Will this 50 year old Ford Camper Run and Drive?

[@catman3706]

I'm excited to see where you take this amazing treasure of a find! 😀

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

I'll watch your follow-up videos about this camper. However I wanted to say that a couple years ago I bought a mid 1980's slide-in truck camper in great shape, but with all those old colors. I completely painted the interior and exterior, put in new floor tiles, new bed mattress, new kitchen back splash, and added two 150w solar panels on the roof. It now looks and smells brand new. Your new camper would be an excellent project to do the same. Great buy, except it's a Ford, LOL.

[@HangarGaraj]

That sounds like a fun project, and I'm glad it turned out well! Hopefully I can replicate yours, even if it's a ford haha

[@michaelhoskins832]

You should do a overnight camp in your new-to-you F-350 camper. Would be fun to see.

[@bobfortner6940]

I don't know what you paid, but regardless you found a holy grail there. In that condition especially, Oh how I wish!!

[@keiththeakston3125]

That INDEED is a wonderful find !!!

[@Andrewj2152]

Can’t wait to see more!

[@cal_n_hob]

Wow, it just started right up? That's amazing, looking forward to see what you do with it.

[@HangarGaraj]

Yup, crazy right! Just a jumper pack and starting fluid, and thanks! I'll have more videos out on it soon!

[@talltom1129]

Great find, and never mind what that commentor said about not testing. What's done is done, no point in hollering at you. I would've done the same thing ,more than likely! Anyway, im looking forward to seeing what happens with it. I would suggest that you try to keep it as original as possible, it's such a time capsule and if you decide to resell it, original will be more valuable.

[@HangarGaraj]

Thank you!

[@markcollins5026]

Man, nice I hope you guys put this cool truck back to camping mode !

[@Torsee]

Chinook was a great camper company! Expensive at the time!

[@josephsinger3625]

I would change the floor to metal, and Rhino lined it like crazy. Also, ozone deodorizer leave in there for a day change engine if possible or modification possible. Repainted it

[@paulb4uk]

The ford camper is great .

Those olds fords are tanks, truly built tough

Fordera on KZbin would love this gem👍❤️

[@evoemperor3776]

Turns the blower on with the rat nest🤣

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

The Ac will not work until it is plugged into 110 plug. good looking truck. My old 460 got 7mph no matter what you were doing with it.

[@MichelBriere-t5j]

Wow very Nice Truck.

[@robertdoyle8785]

I can't believe that thing fired up so good after sitting for that long. I don't think my 1985 460 powered RV runs that good.

Subscribe purely because of this ford

[@Larry-b6l1e]

My neighbor had one a these, went bankrupt trying to keep gas in it.

[@brandonruhl4525]

that thing is cherry

[@AMinton-h9k]

Sweet sounding truck😊

[@SaintsPurgatory]

Wow how surprising that this thing does not smell like a fresh picked rose

[@constructdestruct360]

Looks like somewhere in the Palouse Valley Eastern Wa

[@HangarGaraj]

Yup, good eye!

[@burqueninja5056]

I’d ditch the rv body and build something custom out of it .

[@HunterFarnstrom]

Way to rare for that

[@RafaelPlacidohernandez]

Tengo unas preguntas. A quien le pertenece ese camper ? Se veía que no estaba muy abandonado. Que digamos está muy bonito y muy completo

[@clarkleakins879]

You are brave, or silly, testing those unnecessary systems, before a full tune up evaluation. Did you check the radiator level before driving? Transmission, power steering, brake fluid before driving? Great that it all seems to be complete. Tear apart that ventilation system! You don't want mouse poop virus! Get that radiator professional clean med, leak and pressure tested. Its the heart of the engine durability. (The AC needs upgrade/rebuild to newer "freon".) Have the brake fluid completely flushed, and system rebuilt. Monster time project. Should last decades with good care.

[@HangarGaraj]

Won't dispute the silly allegation 😅 but I did check the coolant, brake fluid, bled the brakes, checked trans fluid, and checked for leaks before I took it on the road. And yes I agree the radiator and brakes will be gone through soon, as well as the ventilation system 😅

Las cosas abandonada en estado unidos se conservan mejor que las cosas o vehículo en argentina que tiene dueño y está en uso. Cuanta diferencia

[@telavasatenerquetragar]

si viste si dejas eso unos 6 meses aca en argentina esta toda desarmada

[@gabrielgonzalez-jw6ir]

@@telavasatenerquetragar hasta parece que la lluvia fuera distinta o no llueve allá para que se oxida y pudra la chapa. Si en igual tiene las cosas en argentina se degradan. En Estados Unidos le dan marcha y arranca también jaja
