@@MustObeyTheRules have you taken it to mexico amd back and not have to anytning but an oil change and the regular maintenance to it? I dont think so. My little dakota still wins. Over 350k on it no engine swap or tranny problems
it may be more expensive to rebuild a ford motor but keep that engine because EVERYONE swaps to a Chevy you never see an old ford motor in a old ford truck, my dad and i kept the ford 352 motor in our '65 f100 and all the car shows we go to people praise us for not swapping to a 350 Chevy, even the Chevy people.
So a stock truck VS a truck with big tires and the wrong gears VS a truck with $15K performance work... Good job by that old Ford, proving the right gears really help get you off the line.
BlueDually4x4 the oldest truck there still has the original engines and still running that why I love ford truck my a little bit newer great work truck
Yes a heavy emissions era Chevy and Dodge versus a right before the emissions cut era for trucks anyway Ford...and the Ford still lost. All the haters will say the chevy has a crate engine, cheaper mods... Maybe if Ford had a plethora of strong small blocks instead of a select few, they could of made affordable power or crate engines too. That's a testament to the SBC.
@@ashes2ashes863 Since when is 1974 "before" the emissions era? Just look at the performance numbers for a 1970 F250 wayyyyy higher. Hell the compression ratios fell massively. And so the Chevy wins with a brand new crate engine over a near 50 year-old emissions choked stock-engine '74 Ford. Yeah really impressive for the Chevy. Try comparing a '74 Ford vs a '85 Chevy stock for stock and do this same test.
@@ashes2ashes863 And Ford does make powerful small block crate engines. The Ford 5.0 Coyote makes the same or more power than a Chevy 5.7 and it does it all with way less displacement.
Devonte McNeill Then they would have to have someone rebuild the trans and install the motor. That would be about the amount big green has into it. Although I think 15k is a little much for what big green has done.
Devonte McNeill I was thinking the same thing 😂 drop when of those in there and it'll whoop everyone's ass for sure. I'm wanting to put one in my '71 F-100
no coyote it would need a crazy amount of work to squeeze one in there with all the computer bs plus they are a wide ass engine. just rebuild that old fe big block
That old Ford weighs significantly more being a F250 long bed than that Chevrolet k10 1/2 ton shortbed. Which by the way is lighter then the ford f150 short bed 4x4 of the same year. That old Ford would have probably been a bunch harder for that Chevrolet to beat if it were a f150. A truck length lead with all that go fast stuff and a crate engine compared to that old rough running 3/4 ton long bed Ford isn't making that Chevrolet look anything but unimpressive. If $11,000 was spent under the hood of that Ford on a rebuild of that FE to 390 CI if it isnt already , add a Pair of Edelbrock Aluminum heads, Edelbrock Streetmaster intake and a Holley Center dump 750 cfm carb and Comp 268H cam , Ignition upgrade to the Duraspark big cap and spacer with MSD box and ceramic headers and 2" exhaust out to the rear, shift improvement kit in the C6 ...That Chevrolet would have got owned handidly . Easily a few truck lengths if not more depending on the traction the Ford would lose initially. Them FE Fords arent anything to underestimate stock . With the parts list I mentioned they will make 450 HP reliably for years. But HP doesnt mean a thing in those pickups. Its Torque thats important and that FE would make a gob of it with the parts list I described. With a consistent production in the 525 - 530 ft lbs peaking around the 3100 - 3200 rpm range. I know first hand having built a couple exactly as described and they transform from a great engine having great power and reliailiy to Mean tire shredding SOBs for not a bunch of money relatively speaking.
Every time one of these channels does a competition with Ford Trucks they always use a Ford that is the oldest and has the most miles on it against the competition. The same thing was done with those idiots from Top Gear USA when they put a 70's Ford with a high mileage engine against a restored 80's Chevy, against a 90's Dodge Ram. Rebuild that Ford engine or put a crate engine in there and the driver would be at the finish line taking a nap, waiting for the others to arrive. Regardless, I'd still take the '74 Ford as is over anything GM or Dodge has to offer.
The Ford, Even with the nasty crusty paint and rust is a hot looking truck. The Dodge with that kinda Semi look is alright. I like square bodied Chevys, But it looks quite plain and ordinary compared to the other two
Dan Smith but you gotta admit that the old ford did really well considering all that. if they did the same thing to rusty boy as they did with big Green (but with a ford crate engine obviously) it'd probably outperform big green.
Holy crap!!! $15k in the Chevy!!! In the end, its worth half that on the market. The Dodge is a more practical build, but still has a lot of aftermarket mods. Everyone seems to want a crate motor in the Ford. I'd rather see the Ford be the one that doesn't get "molested." Keep it original and just fix it. Rebuild the motor, rebuild the heads and a new timing chain kit. Rebuild the transmission if it needs it. If air flow is still a problem, get a carb spacer, larger intake manifold or even a bigger carburetor. Experiment a little and do a little research with some old school mechanics. But get the parts and do it yourself! For off-road, it might need an oil cooler, an electric engine fan, an electric fuel pump and some upgraded shocks. Again, these simple, minimal and practical upgrades that can be done over a weekend. There's already too many over priced, over modded, mall crawler videos on TH-cam. That old Ford is old but a classic. And by keeping it original and putting in the time, you might find it could be worth more than the other two trucks combined. Just my 2¢.
Way to go Tommy. Ford Rusty Boy all the Way...... One Coyote Crate engine, some fuel ejection. Even it up a bit. Kents buddy can rebuild the transmission and back to the track and some good ol off roads. Great video.
The Ford engine was also far from stock... he claimed he didn't know if it was a 360 or 390... I wish they had shown the engine better so see if it was even an FE engine... may have been a semi-built 400 or 460... I wasn't expecting an FE engine in a '74...
the 390 in a Ford truck rebuilt with the right parts is more powerful than what people think I had a stock 390 in a 76 F-150 you get on it you would hit the back window I've also known as 68 Ford with a 352 and a 3 on the floor with Granny gear it it definitely wouldn't let that green Chevy sitting still with all the aftermarket parts That's How Strong Ford motors are if you know what you doing with them the Dodge well that's a different story but all three are great trucks and all three are nice but that Ford is nice
they put 15k into big green and it only beat the Ford by about 1 second?! Perhaps this demonstrates how difficult it can be to dial in your setup, that you really have to know what your doing rather than just throwing cash at the problem.
Yeah Tommy, that 7 cylinder really put in a surprise run. Get Ford to help you with a new crate engine, and rebuild that trans, you will smoke Dad. All great trucks , lot of fun, love this series you three got going on. 👍👍👍
Big tire and highway gears..He said at the end it was gaining,have a 1/4 mile the Dodge would pass them...Dodge was actually fast,just 0-40 mph it couldnt take off quick due to big tires and highway gearing..
Man! Go Thomas!! The high Boy rocked this series. Get Ford to send a crate engine (or do the ERod from GM. Shoot, having a corvette engine in that thing would be pretty wonderful.
I'm a Chevy guy and I'm glad the old square body won, but I was really rooting for the Ford. Those old late 70s ford looked gorgeous. Few of my buddies them back in high school. The ford driver had the right spirit!
Otto Bauch Dodge rams are the longest lasting trucks on the road. I don't understand the hate either though. I love all trucks. They have soul. Yet I prefer my hemi.
I grew up in the back seat of a 1999 Dodge Ram White extended cab and seeing the ram here made me feel happy my dad used to haul ass in that truck it was a 5-speed.
No contest, If the K10 had the stock 305 in it, the Highboy would have shit all over it. Even with a 400hp crate engine the K10 was just barely faster.
Tommy, you need to stop pumping the throttle every time you start it. Pump it once, then start it. You're flooding it, you can see the black smoke on start up, too much fuel. Could probably use a tune of the carb too, and check timing.
I love it, I was wondering where big green was. If y'all needed one I have an 83 k20, sm465 for my daily driver, great job, the best channel and tests ever.
Tommy Hammond It'll be great to see a fresh engine and tranny in that old Ford. What diff did Big Green have? I'd like to see Rusty Boy get a 3.73 in it.
Captain Rudy Yeah, I understand that, but after the race, and I bet he won't be towing with it, that it would make it more livable to drive plus a little better on fuel.
As far as 3 speed automatic transmission go, can't beat a C6. Raced a friend, him in a 1994 F150 351/E4OD me in a 1989 F250 351/C6. Pretty similar trucks in weight, but by the time his transmission could figure out what gear to go in, I was in 3rd sailing down the track. On the flip side, he didn't have to fill tank as often though.
Edelbrock performer RPM top end kit would wake that Ford up 👍🏻. The truck 390 isn’t even close to what it’s capable of. And it won’t cost anywhere near 15k to do it
did anyone else notice that when the chevy beat both of them all the ford fan boys started giving the ford exusesXDXDXD poor ford chevy has beat you.... REST IN PEACES!!!!!
A cam, heads and stall converter in the ford would make it blow the Chevy out of the water. I’m a Chevy but. But the 360/390 is a bulletproof motor that made TONS of power reliably FROM FACTORY. You want a neat car? Swap a 390 into a Fox. Talk about a fun car.
Does Dodgezilla still have the stock 3.55 gears in the axles? It looks like it based on the way it comes off the line. I highly recommend going to 4.10s and also Mr. Truck should adjust the TV cable from the trans to the throttle body to increase the line pressure and make it shift at redline. Those two mods will make all the difference. Source: I owned a 95 dodge zilla with 35s on a 3 inch suspension lift. 35s and 3.55s were a dog.
Dodge 318 Cummins not sure what that means....but my 96 318 dodge with 115000 km and blown front seal. had it into dodge at 90 k for trans slipping, and filter change..now it's popped it's cork... no towing ever with it. i have a 96 GMC 5.7. with 3600000 km.... just changed wheel bearings and rotors and waterpump....tranny works fine..it towed a 5 th wheel camper to Arizona from canada both ways for the first 10 years of its life. granted there is Wednesday build and Friday afternoon build quality factor....
Jord A. Lol you have a 318 magnum in a second gen. I've seen chevys blow engines at 50,000 miles. Not to mention that every chevy needs a new fuel pump every 2 years.
This is like racing 3 legged turtles, but I'd love that Chevy or Ford for a hunting truck. Btw- I'd rather see a tug of war or hill climb, how bout yall?
Bryce Belton ill say in my view american trucks are the best in the world cause nobody can compare them with power and torque they make no other other country has or makes trucks like u.s does.... Japanese trucks are okay but i dont find them superior in work related situations
Those high boys and square body chevy's i swear are some of the finest looking trucks ever. They just scream "This is what a real truck looks like" Who the hell cares if the Chevy had more spent in it? Both trucks do great with tons of money put into them. At least they didn't waste that 10,000 on that Dodge.
“Either a 360 or a 390…” given it kept up with the polished Chevy turd that has a “performance” engine, it’s the 390. Pretty hard to come by these days should definitely keep it
Great stuff guys,looks like you had a blast! I think that would be awesome if Ford and RCA stepped up and did something with those trucks. That old Ford really surprised me how fast it actually was off the line there. I really hope Ford will step up to the plate on that old 74'. Those were great trucks. Sooner than later if you are going to end up blowing that engine up. And that will be a shame when that happens.
Those old f100 are tough as hell, my dad still has one in Mexico and it has gone though several years of punishing work and it still runs amazingly well. the sheet metal on those trucks is super strong compared to the flimsy sheet metal of newer trucks.
like them all but the Ford got my attention when i heard her turning over with the carburetor sad i have 87 K10 and used to had a 75 Highboy with a 390 i miss it
Hey Roman, when are the ORD goodies going in? You're going to love the Tuff Country springs and I'd recommend the EZ-Ride ones. Love them on my '77 K5. Rear shackle flip to get ride of those cheesy blocks. You will not believe how much better she will ride. After that you can yank out that SM465 and put in a NV4500. ;-)

Keep the Ford stock! Just rebuild and refresh the drivetrain. That engine is obviously not something to be thrown away.
Cliff Warren yes it is, it's a ford engine how could you not throw it away?

Probably should take care of it better then.

While I absolutely love the 2nd gen Dodges, and actually own 2 of them. I wouldn’t exactly call it a “classic” . It has no place here.
Technically it is over 25 years old. But should really have been an 80s D series. Seems like the truck is either tired or its gear ratio and tires.

Eska 1408 I'm surprised as well man.
Eska 1408 I'm not
Those 4.10s really helped it get off the line.
The Ford was lighter due to the missing metal so it was quicker. LOL He even got a jump on the Chevy but was overpowered quickly.
the 390 in a Ford truck rebuilt with the right parts is more powerful than what people think I had a stock 390 in a 76 F-150 you get on it you would hit the back window I've also known as 68 Ford with a 352 and a 3 on the floor with Granny gear it it definitely wouldn't let that green Chevy sitting still with all the aftermarket parts That's How Strong Ford motors are if you know what you doing with them the Dodge well that's a different story but all three are great trucks and all three are nice but that Ford is nice

HELL YEAH!!... BIG GREEN!!. 🏁🚀
Tommy Hammond It'll be great to see a fresh engine and tranny in that old Ford. What diff did Big Green have? I'd like to see Rusty Boy get a 3.73 in it.
Troy Strain rusty boy has 4.10s in it right now. 3.73s would only make it accelerate slower
Captain Rudy Yeah, I understand that, but after the race, and I bet he won't be towing with it, that it would make it more livable to drive plus a little better on fuel.
Troy Strain true but when you're doing a performance build like they're doing with big green mpg isn't exactly at the top of the list.
Tommy Hammond EWWW NO
As far as 3 speed automatic transmission go, can't beat a C6. Raced a friend, him in a 1994 F150 351/E4OD me in a 1989 F250 351/C6. Pretty similar trucks in weight, but by the time his transmission could figure out what gear to go in, I was in 3rd sailing down the track. On the flip side, he didn't have to fill tank as often though.
That Chevy is awesome
Edelbrock performer RPM top end kit would wake that Ford up 👍🏻. The truck 390 isn’t even close to what it’s capable of. And it won’t cost anywhere near 15k to do it
Stupid fresh motor in the Chevy ford worn out 360 dodge pos
did anyone else notice that when the chevy beat both of them all the ford fan boys started giving the ford exusesXDXDXD poor ford chevy has beat you.... REST IN PEACES!!!!!
DJBATMANGOLD well when you have a motor from this century against a motor from last century..
im a ford guy through and through and it would have won if the chevy was stock haha love watching these little grudge race
I was probably a 360 Ford. Chevy really sucks ass.
D Anderson Run what you brung. And the ford ate shit.
Solaire The SunBro I see we've found our typical chevy fanboy right here
Marcus Andre Still a sore loser as you'll ever be. You're almost as bad as the Nissan guys.
Solaire The SunBro a sore loser? Lol too bad the chev needed over 10k in mods to beat an old rusted out Ford with 360/390 running on 7 cylinders lmao.
I love the Ford though the style and look of them I think is the greatest look of all of the Ford models keep it going brother
I won't the Chevy I'll never own a Ford again
John S good
That Ford is absolutely beautiful. It's a life goal to get me a truck like that before I finish college.
Ford👍 Chevy👍 Dodge👎
MJ Y goof
Good
No!
No it’s ford👍🏿 Chevy👍🏿 dodge👍🏿
A cam, heads and stall converter in the ford would make it blow the Chevy out of the water. I’m a Chevy but. But the 360/390 is a bulletproof motor that made TONS of power reliably FROM FACTORY. You want a neat car? Swap a 390 into a Fox. Talk about a fun car.
Does Dodgezilla still have the stock 3.55 gears in the axles? It looks like it based on the way it comes off the line. I highly recommend going to 4.10s and also Mr. Truck should adjust the TV cable from the trans to the throttle body to increase the line pressure and make it shift at redline. Those two mods will make all the difference.
Source: I owned a 95 dodge zilla with 35s on a 3 inch suspension lift. 35s and 3.55s were a dog.
MrJamesLuz hello sir my 01 ram 1500 5.9 only shift at redline what can i do to fix that thanks
MrJamesLuz I love how all the idiots in the comments are bashing the 318 but they don't understand he has bigger tires with a shitty rear end.
Jord A. lol I beat the shit out of my 318 all day and never had a single problem...
Dodge 318 Cummins not sure what that means....but my 96 318 dodge with 115000 km and blown front seal. had it into dodge at 90 k for trans slipping, and filter change..now it's popped it's cork... no towing ever with it.
i have a 96 GMC 5.7. with 3600000 km.... just changed wheel bearings and rotors and waterpump....tranny works fine..it towed a 5 th wheel camper to Arizona from canada both ways for the first 10 years of its life. granted there is Wednesday build and Friday afternoon build quality factor....
Jord A. Lol you have a 318 magnum in a second gen. I've seen chevys blow engines at 50,000 miles. Not to mention that every chevy needs a new fuel pump every 2 years.
This is like racing 3 legged turtles, but I'd love that Chevy or Ford for a hunting truck. Btw- I'd rather see a tug of war or hill climb, how bout yall?
when are you going to have more on the zr2... you guys have the best car review on it by far.
Walt Whaley ZR2 vs Tacoma off road. That's the review they need. TRD pro wouldn't be fair. TRD off road is more Comparable by the numbers.
Brandon H zr2>trdpro
I think the zr2 will take the taco....
front lockers diesel..... new shocks... ect....
Plus it did the Rubicon trail with out one winch.... that speaks for it's self
Those old Ford Trucks are bad ass looking.
I'd love to have that '74 F-250, I have a '71 a F-100
I challenge the chevy to a race against a 71 ford with a WHOLE lot less money into it. 360 with a cam, 4 barrel carb, and some headers
Nathan needs to buy a Toyota T100 or first generation Tundra 4x4.
Oh gosh...why?
Ford: oh it’s gonna be close!
Chevy: hold my beer
10K in that Chevy and that's the best it could do?
7.3 Power stroke into the high boy
grumpybill nah 460
I was originally a Ford guy. Got married had kids turned into a sedan dad. Really want my truck back. This video shows that Ford is still awesome.
The Dodge got destroyed 😢 I wish I can put my Nissan against these 😂
Better bring a tow truck!
Jutdudebra 1 It definitely wouldn't need a tow truck lol Nissan's last forever I would get smoked though haha
Maria Huerta I wouldnt say stronger but the american engines are much more powerful
Bryce Belton ill say in my view american trucks are the best in the world cause nobody can compare them with power and torque they make no other other country has or makes trucks like u.s does.... Japanese trucks are okay but i dont find them superior in work related situations
Bryce Belton ford is mostly made in america but dodge and chevy is a 50/50
please let it be that Ford needs the Coyote crate engine
Trust me I'm a chevy guy but speed doesn't matter when you're comparing trucks torque off-road capabilities, etc are what really matter
I notice old dodge trucks aren't seen as much as f100s or C10s
Ford's victorious you know it's sad when the dodge is near 20 years newer than the ford and still gets beat
Those high boys and square body chevy's i swear are some of the finest looking trucks ever.
They just scream "This is what a real truck looks like"
Who the hell cares if the Chevy had more spent in it? Both trucks do great with tons of money put into them. At least they didn't waste that 10,000 on that Dodge.
Let's not forget dodge does have some old beauties. My dad used to drive an 85 dodge ram 1500 when I was real young. Miss that old truck.
“Either a 360 or a 390…” given it kept up with the polished Chevy turd that has a “performance” engine, it’s the 390. Pretty hard to come by these days should definitely keep it
To late, this videos 5 years old and they sold it not to long after this.
"Is it circumcised" 🤣🤣
#2ndQuestion #Gmfu
The 85 Chevy has a 700r 4 trans an it's one of the best transmission Chevy ever made
For the amount of money spent on the Chevy it sure didn't beat the Ford by much
That ford is crazy fast for a old truck! Race my 97 360 lmao
Great stuff guys,looks like you had a blast! I think that would be awesome if Ford and RCA stepped up and did something with those trucks. That old Ford really surprised me how fast it actually was off the line there. I really hope Ford will step up to the plate on that old 74'. Those were great trucks. Sooner than later if you are going to end up blowing that engine up. And that will be a shame when that happens.
That ford looks amazing.
I'm a Ford guy and it was not fair on the last race but at least it was fun
Those old f100 are tough as hell, my dad still has one in Mexico and it has gone though several years of punishing work and it still runs amazingly well. the sheet metal on those trucks is super strong compared to the flimsy sheet metal of newer trucks.
Good old Dent side ford! :D
Ford is the best
like them all but the Ford got my attention when i heard her turning over with the carburetor sad i have 87 K10 and used to had a 75 Highboy with a 390 i miss it
add some breaks and a set of new tires to the big Green and send it back up the Ike Gauntlet lol
ford could have done it with some upgrades 😉
And we all know the Rusty Ford is the real winner.
Wanna do me a favor pls? Can you make a video on how to build a prerunner and what parts u need as well as what the potential cost could be
The chevy truck is the best looking one out of the 3
Hey Roman, when are the ORD goodies going in? You're going to love the Tuff Country springs and I'd recommend the EZ-Ride ones. Love them on my '77 K5. Rear shackle flip to get ride of those cheesy blocks. You will not believe how much better she will ride. After that you can yank out that SM465 and put in a NV4500. ;-)
+Don Leamon thanks for the tips. The suspension is next on the to do list. The current ride is just terrible.
