    I see you got the holly retro brights, bit expensive but they look soooooo good! I got modern white 5x7 for my Jeep and honestly thinking of spending the cash on second set for my other one
    Is that modern or classic white with tint on it or is it its own thing on their site, i don't remember seeing that color yellow.
    Cant wait to see more updates on this, get some montage shots of of you fixing all the little things like wipers at some point. also please fix that joint on the steering, love the classic zip tie look but oh my lord haha

    If you want to keep it kinda classic with the truck build i would do a built 460 with holley efi with a zf5 or 6 for the trans. Bw1356 transfer case with the flange output shaft. (Bronco version) just in case you snap the drive line then at least you can drive home in fwd. And dana 60 front axle sitting on at least 35 10.50 16 tires. Oh and keep the bench seats. Or find a roll over 2020 f250 with the 7.3 Godzilla and 10spd trans and 4x4. Either swap the drive terrain to your truck or your truck body on the superduty frame. Either way the seat of the superduty are going in your truck.

  • @TylerDuysen
    @TylerDuysen Рік тому

    if i were you craig id regear it to 3:73 or 3:55 gears youd get way better fuel mileage and id put a 7.3 powerstroke in it along with much newer ford axles (05+) front and rear which gives you way better suspension

    Unfortunately the front fenders are rusted through, the super cab cab corners are rusty and the bed over the wheel wells but it is a factory ordered for a farm truck had a p&h cushion shock back bumper since it was sold new in December of 97, and it has always had its factory ford plastic bed liner so I also wonder how bad the bed floor is?? And the factory tailgate was rusting along the bottom but only had holes in the inside of the bed at the bottom of the tailgate but it was destroyed by forklift at the scrap yard and now it has a 92 ford f250 red and grey tailgate and the bottom of it is rusty and the top center section of the tailgate has a huge dent in it so it looks like it has a big crease in the center of the back of the truck, but that rear bumper ain't going nowhere lol,its exhaust pipe is a 2002 ram 2500 quad cab long bed 4 inch single exhaust and sounds bad ass on the 460bbf

    Unfortunately my momma's green 96 Ford f250 super cab long bed truck is now got quite a bit of rust but it is pretty much a one of one version its a factory 7.3 power stroke diesel that has been swapped out by the car lot we got it from with a fairly low mileage almost brand new 7.5 litre 460 bbf Calypso green metallic and the Hunter green on the bottom and the center wide pinstripe just below the bodyline is also Hunter green and the black and grey dual pinstripes separate the Calypso green and hunter green,, and it is a xl trim truck i believe i always thought it was a xlt its not, but it is a non badged hd or super duty f250 truck apparently that started in 97, and the factory diesel aode 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and the diesel torque converter which is like a 1700rpm stall torque converter lol and the sterling 10.25 3.55 rear gear towing pkg axle assembly..

      But here we are, with car show, junk yard crawl, desert meet junk, muffler and exhaust, tire videos.
      In other words, low to no cost production fluff videos.
      And it shows, by the channel video content.
      It has been MONTHS since he worked on the Galaxie(s) in any meaningful way.
      That is what brought us here.

      That's my bet.
      Engine swaps, chassis swaps, diesel conversions
      like those, takes M O N E Y, time, knowledge, tools and technological know-how which he dosen't appear to have.
      He appears to be running short of money to produce worth while content, by the fluff, low cost video content he is producing.
