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!

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!

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.
