They respect my truck a bit better though since It survived me as a 16 year old and I still have it 17 years later

As someone who has a classic truck built almost exactly like the one in this video just smaller tires but the same size rims and same lift I think I love this.
Why do you have the same lift on smaller tires? The only reason to lift a truck is to clear bigger tires and you want the minimum amount of lift to clear the tires because it hurts your trucks performance drastically I had 42" tires on my 460 big block f100 and four wheel steering and found my 10" lift was too much

I used to have an 81 CJ with some holes in the floorboards. That was were half my trash wound up falling through. The wind would toss things around and blow until they worked there way out. Figured it out after my maglite and some tools bounced through one day and I heard them hit.
I would take the ‘no bells and whistles’ of the 70’s FORD any day! My stepdad had a ‘76 F250 lifted with 42” monster mudders and a 351 Cleveland…that was a going son-of-a-bitch 😉
I had a 77 econoline, we took out the 351M and stuck in a 429 from a wrecked torino. My favorite part was seeing import guys showing off in the parking lots and laying down burnouts with the tires smoking in a van big enough to haul their cars in
@@hellhound1389 I was blessed to own several.of the late 60s and 70s Ford F150s and F250s but never had a 4x4 until 2000. In 2000 I bought a '96 F250 Off Road with the 351 Windsor and a Western Plow. I only plowed family's driveways and a couple friend's with it. Took that truck all over the eastern half of the USA. Got around 12 mpg no matter if it was empty or loaded. A my 60s and 70s trucks had the 390 FE or 360 motors and the C6 trannies and the '69 F100 with the three on the tree. I learned how to drive in a three on the tree F150 so When I went over the road in a semi I was pretty primed for all the shifting I had to do.
@@justinlang8011 yeah…I think so, he took it to a place (way back in mid to late 70’s) that built “ASS KICKIN’ 4 X 4’s”. Lifted it a little, bigassed meats and a ripping engine. Not a FORD guy by any means but, know it was a Cleveland for he bragged over beers and t’killya all the time to his buddies.
I'm retired now, but back in the day I wanted a truck like that old Ford so much! Just didn't know the right people to get it built cheap, and I wanted to keep my day job. My hunting buddies just climbed in and 'went', wherever and on demand. No back corner of a distant field or shallow swamp was too for these ocean clippers of the field!
Hey, I heard a euphemism one time that says "Not driving classic cars everyday is like not screwing a woman to keep her pristine for the next guy." I daily drive these classics, a lincoln mark v 77, and soon a Ford f150 custom 78 to boot.
I've had and regret selling, a Mighty 76 and a Mighty 79. I was the guy the jeep girls would call to get them out of the mud. I have hooked up and pulled a 70 foot single wide out of the brush, then turned it into a 2 Derby car hauler. It got between 4 to 7 miles to the gallon with or without 20,000 lbs behind it. Trucks were trucks back then, even Chevys were beastly, sorry dodge.
@@daviddubose8804 I worked for Chrysler back in the early 90's sad thing is, Ford owned a part of Cummins from early mid 90s to like 2015. They didn't put better products into the competition. It was more a control thing. Not saying anything bad about Cummins, definitely a good product. But, how many Dodge tow trucks did you see during those years? Frames were too weak. I know I've replaced lots of them. Dodge now I believe is better than they were.
I miss the old days. Trucks in the 70's and 80's where very simplistic compared to the newer computer run everything version today. Then you needed a wrench, screw driver, hammer and maybe a socket wrench. Today , you need a programmer, a 15 year old to run it, and a fist full of cash for those costly but cheap plastic parts.
Hardee's has ruined everything except for their breakfast. With that being said, somehow they're working on a way to screw up eggs, sausage, biscuits, and coffee. Bonus points if you're old enough to remember how good Hardee's fried chicken was.
Hardee’s literally sucks soo bad they closed every one down in Knoxville tn and where I live in Clinton tn there are maybe one tops which is about to close just like Denny’s and Pizza Hut
@@ashleysimmons4916 come on now..they have charbroiled burgers made with good beef. I refuse to waste a meal in the life I have left with a nasty fried burger.

I remember sitting in my grandpa's classic truck when I was little: The seats were uncomfortable, there was no AC, the radio was archaic, which probably doesnt matter as the thing was so damn loud you couldnt hear it anyway. And a rather lovely eagle mural in the back window. RIP
This is where memories are made..... old truck may not be as Comfortable as a newer truck, but it's more of a real truck than these new trucks will ever be
@@mewmewdesigns895 watch it now, bud. Don't talk smack about my dodge. Granted, there's no way in hell that I can pass a fuel station, but I can pull your house off its foundation.🤣😂🤣
I like the old truck better myself. I used to own something in between. A 1985 camper special truck it had a very luxurious interior for the time period, but it was a 1 ton with a 460 under the hood, it definitely still was a mean looking truck.
My soon to be 49yo a$$ has really come to appreciate them heated seats and i love remote start😂 the old square bodies and dentsides will always hold a special place with me😊
I tell you what trucks back then were lead sleds and solid as a oak tree. Hell you hit a squirrel in the new aluminum duty trucks it does 10k damage the old ones just buff the bumper out.
I have a 66 C10, someone slid around a corner in the snow and hit the rear corner hard enough to push the truck a foot and a half laterally. It totalled the front of their car (ripped through the bumper, fenders, hood, headlight, and radiator) and my bumper sustained a dent about an inch wide. The worst part about the new vehicles is the bumpers, which have historically been designed to "bump" into things and be ok (cheap to manufacture and install, robust and durable) have all become so done up with sensors that it costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Panels on new trucks are way stronger than on old truck. Just because it's aluminum it doesn't mean it's not strong. Aluminum part can be made stronger than steel yet still lighter. The bigger problem what if you hit a semi instead of squirrel that's when real strength is shown in new one you won't even feel the crash.
@@dkdanis1340 the body is most definitely not stronger on new vehicles. If you want to argue that the passengers inside are safer, then that's fair. But the way they did that is crumple zones and letting the car absorb the energy, and it uses deformation of the car to do it. But if you've ever seen a crash with an old vehicles vs a new one you can tell for a fact the old vehicle takes way less damage. I once saw a new f250 get in a headlong collision with an 80s Ford pickup, and the f250 was completely totalled. The front end had collapsed, the engine was underneath the cab (which it's designed to do), and it was undrivable. The old Ford pickup, after getting out and looking at his crooked bumper and checking to make sure the other people were ok, was able to drive away from the accident. The driver of the old truck took more impact, but the truck itself survived significantly better
@@imthedarknight-8755 look at any old vs new crash test old vehicle crumbles like tin can. Crumple zone will only deform in a crash. 40 mph hit will destroy any vehicle old or new so it absolutely doesn't matter if other vehicle is damaged less or more but absorbing as much of the shock as possible is very important. At any crash test old vehicle crumbles altogether with roof and front end while new vehicle makes sure cabin zone stays intacted and the front takes the impact. I have seen so many newer cars still being drivable after crash while old one is mangled. Keep in mind that the whole crumple zone helps whole body with rigidity and it's very stiff i would say even stiffer than old car but it made to exponentially absorb impact and crash has lots of impact so it crumbles it so you can imagine crazy force that can deform it. Now that all depends from vehicle to vehicle there are many old cars with their type of crumple zone and other things. There's a video of a tesla that hit safety rail by the road at 110 mph and after that full head on. The whole front end was destroyed but it drives no problem steering works.
@@bensrestorations5250 True but since then I've seen a few of those 429s set up that way in T-birds and at least one mid 70s Gran Torino and Cougar and man could they fly! Had a supervisor with a 66 T-bird with that set up and one morning I saw him getting off the freeway onto the main drag to work. I was driving my wife's 75 Olds Cutlass with a 350 Rocket. I punched that thing and took her as fast as she could go and my boss passed me a few seconds later like I was going backwards at 100mph! When I got to work he said "What took you so long? I've been here for 10 minutes already."😂😂😂 Then years later I stopped by his house for a visit and he had a 64 Falcon with a built 289 Hipo in it and he wanted me to buy it for $1800 buy I didn't have the money. Oh well...those were some good old times I tell ya.
I wouldn't. 1,000 ft lbs from that Powerstroke, it will out haul the big block every day. Playing in the dirt is for 1/2 ton trucks and smaller. Everything bigger than 1/2 should be used just for work.
I have 1978 F150 dent side that I love. but I also have 1981 F250 bullnose 4x4. with a 300c.i. 4.9L inline six and a four speed that is bulletproof. those were probably the toughest truck ever made. but I really love that 79 that Ginger Billy has in this video. that truck is no doubt BAD ASS. even if I would have to keep a step ladder handy.
@@TinyDragon So when the electronics fail it'll at least be a nice looking obstacle, eh? Lol....all jokes aside, let one of these new trucks sit outside in the elements for thirty years without ever moving or even starting and see if you can get it running again without spending a fortune in time and money.
@@Moe_Fogerty with all the fancy electronics it won’t make it thirty years out in the elements I agree, but it is a damn nice ride while new! i don’t leave any of my vehicles out in the elements and thankfully I don’t have to worry about keeping my vehicles this long. If i had to keep a vehicle 30 years I would probably just get a tractor lol.
True, my rusty yet trusty trucks would out pull haul and last any modern truck. When I see a new truck go 500k miles on original engine and trans then I will be impressed
@@hellhound1389 true. My 1985 ford f150 with her 351 windsor even pisses modern sports cars off. My built engine smokes the hell out of just about anything short of a 1,000hp. Old farm truck hauls ass and cargo at the same time. And it's the original block. Wouldn't trade her for any new vehicle.
I drive a 64 C10 every day. Love it. Awesome video. Wing windows and the feel of an old thin steering wheel with the little nibs on the back can't be beat. A pair of cherry bombs rumbling at 2500 rpm is nice too.
@@rldowns3 it's a fact that modern cars and trucks are safer, look up crash tests, the difference is scary. I appreciate classic cars and trucks and I think we should preserve them but they are not safe in comparison.
I gotta say, "I have enjoyed my old FORD trucks" the best and still do. First vehicle: 1953 F100. I've had now for 41 years. Flathead. Love it. 1962 F100 Unibed. I've had it for 3 years. 1989 F350 7.3. One month and love it. If course, I had other FORD trucks but, nothing newer than 2008. Give me old school vent windows. Simple to work on.....and CHEAPER! They aren't as smooth or comfy as a new one but, I like them better. I've noticed they garner more appreciation from on-lookers. People seem to really dig old school.
older trucks have personality and character, new trucks all look the same from a couple metres away... you can see (and hear) an old effy coming from ages away
I wish old ones were cheaper lol. They’re starting to get up there in price up north here. Sure they’re cheaper than brand new but a clean OBS will go for more than a clean 07 sometimes. Shit there’s a guy near me asking 47k for a 98 ram
@@ridewithme3428 Their cost is rising that's true but, I compared my 1989 F350 with only 85,000 miles to a newer one with 85,000 miles and the price is way cheaper for the 33 year old truck. AND it garners the appreciation before a newer one. Old school is simply cooler. Oh....also, my '89 increases in value each year while the newer truck goes down. Give me old school.
The classic truck guy does have a good point about newer vehicles relying more and more on computers and electronics. A emp blast would completely fry modern day vehicles.

recently bought myself a 96 f350 flatbed and am absolutely loving the reliving of my wingwindow nostalgia
We had an '89 Econoline with them. Best feature on a vehicle ever.

That old Ford looks good. 👌
44s look bigger with someone standing next to them and they make 15" wheels look like 10"
Ford can make anything look good
I would take the ‘no bells and whistles’ of the 70’s FORD any day! My stepdad had a ‘76 F250 lifted with 42” monster mudders and a 351 Cleveland…that was a going son-of-a-bitch 😉
I had a 77 econoline, we took out the 351M and stuck in a 429 from a wrecked torino. My favorite part was seeing import guys showing off in the parking lots and laying down burnouts with the tires smoking in a van big enough to haul their cars in
@@hellhound1389 I was blessed to own several.of the late 60s and 70s Ford F150s and F250s but never had a 4x4 until 2000. In 2000 I bought a '96 F250 Off Road with the 351 Windsor and a Western Plow. I only plowed family's driveways and a couple friend's with it. Took that truck all over the eastern half of the USA. Got around 12 mpg no matter if it was empty or loaded. A my 60s and 70s trucks had the 390 FE or 360 motors and the C6 trannies and the '69 F100 with the three on the tree. I learned how to drive in a three on the tree F150 so When I went over the road in a semi I was pretty primed for all the shifting I had to do.
Yell yes sir!! Nice rig
A 351C? Was it swapped? I remember they only had the 351M or the 351W for the trucks.
@@justinlang8011 yeah…I think so, he took it to a place (way back in mid to late 70’s) that built “ASS KICKIN’ 4 X 4’s”. Lifted it a little, bigassed meats and a ripping engine. Not a FORD guy by any means but, know it was a Cleveland for he bragged over beers and t’killya all the time to his buddies.
I'm retired now, but back in the day I wanted a truck like that old Ford so much! Just didn't know the right people to get it built cheap, and I wanted to keep my day job. My hunting buddies just climbed in and 'went', wherever and on demand. No back corner of a distant field or shallow swamp was too for these ocean clippers of the field!
That old Ford is my favorite body style. That truck short box and a set of 35's and a roll bar, done!
If I had the money, I'd own both. The classic as my Sunday cruiser and the modern one as my daily. The modern one is easier to replace.
Gotta say, with drivers getting worse by the year, ease of replacement gets more important.
Hey, I heard a euphemism one time that says "Not driving classic cars everyday is like not screwing a woman to keep her pristine for the next guy." I daily drive these classics, a lincoln mark v 77, and soon a Ford f150 custom 78 to boot.
I've had and regret selling, a Mighty 76 and a Mighty 79. I was the guy the jeep girls would call to get them out of the mud. I have hooked up and pulled a 70 foot single wide out of the brush, then turned it into a 2 Derby car hauler. It got between 4 to 7 miles to the gallon with or without 20,000 lbs behind it. Trucks were trucks back then, even Chevys were beastly, sorry dodge.
Old dodge with a Cummins turbo sry will smoke any truck! And the old style 80s model!!
@@daviddubose8804 I worked for Chrysler back in the early 90's sad thing is, Ford owned a part of Cummins from early mid 90s to like 2015. They didn't put better products into the competition. It was more a control thing. Not saying anything bad about Cummins, definitely a good product. But, how many Dodge tow trucks did you see during those years? Frames were too weak. I know I've replaced lots of them. Dodge now I believe is better than they were.

"Boy, is this thing a truck or is it a HIL-ton MOTE-el?!"
I miss the old days. Trucks in the 70's and 80's where very simplistic compared to the newer computer run everything version today. Then you needed a wrench, screw driver, hammer and maybe a socket wrench. Today , you need a programmer, a 15 year old to run it, and a fist full of cash for those costly but cheap plastic parts.
I enjoy good clean comedy, thanks for the smiles,
For those who don't know, that Hardee's line still rings true today as it did 26 years ago and I'm 31.
Depends....around here it's Bojangles.
Hardee's has ruined everything except for their breakfast. With that being said, somehow they're working on a way to screw up eggs, sausage, biscuits, and coffee.
Bonus points if you're old enough to remember how good Hardee's fried chicken was.
Hardee’s literally sucks soo bad they closed every one down in Knoxville tn and where I live in Clinton tn there are maybe one tops which is about to close just like Denny’s and Pizza Hut

I like the old truck better myself. I used to own something in between. A 1985 camper special truck it had a very luxurious interior for the time period, but it was a 1 ton with a 460 under the hood, it definitely still was a mean looking truck.
My soon to be 49yo a$$ has really come to appreciate them heated seats and i love remote start😂 the old square bodies and dentsides will always hold a special place with me😊
I tell you what trucks back then were lead sleds and solid as a oak tree. Hell you hit a squirrel in the new aluminum duty trucks it does 10k damage the old ones just buff the bumper out.
I have a 66 C10, someone slid around a corner in the snow and hit the rear corner hard enough to push the truck a foot and a half laterally. It totalled the front of their car (ripped through the bumper, fenders, hood, headlight, and radiator) and my bumper sustained a dent about an inch wide.
The worst part about the new vehicles is the bumpers, which have historically been designed to "bump" into things and be ok (cheap to manufacture and install, robust and durable) have all become so done up with sensors that it costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Panels on new trucks are way stronger than on old truck. Just because it's aluminum it doesn't mean it's not strong. Aluminum part can be made stronger than steel yet still lighter. The bigger problem what if you hit a semi instead of squirrel that's when real strength is shown in new one you won't even feel the crash.
And you had a steel dash board, not the cheap plastic crap!! of today's vehicles.
@@dkdanis1340 the body is most definitely not stronger on new vehicles. If you want to argue that the passengers inside are safer, then that's fair. But the way they did that is crumple zones and letting the car absorb the energy, and it uses deformation of the car to do it. But if you've ever seen a crash with an old vehicles vs a new one you can tell for a fact the old vehicle takes way less damage. I once saw a new f250 get in a headlong collision with an 80s Ford pickup, and the f250 was completely totalled. The front end had collapsed, the engine was underneath the cab (which it's designed to do), and it was undrivable. The old Ford pickup, after getting out and looking at his crooked bumper and checking to make sure the other people were ok, was able to drive away from the accident. The driver of the old truck took more impact, but the truck itself survived significantly better
@@imthedarknight-8755 look at any old vs new crash test old vehicle crumbles like tin can. Crumple zone will only deform in a crash. 40 mph hit will destroy any vehicle old or new so it absolutely doesn't matter if other vehicle is damaged less or more but absorbing as much of the shock as possible is very important. At any crash test old vehicle crumbles altogether with roof and front end while new vehicle makes sure cabin zone stays intacted and the front takes the impact. I have seen so many newer cars still being drivable after crash while old one is mangled. Keep in mind that the whole crumple zone helps whole body with rigidity and it's very stiff i would say even stiffer than old car but it made to exponentially absorb impact and crash has lots of impact so it crumbles it so you can imagine crazy force that can deform it. Now that all depends from vehicle to vehicle there are many old cars with their type of crumple zone and other things. There's a video of a tesla that hit safety rail by the road at 110 mph and after that full head on. The whole front end was destroyed but it drives no problem steering works.
Do any other wives yell out to their husbands from the bedroom "hey hun, there's a new Ginger Billy out!"?

@@littleshepherdfarm2128 and carry you straight to Jesus!!! 100 was sketchy back when 35”s was “big”
@@bensrestorations5250 True but since then I've seen a few of those 429s set up that way in T-birds and at least one mid 70s Gran Torino and Cougar and man could they fly! Had a supervisor with a 66 T-bird with that set up and one morning I saw him getting off the freeway onto the main drag to work. I was driving my wife's 75 Olds Cutlass with a 350 Rocket. I punched that thing and took her as fast as she could go and my boss passed me a few seconds later like I was going backwards at 100mph! When I got to work he said "What took you so long? I've been here for 10 minutes already."😂😂😂 Then years later I stopped by his house for a visit and he had a 64 Falcon with a built 289 Hipo in it and he wanted me to buy it for $1800 buy I didn't have the money. Oh well...those were some good old times I tell ya.
@Jim jibroni Canada is part of America since America is a continent
I wouldn't. 1,000 ft lbs from that Powerstroke, it will out haul the big block every day. Playing in the dirt is for 1/2 ton trucks and smaller. Everything bigger than 1/2 should be used just for work.
Thank God for Ginger Billy!
I have 1978 F150 dent side that I love. but I also have 1981 F250 bullnose 4x4. with a 300c.i. 4.9L inline six and a four speed that is bulletproof. those were probably the toughest truck ever made. but I really love that 79 that Ginger Billy has in this video. that truck is no doubt BAD ASS. even if I would have to keep a step ladder handy.
In 40 years, that old truck will still exist...that new truck will rot and the plastic will literally fall into pieces
as a new truck owner I disagree… the body of mine is Aluminum- rust proof. now the electronics may fail but the body is better ;)
@@TinyDragon So when the electronics fail it'll at least be a nice looking obstacle, eh? Lol....all jokes aside, let one of these new trucks sit outside in the elements for thirty years without ever moving or even starting and see if you can get it running again without spending a fortune in time and money.
@@Moe_Fogerty with all the fancy electronics it won’t make it thirty years out in the elements I agree, but it is a damn nice ride while new! i don’t leave any of my vehicles out in the elements and thankfully I don’t have to worry about keeping my vehicles this long. If i had to keep a vehicle 30 years I would probably just get a tractor lol.

@@hellhound1389 not in our lifetime
Those "Rust Buckets" will be around long after all new cars are sent to the junk yard.
True, my rusty yet trusty trucks would out pull haul and last any modern truck. When I see a new truck go 500k miles on original engine and trans then I will be impressed
@@hellhound1389 true. My 1985 ford f150 with her 351 windsor even pisses modern sports cars off. My built engine smokes the hell out of just about anything short of a 1,000hp. Old farm truck hauls ass and cargo at the same time. And it's the original block. Wouldn't trade her for any new vehicle.

I wish old ones were cheaper lol. They’re starting to get up there in price up north here. Sure they’re cheaper than brand new but a clean OBS will go for more than a clean 07 sometimes. Shit there’s a guy near me asking 47k for a 98 ram
@@ridewithme3428
Their cost is rising that's true but, I compared my 1989 F350 with only 85,000 miles to a newer one with 85,000 miles and the price is way cheaper for the 33 year old truck. AND it garners the appreciation before a newer one.
Old school is simply cooler.
Oh....also, my '89 increases in value each year while the newer truck goes down. Give me old school.
I went to an Aaron Tippin concert and he said he still loves working on his old trucks. He said his neighbors look down on him.
