[@1Corinthians15-1-4-J]

i do miss the days seeing these old trucks all over the road. when i was 17 i bought a old farm truck 78 f150, lb had 460ci in it. was beat up. but run like a champ. farmer for it from for $100 he said it runs and drives. dont stop good. didnt leak no smoke. solid old truck. man it would lay some rubber to,hahahha he told me it had over 200k mls but was closer to 300k. he wasnt sure anymore. i didnt care a lick. i beat hell out that truck and it kept going. finely sold it a few yrs later for $300 still running, but id got newer truck and it was sittin around rotting. a kid bought it and put alot money into it. he turned into a rat rod type. it was badass. nvr got pic though, did ride in it once after he finished with it

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jason, I have a feeling you are ready for another old Ford truck...just sayin'....You only live once my Friend. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@Kickinpony66]

That's a good bit of weight to have on that Allis Chalmers! Cool F-250! I'm sure the folks from over-seas will love driving it!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Have to work with you've got. My old forklift "Tug" is out of service right now. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@Kickinpony66]

Yep! Glad you're feeling better!

[@bigassfordsd]

I love those 70's Fords. My favorite trucks of all time.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

They have a huge following. Lots of people like 'em. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@nitrosport5]

looks like a pretty clean ford truck. its gotta be so cool for those people overseas to come drive across america in some classic iron!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It really is in nice shape compared to the other ones I've looked at. I think they will love it. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@LoneRevD]

Really nice old f250. I had to maintain a small number of those for a electrical contractor back around then. Outside of a battery, oil and filters, tunes and the occasional carb rebuild they were pretty good old work trucks, hard to kill. That one is in really good shape, nice score.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I have heard from a lot of people who swear by these old Fords. Must be pretty good rigs. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@joshdemmitt795]

That old Ford is nice. Best of luck with your tent project.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Josh. I think it will serve my needs for now. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@joshdemmitt795]

glad to see some other than gm products on toe classic truck ranch. FoMoCo 4 the win. lol -Maverick

[@tyronecraft3924]

Thanks for feeding the Ford addiction Rick! Awesome.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'm trying to help feed the Studebaker addiction....wish that guy would respond to my emails...Haha. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@tyronecraft3924]

I want that 72 Ranchero! Can't find them that good on the East Coast.

[@unclebuck9861]

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank YOU Uncle Buck and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@randybutler6717]

[@shakerattleandrollgarage7223]

Glad you're sounding alot better there Rick.. I like that shop in a box, hope it works for ya ✌

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Getting better each day my Friend. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@pearsonba350]

Another great video... And good luck to Jamie on her driver's test! Them little kids are in for a heck of a ride!!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I agree. They have no idea what they are in for. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@jasonbush8148]

Earlier today I was thinking about classic truck rescue and wondering how things were going... Thank you for another great video. Take care!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Fer thinking of us and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@charlesdyer2376]

Every one that's ever owned a boat has a few expensive stories to tell. nice ol ford 250 pick-um-up.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes they do. Thank you Charles and Thanks Fer Watchin' again. -Rick

[@motorhead6763]

Jamie will be the coolest bus driver ever? Kids will want to tour your ranch for field trips. :)

[@realanimal3602]

Wow this takes me back. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and my dad was a ford man. I think he owned at some point every version of this truck. I tell you a 70's f250 with air and cruise was a rare critter around here. I've seen more unicorns then a 70's f250 setup like this one. Looks pretty solid, seems like the drivers side floors where always bad around here. I've never seem one with rust on the ceiling like that, seems kinda odd to me. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I agree. I've looked at a bunch of them and was actually suprised to see the A/C and cruise on it. Somebody really ordered this one up. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@moosiem60]

I thout the ranger was just the little trucks tell I seen it on the dash. that's how much I pay attention to change lol congratulation on Jamie getting her cdl. great video rick

[@jamesbraun9842]

STEVE MILLER They started off bigger but became their own model

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Steve. She takes her final test Sunday. She's really excited. Yeah, the Ranger was a full-size model long before the little ones came along. Thanks Fer Watchin' again. -Rick

[@sammyfox3022]

love the truck ricky keep up the good work

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I will Sammy. Thanks Fer Watchin' Again my Friend. -Rick

[@Greatday68]

That is a very nice 77 and a half F250, Sound like a 460 engine, It's not easy finding one in that good of condition fully loaded.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You're right, its got the 460. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@t.w.milburn8264]

'mornin, Rick Jamie & Annabella; Some slick lil F-250 Hope the customers enjoy the US-Tour. Sad to hear 'bout them B's. Stay-Frosty Friends ATB Terry God Bless

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Good news, after I read your comment I just called Victor, (he owns the bees) he said the bees were fine, but he just moved them because he was worried about our property flooding. The bees will be brought back in Spring. God Bless you too Terry. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@allenlaidacker]

well that;s a nice ford you rescued had one just like it back in the day

[@gosportjamie]

That's a really nice old Ford. I bet your customer will be well pleased with that one. I reckon a lot of Ford guys would have been very happy to find that one as usually they seem to be very rusty, even dry state examples. And it's another Ford product from the '70s that someone ticked a fair few boxes on the options list when they bought it, A/C, cruise control, two-tone paint, it seems to be becoming a pattern with you, after Angus. I wouldn't be surprised if it really is 22,000 miles, or 122,000 miles and very well cared-for, that wasn't a great period for build quality with any manufacturer really, but the interior (and pedal rubbers) was just too good for it to have done many miles...

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yeah, if its not a low-miler, there's no doubt they weren't abusive miles. You can really tell when an old truck has been loved and well cared-for. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@gosportjamie]

+Classic Truck Rescue Yes, absolutely. If you take the time to learn what to look for you can tell a whole lot about how a vehicle has been used and looked after even if you don't have loads of paperwork to look at...

[@warrentopping5764]

excellent mechanical content.....just found channel and subscribed...wish I still had my 1971 c20.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks for subscribing Warren. Glad to have you on Board. -Rick

[@mikeydsgarage6938]

wow rick that trucks a beauty nice find, bigg fan of those year fords had a 79 bronco and she's a 250 niceee

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

This one really gave me a new appreciation for the early to mid 70's Fords. Pretty cool. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Very nice Ranger.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It really is. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@alexwalzak7119]

great to see both of you back up and moving. awesome to hear that you are feeling better,Rick. congratulations Jamie,I Hope that you have a great time driving your bus(and from the perspective of the student the Frieghtliner is the best choice). that is a beautiful Ford but I hope for yours and Arts sake that that truck is solid, the way fords are engineered and designed it is a pain to fix a lot of things. I just replaced my thermostat today(thank god that is my problem with over heating and nothing else) and I spent a good 45 minute carving up my hands trying to put it back in. sorry to hear about the bees

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

This one is VERY solid Alex. I think he's going to be pretty happy with it. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@MrBeefsteak6]

congrats on getting your licence Jamie, I lived in an old 48 passenger international gasser hippie bus for a bit when I was younger. busses are bitchin

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jamie said thank you, just went out the door to get her final behind the wheel training done. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@lsrx101]

I'm happy to see you folks recovering from the winter setbacks and making improvements at the ranch. I'm sure that I could never do what you have done there so far. Congrats to Jamie. She's going to be the coolest bus driver ever. :) That is a really nice example of a 73-79 Ford truck. We very rarely see survivors that clean here in Ohio these days. Nicely optioned, too. I couldn't make out the tag on the fender but it's either a Trailer Special or Camper Special. (since the bumper looks like a factory piece and has the trailer plug, I'm guessing TS). Those models had upgrades tailored to those applications. Really nice find. Ya know, fer a Chevy guy, you sure seem to have quite a few Fords rolling in there. Lol. Kidding, of course, They're all cool. Keep up the good work and Thanks Fer Sharin'.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Its a Camper Special. I agree, I think Jamie is going to be a very cool bus driver. I'm thinking someone probably kept this F250 in a garage, or under a carport at the least. It really is in great condition compared to the others I looked at. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@lsrx101]

Take a look on the left frame rail near the front of the bed. There should be a wiring connector there for camper wiring. There was originally a pigtail provided to connect the truck to the camper, but those are usually long gone by now. They turn up now and then though. Part number C8TZ13A576B. It's possible that someone used the pigtail to run the wiring back to the bumper connector, I saw that a couple of times back in the day. I hope this makes your project a little easier.

[@motorhead6763]

Meant coolest bus driver ever!!!! No ?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I think Jamie is going to be awesome. She's great with kids and absolutely loves to drive big stuff. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@charleswillsonpeale5739]

Ya think with that boat sitting there he thought it was a flood plane ? LOL

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Haha. You may have a very good point there my Friend. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@chrissteeg7350]

Nice old Ford,ive driven a couple of european Fords back in the 90s this one you dont have to do a lot of work too tho...nice

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Always makes it nice when they don't need much. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@71_sears97]

Wow that 77 F250 is in amazing condition especially considering what I've seen here in the Midwest! Not many are still in that kind of shale anywhere these days. My neighbor has a 77 F250 Highboy 4x4 and its the best truck I've seen in WI but it's had a hard life as a plow truck. Cheers!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It's a good one. Cheers to you as well my Friend. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@derekthorne3915]

love to listen to those allis chalmers run

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

One guy sure didn't. Haha. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Sweet looking truck. I've always liked the 1976-77 Ford F250-F350 trucks. They'd be perfect for either carrying a camper in or towing a travel trailer. My grandparents had one when I was a boy. I can't remember whether it was an F250 or an F350, either a Camper Special, a *Super* Camper Special, or even a Trailer Special.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

My parents had a 72 Chevy pickup with a Camper on it when I was a kid. Funny how what our parents and Grandparents drove evokes fond memories in us. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@jasoncarpp7742]

You're welcome. I know what you mean. My dad had a 1970 Chevy CST 10 pickup truck when I was a boy. Where are you located?

[@frankirwin2377]

I Like those 72 Chevys.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

So do I. I also love the 1970-72 GMC truck.

[@scoldeddogproduction]

I just found your channel yesterday. Awesome channel. I'm in Washington so I really enjoy seeing your local finds. About bees, plant lavender and you'll have plenty of bees. They love lavender and it grows really well in the PNW. Hope that helps.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks for the tip about the bees and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@derekthorne3915]

looks like i need to take a trip out west the trucks out there are in a lot better shape than those around me

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

They don't use salt on our roads out here, which helps. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@johnnyhawkins5061]

Dek Thorne Amen brother!!!

[@granttabor1338]

Loved the video, had the same make, model etc other than mine was blue and white with blue interior.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I really like this truck too. I'm learning a lot more about some of the common issues Fords have and from what I've seen, this one is in really great shape. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@GarnettM]

Rick all you need is a PCE.of arborite on the inside roof ,Man alive I've had 34 of these trucks I did what your doing with the GMC trucks fix and repair ,I see the oil pressure is high at cold that's good it should drop to about half when warm ,Check the back of the heads see if it has a crossover cooling pipe for the EGR the California emissions will have it this will make the exaust snap the pipe can be pinched and folded over to stop the sound till fixed ,I've had Ford's from 67 to 94 .

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'm familiar with that crossover pipe. As I recall, they rarely come off in one piece. Sounds like you have tons of Ford experience. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@GarnettM]

Classic Truck Rescue Very much ,I still have box's of parts ,front gear carriers diffs ,starters ,alt. CDI box's, bolts ,grills brakes , I quit running them

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Probably a lot of guys that would love to take those boxes off your hands.

[@GarnettM]

Classic Truck Rescue People don't run the old trucks as much here now the salt eats the box corners and Wheel wells up hard to get parts but they want parts for nothing when they do ask ,It's nice to see one in good shape like that one ,You have to wash down inside the box holes to remove the gravels that's what the holes are there for and in the cab corners there's rubber plugs that remove bottom doors have holes .

[@shieldsjohnjr]

I saved a really nice 79 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT Supercab that was 3 days away from the crusher. I'd dare say it was almost nicer than this one. The previous owner "donated" it to the wrecking yard and they were just going to crush it.

[@masonparker2862]

I love your Allis Chalmers

[@chevylandt.v]

Cool I got a 73 ,360 with dual thrush glass packs

[@allyouneed71]

FORD NOOOOOO....just kidding...I'm not truckist.....I hope clean up is going well.....I love these old rangers too

[@curtisking5095]

hey Jamie I'm very proud of you for getting your CDL to drive a school bus I've been driving a school bus for 12 years now and I drive a special needs for the last two years and I drive a 40 passenger handicap bus with a wheelchair lift and it is what they call a Freightliner / Thomas C2 I have a Caterpillar engine in my bus with the Allison Transmission and it's real powerful but anyway I just wanted to drop you a line I'm one of your subscribers and I have a KZbin channel called All the king's horses so if y'all want to check it out. Look for a guy in suit next to a Blue PT cruiser. Enjoy your videos.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jamie said Thank You Curtis. She said the funny thing is that the short bus is the hardest one for her to drive. She is very short and her feet barely reach the pedals, even with the seat all the way forward. We will check out your channel. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@bronc02]

Really nice truck,wish you could have showed the other one behind it to.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I guess I should've thought about filming the other ones. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Thanks Fer Watchin' Roger. -Rick

[@bronc02]

Were any of the others for sale ?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I believe some were Roger. Which one were you interested in. I'm picking up the red and white 77 Tomorrow, so I can ask.

[@bronc02]

I liked the 67 to 72 ( unsure of the exact year ) Ford 4 wheel drive,but it doesn't matter Rick cause I ain't got the money to buy it. But thank you for offering to help.

[@davidh266]

nice colours on that truck, taught we were liquidating assets for cash, and thats why poor banana rama was sold

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Bananarammer has not been sold. Buyers wanted something newer. Also, I am not buying this truck for myself, I clearly said I was buying it for a customer. This is one of the ways I pay my bills. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@davidh266]

sorry i posted before seeing the video, i shouldnt have and would like to appologise for jumping the gun.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

No need to apologize David. Some times our situation changes due to things beyond our control. Thank you.

[@rascal3657]

You need to put some melted wax or even oil in the common places in the truck cab corners and any low places and it will not rust! good luck in all you do.

[@nonstopgaming7586]

I think the Ford's are trying to take over your Chevrolet ranch Rick lol jk Have a good day!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

There is plenty of space for all of the Classics at the Classic Truck Ranch. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@mrfrog3350]

That F 250 is MINT! Can't find anything that nice here in Michigan.(we like a little road on our salt) If it's got air and cruise,it's probably got tilt wheel too.Push the turn signal arm forward to adjust.Sounds like the power steering pump is low on fluid.Looks like the holes in the sides of the cowl are from slide in camper mounts.A nice slide in would be too cool in that rig.Nice find!

[@ramonalejandro6710]

OK tks. just let me know when you have another one short bed prefer thank you

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Watch my next video (CTR-75) and let me know if you are interested in the F100 shortbed in it. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@joshuaryanferguson3702]

Dang that truck is ment

[@j.c.smithprojects]

rick, i am looking for a 78 or 79 f250 or f350 exactly like that. it is the exact color scheme i want. let me know if your buyer falls through or you find another.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Pretty sure they are in love with this one. I will look around and see what I can find. Be patient though, from what I've seen, most are not this nice. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@ardtessa]

@J.C. SMITH PROJECTS: Sorry but this one is not for sale ! I'm sure another one will turn up. Only missed out on an even nicer one earlier.

[@delmontcrusier]

starting to seem like ford always had noisy steering pumps. Both explorers I have the steering pumps make noise.

Hello my old Friend. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@tonieveritt7045]

we have the same problem with our bees as well in england its to do with crop spraying not good for bees

[@northstar2007]

ya know what boat stands for right? Bust Out Another Thousand.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Watch me bust that 428 Cobra Jet out of mine and put it in something with wheels on it. Man,...I'm so sick of that boat. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@northstar2007]

lol, I wish these 77's had a diesel variant. I had a 77 100 like this one I LOVED. I have a 78 250 I think it's a club cab. it has a seat in the cab that folds out into a bed. dunno if it's worth anything. but I have it lol

[@gaming247withcodygames2]

congratulations Jamie on your school hope you do good on your test glad you're feeling better Rick and what's the story with the Yogi Bear?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jamie said Thank you. We just put the "Toupe" on Yogi to keep water from coming in the whole where the cab is cut out on the back, I haven't forgot about your "Puffin'" video, just scrambling to stay caught-up. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@gaming247withcodygames2]

No problem just get everything under control and don't try to do too much

[@TheFrameoff]

Hey it looks "familiar " I've seen one like that ... lol

[@johnossendorf9979]

A boat is a hole in the water you through money in to.

[@jamesbraun9842]

John Ossendorf The best times to own a boat after you buy it and when you sell it

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

My boat thinks its a Catfish. Always trying to go straight to the bottom. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@johnossendorf9979]

Hi Rick. I never owned a boat, but in the early 70's (I'm 46) Dad had a wooden speed boat. One day Dad, a friend and his family went water skiing. A good time was had by all, until, the friends youngest daughter got back in the boat, handed my father a piece of wood and said "is this important?" Dad was about to say no when he flipped it over, it was a piece of the hull. He gunned it for shore. It sank about 50 feet from the beach in 5 feet of water. In 10 minutes 20 men had waded out to help. An hour later it was on the beach. All of the men stayed and helped until the boat was back on the trailer. Non of them would except anything but a thank you and handshake, so Dad and Mom invited them all to a cookout on the beach the next weekend. A good time was had by all. The boat was sold soon after.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I never cease to be amazed by the stories our mechanical "Old Friends" bring back. Okay...real quick...The first time I put my boat in the water was on the 4th of July at a campground my entire famiy has been going to for 30-years. Its called Pine Hollow and its up high on the southeast side of Mount Hood. I drug the boat up there and spent all day July 3rd installing new cables for the steering and throttle. It was late when I got finished so I floated and paddled it to the dock because it has a 428 Cobra Jet in it and I didn't want to wake up the campground. Got up late July 4th and didn't bother checking on the boat, just sat around the campground relaxing. We go down to the lake at dusk to set up a spot to watch the fireworks. Tons of people on the beach. As it starts getting dark, someone points to my boat and says "your boat looks like its sitting pretty low in the water." It was sinking. I ran out on the dock and the inside of the boat was full of water. I yanked the engine cover off and could see the carburetor was still above water, so I fired it up. Its roaring, the belts and pulleys are spraying water everywhere and everyone on the beach is laughing their heads off and cheering as I have it at full throttle going maybe 2-miles an hour driving the swamped boat towards the boat ramp. Fortunately a friend had the foresight to go grab my truck and trailer and be waiting when I got there. Next day I fixed the leak..(Bellows) and put it back in the water. Fired right up and ran great. Raced all the way across the lake, grinning from ear to ear. Then it spit out two old rusty freeze plugs and started filling up with rust-colored water. On the opposite side of the lake from the boat ramp. Limped back across the lake, bailing with a bucket while driving, as all my friends and family stood on the beach laughing and making bets on wether or not I'd make it. That sums up my entire realationship with my boat...NO, I'm not that attatched to it.

[@jonnycando]

Has that last snow melted, or is this a warping of the space-time continuum?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

The snow has melted. I just shot this footage the day before yesterday. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@marceltimmers1290]

Hi mate. What is it with Americans and air filters. I have seen a lot of your trucks that you bought and I am amazed when the vehicle has an air filter fitted or in the car. why do they all remove them?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

They are usually missing on vehicles that haven't been driven for a long time because people remove them to prime the carbs, inject starting fluid, check the choke atc.. Good to hear from you again Marcel. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@kintonsellers2116]

So I'm 17 and love old trucks, I really want a 55-57 chevy step side. What do you sell trucks for? I want a complete truck that the rust isn't to bad to daily drive? I don't have a lot of money so i probly can't afford it.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You can realistically plan on spending 4500. and up for a project that is a fairly-decent, driving 55-57. It will be an investment that will only go up in value as you make upgrades and time goes by. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@SteelyPaw]

I really like that Allis Chalmers tractor! And then you use the little red one for a dedicated fork lift?

[@granttabor1338]

You have to prepare bees early if you are thinking it could be a bad winter, insulation, extra food, etc. Especially extra food !!!!!!!! Not you guys fault, the guy that owned the hives !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

We will make sure to do our homework before we bring any of our own bees out here. I'd feel a lot worse if this happened to bees I was responsible for the care of. I'm not sure the bees froze. I will call and find out. I just noticed that they were gone. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@ralphups7782]

take care rick you sound like your getting a cold, try some vitamin c

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Actually, I'm just getting over one. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@glennmiller9031]

Put out some molasses for them.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

For the Bees?

[@glennmiller9031]

yes

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Okay, thank you. Also, I just found out this morning that the bees were fine. The owner just moved them because he was worried about flooding. They will be brought back in Spring.

[@richardmead9225]

19.5 wheels would work too.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I did negotiate for a set of 16's to come with it. Thanks Fer Watchin' Richard. -Rick

[@wammyz]

You know that the definition of "Boat" is a hole in the water you throw money into...

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yeah, everytime I throw that boat in the water, it starts taking on water. It has almost sunk both times I've tried to use it. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@Vader1957]

ready to part with the 77 Lincoln?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

There's another black coupe just like it (except it doesn't have the rear disc brakes) on Ebay for 34k right now. I really don't think he will get anywhere near that for it, but I'm watching. No, I'm not ready to part with Angus just yet, but if you tell me exactly what year, color, etc you want, I will keep an eye out for a nice one. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@ramonalejandro6710]

you still have the ford 77

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes, but the new owners are flying in Friday to get it. I do know where another is that I can get though. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@pv12261963]

OOO A MONSTER! WOW Alway's love the OLD ferds. Won't pass a gas station that's for sure.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Definitely something you buy for "Smiles Per Gallon".

[@pv12261963]

Very true Rick. Oh & CONGRATS to TRUCKER GIRL Jamie. Is she going to drive a school bus or something else? Tell her Class B is the starting point. get that class A down the line. GREAT JOB.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

The school bus driving job is her shortcut to the big Dumptruck of her dreams. She does want to keep driving the kids around though. Jamie loves kids.

[@mntrucklord1085]

Don't give all of the good ol American vehicles to foreign people! Keep them here!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Some of my very best Friends are "Foreign People". Trust me, the trucks I do send to them get treated like family members. We have plenty of trucks sitting in bushes and fields over here that deserve to be loved and restored. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@lsrx101]

Many smaller "foreign" countries don't have the automotive range and diversity of cars as in the US, and most only have cars available that weren't built "there". I've seen videos from countries all across Europe, South America and even Africa, Australia and New Zealand, of people that love and restore American cars. (I'd love to have an Aussie Ford or Holden UTE of any year). Like Rick said, we've got plenty. We can afford to give them some nice ones. I feel some pride when I see a "foreign" guy posting a video of his American iron. I'm really glad they appreciate them as much as we do.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Very well put. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

[@jamieround2072]

u know when the tractor or any loud rig is running.... we can't really hear your gal talking at all......

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Sorry about that. Jamie gets excited when she's filming and forgets about things like that. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@aoleary67]

Yeah,How come the freaken Ford lol.

[@jameshengl5230]

That is what Rick's customer Wanted.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Because I love ALL old trucks. We also Use a Ford truck to Rescue a lot of Chevy and GMC trucks. I have always said that its fine for people to have a favorite brand, but I like anyone who likes old trucks, no matter what their personal favorite is. That's why its called "Classic Truck Rescue" and not "Classic Chevy Rescue". Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Its what the customer wanted James. I think he picked a good one too. Thanks.
