I too have a '65 F100. It was my daily driver for 34 yrs. I ran the 240 six. Not one ounce of trouble from it. I was faithful on the 3,000 mile oil & filter. That engine was 27 yrs old. put on a set of the efi exh mnflds. Wow ! the difference was stunning. I replaced the 240 with a 300. Same exh mnflds. I should say...I have two plane jane mufflers. After them are two short pipes that turn in front of the pass rear tire ( short so min. back pressure). The 300 has even more pep, like that. Nice color you have. All the best, Pete 🙂
1965 was the first year for the 352 V8 cruse-O-matic transmission, Custom cab is all the anodized aluminum trim, grill, swept speedo dashboard, other things would be the padded dash and the side trim which were all optional, EVEN the passenger side visor was a option, door arm rest's were a option. Over the last 15 years I have had just as many Slicks, currently building a 65 F250 4x4.
I have a 66 short bed with the original 240 straight six and I love it. It is not daily driven due to registration and insurance regulations but it is totally reliable and such a hoot to drive and gets a lot of attention even tho it is just a survivor truck and not a show truck. I too absolutely love my truck and the enjoyment and pride of stewardship it gives to me.
today I was working on my 66 ranger. yup, the one that had mustang bucket seats and comet center console. 240 I/6. 3 on the tree. Fun trucks! Thanks for this video!
That's why I got my grandpa 65 f100 with flat wood bed, 391 v8. All I did was por15 the frame to keep the frame in great condition. The interior mint condition with a perfect seat cuz my grandpa always had a Indian blanket on it. It only has under 25k miles cuz he ordered it for pulling his 5th wheel, goose neck hitch. I even have the build sheet and og title. I will never sell it
Sweet Truck for Sure! Same color as my 69 Crew cab short box! surprised at how Nice the body is for being Northern Vehicle. It will still be around in another 50 with moderate Care! Congrats
I have a 1966 F100 , I was 10 years old when my dad bought it brand new. I have it now and it is in good shape like this one. I have a 390 V8 and a 4 speed trani granny gear. Drives like brand new still.
@@merc-ni7hy same here! I plan to do the same on my TH-cam channel. Going to buy a truck very similar to this one, in fact, it’s going to be my first vehicle!

Thanks for the good info!
Ben Türkiyede yim 64 f250 var bende. Bana çamurluk ları iç dikiz aynası. Birde elektronik ateşleme lazım
Also the 240 and 300 straight 6
Cool truck man, I have 65 short bed still in the project stage and 67 long bed that’s just about done sorting out so I can daily drive.
Heck yes brother this is the kind of video I want to see looking up old cars and trucks
I have one of these . I absolutely love it. Still running the original motor. ❤
Does it have a 240 straight 6?

Sweet
I want to find one !
Very cool that that's your every day driver cool truck why is the hood emblem upside down
He actually bought it like that. We have no idea haha
That must mean it's the holy grail of ford pickups. Lol. Still a sweet ride.
Good looking truck! I have a 1965 with a 352 and np435. What tire size you running? Looks good.
I’ll have to ask him!
But why the hubcraps, they don't hold the wheels on so..! they are more useless than a bumper sticker
@@bradzimmerman3171 Because they look good
How long has he had it?
About 8 years
Is the motor original?
It was, not now as of a few weeks ago
Nice
No air bags! We die like real men!

Would you ever recommend it for work? Hauling lightweight trailers and such?
Is he aware the hood ornament is upside down?
Yes, he bought it like that so has always left it. I had to ask him because a lot of people notice haha
Your hood emblem is upside down
He bought it like that I guess so he decided to leave it lol
cool truck..but if you keep driving it bad weather it will start to rot out soon
Just undercoat the thing it’ll be fine. What’s the point of owning one if your not going to drive it 😁
@@PickinwithPickle yes..i would fluid film the crap out of it
@@merc-ni7hy same here! I plan to do the same on my TH-cam channel. Going to buy a truck very similar to this one, in fact, it’s going to be my first vehicle!
@@PickinwithPickle sounds like a cool first vehicle
@@merc-ni7hy yeah, no Prius for me! 😆
I’m super stoked for it!
