I love Ford trucks from this era and this one is a real beauty! I'd love to own it!

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

I couldn't stop looking at the rats nest in the glove box, when you were driving it home. Was waiting for something to crawl out. That radio delete is awesome though. I'd just keep it in there.

[@tegansmith5856]

A1967 with radio delete is fairly rare, but one with factory heater delete is something I’ve never seen before. Love it! I recently handed down my ‘71 F100 short wide bed to my son, my grandkids love it now!

[@mercuryman1958]

I owned one like this in the late '70's. The cab settled due to rusty cab supports . Big old 240 with a Hurst 3 speed on the floor. I painted it with a brush and drove it for years. I now have a '93 F150 with the 300 six and a five speed, and will drive that one until it drops. {only 142K right now.}

[@BudgetBuildz]

Very cool! Hate she rotted out but that was the fate of many!

[@Bri-tg6xr]

I'm 35, I appreciate this vintage stuff. Always have, all my machines are 80's vintage ATC's etc. My son (aged 6) takes one look at this truck and says it's a pile, I smile and say "yep, and that's how we like it" He was so dang confused! Gotta love it. haven't even watched the video and im already loving it! Revised- That nest in the glove box is giving me the heebies though!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Haha nice! Yeah, pretty much. Mine don’t mind getting in there with me at this point but when they get older I’m sure they’ll be a little less interested. Thanks! Haha yeah it was gross

[@jonathansparks7558]

Just listening to that old 240 6-cylinder running brings back sweet memories of my 1967.

[@scottcrockett8270]

Love these old F100s

[@79beans347]

That's a cool project truck and would make a cool street rod, looks like she has good bones and shined up nice, now it's back to the comet to start tearing the motor apart to get ready to start building a 347 stroker out of it 😁

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thanks! You know it!! 😁

[@tanhelmet]

my Dad had an similar model (1971) but longer bed. I learned how to drive "3 on the tree. I remember he had a co-worker cut out the bevel (45 degree) in order to flatten them and support a camper shell and scrounged a spare tire rack on the l driver's side (funny, it was always flat). I remember he replaced the wood boards with some fine hickory that we routered, stained and sealed. he sold it to my youngest uncle in 1987. My uncle was inspired by the Dodge L'il Red Express. and painted it Ox blood on top and midnight blue on the bottom. trust me it looked awesome.

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

I love that it's a step side. You don't see too many from that era.

[@jerrydwyer9057]

Short bed step side make it 300+ percent better

[@jimg4915]

Agreed. I just picked up a black one with 99,000 miles. She's a beaut

[@markreisen7038]

It would be called a FLARESIDE. REMEMBER THAT IT's a FORD AND NOT A BRAND c.

[@jerrydwyer9057]

@@markreisen7038 thought flareside was after about 1985 when the fenders weren't near as cool. I had a 1984 flareside:) near the last of the cool fender fords. I recalled about 1989 they were called flareside with a less pronounced fender.

[@jerrydwyer9057]

Ok. So pre 1957 the were all just all pickups with external fenders. 1957- was a ford flareside. Learn something new all the time. Even after 20 years have passed since 13 yrs of f150 ownership:) first time i heard flareside it was for ugly (imo) external wheel wells in 1989 or so. And apparently they may have really been called the "styleside" reusing the initial name for a regular straight sided full box truck?

[@robertlacob8831]

Nice!!! I love that original color! Engine still a little noisy, more work, running time needed. What a difference.

[@michaellucht6351]

Old style John Deere implement yellow is a perfect match for that, had a 75 F100 same color, had a 300 in it.

Mike, you really know how to find a diamond in the rough! Ive watched a couple of your videos like the yellow f-100 and the 1961 Galaxie and the old Fairlane. I wish I had the money to buy one of your diamonds. I want to have one of the older cars for my wife. I would like to have one, because it is easy to work on. I would put the wood bed back in it and it would be my daily driver. That is bringing it back to life.

[@americanborn3151]

I would absolutely love to have an old truck like that. So much personality in that thing. If it could talk, you can only imagine what it would have to say.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Being from the UK, I know nothing about American trucks. However, seeing an old beast like this get a new lease of life is brilliant. Keep 'em coming!

[@dannycasler4959]

If you put the truck on level ground where it can't roll away you can take your floor jack and put a short piece of 4/4 on it and jack up on the bed I would bet it would bend that cross member back to where it belongs, and if you have a port a power I think while you have a jack to support the step you could jack the top of the bed up by pushing from the step! I would try it at least! I think I would sell some other projects and keep this one! It's cool as can be! Awesome truck! I love the step sides!

So good, so easy to work on, so practical, and so nice. I would rather have one like that than a new one.My pickup is twenty years old and I wouldn't trade it for a new one. I can go to the grocery store and sit the sacks over the side of the bed, drive home reach over and pick them out. Can't do that with a new one without a ladder. Not to mention those damn computers and check engine lights that come on for no reason except to cause a rather large repair bill. Keep up the good work.

[@brucebyrnes5996]

[@67Stang]

Man that is a good looking truck. Love the color. It is the same color as my Mustang. I think that is Springtime Yellow. My stang has the original paint as well.

[@bobcooke6346]

Enjoyed this rescue of the F100, being in the U.K. it’s not something you come across often here, but, back in the early seventies I went gliding a couple of times, and as the tow plane was grounded, they would put a cable around a static ground based pulley, hook it up to the F100, which would then drive fast down the runway pulling the glider up, the truck and the glider could then release the cable when required.👍🙂

[@slowshedgarage7409]

I think the fleetsides always look better but the step sides are gaining popularity. Either way nice work.

[@MaxGiganteum]

Yes, I know this is over 2 years later... but I'll toss in anyway. "Fleetside" is a Chev term for the wide box type of bed. Wide boxes for Ford are Styleside. Narrow boxes for Chev are Stepside and for the Ford it's Flareside. I'll concede that over my lifetime, Stepside had become somewhat of a generic term for any truck or van that had a step built into the side of a bed or a cargo box bolted to a chassis but I rarely hear it anymore and it's almost always used by guys even older than I am. Interestingly, it seems that nobody under the age of about 40 even uses ANY of the proper terms or knows them at all. It actually often makes me chuckle a bit when I get funny looks from the younger crowd when those terms come up... because I recognize that they're clueless as to what they are. I'll note that while getting old can be amusing, it still blows. Best wishes! 👍🏻 🛻 - Max Giganteum
