I like it
Heck yeah, Tucker! Can't wait to see the backlog of videos!
Something to consider with the create diesel. Will you be forced to use DEF fluid? On the 4L60, the 4L80 was built for bigger gas and obviously the Allison for the GM and other diesel manufacturers.
Pretty sad that the price of powder coating has gone up so much, that it's literally cheaper to just build your own setup. Will seriously pay for itself almost immediately. Smh
Good job !!!
If it wasn't for the upholstered cushions along the wall you would have lost your mancard immediately. "This is my sewing area." 😂 Good video!
Well, now I know who to call for my powder coating needs!
You have a challenge on your hands. Keep up the good work.
I watched your video and wondered where you got your heat to rise calculator ,we where on the Internet and could not find it. Thanks
So that’s like r-13? Funny I never thought about the r-values of a oven before….
I’d do a Kabota diesel.
You can get an om617 for $500. I put one in my jeep in highschool 10 years ago. Part are an issue. VW 2.0 tdi 2009+ is a great motor, common rail injection and variable geometry turbo 140hp stock 230ftlbs stock. It will do 170hp with just a tune.
Put a last gen vw diesel in it. Those engines are great. Smooth as a gas motor and minimal turbo lag. 140hp stock.
Thanks for sharing your adventure! My daughter in law inherited a 1958 FC170 from her grandfather - trying to learn about the ole thing. 🙂
Nice job!
how to lift at an angle while going straight up?? I put my FC150 cab on a 4" x 4" frame with casters, held it together and could then move it around, doing the body work on it now
Wonder what the as-built weight was... and what it'll be when all those rusty panels are replaced!
Clever!
Nice and easy! Nice job with the winch and lift control to get that steering column clear.
Lol 0:49 "should be pretty easy".
I like my sawz-all for a lot of removal but love to use 4" grinder with friction disc for straps and such, very fast, thanks for documenting this build, very interesting
Willys 225 L6
that went well, sure would be easier if you didn't film and had both hands, so thank you for sharing, not may M677's out there, awesome to see one being redone
as tough as that was way better than a midwest vehicle, my FC-150 needed oxyacetylene with small tip on all bolts, cherry red, then came out with large screwdriver turning with channel-locks
uhg. That's no fun! This is/was a coastal NY vehicle that appears to have been setup as a beach-runner (based on the high flotation Baja tires). So, I was totally expecting your experience and I was pleasantly surprised I did not have to resort to your methods! Stay tuned to see the crazy amount of rust and rot that I am sure you are familiar with
@@deltadrivedesigns you did very well. Considering that
Toyota 4runner pwr steering gearbox is almost a bolt on
is it?? Tell me more! does it use the existing pitman arm and linkages or does it require something different?
I like the military tail lights and turn siginals
Me too! I definitely intend to keep those, with maybe some modern LED internals and stuff to make them more visible with today's distracted drivers.
A 4bt cummins would be great
It needs a sbc possible ls swap
Very cool project! I think your lifting point is reducing your rear weight reading, it should be lifted at the rear axle (like you did in the front) to get the correct weight?
Fun to watch your progress. Totally understand your mission impossible. Have my own fc170 project.. Know that feeling.
You have a challenge ahead , it’s clearly a labor of love as it doesn’t make sense any other way . Being a rare example goes a long ways to why , Pretty sure I have never seen another .
Great video, Tucker!! Thanks for making it! You asked us to guess which engine you will be installing. My first guess is a new Cummins 2.8 crate engine. My second guess is a Cummins 4BT! I haven't yet watched the video where you speak about the new engine so my guesses are genuine!! I'm looking forward to following this build. It's going to be epic!
Thanks for Watching! Very good guesses! You will see in the later video that the 2.8 cummins is definitely a top contender! Not going to spoil it for you though. Hope you enjoy. going to be a long adventure!
Never seen or heard of this vehicle.
kuddos for even considering salvage this piece! Unless you're completely crazy.
Ha! maybe a bit of the latter?? lol. it's just sheet metal, how hard can it be??? famous last words...
I got a 59 fc170 that sat in a field for 20 years and I drove it out
Nice! Do you have any videos or photos you can share on youtube or the Facebook FC page?
The only thing that bothers me is how long we have to wait to see your rig moving. Not your fault. There is just a lot to do. Good luck and I will be watching.
Hello Tucker, I hope you are going to reinforce the frame on your cool custom Jeep your building. Back in 1978 my brother and I had an 1958 FC-150 that had the flathead 4 in it. We were going to install a Ford 302 with a 4 speed. Then we were going to ad a third axle under it to make it look like a tandem axel semi truck. But one of the main things that we needed to do was extend the frame rails & ad some cross members. But reinforcing the paper thin C channel frame rails were a real priority. But just boxing it in & adding a few extra cross members would probably make a big difference. Good Luck👍
ok watched the rest, didn't guess you would pick what you did, I think it is a great choice, won't comment more as don't want to spoil people's suprise
Um... more not so helpful helper Sydney please!
meant the 2.8 sorry
guessing Cummings 4BI
4BT? That's the engine I would have looked for to put in ours if I didn't have the 4.0 already.
Good Guess! The 4BT is certainly a popular option for these trucks and is on my list for comparison. Definitely some pros and cons with it - however, the weight and noise are pretty big detractors on an FC swap. Check out my third video where I evaluate 10 engines (including the 4BT), by the numbers, and reveal my selected engine
@@deltadrivedesigns I only see two videos, this one and one you just posted.
