[@DKWalser]

When I was working construction, summers while still in high school, my boss had the two wheel drive version of the Ford 100. Except, his was cream colored, had a full instrument panel, and had a 390 V8. That truck, if driven by an expert, could be very fast off the line. One day, we had just picked up several bags of cement and lime and were stopped at a stoplight when a Chevy Nova pulled up beside us in the next lane. The driver of the Nova revved his engine several times and the passenger indicated they wanted to race. My boss just rolled his eyes, but, when the light changed, the old Ford shot off the line as if out of a cannon. My boss shifted from 2nd to 3rd without using the clutch. In short, he blew the Chevy away. I'm sure the Chevy had a higher top-speed, but we were already stopped at the next traffic light when the Nova came screeching to a stop next to us. This time, the driver didn't rev his engine. That 390 was a heck of a motor.

[@davidblalock9945]

Oh... I could have so much fun with that engine! The mighty 300-I6. There’s such a good collection of great aftermarket parts for this engine. It’s such an excellently engineered engine. Ford, seriously, bring back the 300-I6!

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

David Blalock -- Or the Chevy 292 straight six. It was a great engine as well.

[@jackd2083]

They won’t ever bring the 300 back. It was too reliable!

[@jonathanbox3033]

@@jackd2083 You beat me to it ... that's exactly the reason Ford won't bring it back. They want to put disposable crap out there like the 3.5 Eco-Boost that's going to be nothing but a money pit when those twin turbos wear out after the warranty is up.

[@dommm111]

[@dalejones4322]

One of the comments mentioned doing something like a raffle for the Toyota Tacoma. I think that is an excellent idea. People could buy a t-shirt for a chance to win. Make a special shirt with all the sponsors and the charity on it. The sponsors pay for the shirt. Charge 40/50 dollars per shirt. With a million subscribers, you could make a lot of money off of that truck. Put the truck on the shirt too. Maybe a signature from all the guys.

[@deejayimm]

That's a great idea, and on top of that Ivan Stewart might be willing to send a signature to the T-shirt manufacturer if he knows it's for charity.

The 65 Ford is the truck I'm most looking forward to following.....out of any truck you've had.

[@thomasrossi31]

You guys should get a 4 post lift. Extra storage, can do some work, under carriage views.... very versatile. They’re free standing and can be moved as your needs change.

[@abqcrutch]

The 300 cu in straight 6 is one of the best engines ever made. It's bullet-proof!

[@MrGarfield4]

I agree. Not the fastest engine, but it it full of torque and will pull forever. From what I am told, DO NOT overheat it...head warpage is usually the end result.

[@cpscps2679]

I had a 300 in a 1990 F150. Great engine. Great truck.

[@bcubed72]

Yeah, the head is the Achilles's heel of that design. The only problem I've ever had with a 300 were related to the head or HG. Oh, and they'll crack on you, too!

[@pullimgsm]

That green on the ford looks like US Forest service green. Which would explain the heavier axles. They were built to the government spec back then.

[@4909ak]

Love that old ford.

[@ITrustInDog]

When you throw out that topper, take the one from the Raptor with you :)

[@ewxlt]

Correct. They are so bad.

[@dietrichris]

How much are they getting paid to push that garbage, honestly, lose that ugly canvas junk.

[@dewboy13]

Are they bad because you don't like the canvas, or do they fall apart? Just curious because I'm somewhat interested in one. I don't want to be stuck with a heavy topper, when I need to use the truck with no topper. I like the thought of being able to load up the truck then simply close the topper over the load. Saves my back that way, as well as not being able to kneel down on my previously broken right leg.

[@ITrustInDog]

@@dewboy13 I’m sure they are a good cover for when you need to protect your payload from the elements. It folds out of the way when you don’t need it and doesn’t take much payload. That said, TFL has made that cover a permanent fixture on the raptor when it serves no function aside what I can only assume is intended to be aesthetic which it is not. It looks out of place in every way on that truck.

That’s what we believe as well.

[@willb3018]

While the bed has rusted, overall the truck does not look like it has been beat up. Not a lot of dents, dings are apparent. To me that also supports the idea that it could be (not necessarily likely be ) government owned. 😉

[@plus790]

Could be, but I think it's just one of those 1960s Ford "Tropical Turquoise/Twilight Turquoise", which was were a pretty common color.

[@adamsfly6212]

My last year in high school I bought a '65 ford F100 4x4 with the 352 CI engine. One of my all time favorite machines. As a kid I had no regrets when I sold it but now I wish I still had it. On the weekends my buddies and I would go 4wheeling and the lack of power steering and drum brakes made for an interesting experience. The most difficult trail I did in that truck was wheeler lake and, as some of you from colorado know, it is not a cake walk. So, yeah, its a decent 4wd machine. Looking forward to seeing more of this truck.

[@rogerj412]

Cool to hear that Real Truck is sponsoring the video series. I have only bought one thing from them and had a problem with it (manufacturing problem, nothing on their end) and they were really great about taking care of it. They were so good to deal with I feel bad about not buying anything else from them since but I haven't needed anything for my truck.

Baby Yota is looking great, as long as you ignore that soft top on the back! Great job Case, David, and team!!

That old 65' F-100 4x4 is super minty. My father in law had a 64' 1 ton 4x4 in the same red with the same style of bed except Old Red had a 390 with a 4 speed, and manual everything. He ended up donating the truck to a church when the head gasket blew not fully realizing how rare and valuable the truck was. I would have loved to restore it but at least it went to a good cause...

You make me miss my 64 f250 camper special with the 292 c.i.d. and 3 on the tree. What a beast for a 16 year old. It wasn't 4 wheel drive but it was 500 bucks, in the mid 70s.

[@dirtroadcouple7358]

Awesome!!!! Looking forward to the refreshes!,

[@farmalmta]

The '65 is your jewel truck there! The lightning bolt and gear badge indicates a 6cyl engine, a V8 badge indicates the V8. The frame on an F100 has a narrower height between lower and upper flange. If it's the wider frame (sorry, can't recall the dimensions off the top of my head), the truck is an F250. Many 6cyl engine 4x4 F250s were default equipped with 4.56 ratio differentials, while the V8s got 4:10 ratio diffs. There are plenty of exceptions, and special orders of the other ratio happened, too. Although the wide tires look good on the truck, They will reduce the fuel mileage and significantly increase the wear on the steering components and closed knuckles on the front axle, plus making it a real booger to steer. Best to stick with the innie wheels with narrow pizza-cutter tires. 4 wheel sizes were available: 16", 16.5", 17.5", and 19.5", all with narrow tires.

The 60 to 66 pickups were a great improvement over the previous years. The had independent front suspension "2 wheel drive" and a lot of them had V8s. They're rock solid and had a much better ride. I grew up driving them I just have never gotten into the styling. I've always liked the 55 to 59 and 67 to 72 Chevrolet and GMC as well as the 67 to 79 fords. I've owned several and will do so again.

[@timpearson4040]

Be careful with that hood you will tweak that hinge and it will never be the same!!! It's best to go to the back and push down on the hinge to make SURE it doesn't tweak.

[@bristleconepinus2378]

i had one, 1964... paid $400.00 for it, 223 straight six. worked the suspension & driveline/transmission, found a 4 speed w/ bell housing for $75.00 & put a 2-pc. driveshaft. i put a flatbed on it.& 36" tires...that truck built many houses and hauled a trailer, boat & motor all over the western states & Canada until i shipped it to Hawaii where it built several more houses before rough lava roads and rust took it down, bought a new on in 1985 and put 325,000 miles on that one.

[@iambeyondbrilliant]

The '65 is very cool. My son would love this as he just inherited his grandfather's 65 F250 with the 300 slant 6. He would love to see what you guys do with this

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Slant 6 is a Dodge engine. It would be a straight 6 in the Ford and Chevy. By the way, all of them were excellent engines. Although I'm a diehard Chevy straight 6 fan, the Dodge slant 6 was the best of them all. One tough and long lasting engine.

You build that into the ultimate work truck with a utility box and a "built" 300 using aftermarket parts. Speedway in my hometown of Lincoln NE had the goods on that upgrade. I grew up with a 65 f100 camper special in sea foam green and three gas tanks. The other two were under the cab with a three way valve left of the seat. Never knew if the extra tanks were factory or not. It also had a 300 and an automatic transmission.

[@overdose4789]
