#Ford #F100 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
It's a beauty. That's a real pickup truck. Old-school. Would love to own one.
There is a lady around where I live (central TX) that has been driving a early 70s f250 camper special all original since I could remember up until now. Probably 20 years I can remember. she still cruises her truck even though she has to be in her mid 90s
No platinum super duty will ever be as cool as that lady in her truck.
That's a cool truck. 1973-'79 is my favorite generation of Ford trucks.
I'm a youngster, I just picked up an 87 250 with a big ol' 460. Just about everyone I know told me to buy a new truck. fixing my stuff is important to me. I don't regret it one bit!
my Dad owned a 1974 Ford F150 for 20 years of its life. My Mom wanted him to buy the "Candy Apple Red" one with white piping. I recall it had a beigh interior and the word "Custom" on the glove box in chrome. I also recall how it rattled incessantly on the highway only after year two of my Dad's ownership. I was probably 5 or 6 then. He commuted to work and took us to the mall. The Ourey Colorado camping he was younger then in 1975 than I am now. His truck was driven off the showroom floor in late 1973. The Colorado trip required him to "ride" the clutch just to get the torque to climb the steeps in the trip up into thje mountains. I was maybe 4-but remember clearly, my brother was 2 and we road half the trip in the carpeted bed with a camper. My Dad didn't realize you don't drive an In-line 6 2bbl carb three-in-a-tree transmission basic truck into the colorado moujntains. He also told me later he probably needed the carb adjusted. He damaged the clutch, never got it fixed. But managed to use it in all the freeplay for 15 years after that. I learned to drive stick on it and was hard as the clutch had much freeplay. I learned to drive stick at age 14. He gave the truck up to a guy who knew how to modify it to a V8 dually. At the out of town Walmart, I saw it later, it was not the same truck I grew up with. the guy turned it into a flat bed. The engine was obviously changed out as it roared. My Dad just told me, "Its his truck not my business.." and we walked away.
Awesome, I had a 1977 F250 with a 460 and automatic. I converted it to a 4 speed manual. Loved that truck
Your truck is a trip down memory lane. I Had a 77 F250 that I bought new. Simple and rugged!!!
I feel the same way about my 1989 Ford F150. I fully understand
That thing is beautiful. Really cool to see people who keep a vehicle this long.
That's a beautiful truck!
Good story!
I am the original owner of my 1977 K10 Chevy, Even though it only has about 100,000 miles on it it needs a lot of work. Maybe someday I will get started on it. I found the story about this Ford very inspirational.
And with a K10 you'll loose less money on the restoration when you sell...
Best of luck! You have a piece of history on your hands. I know alot of people who would kill for a truck like you have.
I love this original looking 302 V/8 engine pickup truck !! It’s so beautiful !!
Having seen this truck in person, it is just as nice, if not nicer in person. Beautiful truck and a great story to go with.
Wow the owner has done a wonderful job as the custodian of this fine example in Ford truck history! Thanks for keeping it on the road, where it should be.
Amen!
Makes me miss the yellow, 1979 single cab F-150 Custom 4x4 we had growing up. It had the 3 speed automatic and factory AC.
If had several of these trucks over the years. I daily drive a 76 F-100. Love it had it several years. Had lots of people try to buy it. I would not take a new for it. Most dependable vehicle I've ever owned.
Beautiful truck and cool story. I still have my first vehicle, a 73 F-100 i bought in 98 when i was 14 or so. Also restoring a 76 f150 right now, just starting paint work on it.
Best if luck to you! I have a 77 that has some reasonable rust spots and I am in the process of doing the same.
Shes all primer gray right now. Glad to see another person helping keep these beautiful machines on the road.
I absolutely love it! I had a 1974 f100 same color, same truck pretty much. It had a 302 2bbl with a 3 speed on the column and 4 wheel drum brakes. I learned to drive a manual transmission in that truck. It only had about 80k miles on it when I foolishly sold it in the late 90s. It was a fantastic truck. Never really broke down. It did need a thermostat in the real 90s. That's really about it. Loved that truck!
Growing up we had basically the same truck! Ours had the 300 6 cyl and was a short bed. Loved that truck!!
Two things. Love the truck. I had a 76 in the same white with blue interior. Brings back memories. Never should have sold it. Also, love hearing that Maritime Province accent. My grandmother was from Four Falls NB. Still have family there.
I have a 79 my dad helped me buy in 1981 when I got my license. I still have the truck and she's beautiful. Red short bed Ranger xlt Lariat 302. Red interior and all original except the paint . I met my future wife about the same time I got the truck and still have them both but only one i'd never get rid of at any price.😁
43 years and the Ford F100 is still looking nice. It has to be kept in a garage
Nice honest truck.
Thank you for sharing. I love to see these old trucks still on the road. My dad had a 77 f250 that he gave to me before he passed that I’m currently restoring.
Great truck! My dad had a 77 f250 from 1980 to 2012, continuous work use in his business as a contractor. Went 14 years in TX, straight 6 engine rebuilt at 250K, then michigan salt took it down in 8 years. It was the Light Jade Green, single cab, 8 foot bed. Wish he never sold it!
Amazing truck, I’m a Saskatchewan boy and we like our fords. Great work keeping that on the road as no one really dose anymore.
My dad in 1976 bought a new ford F100 pickup that was blue he drove it to work for over thirty years and when I was 18 years old he gave it to me I ended up restoring the truck but unfortunately I sold it a few years ago and I still regret it thank you for sharing your truck with us
What a beautiful truck, the 1973 - 1979 F-Series trucks were the best looking trucks to ever grace the road from ANY brand IMO.
Buddy has absolutely lost his mind. The 67-72 C10s are one of the most iconic body styles in history the squarebody Chevrolet trucks follow that. Hell the 67-72 bumpside fords look a lot better than these trucks
Damn, I have a 79’ f150 that my father helped me buy as a first vehichle. 351m V8. The bed is absolutely rusted out, so I plan to do a wood box as a project with my dad. Wish mine was as good condition as his, but with time and work it’ll be there eventually.
You would be surprised to find a good solid bed if you search all of your local "hole in the wall" scrap yards.
Best of luck with your project though! I'm restoring a 77 with my dad as well.
It's a great bonding experience. Just cherish these times with your old man. It makes the truck so much more special.
Love the look of this pickup much more than the current versions!!!
Clean brother. Looks fantastic. They just don't make them like that anymore. Simple time with more simple people.
Wow, that truck looks great for the age. Love it.
Nova Scotia! Nice truck looks great for its age.
Awesome ! My dad had a black one just like it when we were kids
I still have my "77 F150 short-bed that I bought new in '77. 460 engine, C6 transmission, 3:50 gears Detroit Locker rear differential. Truck is dark brown "Explorer" XLT edition with tan plaid cloth interior.
Great job preserving your truck! Would be cool to see the engine bay.
That was the truck I had, exactly. Same mirrors, same step bumper, 302, vinyl floors and white.
Nic truck, my grand pa had a 1972. It's incredible this survivor from Canada, with all the rust issues due to salty roads.
Beautiful truck and the condition is amazing. Wish you opened the hood though. Thanks for sharing from Sydney Nova Scotia
Awesome show, sir! I simply love the old F’s. We had them here in SA too. Some are still running and doing an honest day’s work.
WOW she is a beauty. I almost had 70 F100 300 6cy 3 on the tree. Wanted the truck so bad.
My first 1976 F100 I got new was a 390FE v8 auto, 2nd one was a 300 big 6 3 on the tree I got from my bro it was 5 yrs old then I kept it 14 yrs both were great trucks
Gorgeous truck!
Beautiful old girl!
Still think these are some of the best looking and best built trucks ever made
Far from the best. But there a classic like anything else
Amazing! I'm so glad to have my 79 250 right now!
Absolutely gorgeous rig you have there sir! What a great history it has too.
Perfect. Love old iron.
Awesome truck.
Lindas camionetas de buena estructura metálica y más seguras exitos con los clásicos saludos desde Ecuador
Nice truck! When he mentioned it was from down east, I was shocked it hadn’t rusted through. Well done rebuild , mild restoration.
Awesome truck! Thanks for sharing.
AWESOME Sir!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
what a nice truck wish i could buy a new one today
Best trucks ever. Especially the mid to late 70’s.
What a beauty, I daily a 79 f250 but it's not quite as nice as this one.
uncle jessie would be proud to drive it
Take care of your stuff and it'll take care of you. Sweet video.
beautiful!
This old Ford is still running strong 43 years later.
I have a old 77 GMC completely original never even had the fuel pump replaced or the carburetor rebuilt. Was a farm truck all of its life still going strong 💪💪. 350/350 4 barrel truck
I had the same hub caps on my 83 F-100
Ooo wow that beautiful congrats 👏 I love it!!!!
Looks like a Ranger, a Raptor, and a couple of Super Duty trucks there as well. Nice fleet sir!
Not a Ranger but a Tacoma but there is a Ranger in the family my daughter recently bought one
Super cool! A great example of a old work truck.
Love my Henry Ford trucks I have a1976F100/302 Windsor V8
Beautiful
amazing! Great truck and what awesome condition
WOW!! Real beauty!
Beautiful!
Very nice truck. My fav fords. 70’s models
Beautiful Ford
I want to find one of these trucks as a project, but relatively clean
whats rare is that your truck has cab lights like on a 3/4 ton truck very nice truck
This is one super awesome truck. Keep it as it is. Do not chop it, do not put big ugly ventilator shaped wheels.
That thing looks brand spanking new!
you hit that mirror on the old Gunningsville Bridge in Moncton? Many a mirror lost there. I briefly worked with forest rangers out of Fredericton a couple years ago, I have some buddies who went to MCFT as well
The mirror arm was damaged before I bought the truck. My father had a summer student working with him that summer and it was he who hit the bridge and you’re 💯 correct about the Gunningsville Bridge! Okay on friends attending MCFT, it’s a great forestry school!
That's a very nice truck 👍
My Papaw had one just like that, that he bought brand new. It was supposed to have been mine when I turned 15 but was stolen a year before that. I would love to find another one but they are hard to come by in this condition.
Nice truck, would have liked to have seen under the hood tho 👍
Wonderful!
nice truck
Nice truck always like that body style . Would have liked to have seen the engine
I wish you would have shown us the engine under the hood. I love these trucks.
It’s covered with rustproofing under the hood and around the engine bay, I’m more concerned with preserving it
That’s awesome!
Back in the day when I truck was a truck. Plain and simple...
Very nice man!
I had a 76 F100 Wimbledon white, 302 auto, almost the exact same truck otherwise. Unfortunately I never had the chance to love it for 40+ years. It was stolen and never recovered.
Ayy im from New Brunswick, not often you see old trucks like that around here. Everything rustes out in like 10 years here
Nice truck.
it beautiful
Good video
he seems to like Fords by the look of other cars, like the old Ford slogan said There 'sure' was a Ford in his future?
Clean Truck
What a great truck, and good story for it too,...well done!
I'll admit I was wishing it had a straight six in that engine bay,..but hey, there's nothing at all wrong with a 302 either. ( It's just that I had a fair bit of 'experience' with the Ford in-line engines
of the day and those engines had some real lugging power, didn't they.
Is that colour called Wimbleton White?
Yes @ Wimbledon White
The 300 six is a true workhorse. That two 5 liter motors were offered is evidence of its respect.
@@timothykeith1367 A 300 C.I.D engine is my favorite, I`d love to be able to find one of those today.
If you could buy a truck like that new today for $20K Canadian they'd sell as many as they could make.
you got that right!
Now that would be awesome brother.
Beautiful old truck! Don’t think I could resist swapping wheels and tires tho...easy upgrade to really enhance the stance and overall look of the truck. Btw, you’re not doing yourself any favors keeping that old plastic bed liner in there, especially if you had some rot under there you were trying to cover up to start with. Those things hold moisture, scrub paint down to bare metal and just beg for more rust.
Beautiful truck. If you ever want to sell it I’ll buy it, I’m in Ontario Canada 👍
Nice truck
Owed my 75 f-100 37 years.
So this truck was $ 5.200,00 in 1977?
In 1977 median money income of US households was $ 13.570,00. So an average US household could, in theory, buy two of these trucks and stil have $ 3.170,00 left (that's 23 % of the total income).
In 2019, median money income of US households was $ 68.703,00. Since the 2019 equivalent Ford F-150 is about $ 30.000,00, the average US household only has $ 8.703,00 left after buying the second truck. That's only 12,6 % of the total 2019 household income. Where it was 23 % in 1977.
Let that sink in.
She’s a beauty
I like how he calls everything a BOX... the beds a box, the tool box is a box. im a box, your a box... don't they have Boxing day in Canada?
