Very cool build!

Should’ve taken the painters tape off the line after you put the peice over it before putting that fitting together might not seal

any updates on how ac worked out and how big of alternator do you use. just looking for update

So I got a 1957 f100 2wd but I wanna make it 4×4 what do you think would be the easiest way to go about it

What did you use for a radiator?

How did you register the truck on the frame or on the body

Hell yeah!!! That thing is awesome!!! Great work guys!!!

Alternator now takes the load as opposed to the belt driven compressor. Energy has to come from somewhere!

I can't understand , people who say... "oh, I don't like that car".

Any updates on this. I will be installing 4WD on a 63 F100 that I own and would be interested to see your progress.

Mines a '73 Ford Pinto 2door sedan, drive her every day

How much horsepower are those turbos rated at😮

Looks perfect!

Where did you buy the timing cover with the oil drains? I have an 83 Malibu Wagon I'm doing that to😮

Class B vans have the ability to use 12V rooftop air conditioning units.

I've been running electric AC in my 1988 Kenworth cabover for over 8 years with no issue.🚚🚛🇺🇸🇺🇸

After y'all through playing w that beautiful build guys, wanna sell it? I do meet alotta folks..... would be fun driving a 1950 Willys jeep.... esp after ALL da neat embellishments, contributed to driver comfort & safety-awareness. Great team effort there!!👍

Awesome mechanics.... Just worried bout that small rad.... Being a truck driver, one might think a diesel generates much more heat, than gas power. Am I wrong?

Get you a 270a low rpm alt from Mike Singer. thank me later ;)

oh man, electric AC. That's gonna be a great solution for my integra when the time comes to overhaul it. With plans to turbo it, packaging an ac compressor is rough, but with an electric system I can mount it pretty much anywhere. Definitely looking forwards to seeing updates on how well it works

Who says E V s are popular ????

What kind of gas mileage you get?

Well that sucks, i know u said u dont want to get rid of the rambler but like i said the offer still stands 2-67 impalas for the rambler n i do live in Maryland if u change ur mind. One is a 67 4 dr hardtop and the parts car is a green 4 dr sedan i got a video of the green one.

I’m glad we could help!

Where can I get that radiator? And transmission

Vw diesel? You must not work on cars daily haha😂

Dang. Sorry all this happened to you guys. Good on ya for givin' it a shot. 👍

Just put some nice 15"/16" rims on ole girl, hell a matching paint steelies with the factory(red)cursive Rambler baby moons & 3" ganster white walls(Coker radials)would be perfect. Much safer & dependable & hold the horse power.

I'd like to see someone put a refrigerated semi trailer diesel engine in a small truck or something.

I own a a few VW’s and they wouldn’t have made it on the HRPT. At least you guys tried. As far as missing Louisville, it was my least favorite venue. Just a big parking lot with no events, so imo opinion you didn’t miss a lot. All the other venues were great!!!

One of my great late 1970's road trip adventures was to go rescue my older brother when his '65 VW Bug blew its 1200 engine near Cottonwood California, 564 miles away from my house in Orange County. With help from a buddy, we threw a 1500 engine together out of pieces in my garage, put it in the back of my '62 Love Bus along with all the necessary tools and did a road trip over the grapevine (super slow going up - stupid fast going down) to swap engines at a rest stop where my brother was stuck. Lots of mistakes were made in the build thrash and hitting the road on almost no sleep - but we got the job done

God I absolutely love monterey breezeways and that rambler wagon is so damn sexy. Got me a 56 fairlane but I think I need another project soon.

Most important thing is how reliable and long term life the AC compressor life is. No good if it only lasts for a little bit. Factory fitted systems last for years and years in most cars and trucks.

Dude- it is Willys- like Phyllis. not Willies like Phillies.

The Rambler did GREAT considering how fast you put it together. Who would have thought you’d blow TWO tires!! There’s always next year!

We missed you in Indy today. I took my grandson and introduced him to some old American muscle and told him about the Rambler. We walked all over Raceway Park looking for you guys. Sorry that you had issues and couldn't finish the tour. Funny thing was that he kept asking all day if certain cars were Beetles so that he could slug me in the arm. I kept telling him that you're not gonna see any Volkswagens at this event....🤣.... Maybe next year !! One thing I did notice is that there was only one Willys Wagon at Indy. If I get my '58 the way I want it then I might have to consider doing Power Tour myself.

71 sucks

There is a guy that has a vw channel named Jawbreaker... You might ck with him since he is heavy into VW's and see if he can help you... I'm really sorry to hear about your troubles again on power tour...

lemme guess you ran the carbs too lean to save fuel because you don't know you have to run the air/fuel ratio rich in order not to melt the pistons to the cylinder walls.

Running highway speeds without all of the engine tins on an aircooled VW keeps the air from circulating properly, which usually causes cylinder #3 to overheat.

We called them 'stupid beetles' back in the 80s😂 1:13

shocked! shocked I say. Sucks this looks like a fun toy once the bugs are out

Patrick’s famous last words at the beginning of the video 😮

The only thing bad about electric air conditioning on a 12-volt system it's a 12-volt system amperage is quite high you need a really big alternator.

I drove one of those when i learned to drive, low first gear was 5 miles an hour.

Been doing a ton of research, and can't find a lot on a 1968 C20 fleetside. Do you have any recommendations on donor vehicles to swap with?

Anyone else terrified of the "get us by" comment with a lift?!?

If you put a new frame like this under a classic body, can you register it under either VIN? Or do you have to use the VIN of the body since it's visible to people under the glass?

Love the Rambler, I had a’64 for ten years wish I still had it mine was all stock 287 v8 three on the tree with overdrive

A bone stock Rambler would have make the trip without a hiccup. I did a 2700 mile road trip in a 66 Rambler two days after taking out of a 10 year layup. Only issue was a clogged fuel filter and had to clean junk out of float bowl once.
