  • This is it for the 1976 ford highboy body swap, finishing up the wiring and plumbing, bleeding the brakes, getting it fired up and taking it on its first drive since the start of the project. This was a fun project, and swapping a 2wd body onto the highboy chassis went quite well. Thanks for following along!

    When I heard that engine roar I said, "SOB". You did all of this and it was in a driveway, working under God Awful conditions and came out Shining. I just shake my head and say "Congratulations".Then I remember your just a few years younger than I am. That Youthfulness will make you conquer all your challenges. AWESOME.

      Haha, thank you for the kind words. The way I figure is I can’t always wait on the good weather to get my projects done.

    Getting those body lines right is feat all by itself! I've seen a lot that was hell trying to line up, especially if there was an accident in the truck's life.

      Thanks a lot! I appreciate that! Definitely what I’m going for, kid/family friendly. I’ve used a little bit of music in a few of the videos but not much.

    Great job !. One trick I use is to keep the bottle higher than the wheel cylinder / caliper. it helps keep the trapped air from going back into them. Or a check valve which can do the same job. Hope this may be of help. As always liked and shared. All my best.

    We are finishing up a 67 highway swap project as well. We bought a 67 highway for $250 at our local junkyard. Then got a free 1970 f250 camper special 2 wheel drive. The 70 is really rust free, but the besides were broke out and floppy. Found at decent box for sale in Minnesota. We are doing body work on the box right now.

      Awesome, I literally just posted a new video of another highboy swap that started out as a 70 and we swapped a 2wd 67 body on it.

    Hey I'm a new subscriber. Just found yiur channel. Is this your daily driver? That body swap video was amazing!!

      Thank you very much! The red and grey highboy was for a friend of mine, but it’s not his daily driver. And the black 67 highboy that I just did a few weeks ago was for another friends wife, and I believe she’s been using that one as her daily!

      @@Rustwrangler good luck with your channel and I look forward to learning more mechanics from you. I am a Mopar man myself . I hope you do some Mopar videos again. Them dodge trucks are tough as nails. And they had awesome muscle cars back in the day. I'm 53 years old. I've seen some power house Mopar cars in my day lol
