well seems like a dimwad thinks an old full size Ford is a ranger, not
Looks like HOKE POKE needs to do some research…
And you just called me a dimwad
Back in the late 60s and all of the 70s the ranger was a full size model I had a 72 ranger xlt 390 4 speed and my dad had a 78 ranger xlt
Rangers used to be larger. They haven't always been the little baby trucks they are nowadays.
They started to shrink some time in the 80s I believe, if you look at a Ranger from let's say '73 you'd find a full size Ford.
ranger used to be certain ford full size trucks, ranger later evolved to the little truck , which before used to be called a courier ...
I think Uncle Rick lucked out finding this one. That's a damn sharp ride.
It is!
Tell Rick I'll trade him an AR for it.

After editing 5 videos tonight, I finally have a moment to watch this video! Yes 🙌
Thanks for watching Randy!
Once ya learn the little tricks on those old Ford’s, you’ll be hooked! I’ll make you a Ford man yet. 😎🇺🇸 Another great video.
Maybe so!
As a Dad to a Girl you don't have to excuse painted toe nails. Just means you're raising them right and being involved Brutha. Great video.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 exactly
This is the best car content on CZcams. The length of the videos, the content, the funnys. PERFECT
Can finally put a face to uncle Rick. Sweet truck, looked awesome when you were done washing it. Amazing what still runs and drives out there. Great content as ususal.
Enjoying the longer videos. Thank you for bringing a little joy into all of our day. I can't wait till the next video
Thank you!!! I can’t wait to put videos out!
My summer truck is a 1973 F-250 Ranger Camper special, 2nd owner , all original... 56,000 Miles, Two tone greens ... Gorgeous truck...
Love these old trucks and this channel. As far as color & paint , I'm almost certain that the two tones were completely covered in one color then came back and painted over that color with the 2nd color / tone.
Started watching last night just finished it today. This was some excellent content! Thank you for all the work you put into these.
Glad you enjoyed Randy!
I been sitting on my grandpas 72 Ford 100 360l for at least 12 years.. Decided to finally start working on it. 😂 This vídeo was not only entertaining and informative, but also motivating. 🙌🏻 Don’t have much experience with engines and old cars but this shit came in clutch!! Swapped out the ignition (had no keys) then followed along and got her turned on! Thanks a milli.
Man that’s awesome! I may mess around but if I can’t help guide ya in the right direction that’s awesome!
That is a cool truck. It really turned out nice. Your Detail Department did a great job on the inside too. It's nice to see they like helping out with this stuff.
I pay them for good work!
@@PuddinsFabShop what? you mean your teenage girls aren't interested in cleaning old cars for the fun of it? Shocking.
You can polish a turd but you end up with a shiny turd
Hell yeah an hour long video! Streaming to the TV with a cold beer in hand!
Enjoy!
I just can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a 72 Ford pickup with air conditioning. That has to be a very rare option or aftermarket add on. Such a nice truck with a TON of potential with a great 390 engine. She’s a goodin & She was built for pullin and keep ya cool too. That was rare back in 72!
I think air was added at the dealership
Hey Pal---Those were called "wisk brooms" back in the day. The Dust-busters actually made them obsolete. Wisk Brooms & dust pans were great for Fireplaces. It beat pullin' those Big Kirbys out for such a Small job. Us younger guys back in the day used them for Car interior carpeting along with a vacuum cleaner, Big Help in loosening up lint & dog hair that the Vac couldn't suck up. lol *It's Gooden for Puddin's Car Care.*
Hell ya!
Im loving the FORD content. Looks like many people love it as well. Keep it up Puddin! Im diggin it! Thanks! 😊
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Man did that thing smooth out to sound sweeter'n apple pie. Real stoked about the bodywork and interior condition too - someone really loved that truck once. Uncle Rick scored himself a good'n for sure. Great work, Puddin'. Good to see another old beast headed back to the road where she belongs - and even though I'm a GM bloke first and foremost, a win is a win and a classic is a classic when all's said and done.
I agree. I’m to the point where I like about any oldies.
I was a GM bloke in a family of Ford fanatics. Dad had so many different Fords over the years and I was out in the garage helping him modify most of them. First rebuild I did that wasn't a lawnmower was a Ford 711M crossflow engine - at the age of 13. Ran well too. My voice broke when I cussed at it a couple of times (when the old man wasn't around of course) when I reground the valve seats, so I remember it quite well.
Finally brought home my first GM after 5 years of pretending and thought the old man was gonna throw up on it! He treated my "disloyalty" like I was coming out the closet or something. Conversation went pretty similar to how I've heard it happens too - "How can you like GM when there are so many good looking Fords that have been in your life? Hell - you even BUILT an engine for one and owned a couple more! Don't expect me to like what you're doing, boy. Not sure as I want you to bring it round here either - what will the neighbours think?"
Sure as I am sitting here though, he took one drive of it and then every now and again would steal my keys, or I'd catch him looking at it with a pensive expression. He eventually owned several and never bought a Ford again. You could say he learned the error of his ways! Strange how things happen sometimes.
I do love that yellow truck though. She looked and sounded real good and to be honest, I'd be happy calling it my own.
Makin Mondays great with puddin!!
Damn right!
My father had one of these on the farm. It had been stolen in California and recovered in Oklahoma. My father purchased it at an auction. Brings back good memories.
Ours was a cream yellow under the cheap blue spray paint job someone had given it.
I love the old Ford reminds me of one I had I wished I'd never gotten rid of
👊🏻👊🏻
This is the reason I love mondays a new video from my boi puddins
Hell ya! 👊🏻
@@PuddinsFabShop You really deserve a sponsor.
That small broom is called a whisk broom, mostly used to sweep the sand out of your car or truck.
I'm always losing stuff ha
Hell yeah brotha! Love me some old ford pick em ups! Thank you uncle rick for giving us the content
Big thanks to him.!
@@PuddinsFabShop Big thanks to you for doing the work and filming it. You have worked your way to my #1 auto channel. Keep it up and Im sure you'll be doing it full time soon.
Dam bro you really are a good mechanic getting those old cars going. I wish I had your skills.
Nothing to it but to do it! Trial and error. Ask 100 great mechanics and atleast 50 will tell ya that I don’t know anything!
I love beef steak tomatoes with miracle whip sandwiches..
Absolutely that is the best
👊🏻👊🏻
add a little salt and pepper and that's what i grew up on...well and beans and taters and cornbread
@@janeames1513 your making me hungry Lol
My 1st vehicle was a 1970 Camper Special...
It was originally Yellow all over.... Brought back a lotta good ole memories, wish I still had it today..
Every house in car in the 60s and 70s just about had them damn brooms metal cap at the top
I’ve only came across two now. That’s the smallest tho
My first truck was a 1971 f250 360 4 speed camper special with 300k on it.
Got it from my dad after he towed campers all over the country.
It eventually rusted away to the point of no return. i put 70 k on it.
It always started never left me stranded once. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for watching!
Uncle Rick has another great car to his collection, that '55 chevy wagon looked pretty sweet. Thanks Puddin for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I think the paint on the B pillars and top was to match a camper that rode in the bed during it’s early life. Dad had a 73 Super Camper Special with a 460 V-8 and C6 transmission. When I was a teenager I was useless. I stole it outta the yard one day while dad was at work and tore a farmer’s cornfield all to pieces with it. It’s one of those stupid things that I did that I was so ashamed of when I finally grew into a man. Dad lived to be 82 and every once in a while he’d mention it and laugh.
That makes sense! Add a camper that don’t match the truck so add paint to the roof and trim to make them blend!
Lol tried playing the Puddin drinking game. I drink when you say "uh" well I'm halfway through the video and I think I have alcohol poisoning lol
😂
Very cool Camper Special! I’m watching this 20 minutes at a time while the wife is at appointments, keep at it , you’ll get it fired up!
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Everyone that watches needs to sub, this guy is amazing! :) Deserves it with the great content! Cant wait to see you hit 100k and beyond brother!
My dad had a '72 Ford 100. Had a 390 with a 2 barrel. I loved that old truck. I love the way this generation of Ford trucks looked.
They’ve grown on me!
I think we need a “ Bills professional opinion” segment every episode lol 😂
😂 right!
Thank you my friend we will do that. Keep up the good work like your shows
Glad you enjoy!
Puddin and Mortske, Monday night viewing covered. Keep up the great work!
Will do thanks!
I love that truck, those people got rid of the best vehicles they had sitting in front of their garage. Pudding I love your videos, keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
Thank you Mike!
Having Puddin on Monday is the highlight of the day!
Thanks!!
@@PuddinsFabShop what engine does that bad boy have
@@PuddinsFabShop I'm eating tapioca puddin and watching p. Puddin work hell of a deal
@@alexbaker9967 he said in the video that it has a 390
Boy puddin big time now days. Even rolling with the platinum battery 😲😳
Same battery I’ve been taking out of my Travelall lol
Oh no... Someone's taking a liking to the Fords. She cleaned up nice.
I am!
Another PFS success. Swept out the box without a tailgate slip and fall.
Thank goodness!
Man you had me yelling at my phone when you did the firing order 🤣
Figured Ford folks would like that 😂
I got to go get my 1978 F350 dump truck. It needs a rear end. It was bought new by a local farmer here in patriot Indiana. Well he died in the late 80s. And then it was sold In a estate sale. Sat till about 04. Then the old tree trimmer guy I used to work for got it. And I was like are you going to junk in. He said no this is a brand new truck. And I was like yeah right well we had to pull it about 2 miles before the clutch would come unstuck from the flywheel. We got it running I drove it like a car till about 2010. Now it's 21 and it's mine.
Hell ya!
Damn I’d love to own that truck.
Me too
oh we have a long one tonight!! no more waiting! You are the man! thanks for being you
Thanks for watching!
The truck sounds great!! Great job my friend.
Thank you!
Neat old truck! I think maybe blown ballast resistor killing spark (they get 12V from starter relay for better starting. Choreography during bed clean out was awesome!
👊🏻
Another FIX OR REPAIR DAILY runs again!! Love your channel!
Thank you!!
The top was probably white, most of them were. That is a nice truck, glad to see you get her running again. With a new tank and a little more work, that one would do anything you need a truck to do for way less money than a newer one.
Yeah a little more to go on her!
Nice job on the Ford! That built in toolbox is cool! 👍🏼
It is!
the tool box is actually where the spare tire goes
@@Callsign_Fredrick877 That’s much easier to get to than under the bed! 👍🏼
@@Callsign_Fredrick877 Really? I’m positive the spare tire wouldn’t fit. They had the chain hook underneath.
Smart move having Rick buy the project trucks. You make the video and he supplies the vehicle. Pretty smart. Great video. 👍
That's the cleanest late model Ford I have ever seen, must've spent most of it's life in a dry climate too.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I love old ford trucks!
Thanks Puddin!
👊🏻 thanks for watching!
Imagine the tiny witch that could ride that broom and you have my ex wife
You won the comment section on this one!
@@PuddinsFabShop your working on my literall dream truck
@@alexbaker9967
That is a Nightmare to the rest of us!!
🤔 🤔 I don’t get this one buddy I don’t 🤔🤨
Well it could be worse, she could have been so big she needed to ride a vacuum cleaner
The F 250 Ranger XLT Camper Special was the highest trim ford offered. I owned a fine one , with the 360 V-8 HD 4 speed and 4:10 posi . Loved that Truck, Drove it Coast to Coast Camping all the way
Puddin awesome vid I was wondering if you may be interested in going back to the J yard and see if your bud would let you do a test start on that 720 diesel or maybe the kei truck at the beginning of the video?
I’m not interested in them right now.
Can’t remember how I even found the puddin. But been watching every video since. Thanks for your love of fixing the oldies . 👍🏻
Thanks for sticking around!
Some of those camper specials had a longer wheel base. They moved the rear axle back further to help with weight distribution
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Jesus, dude. That's the truck everyone is looking for. F250 Ranger XLT camper spec.
Found one.
Beast!! Subbed like a week ago. Good shit young man! My oldest boy is the same age as you.
Thanks for subscribing! Check out some of the previous videos!
Getting hooked up to Old sparky attached to old electrodes man I love these old trucks didn't realise how big they are she looks really solid for a ford I know I'm a ford guy.thanks for sharing this video 👍
Great day when puddin drops a vid
Every Monday!
@@PuddinsFabShop for all the times I’ve watched you I never knew that
Monday at 6! Any other video trickled in the mix is just a bonus!
You sir, are a comedic genius. And a stellar mechanic. Thanks for sharing a little piece of your life with us.
I didn't know that Datsun made a pickup that was that big.
I don’t even like Datsun. Y’all just don’t believe me lol
@@PuddinsFabShop, keep talking like that and you're going to lose your Datsun King crown. 🤣
thats a dam nice truck..glad it got saved,,,i had a 72 f100 4x4 ...it was a loyal truck for sure....just love these trucks....when the truck got painted..they usually paint the entire vehicle..then the second color is added thats why you will see the yellow under the gold ...motor sounds good in it too ...i would love to own it
👍🏻👍🏻
An hour and 7 minutes of nothin' but puddin' pie!!! Y'all gotta love it!!! Yee-fucking-ha!!! (We're just havin' fun, don't take it seriously!!!)
Yee yee
I want to thank you for posting a warning. It was helpful 😉
Haha! Just having some fun! Keeps it from being work.
i feel like you done that burnout just for me hahaha
Maybe!
@@PuddinsFabShop might have to see what the ole monte carlo will do drop me an email if you wanna see it lol

Good find! Wish I could find an old truck like that around here!
Me too! Lol
Great watching you work on a fix or repair daily! (Ford) LMAO!
Just glad you watched!
Also don’t forget this one
-Found on road dead-
Not a bad old truck. It was Super Duty before Super Duty was cool. And cleaned up nice. 👍
👊🏻 she did
This video was sponsored by Mortske.

always loved the Ranger series except those boxes built in the bedsides,I owned a 77 XLT bought new and cared for but it didn't stop it from corrosion on the opposite side it had a foot hole that didn't rust now trucks aren't as simple no more of the characteristics of days gone by now I own my third 79 Bronco but this one is my first Ranger XLT I bought as a parts rig then I have my daughter the second one I bought in Alaska as a wedding gift so I started gathering the parts that I used to make it 100%,like others finding parts aren't easy but it's close to being done I look to your channel as inspiration to keep working on it after 15 years and 3 heart attacks and a stroke killing a chamber of my heart I'm thankful the hardest is done
You’ll have people beating down your door for that old girl!
It won’t be at my place for them to do that lol
we had a 490 camper special when we were kids, and definitely slept in the back of it!
Hey pudding what about that lincoln setting there.i bought going to get crushed but saved it for 300.00 dollars.
They are all going to ricks except for the other 250
Wow! I really like that Ford Ranger. The yellow anx copper top! Wow 👍
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Hey Puddin.. What kind of camera do you use? Oh and I've been in the archives this week watching the Edna build. That's been a great series
GoPro 8 now.
Growing up we called those whisk brooms and used 'em to brush out car interiors
👊🏻👊🏻
14:37 best part of the video, lol
Not sure what it is.
Be hold the power of my battery cleaner. 🙌
I have an F250 camper special Range with a 351M bored 60over .
Love your show
Thanks for watching!
Wheres mortske? He’s usually lurking around here. Hmmm 🤔
He’s here somewhere
@@PuddinsFabShop I'm always watching...
Sitting at an appointment with my wife. Have my headphones in and watching this and laughing. People are looking at me like I'm crazy. I love your content
Take the head phones out. Make them listen 😂
If I'm not mistaken, that camper special has lug nuts that spin one way on the driver's side and the other way on the passenger side!
Not sure
Mmm Mmm Rick Nailed That Beauty, Great Job Gettin' 'Er Back Runnin' Thanks Puddin' ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks for watching!
That's factory and a great ride. Don't see many with out rust. Nice 👍
👊🏻👊🏻
My grandpa has a 67 f100 and I am in love with it
Hell ya!
I had a 74 short bed long time ago and it was the same kind of yellow I think it's like a mustard color. I always called it baby poop yellow and then I had a bump side 69 3/4 ton camper special. With a 390 engine. I think that's got a C6 transmission in it. dang for 72 she looks really good. My old 69 the roof was all rusted out. I literally put expandable fom in it shaved it off on the outside skim coat of Bondo and white paint over it. In that bed on Rick's truck I actually looks really good mine was rusted all around the edges the middle. But other than that it was a damn good running truck.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
16:47 I’m watching this old video and wasn’t ready for that little bit of Toby Keith. RIP Toby
Runnin' strong! After all these years. Good to see!
I agree!
It’s a whisk broom for sweeping out the truck floor. Had other uses as well. Excellent video! Love that Ford
👊🏻👊🏻
the little box the points and condenser coming are right around .020 or a match pack always works. I remember my grandfather using match packs all the time for setting points out in the field
As an old Chevy guy I would like to have this Ford.
👊🏻👊🏻
Paint was custom from the shop, probably only 6500 painted like that. I've got a 77 chevy that has a seafoam green and side boxes in the bed, there was only 5,000 painted like that - the Chevy guys were surprised that it lasted throughout the years. Great find!
Thats a sweet old truck. I had a 71 Ford Ranger. Real nice old truck.
👊🏻 thanks
If the glove box opens without having to be hammered you got a good one. You can buy a marti report that will tell you everything about the truck.
👊🏻👊🏻
I got to say you have a damn fine channel and I have to thank Mortske for turnin me on to it. One other thing has me puzzled though. I can't figure out which of you is more cracked.Keep up the good work cause I really do enjoy watching.
We both appreciate ya watching! Guarantee
@@PuddinsFabShop Puddin is far more cracked. I keep my shirt on.
The broom is also scented. Dual purse. Both puposes are so so but smells good, works and looks cool ish.
Every project I drag home gets PB blaster on every bolt/nut/spring even if I don’t plan to take it off. Worth the $6 can every time
Yep! Start spraying!
I had Safeguard put a trailer hitch on a car in 1972. They did a good job. Puddin, I told you a while back I wanted a s10 pickup with a 383 motor. Well I found a 2002 Corvette in Oklahoma that I am getting Sunday. I used to work 12 hour shifts. It got to where it was tough.
That’s awesome about safeguard! Corvette will work!
