Did ya notice that while checking out the camper interior Lucky put his hand on the refrigerator door for a moment before realizing what might be in there and decided not to look. Good choice Lucky. I've seen too many abandoned house videos and an old 'fridge should only be opened by a trained professional in full PPE. 😊 ❤👍
I cleaned houses out after hurricane Katrina. The refrigerators got tightly duct taped shut before hauling out. Sometimes a little juice would leak out and OMG!🤢🤮
I learned to drive in a 71 Ford F100 that my dad picked up at a farm auction for $200. Eventually blew up the 302 and he and I rebuilt it. Good memories, thanks for sharing the video and resparking them!
WOW... Very Cool.. Great Find.. I just did this same thing about 3 months ago.. I rescued an Original Owner Bumpside F250 Ranger Camper Special that had been sitting ( somewhere between 10 & 15 years since it had run ).. Glad you were able to nurse it back to your shop.. Looking forward to seeing it run and drive...
Well you did it again , i told you my grandpa had the 71 rancho wagon , he also bought a Ford Truck too! I believe it was 1975 Ranger and it he bought camper top and he built beds and grandma made curtains ! Went fishing , took the boat stayed in the camper ! Lol Its was yellow with white strips !
Surprised it only had the 360 in it... The Ranger model of that era was the top of the line, like the Platinum models of today.. That camper is the time capsule of the 70's. Bet it can be cleaned up and refreshed and be just fine! Just like the truck. We had a 71 F250 "Custom-Camper Special" that Dad bought brand new in 71. I was 8 years old. It had the 390 in it, auto, power brakes and that was it. We would rent slide in campers for it. But they only were bed length. That camper was the "First Class" style back then. We rented the "Steerage Class" of campers.. Ice box fridge, hand pump water for the sink.. It was great! Nice find.
Cool rig! Lots of hardcore RV guys would love to have this, great score! In Dec-Feb Arizona will have hundreds of thousands of campers there. Be a good time to sell it if you list in FB and show Arizona location you’ll get lots of interest
Was an Airforce Brat and moved all the time. But I remember in about 69 my Grandfather had a camper and Truck just like that. They lived in Bakersfield and we road on top of shell to Lake Isabelle. Appreciate you bringing back some great memories.
A really great score yet again Lucky 🍀!!! So glad to see you able to score these old gold items and keep them going!!! Looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen next with this one!!!
Had one.Sold my '70 C10 1/2 ton bought the F250 Ranger Camper Special light green. 360 no AC dual glasspack exhaust. 91k from the 1st owner I put another 125k on it got lousy mpg was the reason for dual fuel tanks. Great truck worked it hard.
Y'all have a nice looking truck once the camper was off. To bad it's in such rough shape would have been fun to take to the drags. Thank y'all for sharing and living life in the sketch level red.
Super nice, Camper Special Ford - and with AC! The best part is no rodent damage anywhere. Here in western Washington, it would be moldy, rotten and full of crap. Oh and the saddle compartments would be rusted through. Someone will be thrilled to get that rig.
ONE HOUR AND 7 MINUTES??. That's all I can take. Can't take no more. WAAAY TOO MUCH LUCKY!!. Ridiculous, Ridiculous Ridiculous!!. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you!!. Nice save. Worth every dime. You didn't lose on that one. Shady Acres tho'. Watch yo Back.
Man this episode hit me in the feels. My Late Dad bought a brand new 1967 Ford F-100 Camper Special from Smith Ford on Brookhurst St. in Garden Grove for $3200.00. We put in a cabover camper soon thereafter. And I don't think that there was/is a campground from Westminster to the Mexican border that we didn't camp in at least once. The way we unloaded our camper was really simple. It had a track system screwed to the bed of the truck and a pulley type deal that hooked to the end of the bed. You flipped a dog one way and you could turn the hand crank and it would slide the camper into the bed or if you flipped the dog the other way it would let you crank the camper out of the bed. It had legs with pads on the front of the camper and the legs on the rear had metal caster wheels so it would roll back. It was such a easy way that the then 9 year old me could unload the camper by myself. And yes everything inside of the camper was avocado green. R.I.P. Mom and Dad. I miss you more everyday. 6=8.
What a treat from a *yester-year.* These solid, (in large part), machines either find you or you find them. These are from the era when trucks were built tuff. Engine sounded like it had several stuck valves / lifters, may not have freed up much after running for a while, but what a *drivable* surprise. My Dad had a 1972 camper-special / (with camper on-board), pretty sure it had the 360 CID. Way to score another classic. 👍
So nice to revive vehicles from California, up here in the north east that truck would've been rotted/seized/collapsed into the ground. Nice looking truck!
Perfectly executed 🔥this is SoCal 💯 ghetto bird and Lucky and the boys in our jungle lol we need a part 2 but place that camper that was in the backyard..
Great truck Lucky! Over my many years, I’ve owned a 67 F250, 71 F100, and a 72 F100. I’ve been looking at the 67 to 72 ford trucks on Market Place. Some day hoping to find another one. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with it? Looking forward to the videos…
How cool is that ! For us Europeans, American sketchy areas are hard to spot sometimes. Whey can look nice, but you gotta be in the know to know that it's a no-go. Here in Europe, sketchy looks sketchy.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with it? Looking forward to the videos… I saw the other day a Crown Vic on market place for 600. It was crunched a little on the left front
Man, that grille is pristine! So many guys ripped those out and put in tube steel. A fine looking ride. Not sure, but I think there are IFS conversions to replace the twin I-Beam stuff so you won’t be buying tires all the time. Dirthead Dave knows a bit about that.
Make sure the battree has a go handle, sparkolators, you’ll need Berrymans for throwing down the yap, and a Lone Wolf 3000 remote starter. Oh and EVERYONE giggles when an engine starts after years of sitting still. Lucky, Derek, Wes from Watch Wes Work and Darren aka Mustie1. And me.
Those old FE's are great engines..That one is already detuned for emissions,but very easy to get it running stong..You can make it into 390 with changing crank rods and pistons.Running a 428 crank will get you a 410 with 410 parts.These engines are very interchangeable.Fords nascar engine of the 60's
My neighbor passed away and the family gave me a 72 F250 camper special with 9000 miles had a big camper like this one. I put a wrecker boom on it a drove it 195000 miles never did any major repairs best truck I ever had, it was a 360 4spd.
Man I wish someone would gift me something like that! I'd be lucky (no pun intended) if I could afford a rusted out one lol. love watching your content Lucky keep it up man
Good times 🎉 what a time capsule. Like the lever action ice cube tray. Gas station magnets. Probably complementary with a full tank. Might be 125k with the seat worn but maybe they sat in it while parked 🎉
Growing up in 60s SoCal ~ just have to guess...Lakewood ? South Gate ? Reminds me of the Recycler days pulling $800 Falcon Sprints, etc etc out of SoCal Postwar Tract alleys a million times like that one. Use to go to Salton Sea w the next door neighbors' in their Camper like that on their '58 Apache....Gotta love those Pic a Part Alloys for the insta-Lucky style. California Dream Machine !
Those old FE engines were pretty tough and log lasting but the valve seals always went bad. That slide in camper was pretty much top of the line when it was new and still is in pretty good condition but loaded in the truck going down the road you would only be getting about 5-7 mpg, hence the dual tanks on the truck.
If you get four fifty gallon steel drums and slide them underneath the floor of the camper, you won't have to worry as much about the jacks collapsing.

That truck is awesome! What a time capsule! I hope you hang on to it. I'd love to see future videos of you working your magic on it. Great video!
Thought I was on Vice Grip Garage's channel for a bit!! This was out of Derek's playbook!! Nice truck, though!!👍👍👍❤️
Filming it maybe

Awesome score! You don't find them in that condition everyday. You need to put a four leaf clover on a shirt of the f250 call it LUCK'Y Charm.😁😁👍👍
I’m glad to see lucky with his own show he deserves it can’t wait to see what he puts together next
Great find.. can't wait to see what you do with it

Wow! Great find!❤
What a gift!!! Nice! That will be cool once you have had a chance to figure out what you want to do with it.
The gate opening itself is epic!
Was an Airforce Brat and moved all the time. But I remember in about 69 my Grandfather had a camper and Truck just like that. They lived in Bakersfield and we road on top of shell to Lake Isabelle. Appreciate you bringing back some great memories.
Lucky - when that thing was running it reminded me of the bi-planes we flew in WW1...
A really great score yet again Lucky 🍀!!! So glad to see you able to score these old gold items and keep them going!!! Looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen next with this one!!!
Thanks lucky!appreciate watching what you do!
I appreciate that!

I got SMELL-O-VISION as soon as Lucky stepped into that crusty camper! Childhood memories
Since I moved to Idaho, I had forgotten what the circling ghetto bird sounded like, and I’m glad…
I moved from Idaho, I never new ghetto birds flew in circles? What a waste of jet fuel, did they catch the guy?
This truck is mint. Hear the PD chopper in the background keeping you both company.
Long fan of your show and all things Lucky (presently sportin my Mobil Tech hoody). Thanks for supporting law enforcement, I’m retired Chicago PD.
Y'all have a nice looking truck once the camper was off. To bad it's in such rough shape would have been fun to take to the drags. Thank y'all for sharing and living life in the sketch level red.
Damn - that's one super nice time capsule of a find Lucky! Hang on to this one! :-)
That camper is awesome you guys should restore it what a cool old rig
I dream about finding a truck like this. Dang!
I would love to have that truck.... Thanks for sharing .hope something good comes to this truck
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant hose clamp
Really liked this video man
Thank you
This is amazing. Way to go Lucky!
that camper is super sharp. At that age they are usually rotten. I'd love to get my hands on that 🥰
Makes me wonder how many treasures sitting in the hood waiting to be disseminated. Great episode 👍
Driving up the alley it sounds like Christine pulling into Darnell’s garage for the first time. 😂

Well, why the hell not. I like the story of a guy making it 30 plus years and " never busy again" Be well.
So nice to revive vehicles from California, up here in the north east that truck would've been rotted/seized/collapsed into the ground. Nice looking truck!
That thing is too cool!
The dude that loaned you his wheels they look really good on the f250.
Great truck I can’t wait to see what you do
Appreciate the support! 🏁
Too cool , great video , thank you Lucky
Appreciate that! 👍
That Lucky he's handier than a pocket on a shirt 😊
Perfectly executed 🔥this is SoCal 💯 ghetto bird and Lucky and the boys in our jungle lol we need a part 2 but place that camper that was in the backyard..
Freaking sweet truck!! Definitely have luck, on your side!! Imagine how the truck felt, getting that camper off its back.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Cool truck! Price was right !
Great truck Lucky! Over my many years, I’ve owned a 67 F250, 71 F100, and a 72 F100. I’ve been looking at the 67 to 72 ford trucks on Market Place. Some day hoping to find another one. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with it? Looking forward to the videos…
Love it!
Thanks!!
That thing is sweet! Total time capsule
Nice cali patina 👍😎
I'm so envious of you finding a time capsule like this
How cool is that ! For us Europeans, American sketchy areas are hard to spot sometimes. Whey can look nice, but you gotta be in the know to know that it's a no-go. Here in Europe, sketchy looks sketchy.
55 gallon drums make excellent supports under that camper ! And NO not on their sides . As funny as that would be 😂
Back in the day Ranger XLT was top of the line trim package
Every day is a Lucky day for a man called Lucky.

I love the truck. like my dad's old truck 👍👍👍👍
For as long as it sat in the California sun, I'm shocked at how nice the interior managed to stay
Man, that grille is pristine! So many guys ripped those out and put in tube steel. A fine looking ride. Not sure, but I think there are IFS conversions to replace the twin I-Beam stuff so you won’t be buying tires all the time. Dirthead Dave knows a bit about that.
You should keep the original rims and good luck the show been watching you from day one way back on hotrod
Love those old FE fords- I am weird like that
Make sure the battree has a go handle, sparkolators, you’ll need Berrymans for throwing down the yap, and a Lone Wolf 3000 remote starter.
Oh and EVERYONE giggles when an engine starts after years of sitting still. Lucky, Derek, Wes from Watch Wes Work and Darren aka Mustie1. And me.
That is so cool
Those wheels actually look decent on there

Man your a cool fellow like watching your friends and you on speed Chanel
" I had the E- Brick in my hand" 😂😂😂
Too cool. Another great video 👍👍
Appreciate that! 🏁
My neighbor passed away and the family gave me a 72 F250 camper special with 9000 miles had a big camper like this one. I put a wrecker boom on it a drove it 195000 miles never did any major repairs best truck I ever had, it was a 360 4spd.
Metric late model superduty wheels got ya! 8x170 vs. 8x6.5!
I hope you keep the long bed.
Man I wish someone would gift me something like that! I'd be lucky (no pun intended) if I could afford a rusted out one lol. love watching your content Lucky keep it up man
Hell I like Lucky grip garage
👊🏻🏁

What a score
I thought it had the dreaded rod knock when it first fired.
My great great grandfather had the same set up on a 70 Chevy

That slide in camper was pretty much top of the line when it was new and still is in pretty good condition but loaded in the truck going down the road you would only be getting about 5-7 mpg, hence the dual tanks on the truck.
That small, collapsible shovel is a US Army entrenching tool.
Lucky, in a Ford, oh I felt a tremble in the Force
Wouldn’t be surprised if you come back in the morning and someone is living in it
If you get four fifty gallon steel drums and slide them underneath the floor of the camper, you won't have to worry as much about the jacks collapsing.
That's the kind of stuff you find bodies in. 🤣
Cool truck, what are your plans with it? I wanna thank ya for letting me hang out in your VLOG..."5-0" in the sky will never find me in here!!! 😉
I need the extended asmr power washing video.
hope you didn't forget the tailgate in the camper
That would be a awesome tow rig for the f100 for duck tape drags .
What's up with the Chopper....Sheeeeesh
Nice old ford truck
Put out the word to the camper people living on the streets of LA that you have a camper that you want gone and it'll be gone in a heartbeat.
The Ford Expeditions (and 98+ Super Dutys) use the metric bolt pattern. Only the Ford vans continued with the standard non metric 8 bolt wheels.
You guys are making me thirsty just watching you guys!
😂😂😂😂😂
