable. Good luck. 👍
@@IEchuckie My ears ring almost all the time and it sucks. Can’t fix it and HARD of hearing . Got a twofer now. I am 60 and need hearing aides for sure. I know me saying what to my wife sucks,sucks a lot actually. I had dirt bikes for 35 years that didn’t help either. Have a good day all.
I cant wait to see this truck bombing around full of parts, pulling those hills in PA, VA, and WV with no problem whatsoever. It looks a lot cooler than a U haul too!
Oh heck yeah! Those U-Hauls and the other rental trucks are almost useless.

Are you using or have you tried the Air chesel bit that allows you to hammer down on a screw head while turning with a wrench. Works great on Phillips head screws
You may want to keep that E brake on the trans before you give it away you’re going to need some sort of an E break unless you upgrade the differential to an air brake system, DOT may jump your shit just something to think about
No brainer swap for the truck, my 68 c10 that i use as a truck has a gasp 5.3 ls and my 36 has a 59a flathead you can like both sides and still be a traditional hot rodder.
Those Fords always did have the best cabs. The doors sound like bank vaults. But they never did seem as good as GM in terms of powertrain. At least in my experience. This will close that gap - and then some.
Love the swap you’re doing! That engine might be a candidate for a 50’s/60’s hot rod. I hope the fuel tank will be moving outside the cab, nothing worse than smelling diesel for hours. A set of air brakes would be nice also. And while you’re at it- a/c, power steering, stereo system, etc, but keep it traditional 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Naw, the iron they used in those blocks wasn't as good as what they used in hi-performance blocks and heads. It just might become a grenade! 😮😢 money down the drain.
I dont understand the negative responses about a much needed upgrade 2 make this workhorse be able 2 work. ITG bought this classic 2 work and function,,,reliably,,,maybe the choice of brands of diesel is their problem???? Idk....maybe a 429 and 2mpg....Love the plan and the videos👐👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I know, what's up with that? Matt has a good head on his shoulders and he has a plan of things to come for the old truck. "Ol' Red" is going to make Matt and his crew very happy with what is about to happen. A better, newer heart and the 6 speed muscles behind it will certainly make the old gal get back out there in the workforce, doing once again what they were born to do... WORK, WORK & WORK some more, until the day comes for her to aquire a new caretaker, a new handler. 😮😢😊😅😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
This will be a good project, looking forward to more video. Side note, I work for a utility company and use a chain fall like yours all the time, we have a bridge crane too but the chain hoist is handy sometimes. I think the shop was built in the early 60s maybe. At least you’re not dangling engines over your excellent automobiles with a fork truck like is seen in some videos.
best thing I did was set a good 4 post lift with 180 degree swing jib crane with ELECTRIC hoist. Pull heavy engine, swing over to work area and set trans etc on work bench. I'm old and worn out but this set up took all the pain out of rebuilding, which I have to do to keep sane.
Sounds great! And I know what you mean by saying... to keep from going insane. Geez, if I didn't have my projects, I probably would have just sat around and piddled away....😮😢, but thankfully I have an understanding wife that puts up with me and my, as she calls, junk, ha ha😅
Yeah, it would be nice to keep it stock if you're going to just park it in the shed and look at it, but to make it more useable out on the road, the 12valve will be a good, reliable swap that is easy to work on, and give decent fuel mileage and power to run in traffic when loaded. You'll be more interested in driving the truck and using it much more for things you wouldn't have before. Anyone who has ever driven those gas trucks knows how underpowered and slow they really were, especially the smaller engines like you have. This will be a nice user truck when finished. I would look at power steering and A/C as an option while you're doing the swap. I believe the steering gear off of one of the later Fords is a little heavier and would work on that truck. Have fun Matt!
... also. I realize this isn't a Model T stake bed. BUT I never understood those that criticize a "work truck" power plant upgrade. THIS CATEGORY of hot rodding is a completely different, purpose adventure. THAT DIESEL will put you upon a different and more comfortable planet.
Smart move pulling that underpowered engine out of the Red Beast. It was ridiculous Ford put it in a truck that size to begin with. I've no doubt that you could some goid bucks for it selling it to someone with a Ford F150 of that time period it belings in. Can't wait to see the turbo diesel install episode.
Morning ITG! Great swap idea!! I almost did the diesel swap in my F-350, I had the opportunity to buy another one ton for the diesel motor/trans...I have enough projects, don't need another one....best of luck to y'all!!!
Nice Video. You are always changing shit up. So it's no Surprising of what you are doing. Looking Forward to the next in Cummins Video. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸
The previous owner took very good care of this truck. I was amazed at the area under the seat.There must have been only the owner driving it. Great job!👍
I am getting a little ahead of your videos, but where do you plan on relocating battery? The diesel will require two batteries so you might as well put them together somewhere. Also, what radiator do you plan on using? The existing one will not be big enough for the Cummins. Good luck- this is a big job to make this change but the truck should run stronger and faster.
Sweet! This thing will finally be able to keep up with traffic. It'd be sweet if you could score some old school diesel gauges to really compliment the build.
Yo all of the nay sayers, which is better a truck that you cant use and just sits or a truck that is usable and gets driven? Im sure a lot if people have visions of a welder up style build. Im absolutely sure iron trap build will encompass the best of both worlds, vintage look and modern driveability. Lgcustoms did a swap that embraces those ideas and is super cool. Cant wait to see more
Oops a shower of antifreeze on Steve, not good but that's the it was back then. A good toggle open will be better. Hope you are okay Steve. Nice job guys.
My Dad's old wrecker was a '47 Chevy 2 ton. It was a flatbed that belonged to a lumber company. When he converted it to a wrecker back in the day, he replaced the 261 Chevy six with an inline GMC 302 six and swapped a 2spd axle under it. Then custom built the wrecker bed. Before he passed away (much too young), he had plans to put a 351 GMC V-6 in it, that never came to fruition.

Those Fords always did have the best cabs. The doors sound like bank vaults. But they never did seem as good as GM in terms of powertrain. At least in my experience. This will close that gap - and then some.
Are you going to swap to disk brakes on the front axle?it might be easier to get a whole new front axle with brakes off of a f600 or Kodiak topkick
My son did the same swap on a much newer Ford. The truck runs fine but it needs to be read geared badly
That will be stage two
He's gettin' a new rearend so he can go fast again😮😅
Matt's dad was a truck mechanic. They probably have it covered.
Love the swap you’re doing! That engine might be a candidate for a 50’s/60’s hot rod. I hope the fuel tank will be moving outside the cab, nothing worse than smelling diesel for hours. A set of air brakes would be nice also. And while you’re at it-

The old engine, what are the plans for it?
Selling it
Ya wanna buy it?🤔?
With the new Diesel comes 4 time the torque. Better box that channel frame and add gussets where appropriate. Just saying...
>>Totally gutless
Big red is getting some powerful upgrades. Phase 1 complete. Phase 2 cleanup and prep for install.
Easy Peasy, coming apart.
I hope it goes together as well for you guys.
Nice Video. You are always changing shit up. So it's no Surprising of what you are doing. Looking Forward to the next in Cummins Video.

Hilarious. My uncle would always empty antifreeze in his driveway, just to not mess up his garage floor. THEN DRIVE IT IN. 😂😂
The previous owner took very good care of this truck. I was amazed at the area under the seat.There must have been only the owner driving it. Great job!👍
I am getting a little ahead of your videos, but where do you plan on relocating battery? The diesel will require two batteries so you might as well put them together somewhere. Also, what radiator do you plan on using? The existing one will not be big enough for the Cummins. Good luck- this is a big job to make this change but the truck should run stronger and faster.
Oh, if necessary, Matt will build the added space for the batteries, and radiators are easily acquired nowadays.
The fan noise is fine, can't really hear it.
Why didn't you back the truck in? would have far more room to work

Sweet! This thing will finally be able to keep up with traffic.
It'd be sweet if you could score some old school diesel gauges to really compliment the build.
Don't know about that, still have the same gears
You are definitely not paying Steve enough, can't afford to get a haircut, or a hair net to protect his long locks.😆😆😆😆😆😆
Did you mention anything about the rear end gear ratio? Or did I just miss it?
We didn’t mention it
Yo all of the nay sayers, which is better a truck that you cant use and just sits or a truck that is usable and gets driven? Im sure a lot if people have visions of a welder up style build. Im absolutely sure iron trap build will encompass the best of both worlds, vintage look and modern driveability. Lgcustoms did a swap that embraces those ideas and is super cool. Cant wait to see more
About time you slackers, HAHA joke. Be cool having it painted with pin stripe with irontrap on it.
Oops a shower of antifreeze on Steve, not good but that's the it was back then. A good toggle open will be better. Hope you are okay Steve. Nice job guys.
Dude!!! Does it have a 2spd rear end??? Plus 60 mpd with bias ply tires with a straight axle!!! ✌️
My Dad's old wrecker was a '47 Chevy 2 ton. It was a flatbed that belonged to a lumber company. When he converted it to a wrecker back in the day, he replaced the 261 Chevy six with an inline GMC 302 six and swapped a 2spd axle under it. Then custom built the wrecker bed. Before he passed away (much too young), he had plans to put a 351 GMC V-6 in it, that never came to fruition.
Cummins are LONGER THAN V8 BY MUCH , NEEDS COOLING PAK SPACE TOO....HMM
A Ford deserves an International DT360. You lost a lot of cool points here.
Show up with a reliable one for cheap and it’ll happen
I'm sorry, but this truck has been a money pit since day one. I can't do anything more than they can do with the trailers they have now..
Why, won't go any faster or have really any more power, I thought you were a old car guy
You’re wrong.
