    I love that this looks and sounds like it was filmed 20 years ago for tv

    I fell asleep watching continuous play YouTube. Woke up to y'all doing a Frankenstein on a a Ford/ Dodge. WTH? Y'all do great work. Love the color. Those prep guys you brought in are tops. Holy jeez. The finish on that truck is outstanding.

    Love watching these videos late at night. Has a basic cable vibe but still very enjoyable to watch. Feels like hour long info-mercials are about to come on after

    The way this is produced i genuinely cant tell if this is from 2008 or 2023, i love it!
  • The big tow mirrors are a MUST!! Those little bitty mirrors look terrible. The rest of the build looks awesome! Great work!

    Thank you for using simple tools that everyone can afford.... that's cool
  • This may be an old video, but boy you guys are interesting and I can watch you all day... The way you guys explain and how easy it is to understand you... The thing is most people will say that video is too long, but I assure you just start watching you will never know how the time passed... That's how much the information flows and easy to know what they are talking about... I am not a mechanic but it still interests me...

    Holy throwback. I’ve always wanted to watch the full episode of this build.

    Very slick hybrid machine. That voiceover, music.and recaps every 7 minutes really dates the otherwise timeless how to piece.

    Wow, imagine so many well experienced minds all busting their butts to make this truck the very best that it can possibly be. The final product shows how much love and expertise went into this build. I used to watch these shows (along with all of the weekend morning fishing shows) on TNN and I always enjoyed them. It's always awesome to see these entire builds posted in a full length video.

    I grew up watching this build, and seeing the full build in you tube, got me excited

    I had a 2014 Ram 3500HD with the 6.7 Cummins with the Aisin 6 speed automatic, crew cab, long bed, and it was single rear tire. It was a 9300 lb truck with me in it, and I towed a 36' flatbed gooseneck trailer in it. I was EXTREMELY hard on that truck as I used it to haul equipment in the oilfield with it in the West Virginia/Pennsylvania/Ohio tri-state area, so it got beaten up on the hills and mountains. I put 195,000 miles on it in a year and a half and the only real issues I had was when reverse went out in the transmission, and I shattered the front diff in 4WD low trying to rock the truck and trailer out of a mud pit that I accidentally sank into on a dirt road in the Allegheny Forest. Those were both repaired under warranty though. I really loved that truck. It hauled over 35,000 lbs for hours long trips on many occasions without a single issue. It gained alot of respect from me. I never even had the change the batteries.

    "Wow, what a fascinating project! Mixing a '70s Ford Crew Cab with a Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel Chassis is a brilliant blend of classic style and modern power. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this build are truly impressive.
  • @bennetfox

  • @dwp139
    The other signature build from Ryan and Kevin. This thing came out absolutely immaculate.

    As a factory machine operator, I'm very impressed with how you acknowledged the work operators do. Thanks Destin. I LOVE this new series. Made in USA baby!

    I enjoyed the video , lot of useful information. I remember reading a article in a magazine about the introduction of the 5.9 cummins to a Dodge and I told my Dad back then , he bought one I. Decatur in a couple days . I had no idea who did the first prototype. As for the brakes I got a 95 4x4 I doing the 3rd generation front brakes with a 2001 front axle . Your right about the chev rear wheel cylinders. I did the hydrobooster system and it helped braking . You might at some point consider a exhaust brake. Also give the engine some timing say 17 or 18 deg . That helped my 95 get a lot better mileage.. As far as towing may be installed a set of air bags on the rear also. I installed a g56 in my truck and replaced a burned up 47rh. Don't regret that a bit .. Your build is really nice a lot of talent went into this .
