All Original 1970 Ford F350 Crew Cab | What The Truck?

[@seangamble2126]

Please leave it as you bought it.. the 'ol girl is practically a time capsule

[@peterswalmen]

what a find, so compleet with the paperwork. Just a dream.

[@LoneWrencher]

dude,thats a rare truck,with all that paperwork.i would keep it as original as possible while restoring.

[@joeamaral7503]

Please keep it OG. Honestly the nicest bump crew I've ever seen.

[@1948betty]

It’s a really solid truck and pretty special as it sits. I’d run that cowboy Cadillac like it is now for Sgt. Miller legacy.

[@fairwind8222]

That’s a terrible idea! He should sell it to me, so I can run it as is

[@ThePenn7]

Paint it, freshen up the engine if needed, and drive it. Its perfect just like it is.

[@FordEra]

good idea

[@rapcreeperproductions3269]

What do you mean paint? That's perfect.

[@joeamaral7503]

Ya, what do you mean paint it? Definitely doesnt need paint.

[@nickefgen9219]

Except for recovering the seat and replacing the carpet I’d keep it all original like it is and not do the 4x4 swap at all, just drive it and enjoy it the way it is, and yes please do more videos on the rest of your truck’s, and take the canopy off and have the bed of the truck rhino lined

[@YippeeKiYayMrFalcon]

Original examples of 2 wheel drive crew cabs might eventually become more rare than 4 wheel drive versions because everyone's putting super duty axles underneath 'em nowadays.

[@FordEra]

makes them more useful

[@mintyman1968]

@@FordEra Doesn't effect use at all really lol I've run 2WD trucks all my life, so has my dad, grandpa. Never limited anything.

[@jimmyclarkjr.5989]

I'd fix the paint, put new carpet and front seat cover and leave it the way it is. Very nice original truck that was loved and taking care of. I'd sure love to have it. Good luck with it.

[@rockybaldwin3946]

Keep it the way it is and run it! Nothing better!

[@FordEra]

You got that right!

[@jamied4712]

With a cool whip jar carb booster, and hand painted Kleenex box added for his wife… Mr.Miller wasn’t afraid of customizing that truck to make it his own, and you shouldn’t be either. We kept it original because that’s our style, and honestly we couldn’t ever decide what to do with the top either. On or off? I say paint it, add new carpet, repair the front bench, maybe install that sweet new retro a/c system- Give him a 4x4 and Godzilla. Shoot, my dad always called his son Mad Man Miller because he was so fearless on a motorcycle. This truck comes from fearless folks, have fun with it! They would. Whatever you decide, we are excited to watch the journey of Mr.Miller. Love this format for sharing your trucks. Also, you may already know this- but we found the Britax click tight car seats work great for 5 point harness safety with the bench seat lap belts.

[@darinclark1853]

Amazing truck! Congrats on the find.... I'd freshen it and keep it in it's current configuration.

[@dougbrown9861]

I agree! It would be a sin to alter this truck.

[@wbreese9903]

Even though I love 4X4's........I think this one needs to stay as close to original as it can.

[@ronaldduwaynebrown8071]

Beautiful texas truck I'm north of Dallas about 25 miles. Think I'd leave it as is

[@realkilju]

that bumber is cool! like how low key it is. please keep it, i would keep it like that, its a time capsule. also please do more videos like this

[@FordEra]

That's the plan!

[@lariat8653]

Hopefully your buddy gets the paint looking good, put in new carpet and get the front bench reupholstered and then leave it alone. That’s probably the most original one left that’s not been tampered with yet. He apparently loved the truck and resisted changing it all those years so leave it original if for no other reason than just to honor him. What a museum piece.

[@FordEra]

hoping we can too

[@LoneWrencher]

i would leave that 390 in it and stroke it out to 445,very good torque,plus your keeping it original

[@FordEra]

that could be fun

[@roberthall6340]

Leave as it is nice time capsule

[@lawrencetrapani5623]

Mmmmmmm! That one is a Real Beauty! That's a very Worthy vehicle 2 wd road truck!

[@garrettreines6952]

Damn bro you are not joking that thing is really quiet wow I am really impressed I would like to have that truck too awesome You definitely got a diamond in the rough there Don't ever get rid of that thing my father has 1973 Ford and he will not part with that truck for nothing Got the same kind of motor you have a 390 big block Except his is just a regular cab 2 wheel drive but like I said he loves that truck and he will not part with it he said he will take it to his grave when he goes..

[@chocodiledundee1]

Gorgeous Bumpside truck , the 1970 grille reminds me so much of my childhood in Brazil 🇧🇷 ! 1967 & 1970 grille are the best of them all, 1970 is the best year of the 67-72 last year of the really good trucks as 71-72 had thinner Lower bottom trim mouldings and 71-72 also lost the iconic 3 spoke w/horn steering wheel making 1970 “ The Ultimate truck “ Brazil like 1970 so much it was built with the 1970 Grille from 1971-1986 then 86-87 to 92-93 Bumpside had the 4 square headlights grille unique only to Brazil 🇧🇷 ! Really beautiful truck Range XLT woodgrain beautiful Green colour ! I even like the canopy top , insane one of the coolest truck I’ve seen , I wouldn’t touch it at all I would’ve leave it as it’s !

[@FordEra]

Thanks brother

[@davesayers5809]

Texas Cadillac keep it all original but update the seats/carpet!!

[@FordEra]

thats what im thinking

[@chrisgrignon3877]

I’d leave the cap on its very cool and definitely part of the truck’s history nice truck

[@john242ti]

Fix the minor issues with it, then either delete the canopy or find one that's lower profile and less like it was meant for a bricknose F150. Maybe add a Gear Vendors/Laycock overdrive unit to help with modern highway speeds. But, I don't think I'd do a 4x4 conversion on it. That's just me, tho.

[@jakestoe]

I'm the 3rd owner of my 77 F100 2wd. I've owned it since 2001 and the previous owner was alot like this previous owner also. I still have all paperwork, ID badges, shop manuals etc. etc.. I'm upset with myself for not taking too much care of it the last 10 years. It needed a rebuild but I just let it sit in the driveway not running. After watching your videos you've renewed my interest and need to get it back on the road. I was a lot like you 20-25 years ago who loved the old Ford trucks and understood the little unique details just like the back door trim how it was cut. That a sweet truck you found yourself. It'll be fun to watch the transformation. Thanks for the vids!

[@HootervilleHaney]

Keep it as is! Beautiful truck!

[@FordEra]

Thanks!

[@lawrencetrapani5623]

Keep it stock 2wd as is! Most are being converted, some would prefer the Nostalgia of stock over refit! At least in my opinion and I have a Few and have had Many!! Lol wish I still did! 74 here, life goes on! Thanks for the Viewing Solomon

[@FordEra]

Great point!

[@PeteRay-w4x]

I love it as original. You found a gem. Recover the seat. I wouldn’t 4x4 it.

[@ecksdog]

The step to get into the rear of the cab is unique.

[@FordEra]

its a crew cab thing

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I think it'd be cool if you did a 'What The Truck' for all of your trucks; like you said, good thing for people to use for future reference. I don't know what I line more; The sound of the door closing, or the sound of it opening!

[@mikeswartz3146]

More I think about I also am leaning just fix for safety , some power, small appearances, carpet, weather tech, wet Santa the clear off. That's all. But it's a great truck, enjoy.

[@earlblakley4910]

I would leave it stock. The interior is really nice on that truck. I would get the paint straight on it and drive it.

[@pategan6558]

Beautiful truck Solomon! I am in the same boat right now. I just picked up a 72' F350 crew 2wd this last summer. It is an all original 1 owner truck with 92k on it. I thought about the whole 4wd swap with a godzilla but at the same time it would be nice to just preserve it the way it is. Mine also is a crew cab special custom which is loaded with Ranger trim. Door panels, seats, wood grain instrument panel bezel among other little add ons. So I can not wait to see what you do with this one. Maybe it will give me some inspiration on which route to go with mine!

[@shawndemeter3836]

Ya man I for 1 really like seeing your trucks and hearing the plans for them

[@R3TR0R4V3]

It's too nice and close to original to swap in a godzilla and axles.. I'd rock it as-is. However I'd ditch the cap. Lol Incredible find! You're so lucky! 😎

[@FordEra]

Fair enough!

[@R3TR0R4V3]

@@FordEra it's your truck though, brother.. Do your thing! Whatever makes you happy. 🤙

Truck cap I would never take off and a nice new repaint same color would be about all the major work it needs . About the only upgrade be in the paint job a tribute to the Sgt. who owned it if he was good military man !

[@timothyballinger6280]

All the upgrades you talked about is cool but if it were mine I'd leave it alone! Its already perfect. I also think you'll wish you left it original in the future because it's so perfect now. Anyway cool truck bro!

[@FordEra]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Wrencheasy]

That’s an incredible truck. Great video

[@FordEra]

Thanks 👍

Amazing truck! Hope to have my 71 350 looking similar one day with a 4x4 swap. I still need to finish the 1967 6.7 first though

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I like the Super Duty axles but prefer a Godzilla motor over the diesel. What a beautiful truck.

I agree with what most are saying. It's too nice of an original truck. Just fix the minor issues an enjoy it.

[@richardstone3980]

Yes, talk more about your trucks

[@jcpad1797]

I would leave it exactly the way it is … maybe repair what is already there… but I personally wouldn’t do any mods to this truck …( ie like a 4x4 conversion) .. nope i wouldn’t do it .. Leave it the way it sits !!!

[@FordEra]

it is really nice

[@christophertoscano2026]

I like you are doing what the truck on your trucks 5.9 Cummins 6speed manual leave it 2 wheel drive everyone is swapping axles leave interior stock maybe factory period correct buckets

[@mikeswartz3146]

Remove clearcoat. Tune up . New brakes and exhaust Mild lift. After tires . Sat to tow your stuff. Set up to plow if possible. Fix interior . That's all. Ha ha. Mr. Mike , Scranton, PA.

Wow, she’s a beauty.❤

[@Doobie1975]

Nice truck, I do wish it had a 4 speed manual instead of the automatic though.

[@79tazman]

If that was my truck I would keep it all original because that thing is in great shape and should not be changed at all because it being a crew cab makes it rare and then being in mint shape makes it even more rare so in my opinion I would not mess with it except fix the paint and put a new carpet in and leave the rest alone because it will be hard to find another truck like that in that condition.

[@danbourg76]

She's Mint👌

[@gregpeacock1794]

Definitely 4x4 conversion with slot mags , probably remove the bed cap too. sure seems to be in unbelievably good shape I'd drive and enjoy it daily

[@FordEra]

Agreed

[@peterselten500]

Leave it alone fix what needs to be an enjoy it they are only original once an you have enough other trucks that need a full rebuild to chop up an build an ive had a 76 2wd for 33 yrs an would never buy a 4x4 . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@jimmyaber5920]

I love the JC Whitney milage booster gadgets. Is it confirmed a 390 or is it a 360 by the numbers or motor tag?

[@MrLeo7627]

I like to know what people & you think of the shell . Is it period correct ? Fiberglass 1970 ? I would like to see a aluminum square shell .

[@johnwright3710]

Solomon I would do the 4x4 axle swap with Godzilla 7.3. Is it an 8’ bed? It looks longer.

[@FordEra]

It is 8 ft

[@def1791]

Very nice cool truck. The bed cap has to go though. I love the ranger xlt trim inside the custom from the factory , I didn’t know they would do that. I have a 1970 short bed two wheel drive ranger xlt my dad bought new. It’s been mine since I was 16. It’s been through many stages of customizing but can be put back to stock without a trace, 58,000 miles. Love them old bump sides.

[@TelamCanidae]

Do nothing to it, original trucks and cars are getting rarer, it is awesome the way it is, especially with all the paperwork !

[@jimmyclements1327]

Definitely, Definitely, definitely, make it a 4x4

Spruce it up and leave it as it is. You can customize anything, but they're only original once !

It seems a shame to me to modify that truck because aside from the paint it's all original and any additions are period correct. I'd just have the paint sanded and recleared. I'm a big fan of green, though. However, it's your truck so you do you. 😁
