Is this Ford truck worth saving?

[@sporty196071]

You have some great projects,but time is the problem I have. I putting a 67 Shelby 500 together as close to original as I can. Then drive it, weather permitting. Then sell it, and get a project i want a 60s gm, and a old Harley Davidson . I don't have many years left. I'm 64 handicapped and a lump in my brain. But I still love old muscle cars.

[@fukemallgarage]

Good luck sporty. Sounds like you know how to have a good time!

[@diggerspeedshop80]

I'm not a Ford guy, but I like those trucks alot! Reminds me of the one my grandpa had. Save it!!!

[@vehdynam]

Boy , you are a busy man !!! Thanks for saving that fine old F1.

[@Mjm-fb4rb]

I had a turbo EXP, paid 350 bucks for it 25 years ago, it was fun!

[@JamesHill-us3is]

Love ur work. Glad to see little guy has the bug.

[@earlarthur9378]

You need to call Bolts & Nuts for that beautiful shop of yours!!

[@justinvanburen8259]

Hell yeah!!! Great episode!!

[@stephenlea5765]

Relocated to Dave’s Salvage Yard (of future projects). Thanks for the update.

[@michaelguinn5736]

SAVE IT!! Glad you're grabbing the COE too.

[@jessedavis999]

Just a thought here, start letting your boy film while you’re working and commentating a little. Free it up one less thing for you to worry about, seems like it could also add some laughs! 😂 no criticism here just a thought 👍🏼🇺🇸 I enjoy every video and Wesley’s channel as well! Thanks

[@DeathRockRadioTampaFlorida]

I drove the exact same Yazoo mower for years in the late 80s those things are beasts. That's a wicked cool find haven't seen one in 30 years at least 🍻

[@bottomdollargarage644]

Brother it’s in the air, I just bought a claapppppeeeed out 55 f100. There is not much left but I couldn’t pass. Same thing I bought it for scrap and it had a title.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

So many Escort EXP's! Haven't seen one of those in a while, looked cool back in the day.

[@zambonidriver42]

Was gonna ask about the Jr Dragster. I think we’d all love to see your son in a suit/helmet, going to the strip, and learning how to cut a light.

[@patrickfahring6086]

Love your wiring bin. I've driven hundreds of miles to and from the hardware store. 😮😅

[@davidgough1161]

We all live in the land of the misfit toys. Dave you are a good guy!

[@michaelteasdale2919]

Your Mrs must love you constantly bringing home projects?…….😮

[@DonaldTillman-w3d]

Yes blown big block 👍👍👍👍no LS come on 12 volt

[@Drew-tj8gz]

When I was 25. A semi totalled my company truck. My boss gave me a red 50 Ford. 302 fmx. Tinted glass mag wheels looked like a hot rod Sanford truck )

[@kenfrazier616]

great to save old iron, if you don't use it least your passing it along awesome way to think

[@the_og_scootkentwest7495]

That chopped up truck is sweet. I have a couple of motor transmission options for it if I have it. Out here in southern California I would take the roof off and enjoy the sun. Totally down to take it and make it something fun.

[@roywhitman7109]

Absolutely love that Chevelle!! 👍

[@johndelgrosso6234]

Love the 4 door 55

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Same as my 48 Bus! ✌🏻

[@williamm8598]

YES!!!! SAVE IT!!! My wife would love something like that 48

[@davidgough1161]

You have good help today, the "bearded wonder" is really good to have around!

[@coyboybc]

I could use the doors and hood off the old truck you loaded! EXP were popular funny cars back in the day ! Kenny Bernstein and others had EXP BODIES. Motor coach is cool! Glad your neighbor isn’t putting a LazySwap engine in his truck Need you to wire my 48 ford truck Got some wiring problems

[@tyrusrice635]

Man MotorTrend is going to shut this video down for you giving out their show projects Lmaoo 😂😂😂 but man I love that you guys have so many projects then most people have fingers and toes 😂😂 you will never run out of content to shoot between your projects, your son’s and your buddies. David you’re a great man who has a great channel keep up the good work and good will always follow!! Blessings bro💯

[@lonniem9728]

The 65 Malibu is literally my dream car 😍

[@matzrat5006]

Top shelf pickup, back in the day.

[@robertedwards6438]

Love the look of it! Put some yellow headlights in er and have some fun with it!!!

[@jamesshirley5875]

I have to admit, I’m pretty jealous of the wiring setup you got there!

[@shadetreepartsswapper]

I was wondering where all the EXP's went.. now I know..

[@TheMasterofsparks]

Thank you for offering up some of these projects, if I was closer I’d grab the one with the bad chop.

[@RIPSRIDES57]

Those western hauler vans were the thing when I was a kid thought they were so cool. I need all the 57 chevy stuff lol Right door and front cap for my wagon and hood for my yellow 2 door

[@johnblood3731]

I had two like that. Tore on down to the bare frame. Wife got sick and they had to go to. NEW HOME. there are still a lot of those trucks hiding in the weeds. Take care.

[@AlecRoth97]

I envy that electrical setup Dave. super cool and very well organized

[@xozindustries7451]

Call sleeper dude for the turbo coupe. The diesel van and the conversion van would make a good combo

[@TurboChicken313]

I see T-bizzle 2.0 just sittin there. Snatched up that turbo coupe

[@thefounding5879]

That Malibu is sweet!!! SCORE!!!!

[@FordShelby-i6z]

When I was 16 the Ford dealership had a `49 F1 parts truck, first pickup I ever drove .Fast forward 50 years I have `50 Merc M1 on a `80 Chev C10 chassis!

[@tomeickhorst6787]

This is by far my favorite body style ford

[@shadetreepartsswapper]

Riley and her family are awesome.

[@aldenlarrick503]

Man he has all the exp. I have had a few and they were a fun car.

[@richardbarthelme6323]

...great to have you back...

[@papercut138]

Frame swap. Crown Vic!👍👍👍

[@barryhebert5839]

looks like yard art to me

[@billyhaddock5540]

David, ur set-up shop and vehicles is what every guy dream about.. ur Son will ve set-up when he gets older..

[@patriotbrickrepairhotrodsa6099]

It'd work good for a pond waterfall center piece

[@bryanhough]

If I was closer to you I’d buy it right now.

[@TerryMillican]

My sister had a green one 55 identical to yours😂❤❤❤❤

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Dave

[@robertvandervelden5917]

Right off the bat.... Chubby Bob ;)

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow!!!!!!!!!! 👍 🙂

[@keystoneweapon1]

Wow, I really like that truck, that’s awesome!!

[@moreschmoo]

I mean the scoop suits the car! 😂

[@flipppy83]

7:09 I remember those motor coaches, back in 1999/2000 my late second cousin owned a boat repair shop in a marina locally and had one of those he used to haul boats around

[@dk832002]

I always loved those cut off ford deck vans

[@dascooter8287]

Lucas can barely reach the pedals and has a better collection than most of us out here. Lol

[@NickManCuso59]

My dad had one similar to this one till my brother got hold of it and traded it for a Chevy front end clip that he was going to use on a 50s Chevy hotrod pickup he was building.

[@matzrat5006]

yes it is worth saving.

[@TheTalonts]

I had a 1986 Escort GT, I would LOVE to have an XP, but my wife would KILL me for trying to add even ONE to our lot let alone 8! I used the EXP floor piece to replace the back seat in my GT as soon as I could find one in a boneyard in the 80s. At least one made into a car mag in the 80s/90s with a 495/505 stuffed in it. I SO wanted to put a twin-turbo 302 in one. I STILL regret selling my Escort GT in 1996 when moving cross country. It was clean, I had upgraded it with power EVERYTHING, massive stereo, etc. I miss that car.

[@MrCunningham4]

Of course it's worth saving, it looks good just sitting in a tree row, better than most new trucks

[@scottgoforth7227]

Yes save it

[@RMonkey]

That scrap truck should cost about $300 and the amazing beard at 6:49 is priceless.

[@OkieDokieCreations]

That F100 is a perfect vehicle to teach your boy how to chop a top!

[@robertmcfarland3323]

It's worth it if you got the money

[@davidnelson5116]

Tell Sleeperdude about the turbo coupe

[@jsr3793]

Is it junk? Yes. Yes it's junk. Is it worth saving. Also yes. Not everything needs to be perfect. Every nut and bolt doesn't need to be aligned perfectly. Wrinkles and scars make an object more interesting.

[@MrCunningham4]

Scars on cars are like one ones on men, it just lets you know they're probably dangerous

[@Blacktop73]

More people need to save these older car bc you never know about the future might have in store for us and guess what you can't kill an old Ford motor that don't need Electronic

[@Blowinshiddup]

That thing would be gold up here in Atlantic Canada. Old finds are rare as hen's teeth... don't know where that saying came from.

[@doubleeagleaudio]

We must save them all!!! 👍

[@jamosgarage9006]

That rusty Ford was definitely worth saving. You have almost enough vehicles, almost.

[@dansimmons1964]

I know RRBob was looking for one a while back. I hope he's doing ok. Haven't seen a video from him in a little while.

[@scottwhitmer2034]

Set it on an incline with a waterfall cascading into a fish pond out of the bed!

[@akhill4898]

Those ford exp s were the first car to have that 3rd center brake lite

[@brassknucklecustoms]

Definitely worth it.

[@dalefarmer4035]

I'm interested in that Ford truck

[@chrisecoff6155]

I might be wrong, but that looks like a '51 - the missing grille would look like a funky "log" exhaust manifold, if it is indeed a '51.

[@rob-f1c]

Dam wish u was closer would get shorty up and running asap .

[@aussiegonz]

never seen those exp escorts before, kind of a rebadged sierra cosworth

[@oldpath7357]

My buddy would like to get that F1....

[@iannorton4463]

David,,there is a guy on KZbin that only does old pick-up trucks. Surely you can find him.. ? ✌️👍🇬🇧

[@dCash117]

My dream is a tricked out first gen Ford escort. If I had any way to get one of those I'd call you in a second

[@jakeattaway]

Hello David my name is jake do you know where a guy can get a 55 chevy. My wife wants one and I wanna surprise her for her birthday next year. Love your episodes I watch all the time. Have a good day.

[@mikemccabe7124]

it's been a minute since I've seen another Ford dually van-up my dads brother & sister both had one of those they used back in their rodeo days of course back in late 80's they were like brand new cuz they both bought them new back then and I thought they were different then and I even drove one of them for like a month when he stuck in the hospital it was kindof weird to drive cuz was like a conversion van but rode stiff when it had no weight on it.. I'd love to get that 67-72 chevy from you I had 68 cst short bed that i spent 2 years restoring it in '91 & '92 and within an hour of it being finished it was hit by a 59 or 60 caddilac going 60mph on front driverside and it hit me so hard the back of it spun round and the driverside bed hit the back of it bending the whole truck and frame into da shape of a banana the whole truck was totalled beyond repair so picked up a 72 and started restoring it but had to sell it before I could do really anything to it I was going to do a 2" chop on the roof so the chop top is something I don't mind

[@scottwhitmer2034]

Sleeperdude might wat the turbo coup!

[@BIGLENBIGLENozozoz13]

That's a cool truck 🚒 fix her up

[@Dirtysouth81]

If you still have it and wanna part with it I’m interested for sure. I live in NC so we’re close.the pickup not the COE

[@Ziptiesandbalumwire]

Hey if that 68-72 dually with the hacked up top I’d be interested in I’ve got 1 69 c20 and a 1972 c30. I have a good c20 frame and enough parts to fix that truck up

[@csgilliam]

Dig those old Appliance mags on the front

[@ibraunchy20-vn5kd]

I want the 65 Malibu , will be a good addition to my 65 Elco

[@mdkzztop]

Looks like you have your work cut out for you Dave!

[@billzkustomz]

Put it on an Explorer chassis

[@jasonfikes9514]

If you dont mind me asking what carburetor are you using on your roots blowers? Great video as always. ✌️😁

[@stevejordan2810]

David, I would be interested in any parts for 57 2 door post. I found my first car from 40 years ago and it needs a lot. thanks Steve.

[@intentsmodz]

Hey Dave can you tell us when the new episodes are coming out? It seems since MT sold out to Discovery everything just sucks now. We got 1 new episode of Roadkill all summer & I unfortunately paid Yearly to get my Stubby Bob hotwheels. That's one pricey little toy. lol

[@michaelnastaszczuk7029]

I would take shorty if your gunna give her up, I miss having a C10, and have been looking for a cab or whole truck even with no title "I still have my vin plate from my old step side"

[@johnnyanger3822]

Sleeperdude should go after the turbo coupe

[@wingerfan1]

If you ever make your way to Alaska, perhaps you can come and help me unstick the engine on my 63 Pontiac, Le Mans. It's original.
