I've been a professional mechanic for 10 years and I've always fought the brake cable clips with pliers, the trick you used with the wrench was so easy and made me mad at my self for not thinking of it, haha. Nice work man keep it up

[davecoley]

‘79 Ford Trucks are by far my favorite body style of any truck ever made.

[boronin]

Finally i find a video of someone actually doing work and not yapping and trying to be a comedian.

[Nancoman]

You picked a great truck to restore! I'm wishing I had the talent, space, and money to pull something like this off. Thanks for sharing!

[bigdan_]

This truck came out looking incredible. I loved this era of the Ford pickups. My father had a couple of the 70's and 80's F-series pickups when I was growing up and they always served him well. This one looks great in white. Not a lot of trucks can pull that off.

[jeromefrady]

Love these old Ford trucks, there's not a better looking truck ever built. You did an amazing job.

[dukeofearl]

I bet that kid will be a top notch mechanic by the time he is 15.

[Mike-xtot]

Seeing the wife and kids help and encouragement with your build was a blessing. You had the best part of your build long before you ever purchased the truck. Amazing work ethic and talent. The results are absolutely fantastic.

I want to do this with an 89 Ford Ranger I bought for my Dad. It was the last conversation I had with him before he passed unexpectedly two years ago. I have none of the skills, but I will learn. I appreciate channels like yours that will teach me in time, even if it takes the rest of my life.

[niknik]

That was genius. The whole rebuilt and the shooting/editting. Alot of respect.

[paulbelanger]

Why isn't your channel called, " The Amazing Papa Show"?? That would be amazing. 😅👍

[johnwilcox]

That dent work was pretty freakin amazing.

[axlejam]

I thought this was going to be a weekend warrior project, I was wrong. You’re a professional. Great video.

[Robert]

Anyone who can and does this to an old Ford Dentside is a good man. Lots of hard work, hours and money invested. Your little boy will enjoy this beast after you pass it down to him.

[jesuschrist]

i bought a 1979 ford f 250 from my neighbor, hes an old farmer (not too old lol) and it sat in his farm for about 10 years and i asked if he would let me fire her up for shits n giggles, i threw some starting fluid in it and she roared like a lion back to life. has the old inline 6 the engine that never dies. i ended up working and paying for it last summer, fixed it up and put love into it. great truck. i love fords and their older models. great video man

[johnDingoFoxVelocity]

I have to say what a wonderful job and such a nice restoration you kept it simple upgrading and repairing what you needed without taking away from the trucks design nice job

[thunderpants]

Awesome build, real, not like gasmonkey etc where new parts are just thrown together. Takes a lot of skill to take it totally apart like that. Kudos to you, hope folk folk to you for a build.

[NomadsBoyTv]

I envy your talent, that was amazing. The truck looks beautiful and I am so glad you went with a 460.

[AustinCoulson]

I have received a bunch of questions on this video and almost all of them are answered in detail in the individual episodes. There are links to those in the description, but for those of you that don't have the time or desire to watch those, here are the answers to the most common questions;

Q: Why did you do all that body work and not repaint it!?
A: Because the owner and I appreciate trucks that have the original paint, and he uses this truck as a truck so it is bound to get little scratches. Also, it would have increase the cost by around 10k

Q: How long did this take?
A: 275hrs of labor over 4 months

Q: How much did it cost and is it for sale?

Q: How did you learn to do this?
A: Lots of trial and error (mostly error) when I was young. I learned better techniques and how to read technical manuals in the Army as a helicopter mechanic, and last but not least, YouTube

Q: How did you become so awesome?
A: Awesomeness is passed down from the Mother. Don't believe me, look at my Sister's cookie or look at my wife wet sanding the bed, then see how proficient my Son is at engine building.

Thank you all so much for the support on this build, if you have any more questions just write them in the comments!

My Dad purchased his '79 Ford Super Cab in bright orange from the factory back in 79, then gave it to my brother as his daily driver in high school. He still has it to this day and takes special care of it. It is always been garaged and has very few miles on it. It is 90% original from factory. Man does this truck bring back memories. I love taking it for a drive every time I visit home! we used to go camping in it. my dad built in a little fold up table in the back cab for me and my brother to use to play card games as we travelled. Nice work on the resto mod. Thank you for not going too crazy with it. Love what you did.
