Turned out pretty nice other than the height.

I thought it turned out very well, but I did think it looked like it had a rake to it. I like a lifted truck to set level. Wish I could do that to mine in a week.

I didn't like the MT tires on a 2WD

What kind of gas tank did they use? I know they removed the stock one and installed a subwoofer.

The paint job and that 351W was nice.

you can do anything when you have money backing you up and all the big dollar tools and parts at your finger tips

Jarrod · Post by **Jarrod** » November 8, 2006, 7:56 pm

Not only does it take big dollars, nice shiny air tools, and parts ready to go, but it also takes a ginormous amount of man power working like crazy to get it done. Look at it like this: 20 some people working on it at all times, 24 hours a day for 7 days works out to 3780 man hours. Then factor in the crate engine, trans, and the fact that they have this stuff down to a "fine tuned machine". 3000+ plus hours should be enough to get my truck done. Porblem is it will take me like 3000 years to do it

Planning. I think the world record for building a house is around 8 hrs. Includes pouring foundation (and letting it set!). It's all about planning, and yes they do it in a week. I know some people that have worked on the show.
Foose's truck was a special thing because all the people that were working on the regular cars, also snuck out and worked on Foose's truck. No way they could do that in a week.

I watched that show recently to see where the gas tank was. There was a door on the driver's side of the bed originally that they filled. When they were spraying in the bedliner, you could where they taped off the gas fill neck in the nback of the bed floor like Skip's.
Did you also notice that the truck had 8 lug wheels before and after? It had F100 emblems but had to be a F250.
