Beautiful trucks..love them all .I would love to come across a 1985 Ford f150 explorer edition

[@Hobodeluxe960]

[@stex1985]

This is routine for trucks on my grandparents farm. A newly purchased truck had two jobs,grandmothers grocery getter and take everyone to church on Sunday. It was kept in the garage at the house. It usually had that position for two or three years and then a new one showed up. The truck then moved to a working position each day mostly grandad drove it. Then the pecking order moved on down, there were usually four to five working trucks in operation each day. Then the retired trucks got turned over to grandkids to finish off. Most trucks purchased were used to work up until 1980. Before 1980 if you drove a truck to church you were a full time farmer rancher or you were poor. Trucks were cheap even the new ones. Good show!

[@huckleberry490]

In 1981 i bought an F150 4x4 for ten thousand in 69 my Grandpa bought one for one thousand or something like that hec i was only ten then and have one just like his in really good shape,and i love to drive it,but not to church,to home-depot,haha or walmart

[@stangman1268]

now this is my kind of museum all that Ford stuff i'll be like a kid in a candy store,do have a soft spot for the older dodge pick ups too.

[@damienrodriguez3288]

Man I am literally drooling over the mountains of part and hood and tailgates and 460’s geez. This is ford platinum

[@b-roll4881]

Seeing these beautiful dent sides make me miss my 2 trucks. One was a '79 f-250 4x4 with a steel rockbox on it. It had a 390 running on propane. Just a great old bush truck. The second one was my baby. It was a '74 f-350 Ranger super camper special. It had a 390 auto. The drive line was a c6 auto going to a huge dana 80 diff, with drum brakes on all 4 corners. The box was the 8'6" one with the spare tire in the box side. All original matching numbers. Rust free except for the roof. It had sun rust. The paint was rare. It was ginger glow glamor with Wimbledon white. The color combo was not rare. But it was a early 74, made in dec. 73. But the ginger glow didn't come out till '75. The guy I bought it from said that his dad had special ordered it from the factory. I was going to do a frame off restore but I ended up in a accident by a drunk driver. I am now full-time in a wheelchair. So I had to get rid of it. Thanks for the great trip down memory lane. Cheers from Calgary Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

86 was the first yr for EFI offered as standard equipment but only on the 5.0. All other engines were carbed till 87. And in 85 the EFI was a option on the 5.0 only.

I've yet to see anyone else with a 70s f100 that's long bed and a step side. I have a 1972 Ford F100 Longbed Stepside and I always get so many compliments and questions about who restored it, painted it, etc. But it's all factory stock, bought it with 12k miles, and in 6 years brought it up to 31k. Getting her back next month and I'm so stoked!!

Been following on Solomon’s channel as well. These had to be the walkthrough of a lifetime. Only thing that’s 2nd is your junkyard trips. 😁 looking forward to more on your F100.

[@Thecraig909]

Both junkyard and F100 content coming very soon.

[@Slider68]

Sorry to say this but our next door neighbor had an identically painted 1978 Ford pick-up truck like your "Snickers". I always liked the paint scheme when I was a kid/young teenager. He bought the truck new in 1978 and drove it for about 15 years. By the early 1990's it was pretty rusty, even though for about ½ of its life it wasn't winter driven. He oil sprayed it every year that it was winter driven and for the first ~12 years he kept it immaculately clean up inside and out.

[@Markdc94]

My little 1996 F250 is the last of a kind. mid 90s body with a 300 I6 with a slip-o-matic, the pullingest engine i've ever had. I trailered a 96 suburban from Dawsonville Ga. to the mountains of SW Va. with no issues at all. It came from the public school system in Martinsville Va., ZERO rust, oxford white, in great condition with 126,000. They almost gave it away. The 300 I6 is just about broke in!!

[@marcjenkins1520]

Those supercabs, Thunderbird and 4 door Torino are awesome.

[@Dr650rob]

What a genius keeping all of these great Fords

[@mikeschueler1285]

My first truck was a 74 F250 Ranger 2wd back in 1989. Loved that truck. My dad's work truck was a 76 F250 Ranger Highboy back in late 70's. It was a hog on gas but it was one tough truck. Amazing collection !! I remember seeing those trucks everywhere "back in the day".

[@titankooyman3638]

My first vehicle was a lifted 77' highboy on 35's with the 460 big block and a 4 speed. It was nice to see all these rare fords.

[@jessegoldston70]

Yes indeed now waiting for the truck unveiling that you got from the collection 😀

[@Thecraig909]

Oh its a good one!

[@hdfxst1521]

Seeing all those old Ford trucks makes me miss my dads 73 F100 with the 302 and 3 on the tree. He bought it new for 3 grand. Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one.

Adding a comment about the Mustang II. I had a 76 Cobra II (bought new) Black w/Gold stripes Black interior 302 4sp. I stripped the syncros and it turned out to be a Dagenham 4sp.Ford cinched out on the drive train. I actually loved the car though.

So Unbelievably jealous of your collection there fellas. Incredibly difficult to find parts in south jersey for 73-79 Ford trucks. Got a 79 F-250, 78 Ranchero GT(even harder to find stuff for) and an 88 Turbocoupe.

[@DieselSgrass]

Third sandbox had drivers side rear fender replaced. That's why there are no graphics. Inside of bed clearly shows newer hardware. Some great trucks. Thanks for sharing.

[@ferrelx]

I thought I was a rare breed geeking on fine details like you guys..but mostly with Dodges..Power Wagons are my thing..my old man was a storm window/door installer in the Chicago land area for over 30 years..his 1st truck was a mid 60's chevy..broke the frame..next was a Turquoise 68 ford F250 duel tank with 390/granny 4 on the floor then a 73 F250 custom beautiful midnight blue with white stripes on the bottom (never saw another like it to this day) 460/granny 4 on the floor both of these trucks were specifically ordered with split rims..something about running a higher load rating tire..also 2WD only..because he needed the truck lower to the ground for loading and off loading the windows and doors.. Then came the TURD 1978 F250 super cab beautiful emerald metallic green..he could not get a 460 for some reason and the other engine offerings were only 30 hp more then the 300 six..so he went with a 300/3 on the tree..blew out 2nd gear 3 times and stress cracks developed around the front spring shackle mounts for the rear axle..yes he used his trucks..it was a rare thing not to see the rear bumper a couple of inches off the ground for the life of the truck which was around 4 years..he was getting older so in 82 he downsized with a white F150 XLT 302/granny 4 on the floor..then a ranger..I know I haven't said much but this covered 20 plus years of using Ford trucks 300 plus days a year..that's a lot of time spent in the cab of one..

[@EPstroker]

[@zanewilkins9548]

I got something a little rare that I'm working on just kind of put on hold for now do to the money issues. But what I have is I don't really know if it's rare or not but I like it it is mine. A 1964 F100 short bed style side custom it still has the three on a tree transmission and the original engine in it that still runs I need floorboards brackets and a firewall and a tailgate. I would like to get the stuff from a junkyard upcycle this thing. And then I want two tone paint it it's got a nice patina on it if there was a way to save it I would but there's like five different layers of pain under it. It was a barn find I just want to bring it back to life.

[@kristopherdavis4764]

A few late 1985 F150s did have the multiport fuel injection, there was also some 84 to 85 models with the 2 barrel tbi setups on the 302 but there not common.

Interesting topic I had a brand new 78 Ford 150 sandbox I use it for everything off-road truck pulls mud running drag racing. It’s a shame you guys can’t see how customized the interiors were for the time shag carpet curtains and custom front seats. I still have a few nice pictures of my truck.

[@justynporter5721]

[@AimlessMoto]

I'm more jazzed about the Torino's and Ranchero's sitting in that yard!

[@ljprep6250]

I was a Ford man from 1957 to 2007. My first pickup was a white 1960 F-100 longbed with the 312 V-8 and 3 on the tree. My last was a blue 1990 F-150 shortbed with FI 302 and A4 rebuildable ($1280 in 2001) trans. Now I'm happily involved in a gold 2007 Toyota Tundra with regular cab and shortbed. = = So, how did I miss the rare F-100 as shown in your title? = =

[@mikeklinger1712]

The round headlight front clip on the '78 F-100 became a real pain to find when you needed a replacement!

[@IrishAmericanMcCLanahan]

My dad had the 1979 Bronco with the 351 Cleveland modified with a 4 speed granny gear trans. This Bronco was the California Edition with that airbrush paint jobs on the side . Here in Cleveland, Ohio it was the only one I ever seen in person as i was growing up. I wish he never used it as his daily driver going down to LTV Steel. That truck rotted out so fast from that place. It could not be saved at all when I was old enough to try an actually do something with it. But at least the motor and transmission lives on.

[@seancmadison]

In 77 the 460 with the 4350 motorcraft 4 barrel carburetor was stock but a total failure. Do you have any idea what the Holley replacement was. I need the part number because the spread bore carburetors they list are qudrajet style not the same shape as the ford spread bore.

[@GorillaCookies]

All Thunderbirds in 1969 -72 only received the 429 engine. In 73 the 460 became a option but the 429 engine was standard

[@jasonmyers3847]

My '67 F-100 was originally a sandbox. I swapped it out with a regular short bed fleetside as soon as I could. Yeah, I'm not a fan of step side beds either.

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

In my area about ten years ago scrap metal was very low I bought up every olf ford truck I could get. 74 trucks later and 100 classic cars. I have from parts to drivable. Don't have much chevy or dodge stuff. Wouldn't believe the stuff people sold me.

[@morgansword]

I want so bad to have the man build my old truck back I had in my very late twenties. No it was no longer new, but the man who had it bought it new with the options and it was just about of all the rigs I have had, the nicest one. A 72 ford highboy that he had the original engine that ran just fine but he pulled it and the transmission as well. He put the 427 dual four carb engine with some great things to make it a great runner. Behind that was the heavy duty four speed with the hurst shifter, of course the divorced transfer case was from a 3/4 ton as the 1/2 ton one was a in or out single speed transfer case which were just a lame transfer case. That heavier case had the high and low plus neutral which the half ton didn't have that either if memory serves me right... that is one area I am kind of short for memory on. My truck was turquoise an white... an white top as well, all the glass had the chrome trim on it. I could not raise a good pile of money to get better wheels at the time so went with the appliance white wheels and 7:50 X 16 wheels and tires... those wheels were on my truck when a deal came to me to get a seventy foot by sixteen foot trailer home... at this time there were no houses in this area.. zero none. So it was take it or lose it an living in my truck was old in a hurry. I hooked onto the trailer home and pulled it out of this deep hole it was in an on a side hill pushing my tires nearly off those rims... those rims were holding against some of the most horrible weight that a man could imagine doing to his rig. They never bent or whined, just pulled that trailer out of there an instead of stopping to see if it was going to clear the stop light just ahead... I put my foot into it, an pulled that mobil home seventy miles an hour down the road for ten miles, came to the corner turn off to my place, took the only turnoff that would give me a chance to back up my steep driveway... talk about being glad that I had drove a logging truck for a few years by then... put the rig in reverse, and pushed that trailer up my driveway with the hitch digging into the roadbed. The wife an I had talked about using a dozer to get a home up the hill to the spot it needed to be in. Even I have a hard time believing it did it an I was the driver. I had that truck for a good many years, kept it in beautiful condition, not a speck of rust or a slight even touch of rust as it was just well undercoated and the paint was emeron with pearl... I just don't think I have ever had a better looking rig than that one.... and I have had many trucks, both big and small. I was driving one of my logging trucks I had just bought new, was setting on a high mountain landing to get a load of logs when on the radio for the small town came on with "trade 'E.'O.' " if you can sound that out. People called in and said what they had to sell or trade for. I heard this woman talking on the radio who sounded like the wife, she said she had a old four wheel drive rig that would most likely need some work so it was for sale for five hundred dollars an then the phone number... HELL, THAT IS MY DAMN NUMBER!!! I pulled out of the landing empty and ran to a phone to tell her not to sell my truck... it had been only a half hour since the add hit the air but she had sold it five minutes after the add hit the air. She even left some of my tools I had in the back to go with it! I really came close to divorcing her over it. I still should of. This is back when a new rig would only cost maybe ten thousand if fully loaded in 83... I had had that rig since it was only eight months old. The guy went straight to DMV and had the title in his name an I could not even force him to sell it back so tied him up in court for six months which I lost in court because we had been married for six months an It was not clear that I owned it before marrying her. I will be seventy three fairly soon an just miss that rig so bad. I would drive it if it only had the 390 with stock four speed in it. It didn't have the best gearing but they were the 3.73 gears. Posi in the back with that light duty dana 40 front end. It was just beautiful Craig. I think it was the Ranger XLT trim package. Long story short, I still get worked up over that rig
