[@acuraintegra101]

You may not find them for 2 dollars but you can get these trucks anywhere for under 2000 bucks I see them for sale on craigslist for between 500 to 1000 all the time there not hard to get ahold of here in North Carolina. The ones around 2000 have little to no damage and very low mileage. The cheaper ones have higher miles and some body damage but not going to stop the truck from running and doing its job. I've pulled these engines apart with over 300k and the internals look almost brand new just keep the oil changed and change antifreeze every 3 years and you will get over 300k. on my 4.9l 300 inline big 6 that's the heart of my 1995 efi 5 speed trans f150. I've got over 300k on mine and it still runs like brand new. Best truck I've ever owned hands down. I plan to keep this truck for life even if I have to ever rebuild it I have 0 dents and the only rust is very light surface rust in the bed but nothing that can't be sanded and I will be putting a spray rhino bed liner.

Ha ha, loving the new glasses Scotty! Thank you for the great content

[@Game-ib3ql]

He looks sexier?

[@pstrass6353]

Scotty is more entertaining and enjoyable than 80% of any other channel!

I love that red 80’s interior 🔥

[@phillipslife8716]

I respect the creativity with you in the bed shot.

The cylinder deactivation, and even worse, the "start-stop" functions, where the car shuts down when you come to a complete stop, you just know a) that cannot be good for the engine and, b) it's just another thing to go wrong. I think they do it to meet fuel efficiency standards (?).

Mine has 3.25 rear end, 3 speed automatic, 2wd, and 30.5x10.7r15 (265/75r15) tires and I average between 15-16mpg (if I keep her at 65 or under) at 60mph she runs right at 2k rpm.

Yep, when I was a pizza delivery driver I had to replace my starter from all the starting/stopping... Then I started leaving my car on, while parked at customer's houses. You only get so many starts from a starter motor. Funny thing... my starter burned out literally while I was delivering to an auto repair shop. Guess who fixed it.

I’m never that lucky in life 😂....been looking for 1 of these

[@robertcollins7515]

Scotty just drove the price up...

[@ET74019]

@@robertcollins7515 😂...already up if in good shape, saw one yesterday 23,000...don’t think it will sell that high but still

[@markprice2225]

My Dad had 1 in light blue with the 3 on the🌲 & a straight 6. He loved that truck! Still drives a Ford to this day! Has F150 & I drive a Mustang GT, last car was an Explorer Sport

[@cltracy2921]

These old 80s Fords are awesome! Mine is an 86 f150 4x4 with the 300, 4spd manual, limited slip rear diff, dual gas tanks, power windows and door locks, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. It needs some work but even then it's a blast to drive.

[@robertphillips6296]

I’ll give him $5,000.oo for it!

[@stuchbrosmnore8627]

It's a 6 Straight.

[@ewanlyall5159]

What's your opinion on squarebody chevy's

[@kennywhiddon1497]

Square body GMC and Vhevy trucks are great.

[@quintenmaccalla5109]

I used to own an 85 F-150 with a 300 inline 6 and I used to use that bastard to pull over trees when they were hanging over houses when I was cutting them down the low end torque on those things is honestly astounding

[@mediumshrimp9696]

My first truck was an 88’ F-150, 300 i6. I blew it on the way to school one morning, so I bought an 82 F-100, 300 i6, a couple months later (same year as the 88) I blew it on the way to church. Dropped a 302 in my f100, I’ve been driving it for 5 years.

[@stevedeleon8775]

I learned to drive on my dads 1965 Chevy trk 250 straight six with "three on the tree" shifter

[@angryshoebox]

Ah, those 85 MPH malaise-era speedometers, from the days of the "double-nickel" speed limit. That truck can probably bury the speedo given enough time.

[@xaenon]

I got the impression that my '82 could probably reach 90 if I really wanted it to, but I never ran it that fast, and 'speed' wasn't really what the 300 inline was built to do anyway. Their forte was durability, reliability, low maintenance, and off-idle torque - all of which they achieved, in spades. It could roll at 60-65 while loaded, without any sense of 'effort', and that was sufficient. The 85 mph speedos never bothered me anyway.

[@rustyramblings5807]

I bought a 1981 F-100 in 1995 for $1900. It had 75,000 miles.2wd short box with the 300 -6 cyl and a 3 sod manual with 4th as overdrive.I drove it for 12 years.Had to do a clutch,and the water pump like 3 times.I got upwards of 25 mpg if I was on flat ground.I even put a chrome tube grill just like the one you show on this video.Thanks.
