Save the f150 jay

[@ypickering3977]

Please save this! Not worth scrapping such a pretty truck...

[@adrianmatthews9325]

It blows my mind what people will scrap and only get 3 bills for it. I would have given that guy a grand. Such a nice truck.

[@Aspra]

This is clearly a car that can be sold. It's too nice.

[@dannya4974]

[@sandyv4819]

someone PLEASE! save this clean truck! I'm not much a ford guy but I can respect a really clean truck!

[@dodgeramdude16]

What the hell is wrong with people from where your from??? There seems to be quite a few good, nice looking vehicles that have been scrapped at your yard Jay... i just dont understand what goes through peoples minds

[@wildbill23c]

Not cool enough for them to ride around in and impress their friends and neighbors. Gotta have that new $60k+ truck with $1,000+/month payments in order to impress people...Sorry I like my stuff that's paid for and that I actually own, not the bank holding the title to.

[@danmackintosh6325]

@@bass-n-truth-inthestix9083 There's no other reason for scrapping a truck in that kind of shape, except maybe meth but then they'd have crashed it and it'd be full of shitty clothes too

[@GoldenLink87]

Expensive to keep on road, people dont take care of these trucks, they are beaters and unreliable for a daily....

[@michaelchan8915]

I think that truck is more than worth saving, to the right person. That's obviously an E4OD four speed automatic behind that 5.0L (302) V8. Just the relatively excellent overall condition of the body and frame alone, would make it worth saving.

[@wetlettuce4768]

It's rare to see one in this good a condition they're usually either all dented up from a hard life or rusty as hell

[@user-xg8yy7yl1d]

Manual swap it is the first order of business i think with that while figuring out why the engine has a bit of a rough running

[@brycejames2127]

Nice truck! Easy restoration for sure, great vid jay!

[@ryanwebb4578]

I wouldnt mind that old F150. Yes its old but hey it runs. It will need some TLC but thats no biggy. Its a nice truck. Please save it. Dont scrap it at all. Id buy it from you if i could. I need a vehicle badly. How you been Jay?

[@kenkrauklis765]

Brings back memories. I had a 89 XLT Lariat and loved it.

Damn I remember when those were new....how sad lol. The carpet just needs a good vacuuming and put some rubber floor mats down...good as new

[@emeyer6963]

[@Trance88]

Damn! An over 25 year old Ford F-150 In that good of shape would go for a pretty penny here in Michigan. Probably worth at least 4 grand in its current condition.

[@chargermaster586]

Trance88 my dad owns the 1988 version which is the same truck as this just minor improvements my dad has kept his in his heated shop since he bought it in 1991 and has zero rust and its a Chicago pickup lived its entire life in Chicago so yeah no rust all original red and he has his 92 f150 that he always used as a work truck.

[@michaelbenoit248]

No kidding. Its hard to come by an old truck like this in such good condition especially a good running gasser.

As someone who lives in the rust belt I love seeing clean trucks like that.

That’s my favorite generation Ford Trucks. Love the old ones.

[@rickarnold2671]

If someone brought that truck up north to NY or PA they could get a lot of money for it. You hardly ever see any rust free f150's anymore. Thanks for the great video Jay!

[@cpufreak101]

I know for a fact I could easily just give it a tune up and haul it up north to NY and easily ask $3,500. if it's 4X4 even $5K lol

[@dmcnamara9859]

Jay , had a neighbor buy a New Bronco back in the day when I was a kid...his Bronco had a near duplicate two-tone paint scheme with lots of over-spray in the door jams....including the tailgate area,etc...and that sticker-striping was meant to cover-up the not exactly straight paint-lines . He was a perfectionist...ended-up having the bodyshop that worked on his Ferrari/Lorinser SEC...give the New Bronco a just paint-job with zero defects!

[@DieHard50LMAN]

OMG that is an awesome looking truck. KEEP IT!!

[@torythefanman]

Thats a sweet looking truck. Defiantly worth saving. The paint could have been a dealer option or something. I know thats a Ford two tone.

+Jay Smart, the skip/hard start issue could be the vacuum line from the brake servo/booster being unhooked. Just noticed that, it seems like the master is fairly new too. Well worth saving.

[@wyattklingensmith8862]

I just bought a 1990 f150 xlt lariat similar to this one. 4.9 straight six automatic transmission 139 miles. The guy I bought it from his grandfather owned from new and put 135 thousand miles on it then it went to him and he had the transmission rebuilt and put less than 5k on it in the few years he owned it. Its in pretty good shape has power windows and locks its a single cab 2wd two tone

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL TRUCK

[@richardunicorn7879]

Nice truck. I like that style of F-150. Better than the new ones.

[@OldCarAlley]

It's totally worth saving... super solid! The 302 was the easiest on gas... better than the 300 six or the bigger V-8's. That era of Ford truck had a recall for paint peeling. It was most likely repainted at a Ford dealer years ago, under the recall. Swap out the trans with a good used one... no biggie... and a new exhaust system, with a good tune up, would make a awesome truck.

[@mromatic17]

yeah my 1994 f-150 4x4 5.0 5 speed gets 19mpg on average and over 20 on the freeway! the 302 is one of the best engines ever made!

[@thekingsilverado9004]

That's a little Gem... A diamond in the rough. My buddy Dirk Halbach brought one here not too long ago a 1992 150 Lariat Extended cab same colors too it was pretty truck always like that dual louver like rear windows Ford really should bring that back. The people that sold Dirks truck to the scrap yard said the motor was bad so he got the truck with a salvage title but it's not for resale he just wanted it because it was so clean. I found out the battery went dead because someone sucked all the acid out of it then I looked at the dip stick there no was oil in the motor what so ever and hole punched in the oil filter which the Junk yard said they didn't do that either. It was sold by some woman going thru a bad divorce. Turns out the battery cable to the starter and 2 primary wires were also cut by THE SHOP SHE TOOK IT TOO nobody else could have severed the wires without having keys to it or being in on it. Dirk bought it for 600 bucks it was Garage kept 77K miles and when we put oil back in it and I repaired the battery cables and primary wires it kicked right off idled like a dream.. I never saw one of these trucks with the 302's do that and not have streams of oil leaks every place.... The truck was so clean inside out it was incredible to see a vintage 1992 truck so clean and new looking...

[@aranzhale317]

Beautiful truck

[@robsrandomness7824]

Someone should buy that. New exhaust, window motor, tune up, and a driver side seat cover. And keep it out of overdrive (push in the button on the end of the shifter). Good 2 go. BTW, those are factory colors and a factory 2 tone setup. May have been resprayed, but back to original. Dad had one of those. I drove it from FL to CA and back on a road trip. Great trucks.

[@robsrandomness7824]

I meant possibly re-sprayed as in repainted the same color. Just sayin' that those are indeed factory colors and is a factory tu-tone design. Not all white and the red added later. Highly doubtful.

[@whimsymaker]

I just got a 1990 4.9 300 Xlt Lariat with 94k miles. Yep...94k. no rust. Interior is in awesome shape. Had it for about 4 months. Did an oil change and a new thermostat. It's white...more of a bone white and no rust. That's it....awesome truck

[@dukelamode1993]

coolest car

[@ericmatthews3024]

My mngr says phenomenal so thanks Jay

[@gosportjamie]

There's no doubt that F150 is worth saving. An XLT Lariat with factory bucket seats and centre console has got to be a pretty rare spec of truck. A good tune-up, a transmission overhaul (at the outside, I'm sure there are plenty of on-line resources for fixing overdrive issues on that, it is a Ford so there's no shortage of people around who've had and sorted that issue) and an exhaust system sort out by a good exhaust shop won't be too expensive and then you're going to have a truck with a lot of life in it and which can be brought back to apple pie order without much difficulty as the red trim seems to be pretty common on those so seat cloth or maybe even seats are going to be easy to find in a junk yard for not much money, and those brick-nose Ford trucks are becoming increasingly sought-after in good shape all the time. Just take a look at John Fox over at The Fox Shop on KZbin to see how popular and sought-after rust-free vehicles can be and what can be made out of them. The paint on this truck isn't factory, the over-spray shows that, but the two-tone paint is a factory spec so it may just have had paint to deal with the effects of 20 years of sun cooking the original paint which doesn't seem to be all that resilient anyway...

[@truckstuffmore875]

gosportjamie man John would be all over that truck have you seen that bronco he got that things a rust bucket

[@user-xg8yy7yl1d]

Honestly the best thing to do in terms of fixing that transmission is to just manual swap it

[@tgc99]

High mileage or not it's still an extremely clean truck. New trans, a new layer of clear coat, a good cleaning, and a flowmaster exhaust and I think it would be a sweet truck

[@ghostspectre1861]

More beautfiul than F-150s today, that's for sure.

[@RogueFullmetal]

Looks like the red was factory, and someone did a good job of masking it off and respraying it - minus the jambs.

[@djhorn5769]

Seems like a pretty nice truck for its age. It’s a little bit loud for my liking, but that’s probably because of the exhaust issues. My grandpa’s 86 bronco sounded a bit like that at the end of its life too.

[@jimh309]

I suspect it's get gone quick too! I had an new 89 Lariat two tone brown and tan. Didn't have over spray like that, but the color changes were in the same place. Ford had a problem with paint in these and most were repainted courtesy of Ford.

[@triplemranchfarmingandtruc1721]

[@Kevin-19986]

I live in Belgium but i would if i could fly straight to america to save that f150 from scrapping.

[@milfordcivic6755]

Check the throttle valve cable grommets. If plastic, they crack and break off the throttle body and cause the transmission to slip. Ford had an updated part made out of metal to prevent this from happening. Should be a TSB for it

[@mjmcomputers]

That’s a pretty clean truck. I bet there is a good trans somewhere in the yard.

[@davidmeyer8133]
