Is a build ever really done??? Put the tools down and step away from the truck! '53 Ford 5.0L swap.

Is it a Hot Rod? Is it a Rat Rod? Call it what you want but it's the $%#!
Builds like this are never really done, there's always something else you want to do to it. That's what makes these builds so interesting. Make it your own!
This 1953 Ford pickup has been custom built with a chassis swap (1997 Explorer 2WD with a GT40 V8) and custom air ride added. Check out the complete build, beginning to end, on our channel.
This one's ready for its new owner!

    Lettered drill bits are generally used by machinists- the sizes are in decimals measured in 1000th of an inch. There are charts that show what each letter equals in decimal equivalents. F = 0.2570 or just a shade over 1/4 inch for us regular guys. 🤓

    The drill bits used by machinest are done in number higher the number Smaller the bit. The lower number is bigger after reaching 1 you go to letters than double letters.

    I use the Lincoln 185. I would recommend something over 200 but the 185 definitely does the job.
