Man you can work material! Artisan Thks for sharing. My dad was an artist and he taught me to have an appreciative eye so to speak. Going to the museum of art in ny was one of my deepest and pleasant memories with my dad and mom-both artist. They helped me to understand what you accomplish. Hats off!

Beautiful truck, fantastic craftsmanship...

Liked the video. I know doing a custom is subjective but wasn't a fan of elements of the build. Nice to see people keeping them alive.

Growing up my dad had a 1950 Ford truck just like yours he pulled the old motor out and dropped in a 352 Fe block and that truck was so cool and he made it a flatbed this is back in the 80s I wish he still had it I loved that truck this is the exact build I would do with the coyote if I had one or maybe a Godzilla

May I suggest that you “walk the cup” when TIG welding. It will make the welds look much better. Not that they already don’t.

Nice job. Questions for you. Can a guy still order tailgates and box side for these trucks. And where from if you don't mind me asking. I want to restore one and I hope I can do just as good as job as you did.
