just have the shirt say, “while we’re here, might as well!” and put a stick figure shrugging underneath or something. EVERYONE has been down that hole at least once in their lives🤣

I never seen one man so hard on engines that know the limitations on a stock one ***Update*** This Engine is still running

“It’s only 13 bolts and the front end comes off, a quick reseal on the motor and it’s back together again” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

13 bolts, 20 mins 😅

This must be the story of anyone who works on old cars and trucks. "I'm just gonna do the front brakes" to "May as well refresh the rings while I'm in here".

Man that Focus interior is nostalgic for me. It was my first car. Manual everything but it was solid and nothing broke for 70,000 miles till it got t-boned. I know you got it as a "daily" but some SVT mods would be sweet!

He always does mods to his daily’s eventually if they stick around😂

If you can get lucky and find some closed chamber heads it would bump that power up and cure your exhaust flange problem..

Seen on Sleeper dude using a small kids swimming pool for the Radiator drain, worked real slick no mess.

You can get a power steering controller for the Volvo pump, it lets you “tune” the pump so you can get the full pressure from the pump … it runs and works perfectly with just the signal wire hooked up but it runs in default mode, default mode is about 50% power of the pump Hope this helps,the build is dope my dude !!!!

I pulled the NP435 and Dana 20(separately) out of my 1970 F100 during the middle of a Wisconsin winter, by hand, in an unheated garage. Those 4 speeds are no joke, and the Dana 20 wasn't exactly a treat either being a cast case, gear drive transfer.

Buddy of mine had a Chevy that looked just like that dually. Nice to see it

Pulled the 390 out of mine as well for the pan. I was getting low oil pressure and figured the pickup tube was plugged. If I didn’t also have a set of heads for it I would have done it inboard but give. The need for heads in yanked it all. Now it’s getting a dingle ball rebuild.

I run a Volvo PS pump in my bumpside. It’s tucked into the driver side wheel well behind a quarter turn panel. Works like a charm for the Crown Vic rack.

Dude Craig you gotta swipe up a supercharged 4 banger from an SVT and build a sleeper Focus!😂👍

Supercharged focus go brrrrrr

This is going to be amazing!! Crew cab deserves it, such a cool rig!!

That 'while im here' syndrome is real. I went in just to do a body mount and now im doing full floor pans and a firewall. And that Np435 should be sitting right around 120 lbs with the shift tower

What a bunch of killer crew cabs.

I have that exact same power steering set up on my 78’ f-150 with a crown Vic swap! Love it and it works awesome!!

If you're core support is rusty, a dent support swaps right in, just have to drill iirc 7 holes, two for the latch and the rest for the inner fender bolts. I swapped one into my '71 f100

You got it apart you just will put aluminum heads and intake. That’ll fix your exhaust problems.

Great job Craig! Good to see you motivated working with a good group of people around you !

Love this truck! Can't wait to see it going again. Hopefully getting some inspiration for my own rebuild.

You do amazing work and everything gets better and better Craig!! Keep it up man!!

You are a brave soul.Pulling an FE WITH the granny transmission using on the studs that hold the carb on! I dont think that I could

Noice!!! Doin thangs with pains. Love the hustle keep up the good work and great content

Those oil pumps are a great idea! Guess I know what I'm looking for at the junkyard this weekend to score a few for the next project I'm working on...

You should be able to find them on most of the european platform Fords made within the past 15 years or so. So, 2011 or newer Explorer, etc...

I know you like the camper, I do too dude, but this is the perfect opportunity for a patina utility bed, I absolutely love old lifted long utility bed trucks, just think of it towing the bug to the desert and having all your tools in the bed sides ready for when you blow it up again

Keep doing what you’re doing, man love the content😊

The volvo pumps are cool, make sure you get the controller to adjust speeds and pressures

For catching the coolant, I usually clean out an oil drain tray(like the one you have in the background at 18:55) and a transmission drain pan. The thing is so wide that it almost never makes a mess when draining coolant. Then dump the coolant into a 5 gallon bucket and put clean rags over top of it to keep the crap out. That Pittsburgh catch tray looks completely useless splashing coolant all over the floor.

I’m not trying to be that guy….. but I think you know those exhaust flanges need repairing, which means heads coming off. Man…. You are 3/4 of the way to a rebuild or at least a freshen up with rings and bearings. Plus a rv style grind cam could help pulling. You are already there man keep going you’re not that far off.

The Milwaukee saw makes a great wrench!!

While I'm here, today is Saturday and I'm waiting on your next video. Can't wait to hear it fire up next time I'm here

I was waiting for a prostrate joke when you drained the radiator. For your friends Mercury truck they ought to consider putting in a Mercury SB4 engine.

Love the truck content 😎🏴‍☠️

love the guys over at crown automotive.

The crew cab needs some love😊❤️👊👍

The focus you will want to replace the plastic thermostat housing with an aluminum racing one. the plastic ones are very prone to warping and happens on every focus, also kills alot of them

Dave with a Moto XXX shirt.. he’s an OG!

Og know that’s his second focus🤣

Mad man! Love it.

I buy extended brake lines for my builds from Crown Performance, solid company and great service.

I can't believe those bumperettes came off so easy. I've always had to fight with them.

Love your show been watching it since you got your F100 I have a 1973 F100 3 speed on the column

Don't worry your not the only one that pulls apart multiple vehicles at once. I currently have 5 projects on the go... One is supposed to be the tow pig but it needs a transmission so why not convert it to 4wd. And that's not to mention the big long term project I have only collected parts for and the 2 my dad just got.

Great episode!!

great stuff guys thanks

Great video!! More please 🙏🏼

Drain the oil let it sit for a day or so and use a syringe with a tube to suck the rest out spray brake clean in and suck that out or let it evaporate then you should be fine. I've been in your spot and that's what I did it worked great

Maaaaaan this would ruin me it would turn into well while we are here lets... 17:27 respect it man love your way of thinking

Love the shirt idea and the truck vlog is great. Now can we please start on the fox.

Lol what did i just say while we are here lol 34:42 cant wait man

I’ve definitely “might as well-ed” my self out of way more money than I’d like to admit. As I’m sitting here taking a break from putting a new floor in my gym where I might as well-ed a closet and clad the walls with plywood and debating pot lights. 😂😂😂

“Might as well… while we are here…” such a Legendary Phrase!

The focus has a longer wheelbase than the mustang of the same era. You should put a 5.0 in there! Someone made a swap kit for them years ago.

My 65 Galaxie was supposed to be brakes and it’s good to drive. 2 years later, a 390 rebuild, manual swap, rear end rebuild with 4.11’s, all new suspension front and back and new brakes it’s almost ready to drive for the first time

While we are here just put aluminum fe heads and solve problem ? Wished you were on the east coast I could hook you up on core support, inner fenders, hardware. I have rebuilt 4 of the bump side's (68,69,69, 70) Have lots of extra original parts. Cool project.😁👍👍

That cool trucks

Tear it up, Craig 😅😅😅 Truck needs some love

That’s a cool truck !!!

Yes Indeed. MORE Crew cab content

If you do need a engine rebuild I recommend xtrene performence. Full rebuild for around 2k

The ball on the shifter base pushes down and turns so you can remove it.

Love this truck.

While we're in here, might as well... install a 3g alternator and electric fans with a pulsewidth modulated controller for a soft start/ramp up feature.

Ford produced those electric power steering pumps for the Ford C-Max, Focus, and Kuga.

Make the shirt a pic of the crew cab w/ out the front clip saying “while we’re here..” w 909 logo on chest. Would be fire

Should have used flex seal the paste stuff, it works

The CrewCab is my favorite vehicle on the channel

I'll buy the while we're shirt. I use that phrase a lot. 😂

I have thought of using one of those Volvo power steering pumps on my own car. I work at a Volvo specialty shop, we have three or four of those pumps hanging around.... also the S40/V50/C30/C70's are based of a Ford Focus/Mazda 3 chassis.

Bro all i wanna do is take my truck to a meet and meeet qweg and honestly itd be awesome to have him teach me some tips and tricks on my two vehicles, already have learned so much off his content

STROKERRR

Nice! I wish I had enough sense to do good video editing for KZread, I’d post videos of my obs build

My first truck was a 68 bump side swb complete restoration in 96 i totaled it two hours after first drive and the only part of the truck without damage was the tailgate and rear bumper which I still have in the shed. 429 cobra jet with c6 and 373 gears the impact literally busted the engine block. I’ve been trying to find another 68 swb to build my for my last truck and use the two pieces from the original truck.

LOL, right, it's like kissing a toothbrush🪥, try kissing each other to see how it feels. I feel sorry for the girls or guys that have to kiss that bristle brush, and no it does not feel good on the kitty😿. That's a myth. Plus it looks ridiculous. Hopefully you will realize one day, when you are older and more mature.

you got pead on lol by your truck your doing a good job

Time for a fuel injected 460 might as well and stroker . I mean your already there.

“While we’re here” is the epitome of my life

Dang I need that tailgate

Run over to Walmart and get a cheap plastic kiddie pool and use that to drain your coolant into. Josh over at SleeperDude is the one who gave me the idea. I saw someone else had posted it as well.

While you are in there, saw in a 5 gear!!

ya if there's oil on the other side,no matter what it is,you'll never get it welded,same with water tank ,exc.

well that escalated quickly

If it's a 390 rotating assembly "while your there" I would put a set of flat top pistons and a nice cam in it, that's all they need to really wake them up

The crew cab needs the 7.3 Godzilla instead of a coyote or diesel.

What trans and bell housing do you have on it? I’ve been thinking of putting a manual behind my fe and I would love to do it with some cheap original parts

I was wondering how youd do this to an old ford with the volvo pump. If you ever see a single cab bump side in the same color combo as yours in San Diego its probably mine.

I saw that you needed a front sump FE oil pan on your insta, if you still need one, I have one in Rancho Cucamonga for $50. I know that is a little far for you, but thought I'd offer.

Duuuude, Kugel Komponents sells kits to put 5.0s, and 8.8s, into the Ford Focus...
