Z Ack I concur. I was following your build for a good while there pogi as I'm looking to stretch my 7.3 dually and I am quite delighted for you sharing your build here along with its history, but also pained to hear of your loss. My condolences and blessings both!

I'm not sure they are willing to pay for two years of evenings and weekends. Thats a LOT of shop time, and a lot of basic consumables. Skill wise its a body shop techniction, so average annual salary in USA is $51k usd, then you have workshop rent, utilities, equipment, cost of capital.... even doing it full time with the oldest kid helping outside of school to making one every month (which would likely saturate the market really quick) you'd need to charge like $30k+ on top of the already perfect donor truck.
@@SheepInACart I think the ideal way would be to scour auctions and/or water damage trucks (freshwater prefferably) as you pretty much have to do a complete teardown to do the inside bodywork. From there sell all the parts you don't need and buy crate motors (I'm not a diesel guy so idk if cummins has crate motors) toss them in and boom. I'd say as a business You'd need 4 guys on top of yourself and a 3 bay shop would be great (a lift would be a great thing to have but not required) As for market saturation over the continental united states 12 a year wouldn't be harmful until the first 1000 as an estimate. Tools and shop space would be the big expenses, though.
Hey my my brother Matt was doing this exact build on almost the exact same truck when he passed away almost 10 years ago. I know his buddies he was working on it with kept it. You said someone had already started this project, did this truck ever come from Missouri?
Awesome build, whats even more awesome is he did this with his brother and kids. Not only does he get a truck out of it, but hes got so many valuable memories. For him and the kids. Sorry to hear his brother passed away.
Rich, it's been so cool to see you reviewing local projects I've seen around town. It's great to know the story behind that awesome custom truck! You need to pass through Utah again and do a meet up!
Damn, that is badass, all the way around, a badass truck, I am for the most part, a GM guy, but love that era of super duty's, and the 6.0 is and can be a great powerplant
@@jacobmoses3712 No, he replaced the original oil cooler.........not fixed. He said it is already acting up. The remote air to air cooler and remote filter is the way to go, but is expensive at $2500 for the parts. I agree it is a nice truck, I borrow a fully bulletproofed 6.0 f350 dually for towing right now, but will buy a 2500 duramax next year. As nice as those fords can be, there are too many drawbacks for the price of doing a nice engine/trans build on a clean truck, not to mention the age.
There is an orange F350 here in Thunder Bay with 6 doors. Its been around for 7~8 years. Guy owns a construction company, hauls his workers around; and in winter, its a sled hauler.
I'm planning on doing the same with my '95. I sure hope I can do as nice of job that you guys did. Looks awesome. I only have five kids but when we had the 4th one, I told the Mrs. that I was going to add 2 more doors to it. I also have that, "If they can do it; why can't I attitude." Thanks for sharing.
Truly amazing. I've never understood why none of the factory 3 row of seats SUV's have a rear door like this, or for that matter any location adjustment (ie legroom vs cargo room tradeoff)... even a half door like an extended cab uses would make the 3rd row far less of a lemon than it normally is.
@@imchris5000 Only we don't see such doors in older designs before rollover considerations either, and while it could be well be a factor today, many SUV's have opening (hence granting no structure in a crash) glass sunroof's that span all the way between two front rows, and there are still 4 door convertibles on sale. Hence the compromise of adding more weight in reinforcing to have the same crash performance and stiffness from large body voids seems to already be being made for what I consider a MUCH less practical reasons. Hence while a pillar-less design would be totally ruled out, I'm still surprised we don't see any brand opt for practical additions of weight over luxuries items.. because heated and cooled thrid row seats with no legroom or easy access like at least two of the current market options feature seems a very very weird compromise to me.
Need to see about grafting an Excursion headliner in there. Then utilize the dual A/C ductwork. Sweet ride. I am really sorry about your brother. I feel your pain as my brother is currently having chemotherapy for lymphoma.
It would still have to sectioned. I've built both six door Ford pickups and excursions. You always need two headliners. The rear window of the excursion is too differently shaped to match the 3rd door. The coolest one we made was a 6 door excursion 450 dually.
6 kids? Seems you forgot the 32nd rule of marriage. Never have more kids than you can haul around. You solved it with the 37th rule of marriage. Marry a woman who actually likes your solutions to failure to follow rule number 32.
The Executioner Not necessarily. I used to have a girl with seven kids I’d use as a booty call when I was bored. She was as tight as some women with only one kid. She was a total freak and would sometimes invite her girlfriend to join.
I remember back in the early 90s going to America and saw in a car park, an extended truck, it was so long it took two parking bays and that memory of this amazing truck has stayed with me ever since. This truck is amazing and such amazing story with a sad twist.
You have to admire the guy. Anybody that could make a Ford actually run and do all the rebuild is brilliant guys that have a reliable cummins diesel do not have the privilege of all the challenges
I have same issue, too many kids lol. Was planning on making a gmt400 5 door but health has slowed me down last couple years and seems to keep getting pushed off. One day that pile a parts in the yard will get put together.
theres a guy here in southeastern WI, that has an 08-10 super duty thats also a 6 door but has a 10ft bed, guy needs a special licences to drive it and its awesome
we have a 6 door ford exscurtion and 11 kids for reel love that truck and that blue keep up the great videos!!!but that 6 door truck is like 2' longer and so dang cool bro they are so fun to build!!
There was a family in Sask that took their chevy down to Custom autos by Tim to get it stretched. I believe CAT is in Colorado. When they came back, the frame had been modified so the customs guys wouldnt let it back into the country. Eventually it had sat there for a year and the Premier had to finally step in and order it to be allowed into Canada.
Nice looking build. Only a little longer than my F350 Crew Cab long box. Would have looked cool to tack on a SuperCab at the end. The 6.0 is a great engine if you treat it right.
I'm a Ford truck lover, this one it absolutely the pinnacle of a crew cab, too cool! I didn't catch if this was an aluminum cab and bed or is it steel?

Therapist: Ford F550 Doesn't exist. it cant hurt you
Ford F550:
Older Dodges '71-'93 are like this. People were grafting the extended cab backs onto crew cabs because it was very easy.
GM Kodiak/Topkick were the same way too.
Never thought I'd like a ford video.... 6 doors and the 6.0? Your brave
Right before the burnout a State Farm Drive Safe commercial came on... HA!
I live a ways off but I have an 01 Tacoma with a 5.9 24v almost ready to drive all that is needed is a front drive shaft.
Awesome. I'd fully support that. Even better it has a 6.0.
6 kids will make you do crazy things and this truck is way cooler than an old hearse!
Ahh love me a good ole 6.0
Ohhh that lift kit is great changing oil would be soooo easy.
Seen this irl, it's bigger than it looks in video... nearly drove right over my geo metro ;D
Wow best ford ever.
just so you know even body men hate body work lol
