Very nicely done build. Great looking fab work. Looks to be very functional and fun. Too bad about the LS though. Spent all that money on the rest and tarnished the whole thing with the power plant.

Well he built a purpose built rig and 90% of the rigs out where he goes have that and parts are easier to get. I think it easily could have put a coyote in or something and chose the motor for a reason.

I was a little let down by the LS too. Nothing wrong with it, they're a solid choice, but with the level of everything else, I fully expected to see a Godzilla under the hood.

I had a 73 Ford F250 with my brother. And it was a Beast, the best truck we ever got. It was a workhorse

Love love love the crew cab short bed configuration!!!

Wow, that's impressive!

Awesome!!! Well done 👍🏻

I second that the paint work adds i nice touch.

Personally I would’ve opted for a hemi over a LS but that’s just me, I see the advantage in having the LS tho when everyone around you has them, parts will be easier to source, especially on trail break downs which is huge.

That is a nice truck. There's not another like it.

I pulled over and stopped to air up my rear tires, bags, and dolly tires with my co2 tank when I saw this big beast rolling at me on a trailer. I waved but they didn't notice me. I knew I had seen the truck somewhere before.

Wow! When I saw the thumbnail I wasn’t that turned on, but WOW!

Cool, but I wanted two doors. Let me know if u have it for sale

This build is incredible and so cool, but the whole review felt rushed to me. So much into this truck and so little covered. Off the highway and very basic questions. Should’ve been a slow walk-through. Something like what Leno does.

@@FordEra I'm just hard core Ford. I don't hate chevy, or any other brand for that matter. It just gets under my skin to see Ford's with any other parts on them that aren't Ford. Engines,transmissions,axles,etc. I guess I'm just a purist. But I can appreciate all the good in other brands. Fords aren't perfect by any means, but I will never own any other brand. I get it that some people aren't as brand loyal as I am and that's fine too. I hope the godzilla engine will be put in more of Fords lineup and maybe in the future it will be just as cost effective to choose it instead of the LS. Ford has a history of building so many different engine designs that it makes them more expensive. That's always been my biggest complaint with Ford. Build a great engine and put it in every vehicle in the lineup and flood the market with them and they will be less expensive. Just like GM.

@@daveslocum3270 exactly. No matter if it's a Ford truck or a car. I can't stand seeing a 32 ford hot rod with a gm engine in it. When I see a Ford that looks killer and I see a gm engine under the hood or find out it has other non Ford parts on it, I'll walk away from it. Even the gm style distributor on Ford engines or gm power steering pumps turn me off. Keep it all Ford. That's why I don't have an aftermarket steering column on my 77 f 150. Because the wire harness and steering wheel hub is made to fit the gm. Like I said, I'm hard core Ford.
