I built my Cummins Bronco in 2009. I bought it for $700 as a rolling chassis no trans or engine, but NP205 t-case was included. Had brand new sky jacker 6" lift suspension too, I sold the detroit locker from it for $700(the locker made it handle weird on the road) so I basically got the truck for free. Then I found a 91 W250 with a Cummins for $1300. I pulled the motor out, and sold the rest of the truck for $1500. So I got the Cummins for free, plus I made $200 on that. I spent $1700 on a Dynamic Racing C6 for it, and $1500 for the cnc machined transmission adapter plate and race flexplate from destroked. After tires, and all the odds and ends, I ended up with a total investment of $5500 for the whole build. I maxed out the fuel pump and built a hybrid turbo for it, added a 7.3 intercooler too. It averages 22-27 mpg and is a lot quicker than it looks. lol

I own a 99 F-350, and 4 years ago I swapped in a 3208 10.2 L turbo V-8 CAT and a 7 speed fuller trans. It gets a lot of looks from people and I had the hood open at the truck stop checking for leaks after the swap as I was fueling it up, and a guy in a 3500 RAM saw the engine and asked how I got a CAT in a Ford? I looked at him and replied "wrenches". He then wanted to know what I intended to pull with it and I said "anything I decide to". I told him I had no problem with the power stroke that it had in it, I just got a good deal on the CAT and Tranny and decided I'd put them together. I'm glad I did and my F-350 is my dream truck now. Remember "If it ain't a CAT, It's a dog".

Honestly cost a lot less than I expected. I was expecting double at least. $48k for basically a brand new OBS with a Cat 3126? Shoot, if Ford were to make a comparable truck today, it’d be well over $80k. Maybe closer to 100. All in all, it’s been my favorite series on your channel, aside from the K100. I love your meticulous nature, and your want to make everything as “factory” as you can. There’s something to be said about that. Great job on the project Rich. I know you’re proud of it, and I am too. Awesome truck.

I just do farm work and tow some equipment once in awhile. Nothing crazy. But I understand the appeal of both. The 6.7 is a really great engine that makes great power.

Jist discovered this channel, the Edison truck is something I've long considered doing to a 3/4 ton, or a Suburban/Excursion, and after binging those videos it's made me want to get that idea rolling again. I'm a mechanic and machinist by trade, currently a generator technician (mostly big diesels), and this is probably one of my top favorite channels now. You guys and AvE hitting the top spots. What a spectacular crew you guys have, and the knowledge and expertise I've seen thus far is probably second to none in my experience on this platform.

I've said it before that the FTreeKitty is my favorite vehicle and build series you guys have done so far. Best sound track of the channel and you know I'm only here for the music.

I have been following the build on this truck for the past couple years and think you did a awesome job. I thank you for this breakdown video too. I just happen too have a motor home chassis with a c-7 and 6sp Allison that only has 100,000 miles on it. 🙏🙏👍💪

Any chance of you doing something with Edison Motors? They are a Canadian company doing hybrid logging trucks. They are on KZfaq as well

Rich is in Ontario the Edison guys are in British Columbia, its like the opposite side of country -east vs west coast. It would be nice to see them collab tho! 👍⚠️⚡🛠️🔧📏

He just built a truck with his friends in California. I dont think distance is an issue

This was not a simple engine swap. It's more like a dream truck build with no expense spared. In the end you have "Created" A Unique, One of a kind, Bespoke, Master piece. "Miester Deboss"

@@DEBOSSGARAGE Thanks for the heart Mr. DeBoss Kinda funny. My two favorite KZfaq build sagas both were completed within a couple months of each other. Your most beautiful CatFord, and the Volvogini. It's a 70 something Volvo 245 station wagon with a V10 out of Huracan. He just got it going, and raced in Sweden's sick week. The amount of knowledge, talent, and work required for both these builds is immeasurable. Your an absoult master of trades.

My 3126 I got fully dressed for around 800. I found an allison 3060 for 1200. I got a clean frame for 200 sold the beat up bead for that lol. I got f550 axles for 1000 because I hate the twin i-beam suspension. Got a cab and front clip for 500. Got a fender and seats for another 500. Got a 40 or 50 gallon fuel tank for free. Now I'm trying to find a good deal on a rebuild kit and head for the engine. Cat wants over 5k for the platinum or gold kit (can't remember which one) but I'm not trying to pay that

This and the Juice box are my 2 favorites on the channel. I love the f350 other than its a long bed. But its not my truck. I have an 09 f150 that i keep plugging away on and sometimes it gets daunting but when i see the f350 on here it gives me more than enough motivation to keep going.

This is amazing, I watched this video about 3-4 times and I decided to buy a 1969 Ford F600. You have inspired me to do a Cat swap, I definitely want to have that one of a kind truck just like you guys!
