How incredible to find a 70s truck with only 38K miles, nearly mint condition interior, needing very little sprucing up to get it running!!!! Am I surprised? Not one little bit! Someone with such strong work & family ethics, and positive attitude, plus all the assistance you've given or helped to give others, has good things come back to them time & again. Just goes to show what hard work, living right & having a positive outlook can do. It's enjoyable watching other people's dreams come true before our very eyes!!! I love it!
People seem to gravitate to you, Alex, when they need a little help in their lives. You have touched so many with your sincere kindness and you are rewarded for it. Great truck!
When I watch Alex make things happen in his life with such a happy spirit and boundless energy I am truly in awe. You are an exceptionally good person sir.
Absolutely! Being willing & tenacious enough to put the work in tracking people down really paid off - most people don't think like that and for Alex it's a great asset!
@Sue Mick you stated Alex’s personality exceptionally well. I need to write this statement down and keep it next to my bed for whenever I have those Blah, woe is me, moments. I wish I had a fourth of Alex’s happiness, optimistic viewpoint, and his boundless amounts of energy. I have my days. I’m extremely energetic for almost 53 years of age. I do pretty good with a degenerative disc disease, 2 bulged discs, 2 completely ruptured discs extremely in the lowest section of my spine, and narrowing of the stenosis along with Sciatica that radiates down my hip and down my leg as described by the radiologist from my MRI as being moderate to severe in his reading and notes from his findings.
Wow! What a beauty. And it has a back seat. Love it! We had a CB radio back in the 70s. It was fun talking to the truckers when we went on road trips. Breaker breaker big rig, come back.
She's a beast & you can haul a lot of treasures with her. It's wonderful you were able to help that man out during his time of need. Congratulations Alex!
I can't tell you how happy I am that you are not one of those who "appreciate the patina" of rusty old vehicles! I love to see them lovingly restored and preserved.
I LOVE THAT TRUCK ! IT'S MY FAVORITE COLOR TO, U CAN MAKE A OLD PENNY LOOK BRAND NEW . IT LOOKS NEW AN UNTUCHED, IN MY OPINION , ORIGINAL ,KEEP IT OG, I LOV IT. MUCH LOV
That classic Ford light green brings back memories. The two tone with all the chrome is ultra-sharp. Very fancy chrome window shields. And so well protected and preserved. Well done.
Alex, thank you for all the vlogs you post. They bring happiness into my lonely life. I don't know where you find the energy. Thank God for people like you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀🍀
Alex, you remind me of my husband, always so positive, full of wonder and curious for everything about life. To find that truck on the background where your beautiful daughter was taking a ride in an antique car was amazing 🤩 You see beauty beyond what’s there…….🚛🛻🚗🚕🚙🚑🚐🚜
I had a '77 extended cab, two tone green, Ford F150 for years, but it said "Trailer Special" on it. It was so easy to work on, I did it all myself and I was a young mom at the time. I was always so proud of myself.
What a great find - my Dad was a mechanic & I'm a pastor - having overhauled everything from cars, tractors, bulldozers, and dump trucks has come in handy these past 34 years. I love you channel and I joined when you have around 5,000 subscribers.
Me too! It’s funny that several of us had good memories of our fathers and their cars or trucks, I guess that was the bonding time that is missing from families these days. ( I’m 70 so I’m old fashioned)
Alex those older Ford trucks lasted. My Dad always drove Ford pickups. He had a welding business out of the back of his. Great memories. Thanks for sharing.
My dad drove Fords. I guess that is why I'm a 59 yr old woman still driving an 2002, F-250, with 7.3 diesel N it. Love it. And if it & I continue 2 last, I'll B 85 still driving. If it works, don't fix it !
@@Cricket-el5ls i like all 3 ford is my favorite as both my fathers drove them my dream truck is a 99-03 7.3l powerstroke full 4dr(supercrew cab) 4x4 dually ive been trying to find one for 14 years but ive found only 2 and neither were for sale 😂😂i still go back every few years trying to buy the one but they wont sell it i suppose theyll sell it to me one day
I thought the same thing too. He could get around the licensing problem with the city by having a movable truck with all of the pastries and coffee in it. That way it would give him more room on the floor in the new building to put tables and chairs for people to sit in. They would buy their goodies outsideIn the truck and bring them inside to eat. I think you had to go back and look at it, or find another one. Maybe just a small one that could sit out on the cement pad out front. Why not check with the city to see if that would be allowable.
Alex always touches people’s lives in amazing ways…♥️ beautiful truck…… Be kind to each other, because in this walk through life, you will unwittingly entertain angels.
While I know you (us too) will miss the ambulance, I think this truck will bring great memories! I'm also hoping you find a cool trailer for bigger loads
Certainly a truck doesn't replace the ambulance for most of us, its a truck. Anyone can have a truck not a thing "cool" about it. LOL Been a Ford truck in my life since day one they are essential equipment for having horses, hauling hay, etc. As most people know you don't ever get rid of your old trucks when you buy a new one, they stay on the farm. 🙄😶
@@TerrisQuest The memories huh? My brother has Daddy's got new transmission, etc. would NEVER think to get rid of it. Must have 300k plus. They are part of the family(farm) never looked at it as being cool?! Where I'm from its just a given. Nobody would even think to ask, for sure not for sell can not ever be bought. Keep making memories in yours with good health and happiness. ☺
My neighbor has an old green Ford truck similar to yours. He drives it everyday! I hear him start it up every morning. I know you’ll enjoy your new to you truck. It is a great find!
Showed my husband this video when we ate lunch. He relaxed and enjoyed the truck story. He says because you keep yourself out in the world, the people in the world are more likely to interact with you. SO True 👍! Persistence pays . . . Congrats!
Wow! Major nostalgia on this one. Daddy had a 1970 Ford Ranger XLT, red and white. I was his "buddy in the truck" and we cut down and hauled every Christmas tree in it. ❤️
Room for the entire family plus a friend. 🥰 I love the way you hung around just in case that gentleman needed help. You truly are a great person. ♥️♥️♥️ P.S. you look good in that old truck. 😉
Wow Alex, seems like God has His hands on you again! Awesome!!! What a great vid! I love watching your adventures, and love that you restore old and oft neglected things!
Alexander, you are truly touched by God. Imagine finding a pristine truck, the age and style you want, just a week or so after selling the ambulance! I believe God puts people in your path because of your graciousness and giving attitude. Love it!
I have never been terribly exited about vehicles before but I grew up with a ‘79 F250 in those exact same colours and it really brought me back. I love it!
Alex it's amazing to me of all the people you meet and become a prayer answered for them, your always seem to be in the right place at the right time,God bless you and your family Alex👍
The old fords are still the best rides, my daily driver is a 1985 ford bronco, i can do all the work it will ever need myself and that alone makes up for any money i have to put into it and parts are everywhere and inexpensive. thanks for the vid.
I've been looking for an old green truck for a while. Has to be green I don't know why. Then I look on TH-cam this morning and what!? I'll keep looking. That truck is a beaut. You are so inspiring.
Great truck!! My brother restored a '65 Ford truck several years ago and he uses it for all his truck hauling needs. Hauls garbage, wood and general stuff. Great find, Alex!
That was, in my opinion, the best year Ford truck ever made. Sharp grille, and first year for plastic wheel liners up front. 1977 - 1979 were the best. Please restore it, that’s quite a find!
My grandfather had one when I was small, I was a small kid but I stood beside him as we went to get Icee drinks and boiled peanuts, I miss those days of simplicity.
I have to say this brings a tear to my eye I had a 74 in the exact same condition that got stolen some years ago and I'm so glad to see a good truck like this go back to a good home that's going to work it and love it and care for it the way these old truck should be cared for
Alexander your a real life lucky charm and a pure gent for people who you cross paths with, As for the truck paint work it would look the part with a good protective spray or wax on it as it is, good honest working truck. Unless you get the hood custom painted with the curiosity inc logo x
Alex, I BELIEVE....GOD leads you to people that need your help!! I remember that old barn & the beautiful religious picture you found....God was watching over this MAN too!!" I BELIEVE GOD PUT YOU TWO TOGETHER". Hope it's another HANS & ADAM happily after story....

Hey Another Idahoan! 👋👋Here in Idaho Falls we still see a lot of these trucks still on the road, in service and working hard!
I was sad to see the ambulance go... but man, I do love the replacement!! That is a beautiful unit!!
Josh is gonna LOVE this truck. First thing he's gonna say is.. "that's sick!" 😁 LOL
He's gonna be so jelly after the whole thing he went through getting his big 'un. 😁
😂👍
👍😂
Im jelly 😂
@@ficklepixel1273 Idk Josh's truck is cooler
Love Love Love the Old Ford,, reminds me of my DAD!!
She's a beast & you can haul a lot of treasures with her. It's wonderful you were able to help that man out during his time of need. Congratulations Alex!
Fun Fact: I met my first husband on a cb radio from a ford ranger!😆😆😅😅 Fun times! Thanks for the unintentional memories!
*Keep on truckin'!*
That truck story is such an amazing coincidence, wow!!
Oh I love that truck. I'm partial to old Ford trucks.
I can't tell you how happy I am that you are not one of those who "appreciate the patina" of rusty old vehicles! I love to see them lovingly restored and preserved.
What a neat coincidence on obtaining this treasure to replace the ambulance! You have the eye for old things no doubt...
Amazing Ford truck. Thanks for the video!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜

Love the truck. All ya need is a wrangler Jean jacket. A pair of red wing work boots and a good truckers cap. Lol.
A Stormy Kromer hat would be perfect for Alberta!
A 10 gallon cowboy hat in Idaho, lol!
And a beer

You re so talented in so many areas Alex ! That truck Was saved so fast !
Such a wholesome family ...you are a good example to the world...hardworking and genuine so helpful to others..bless you and your endeavours..
Wow! When you started it, my jaw literally dropped. It sounds SO GOOD! Perfect vehicle for you, Alex!
What a nice old truck!
Where I live every truck like that has a camper or a boat. I live on the shores of Lake Erie. I 😍 fords
I love the truck!
Great truck Alex!
You have the best luck with old vehicles. You are proof good things come to good people.
Oh man... fixing up that food truck would make such a good series.

Ha I have subscribed to both your channel, and this channel for years! Keep on fruiting on man lol!
Hey get a slug like new paint and look at the shine
Hey I'm Subscribed to YOU 😊
Wow...turned that key & I heard purring. Awesome truck Alex. Good for you👍

Another fine quality video , excellent narration
What a sweetie! And a one-ton to boot. Always remember to sit softly, so as not to disturb the horseshoe…
😂😂😂😂
She's a beauty. Made me think of my father. He was a mechanic & body man. He loved his ford trucks. He drove a '79 (I think) for many, many years.
Alexander, you have the Luck. This is just like meeting Madame Rac and then getting to respectfully empty her home.
I was imagining that she might have had a hand in this happy coincidence, as a thank you to how you honored her life’s collections
The two-tone green seems very Madame Rac, especially with all the lovely shiny chrome. I think you must be right Cathy.
Really nice truck!!
I think the patina on the hood looks great!
Great find Alex! you are awesome!

I thought I was going to miss the ambulance. Nope. This Ranger looks awesome. I look forward to watching you put it through its paces.
