On this episode I get the chassis together and completely restore the engine to original spec. - Авто та транспорт
I'm impressed with the engine rebuild. Few engine rebuilds have such great paint jobs.
That orange/brown coating on the inside of the trans is Gliptol©, a coating developed by G E for coating the windings on electric motors but also a speed secret for sealing the porous cast iron on engines, including promoting quicker flow back into the pan in hot rod applications. A good idea for it's sealing properties... Very expensive per gallon but it works the best. It's in every engine I build!!!
Matt, your unbelievable expert perfectionist. Hope I get one of your trucks.!!!!!!
Amazing progress Matt, great to see it coming along!
Coming together nicely Matt! 🙂👍 With your attention to detail, It's gunna be nicer than when it rolled off the assembly line. Take care 🔧🔩
Great job so far Matt. Love the space you have and projects on the go in your work shop.
Those Warn locks are beautiful on that axle
Can’t wait to see your truck finished👍
Nice detail work! Great to see the work put into these old fords! I’m working on a 79 f350 restoration but not to the detail of what your doing!
I’ve primarily collected truck parts from 77 on up….don’t have much pre 76 stuff other than a 1970 360 with 70k miles …4x2 trans and all.
Matt,
Just found your channel and I am addicted!
Your videos are confidence inspiring!
I am restoring my bone stock, 63K mile, one owner 1975 highboy, 360FE automatic in NH( not many survived in the Northeast) and am in need of an engine harness for it. Where did you get the new one you added to your engine rebuild/refresh on the 69 Harbor Blue Highboy resto?
Need more content on this truck as well!
Thanks for what you do.
My OCD loves the attention to detail. Very nice! I found and joined the FB group also. Great group.
NEVER KNEW about the longer fan "snout" on the Highboy...my 71 Highboy has the longer fan snout (4-blade) and I have tried without success to install a fan shroud...there's no fan clutch, too. I could install a new radiator with electric fan that comes on when engine gets hot and also manual toggle switch while keeping the factory fan. I did this on a Camper Special and its an awesome system...the electric fan so quiet.
4 blade fan is better less drag better MPG . As you can drive without a fan there only there for in town stop 🛑 lights etc . Also that 5 blade will be louder . Nice Job though keep it up 👍🏻🇦🇺💯Brian Tasmania .
Probably not up to your standards but I’ve been having good luck with Chinese Amazon carbs. I think I paid like 50 bucks for the last one 2 years ago. It still runs fine. A new motor craft couldn’t do any better.
Hello Matt,
Thanks for your awesome videos. They have been an incredible help rebuilding my 1966 F-250 4X4. Could you tell me where I could find new brake likes for the Dana 44HD front axle like you have in this video. They are impossible to find.
Regards,
Jeremy
They are made by Sunsong I think I got them off summit racing.
What kind of paint did you use for transfercase im really impressed good job
looks great. I just bought two more 71/72 bumpside.
Where did you get the valve cover sticker and air cleaner stickers from?
a benchworks power steering mod/conversion would be awesome for this truck, and a lugnut 4x4 rear disc conversion, with a 77 dana 44 disc brake front axle
Looks great it will be a stunner when complete . Just put my 1st videos on yt last week of my dent an bullnose cheers from oz 🇦🇺
The new process cast iron was electro dipped in primer and I believe color varied quite a bit
I got a deal on a NP435 and a Dana 24 (2-speed) transfer case. Having them rebuilt. Water damage in the trans. Had the cases magna-fluxed. New bearing on the Dana...more parts and work on the tranny.
Where did you get your dipstick tube from?
It’s an original. There is a guy building replacements. Vintage truck and 4x4 on eBay.
Where did you get the plug for the 2wd dipstick hole?
It’s an oil gallery plug (like a tiny freeze plug) if I remember right it was just left over from a engine gasket kit. I don’t remember the size.
Thanks
Would like to see you restore a 64 F250 4X4 stepside, I remember my dad had one assigned to him when he worked for the State of Hawaii, it was green, V8 with 4 speed!
Got a link or info on that electric power steering conversion?
Hey Matt. Question on the front suspension. Do you have a source for the frame mounted front leaf spring bushings?
Do you know if there is a way to get a speedo cable with a 1970 Ford on the dashboard end and be able to fit into and np205 on the other end? I think there should be but haven't found an answer online saying yes
Where do you get the Ford Blue engine paint?
It is from Eastwood
That things goin to cost me a mint to buy!!
Looking great!!!! Question where are you getting your new Carbs? my 72 is in need of one. Thank you!!
I bought a whole other truck
@@MattKubik1791 LOL That's one way
Could get two old highboy axles...Dana 44 front & Dana 60 rear...but guy wants $800 for each. Too much. What do you think?
Seems a bit steep. Is the front a closed knuckle or open knuckle? Disc or drum brakes?If you’re going for originality it might be worth it but you could do a super duty axle swap for that kind of money and get heavier duty axles with upgraded brakes and better front suspension.
Do you rebuild transmissions or transfer cases for people?
I do not sorry
@@MattKubik1791 If you ever have an opportunity, I would love for you to post a NP435 rebuild video. There is not one disassembly and rebuild video on UA-cam for the NP435.
What size tires?
255/85r16
@@MattKubik1791 I was also wondering what type of tire are you running on that 69?

A 360 would be a Ford FE.
