Well he’s got a 69 Grill in that one.. fact.. and that’s really the only difference.. no Really he’s got the wrong grill in that .. look it up if you think I’m lying.. cause that truck looks like a 69 ... ( because of the grill) again that’s all that changed
67 to 69 are toughest Ford trucks ever produced no doubt. they are indestructible, especially when equipped with the 300ci 4.9L inline six cylinder engine.
GENTLE MEN , THIS GOT ME VIBRATING I VE BEEN IN THESE TRUCKS MY WHOLE LIFE , HAVE HAD A HIGHBOY YEARS AGO , AND NOW OWN A CREWCAB 73 . CLOSED KNUCKLE , IN ROUGH SHAPE . I AM IS SEARCH OF ONE OF THESE , I AM SURE YOU GET THIS ALL THE TIME . IAM EASY TO FIND ON TH-cam . VERY NICE TRUCK.
Hey Buckin! Much love from Langley, BC. Was subscribed back in the days of you and vik working on his old competition axe:). Hope you’re doing well take care
I love seeing that four speed manual shifter, my grandfather had a 1972 F-250. Manual transfer case shifter and manual hubs, old school and simple. I like it.
That’s one thing I always thought about my 77 highboy, that the doors always sounded so hollow and tinny, so I took off the interior door panel, and I cut a piece of that thick felt sound deadening material or whatever you call it, and I put it against the outside door skin and taped it down all the way around the edges with that aluminum tape, and you would not believe how nice it sounded when you closed the doors. I couldn’t believe the difference! It was sweet!
Had a 68 F100, still have a 73 F250 Highboy w/428. They are nice, that one looks great. Love the body style of the old bumpside, mostly the hood and grill. These Highboys are getting hard to find, glad to see other restoring theirs.
Hello Mark. Could you tell me if the rubber cab mounts for 67-72 ford 4x2 are the same as 4x4. Can't find anyone that lists them for 4x4 they all say 4x2. Or would you tell me where you purchase yours from please.
The trucks they make now are faster, stop better and are far safer than these. Not to mention way better fuel mileage. That said I'd take this one over a new one myself.
@@skigdividerx4991 Faster? Safer? when these pick ups were on the road gas was 34 cents a gallon did not worry about filling the tank in those days, So glad I was there to enjoy Real pick up's and cars in those years not the plastic crap they make today.
@@improperbostonian6722 Yeh way faster and watch the crash tests on older trucks, way safer! The newer trucks were designed to crash without killing the person driving. Drive a new Ecoboost. Nothing made back then would come close to one pulling, racing or whatever. I grew up driving the 67-79 Fords. Love them.
Absolutely beautiful truck... very well done!! As a former '67 bumpside owner, I know how hard it is to source parts and find a truck solid enough to rescue. I'm very envious of what you have here!!
Fan Shroud Is For Cooling ... not safety.. I would say I put a shroud on so it cools properly... but that’s Me..I don’t know to much about this Mechycanical stuff.. thank goodness for auto crafters.. YOU DO NOT NEED FIRST GEAR IN THAT TRUCK... it’s a pulling gear not for the road. Like ever.. but again I don’t this stuff like you do...obviously. Ummm nice shift ball?... it’s an Extremely nice rig.. & that is sure as shit is not a 72 Grill.. 67/68 I Think.. I Would Just Tell People I Didn’t Know What A 1972 Grill Looks Like.. no I wouldn’t.., Cause I Do .. No Really. I know a 72 Grill From A 67-68.. & 70-71-AND 72 Are All Different.. but I don’t these truck thingys like You Do.. it’s a very nice 19?? F-250 well done.. I think I don’t know those thingys like you do..good luck & God Bless.. really
Yes, of course, it's designed to help it cool. But these trucks (highboys) didn't come with one from the factory for some reason, so my own purpose is safety.
This is an absolute beast of a truck, there’s not a new Ford truck made that I’d rather have than this. That says a lot since I like the new Fords pretty good.
Sorry. I'm just now getting some very old messages. Must have had something to do with my settings. Anyway, you can send an email to champ3x7@aol.com. Leave your number. I'll get back to you.
👍👍. You did a great job a really good job. I have 3 67 f-100 4x4 short bed, one 2 wheel drive and a F-250 short crew. I have a question for yeah how do you like that power steering kit? I need to get 4 kits. I am wanting to build mine up to as stock as possible with ofcourse power steering and power brakes. You did great again thanks for the video
Thanks, Martin. I absolutely LOVE the Benchwork kit. Easy to install and you don't have to alter any structure. The only thing you'll need to trim is one ear of the radiator support (sheet metal). Simple to do. And the adjustable steering arm makes it all go together easily, too. If you call them, ask for Pat and tell him I told you to call. Good people to work with.
@@bumpsideaddictionswithmarc3976 O Marc thanks for the information, i have been looking at them for some time now just havent takin the dive. I'll give Pat a jingle for sure thanks Marc.. I have another question but I'll hit you up down the road. stay safe out their.
I wish this was my truck. I had a 1971 Ford F250 Highboy and really miss it, mine was maroon and had original split rims on it. You sure I can't swap you a 1998 GMC K2500 extended cap 4x4 pickup with a new 7.4L ( 454ci ) motor and 5 speed manual transmission for your Highboy? I didn't think so, but it was worth a try. Nice truck. JT
Wrong color of blué. My 1st Ford was a 69 F100, 360 V8. I bought it from the Ford dealer I worked for while in high school. Spent most of my life as a mechanic and owned several trucks that are now classics, even a 1st generation Bronco.
I grew up watching marc build old Fords on my very first facebook as a kid. I still have a facebook. Just not that same account. And beleive it or not I still have the same old Ford I did then lol. Marcs an incredible builder. I'd love to remember what group it is to join to continue following him and his builds in fb.
Love the color combination! My first truck was a '73 F100 Ranger XLT 390 with the C6 Auto Black over Dark Wine. I think it's time to pick up another one!
No frills no bullshit four-wheel-drive Ford pick up truck. No electronic four-wheel-drive system. No backup cameras no LED fucking lights. No bullshit included on this truck. Bad ass.
Hi Marc, where can I find the rear leaf spring and shackle bushings for the highboy? I've called Auto Krafters and D. Carpenter, nobody has them. Ugh I'm stuck here!
Amazing build Marc. I just got back my Dads original 67 F250. so excided to get back in shape. maybe do a complete restore down the road. I posted some pics on your FB group. I wanted to say thank you for sharing the information on where you go to get parts. that has already been so helpful. Where is the best place to get the rims like you have on this truck. I didn't see them on the Vintage tire web page. And what size are they? I think you said in a video, but I'm not sure. Again thank for pointing us newbe's in the right directions. And do you take on customer restores?
Hey, brother. Sorry I'm just now seeing this comment. The wheels are 1998-2008 Ford E250 / E350 van wheels. I just buy nice ones at the salvage yard, then send them for sandblasting and powder coating.
Did you Mean "CLUTCH driver"? If so, yup. I do that in congested areas. Driving a restored truck on the road, scares the hell out of me, so I keep one foot above the clutch and always ready to stab that brake pedal. Lots of nuts on the road and I sure don't want to wreck one of these things!
I just bought 71 f250 high boy it's in excellent shape always barn kept only one rust spot inside cab pass side air vent ( mice) the frame is clean they put disc brakes all the way around it, with a 400 modified that runs great all the sheet metal is straight. It could be a daily driver as it sits, but I'm thinking a restoration and I'll never buy another truck again!, it also has factory power steering from a later truck. I am going to check out auto crafters!. You did an excellent job on this truck!, Award Winning!.I loved the plaid on the seat and the doors!, Awesome!. Have a good day!.
Oh this is a GREAT truck! Any idea where I might could get a dark navy dash pad, door cards, or door arm rests for a 69 f100 ranger? Been having a hard time locating replacements for these cracked pieces on my truck.
Beautiful truck. Well done. I'm in the middle of a "dent-side" 74 Highboy restoration and can't wait to get it back on the road. What wheel and tire combination are you running? The truck I'm starting with had some poorly fitting knock off pro-comps on it and they of course need replacing. thanks
If I had a choice of this truck or a brand new one I would want the 69.
Well he’s got a 69 Grill in that one.. fact.. and that’s really the only difference.. no Really he’s got the wrong grill in that .. look it up if you think I’m lying.. cause that truck looks like a 69 ... ( because of the grill) again that’s all that changed
All the way man, this is pure class.
@@donaldleavy4379 so, still looks good
The 1967-72 Ford trucks are the best looking trucks ever produced by Ford 💪👍🔥 !!!!!!!!
Agreed!
67 to 69 are toughest Ford trucks ever produced no doubt. they are indestructible, especially when equipped with the 300ci 4.9L inline six cylinder engine.
What a beautiful truck. You did some great work, and I’m surprised that I haven’t seen this sooner.
Thanks. Appreciate the compliments and you watching. New content coming soon.
That generation of truck was so nice looking. I dunno what it is about it but it just looks so good to me. Too bad they are so expensive now!
Man that thing looks and sounds amazing!
Thank you.

Whenever I want to see a real truck. I come back to this video. Ford knew how to build them
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
It's perfect. I really like the understated OEM look with those steelies. That's how I remember a lot of them.
Thank you.
Yep. The aesthetics with those wheels & those trucks work well together; they don't need covers.
Those runs are an absolute must!
Only thing missing is the rear window gunrack.
Made in USA.
I wish it was me getting this truck! Just beautiful!
Thank you.
I am in love. My dream is a 79 250. With toolbox in bed. Rootbeer brown, dual tanks, xlt
No me.
That's one of the sharpest (Toughest) F-Series, I've seen in a long while! Sure am filled with envy, right about now...😲
Thank you. I'm working on its sister truck and should have some video up soon.
Setting that truck made me wish I still had my 71 F-100 custom
I love the truck it's beautiful I watched the video maybe once month to just I guess dream that it was mine I've always been a Ford man
Beautiful truck. I love that interior, and those tires look great, too.
Thank you.
Love the Ford NP 435. My favorite transmission.
Mr. Majestyk would be proud
I love the tire choice! Also sounds awesome!
Thank you.
Your workmanship is phenomenal thank you for sharing.. Brings back memories
Thank you for the compliment. I'm not perfect, but I try. Working on another one at present. Stay tuned!
@@bumpsideaddictionswithmarc3976 Mark how do I get hold of you have highboy questions Brian Jones
champ3x7@aol.com We can exchange numbers there.
What a beautiful truck! So tastefully done. Love the tire and wheel combo! The factory OEM look really does it for me
Yea I like that oem look also
I love seeing that four speed manual shifter, my grandfather had a 1972 F-250. Manual transfer case shifter and manual hubs, old school and simple. I like it.
Yup! Brings me back to my youth.
I have a 1999 F 250 4x4 with a 5 speed manual and V-10. It is a horse! Long bed, extended cab and overload springs.
Yep, the average man can fix anything that goes wrong on those old trucks, and honestly a lot of the things you mentioned rarely go bad anyway.
I’ve been a Chevy guy for so many years but looking at that, wow that’s beautiful
That thing is perfect. Love the color. Had a ‘78 4x4 with a 351m for a bunch of years. Always ran and drove great.
Thanks. General consensus is that it turned out pretty well. I appreciate the likes, comments and views. Helps me keep at it.
What price did this truck end up selling for...if you can say.??
$100K.
I can hardly take it, it almost to beautiful. When you started that engine😵💫
Nice truck. The only thing I hated about my '68 highboy was when people slammed my doors!!
I know the feeling!
That’s one thing I always thought about my 77 highboy, that the doors always sounded so hollow and tinny, so I took off the interior door panel, and I cut a piece of that thick felt sound deadening material or whatever you call it, and I put it against the outside door skin and taped it down all the way around the edges with that aluminum tape, and you would not believe how nice it sounded when you closed the doors. I couldn’t believe the difference! It was sweet!
Do a stroker on the FE and keep the 390 decals just for fun .
Is this youtube channle going to have more videos? Its a great chanel for bumpsides.
Awsome , never had one that nice when i was a kid!
Thanks.
When trucks were trucks. Sweet ole ford
That’s a beautiful truck!!
Had a 68 F100, still have a 73 F250 Highboy w/428. They are nice, that one looks great. Love the body style of the old bumpside, mostly the hood and grill. These Highboys are getting hard to find, glad to see other restoring theirs.
