I agree.

And you would think that if he does it full time, he should be head and shoulders above of others. But welding is welding, grinding is grinding and wrenching is wrenching.

Best recollection I have, Aaron lives in Texas. So, it would appear they aren't the same person.
Guess that answers that question. Good Sherlock Holmes work Steve.

on K.C.,s you tube channel he is redoing his 68 from gas monkey. the last video i saw of his he went to El Paso to buy a 76 Ford B-100. i know its not a Bump but it looks like a cool project any way. he said that the truck was built in Mexico and the company that did it was still around.

K.C. has some Youtube video's of his shop. In one of them, you see pretty good shot of that B100.

More parts sounds good to me. Sooner the better!

I would love it if he made a front brake kit that adapted Ford rotors and calipers.

I liked Aaron's work, I get very tired of the fake drama in these shows and would prefer them to focus on the builds. I enjoyed the variety of odd builds he did and his thoughtful approach to the work.

I think there are a bunch of sourpusses on this forum as well as some great builders. So he has a TV show and some of you don't. Still good for the F series, and BTW, I think he knows as well as anyone what after market parts are out there, and I do hope he can fill in some gaps. I know I'm not alone in being annoyed at the huge supply of parts for GM trucks and the paucity for the F series. My only and probably vain hope is he does some stuff for the small community of 4X4 F100 owners.

Go Aaron!

I had a conversation with him last year at LST about his new venture. He plans on offering F100 parts for all years of trucks from suspension parts and pieces to complete chassis as well as turn key trucks. One of the things he spoke about that may be of interest to people on here is a bolt-in or weld-in front crossmember that uses all CV outers, but is about 4-5 inches narrower than the stock CV unit. This will allow people to run the late model geometry, have plenty of parts availability and still fit 'under' the trucks (some people do not like the wider width of this suspension). He is also wanting to make it something that anyone can do without having to 'fab' anything. He envisioned someone calling up and ordering a front kit or full kit with the full kit being available with new 5x4.5 axles to fit your Ford 9 inch rear, bolt in front kit and of course brake upgrades front and rear if desired all delivered on a single pallet.

I remember that "arclight" was the code word for the B52 bombing runs over VietNam.

I watched them build a race truck. I am not sure what he can't do but the dude is a math genius and I doubt there are many, if any, members on this board who could do some of the layout stuff he can do.
