On Discovery channel right now they are changing a newer style F-150 into a machine to shake nuts from a tree.

I suppose if chevy is "like a rock" it's OK for ford to be a "nut shaker"

Lol, true redneck here, I went to my girlfriend's house to watch it on cable. Watching these guys explain it is something. "It shakes the nuts down into the nut sack, and then the conveyer dumps them into the nut bin". You can hear the laughter in the background!

They made a Geo tracker into a hot air baloon.

I went to a car show and saw the Explorer trash truck, The impalla Zamboni, and the Porsche golf ball picker upper.

if you go to the web site it has information and pictures of all the monster garage vehicles. it also has a list of the car shows and such that they will have all of the monster garage vehicles on display. i gues you can get in them and get a real close look at them. i wish i was on the west cast. that seems to be where all of the shows are.
'75 F-100 4x4, 4" lift
35x15.5x15 super swamper TSL/SX
mini-spooled 9" rear end
390 w/ cam,headers,
and 4 barrell edelbrock

TRIED TRUE and FORD BLUE

My only question is, why do they have to make everything look like a ricer? Did you see the rims on the F-150 nut shaker? And the paint job? I will admidt, that method and the job would be really cool on a street rod, like a t-bucket, or a duece coupe, but not on a work truck.

>My only question is, why do they have to make everything

That is due to Jesse James. His manner and disposition are definitely California Surfer Dude. His is very good at what he does but he sure does some weird stuff. Like when he built his Sturgis bike and then he hops on it with his flannel shirt, tennis shoes and stocking cap and drives it to Sturgis. No helmet, no eye protection, no jacket.

That would be a very uncomfortable way to get there for me at least.

just as an update and a comment...i am practically attached to my tv whenever that show is on...,yes they do in a sense destroy vehicles,but they also use those vehicles to create theyre own monsters...to bring those ideas from the back of theyre heads to life...and they build and fab all needed parts possible from raw steel.

and on another not last night i watched it i dont know if it was a repeat or not but ive never seen that 1 so...they took a ford e-350 cutaway/schoolbus,and built themselves a pontoon boat...

They turned a VW New Beetle in to a, uh, well it was this amphibious thing for the swamps with a big fan on the back...

OKAY, OKAY, I'm a dumb yankee that's bubba-challenged!! It's one of those things they use in the swamps of Florida!! HELP ME OUT HERE!! WHAT DO YOU CALL THESE THINGS!!

Anyways, they do use a lot of Fords, which is fine by me.

Air boat, or swamp boat. I'm sure there are others but I'm not sure.
