Old is for brokos.... I would say I wouldn't buy a newer truck without a plan to make money with it.

Yes I agree. It would be hard to afford a new piece of equipment without some way to help cover costs.

If you can find an honest mechanic and keep up with maintenance there’s no reason to keep a well made truck like a Ford, Chevy, or Toyota for >30 years.

Everybody wants 4x4 so the 2wd's are usually a bargain. IF you can find one of those that's still in halfway straight shape and they aren't asking stupid money for it. Safety/convenience features and the creature comforts are really what sells the new stuff. And most people are just lazy and don't want to be bothered fixing and maintaining vintage stuff. I have a 99 I still run and TBH it costs me money and headaches all the time fixing and updating major components and subsystems. Clutch, transmission, driveline, rear axle, all the wheels and tires, all the brakes....list goes on. Needs a $1000 overhaul of the A/C, needs new ball joints, injectors I's like to get to at some point. On the other hand the new stuff is a $1000 payment forever and there is nothing from any of them that I have complete confidence enough in to sign up for that.
@zacflyer995 күн бұрын
I absolutely agree. One of the reasons these vehicles are / were more affordable is the regulations. DEF, lane assist, adaptive cruise, a third brake light and so much more drives up the prices for consumers. As you said a little bit of maintenance is a welcome replacement to the forever payment. Thank you for your comment.

I went ahead and shelled out a little extra cash to get myself a really clean 97 7.3 and could not be happier! I still spend less than half the price of a new truck, and I get more compliments on driving around a cool old truck than I would spending money on a new one. I can also take the money I would have spent on a newer truck and just put it into modifying it, and doing maintenance on my 97. Cool truck man, and great video!

Old truck that looks sharp and still gets after it 20-30 years later always draws attention. Hard to beat the diesel smell and noise of an older one. Then you throw in some waxed paint and polished aluminum and guys really go nuts.

The 7.3L trucks (both OBS and SD) were limited on towing due to the receiver ford put on being an undersized one. Those trucks are overbuilt and more than capable of towing well over 10,000 pounds if you swap the receiver out for a heavier duty one. Sweet truck though!

My first BMW was $250 and it was awesome. The most expensive vehicle I've ever purchased was still $18k cheaper than the cheapest new F-150. These vehicles aren't "nice" but you don't buy them to be "nice". I could still get new parts for my 1980s cars when I had them. The key is - if you have the space and the ability, you can save a LOT of money. Keep it up!

They are heavy built engines with few real weaknesses. Low tech enough to be easy enough to diagnose and fix yourself in most cases but high tech enough to be a modern electronic controlled engine. All of the best big truck engines were also produced around the same time...Detroit Series 60, Cummins N14, CAT 3406e/C15. Modern ECU controlled engines with zero emissions controls. A 5.9 common rail Cummins with an NV5600 behind it would be my close second choice or maybe that's a toss up.

My hinge has lost all friction, and actually now has resistance at fully open position where it is supposed to lock, and thus springs back to slightly closed. Still usable as a tripod but not on the selfie stick. The hinge screws seem to be fine on both sides, I believe it's the hinge itself. If anyone knows where I can get a replacement hinge, or has a suggestion on frictionizing spray, let me know thanks.

I do have a hinge problem that is slightly different, when I want to opened it has a gap on the camera side with no restrains from the hinge mechanism... and then gets "tight" again to open, knowing that the hinge is working but obviously wobbles back and forth on this gap... it looks like a cracked bolts slot or a loose set of the bolts but seeing this footage I just realize that I can't tight them down again without partially destroy the case... =(
