1967 F-250 4x4 Converted Highboy "Bluebird" - 22k Actual Miles!

[@Spankins4853]

What an amazing build! Keeping the truck original while converting to a 4x4 makes a perfect build. Lucky customer will enjoy this beauty for years to come.

[@bumpsidetreasures]

Thank-you! It was our pleasure to build it.

[@ArtOfCappery]

Amazing work. Love how much of the original truck you were able to keep with the great condition it was in! Nicely done

[@bumpsidetreasures]

Much Appreciated!

[@Kincade-101]

I got a 71 camper special. I feel like a king driving it. Well done man. I know the feeling!

[@RobertHolcombe-y3t]

The pleasure of owning a classic truck such as this one, it’s a privilege that can not be taken for granted. If it’s not been restored for show, then use it like a truck but respect it and act like you got some sense. These old trucks are built strong and if treated correctly can last lifetimes. Beautiful truck my friend. Very fortunate.

[@bumpsidetreasures]

Thank-you sir. We love what we do!

Thanks for sharing this interesting video.👍👍

[@stephensaasen8589]

Incredible build! Love these old bumpside Fords. I had a friend whose brother converted a '69 F250 to 4×4. He didn't realize the work that it would take and did all the torching and welding with the cab on. Your way looked much easier.

[@bumpsidetreasures]

Thanks! It was an undertaking!

[@stephensaasen8589]

@@bumpsidetreasures I have a '72 F250 I obtained 30 years ago from my dad's cousin. He bought it new. Ordered it from Van Eaton Ford in Eatonville, WA late spring of 1972. Build date is August '72 which should've made it a '73 dent side but I'm guessing since the order was placed earlier in the year it was made with the '72 body. It's been a great truck. I'm good with 2wd because I've found if you put about 600lbs behind the rear axle in the bed, you won't have much trouble on snow and ice. Of course, it hasn't been driven in winter weather for over 20 years now.

That’s really nice. Good job.

[@izom]

what a fantastic simple truck- no fckn sensors or computers no fckn dashboard

[@bumpsidetreasures]

Yes and no! With this particular build, digital gauges and an ECU controlled throttle body, it is a touch more sensor dependent. :)

Hey Joseph, Nice to put a face to the build. I'm wondering what others you might have in storage just waiting to bring back to life. This is such an awesome teaser. Hmmmm

[@mysteriomarvel933]

Very nice build. My dream truck is the 1965 F250 custom cab camper special model in caribbean turquoise no chrome just Wimbledon white grille and front/rear bumpers. How much did the Bluebird project cost the customer?

[@bumpsidetreasures]

That sounds like a dream build. Cost was lots of patience, and a few $$. :) Every build is different, so give us a call and we can talk through ideas.

[@Pioneer_Classic_Trucks]

Very nice

[@mauriciocastro6363]

Nice work. I'm planning to purchase a truck like this, I don't care if the paint is top quality, but at least with a new or rebuild engine, restored suspension for a safe ride, restored transmission and rust free. My grand pa had a 1972 F-100, sweet memories riding next to him around town me being 5 to 7 years old. I loved that truck, the smell of the interior, the ride, the sound of the V8, the view thru the windsheidl with that unique Ford hood shape. How do you guys work? can you find a truck that is decent for restoration? Or you expect the customer to come with the truck? lease provide contact.

Joseph, You did an amazing job!! Excellent build-out!! Do you rebuild trucks for customers? If so, I have a 1971 F100 Ranger, 3 speed automatic. It’s a 360 engine. It is also a long bed. Can you rebuild my truck? 👍👍

Why not just move the body onto a highboy frame? Am i missing something?

[@bumpsidetreasures]

@@dabrownconservative7843 That the actual truck was all original and only had 22k actual miles..so the choice was made to keep the integrity of that vehicle intact, with it's original drivetrain and frame, and convert into 4x4. Now it's one of the nicest original paint '67 F-250's in the world.. are we missing something?
