Man am I glad I stumbled across your channel!
Welcome aboard!
Fantastic video Matt! Always great content and so helpful to all of us DIY guys. Thanks!
Thank you!
Beast of a cross member
Thanks for producing this content, it is helpful and entertaining. I love seeing these trucks being put back on the road. I've been working on my 71 F250 and love driving it. I have been sourcing/stockpiling parts for the last 2 years to install and get it to a daily driver point. So now, the parts cannon is loaded and am hoping to have the barn cleaned out by Jan to be able pull mine inside and blow it apart. New wiring harness, rally pac, adjust some 2wd body issues to a 4wd config, and lots of other goodies to install.
I ordered the 2' Skyjacker suspension for mine as most of the springs are in bad shape. I could have them re-worked, but wanted the extra height as I have a new set of US 101's (they are 5 slot mag /reproductions/knockoffs but in a 17 ) to install. I like that look but didn't want the headache of sourcing 16.5 tires. I ordered my suspension about 2 yrs ago and had the same issue, took mine about 3 months to actually arrive.
Merry Christmas Matt, thanks again.
Sounds like an awesome project! Thanks
Very nice Matt. Thanks.
Thanks!
Looking good Matt
Thanks!
On the power steering,
I did a 2007 F350 super duty power steering box. It worked well on my 78 Supercab with the 12 valve Cummins and Super Duty axles. With the cross over steering it would work I think. It really fit in nice, low on the frame and right in line with the axle. I have a video here on You Tube building the plate and getting it all in line. I think it has how far you come back to fit everything as well. It is kinda low and away from the motor. The Godzilla needs room to fit the fire breathing beast!
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
@@MattKubik1791I even think the steering slip shaft is the same spline as the 78
Sweet channel, new subscriber👍 Hoping to start building my 77 crew cab f600 soon.
Damm Hey that’s my truck dude really nice man I’d love to have that my age 56 years old
You are building my dream truck my friend. Had a new 77 hi boy in 78 but hard times hit and had to let it go. Been my dream to find another in decent condition or build one but I am 65 now and running out of time. Best of luck with yours!
This was a cool video. I always wanted to try and do this. In my area you can find really nice 2wds but a lot of the 4wds are worked hard. Great video Matt! Your videos are always so helpful. Thanks, Matt!
Thanks!
Thanks Matt!!
You bet!
Awesome job Matt! 😁👍 Truck is looking great my friend. Oh the woes of shipping anything now days!! 😖
You got that right! Thanks buddy.
If the spring co. does not give you a date when they will make sure you get your other spring on that date / if not send the one spring back / and get a new spring co. and make sure you will get them on a due date / because people like to jerk people off now a days / service has gone out the door / good luck your a nice guy but now a days a nice guy is a sing of weakness and that is b/s never tell a wrench to take there time getting your ride done it will take forever before you get it / good luck and may GOD BLESS you and yours
Well it’s after the fact but I’ve seen guys use a semi truck rear axle shim trimmed to fit in the space on the front cross member. It seemed to work perfectly .
Great video, very informative. Thank you.
Thanks! That’s a good idea I’ll have to remember that next time.
Hey Matt, just want to thank you and other LEGIT old truck enthusiast and builders keeping all these classic old trucks legit and pure and or period correct to the era they come from. Where did you get those 17x8 steel wheels on your previous build
Hey thanks! I got them from my buddy Moe at Tires to Go in Arizona
I love watching these videos, its awesome that these trucks are being put back on the road! I have a quick question, its not really related to 4x4. I have a 1968 f100, it has drums front and rear, I want to do a disc brake conversion for the front, what would be the best way to do the conversion?
Thanks! I would get a disk brake conversion kit, I think there are several out there. I’ve never personally done it.
Merry Christmas/ Happy new year to all
Where did you get the front spring mounts?
Crossmember came from vintage truck and 4x4 and the spring brackets are some I had that I cut up to make work.
Can you go over adding the uniben to the Dana 60 is there a kit available for. And do you sell the trucks when you're done with them or you keep, I've been looking for a while for crewcab
Hey Matt how did you determine the rear shackle location in the frame for the bushing? Did you measure off a highboy or use calculations?
If it was measurements would you mind sharing reference points and numbers?
Love the channel!
I measured off a highboy going off the front mount. It was 53.5” front the bolt to the center of the hole on the rear mount. And measuring off other reference points on the frame to check my measurements.
👍🇺🇸
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t a 67 a pain in the ass because the cab and doors don’t line up with everything that’s 68-72 ? Even though same body lines?
I have not experienced that on a 67 or 68-72. 67 are more of a pain because they have so many one year only parts it’s sometimes hard to find replacements in good condition.
The doors are different but a 67 door will fit in any bumpside. And the cabs are the same there just small interior parts like the heat controls and rear view mirror bracket that are different
@@MattKubik1791 if you slap a 67 door on any other year cab you will end up with a gab in the front top corner
First comment! ha ha. Great video!
Thanks!
