Project Rundown! #1 My 1971 Ford F100

Since i'm planning to change up this truck this summer, I thought it would be good to go over the entire truck and talk about all the parts on it. Basically every nut and bolt on this truck I talked about so if you ever had questions about my truck this video should answer it for you!

Craig, I really admire your enthusiasm and dedication in what you do with your truck. It is like a breathe of fresh air seeing someone with the same passions as my generation did when we were young. The favorite car of mine I built was a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda. Thanks for sharing. Eric

[@pmimagery1295]

Thanks heaps, for showing us your truck. I enjoyed every second of this video!

[@JunkyardDigs]

Huh... this surprisingly similar to my F100 under the hood

[@Bbbbad724]

I had a beige one. My first vehicle. I built a 10.8:1 410 FE and a toploader. I had to sell the engine to get married the guy is still running 10s with the engine and trans. He refreshes it every 3 years. Rings and bearings and he won’t sell it back that was 1980. I put the engine that is in my Galaxie in it. We drove it daily until I refreshed it.

[@jesseduke694]

Hey man, like Waylon Jennings said, " it ain't how u look, it's what u got under your hood!"

[@theredbaron057]

Great breakdown, thank you. I have a 74 and enjoyed seeing what you did.

[@overlandperformance338]

Im So Excited About the Upcoming Build!!!!!!

[@michaelskrhak6518]

The one thing that is a wow factor for me is your throttle linkage! Idk why but that's my favorite 😂😂

[@PracticallyStock]

I guess trucks used to live hard working lives, my 68 GMC was beat similar to how your’s seems to have been and was also left in a field for years. It’s really cool to have a vehicle like these that have a lot of character and history. Enjoyed hearing the story of your truck.

[@KC-lg7tx]

Damn, Im going to start on mine this summer. Well getting parts, it is a 73 f250 with a flatbed(will change eventually) has a 390 fe according to the tags, its coming out because it needs lifters and whatever else. Cab seals are first because it has to be outside, water and wasps love coming in.

[@SpyroRoar]

Im probably the only one here with a C20,lol I'm learning more stuff about old trucks by watching your videos tho keep it up

[@Grady_OBS]

I love the old look of the truck and the fact you tried to keep is 100% original, I really cant wait to see you re-paint (Or get someone to repaint it). Wish that I had gotten a project truck like this. Love the videos, keep em up!

[@jimhughes5255]

My buddy had in blue with a high metallic finish and it actually really worked on this truck with all the chrome pieces.

[@cartercookson6706]

Coolest f100 by far

[@redneckpapaw3683]

When I first started watching your videos I thought that you were just some young punk kid that didn’t know squat about these old fords but after watching a lot of your videos I see you are very knowledgeable and very passionate about these old trucks. Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy them. I used to have an all original white 78 that was super nice but somebody made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. I’m currently looking for a rust free bump side. I’m from the dirty south mississippi and finding rust free old truck is almost impossible

[@redneckpapaw3683]

Travis Bennett thanks Travis

[@TheThirdWheel618]

Take a trip to Cali enjoy the sun you find em all day out here running great condition for 3,000 or less there not super popular out here Chevy is I bought my 69 f 250 camper special for 2k Chevy was 5 or more same or worse condition .

[@Bbbbad724]

You can put one size richer on the the rods with a step stiffer on the springs under the power pistons, then go to the middle hole. You won’t believe the response.

[@patrickdubeau7131]

Thanks for the video! I Just both a 1971 F-100 and i'm not a mechanic guy. But as you can imagine it's a kinda scary to see all the repairs stuff but i hope i'll get some tips from you to achieve a little dream and not bankrup myself with it! lol Thanks and have a good day ! (from Québec)

[@khtruckn]

I like the headliner

[@gilchevy]

killer truck

[@phillipmorris2418]

Looking good can't wait to see more videos

[@the4x4life99]

I also love what u are doing plan to do the same with a future truck

[@679-v7x]

That thing is so cool

[@Amy-wh3dt]

Cool ford

[@travisbennett5839]

Park worker was just jealous of your sweet F100 is all ;-)

[@justinwilliams5545]

Yep it's 2020, but I got a 69 Ford f100 and its actually really clean, ofc I live in Oklahoma so it's not gonna really be bad, but I love those headlights and tires, I'm planning on taking my dash out to reupholster it, and get bucket seats maybe, and audio down the road, and if it stays long enough lower it maybe.

[@scottboettcher]

I have a '68 F-100 with a built 427. What's killing me is the inside door handle (latch). I had to take off the door panel to get an old mirror off, and after I replaced it, I tried to get it all together again, and I can't get that dang latch in right to open the door...I wish someone, anyone would show how to deal with these door internals! Thanks for the video - love the truck, and hope to see more on it!

[@MayhemGarageMS]

Are you going to put a locker in the rearend of the f100 Craig

[@eanhartman9574]

Awesome video man! Love the truck too!

[@ryanbechel8149]

I had the same thing happen in my truck, to fix the inside door handle on the driver side, don't put the screws that screw the arm rest in the door all the way, keep them tight, but not too tight

[@ct9827]

I like the white!

[@rcaddict25]

You kinda game me inspiration for my truck im very picky about having original "from the factory" parts for my cars but if they look better that original like my swiss cheese rear bumper then im gonna replace it, if u were wondering i have a 98 chevy 5.0 rwd ext cab truck its gonna be my "muscle" truck even tho it has the 5.0 but its still a v8 so im good with that also nice job on the f100 thing is so sick

[@sargentgamer5774]

i agree about keeping original sadly my trucks been painted 3 times before i bought it

[@joeidaho5938]

Just got a new fuel tank today for my 92 F250...and it was also smashed in on one end. I was desperate to get it back on the road, so I put up with it...but it really sucks. Had to add some extra padding on the bottom so the strap would still wrap tightly. Sucks to buy something new and install it already damaged.

[@juanochoa1514]

Nice truck bro nine explain everything about it I liked it even to the gas pedal part that you made a mechanics are mechanics got to do what you Gotta do

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Craig the 67 f-100 is the only year to not have those side marker lights on the rear corners. those valve covers are off of a 84/85 Mustang GT. i have a set just like them , that some day when i swap in my 302 they will be on there. your truck looks Bitchin.

[@olmoe1167]

Really enjoyed hearing about everything done on your truck,, have seen most of what you talked about and have done on it, by watching your videos.... keep them coming... I also have a Classic Ford truck as a Daily Driver,, Dentside '76 F-100,, SWB, Same factory color as yours, 302 2 bbl, auto, All stock except for the duel exhaust...Have people asking if it's for sale all the time...Bet you do as well.... Got to keep'em running, 'Cause they ain't making anymore... Later Craig,, Steve on East Coast...

[@FlatheadGarage]

love your truck

[@the4x4life99]

Try using a chain for the door handles

[@_skidge_7447]

I believe it's ACC a carpet place. I love the carpet I got for my truck. They also have the vinyl.

[@scottmerillat6765]

Great video

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Liking the shirt!

[@stevenbarna8528]

Keep up the good work

[@lukedoiga9749]

I want an old f100 like that’s so bad

[@ohdamnitsthatguy60]

interesting point..... you do not have an engine bay BUT your truck does.

[@sysawatphaly2903]

Thank you for detailed explanation...where can I get the headlights...thank you from Houston TX

[@thecommonsensecapricorn]

Oh man. I just got a patina 1971 Ford F100. It looks sweet… totally rusted out though. That was part of the appeal to me though. I came to this video to see about your fuel pump switch but you don’t have one :/ I just bought the truck for $2000 (he was asking $3k) and as soon as I got home the fuel pump switch stopped working so I can’t get any fuel to start the truck ☹️

[@bradpugh7470]

Love your vids

[@NEWORLEANSYAT]

Hey, awesome content. Can you please provide the exact part number for the headers. Much appreciated

[@bigblockchevy9213]

nice truck

[@nonamen6370]

My 72 crew cab has the same problem with the door handle all 4 had been taken off

[@peterpower0495]

Craig where did you get that shirt??

[@larryhoffman5066]

Yeah that is a cool shirt Craig where did you get it

[@jamesbascombe8274]

My 68 short box was white and blue two tone at one time.

[@jamesbascombe8274]

Yea a lot of them were used as work trucks. Mine was used for setting up mobile homes. So my bed floor has a big dip at the back from being over loaded with blocks.

[@MidnightRunCreations]

If you daily you should really upgrade to the over the shoulder seatbelts Safer

[@MegaBambooshoot]

Hey Craig, Thanks for your posts. What mpg are you getting with the 302 set up?

[@crazyryan2689]

Are you going to keep the original patina or will you eventually repaint the truck?

[@luisantoniogutierrezvalles9545]

Nice truck friend, i have one of these truck and i love it, maybe same condition as yours, but i want to know how the of size tires¿I apriciate your information and follow your channel, Thank you.

[@76Fordblue]

Nice!!

[@kylemagee]

I have a 68 f100 shortbed (390 4spd) and I have the same kinda problem with the driver side door handle too. But mine is if I screw the armrest all the way in I can’t open the door, like it blocks the opening mechanism

[@josephcarlosruiz8934]

Getting this exact year and model for 500 bucks. Its got some rust and a small hole that needs to be bondo'd and sanded primes and painted. It needs a new carberator and ignition but it's got a 390 big block in it. Mind you the only cars I've driven were 6 cylinders.. Just wanna make sure I dont wreck such a beautiful truck out of ignorance of the power held underneath that hood

[@josephcarlosruiz8934]

Scratch that it's a 70' f-100 still great truck and they definitely will not build trucls like 'em anymore

[@Richardv24]

Did you ever get it???

[@davehollamon1985]

i've owned plenty 10' - 20' ers. Nothing wrong with that.

[@johnt4060]

I found one absolutely identical to yours. $1500 been sitting for 20years

[@mrgitarman]

God that engine looks nice. I'm so jealous of this truck. Well intended grammar correction. Paint is called WIMBLEDON white. No such word as it "costed" me. Also a lot of guys say "these ones" or "those ones". SB "these" or "those"

[@AnthonySvt_]

Might get a 67 f100 tomorrow

[@murica9746]

El_De_La_Lobo did you?

[@Shmity1962]

I had a 71 custom. It rusted so bad the body mounts were gone and the steering shaft got bound up and failed.

[@nathanhansen3467]

I have the same problem with my door handles, I can barely get the driver side open and can’t even get open my passenger

[@justsomebody8461]

Join OFRD 619 and set that up for the dirt

[@badmofo6462]

[@jackwatters9502]

Just subscribed man, you've got a bitchin truck! I've got an 86 F250 4x4 with a 302. But it's getting a 460 soon! Keep up the videos!

[@anthonyj.hatfield3171]

Ok, have to ask, where did you get the awesome t-shirt you are wearing in this video? I have looked everywhere and cannot find anything even close!

[@JackSpeed]

why did you cap off the distributor vacuum?

[@americanfun3519]

Thats sick. I'm trying to get my truck running and legal to pass inspection. You can see it in my channel if you want. Keep it up!

[@luisortega4970]

Did you do anything with the floor on the inside of the cab? Like did you remove any carpet that was previously there

[@nathang203]

I think it is a 1972 because it has four sections on either half of the grille

[@fordfcien699]

Aye man thats a cool t shirt Where did you get it?

[@sandmangaming4434]

Where did you get the headlights?? I would like to have some for my 69 f100

[@bobbymorris3350]

[@masonthomas2482]

[@kadenprimm7471]

Where did you get your headliner!!

[@fourwheelvehicles979]

kaden primm around 12:35 he talks about where he got it . . .I know you asked him but just trying to be nice

[@obsessedwithcars219]

[@Thecraig909]

C and g Ford.

[@alfredogonzalez2]

Where did you get that tshirt??

[@cfcsvlog]

where did you get that flag on the headline?

[@JohnsonT2724]

Why don't you have a back bumper and wonder how the truck would look with red line tires

[@travisbennett5839]

Travis Johnson red line tires would look pretty good I think. The white letter cooper cobras look good too, but yeah, red lines would suit it just fine.

[@Hotshot0114]

Where you get that shirt??

[@fourwheelvehicles979]

I think im the only person here with a more modern truck and well 98 obs sqaud

[@HomeTownGaming125]

FourWheelVehicles Ive got a 95 suburban. Youre not alone!

[@TheThirdWheel618]

Actually that paint would not be hard to bring back it's single stage my F250 was as or worse than yours I went to harbor frieght bought that cheap variable speed buffer the fine cut paint cleaner they had and a wool buffing pad and tried it . I could see my reflection when I was done never did it before some parts I lightly sanded it with 2,000 then buffed it out single stage paint is the best ford used enamel thick paint .

[@JoseCampos-fg1ig]

Where did u get that shirt

[@jimmyedwards1992]

What kind of gas mileage does this get?

[@dominictapia9328]

How much was your truck I’m 16 and I bought a 02 Chevy and I want a ford to

[@kylemagee]

Cowboy Tapia For shortbed f100’s it depends on where you live and the engine because at least in NorCal there isn’t many shortbeds so we luckily found my 68 f100 shortbed for 7k(it took an extra 9k to get it where it is now without paint). If you don’t care about shortbed or longbed you can pick up clean longbeds around 5k all day

[@sergioherrera3029]

Why is your hand all over in the video 🤪 ??????
