I thought you'd like a look at this super clean 1968 Ford F100 Ranger Pickup. This truck was just restored about 200 miles ago and it practically looks showroom new. It's powered by a 360 V8, backed by a 3 spd manual trans. The paint is slick, the interior is all new, and it's really clean under the hood. This truck is ready to go. I hope you find it interesting, thanks for watching!

Ford always made the best looking trucks
My Dad had a 69 Ford Ranger that I drove around for a summer. I loved that truck. It's still my favorite.
It was Red and White 360 automatic. I wish that I still had it.
I agree, that wood bed floor is a little different than what you typically see. I like that they used some wood with some character to it, instead of something more uniform. Thanks for checking it out!
I love the design, I love the color, I love the originality of the whole truck. Those hubcaps are just perfect.
That is Nice It reminds me of seeing them in commercials and magazine ads when I was young I knew someone who had one this year back in th mid 80's same color
It really is super nice...thanks for having a look at it!
when i saw the thumbnail i was like did i pass out and start dreaming about the perfect 68 ford
Ford sure made some great trucks at that time. Thanks for checking it out my friend!
Ford made the best looking pick ups 67 to 72
Ford was really making some great trucks at the time. This one is really sharp. Thanks for checking it out!
My first vehicle when I was 16 was a 1977 Ford F100. Thanks for taking a look at this one, I appreciate it. Hope you're doing well my friend!
Nice looking truck. I got a 68 F100 with a 300 CID, daily driver. Boxwood green, with white bumpers and grille. I love these guys.
The Red doesn't make any sense inside that truck, everything else looks incredible tho
Yep, that red should have been black, or some rich cream color. Red? Anyway, super nice truck, I love the color of the truck. Good Job restoration folks!
My wife and I have the same exact truck except white. It's all original and people always comment about how nice of a truck it is but at some point we will restore it to that level. It was purchased brand new by her grandfather locally made in San Jose CA.
I love the 3 on the tree.
They did a nice job on it. Those were classic pickups.
One word...pristine. 👍🏿
It really does. It's a bit bizarre to see one that nice.
Absolutely beautiful..my dream truck...it is my opinion that Ford makes the best lookin trucks on the road.
The 67 to 72 Ford pickup is the best looking of all pickups made in those 5 years and had the greatest selection of engines from the I6 to the 289 V8 in 67 and then the 302 V8 and 360V8 and even larger FE engines were used, plus that BEAUTIFUL twin I Beam front end!! A person had to be stupid to buy a chevy pickup between 67 and 72 when they could have had the Ford instead
That’s a mint looking pickup
Thanks for sharing.
I had a black '72 F250 4x4 which I called my "horror movie truck"..LOL! They did a real nice job with this truck!
It definitely could be used as a daily driver. I mean, it's a good running and perfectly usable vehicle. Around here, our winters haven't been that bad in recent years. There is a short time each year, where I'd prefer to keep it put away, but that's about it.
Man, that is a nice truck, gives me a goal for my '69
Nice truck. Not sure about the red seat or the wooden racks ,but other than that I like . the driving lights in bumper is different
Love the color!
Glad you like it, thanks for checking it out!
"Horror Movie Truck"...that's hilarious. This one is really clean. Thanks for taking a look!
If you watch a lot of horror movies, they seem to use a black 67-72 Ford pickup fairly often. Your truck is the wrong color and just way to clean and nice! You want a black F250 with no hub cap and a few dents, they you have the look..LOL!
Very nice truck love the color. But the hood is off a 70 to 72 I can tell by the letters but beautiful truck
Nice truck ! I have a very nice low mileage 1972 ( 20,404 miles ) one owner F350 stake/dump....... It is the very truck I dreamed of owning since 1972 !
Except for the gas tank be in the backseat I really like these old trucks
Yeah, I would lose the racks too, but it sure is a nice truck. I'll bet they sell it pretty quickly.
Me encanta este canal
I guess that makes you a classic too George :)
The only words I can say is your F100 looks Delicious! Not a Factory color yet a Bumpside looks so good when they have had Lots if Love! The difficulty is thinking about having it as a Daily Driver would be having to be haired down every time you park it and going places with it. Such a Magnet to attract attention! Mmmmmmm Nice
Nice seafoam green
very nice truck all ways bin a sucker for classics
Definitely one of the best lookin' trucks I've seen!! I don't know about the sideboards!! sometimes less is more eh!!☺
Green hornet 😎 😎 cool car color stunning motor powerfull and big awsome truck strikes like a hornet thanks jeff and Jordan for this video 😊😊
Perfect. ....dreaming of one.
I like the custom front bumper, just can't figure out why they didn't letter the tailgate?
Nicest one I've seen.
La mejor de las series F 100 y F 250 de vehículos de los años 67-72 inigualables a la fecha en estética y potencia.
My dad has got a 196 6 Twin beam 100 it's a nice truck
Cool!!!
I'll try to find you one, I haven't seen one in a little while.
Another excellent video, thanks much.
Beatiful
is this Lunar Green?
Yeah, the sideboards seem like an "old man" mod. I'd lose those myself, but it's a really nice truck...about as clean as they get.
Yeah Matt, it would be tough to actually use it to haul anything.
Nice i used to have a 76 like that.
3 on tree like they call I use to have one like that 3 speed on steering colomn it mean 3 on tree for those who don't know but 360 is big engine mine had a 240 inline 6 in line nice truck realy
I believe the F100 was always considered a half ton as well. The F150 was a heavier duty half ton.
The F150 was created in 1975 as a way for Ford to get around some new emissions laws.
Yes, it is a 3 spd manual. I often wonder the same thing. Seems like a lot of time, money, and effort to go through, just to sell it. Maybe some people just like the process of restoring vehicles. Then they sell them to move on to the next one.
LMC Truck parts are all made in China, cheap re pops. If you want good quality reproduction parts for F series trucks, "Dennis Carpenter Reproductions". Costs are higher, but made from original Ford tooling. I'm from Canada, did my research before restoring my 68' Ranger. Well worth the difference. Fitment and quality of the highest.
Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten about Dennis Carpenter. Some years back, I bought some 48 Ford F1 parts from them and they worked out well.
RamblinAround Hey, No problem. Love your video's, keep up the great work. Cheers!
I own a 68 F100 390 V8 ( was a 360) AT. Very good truck and still drive it. Just wish I could restore it like that, but of coarse if it was restored I would be afraid to use like I do now. I'd hate to scratch it
amazing!!
Looks like my dad's old truck hopefully will restore it but until then it's safe in the garage
"Built Ford
Built Though"

The 360 was not a performance engine, it was never intended to be low compression with a long stroke. It was a working engine, and a good one, I remember many of them back in the seventies had 150,000 miles on them which was unheard of back then. Ford got out of racing in the early seventies , most of their engines had potential there just was not any performance parts available for them or they were hard to find, but the 360 was never meant to be fast but a good engine it was.
It would look beautiful with a white interior, yes saying got combine the colors.
Nice Truck not to crazy about the fuel tank being in back of the seat though. they had terrible accidents in years past with that setup.
Hey there are some Gateway Classic cars featured on Saabkyle04's channel!
Very kool......
Thanks for watching!
What kind of streeing wheel is that
Hermosa
Nice truck
How much is one off those trucks value I have a 1972 ford 100 sport custom 302 original paint 75000 miles unrestored that going to sale soon
I almost bought one a couple months ago
Anyone know the colour?
the 360 was a good engine, they were dependable and would last forever if maintained properly but as far as I know they never had any performance capabilities. Every one that I ever remember were dogs when it came to performance, they would hardly run 80 mph.
plase can you tell me the color of the truck or if the or the truck has a color serie num or how can i find that color or where
If I can remember and find it I will look on dad's old truck it the exact same
Why a red seat?
I have one I want to restore. I need help. Where to find all the parts? Who did this restore can I contact them?
One of the best places for parts is LMC Truck. They have a great catalog for 1958-1972 Ford Trucks. You can also search for parts on their website.
Ok, thanks for the help!
That wood needs to go.
The 1968 Ford pickup was a Beautiful, perfect truck. Today they have ruined the pick-up truck with it's aggressiveness and bully-appearance and stupid mag-wheels (I used to like mag wheels then I grew up). People substitute them for a car instead of what their purpose is: The farm, work, and off road. Worse when they put on annoying loud mufflers and bright, blinding lights. These new trucks and autos are for narcissists! Even women drive them because they don't want to be ladies.
