Straight Driving My Tremec 5 Speed F100 With Pedal Cam!

Today I decided to take the truck out for a drive and bring the camera along with me. I did a few pulls and had a good time back in the drivers seat of my own f100.

Put a ratchet strap around the bottom of the seat and tighten it just enough so the shifter doesn't hit. Also I helped my buddy on his white 67 f100, we put a sound barrier and carpet with insulation from LMC, it looks great and functions great!!! Love your truck buddy!!

[@srkansas]

If this post gets 10 likes he has to cam his truck by 2019 and to see what a great f100 truck he drives!!!!!

[@LemusStudioNetwork]

Just Do it i want to see it

[@mplante7352]

he'd see significant gains with a good set of heads GT40P with a port and polish or aluminum heads and a matched cam.

[@ronniebutironi9002]

Redline D4 ATF for manual transmissions is what you want. Synchros operate as clutches. Wrong viscosity/additives in the fluid and they wont grab the gear collar adequately and bring it up or down to speed for seamless shifting.

[@floppa5355]

I like how he doing the full gas 20:32

[@CJColvin]

Man you're old Ford Sounds badass.

[@danchamberlain6069]

Hi Craig I don't know if you have tried this yet, but try an 80 weight trans oil, if the oil is too thick the trans will shift slow. If your trans shifts easier after a mile or so of driving the oil is probably too thick. Hope this helps . Love your pedal cam video. Dan

[@davidknighttv6752]

I want to put a manual transmission on my Buick Regal hope I can make it happen.

[@Thecraig909]

So worth the work!

[@thefarmkid13]

You should put aftermarket AC in that thing.

[@chasecraiger1046]

it was about $1,800 last time I checked on LMC

[@SladeM.]

I run 2 cherry bombs under my 60F100 that exit out the same way yours does. and its LOOOUD when you mash the gas. I too also don't have any sound deadening or door seals lol

[@dregsdiesel]

The red transmission fluid from keisler conversation (mopar) make a 50/50 mix ATF/gear oil!

[@mayo_moto]

That thing needs an altitude adjustment. Half hanger flip in the rear and trimming a coil off up front got my dent sitting pretty nice. Handles a lot better too.

[@mayo_moto]

I actually had the Crown Vic front end and just wanted to drop mine a tad until I had time to do the swap, but it’s so good as is, I’m gonna leave it.

[@eanhartman9574]

Awesome video man! Glad to see the F100!

[@Thecraig909]

Thank you!

[@eanhartman9574]

@@Thecraig909 No problem bro

[@fazerainbow5674]

such a great video

[@ziggylukins6554]

Hold the shifter so there is slight pressure on second then get off the throttle, then blip it. My fox body was the same way. They like it if you slow down the gear spin then blip.

[@57churbro]

Your truck is music to my ears.. just love that exhaust note with a manual gearbox.

[@PEDALFEVER]

Such a classic pickup and a kick-ass sound it gives off!

[@jasonchilcote2784]

Thanks for the awesome video. Glad she's on the road again and looking great! Hope you keep it at that ride height. Really shows off the stout look and it's still really functional.

[@codyleonard9798]

Plus i like that you said you would go easy on it to break it in. Yet you do pulls in it😂

[@tylere1987]

Cool video and nice Vans shoes!

[@johnnybunn2136]

I'm glad its back

[@Thecraig909]

Ohh me too!

[@EslayerTM]

what happened to the crown vic f100 build?

[@adamblue7441]

Hey Craig what's going on with your crown vic suspension.and frame swap.project

[@coleslaw110]

You should do a guage cam too to show the telemetry. That'd be cool.

[@kevinanderson705]

Ever think about installing the rubber trim on to your doors, and maybe the wing vents? You've built yourself a boss truck man-love it!

[@JuanTrout]

I want a 5spd on my 6 inline 79F100. Awesome work!

[@robertdrayfahl6632]

I'm glad I'm not the only young guy with an old ford lol. I got a '69 F100 cab and bed on a '79 chassis. Lifted baby 😂

[@tyco5176]

The fluid is important and down shifting have they're speed limits cause they aren't being womped on 2nd at 50 is a bit much to ask for even with no rising rpm

[@JakeScott84]

Awesome video! Your truck ROCKS!!! Please more videos with your pedal foot cam! Like seeing when you "rip" on the gas wide open throttle! Fun stuff and content. Thanks for making these videos!!

[@NICKSSHOP]

great job love the video man the tuck sounds great

[@zanekubicek2186]

Can’t wait for the buckets there gonna be sweet!

[@zekemchenry2368]

What an awesome truck and video! Thanks for sharing! Cheers 🍻

[@JRC99]

If it were me, the next big thing to do would be insulation and carpet, and door seals. That's just me.

[@pingpongstar11]

Lame

[@wilberado]

Carpet in vehicles is the devil's work if you live in a sandy area.

[@danieltrobaugh8923]

Made my 76 feel like a new truck.

[@CM79150]

Been a follower of yours for a long time! This is the best video you’ve done so far, I hope you do more videos with the pedal cam so we can actually see how she’s running and the throttle response. Love this truck!

[@calebmetzler879]

if its built right you can beat on it from the start and it'll last. my dad's bronco has been to hell and back with him driving it and it has lasted.

[@JackTulsen77]

Should definitely do more vids like this!

[@duffrednecks930]

awesome I love the 5 speed great vid

[@the_fomoco_man5160]

Glad to see you have it back on the road! Hopefully not a synchro issue, Google "tremec secret sauce" for fluid. Hope to start work on mine in the next month or so.

[@SomeHippie69]

Your truck sounds sooo sick man, i had a dakota with a 318 and a 5 speed, it was a riot to drive, keep it up man, hopefully soon you can slap a cam and some ported heads on that 302.

[@jonathanswindle7023]

Does your truck have a hydraulic release bearing for the clutch? (Throw out bearing)

[@monstergreen6728]

Let me know if your TKO shifts notchy like? With only 400 miles and have not yet changed the oil my TKO shifts pretty notchy? Just wondering if that will get better with miles and the oil changed out? I just thought it would shift easier, smoother but it feels pretty notchy like I said. Thoughts on that?

[@phillipmorris2418]

Love it

[@rubenflores3185]

Love the 23 min videos.

[@blazepedigo9994]

Same i like the longer vids👍

[@aquito04]

Did u fix the rust on the roof of the cab? Can u show us what u did? I have the same problem on mine

[@kennethmartin3429]

Craig is your passenger side mirror missing?

[@MrBrombomb]

It's awesome to see your truck back up and running again. What a cool daily driver it will be once all the work on it is complete! Little by little, it is getting there. I also love the sound of the V-8. By the way, does your truck have power steering or manual steering?

[@snipex2941]

Do you by chance have the part number for the shifter lever? Currently swapping a tko600 into a 92 f150 with a bench seat lol

[@Thecraig909]

Not a part number but it’s a hurst bench seat shifter

[@harrygrimes8650]

Awesome video man that truck sounds nasty good!! Keep it up!!!

[@codyleonard9798]

Hey craig i think the trany not going into to 2nd gear has to deal with a safety thing

[@TheFrameoff]

Nice truck , sounds sweet 20:31 was good . Build On

[@boneheadmechanics4795]

I think a beefy cam and some head work should be next!!

[@ogle475]

Ford motor company pie pans would set your truck off. Cool videos I'm a fan

[@TheWolverine-rm2kr]

The chrome ones that says Ford on them would look badass

[@RedMephis]

It might only make about 220HP, but goddamn with the way it sounds....

[@jamieround2072]

so when u going to start replacing shock's & suspention when u can afford it out there..... maybe even ladder bars ( something unquine to the 70's era & yet safe too.....????

[@abefrohman1759]

Cool truck 👍

[@CallMe_GhostFace]

Ever think about putting a supercharger in the truck or turbo

[@williamsanders468]

How long until you get your buckets? And have they even gone to a upholstery shop?

[@jss6060]

That black car (bmw I think) was on your tail for a good amount of time. Thought you were getting tailed

[@kenrinck4916]

The guy in the bmw looking car liked the sound of his truck so he kept up to craig.

[@TheWolverine-rm2kr]

Ikr i noticed that too lol

[@devinwerf1189]

My transmission does the same thing I can’t go into 2nd or 1 at 35 I have to slow down to about 25-30 for 2nd and about 5mph to go into 1st

[@KaiserBruh]

God dam my parts I wanna drive my 78 F150 Ranger Xlt. I'm close to installing the 460 and 4 on the floor but I have to wait for draglinks and shit ti come in and put my 4in lift. Then on top of that I got high school fmllll

[@aaronevans5635]

Do you think you can drive with your shoes off, and your socks on?

[@ethanperkins5159]

What motor is in the f100

[@adidaspump]

Pedal cam is AWESOME !!! You have great footwork. Include that on all your vids !!! :-D

[@carlosmunyo1344]

Nice

[@1manshop335]

Great video buddy love the f100 videos

[@travisjohnson8289]

What motor are you building, 302?

[@stormpon]

I have a 79 with a 4 speed my dad has a 77 3 on the tree and I can't ever find 3 on the first try

[@lightthef]

Does your steering have a lot of play?

[@FloodingModem]

Looks like it. Even my Jeep has play in the steering and mines half as bad as his

[@joethomas2001]

He also has manual steering

[@TheFrameoff]

Could it not going into 2nd be a safety thing , one that never told anyone about.

[@DaisyHead666]

it shoulkd be nicknamed "The Tremec F100"

[@Thecraig909]

Honestly!

[@maxbogers9216]

do you recommend this swap or shut I keep my stock 4speed

[@boredcompsciguy]

He went through a lot of work getting this trans to actually work but the results seem really nice

[@henrygibson5903]

That mom wipe status tho

[@robertdrayfahl6632]

Tremecs are fun until you blow them up on the 3rd gear powershift.

[@codyleonard9798]

This may be my 3rd but if you want good parts for your f100 use jegs.com

[@danieltrobaugh8923]

If you want the wrong stuff sent to you use jegs.
