1969 F250. Export complete, the journey

/ @billylacount6608
lets go to the US of A and get a truck

[@bentleydempster5648]

Buckin' you're an inspiration. The falling, the climbing... and the old Fords!!! Just picked up a new/old 1985 f250, 37 YO like me!!! gotta let the old '80 f250 custom chare the load a bit. BULLNOSE FORD 300-6 F250 RIPSNORTER NEVER QUIT! STIHL my favorite!!! the arm will get better, carry on, an' keep on rockin! THANK YOU for kind-hearted inspiration, keep on sharing the love, from Western WA, where we don't use umbrellas, unless we're on the way to the woods commode in just the morning robe against the sleet!

I'm also a Third generation Tree man/Arborist. My Dad is the 1977 World Champion Tree Climber. He won a Super Pro 125C McCulloch . My Grandfather came in 2nd place.

[@hisWACness]

Wow she's a beaut. That Highboy twasn't bad either. My 78 F250 Ranger has been in the shop for over a month, praying I get her back soon. C6 got a rebuild and a shift kit, and the motor's getting diagnosed for a dead cylinder on the 400 (#7 has good compression, good spark, but is always fowled out and doesn't fire). God bless you and the other Billy!

[@08.p71]

Such a beautiful taste in trucks. Can’t beat old fords, especially the dentsides and bumpsides

[@Matthew_Oden]

That's a really nice old truck glad you got the knock fixed and it's running better now

[@patvedder9204]

What a great video! At the end when you said you couldn't be happier and you show the old truck with Mrs Buckin sittin in it... that made my day! good for you Buckin!!

[@tomnielsen6439]

I grew up on those old trucks. Had a few myself. Brings back memory's. Just listing to the door slam making that old truck sound is priceless.

[@SasquatchBunyan]

My old stompin’ grounds. Used to live a few minutes south of Blaine. Glad the trip went well for ya. That’s a sharp lookin’ truck!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx

[@curtisnimmo2188]

If you're willing to travel to Missouri, U.S.A. I live next to an 80 acre field full of these gems. Field is for pickin and shopping. The barn and shop is for driving and enjoying. We've probably got close to 100 and counting. Adding every day to the collection. They're not making anymore so we have to get them while we can. Love the video!!!!!

[@nosam6002]

Some beautiful country up there. I worked a project in Myra Falls. Stayed in Campbell River at the Anchor Inn. Love that part of BC. Even the ferry ride from Tsawwassen to Nanaimo is ok. Harvested a beautiful brown bear with Circle M Outfitters a few years back. You truly live in one of God's masterpieces.

[@tandemtrouble82]

Nice truck Buckin’!

[@Barnburner86]

Love that old truck Buckin'! I'm currently on a road trip with my 69' F100... Just built a new engine for it and installed it, breaking it in on the road!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

very nice

[@74stevedc]

Nice old truck, glad it was just a simple timing issue. Like the high boy also thanks for taking us along the journey.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Great looking truck Billy. Those old ones are the best.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

appreciate you

[@jeffreyrubish347]

The only pickup truck I've EVER driven was my dad's 1936 Ford flathead V8 in 1973 when I was 16 years old! 😃 I like trucks but just never got one. Congratulations on the acquisition!

[@johnrosier1686]

Great to see Doug again. Nice to see another good looking old truck once again too.

[@critterg8493]

That is a beautiful rig Buckin I’m a ford guy myself worked 19 years at Ford

[@johnthompson7531]

Thanks Buckin

[@aaronpowell4885]

Was typing a comment about sounding like the timing being too advanced when you found it to be the problem! Another great ole Ford👍🏻

[@davesalkeld9741]

That great green Ford 2001 350 that towed your truck up there is my son's truck, Billy"s next door neighbor!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx soooooo much friend

what a rad truck thats an amazing find man!!

[@MainelyFirewood]

I’ve been watching your videos all day, hopefully I’ll have an awesome axe someday! And many saws too!!

[@jaytbuzzard]

Sweet blue truck!!!!! I liked the white highboy too!!!!! Let that arm heal up and you’ll be back at full strength soon.

[@jameshumbob8247]

Good for you for rescuing a good ol truck from the junkyard or crushed. MORGAN...you have some work coming to ya.

[@Grizzman99]

Miss my old fords. Had a 71,73,74,76,and a 78. All 4 speeds. Two were hi boys. All fe big blocks except the 78. Really want one again. Wife still has a 78. Needs a fair amount of work. If it’s a valve generally they are pretty consistent as far as noise goes. It’ll get louder and faster as you increase rpm. Be a little odd that it comes on at high rpm. Wife’s smile was the best part of the video. Awesome

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Thx

[@leonschufletowski8874]

Buckin. Great to have you back for a day. Nice looking truck, love the old ones. Good to see Wendy too.

[@charlessixkiller3080]

Beautiful truck awesome find

[@vincentnail2881]

When it's all straightened out, Rita is going to love that truck.

[@KeepingThingsOldschoo]

An old ford truck adventure is the best kind of adventure. Awesome.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Congratulations on your new truck buddy!!! What was the price that the guy was asking for the 1972 high boy??? I really like the good old Ford high boys for sure!!! I still remember the one that my dad had when I was like 10 or 12 years old and every Sunday morning we would get up at 1:00 to 2:00am and go deliver the Sunday papers to everyone all over the country side!!! Beautiful truck buddy!!!!

[@tylertailby4846]

Love the videos buckin can’t wait to watch this one

[@edwarddavis507]

I love your taste in trucks Buckin’. It’s the grill; it’s killer. Definitely interested in that ranger high boy. That’s a nice project truck for the right price. New transmission would lead me to believe there’s a vacuum issue throwing the timing off. Smile on Mrs. Ray’s face says it all!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Right on,, I checked it over today and the vacuum pot is working good on vacuum advance she Gettin more dialed. It does have a kick down arm on the tranny . I’ll dig deeper

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

These models also had an arm that ran down to the tranny for kick down when gas peddle was stepped on not vacuumed I believev

[@diggerddawg]

Love the old truck. I'm a chevy guy but I'm thinking my next daily driver truck will be a Ford just because I love the coyote 302's that they have been putting in them for the past 10 years or so. BTW, if you think the timing is too far advanced then the new vacuum advance cannister would be my first suspect. New cannisters can add anywhere from 6 to 20 degrees depending on the part number, so if the prior owner just put any new parts store cannister on that motor, he may have thrown the timing curve completely out of whack. It's best to go with a cannister that only adds a small amount of vacuum advance (6-8 degrees) and get the rest of your advance from your initial setting. Elgin is a reliable manufacturer of vacuum advance cannisters and they publish the advance numbers according to the model numbers of each unit that they make.

[@jessealvarado6939]

Nice truck I had a 1973 f100 I got it had a blown 360 put in a 390 four barrel. It was 2 wheel drive to this day I still miss that truck enjoy buckin.

[@richklauka6882]

Afternoon hope you are having a good day. It looked like Rita enjoys her truck. If you didn't know the Fe 360 & 390 have the same bore size with a different stroke.

[@bradywatcherson498]

Beauty truck brother! Good to see ya on the upswing. Billy LaCount makes great videos, hope he ramps it up again....I'll hit the thumbs up!

[@joeallbright3245]

BBR you are cornering the market on the old Ford & Merc's! Go Bro Go!

[@gregprince2523]

Billy don't forget our old motors are used to real gasoline with lubricity in it.... not the corn blend methanol that dries out the innards and seals of our motors. The old ones were built to last, the new ones are built to fail to turn over the tax money.

[@MySqueakyfoot]

Nice addition to the Ford family. Old er 250's have and always will be my favorite.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

just somethin bout them eh!

[@artmonk5907]

Great old truck! I've been eyeing up a 72 . Might just snag it up. Fun stuff!

[@kevinhall2266]

Sounds like a trip to Morgan’s! He’ll fixer up for ya.

[@smallbusinesspatriot]

Make sure you check the oil pressure, the 360 has oil pressure issues in the bottom. I've had 3 '76 Fords and that bottom is the issue. Oil pressure Guage saved me each time. I'm a little jealous, she looks good friend.

[@tonyjones9715]

Great Looking truck👍 I had a 1972 Hi Boy the Best truck I ever owned. Would love to get one again.

[@samc.291]

Billy Ray, right here's just one more reason why I like you even more and more each and every day, you are a Ford truck man and in my opinion they are the best trucks ever made... A person won't find a better work truck than a Ford, even though a Dodge is really good but I still like my Fords the Best

So stinking cool!!! Love the old Fords cant beat-em congrats buddy

great video buckin.havent comment for a while but a watch every video.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

Awesome truck. Hope to see you driving around! Sounds like a timing issue. Points and condenser if it is still stock or a stretched timing chain would be my bet.

Hello Billy, I do know how you feel with your cat. My cat is 23 years old and had great health she started getting a growth and turns out she’s dying of cancer, 23 years. That’s the bright side of it God gave me 23 years to take care of that cat and I had a great time with her. Anyway I’d like to say don’t worry about your cat, but I know you don’t worry about nothing. Anyway y’all have a good night

[@samc.291]

Billy my dad used to have the 72 model and 73 model Ford trucks that were two-wheel drive like that one and I guess the camper series truck and both of them had the 360 engines in them and you are exactly right,, they are not anything like a 390 but a 360 definitely loves gas and they always seem to have vacuum leaks somewhere that will drive you nutzz, trying to find them and that truck sounds like it has a vacuum leak somewhere and that will take a lot of power away from the engine,, until you can locate it and correct it
