I WOULD IN A HEART BEAT IF ONLY CONVERTED INTO ALL E.V. MODE 4X4 & EVERY THING........ & THEN I REALLY PONDER WHAT THE FULL COST WOULD BE IN ALL HONESTY..... EVEN IF IT'S ANY 4X4 TRUCK BODY...........
Marc B no way. It’s not worth that. They have the donor truck, that’s brakes , fuel, suspension, everything. They do cosmetics and attach the body . You supply both trucks it has to be less
The USAF had hundreds of these rides when I was serving in the mid 1970's and they were called "6-Packs" well for obvious reasons. Most of the ones I was familiar with in the military all had slant 6's under the hood too with their standard transmission on the floor and as such were...underpowered compared to today's trucks. The reason they were known as a "6-Pack" had more to do with number of people that could sit in a seat and safely ride in the vehicle then the number of cylinders under the hood. They were very utilitarian and there were ZERO luxury items installed by the factory in those trucks which were as bare bones as a vehicle bound for military service that you could imagine.
I think ICON has struck a chord that we didn't know existed - but now can't live without. I hope some other companies pick up this trend, and we can see even more projects.
The attention to detail, engineering prowess and craftsmanship are second to none! Just perfection. It's a shame these will only ever be available to the super-rich, though. Not saying it's not worth the money, just lamenting my inability to ever see one of these in my driveway!! You truly have some fantastic builds!! Thanks for sharing them!
We had one of those. Single cab with the V-8 318 it was a Navy blue surplus Truck. It didn't have much of a top end. But WOW WOULD IT PULL. They were Very Sturdy Trucks. Positive Track Rear 2 wheel drive. Brought back memories THANKS FOR POSTING
I love what you guys did with this truck. The idea of taking a classic truck and applying new technology to pretty much everything aside from the body itself has always appealed to me. Given the funds and opportunity, I would love to do this to a 1970s j10 jeep, or an 80s ram-charger.. Keep up the excellent work. The ideas and ingenuity of this type of work will no doubt continue to inspire others like myself to come up with great builds like this.
I love watching these over and over. It's 2019 and I'll probably keep watching these until I'm a hundred years old. Jonathan Ward has done some brilliant design work and it is very satisfying to get the in depth look we get in these videos
Great video, great vehicle. I am in Australia and have a locally designed and built Dodge pickup called a D5N, and this video has so many thought provoking ideas. Thank you Mr Ward.
I was a little kid in the 60s and a bigger kid in the 70s. My Dad was career Air Force. The government owned tons of these things and they were Rocks!. That said I don't know why the Big three (at least Ford and Dodge) didn't snap to the gold mine they had in these trucks. Way up into the late 90s people still hadn't found the beauty of a "Six Pack". What a shame they missed out. Anyway, water under the bridge. This is a really nice example of one of these old "Battle Wagons", and a nice video as well.
Jonathan, you and the ICON team are seriously killing it with these projects. This is my new favorite Reformer project. Your video presentation is much appreciated. I think we'd all love to have a tour of your home; "over here we have the Teflon impregnated titanium countertop with optional radiant heat, complete with Siemens PLC linked via dual type-K thermocouples".
I love old Dodge pickups. The D200s are my favorites after the Sweptsides. Icons are over-built with incredible quality. I respect that, and it's a niche that has been pretty much ignored in favor of making customs built to a price point. Keep it up Mr. Ward, maybe other builders will follow your lead, but you will always be the originator of these beautiful builds.
My dad had the same red-lead colored truck with a 4spd, 4x4 with a Perkins diesel in it..I remember as child going to the auto parts store and him buying heavy pleather replacement seat covers.. when in that day all pretty much had bench seats in them..just a heater and a AM radio and the smell of cigarettes and spilled coffee..
I really like the all the work that you do. It seems to be more practical to utilize the modern vehicle and swap bodies to bring new life to a cool body style. I especially like how you've transformed your DeSoto! Thanks for posting these.
That is wonderful...old is new, generational build looks so in tune with what is being driven these days. Who knew we'd be driving trucks like cars these days..Just need them to make the parking spaces bigger again. Love to see that in old Navy colour, blue/grey matte finish.
these two trucks you have built , by far are my two favorite car builds on planet earth. I get it , I understand every bit of it. I rescued one of these crew cabs out of the woods . The one i saved was an old air force unit. I am doing what I can to save it. My only hope it to get it road worthy again. so that many people can see this piece of rolling history
I simply love these projects, and the people making them possible. Wish i was a part of the team. :) Keep the fun rolling, sir! Hats off! Good day to y'all!
I love it! The other day I was thinking of the white one you built a few years ago and thinking how I'd love to own one of these beauties :) Green ones sweet but gotta say the white one was gorgeous!
I've followed your amazing work for years and I love it! I wonder if you'll ever do that AMG G-wagon. This is the classic that will sell well beyond both our lifetime. I believe this to be true in LA as well as worldwide.
This is 1 tough and very sturdy looking truck,the first time i saw this was in a 1994 movie called the getaway starring Alec Baldwin and Kim Bissinger at the ending they had asked that oldman to give them a ride to Mexico and they give him $40,000 for the old truck and for him to keep quiet,the truck in the movie was this same color but really old and banged up,but this here is beyond beautiful
Incredible work and detail breathing new life into these old classics that have bucket loads of character not like the unremarkable cars we have today . As I'm from London the only 2 British cars I would deem worthy of the "icon" magic would be a MK2 jaguar or a rover p5 coupe . Great work sir
I had a 67 crew cab, slant 6.granny 4 speed. step-side with the larger back glass, and the fuel tank behind the back seat, original wood planks for the bed deck. with one 5x7 speaker i the dash. loved that truck. if I ever hit it rich ill have yall build me one
God I love your projects. It's all the subtle details and classic look combined with modern functionality.
Please keep doing what you're doing.
words cannot express how badly I want one of these.
woopderson You used ten, ten words.
probably $200 to $300k build.
I WOULD IN A HEART BEAT IF ONLY CONVERTED INTO ALL E.V. MODE 4X4 & EVERY THING........ & THEN I REALLY PONDER WHAT THE FULL COST WOULD BE IN ALL HONESTY..... EVEN IF IT'S ANY 4X4 TRUCK BODY...........

woopderson I couldn’t have said that better myself, because as you said, “words can’t describe”
“In the end I think it’s worth doing” I’m just glad SOMEONE is doing it!!!
Man I love these old crew cabs! I owned one for years overseas, 6 banger 225 with 4WD purchased and sold for under 2K. great build!

I love old crew cab trucks
I WONDER NOW READING THIS COMMENT...... I WONDER IF THEY DID OR WILL DO A 2000 OR NEWER 4X4 TRUCK BODY LIKE THE 2004 CHEVY Silverado.........????????
Jamie Round I’m sure they will do what ever you want built with a hefty down payment
MY GOD I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT....WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK ...❤ THEM DODGE TRUCKS. WOW
BEAUTIFUL!!! I want one. Beautiful old school look and modern under side. What a truck!
We had one of those. Single cab with the V-8 318 it was a Navy blue surplus Truck. It didn't have much of a top end. But WOW WOULD IT PULL.
They were Very Sturdy Trucks.

The shape of those side windows is something I can't unsee.... but still.. what an incredibly beautiful truck. WOW

I just bought a d200 and i am going to convert it to a 12v power wagon, i am going to keep the old rusty paint on it though
Fantastic build.....
I love your approach to this project. I'll have to keep these ideas in mind for my projects.
This is my dream truck. After watching fire in the sky as a kid I always wanted one.
Idk how much more I can handle of these amazing vehicles without getting a CAR MORTGAGE
Great video, great vehicle. I am in Australia and have a locally designed and built Dodge pickup called a D5N, and this video has so many thought provoking ideas. Thank you Mr Ward.
Love these videos. I love how you show so much details.
This is what you call a Job very very well done!!!!

Always amazed with your attention to detail and quality workmanship...Top job as always!!
The 60’s-80’s Dodges were hands down the prettiest of the big three.
I've been watching a lot of your videos...this truck and that Hudson stand out in my opinion as ...masterpiece caliber. They inspire.
I love old Dodge pickups. The D200s are my favorites after the Sweptsides. Icons are over-built with incredible quality.

That’s a gorgeous truck.
Had to watch it again, as it’s a classic!
I'm sure everyone who works for you said, "Uh, yeah - the hat looks great!"
He's a gay man expressing himself how he wants, you homophobic piece of shit.
I don't even know if he is gay but the money this guy has I really don't think he gives a fuck about what any of us think about his hat
One of my favorites that you've done.
Another masterpiece!
looks awesome - Rolling and fully functional art
excellent work as always and great communication regarding the build!
Really nice build, thanks for sharing.
My dad had the same red-lead colored truck with a 4spd, 4x4 with a Perkins diesel in it..I remember as child going to the auto parts store and him buying heavy pleather replacement seat covers.. when in that day all pretty much had bench seats in them..just a heater and a AM radio and the smell of cigarettes and spilled coffee..
What a way to make a crazy, ridiculous request into something cool - that etched glass is awesome! Great idea
Wow....very clean...unique work! Love this truck.
Well thought out and wonderful craftsmanship as usual.
Wonderful, wonderful, piece of US truck history made to live again, but to such a high standard of work, outstanding!
amazing builds! love ur work
Really, really love your work!
I really like the all the work that you do. It seems to be more practical to utilize the modern vehicle and swap bodies to bring new life to a cool body style. I especially like how you've transformed your DeSoto! Thanks for posting these.
Really cool to hear all the details that go in to these trucks.
Really great looking truck.

A artist, it’s a work of art and a industrial beauty!
this is absolutely unbelievable
Love your show and i really enjoy how you conduct yourself
Flawless, not one thing I would change.
Another exceptional vehicle.
Thanks for sharing and a great job and a lot of good information on the build.
Simply No one does it better. Nice video Jonathan, thanks!
I simply love these projects, and the people making them possible. Wish i was a part of the team. :)
Keep the fun rolling, sir!
Hats off!
Good day to y'all!
Whats cool about this build is it truly is a "Dodge" truck even in its rebuilt configuration. Neat.
i am so crazy for this trucK, i love it!!!
Fantastic. my dad bought an old 67 air force power wagon. Got me wishin we woulda kept it now.
Y'all do beautiful work
I'd love one of these for damn sure!
3 on the tree baby! That's a sweet rig man!
UNCLEDOUG HERE I A'M A DODGE JUNKIE AND I LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH THE TRUCK !!! LOVE THE BUILD !!
Very cool. The more I see the color, the more I like it.
I love it! The other day I was thinking of the white one you built a few years ago and thinking how I'd love to own one of these beauties :) Green ones sweet but gotta say the white one was gorgeous!
This is just unbelievably outstanding
A revisit worth the time
A truck by Icon is more a statement of wealth than the mansion you'd pull up to.
Great job, incredible
Another great build, thanks
Met you in Round Top Texas, you’re still my Derelect hero!
I'm such a fan of your works! hopefully someday I can have my own vehicle made by your company :D specially this vehicle
Worth doing, indeed. Outstanding.
Love that truck! Nice job!
As usual, love the ole Dodge!
I've followed your amazing work for years and I love it! I wonder if you'll ever do that AMG G-wagon. This is the classic that will sell well beyond both our lifetime. I believe this to be true in LA as well as worldwide.
It is worth doing! You're my hero!
Old crew cab trucks are back in style, the snowboard rack isn’t necessary ✌🏽
This is 1 tough and very sturdy looking truck,the first time i saw this was in a 1994 movie called the getaway starring Alec Baldwin and Kim Bissinger at the ending they had asked that oldman to give them a ride to Mexico and they give him $40,000 for the old truck and for him to keep quiet,the truck in the movie was this same color but really old and banged up,but this here is beyond beautiful
absolutely outstanding
Awesome rig! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
These are so lovely.
Absolutely perfect. I have a 2016 ram 3500 I’d love to do this to.
Beautiful! I recognize those LED tail lights! OROs. Got um on my Jeep. ;-)
I love all your work
Oh man why are you so enjoyable to watch. Maybe it's that cool water bottle hahah.
Subbed. Great job!
Awesome machines.
I love this truck Dodge pickups from this body era are so cool
love the Soundman slider ipad mini in the dash it looks and fits well
Outstanding as usual.
Incredible work and detail breathing new life into these old classics that have bucket loads of character not like the unremarkable cars we have today . As I'm from London the only 2 British cars I would deem worthy of the "icon" magic would be a MK2 jaguar or a rover p5 coupe .
Great work sir
Love that truck, Good job I don't know why you made a turn from just land cruisers, BUT everything I have seen is "Iconic"
Beautiful truck
I had a 67 crew cab, slant 6.granny 4 speed. step-side with the larger back glass, and the fuel tank behind the back seat, original wood planks for the bed deck. with one 5x7 speaker i the dash. loved that truck. if I ever hit it rich ill have yall build me one
Love the design
Definitely a candidate for a 6bt cummins.What a rig,wow.
Real cool rig
I love your work Jonathan ,you make these vehicles better than the originals by far.The original designers must be impressed as well.
When I hit the lotto, I'm going to open up my own Icon shop
Just beautiful 👌😍 liked & subbed 👍
