Funny how rich guys who purchase these kinds of things don’t seem to hold on to them. They’re always in and out, buying and selling, passing it on for something else new. This is because they didn’t actually do the creative work. If they did they’d cherish it like a teenager with his first truck does after he’s turned every bolt himself. They’d treat it like a family member and never abandon it.

There's a much deeper issue in play... It's called "The Law of Diminishing Returns" the human heart's deepest yearnings can't be satisfied with things. A wealthy gent at the Barrett I chatted with confirmed this truth.He regularly flips anything and everything money can buy every 6 months.

Maybe some people who love cars realize that life is short...we can't take one for a drive in the afterlife now can we? So they do their best to restore, own, drive, appreciate and pass on as many rolling sculptures as possible..besides, they're things..not family, friends or pets..just things to enjoy and pass along.

Love the fact that he knows the majority of us can't afford one of his amazing vehicles yet still thanks us just for sharing the passion for the vehicles. Your a stand up guy Jonathan Ward.

Nicely done. It’s easy to go overboard with these trucks. Love how it’s kept its original appeal.

Looks similar to a F100 my father owned in the early 70s. Beautiful; one of my favorite ICON creations.

You do great work , so creative. Better then most what more could one ask? You’re building exactly what everybody wants! Whether they know it or not. I don’t know why , you haven’t been put on prime time someone that’s not in to cars must have that job.

Another outstanding build. Love these old fords, glad to see them getting the lime light

I'm a Ford fan and especially of the 70's models F-100 and F-150. I learned how to drive in a 1966 F-100 with three on the tree. I also owned a 1975 F-250 that was a workhorse. I love seeing trucks like this restored with some upgrades, but still having the original look! The chrome junior west coast mirrors are a really nice touch. Full on west coast mirrors would be too much for this shorty.

A couple years ago, my dad found a ‘73 F250 Custom for $500. Straight body, no rust. 390 V8. It was my 2 years sobriety present from him. Currently in rebuild mode. It will be fun fixing it up with him. I’m wanting to go with this color combo. Or the boxwood green and white. What do you think?

Gorgeous truck... I do like the interior you put into it better!

Nice build! The black interior seems more stock original looking which I like and I love that steering wheel.

Great yellow Ford truck. Well appointed daily driver with copious built in charm. Thx Jonathan

One of my favorite eras..I had a 71 shorty sport custom with a 240 six and three on the tree on 31x9s..no hot rod or 4x4 but pound per pound fun was off the meter..put 100k on it after I bought it with 60k ..popped in a long block by myself one weekend and drove it to work on Monday...put another 90k on it before it was stolen up in Oregon...this would help erase some of the sting of loss

I grew up in farm country in the Canadian prairies. I love old trucks. I remember this from the original build video. I love resto mod but I really appreciate when they look almost stock. You guys did such an amazing job with this truck. I remember being blown away by the original parchment/white interior. It looked so retro and clean. I can see that there is enough black in the interior that the new colors do look good. Still amazing. Still way out of my reach. But I love watching these videos and seeing gorgeous vehicles so thank you for sharing.

That pickup truck is beautiful and visually perfect.

Nice work Johnathon love what you do!

Thanks for giving this attention. Lots of work done on the suspension. I would like to know more about the drive train- engine, transmission and final drive ratios.

Beautiful truck! A work of art.

If i only had the money I'd have them do this to my 93 1st gen dodge cummins pickup. these guys do incredible work.

So beautiful! Greetings from a fan in Sweden!

First time driving was in my grandfather’s ‘70 F100 long bed farm truck. One of the farm hands needed a pull start on a tractor that had no battery and no one around but me being an eager to help 6 year old. Had to stand to see over the wheel, unfortunately that meant it was hammer down on the skinny pedal. Almost threw the farm hand off the tractor when she bit but we got it started.

Wow the color is perfect what a beautiful truck wow wow wow!!

Absolutely love that truck!!!

Beautiful truck and we’d love to have you move to Texas.

I purchased a 1970 f 100 with a 3 on the tree, 360 engine, 2 wd, rust bucket in 1999 for 50 dollars. I drove it everywhere with a cr 500 in the back. I liked them ever since.

Another true Icon beauty!

What a beautiful truck.

Love it! nice work.

I had a 1969 351 Big Block, here in New Zealand ...great truck ...🙂🙂🙂

When it hit the dirt I some how pictured seeing Charles Bronson in the back ready for action.

Wow, what a beauty!

I had a '76 F100 Custom shorted with two wheel drive, a 300 cu. in. straight six, and three on the tree transmission. No power steering or a/c. It was the funnest truck and was sorry to see it go.

I’d love pulling out the Walmart in a truck like this. Food stamps spent and living the high life in the trailer park

I saw the original video. So 8500 miles later and the truck is for sale. You people with money have a problem.

looks affordable. an everyday build any old joe can do. cheap fun.

Cool truck!

I’m very interested in the seatbelt arrangement. Did you have to strengthen the stock hard point to switch to shoulder belts? I’ve been wanting to do that with my ‘67 for a long time. Where did you source seat belts?

Hydro boost brakes nice touch 👍

Nice color, gotta love baby shit yellow

Love this truck just dont like the !8" wheels i get the logic on the breaks mabey increase the hub cap size ?

This truck has never seen a day of work in its life

Love this truck and would LOVE to have it in my driveway, but $500k is a little out of my price range.

What?? It's Coyote powered ??? That is so sick!!!

I’d love to have these wheels and tires on my old F150! Of course I’d love to have the whole truck, but I’d settle for the wheels 😂

Like the Icon F100 but the stance is a little squirrely. I have 2 1970 F100 and the style is so simple an pleasing. The thing I always gravitate towards is the amount of dead air around the wheelwells on some 4x4's an this body is one that the wheel openings need to be filled up not jack up. BEAUTIFUL TRUCK

I definitely like it, there would only be a couple things that I would change for personal preference. and that is a manual transmission, and a slider in the back glass of the cab. I don't dare want to know what the price is, because I already know that I can't afford it.

Super Kool 70 F100

If I had the money it would be sitting in my garage right now

The 1970 Ford has the best looking grill. 😍😍😍

goddamn that's a nice truck.......

Yes very nice pick-up...

I would take this beautiful truck over any new truck right now. Nothing like cruising in an old school truck, specially a F100 or F150......

Beautiful truck. I'm surprised how close to the centerline the rear coilovers are.

Good luck.

That was my first truck in high school bought it in 78 very good shape it was a 67 short bed 4 wheel dr still my favorite truck of all time sure wish I had kept it 😢

With that price, I believe you won't be making too many more of them. Kind of a shame that these types of restomods will only be enjoyed by the filthy rich. I guess I'm jealous that I don't have surplus cash to own something like that. Having an old pickup I can appreciate what you guys do, I just can't afford it.

I am 100% behind Jon on his decision not to touch up the trim paint. He’s right…where do you stop…especially when it’s a resell that’s racking up cost on icon at this point. But, the real point is, it really does hide its tech…and the little bit of wear and fade goes perfectly with this resell. I’m betting the 8500 miles on it were damn near excruciating for the original owner (who most likely was creeping towards a half million dollar build) to even drive. This second owner won’t have all the ties to the truck the original owner did and won’t be so apt to baby it. Jon himself knows what went into the build so he would make it a showroom example. Some new, rich, unbiased owner will use this truck!!! Use it. We all want to see the outcome of 100,000 miles and the roads it travelled, since a lot of what icon builds is based on the fact that the manufacturer cuts corners. Icon doesn’t. Undersea pipe coatings tip to butt…mil-spec wiring for boats!!! Etc etc. this thing is a Sherman tank in an evening dress (if you count new wrangler jeans n boots and evening dress.

I do think some underbelly protection would be excellent. I don’t have any ideas on how to incorporate considering language. But some skid plates for the radiator, oil pan, transmission, transfer case, diff, and gas tank would be nice. Even if it looked like the black sheet metal from nowadays oem trucks. Just to “hold its dress up” while splashing through some muddy puddles. Sometimes there’s rocks and stumps in them muddy puddles.

I know icon has done it before where they’ve morphed an old body onto a new chassis. A 71-76 bumpside short bed graphed onto a raptor chassis and internals would be cool. Considering ford uses lightweight aluminum, maybe would have to use a custom Kore carbon fiber body! Now wouldn’t that be cool. A 100% carbon fiber ‘76 body on a 2023 raptor R chassis and driveline???!!!
