Man i love the 70's model fords i got a 79 f150 custom that my grandpa bought in 1981 and im currently redoing it back to the way it was when get bought it

[@bradhugo8973]

Kent your killing me with these barn finds!! That 78 is unbelievable shape for its age. Keep ‘‘em coming man!!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Lol its a sickness, I’m running out of places to hide them

[@mikebas7325]

That's the type truck you just clean up, look things over, change fluids and then drive it. Just beautiful, these gems are hard to find.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Yes they are! Thanks for watching

[@jasonkowitz4598]

Absolutely one of the cleanest Fords I have ever seen in a long time. I always loved the 78 and 79's. I love the color blue that's on the truck itself. I don't mind short beds but I prefer a long bed that's just me. Not to mention this truck is a 4x4. Absolutely a true survivor can't wait to see future videos on this old girl!!!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thank you! I am still amazed at the condition of the truck. There will be another video on the truck next Wednesday!

[@scottiehood2012]

That's one awesome looking old truck.

[@iamkazie9401]

@@SpeedBumpGarage Kent at the beginning of your video when you were standing at the front of the truck with the green bugshield you took me back to 1978 when i was 14 and my parents just bought their new green and white tu tone 78 f f150 we had that same bug shield it came folded in a box new. Fast forward to 1985 i was now 21 and took it to our local mall came out an hour later to find it stolen. Was so hard making that call to my dad that his truck he worked so hard for was gone and i felt so responsible. Dad reassured me things would be ok. The truck was never found and a month later insurance gave dad a check and together we bought a brand new 1985 f150. 2 years later my dad passed but i kept the truck another 6 years until my first child was born and i traded it in on a 1993 supercab because we needed the room. Alot of memories thanks to your video!!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

@@iamkazie9401 I think green and white is my favorite paint scheme for 1978! That’s too bad it got away, I’m glad I could bring back some old memories.

That's a gem of a truck. I have a 78 F-150 Ranger XLT. I bought new with a 351M, C-6 trans with cruise, power steering, tilt steering, A/C with dual tanks. With over 295.000 miles on and still runs great. Had the motor overhauled at about 195.000 miles. Although it needs a restorations and wish I could afford to have it done. Also have two 79 Ford F-150 one being a short bed super cab and other a long bed single that I need to sale. Look forward to your next videos. I wish mine was in this shape and could of known about this truck I would of bought it.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

For having 49,000 miles that is really really good. I have a 78 250 with a 351 modified and it has 185,000 and I’ve been working on it and it sat outside for 15 years but still for the shape that pick ups and that’s, a really really good deal

What a beautiful truck congratulations! I grew up in the exact exact same truck blue Lariat 400..except a 2wd and long bed. My dad bought brand new and put over 350k on it! Great video

[@richardhill4862]

Very nice old truck, I do not have that kind of luck to find one as clean as yours. In our area rust takes it's total on parted cars. That to me is one of Ford's best body styles and being a 4X4 short bed makes it that much better. My 1971 F250 came out of a of someone's back 40, and between the rats holes we spent a lot of time getting it to move on it's own. Glad that you include your son, these will be the things he remembers.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

We have some rust issues around here too but this one was preserved very well!

Wow that is nice I would love to have that track. The first thing I would do is pull the engine put all new gaskets an hoses belts water pump all of the cooling then replace all the breaks an gas tank line's just go through all of truck. So way don't you take a 5gl boat gas tank with like 10ft rubber gas line with a electric fuel pump so that way what ever old automobile you get you have good clean gas in a clean tank if you are going to drive it Long ways bring a 5gl gas can you can fill up near by gas station

Looks good, even has a bug guard. Brakes most likely have air in lines. Also, you use to be able to put a car in reverse then step on brakes to tighten them up a bit. Also, sounds like values or carbonator need some work. Another fun project... do you still have bug and other truck?
