Just picked one up for 1500. Single can long bed, I6, 5 speed. Needs a paint job, some hvac work, fron fuel pump, and the driver door doesn't open from the inside. Truck is solid though and only has one bad dent. The rest of the truck is straight. I'm going to do a dirt cheap, diy restoration. Take it to some local car shows to show the kids that you don't need to spend 10s of thousands to have a good looking obs truck.
I'd paint it and keep it. I have two myself. A 95 Eddie Bauer in excellent condition. A couple small scratches and gave four for it last summer and a 93 xl that I've owned for twenty one years and am planning a complete going through as it needs paint and the front end , shocks, maybe springs. The secret to these OBS's is they both have a 300 six manual in them. The 93 at 140,000 and the 95 at 199,000 they will go anywhere practically and are good on gas in my opinion. Nice video by the way.
I have one of these with a 5.8. 364K on it. I've owned it since roughly 150k. They are great trucks, and everyone likes them. I can see them increasing in value.
I totally agree!!...I just picked up a '91 short bed, 5.0....These are the trucks we admired when growing up, or our Dads had one, etc...Most of us are at the age to afford one and want to relive the good times/memories in these trucks, plus they just look great!!
Keep it. I have a 1995 F150 XLT 4x4, SWB standard cab, 5 speed, with the 302. I love it more now than when I bought it in October 1995. So glad I never sold it or traded for something newer.
These trucks are already selling for 16 to over 20k with 6 cyls in them in my area. Forget finding an affordable pickup unless you dig one out of junk yard. 😂
My daily driver is 95 obs 4.9. That 4.9 is like a tank. The only thing that goes wrong with these are the door pin or the fuel pump but other that it's super reliable 👌
I own a calypso long bed version of that truck. But trans is slipping. But I do love it. I’m keeping my truck. Good luck letting go of it! Keep it. I’m subscribed
Keep the truck. Very hard to replace one in that condition. I have a 94 two wheel drive 5.8 W. Bought from original owner and rust free almost new condition. Was a barn find setting for 6 years after owner passed away. Paid 2k for it. Rust free perfect paint and interior. Hard to find.
Lol. I wish we still were in 2021. Right now, the market for these trucks is HOT!!! They get posted for sale and people show up at 5:30am offering more than the truck was listed for and they ask ZERO questions. Literally, in the last two years I have scheduled to go see trucks only to find "someone showed up and bought it no questions, no inspection." Sometimes people have paid nearly 50% over ask just to make the deal happen. The competition apparently doesn't give a crap about current problems, past problems, details about the truck --- You show up and argue, they show up & throw money at them and leave. These trucks are getting hotter by the minute and you shouldn't hesitate to get yours! The luxury this guy is presenting in buying these trucks is long gone. They're a hot commodity, and you'll be the last to own one if you're difficult now! Right now, the more question the Worse! They have a line of people trying to buy them who don't GAS and want to make it their project. Your bargaining days are over unless you ARE REALLY REALLY PATIENT!
Good advice. I've been set on fire before by not asking questions. I have a '96 F150 XLT standard cab lwb 2wd 5.0/automatic. It has 199,962 miles. Uses no oil, has no leaks anywhere. Frame and body is solid. I put a new Kenwood sound system in it (door and cab speakers too). Looks great inside. Its my best friend. Fixing to put it in the shop and have a tune up, brakes, shocks and a lube job then have it painted. You can NOT beat a good Ford truck. They last for ever. KEEP IT!!!!......lol.
I don't keep up with the market on these trucks much but hearing you say this could be a $7-9K truck really makes me wonder what I could get for mine. I have a '96 F-250, 133K miles, XL, it's an extended cab with a long bed, 5.8L, 4x4. The interior is a 9/10 but the body isn't as nice as the one in this video. If I could get $8,500 for my truck, I'd probably let it go.
@@417fox Wow, that makes me very tempted to list mine. I only payed $4,100 for mine so selling it for maybe $8,500 would be a very small profit for me (I've owned it for a year and gas is not cheap) but the money would still be helpful.
Keep the truck I am just getting ready to purchase a truck for my mom. That was my dad’s. It’s a 1996 F150 XLT 2 Wheel Dr. it’s got 127,000 original miles they bought it in 96 with 12,000 miles on it it’s got a 302 small block V8 for $5000.
Just got me a non rusty clean example of a 92 f250 supercab. interior is minty as well no tears or cracks anywhere. long bed, got the diamond plate on the bed edges, and kick plates. 7.3 diesel non turbo. Talked 1k off the price got it for a steal only 96k miles clean title.
I bought a 1994 F-150 XLT extra cab short bed 5.0 low mileage 136,000 mi on the odometer everything power windows air conditioner everything I paid $3,000 for this truck and the owner upfront with me and did tell me it was going to need shock towers in the front and a sending unit in one of the fuel and that was it, plus it has a rare color is rose gold almost looks like a copperish bread I've already been offered by several people to buy this truck from me of upwards of nearly $5,000 so now I'm going to finish and enjoy this truck and watch the value keep growing
Ive had people offer me INSANE money for my 1997 F250 7.3. It's not perfect but I can't get rid of it. With these modern trucks (which aren't trucks) I really think what I have is the last real truck I can get. I also get 19 mpg, super low insurance cost and cheap pretty much everything
Just picked up a 1995 Eddie Bauer edition in amazing shape. Previous owner put a new front tank which is usually the tank that fails. Shackles seem to be alright. Manual locking hubs. A bit of rust around fenders is manageable I may repair it. but the frame and box itself seems to be good I’m considering spraying the frame and box with Bedliner. Just a gorgeous truck overall. I may do the upgrade to the clear headlights mine seem to be in great shape however I might just try to clear them with some polish.
It’s absolutely the next fox body. I got a deal lined up with my little cousin to buy his 95 f150 single cab short bed with the 302 in it. He’s been driving it since he was 13 (they live in a rural area so nobody cares) and he’s approaching his senior year and wants a cooler car. This truck is far from perfect. There’s a bunch of leaks, the body has some dents and scratches. It’s been a work truck for his dad. There’s a misfire too. But little to no rust. No rust on the frame. The interior is OK. We made a deal on 3,000 dollars which I think is a good deal for both of us because I already know I’m going to sink some serious money into it (want to lower it and make it a clean street/show truck and build the engine), gonna swap a manual in it as well. He’s currently looking for another car so he can use the 3,000 for a down payment so he’s still driving it. But man I’m excited to get it. I’ve been wanting one ever since my dad sold his 93 back in 2004. But this one is way cooler than my dad’s old one.
Found a 96 F250 with an owner who gave up on fixing it and parked it for two years. $550 bucks and some regular work and I been beating on it for a year. Clean as that haha. Oh yeah and that is Canadian dollars.
I have a 92 f150 5.0 flareside, with 167000 miles, very clean interior, no rust, i paid $6000, i ready fix the issues, i put new wheels and tires, and look realy good, so now i can go to the car shows, pulling my 91 foxbody with my flareside, the best combo, have a nice day every one..!!😊
Just picked up a ‘95 xlt out of Washington this spring. Had 88k on the clock, no rust or accidents. Great interior and exterior is decent, some paint chips and scratches. Great motor and trans too but there’s a couple leaks. Been loving fixing and cleaning it up and replacing seals and spraying the underbody with woolwax. Mine is just like videos thumbnail, reg cab short bed electric currant red metallic. I’d keep it!
I bought a 92 f150 RCSB 5.0 manual last year for $3,200. It was at the very start of Covid and some older gentleman needed money for rent. As it stands I wouldn’t sale the truck for 7k right now. I’ve been offered 5-6k and declined those offers.
Nice video. I can relate about going to look at cars and trucks and people tell you everything is great. They are so full of BS. Nice truck very clean. Enjoy your day sir 🏁🇺🇸🦍
These trucks are awesome, but I don’t understand why they’re preferred over the 80-86s. In my opinion they look better and they’re the last trucks with carbs. I sold my 93 f150 with 110k miles for $3k (big mistake) a couple years back to buy an ‘85 f150 351w HO. Other than all the plastic inside, I love the truck and it drives awesome with a new Holley 600cfm and has Ford’s best auto trans, the c6. That’s just my opinion tho.
i bought me 1977 f 150 3yrs ago 58,234 miles ac works no heater it had a 400m paid 6k for her czcams.com/video/QjMBOo-XAZo/video.html 2nd week of jannuary im picking up a 1992 f 250 with 123,000 miles very littel rust inside is all most prefect ac cold ! 10k cant wait nxt yr ill go for 80's obs
I landed here because my buddy is selling his 1992 4x4 V6, manual, long bed... No rust, no leaks, excellent. It's Custom not XLT. I really don't need to do anything to it except I need a hard locking tonneau cover and those are not easy to find. I thing SnugTop used to make those.
I just got a 4x4 1990 5.0, only truck i could find at about 3k in good running driving shape. An obs in the same shape would have easily been 4500 ot 5k+, ive owned both and tbh they feel the same to me. So yea obs is gonna hold more value, but the gen before that is basically the same truck so if you need to save some cash there ya go. I was kinda annoyed with the guy i bought it from, in the pics you cant really see and i asked several times "is the bed rust free besides the little surface i can see, are the wheel wells good, and cab corners" he says they are all good, but there is bubbling in the wheel well and the cab corner is just starting on one side. I him down 500 tho
Nice video! If you sell it, you'll make more money with Option 1! After a good paint job, you'll need to get 13-14k to have the same margin! I'm not sure anyone would pay that kind of money for that truck but, it's a nice truck!
On those 9th gen Ford F-series pickups, the F-150s & 5th gen Broncos were dropped in 1997 but the F-250 diesels, F-350s, & F-Heavy Dutys on the other hand stayed in production through that year. Same with the F-series medium duties which are those semi lookin trucks with that same cab design except they stayed in production up through 1999.
I just bought a 1994 F-150 4x4 reg cab SWB 5.0 5 speed with only 107k miles! I paid 3k for it cuz it has a rebuilt title, but it was just hit in the drivers door like 13 years ago and the owner replaced the door and when I got it I just had to repaint it. It runs and reives perfect and it only needs a little cosmetic work. If the body was perfect I would put it bring a trailer and probally get at least 10k for it! I love it and I plan on driving the fuckout of it and maybe selling it later at a profit after I fix it completely!
I bought ford pre 1997 I have broncos f150s f250s f350s because I just liked them all of them are worth 10-15k more than I what I bought them for I have a 79 bronco I bought in 2014 at least worth 30-40k more now than what I got it for but I don’t want to sell them
I picked up a rust free 96 xlt a year ago with a bad engine i had a another 302 out of a 95 i totally rebuild it and put it in the 96 i got just a tad bit of rust starting above the back wheel on the drivers side going to fix it soon before it gets really bad I also have a 94 my dad give me he drove it for 20 years it's completely rusted it's in bad shape moter is smoking to the 96 is almost mint I put the 31×10.50s on it funny part is i traded a riding lawn mower for the rust free 96 body
I bought 93 f250 xlt for 7k.. it was a death trap...after a new 460, new exhaust, Suspension repair. Body repair. Etc..I was offered 40k...I'm keeping her...she's sexy now
First thing first, quickly get rid of those crome fender arches. Every OBS I've ever had with them had rust. The ones without were 100% solid. You've got a little rust starting, but fix it and please leave those off.
I like both options but I'm kinda leaning towards the first option myself. I know kinda funny considering I paint cars for a living🤣 just looking at it from a time to profit ratio🤷♂️
@@417fox lol. These trucks began ramping in price about 10 years ago when the Gen1 Broncos started getting silly money. An XLT like that would run you $15k in Boston or California. A clean low mileage truck would be $30k+. Look on eBay….$40k in Calypso ….soon Ford Tempos will be $20k. 😭
The obs Chevys already appraised and they are not increasing in value anymore. You are late to the party bro, the Ford obs trucks and dentsides are more valuable right now.
Chevy land tv 2 wheel drive is more attractive here in California then 4x4 are cheap out here no one want them at least in California people only want the 2 wheel drive
My buddy a big foxbody guy has the absolute nicest example of this truck. I totally agree with you on these trucks.

Hi, option 1. Ask $ 10,500 and buy a couple more , keep doing it ,make that 4 th or 5th truck you buy free. Good luck.
I think you should keep flipping until the one you REALLY want comes along.
I agree as well, 3yrs later lol,,,
Out here in california depending on the milage are going from 11k & up.
Nice truck tho,,👍🏼👍🏼

I think so . I definitely have a love for them like a fox.

On those 9th gen Ford F-series pickups, the F-150s & 5th gen Broncos were dropped in 1997 but the F-250 diesels, F-350s, & F-Heavy Dutys on the other hand stayed in production through that year. Same with the F-series medium duties which are those semi lookin trucks with that same cab design except they stayed in production up through 1999.
My oldest wants one like that. Long box would be better but still clean. Yeah I like the factory wheels
I bought a 93 Lightning last year that I have been restoring.
Core supports are usually rusted out.
I just bought a 1994 F-150 4x4 reg cab SWB 5.0 5 speed with only 107k miles! I paid 3k for it cuz it has a rebuilt title, but it was just hit in the drivers door like 13 years ago and the owner replaced the door and when I got it I just had to repaint it. It runs and reives perfect and it only needs a little cosmetic work. If the body was perfect I would put it bring a trailer and probally get at least 10k for it! I love it and I plan on driving the fuckout of it and maybe selling it later at a profit after I fix it completely!
I have a 1987 short bed ready to start my project
I picked up a near mint 94 flareside xlt ext cab 351 last month, only needs paint. Although the patina was awesome also.
I bought ford pre 1997 I have broncos f150s f250s f350s because I just liked them all of them are worth 10-15k more than I what I bought them for I have a 79 bronco I bought in 2014 at least worth 30-40k more now than what I got it for but I don’t want to sell them
I picked up a rust free 96 xlt a year ago with a bad engine i had a another 302 out of a 95 i totally rebuild it and put it in the 96 i got just a tad bit of rust starting above the back wheel on the drivers side going to fix it soon before it gets really bad I also have a 94 my dad give me he drove it for 20 years it's completely rusted it's in bad shape moter is smoking to the 96 is almost mint I put the 31×10.50s on it funny part is i traded a riding lawn mower for the rust free 96 body
That’s a beautiful truck and I say Option 2 as the value of those trucks are going to continue to 🚀 Great video🦾🏁
These trucks are going for about 8k-13k for the 4x4 model right now , wish i was looking for this truck pre-covid.
Recently bought a white 96 extended cab eddie bauer edition on rust is just over the passenger fender super clean otherwise
These are nice trucks but I absolutely hate the two piece intake set-up. A carburetor sure looks a lot nicer.
I bought 93 f250 xlt for 7k.. it was a death trap...after a new 460, new exhaust, Suspension repair. Body repair. Etc..I was offered 40k...I'm keeping her...she's sexy now
I think you should keep it and make it match the 417 fox
Great review and video ! My favorite style was the 92 to 96 F150 and F250 trucks from Ford . Umm what does OBS mean ?
Old Body Style
Keep it brother
Keep it and keep us posted!!
Subscribe button smashed
Keep it
Keep it!!!!
I have a 95 f150 super cab with 325,400 miles original motor,trans and rear end. And keep it.
Keep it !
I have a 1993 F150 XL 2WD supercab.
I got a truck just like the picture!! 1995
Damn right it is
Keep it! I got mine, love it.
Keep it would be hard to find another
Yes, with the full mechanical and cosmetic restorations this is a $14K truck.
She's a keeper...
First thing first, quickly get rid of those crome fender arches. Every OBS I've ever had with them had rust. The ones without were 100% solid. You've got a little rust starting, but fix it and please leave those off.
I would have done that if I kept it
😮I like it
I like both options but I'm kinda leaning towards the first option myself. I know kinda funny considering I paint cars for a living🤣 just looking at it from a time to profit ratio🤷♂️
These trucks have been the next fox body for the last 10 years. $$$$$. Where have you been?
Playing with Foxbodys
@@417fox lol. These trucks began ramping in price about 10 years ago when the Gen1 Broncos started getting silly money. An XLT like that would run you $15k in Boston or California. A clean low mileage truck would be $30k+. Look on eBay….$40k in Calypso ….soon Ford Tempos will be $20k. 😭
I'm sure these OBS Fords will be popular among Ford guys but the square body and OBS Chevy's will probably rule the segment.
Ok so what's your point?
@@kennethdixon8947
Point being, for flipping and 'investing', in general, I think GM C/K's are the better choice.
The obs Chevys already appraised and they are not increasing in value anymore. You are late to the party bro, the Ford obs trucks and dentsides are more valuable right now.
Always loved this body style, timeless! I’d say option 2 as I think you’ll have fun doing it and never lose a dime. Also good content for the channel.
I found me a 93 f150 short bed, 5.0, automatic. I wish it was a 4x4, but some day I will 4x4 swap it.
Love me some OBS
@@417fox yup I do too.
Chevy land tv 2 wheel drive is more attractive here in California then 4x4 are cheap out here no one want them at least in California people only want the 2 wheel drive
Nice truck.
