Cool stuff. Just a little advice from someone who grew up driving these. 1st gear isn't for taking off. It's for starting heavy loads rolling. 2nd is where you start. Also resting your hand on the shifter takes up the space between the forks and the sliding clutch causing unnecessary wear.
Thanks, yeah I don't normally start in 1st. I start in 2nd, I just wanted to showcase all the gears in this video.
@@willfrancone3908 just a little more advice from someone else who was raised on these trucks… please even if just to help out my Own insanity, always drop it into second gear before going into reverse OR FiRST gear and the trans wind do all that grinding like it did in the video. So many people treat these old Four Speed BullDog transmissions like a fully synchronized Honda five speed, and it really works on my OCD to see such things haha… very nice sounding engine though my friend, it’s music to my ears.
@@warrenmcelroy4718 Thanks for that info... I have a 1970 F250 4x4 with 4 speed trans and will definitevly do this the next time i'll take it for a spin :)
@@Blobb2013 damn you are one lucky cat! Don’t get me wrong I love the old HiBoy Fords but I’d LoVE to have a 78/79 Truck. But yeah definitely give it a try, it will help ANY manual trans shift easier. I grew up on old Fords and Mack/International Dump trucks and road tractors and shifting into reverse and my take-off gear in that way has made life so much easier on me. Enjoy that old Truck my friend…. Btw, the best Street Stock Sled pulling truck we ever had was a 1970 Crew Cab 4x4 that my uncle had put and old step side bed on from an old K model International PickUp, he bought it when he was in high school “1979 or 1980” and replaced the 360 with a 427 out of a Police Cruiser and that truck would scream down the track and won money every time. He still has it but it hasn’t pulls a sled in at least 15 years. 1970 has my most favorite grille of all of them .
Sliding clutch? It might wear out the paul that holds the shift rods and forks in place while in gear, but I don’t think it wears out anything related to the clutch
That’s what engine was in the 1966 Ford LTD that popped up for sale near me almost 3 years ago. Too bad I wasn’t able to get in touch with the seller despite doing everything possible. Oh well, there’s other ones that will pop up eventually as time passes on.
Sounds so good it gives me cold chills love your ride
Justine case is right. 1st gear is granny. Only used for heavy loads when starting off. Otherwise you start off in 2nd gear. As for resting your hand on the shifter, back when I had my F-100 390 ci, I rested my hand on my girlfriends leg. Life never got any better 🙂
So, I put your vid on a loop to fall asleep by that amazing engine sound. Thank you!!!
Man o man thanks bro great video. Brings back memories my grandpa had a 69 ford f100 with a 390 also I also remembered doing the same it was a tough truck used to burn rubber in all gears. Thankfully I was given the same truck as I got older still have it too.
My grandpa had a 71 with a 302 and three on the column and would do this anytime I came to visit!
I gotta hear this from the outside too in a flyby with a couple downshifts in the distance!!!! Just wow
From one Bump owner to another, Nice Ride!
Great video this is the best angle keep it up !
Can't wait to get mines done, I have a 75 f150 ranger 4x4 and stick shift. Can't get better then that.
dads almost done restoring his, was sitting in trees in georgia for 20 years wasting away till about 6 months ago, now its in florida about to hit the road in a few weeks. new floor pans and rebuilt 360, , painted red and tan. looks almost new. another one saved
Love that FE sound
Nice ride,great sticker.
Super clean interior
This is legendary
I’m about to get my hands on a 75 highboy. It’s a 360, 4 speed, 4x4, with headers and glass packs. Hopefully I can get her to sing like yours 🤞
Looks like more fun than the Ford-O-Matic in my 1967 F250.
Close to a second to shift because of the long throw, I love old Trucks.
I had a 1969 F250 Highboy. Was a 300 Six and granny 4 speed divorce NP 205 transfercase, Was swapped to 428 and top loader 4 speed in the late 70's it was just as bad on throw length with a long shifter handle and shift time.
I love that 390!
love the airbag sticker!!!!
LOL that’s funny that’s exactly what I was thinking to why start off in first gear but I see a lot of people do that
Sweet sounding truck man I love it
Yeah, normally I start in second
The sound of TRUE America
Old trucks are so cool 😎
ive a 68 f250 high boy ; with a 390 ; headers al high rise intake manifold duel exhaust ; sounds great
Best angle ever love seeing you drive. Please include cold starts and what happened to those badass square toe boots you used to wear?? Much better in a truck!
Summers in California are a bit too warm with boots and jeans.
Cold starts will have to wait until winter. Thanks for watching!!
Hey, just curious if you could make any more vids like this, just driving and going through the gears every once in awhile, letting that big block sing?! I have a ‘69 F100 4 speed, same shifter, etc…., but she’s “resting” at the moment. I miss the sounds and really just everything associated with driving her…. Anyway, I Love your vids and rig - Thanks for posting this! Keep up the Great work😎👍👍
Flush the tranny yes I know a stick drain tranny fill with diesel go a couple feet drain fill with gear oil drive couple miles drain refill
“No Airbags! We die like real men!” Lol
I miss my 1967 F250 with the huge throw shifter. I never intended to sell it, but my neighbor kept harassing my new wife(37 years) about buying it while I was at work. He just wouldn't let it go. When I agreed he flipped it after about two weeks. He gained most hated neighbor status and sold it at a loss. I could buy another, but it wouldn't be the same and my bank account would severely suffer.
Screw that guy. No class at all. Smh. Any ways, I’m about to get my hands on a 75 250 highboy with a 360 4 speed and it’s 4x4. I could not be happier.
@@adamroberts9593 I'm driving a 1991 F150 2wd with the 300cid. I got it 4 months ago for $850. It has a ticking motor issue (exhaust manifold gasket, sticky lifter?) remaining, but for the price I'm not too far out of pocket.
@@danbolton3180 check the air injection manifold too while your looking around for that leak.
Use to own a 1966 1/2 ton 352 V8 with the 4 speed loved it. Do not remember grinding the gears going into any gear. I own a 1968 F100 390 V8 C6 A/T. I do love it. Body not perfect and could use a paint job, but heck of a good truck. From other comments I am not far from you. Fresno
You might have had a T19 transmission it has a synchronized 1st gear, my T18 doesn't so sometimes it doesn't want to go into gear that easy.
@@willfrancone3908 I believe they called it a new process. Something like that. Owned it in 1978 and sold it to restore my Dads 68 in 1988. Tell you one thing about the 66 it got close to 17 Miles per gallon, it ran so good. the 68 gets 14
@@passqualecaiazza7728 Wow 17, I'm lucky to get 8 in town.
@@willfrancone3908 I did not have a lead foot. That help me verses friends that did. Plus I learned with the 68 it likes Chevron 89. I believe a little less ethanol. In the day when trucks new regular gas was 94 octane. Funny thing on chevron 86 maybe 10 mpg, on 89 it gets 14 mpg, Funny thing about the 92 octane it stalls. So I keep the 89 and it goes great. Back on the 66 I remember when they called it gas a haul. At the time only certain stations had it. If I ran it on it I would have to clean or replace the fuel filter in the fuel pump, every tank full. It was known to pull sentiment from the gas tank.
@@passqualecaiazza7728 Wow, I run 87 in mine mainly from Costco. I have the timing retarded a bit, it will diesel every now and then. But I can't afford the current prices if I ran it on premium. As long as I buy top tier fuel I don't have a problem. But if I get better economy on better gas I might have to test that.
I've had glasspacks before and never really liked them on a 351w with manifolds.But this sounds great, I think maybe the headers help a lot. I'm tempted to try some on my 390 FE with manifolds, but I really like flowmaster 40s
Headers and dual 3 inch straight pipe.....Add two resonators if your vagina hurts......
So is the vacuum gauge just for looks because gotta give it to ya it adds needle flopping flare!!!👌🤙🤙🤘
Muy buen conductor
Puro interior, quisiera ver el exterior. Saludos.
NP435 transmission. It’s a good one
That sticker is fucking Amazing, love it.
where can i get one?
@@dawn7020 I found it on Ebay, you could just look up "No Airbag Sticker" on ebay and probably find it.
That's badass what carb do you have in it.
Lmao i just noticed i have the same No airbags sticker😂
The Sticker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hey man i have a similar truck.. 73 f250 with a 390. What modification brings the best power gain for the money? intake and 4bbl?
Intake and 4 barrel will make the biggest difference. Headers will make a big difference too. Edelbrock performer rpm, is the best intake for these engines.
got one too.that first gear is for pulling out with a heavy load,useless with regular driving,they call it granny gear or bulldog gear.
Doing the same swap on my 73
My dad had a 62’ 4x4 ford with the 390 bitch would crawl or go thru anything
Fuck Yeah!
What camshaft do you have in the engine? sounds like a strong runner!
Stock cam
was that the factory transmission, or did it have a old T-3 top loader before, i see the spot the three on the tree shifter would have gone, and if you do sawp it in how hard was it to fit the BW T-10 in it and are bellhousings for that avilable
It was an automatic, and it's a BW T18, not a T10. Got the parts from a donor truck
Unless you have really tall rear gears, you don't need to use first hardly ever. There is a reason why it isn't synchronized.. it isn't intended for you to need it except for starting really heavy loads.
I don't use it often, I just wanted to showcase all four gear for the video
First gear is great for teaching kids. You don't need the gas to start LOL
Most any old manual..at a put in 2nd, then up to 1st no grinding
that granny was the chit for boat ramps and starting up steep hills with a camper and boat in tow.
That truck will be on the road for at LEAST another 20 yrs....todays trucks wont .
Back when stuff was made to last, usa pride .If life happens put it off to the side, you can always come back to it one day.
What part number of the headers?
Is it the comps or super comps is really what I need to know
Hooker Headers 6903HKR
How can I keep my rear end from jumping around when I try to burn rubber?
Caltracs bars or slapper bars, would solve it. Doing new shocks and leafsprings would probably help too.
Sounds Bad to the Bone!!! Can't wait to get my 4spd conversion done
Nice truck but learn to double clutch! Makes shifting smoother and lets the 390 breath a little between shifts
There's no reason to double clutch; 2-3-4 are fully synchronized. 1 isn't in the normal shift pattern. The 390 doesn't need to "breathe between shifts." The same engine is perfectly happy in big cars with automatics. You can double-clutch if you want to, but why? To pretend you're driving a big rig? Now, if you want to pretend you are driving a big rig, you can also shift a T-18 without the clutch; it's not good for it, but if you can match rpms to road speed, you can do it. But you can also pretend you are driving a choo-choo train by chanting "chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, woo-woo!" It won't hurt the truck either. But it doesn't make you a better driver, just putting on airs like that.
what rear gear ratio and tire size do you have?
Currently 29 inch tires and 3.25 open diff
where in cali are you located brotha??
Visalia Area
The 4 speed that you put in your truck was it out of a car or truck
The T18 and T19 I don't believe were ever put in cars, only trucks and jeeps. It was from a 71 F250
I had a 1966 Ford Fairlane 4 speed that is what I won't to put in my 1971 Ford f100 truck 4 speed like that
Surely thats not a stock cam? didn't see mention of it so i was curious
As far as I know it is a stock 360 truck cam, I reused it when I did the 390 build.
@@willfrancone3908 interesting, do you have a tach/know what you were revving it to?
@@micahrlusk yeah, it was probably at least 4800-5200, in this video. I've had her up to 5500. Sometimes it valve floats at like 4600, but other times it doesn't
@@willfrancone3908 yeah it sounded up there but not too crazy, I’ve had mine up to what I would guess was 5500 and it was just floating the valves (not my doing lol) so yeah that sounds about right. It sounds great though. Wish mine sounded that good
Isnt that first gear granny?
… idk I think my 302 f250 can hang with you
No airbag s 😂😂😂
I think his leg hair was a little longer by the end of the video. Testosterone overload.
Truck 4spd, first gear is useless and you can't find third.
390 IS NOT A BIG BLOCK !!!!!!!
It definitely is a big block
Please learn to drive stick before torturing this truck but no seriously nice truck love it try changing the tranny fluid if you haven't
What did I do wrong? I was purposely driving it aggressive, I don't normally do that.
@@willfrancone3908 like a couple other people said what you have is a 3 speed with granny low start in 2nd and lay it down as for the the grinding your clutch needs adjustment
@@beastemodes4321 first gear isn't synchro so there is nothing wearing out, it doesn't always line up when putting it in. When I normally drive I use 2nd
@@willfrancone3908 have you tried double clutching
@@willfrancone3908 but still mine doesn't grind like that
Need learn how drive a stick, learn how to stroke that 390 out tonthe highest rpms then change gears.
It has valve float at 4900, I gave her about all she's got
@@willfrancone3908 the only drive a ford drive it like to stoled it. Ive got a 390 granny dana posey 373 gears. 525 hp. Drive that truck dont be scared of what you do to it. Always rebuild
My Tesla model y would smoke that archaic junk of junk 😂
