What Makes a 1967 Bumpside so Different Than The Rest?

[@MrDavid6691]

I have 10 bumpsides, 5 of which are F250 4x4 highboys. 6 of the 10 are 1967's. All my 67's have the hazard flasher switch in the upper part of the glove box. Also the flasher assembly, near the steering column is a large box, specific to 1967. Interestingly I have never, ever seen a failed one. 1967 bumpsides are without a doubt, my favorite vehicles on the planet. Nothing else even comes close. I've been driving mine constantly since 1985. Wherever I go people are constantly commenting that they really like my truck, no matter which one I drove that day. Ever since the first couple of miles in one, I knew that I would never again be without one. That was 33 years ago. I've been driving my dream car ever since. Every time I look at them, or drive them, I fall in love all over again. -------every time -------- . Simple, dependable, durable, beautiful. Made in the the U.S.A. and made to last. Thanks for the tour of your bumpsides, ----- reminds me of home. Cheers.

[@robertclark2714]

I have a 67 F600 flatbed. No rust in the floors, cab corners or cab mounts. She has a personality and spirit that none of my other vehicles will ever have. I love to just sit in her sometimes and have a quiet moment. I revived her from an abandoned farm an now she is more than road worthy and legal. Resurrection Revival is almost a religious experience.

[@musicauthority7828]

67 though 69 Ford pickups were the toughest Ford trucks ever produced. especially the ones equipped with the 300ci 4.9L inline Six cylinder engine. they were bullet proof. I have a unique Ford Pickup, it's a 1966 F250 4x4 chassis with a 1951 body on it. with a 400 + HP 390 FE engine and a tilt front end. I did all the work on it myself including building the engine. except the dual two and a half inch exhaust system. I also have a 1978 F150 2WD with a 360 FE engine and a four speed. normally 78 models didn't have FE engines in them. but I put it in the truck with some parts from a 1967 F100. I also used the windshield from the 67 and put it in the 78. I also have a 1981 F250 4x4, with a 300ci 4.9L inline six cylinder engine and a four speed. it's a totally bullet proof truck. a person might say I really like Ford Pickups and they would be right. they are best trucks ever made no doubt.

I had a '68 Mercury F100 short box, 240 six with three on the tree and positrack rear end. Since it was sold in Canada it has many similarities to the '67. Original colour was green with a white bump stop. I wrapped the odometer around on that truck.

[@ROROSMACHINE]

I learned to drive on my Dads 1972 f100 302 3 on the tree ... Loved that friggin truck, it had 400 thousand on it and the engine had never been cracked opened. He ended up trading it in for a brandy new 1987 ford ranger... Although 67 thru 79 were essentially the same core truck the 67 to 72 were always my favorites and I liked the gauge cluster old school style more so than the square gauges from 73 to 79. If you look Ford just basically flipped the 72 grille upside down and embedded the ford letters into the upper grille and took them off the hood, quite clever actually and was an interesting facelift for the 73 thru 77 models...Love your trio brother, keep em forever!!

[@DanEBoyd]

Another great thing about Bumps is that you can bolt an F500 Gauge cluster right in. '73-'79 is the big truck cluster to get, as the gauges look more modern. '73-'79 F500s retained the Bumpside dash. The '67-'72 F500 gauges look almost like they're from the 1950s. Bad thing about Bumps is the welded-in dash - that must be why it kicks up on the passenger side, so you can service the heater. I would consider bolting a Bump dash into my Dent, so I could run those big truck gauges. I wonder if the Bump dash is welded into the Dent F500 cabs, or if it bolts in like the ones in the pickups.

[@ROROSMACHINE]

@@DanEBoyd You should check out the Brazilian F-1000, apparently they have been continuing to build the 1967 f100 as the F-1000 over there all the way through from the research, looks like 1992... The truck has a full set of round gauges that you could probably order from Ford of Brazil that might plug in with some mods.. check out the You tube videos for F1000s 1992 ford F1000 will blow your mind...

[@DanEBoyd]

@@ROROSMACHINE I will check that out. Ford also produced the 1960 Falcons up into the '80s or even '90s, in Australia and in Central or South America. At the end they had modern cartridge bulb-headlights and a few other modern updates. Heck, if I can buy me a new Bumpside, I might just go there!!

[@jesusisalive3227]

I have a 1970 F100 that I'm just starting to work on. It had been sitting for 16 years in my Grandpas field. It has a nice 390 in it. It had a 2 barrel carb and some old gas in the tank. I put a battery in it, put a couple gallons of fresh gas in it. Primed the carb and cranked it over for about ten seconds, pumped it 4 times then turned it over again and it fired right up 🤯😁 it blew big globs of old carpet fibers out of the exhaust for a couple minutes and smelled like dead 🐀. After about 5 minutes of idling it smoothed out and just purred like a 🐈. The exhaust mounted heat activated choke and everything even works. I could not believe it 🤗🥳 Come to find out the engine had been bored .060 over so it's actually a 401, it doesn't overheat and runs extremely strong. I did put a performer rpm intake on it and put some gt heads with stronger springs on it. It runs even better now. The part I'm searching for now is a replacement tool box tub for the bedside tool box. Unfortunately I can not find anywhere to buy a new one so I'll be searching junk yards. Im very happy to have it. My Grandpa died last Oct so I'll have this to remind me of him. I also got an 49' F1 that was his. It is a project but still cool. The 49' is going to be my hotrod.

When I got my 67 there was a rubber bladder on the floor near the dimmer switch that would pump the washer fluid. The washer fluid was in a bag that hung on the inner fender.

[@rossawood5075]

That continued in Australian dent line until Aug 1980 when last of dentsides were put together in the Melborne factory, but if I remember correctly a plastic bottle was the reservoir, however in time that foot bladder would leak and create a wet spot leading to rust in the floor plan. Oddly all of the windscreen wiper switches in the unique Australian dash boards ( actually English Ford Cortina car dashes) had a push in function that powered a wire in the engine wiring loom making it easy to use an electric powered washer bottle.

Regarding the handbrake, Australian right hand drive F series utilised an Orchilin style lever to the left of the steering column under the dash, the knob on the end of this lever when turned clockwise tighted the wire leading to the rear brakes.

Great description of the 67 "High Boy", However Ford had some variations in their Canadian export High Boys, I have a 1974 and 1976 High Boy here in Australia with right hand drive. My 76 has a chrome non-glass mounted rear vision mirror mounted to the cab above the windscreen. Also, Australian Hi Boys were the only fully imported F series trucks after 73 I think in Australia, the F100/250/350's 2WD and F100 4WD were assembled in Australia, the 73 - 77 Australian imported F-250 High Boys from Canada have the F500/600 steel chrome dashboard you show in your F600 truck, Australian assembled F trucks (dent-sides) have a unique dashboard different to USA/Canadian models and a different glovebox door. Steering columns from around late 73 here are also different with indicator/horn and headlight dip switch incorporated in one lever as in Ford Falcon/Fairlane styles. Disc brake front were standard on all Dent-sides here and they were made up until November 1980 here in Australia, the Bull nose F series trucks and Bronco's started being assembled here from 1981.

I stored them all at a friend's property where he had an old muscle car salvage yard. He ended up very ill with a heart condition.

I prefer the Dent-era F600 gauges themselves though. They have that Cougar XR7 look to them, whereas the Bump-era ones look way more old-timey. I want the tach and vacuum gauges too! (Even though the big-truck tachs are cable driven, or need to be adapted somehow.) The F600 bezel looks like aftermarket gauges would work well with it too.

[@MrJeep75]

Those f600 gages work perfectly in the 57-60

[@dwilliams6642]

Super informative video, definitely appreciate you goin through these trucks it helped me alot identifying what exactly i have in my 67 as its got a little of this and a little of that lol. But really, thanks for the video

[@MattKubik1791]

Glad to hear it!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Awesome tour Matt! I'm wondering where to get a few parts. I need the original air-cleaner for the 360 FE and a radio bezel for my 72 F250 crewcab.

[@MattKubik1791]

I think you can get a reproduction radio Bezel from reproduction parts catalogs such as Dennis Carpenter and the rest. I’m not sure on a factory air cleaner. I would check out eBay and see if you can find a used one. That’s where I get a lot of my parts that are hard to find.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

@@MattKubik1791 Thanks Matt, I'll take a look!

[@15Jeep]

LMC Truck - Lenexa Kansas. Check Out their online catalogs. Have read some negative comments on some forums about the rubber door seals from LMC...probably cheap, poorly made from C-H-I-N-A.

[@mattshansen9814]

I'm new to the channel, great video. I'm a ford guy and I didn't know about the difference between 67 and 68-72 ford trucks. Thanks

[@MattKubik1791]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching.

[@mavericksearcher470]

The 67 also has the windshield washer bag. I believe 67 also has a different P/S box. I have a 67 camper special.

[@MattKubik1791]

Forgot about the washer bag! Good catch.

[@ryanhawkins1235]

I like 67s too yet I have a 69. My grandparents had a 67 F250 Custom Cab Camper Special from new until 2000.

[@GRAPPAHOLICS]

Great video! I’ve always liked the 67 grill and bedside better but I hadn’t noticed some of the little details.

[@christophertaylor2464]

I liked and subscribed to your channel. I have a 1970 Ford F 100 short bed with a 390 big block. Thank you for this video you have answered a question that I had about my grill in my truck it seems that I have a 67 grill. Those little black marks top and bottom. Now if I can find out what kind of grill the 1970 should have.

[@jimg4915]

Thank you for posting this. Very informative. I'm currently working on a 67 flareside. Did you add those shoulder belts on that 67 Highboy?

[@MattKubik1791]

Yes, I added them in the build.

[@chrisspera3192]

I have a 1967 hi boy bought it in 1989 $600 bucks had a 352 posi 4.56 gears arm strong steering and no power brakes, still see it running around Pueblo CO

[@erniecampbell1067]

great video, I think only think it would be better if the 4x4 was a 4 speed,but with that motor very cool! I had 69 4 speed 390 wish I never would have sold it! thanks for video. very bad think about these trucks key switch you can just pug new one in and start any truck this year crazy!.

[@LOVEthatRR]

are there any body differences with the f100 and f250? 1970’s that is? I’m restoring my grandpas truck but haven’t dug in too much yet. Thanks !

[@bashfullbuzzard]

just bought a 1967 F250 high boy body is rough was logging truck then cattle truck no tag on door hope your dad kept his it has a radio in it wiped chrome grill hood tree got it parked out in field for 12 years 352 turns over 4 speed

[@steveashworth6707]

Good video!, I love these old trucks!.

[@MDF1973]

Nice trucks! I have a 4x 72’ F250 4 door crew cab.

[@MattKubik1791]

Very cool!

[@aidenbarbour4989]

taught me something here. My 67 heater has the defroster on/off label, but no rod in it. I always thought the trim around the heater controls looked newer, and there's an extra factory hole on the right side of the steering wheel. Previous owners must have done away with the economy controls, but when I am restoring I I will have to put it back in and delete the new ones he installed. Only thing that I noticed that you missed was the location of the hole for 3 point seatbelts. The location of the factory hole changed, but I do not remember specifically what year it changed.

[@MattKubik1791]

You are correct. It did change. But that was changed in 1970. So 68-69 also have the different location so it isn’t a 67 specific difference.

[@15Jeep]

First Time Viewer! Great Video! @14:51 Looks like a 1969 - 1972 Ford steering wheel mounted in a 1969 - 1972 Chevrolet / GMC steering column with tilt wheel and gear selector indicator. Why do you have General Motors "Gargantuan Mistake" parts on your Ford "First On Race Day" truck???

[@supermike0822]

I had a '67 F100 Camper Special and had accumulated tons of stuff for it, including BRAND NEW hood emblems, CS emblems, etc. I bought it to restore, and did so much work on it to bring it back to life, until I was forced to use it as a daily driver for 3 years. In so many ways the '67 was a "one year" truck compared to the other bumps. I've since sold it all.. the truck just had too much cancer to save (mostly around the roof drip rail) and I had too many kids to hang on to it for daily use. 😥

[@passqualecaiazza7728]

I love my 68 F100 390V8 C6 Auto trans. Grandfather bought new 1967. My Dad bought it in 1972, and I took it over in 1987. I restored it and sold my 66 F100 to pay for it. I love the truck. It is still running great. Does not look new anymore but who cares

[@bks7842]

The 67 rear view mirror set up is far superior and should have remained.

[@scottboettcher]

Today I learned. Thank you.

[@aaronbuehler1270]

are a fan of 78's-&79's but hope to one day own a bump side mercury tbh

[@BriceDudley]

I just bought an estate sale and there was a 1967 f250 in the garage, one owner, practically no rust, garage kept and under 70k miles, have all original paperwork and maintenance, has a custom camper on the back. Located in central Indiana. Will be sell soon. If you know anyone.

[@tim8deb]

Interesting and enlightening comparison of the models. That's a great story as to why you love Highboys and that model. That 69 is a sweet ride. clean as and no rattles that i could hear of. Doors opened and closed sweet. The Gauge bezel/cluster of the F600 are they easy to find over in the US , Parts for highboys are hard enough to find in OZ let alone for a 67. Would you know where to get one or if they make replica's. Asking for a friend LOL Ill keep an eye out for a working radio here in OZ.

[@MattKubik1791]

F600 gauge bezels are pretty common here in the states. They were the same 67-79. Some guys want quite a bit for a clean one though.

[@tim8deb]

@@MattKubik1791 what would you call quite a bit ? They want a lot for any that are ok to good here $420

[@tim8deb]

USD

[@Kevin.W.]

The "FORD" block letters on the front of the hood are also unique to the 67

[@rossawood5075]

That 428 FE would be a very torquey engine at low RPM I would think, great for a heavy truck.
