- On this episode I start on getting the cab ready for media blasting and epoxy. I start filling holes and keep finding more and more and more! Ended up taking quite a while to complete so I decided to cut the cab prep to 2 videos. I hope you enjoy!

I think the all gray would be good looking. With the polished grill.
It will be nice no matter how you decide to do it!
Keep up the good work 👌🏼
Thanks!
I think that color combo will look fantastic Matt 😁👍 Especially if you do the forestry stickers too. Happy wrenching 🔧🔩
Great job Matt as usual ..don't ever lose focus on doing things right like you do .. man it's looking great thanks for the knowledge your teaching people the details of everything always.. can't wait for all your outcomes on these trucks..keep them videos coming!!
Thank you!
Great work Matt. Thanks for sharing your builds, I enjoy them! A Forest service crew cab would be cool to see but either way you have pretty good taste. Keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Didn’t. Realize. Crew cab. Love. This. Year. Ford
love it matt.
Gonna be a sweet truck when you finish
Thanks!
Hey Matt, I appreciate the body patching tips. I don't think a tribute truck will add value to the build. I would just go the original gray. Maybe someday you could do a 300ci straight 6.
I think a “battleship grey” would be cool, since it was originally grey and that color has became pretty popular in last couple years.
I think you confuse "battleship grey" with primer. And "grey" is not a "color".
@@deeremeyer1749 Grey (more common in Commonwealth English) or gray (more common in American English) is an intermediate color between black and white.
I would like to see a closer look at the electric steering conversion and review. would you use it again?
I will in the future. This truck won’t be getting one but next one I do I’ll be going over it more.
Making good progress, love the interior color on the ultimate Crew cab
Thanks!
Can you do a video on rear drum brakes. Take-off old put new ones on
I’m thinking of doing my 76 High Boy in the green like they had on the Minnesota DNR trucks so I’m intrigued about your possible Forest Service paint scheme.
What gage metal do you use for your patches and what type welder do you use?
Thanks for another informative video.
The plugs are 18 gauge and the welder is a Lincoln 350MP but that’s way overkill for this kind of work. It’s just what we have in the shop.
Another great video Matt. Always enjoy your updates. Do you have a video talking about the differences between a bumpside Highboy and a bumpside four wheel drive F150 or F100? Just curious what the most common differences are. I recently bought a 68 Highboy but I’m suspicious of a few things on it that makes me think at least there may have been a body swap done. Also the radiator mount isn’t like what you’ve shown. It’s the flat mount. The door tags were reissued in Colorado too. So I’ve gotta check the vin on the frame. Anyway if you can offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t have a video going over an f-100 4wd but the short of it is it’s a married dana 20 transfer case with coil springs up front with a open knuckle 44 front axle. If it has a reissued vin it’s likely a body swap but that’s ok. Since it has a reissued vin it’s all legal. If you wanted to you could find the vin on the frame that would tell you more info. You can decode the vin on www.fordification.com hope this helps!
Thanks so much for the reply Matt. Keep up the great work!
Navy was gray
That was my hunch but seems to light for the color they used. Could be wrong though.
@@MattKubik1791 Thanks for all your videos. I own a 1969 F-350 Crewcab. Second owners. My dad bought it in 1972 when I was 14. I’m doing a semi restoration so I appreciate you opening stuff up I couldn’t see anywhere else. My biggest lack of resource knowledge is anything related to the rear doors or interior.
Where do you get the small sheet metal discs you use for patching the larger round holes? I’ve got about 30 of them to patch on my rig following the removal of the factory fender flares that left holes from the clips.
The kit came from eastwood.com
Thanks. I’ve seen that kit. Any recommendations on rust protection following a patch in a difficult to reach inside corner?
@@brycewilliam1984 I’ve used Eastwood internal Frame coating I’m hard to reach places. It comes with a hose to stick in places and spray
Great, thanks! I’ll check it out
I see where you are coming from on the Forestry color.........but for resale, it might hurt the value a bit....just my thoughts
I’ve had a ton of comments liking the FS theme so I’m hopeful! Guess we will find out ether way.
@@MattKubik1791 True enough..........I know it will look good no matter what.....
Color: Not USAF, as they used Strata Blue exclusively on civilian purchase "soft skin" vehicles. More tempted to think Navy gray. Otherwise, probably a general GSA order for a misc. agency.
Uh..."fabbing" anything the cab ultimately connects to without the cab installed is asking for more trouble than doing so with no engine. There's a lot more to "fabbing" a steering gear install than just making sure the engine doesn't hit it. In fact if the engine is anywhere "near" it you're going to have problems.
And you may know this already but divorced t-cases in Fords were always "flex mounted" and not rigidly bolted to anything. I don't think Ford ever installed them behind automatics either. And maybe not fixed yoke manuals. Do not plan on "threading" the front driveshaft through any tight spaces and do not "perfectly" align the T-case input and trans output. U-joints MUST have some angularity at least intermittently to prevent needle brinneling of the crosses and premature failure. That requires the cups to "turn" on the crosses and that only happens with angularity.
