Since I sold my 1979 Ranger in 93, 29 years later I still wish I had Ole Thumper back. 11in lift kit 11 shocks 429 motor shift kit in trans 2800 stall speed 40 groundhogs, button tucked interior, 429 30 over, 456 gears, dual roll bar etc, Short bed color jet black. I've driven quite a lot of vehicles but I never felt as proud as I did while I was driving Ole Thumper. P.S. in 1994 I was thrown from a truck on I 95 over a 100 ft and since then getting another 78 79 hasnt been in the cards for me but I keep dreaming! Thanks for the revival show, great job!

[@mromatic17]

that would be a bad ass truck but having a high stall torque converter in a truck is kinda pointless! all the big block’s low end torque isn’t making it to the ground its just being converted into heat. I have a 1994 f-150 4x4 5.0 5 speed and i shift below 2500 and i get 20mpg and it has plenty of power up top as i have a bigger cam, intake and aluminum heads. it makes about 400 hp/tor and i can still get pretty good mpg’s down low. they high stall converters are only really good for 1 thing thats drag racing!

[@VictorSanchez-kp9nt]

Wow that's a lot of kick ass Ford's right there.

[@2039esmith]

Alot of other youtubers in TN.. Vice Grip, SleeperDude, Dylan.. I bet these could go fast if they find out. Those Torino's are tempting!

[@FordEra]

Nice, I dont know them personally but tennesee is a great state

[@johnsarian_cu]

Then I saw the quick pan to the 2 Mopars Dylan McCool is the first thing that popped into my mind. I bet he'd take 'em since he got space and just built a brand new shop.

[@montyhinton1613]

Drooling over all those trucks

[@loganplummer9422]

that wierd bumpside was really cool, looked like a crew cab but had the like sliding windows

[@scoobyroorogers]

[@gregpeacock1794]

That is so freaking cool Soloman congrats,!!!!!

[@americanmusclemaniac9565]

Dude I LOVE 70s fords and that right there is my dream collection

[@earlblakley4910]

Watching Dylan McCool. Seen you on there. Thought I was the only one interested in the old Ford trucks. I have a 72 Ford F-250 Explorer,Camper special. It's been in the family it's whole life. Can't blame you for buying the whole hoard! I would of done the same thing if I had a place to put them. Parts used to be everywhere and reasonable not anymore. It used to be fun to go around to the bone yards and get stuff. That's drying up too.

[@FordEra]

Heck yea man, you found a brother run blue. There definitely getting scarce

[@geraldodaniels9866]

In the garage!

[@jeffreycoppensjr4728]

I would love to find a 67-69 crew cab, I would want to flatbed it and 6bt swap it so the cab is mainly it.

[@offhandacoustic]

What an awesome collection of trucks. Can't believe you bought all of them though. The more I watch, the more I want a short bed dentside. Gotta get my bullnose done first but dang the dentsides are growing on me.

[@John3_16Q]

Dentsides are the best

[@joeshmoe1436]

Hell of a collection

[@LakeBath]

The one bullnose hiding in the back part of the lot. Lonely boy.

[@FordEra]

Haha

[@barbaraboswell9237]

so cool, makes me happy to see someone holding all these goodies. i'm in need of a good bump side hood , please let me know

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

This takes me back to my Dads 1980 FlareSide, I was 12 years when I replaced the Fuel Pump, I have been mechanically inclined since. Worked in Aerospace, Military Contracts... now with Warranties I let the Dealerships take of the car... that's not to say don't help relatives when I'm available 🌳👦🏻👍🏻🏎️🏁

[@patrkbukly]

Wow, what a score.

[@PapisGarage]

You did great SOLOMON!!!!

[@FordEra]

thank you

[@donryan623]

Well done Solomon I'm going to have to replay the video back a few times to figure out which one I want to buy lol

[@FordEra]

[@toro220d]

Dentside heaven somebody has got a good taste in trucks I love it It had all different kinds of years try to get the 1st Gen Ranger midsized truck loved the Dodge D series trucks glad you bought them and saved them 😀 👍 👏

[@smcinnes7017]

[@chadkalina1257]

My dad had a 75 f100 short box 2wd with 360 in it

[@Shawn63200]

Love that little green Sport Custom short bed and the blue with white graphic long bed. Gotta finish my 66 4wd Eco first

[@kevinwright1551]

Vary awesome indeed. I love the collection indeed. Keep up the great work. Okay.

[@pre-64winfordguy65]

Nice deal! Thanks for sharing. Wish I had room for one.

[@FordEra]

Thanks for watching!

[@fordfandiecast]

Wow that is an awesome amount of great Ford history of trucks there!!!

[@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL]

I'm glad the value of all these trucks was in your budget.

[@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL]

The stack of ford 3/4 ton hubcaps on the shelf was really cool to a truck guy like me.

[@FordEra]

me too

[@lamenniti7350]

Damn good find,Skippy!

[@FordEra]

thanks

[@richardpassmore4213]

You did a super job

[@zacharywatters1843]

That is just insane!

[@michaelbottomley2520]

I like the pale yellow and white roof one

[@blindtomsadventures2067]

Yes I’m very interested in lots of those parts

[@ericdanielson1138]

E-mail sent . Heck you should have just bought the property too.

[@Mikey5Ohhh]

That is awesome! Super happy for you! I got ahold of a 70 power wagon single cab with a 383 big block I am churchin up a bit and going to sell or trade in hopes of a decent 70-75 crew cab. The stuff dreams are made of. Thanks for sharing! Eager to see what comes of all these gems. Take care.

[@benkoch7729]

Very very very cool man! Theynare all freakin awesome! Hopefully they all end up back on the road!

[@FordEra]

Hope so too

[@jeffreycoppensjr4728]

Holy shit dude, you just went nuclear.

[@FordEra]

lol

[@WildBillFlysRC]

Oh yeah! I would snag up that 66 F260 4by at five min in right now!

[@vaquero2485]

I'm interested in the Blue 66 and green crew cab let's work something out. And possibly an other Crew cab both manual 4x4 a must

[@oliverpetroski4205]

Sooo many cool Ford trucks. I wish we had the here in Europe as well🤩

[@mromatic17]

Damn if i had an extra 20k plus id buy a few off of you! I love everything here i can’t bring myself to waste money on buying a new car cuz they are like toasters to me!

[@victorkitzman7129]

All the trucks are cool im looking for a few parts myself

[@boozieboise]

I want to restore them all!

[@gonzalogochicoa6815]

Its Heaven

[@proyectogolfmk2]

Hi Men, love your channel. Chears from Argentina. Hope seen the B100 updates coming soon.

[@FordEra]

Coming soon!

[@lanceopperude5868]

I NEED a crew!

[@johnkranz4004]

I like the 32 Tanker Truck Good luck

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

If I had the money, I like to have 1 of each!

[@BobTheBreaker9]

Did i hear that right Solomon? You bought everything?! The work that would be to move that😅

[@nickefgen9219]

Ok......with that many trucks Solomon you need to build a six door crew cab diesel powered truck I wanna see that build, either a bump side or a dent side truck doesn’t matter to me you’re choice, could even do a 4x4 one.

[@FordEra]

you know i want a 6 door truck but in reality its a bit unpractical. I have such a long list of projects already that I cant add that too 😂

[@nickefgen9219]

@@FordEra yeah it would be cool to build one with all those trucks you have now. I was thinking use a dent side one...... build a six door one but add the super cab on the back end for just a little bit more room and either a 4x4 or two wheel drive

[@RCJesus420]

I can't believe you bought them all! lol Nicely done! No solid and rust-free 68 Cougar in there, is there? I recently scored two 427FE SIde Oilers, and I'm now looking for a 68 Cougar to put one in and do a Pro Street build. They're 68 blocks, so I'm really only looking for a 68, but a 67 or 69 could do for the right deal. I'm also interested in a solid rust-free driver dentside driver door, preferably in medium blue, and a solid and rust-free 78-79 Bronco Tailgate with the glass. :D I can drive down from Orlando and pick it all up if you have any of it. Plus, then my daughter and I can make a stop at the Coral Castle. I think that blue oddball supercab with the rear sliders on the cab is the coolest. Was that factory?

[@mrcr125er]

Just getting into this series. This is in my home town about 10min down the road from my house. Very cool to see. Let me know if you ever need any help while you’re in town. Also wouldn’t mind looking at buying a truck or two.

[@FordEra]

Email me [e-mail]

[@robertraber4770]

Now I see two of them

[@mikespringer9343]

Need more pictures of that dark truck indoors with custom paint

I break my neck every time I drive by there

[@ardem23]

[@OfficialStumpMan]

So happy you bought all of those I really hope you keep the ones with the body graphics. I would love to have that black dent side camper special but to get it shipped all the way to Las Vegas from Tennessee would probably be a bit right now.

[@FordEra]

thank you man, yea its like $1-2 a mile now

[@OfficialStumpMan]

@@FordEra wish I was still truck driving. I’d just get a load coming out there. LoL

[@numbnutsspeedshop]
