Exactly my brother you get it brother, nowadays I see so much cash throw into trucks and most looks like “destroyed a classic truck “ but this thing looks brilliant and it does phenomenally what it’s supposed to ....”have lots of fun with it “

Jordan May Would love to know what issue it was featured in! ty

+Mekhanic1 Same here! I just picked up a 68 and would like to build it up to a similar spec as this!

+Mekhanic1 august 2009 sand sports magazine. i still have the original copy. now i just wish sand sport magazine was still around.

I am a photographer as well and my dad and I jointly have the same truck would love to find the copy you shot for of the magazine and show him this youtube video and the magazine to see what he thought. Though we could never afford to do all the modifications that have been done here (ours is pretty much stock) it's fun to look to it for inspiration.

What does retro mean

J THRILL lt basically means old

Oh thanks reportedcub

J THRILL Wow...

It's not that I'm stupid is I hear a lot of people used the word retro so I was confuse 72Disco1998

pafman123 We got hustle too brother! Keep it pinned :)

MoltenMotorsports Send me your info! drivebigmuscle@gmail.com

MoltenMotorsports I was wondering also how he'd do in a real strong offroad machine. It's probably best to start with that Red Ford to get the feel.

Drive BigMuscle Email coming shortly!

66tbird1 You can't get better than a Ford. Take the BRONCO...end of story, goodbye.

RichyN25 Wow your literally the first Chevy guy I've EVER heard admit to liking something else. Your a gentleman and a scholar my friend :).

+RichyN25 It's a 69.

RichyN25 I love the mid eighties dodges but the mid seventies Chevy and Ford. I'm still a mopar fan through and through though

David MuscleGuy Thanks David - appreciate it man!

David MuscleGuy If you want underrated I recommend you the autoedit channel. They're a ton Drive quality videos with pretty much no views in comparison, and some of them are truly great. Mike Musto gets some recognition at least, that guy gets none. There's a channel called Hooniverse which is also good and not that popular.

I agree... Mike's videos make me feel like I'm riding next to any buddy of mine who's giving me his opinion on a new car his driving. 'A really cool dude.

Same here bro, you get it ❤️

I know this is a little late but it's just the way he worded it. Probably has a manual valve body

courier11sec I Know Rite , then he’s like a Car Guy is A Car Guy.. Should Ask Him He Knows Any...

It’s Not A 72 . I Swear They Make It Up When They Really Don’t Know.. Ill Bet Ya Patty’s Prize Pig 🐷 That’s A 68-69 No Way It’s A 72.. yep patty’s Pig 🐖 .. Bet Me Show A Title Says That’s a 1972 F-100

How does a guy claim to be car guy and be so clueless.

michaelovitch what do you mean?

Matt Leonard I mean it spends more time in the air than in the bottom of the pan : )

ok...

+michaelovitch not really... and the ones that actually do drive that hard have dry sumps. but thats not why, nor is it usually an issue.

nope youd be surprised by how good it stays even with a wet sump

cybertree *I did something similar to this with my 1996 XLT FORD BRONCO (5.7L).* (You've NEVER had fun until you've driven a four-link. Only I had 40''x12.5's on short gears.) Pretty much put a trophy truck under it, *the idea was to be able to be the dukes of hazard while keeping the body intact...and I succeed ;D. It's my fun-mobile.*

Rick Wright I would have went seafoam and white.

***** Don't think of the US losing them, think of them spreading the US ingredient to other countries. There will always be Mazdas in Japan, VWs in Germany and Fords in the US - but as Mike said, if we want to bring this world together, we need to cross-fertilise and learn from one another. Cars as ambassadors ;)

YensR Totally agree with you ! I love american cars since i was a child. I got two of them and I hope to move to US one day and bring them back to their home.

Nah' they use the vehicles as intended in the Middle East.

WRXXXual well, if america paid 50 cents a gallon, im sure more americans would too.

***** not really something special to the middle east people abandon and abuse cars everywhere. think of the neglected cars you havent seen online

Xander521 It's fun over there, nothing but spoiled sons of oil-shieks, it's like sex and the city during the day, and machine gun fire at night LMAO.

***** *IF* that's an unlikely *IF* they are tasteful lol.

Jesse Hires i thought the body style looked pre 72

Jesse Hires Probably just going off what it was titled as. Also remember badging and such isn't a dead giveaway anyone could have always added that stuff.

Cragified You are correct about the badging. A few things about it... The grill is definitely a 1967 or 1968. Only years they turn signals were enclosed. The red badge on the grill is a "Ranger" badge which was the luxury edition of this pickup. By 1972 only the Sport Custom was available. The hood says F100 on it. The badges on the hood are easy, the grill is a bit more difficult, but can be done. It is a shortbed pickup. F250 was only a longbed configuration. The bolt pattern on the wheels is 5 bolt. F250 would have been 8 bolt. Now that I've said all that, the amount of modification that was done on that pretty much negates anything I've said. My guess is that it is a F250 cab/title/VIN whereas the frame, front clip, and bed were from a donor rig. The rest (suspension, drivetrain, etc) is all custom.

Jesse Hires Have to remember titles in the U.S. which is were it was bought from go by the frame. Which was tubed front to back which means the whole body was off it at one point. It is most likely a 1972 frame with a 1967-68 body on it.

***** For unibody construction today which is fairly standard the unibody shell is the frame which the VIN is attached to. Title follows the VIN. So if you get a new shell as the term is used and put all your current vehicles other parts into it the new shell has it's own separate title. Basically the title always follows the chassis which is what holds the vehicle together and to which all other parts are attached. So if you pick up a car at a salvage yard to use for the 'frame' you'd get what is called a salvage title. Regulations also follow the frame or shell. Which is why you can take a 32 roadster frame and put a modern engine and drive line into it and have no exhaust or seat belts because at the time of that frame's construction such laws were not in effect.

me and my dad rebuilt his old 85 bronco he had when he met my mom, he sold the truck and a friend bought it at auction and we got it back almost 3 years ago, it now serves it's life as a rock crawler with the factory ford i beam ifs Dana 44 with a 9 rear, 456 gears, and a 351 roller motor with a holly projection. that beast is fun to just punch and do a pull from 1st to 2nd
