"And it sounds absolutely incredible" *proceeds to talk throughout entire video*

[@VINTAGE1959]

That high pitch Californian accent is unbearable. Wish there was a silent review of this

[@mikejohnson9118]

Cracks me up....Prius driver doing a vintage truck review. THHSUPER!

[@ct158]

Ford needs to come out with same style body reconfigurations of these trucks

[@mikeswartz3146]

Small chance, not 0 but small chance of old style reworked like Mustang.

[@GordyBro]

@@mikeswartz3146 he’s saying the body style, not the drivetrain. They will never make this body style again though. Because of the stupid crash safety laws. That’s why all modern cars are ugly, is because they “hide” the crumple zones under the body.

[@Mike-xs6vv]

I once said that a 1939 Studebaker truck was the prettiest truck in the world but your truck just changed my mind. Brother you did an outstanding job on that truck.

[@smigletat9634]

W0W!!! “AWD System” Need to get some recognition of what you truly are talking about

[@VelocityRestorations]

Thanks for the review Parker! It's definitely been a fun build and we can't wait to build more F-Series trucks!

[@pastaholic]

Any chance you guys will branch out into the F100s? You did an absolutely fantastic job with this one

Excellent job guys.

What a beauty! I am not coyote swapping my current build but maybe my next. This is an inspiration for what to do!

Apparently this dude has trouble deciding which restroom to use also! Son that is a Truck! Hahaha!

[@FoamSquatch]

I love classic ford trucks, my first vehicle was a 73 F100. They did a great job on this. It still looks the part.

[@thechuck141]

This is when cars and trucks actually had some style now every car looks the same cheap plastic with cheap plastic chrome.

[@johnkenley4687]

Mans smoking that nostalgia bullshit. back then, especially with trucks, they all looked more alike than the cars and trucks do of today.

[@redjasper1100]

​@@johnkenley4687 the bumpside and dentside fords did look similar but the different branxs all look different. Before you start saying crap actually know what your talking about

[@johnkenley4687]

@redjasper1100 almost like it's still the same, even with todays trucks. It's still stupidly easy to tell brands apart.

[@levisilleman5754]

Did he just call the locking hubs a yellow accent😂

[@barrynelson634]

yeah...SMH Sad!

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Yeah I cringed when I heard that 😅 I also kept wincing when he kept saying "the speaker system" 😂 Beautiful Hi-Boy, but IDK if a Coyote would be on the top of my list for swaps, I'd personally rather see either a 6BT or even a 6.7 Cummins, if trying to keep it Ford, I mean, they already came with FE blocks, so a 428 would've been perfect, if new, I guess my next logical choice would've been the Godzilla. Regardless, the horn doesn't work, the glovebox popped open with a tap of the throttle, and while I like the interior, the billet exterior pieces, super pristine paint, rear jump....it just doesn't look like they intended for it to really be used...and no, I don't mean beat or dent the bed to hell lol, but just used as a daily.

[@mr.2cents.846]

LOL...kids.

[@JasPlun]

I hate the steering wheel. I think a Wood steering wheel would be better for it IMO! The flashing lights in the cluster were very annoying too, but other than those things its a beautiful build!

[@roflmao000]

Just so you know, the flashing is because of the cameras framerate in relationship with the AC power of the dash, so when you were in the car you wouldn't see the flashing.

[@nidhishnutakki]

Just awesome!! Wanna see more of car meets😅and yeah

[@R19Robbin]

This thing is just sooo nice 🔥🔥

[@ringokidd387]

Beautiful awesome lookin Highboy truck!

[@jasonyoung3690]

It may well be a 1970 Ford, as all "Bump-sides" (1967-72) all shared the exact same body panels, bed, and had a lot of the same trim, but that is not the grille from a 1970. It looks like a 1968 grille. There are subtle changes in the grille Ford used from 1967 to 1969, but the 1970 was completely different, with a plastic eggcrate design replacing the metal linear horizontal bars of the previous years. Turn signals and hood class designators changed from year to year as well. Ford got a lot of mileage out of this overall design, and it changed very little, save the grille from year to year. I am VERY impressed by the rebop of this truck, and if I had the dough, I'd definitely buy one. Very cool! My chief complaint would be about the 6-lug bolt pattern on the wheels. The 3/4-ton and 1-ton versions of the originals had 8-lugs.

[@jesseburnette6028]

I think you’re right. I have a 70 F100 and had a 70 F350 ton. Both had the same grills. This looks like a 68-69 grill/front. The 70s honeycomb grill is the easiest to identify in the 5th gen.

[@Joseph-ph3cb]

Love it ! Great job on the pickup👍

[@user-xm5ty8pu1e]

I have a 1980 ranger step side that i am considering doing this to...do you recommend it? I have the 351 in it now and the unit is like new..im thinking i want the new power combined with a better fuel economy...

[@jackjr.sparrow3668]

Yes, a classic manufacturer for the future is Alive. This is what I call new style. Even though it’s old. Now I can say, out with the new in with the old😂

[@scubatrucker6806]

Nicely done👍😎👍

[@donrushing905]

Love this truck!

[@brokenwrench404]

Nice truck. Was this filmed in somis or moorpark in Ventura county ca?

[@user-kt4cx6cm7n]

Man oh man! That's a nice ride. My favorites are the 68' and '72 but now I have to add the '70.

[@ironjohn5914]

I designed that truck being the top ford architect...

[@UberFeetz]

My god! You were probably the first car channel I actually followed and kept up with. Haven’t seen a VV video in years! Glad you’re still at it

[@Wtfarmy68w]

Starting at 300k is crazy

[@davonervin]

and the horn doesn't even work

[@donkeytime1704]

I like the sound of the older 5.0's and 5.8's from the 80's and 90's myself.

[@mkk240]

Awesome video 💪

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

Sick truck

[@brandonrobishaw7606]

6 lug What drivetrain mods were done ? Chevy hubs and brakes or full passenger drop axle? All Ford highboy f250 were 8 lug

[@tvh300]

Dana 44 front, Dana 60 rear, Atlas transfer case.

[@lawrencemcmillan6693]

I typed in new engine old truck and was thinking coyote. I’ve got a 83 bullnose. Sitting for years now since I bought it can’t wait to get in again

[@CarYouTuberNews]

LOL, for having tight steering you sure do look like a pantomime of someone driving in 1917 with that wheel, haha.

[@iddddaduncan]

that's what I thought also

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

can a diesel be added for this heavy truck?

[@unclejim2330]

Horn doesn’t work , glove box falls open and all for a good extortion price. 😳 Hate the dumb steering wheel and stupid digital dash. I’ll stick to my vintage 4x4 F250 5 speed one owner with 95.000 miles for a few thousand bucks, it works and hauls just fine. 🤷‍♀️🇺🇸

[@64maxpower]

LOVE those wheels

[@yoker3032]

Could you please do in 992 gt3 manual review?

[@louistotaal4105]

Beautiful

[@jasoncardoza6375]

No dude older a/c systems used r12 and the discharge pressure side was much lower resulting in colder temperatures. Higher the air being pressurized results in more heat making it harder to cool. Yes the new systems are more efficient but older systems if rebuilt to manufacture specs and r12 used its a massive difference. I’m running two older systems and they’re by far more expensive to service but are colder than my new Malibu hands down. Side note, cars are more insulated today so that’s why the cool air doesn’t dissipate as quickly. Throw some dynamat and new padding in your vintage ride and guaranteed your going to be 5-10 degrees cooler in the cabin using an older system.

[@gregp9350]

Question: PCH? What is it?

[@morganlives7]

Loving theses types of videos feels nostalgic 👍🏻

[@marcob8294]

Nice looking truck, but I would be pretty tired after a trip if I have to steer that much going in a straight line.., you are constantly adjusting....! ?

[@barrynelson634]

he doesn't know how to drive a pickup, even if it's newer components.

[@SUBI_PaT]

This truck is epic,this was when vehicles actually were built an not some shit box garbage thrown together an sold for $60,000 for nothing but plastic an some garbage computers telling it what to do cool video man.

[@iddddaduncan]

Was that slipping shifting from 2nd to third? nice truck though.

[@mromatic17]

he probally broke it and blamed it on the owner cuz he's a pos!

[@jstar1000]

Would love to see someone make one of these into a 4 door truck.

[@jessyfavor9593]

You should do a watch collection video some time

[@Brian-fp3mh]

how much to buy????

[@WyattLee-nv6qv]

Not sure if you will see this but I’ve got the same kind of truck I think and how could I rebuild it

[@JCnumber1]

Yeah for $315,000 dollars. Insane how much Velocity is charging people for these rebuilds. So much for the workin man being able to buy one.

[@jessyfavor9593]

My dream truck

[@dirtyfivethirtygarage]

A couple little details to address (horn and glove box) but overall a good looking truck!

[@barrynelson634]

and a transmission gear indicator????🤔

[@schrauberbude6810]

NICE PICK UP TRUCK GREETINGS FROM GERMANY PETER

[@vapor3074]

Wait did Parker do a review on something I’d actually want! I’d take this over a Lamborghini any day.

[@calvincooley1074]

It would get just as much attention.

[@josemascorro2499]

Awesome

[@ancjr]

Visibility used to be so much better in vehicles.

[@originalgameronline3457]

If you asked Charlie Sheen , he'd say .....winning!

[@rapcreeperproductions3269]

This is a pretty great video however it could've been better if you checked out a more stock truck first. The reason you can't tell what gear you're in is because the indicator's supposed to be on the steering column.

[@levimmarquez912]

I think it’s just Messina gooseneck hitch

[@benvan-ness1030]

How much would a truck cost like that

[@ryanschaff723]

In the end this isn't a 150k pickup. No regular cab pickup is worth that much

[@SHELBY13GT500]

Awesome truck! Love it and the review!

[@zechnewton]

When I have Lambo money, I’m getting this kind of stuff instead lol

[@Mr.Sam1066]

What kind of f250 has 6 lug hubs? Why would you put half ton axles under a 3/4 ton truck

[@tvh300]

Dana 44 front, Dana 60 rear. Pretty sure that's a 3/4 ton layout.

[@lawrencetrapani5623]

69 grill looks Nice too!

[@draileduncommon]

That is a extremely stylish truck, plenty of style but did not loose the classic look, I myself don’t like coyote swaps especially in broncos.

[@jakefr5150]

This should be nice for a restomod - Velocity sells these for over $250000.

[@mr.2cents.846]

Beautiful truck. But I bet the original carborated V8 would have started faster. Vrommmmmm.

[@kennethjarvis4216]

I would be like being John Holmes.

[@flashgordon19]

It’s so funny to hear you review an old truck when this is what I grew up with, they are far from perfect if there original. I guess I’m old haha.

[@barrynelson634]

I'm with you. I drove '72 brand new. No PS and 12.00 x 16.5 bias ply tires. And yes I could parallel park it downtown if I needed to go down there for some strange reason.

a 10 speed would have been nice in that truck

[@mp2216]

Seems like velocity needs to work on their fit and finish.

[@robertrobert1971]

WOW!!!!!!!!

[@RMorton1]

How much y’all think one of these would cost?

[@78ramcharger53]

250,000 $

[@jamesr2888]

You're calling this a 1970 F-250. With the front grill & the heater/AC controls, this is a 1967. Grille style was from '67 to '69. Heater/AC controls were knobs in '67. '68 to '72 were levers. I owned a 1970 F-250 Sport Custom 32 years ago. It had plastic rectangle grille inserts & sliding lever style heater controls.

[@ReliProductions]

[@SurviventheOnslaught]

[@kayakuprising5914]

Not bad for a long bed. Sloppy steering and no horn are details that really don't help Velocity's professional integrity.

[@MountainGuerrilla]

Quite a bit of slop in that steering box,

[@bobhilly546312156332]

6 lug wheels?

[@ksteak27]

Based on the last video, I'm guessing this baby costs about $400k

[@barrynelson634]

and not even power windows...SMH

[@chris_bjj123]

Cool..I drive old cars and trucks because they're simple. Last thing I want in them is a computer. But still a nice looking, incorrect "1970".

[@Austin_Wingfield]

I bet this would be a blast to drive.

[@Paragonghost]

Slamming those door waaay to hard.

[@randolphmullinofsky4761]

That much money, but couldn't that slack out of the steering wheel.

[@herbiesnerd]

An RPM Gauge? Lol

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Should be able to buy a new truck like this for 25k. They would sell by the millions

[@jasonsutterfield1638]

I don't like the wheel's either, other than that I'm sure it's a peach.
