Your floor board video was a huge help to me when I did the floors in my 65 Mustang
Thanks for that!
Your videos on this truck translate very well to my 65. Keep em coming.
Thanks 👍
Love my 68 F100 keep up the great work.
Guys!! I have really enjoyed your F100 video series and as the verified 3rd owner of a 72 - F250 Ranger (we have loved it for 3 years now) - I have been able to reference several of your "projects" whilst I tackle them as well. My son and I will continue to look to yall for inspirational and informative videos. So, Thanks and keep up the great videos!!
Great to hear!
Got my 69 f250 for 800 bucks. It had a crunched front end and passenger side bed. I cut some pieces off some junkyard trucks, learned to weld, spent the last year working through things and...now I have a beautiful classic truck that looks good as new! (Thanks to this channel)
Thanks for sharing. And thanks for the kind words
This episode will be a long hauler. A great reference. Got me thinking I should do one on Squares. Good stuff guys!
We should collab somehow on that. Get with me next week. Would love to doa 67 to 72 C10 as well.
Great video, Jeff! I lucked out on my '72 F100 Ranger. Over the years I've put a little more in it than it's worth, but I plan to have it the rest of my life.
Right on!
When I bought my F100 it was the other way around. The seller said it was a 360 and I drove it for months before decided to measure the stroke, and it was actually a 390 with gt390 heads. You could imagine my excitement when I discovered that. (1967 F100, 2wd, Long Bed, I converted it from 3sd auto to 4 speed manual)
Awesome! That sounds like a neat ride!
Really enjoy your channel! Bought a 72 F100, 302, 4spd on-the-floor with granny. It's my bucket list. Making plans to rebuild engine or buy new one. Leaks oil and have coolant in oil as well. Just nursing it until I can pull the trigger on replacement engine.
Sounds great! Thans for the kind words! We do plan a basic 302/351 Windsor build tips video soon.
I have a 1968 F100 Shortbed with a 521 Stroker , C6, Gear Vendors overdrive and Dana 60 semi floater with powerlock and 4.10s. Super Quick and Very fun. Also have a 1971 F100 SB Flairside 4x4 with a 360 ( now a potent 390 ) NP 435 trans and swapped in NP205
Nice!
I live in upstate NY and own a '74 F350 that I saved from a local yard. I'll just say what you have is one fine, low rust truck good sirs.
Edit: and yes mine is a 390 - not because I listened to anybody, but because I ran the bloody codes and inspected what I had lol
RF 100 is pretty Rusty underneath my friend from New Hampshire always tells me that my 72 F100 is a rust treat free truck up there
Greetings from NE Ohio! I have a 72 F100 with an S code 390. I know it is genuine because I put the engine in. I recommend two things before you get serious about any F100 --- Get all the history you can on that vehicle and repeatedly ask questions of the seller. Many times a seller will not know even a little of what he is selling.
I bought my F100 from ebay and lucked out. It had just been driven to Ohio from Texas. There was very little rust and it was easy to deal with. With a little research from Ford Motors, and a deluxe Marti Report, I found that my F100 was one of only TWO made like it in 1972! It proves that if you know all that you can about what you are looking for, you have a good chance of getting a winner!
Thanks for all your videos, I enjoy them all as they are very helpful. You guys are a great asset to the hobby - Keep up the great work!
We love Kevin Marti and his fantastic reports.
Great Content you guy's....
You are correct,,, Ya got to check every nook and cranny you can,, before you buy......
Then decide if it's worth the cost for fixing it up....
Unless you got some deep pockets,,, or Money is not an issue....
Money is an issue normally, I bought this one knowing it was a pig because it offered video potential.
Marc is a great guy ive gotten a good desl of ideas n advice from him
He is a super nice guy.
Hi Jeff and Cam! I have a beautiful 67 S-code Mustang, but I have the F-100 bug. 67-72 is what I want. Have looked on line and am shocked at the prices. Will have to put dream on hold and decide if the Mustang stays or goes. Thanks for the advice and cheers from Motown.
Right on!
Another good web site for anything old Ford truck wise is Ford Truck Enthusiast aka F.T.E. Some facts that people might not know about these trucks. The windshields from 67 all the way up to 79 are all the same and the doors from 67 to 72 are all the same however the 67 's have a lot of one year only parts like the radios , heater controls and the inside parts of the doors. The grille for 67 is also a one year only deal. The hoods from 67 to 72 are all the same. I think that I got a pretty good deal on my all original 67 SWB. I traded straight across a running driving 74 V.W Bug for my running driving 67 SWB.
I use FTE and Fordification. I just find that Fordificaton has a ore robust tech section.
Found my 1972 F100 from FB Marketplace after 3 months of searching. Man I'll tell you what a pain in the rear it was going through all those posts with dummies not listing their trucks right, I was seeing 1969 **F150**'s in my 1960-1973 F100 search.
Yep.
I would add that the inner fenders usually rust where the hood hinges attach, and the bottom part of the tailgates usually rust out, and the rear wheel arches(more so on the dentsides)
YES! I missed those. But you are correct.
Bought my ‘72 F100 for $1300 in Oklahoma and shipped it to Texas. Best purchase I’ve ever made! 👊🏻
Nice!! Okie trucks are generally good picks.
@@AutoRestoMod Very little rust when I bought it!
Good to know!
I have not seen one that has not had rust under the bottom of the cab.
I got lucky. My 68 only had the bottom of the cab, and a floor support. Both can be bought for a reasonable price. Otherwise just a few pin holes in the fenders, and rear quarters. And I only paid $500.00 for it in SC. And drove it home to Wisconsin
Great price, sounds like you stole it.
Actually the truck you were looking at at the beginning also had a factory option of an np435 4 speed (3 speed with granny gear) with the shifter in the floor. Also at the front bottom of the bed if it is holding water up there run a putty knife or screwdriver up there were the bed floor meets the bed front and watch what happens, every bump is a drain at the front of the bed they just get clogged really easily.
That is true! Were just pointing out the places that rust when the scuppers get clogged.
@autorestomod where did you find the mirrors that are on this your truck? I can not find them anywhere.
just an fyi- the dentside core support is an easy swap into a bump, only need to drill a few holes for inner fender and hood latch. i put one in my 71.
Would love to know how with some photos. Be a good video on the Colonel. The Core support on it is OK but I feel like if I put new mounts in I might not have the mount holes. If you want to send pics: jford@autorestomod.com
60's & 70's fords the front cab mounts rotted so the doors made contact with the fenders also the 70's fords were notorious with fleetsides coming apart inside the box making it impossible to latch the tailgate most farmers removed the tailgate they made good welding tables. both my 69 f250 & 76 highboy i took the gate off put a net on. my 69 f250 was so bad i always used the skidloader bucket to close the tailgate. rancho the company that makes shocks had truck bed nets for many makes/models
Ahh so that’s why my door rubs my fender even though the door looks straight elsewhere 👀 never knew this one.
All great points.
The prices have been going up on the f-100's for some time now. I had my 68 short box home for about three weeks. I was putting some new bushings in the leaf springs. And had a guy offer me 10k for it once he saw that it was from down south.
Crazy what they are going for now.
Bumpsides are some of the toughest most reliable pickup trucks ever built. If you sit on main street long enough in any City or town in the USA sooner or later a bumpside Ford will Drive by. It may have a giant hole in the muffler and sound like its only running on about 5 to 7 cylinders but it will still be putting in a days work. It may even be a beautiful original or restored example but you will see one or more still on the road in some condition . Theirjust tough
I agree, I saw one at Lowe's one day and said "nice truck". Woulda thought I had two heads. To that guy, it was a work truck.
Since the dent side box is basically the same a couple areas are the ones with the build in tool box is usually toasted and had an issue with the box at the back corners
Miss my high body was a 77 with a 390 someone converted it to a c6 from a 4spd headers and I ditched the 16.5 inchers for 16 inch wagon wheels. Was a rage xlt package.
Forgot 2 other expensive Ford trucks of the era extended cabs and crew cabs. Then add 4 wheel drive and better have deep pockets
Well squatting down for me isn’t an issue, it’s the standing back up part that kills me. Late 60’s early 70’s Fords were rusting as they rolled them out of the factory door, and God help you if it was driven in the north east. I’ve seen trucks in way worse shape than that one
The old man ain't great but we kinda match now...
Love the truck, wish I still had my 68 short bed.
What price ranges are reasonable, I’ll be looking to buy another soon.
Builder trucks can go for between $1000 to $3000. You can find them for cheaper, but it is rare.
I have a spare core support in the storage shed.
Why am I not surprised.
@@AutoRestoMod lol inner fenders, 2 doors and a passenger fender as well.
You missed a spot. Behind the hood hinges. Ford put the hinges on first then painted them. Also they had a rubber pad behind them. So the moisture likes to hide behind the hood hinges
Yep, you are right!
Thats why I own 3. 2 run, 1 for parts
I would love to have the room for more.
Moisture on the inside comes from condensation. Especially something sitting in the hot sun all day, the inside of the vehicle gets good and hot, generating moisture as a byproduct. Then when it cools down at night, this humidity inside the vehicle will condense on the bottom side of the roof skin. Gravity takes over and this water travels to a low spot where it will collect and start the rust process, from the inside-out. One of the major downsides to parking a vehicle outside.
Since you came down last Food Lion has had zero Throwback Mountain Dew...yes, I do check. 😁
So I have single handedly cleaned out the entire state of SC? 🤣
Hi, I'm a disabled vet who is going through the pains of learning on my grandfather, then uncles 1982 Ford f100. I'm at a loss. Iv already put 3000 into this truck and am still fighting every step of the way. I could really use your advice on hunting down a wire that is shooting out my cab light fuse. I could only find one wire that is shorted out, and it goes to the break warning light. I don't know what to do and can't even find its replacement part. I don't even know if that's the thing that is shorting it out. I have watched your videos on the American auto wire harness, and while that would be amazing, I'm out of money to spend on her for now.
Contact me at jford@autorestomod.com and I will send you some ideas.
Nice truck.
Thanks 👍
A friend is trying to convert a 1967 F 100 6 cylinder auto from manual steering to power steering. He is having trouble finding a power steering gear box. Any help is appreciated.
Power boxes are REALLY hard to find right now. No new parts are being reproduced to rebuild them.
Fun Fact... I got both my 72' Camper Special H code 390 :) and my 71' F-100 LB 352 like almost 30 years ago... FREE, just take them clean titles too! I'm fixing up the Camper Special to sell or trade for a F-100 SB w/ 302!
So what do you think a Rust free running Camper Special could be worth?? I live the high desert... nothing rusts out here :)
Very nice! Man I don't know. Depends on a lot of things. The short wheel base trucks are king ( along with the high boys and crew cabs. I'd watch the Ford truck groups on Facebook and patrol Marketplace for a bit. If I had any money I'd be a player.
Got my 71 f-250 three miles away. 72000 original.
That is awesome!
i have a 1953 f100. this underwent an entire restoration. i am happy with the end product but i stop adding up the receipts after about $20,000
This is not a cheap hobby. But unlike horses you can stop feeding it for a while and nobody is going to arrest you.
@@AutoRestoMod yes that is true. I wanted that truck completed. It has been finished for about 2 years now. It is on my CZcams channel. You can see it there.
Did you fix the cab corners. If so how thanks
Not yet, I am still debating this one. Lots work to fix that on the truck.
Deos a 71 need alignment? Because I have a 71 f250 that has a lot of play in the steering any ideas?
Aside from checking all you bushing etc. if you have a lot of steering wheel play there is a screw/bolt setup on the steering gear box of these trucks you loosen the bolt while holding the screw with a flat head then turn the screw 1/4 in and tighten the bolt, if you’re steering is still loose the repeat 1/4 turn at a time also be sure to make sure that your rag joint (rubber disc thing on column just before gearbox)isn’t worn out too before doing this, be sure to check between adjustments though as to not over tighten it and mess something up.
I agree with Ryan to a point. The box will only allow for so much adjustment before the gear starts to wear more quickly. Check all steering components and alignment. Toe is about all most shops can set, but they can let you know what is out of kilter.
When it comes to rust on old vehicles, you really need to pick your battles. Unless the truck has been garaged its entire life it will have rust and it will probably be extensive. The question is how much time and money do you want to spend before you just replace the entire part. My 60’ F-250 has spent the last 40 years in a garage in the desert. Unfortunately the first 20 years of it’s life it was used as a truck. Even being a California vehicle it still has plenty of rust on the lower doors and fenders upper body seams. I’m guessing this was a result of the multiple trips to Canada and Alaska. I was shocked to find this and was also shocked to see how much there was. Even sitting in dry environment the rust still continues to ooze from under the paint... Good luck to anyone restoring one of these rust buckets.
The super clean trucks are getting gone or are done.
Gone are the barn finds if there were ever any with pickup trucks or station wagons. These things were used, abused and driven into the ground. I also think the manufactures went out of their way to create rust pockets. My 72' Chevy was a total mess as they all are and I spend way too much time and money making it perfect, only to have more rust pop up in new places. Great show, keep up the good work.
I picked up a 66 F100 short bed 2 weeks ago. I can’t seem to leave the garage now 😬
I have this problem with the wagon...mostly because I keep doing "While I'm here's".
@@AutoRestoMod true lol
Can you guys please do something with a 78-79 f150 I have a 78 f150 supercab with a 351m that I'm working on
We have a friend locally that is on the hunt for a 76-79. When he gets it, your request may be granted. Also remember that a lot of what we are doing on the F100 will cross over.
@@AutoRestoMod sounds good to me I no about the parts fitting I thank its 73-79 I just like to see you guys working on a dent side as a new project
Got all the parts. Just don't want to mess with it anymore. PASS! Jackson, MS! My neck of the woods almost.
Ooooohhhhkkkkaaaaay.
@@AutoRestoMod Yeah, that didn’t read as well as I had thought it did. Basically saying I see those adds for vehicles where people say : needs a,b and c. I have them but do not want to put them on. That is when I say I will pass on them. Then at the last of your video you mentioned Jackson MS so I threw that in there too that you mentioned my home state. I have to start rereading my comments before I hit send. 😨
Facebook marketplace: "Missing battery. Transmission only goes in reverse, carb needs replacing. Other than that, runs great"
Love the $1234 for a price too. Also: New carb, belts, hoses, breaks (sp) ran when parked. Cam had to tell me that was FB code for negotiable.
Every truck and car I own is 30 years or older, all Ford. I’m trying to decide on buying a 2020 f150 fx4 or just buying another 70 F-series in 4x4. Lol
Bea lot cooler if you got the '70. 🙂
Every marketplace ad I inquire about tells me to email their aunt in Montana and buy eBay gift cards! Lol
Or send us a cashers check to hold the car.
AAND THAT'S WHY I DON'T HAVE STARLINER NOW
MOST PEOPLE WANT TOO MUCH FOR BUCKETS!
love and starliners
We shoulda bought them when they were just old cars. I missed my chance back in '88 to get a big block car converted to a four speed....for $1500.
Jeff remember if you get half of what you put into it then you're ahead of the game.....
Dad always said that old cars were holes in the yard you threw money into, set it on fire and then threw more money onto.
@@AutoRestoMod I never made my money back what I put into any old car I had ever owned. I may on the 85 vette I have. Paid a grand for her and put 3 into it and value is 7. So maybe I'll make a few bucks finally....
One thing that helps sell these trucks is the new trucks are priced in the stratosphere
I was floored at the prices when I did a check recently.
Facebook Marketplace is the new Craigslist.
Very true. Someday I might do a video on FB marketplace and things you need to know.
If you want an 67 F250 feel free to contact me
