1984 Ford F-250 Walkaround

- Walkaround video of my 1984 Ford F-250 4x4. I've owned this truck since September 1997 and did a complete frame off restoration between July 1998 and August 1999. Originally equipped with a 351W and C-6 automatic, it now has a 460 with a ZF 5 speed. Engine specs: 460 bored .030" over, forged flat top pistons with 9.5:1 compression, ported 96cc D3VE heads, Edelbrock intake, Holley carb, Crane Powermax cam with pre '73 Cloyes double roller chain, MSD 6AL ignition box with Blaster coil. Transmission is a ZF 5 speed conversion pulled from a '88 F-250 with a custom shifter I patterned after a T-19 four speed shifter so it looks original. Wheels are 305/70R16 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2 mounted on American Racing Outlaw II 16x10 rims. Tuff Country 2 1/2" suspension lift, Rancho stabilizer, Dana 44 TTB front axle, Sterling 10.25 rear with 3.55 gears. Interior is fully restored with cruise, air conditioning and factory tach.
Update: I uploaded a new video with several new updates I recently made to the truck:
• 1984 F250 Walkaround II
A brother from my church just gave me an 84 F250! Even replaced the steering column for me. I haven't asked about too much else I'm hoping to learn more about my vehicle. Like the engine it carries etc. I'm just grateful altogether!
Make a video! Join FTE, an awesome ford forum!
@@noahgaray7923 yeah i will... At the time i thought it was an 84. Its a 90 F250...
So beautiful! I love my 1984 F250. Best looking old Fords out there.
It's literally perfect. Makes me wanna get my bronco restored faster. Definitely motivation lol
I had to pause the video a couple of times to wipe the drool from my keyboard. Outstanding rig sir.
I just finished my 86 two door F-250. 460 V8 . Nice high gloss black paint with red lettering on the tail gate. When i found my truck it was burgundy with a lot of rust. Great video...
Man the truck look so clean man it looks wayyyyyyyyyy better than anything you see on the road today awesome job man.
Thanks
@@rowdyredneck1975 allmakee county eh not far from ya what kind of paint you use
Its been so long ago I can't remember but I'm pretty sure it was DuPont. Its two stage, base and clear.
Absolutely beautiful inside and out just gorgeous, thank you for this video
Best lookin bullnose I've ever seen!
Thanks!
I’m seeing this after some time but dang. I was jealous until you fired it up, then I just lost it and had to shake my head in respect. That’s so damn good a grown man should shed a tear. Nice and thanks for sharing. Brought back some real nice memories.
I have a Ford 1986 F250 w/ a 460 V8. I to painted it black with red lettering Ford on the tail gate to match my red interior. Duel exhaust, headers, and black rims. I finished restoring my truck back in 2016 and I love driving my truck around town. Great video, nice 84 truck.
Nice truck brother, dont ever sell it !!! I miss my 86 250 big time.
My 84 f150 was missing more than I thought beautiful truck man
Best looking truck made since the 1950's Chevy! Awesome job and thanks for keeping this beauty on the road.
Wow, great job on this classic! I love it!! Beautiful rig.
Just bought a 1984 f250 with the 460! Your truck is definitely inspiration! Thanks for posting.
Absolutely gorgeous, fantastic work! I'd give just about anything to have that beast.
+rswany16
Thanks man!
rowdyredneck1975 Awesome truck man! What size lift?
That is one awesome looking truck!
I had one just like it but a 351 H.O. Carbureted. They are bad looking Fords for sure! Hang on to it forever!
Beautiful truck! A lot of hard work there, but you know what you have!
This looks awesome! I just got my first vehicle ever. My uncles treasured 1984 f150. He got it new in 84. 351w with a C6
I've got a '93 F250 extended cab I want to get looking like this... Wow
Nice job, paint perfect, just the right lift. Motor sounds Primo great. Nice work. Well well done, and it's stick!
A Very Beautiful Ford F-250 Truck! I Love it!
Nice truck. I want my 73 F250 to look that clean.
love that guttural sounding exhaust,awesome truck!
This is pretty cool man I have a 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 205,517 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance and cleaned out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.
CJ Colvin I got the same truck 300k still going strong, only replaced the alternater
Zach Myers Sounds awesome man the 92-96 Ford Trucks are awesome trucks man and with proper maintenance they'll outlast pretty much anything you see on the road today as well.
Great job man! You full filled that trucks destiny. I love when I see trucks roar to life again. Looks like one bad ass '' get the #@%$ outta my way '' truck.
nice truck man im starting on mine i got a 1981 f250 in line six four speed
Looks awesome...the 1984 was a cool shape! Thanks for sharing with us..
I am from Indonesia. We don't have truck like this in here, looks like independent front suspension with leaf springs. I never knew it works
looking really good!! im doing up an 83 F150 4x4 with a Dana 44 TTB up front, finding parts for the 80 series is proving a challenge - especially in Australia!
Thank you for sharing this black beauty
Nice job man !!! You inspired me to do my Ford F-150 1985. I’m going to restored it back... thank you 🙏🏼!!!!
Love Frank and the truck
What a beautiful car
Man wouldn't Henry Ford be proud
Beautiful
super clean interior and exterior. Awesome truck
Built Ford Tough!!!!
Awesome looking & sounding truck mate. Just picked up an '83 F250 extra cab 351C, only 2WD but that may change. Cheers Peter from OZ
Beautiful truck. Sounds good also. Great job
I had a nice 82 f250 HD 4x4. Had a 400M, granny 4 speed with 4:10. True dual exhaust. Top end was 65 mph and got 8 MPG. Loved it but driving it was brutal to be honest.
beautiful rig
Your truck is gorgeous wow
Nice one...hoping to do the same someday, hate modern cars
the monsters noise made me crazy ...
Good Job 👍
AWESOME Job man looks absolutely beautiful!!!!! gives me ideas for mine!!
That's what I call a restoration
Nice pickup truck 👌👌
That’s real nice!i got a 1985 model
really nice job, it looks fantastic!
Great job, great truck.
love the truck want one just like it.
Perfection.
Beautiful ❤️
thats the best sounding 460 i have ever heard. my buddy has a bored 460 in his galaxie 500 that sounds mean, you must not have mufflers? He has flowmaster 40's
+Lisa Micka
Thanks. It has mufflers, they are a chambered mufflers called "Turbo Tubes".
wow. looks great.
Very nice.😁👍👊💥
She's a beauty working on a 85 f250 with a 6.9 what did you guys do to the shocks and suspension?
dude nice nice rig
Nice, very nice
As a fellow Iowegan I feel your pain when it comes to rust. We should sue the IDOT over that salt brine shit.
i just got a 85 f250 mines a 6.9 also a new mexico boy!!!!
Awesome restoration. Did you do the paint job and body work yourself? I'm restoring my 78 ford fairmont and can't wait for it to look as good as this. Keep these trucks on the road and keep them forever.
Looks good
Holy fuck! I wish I had all that money to do that to mine. Ive gotta a 81 f100 custom with a 351w small block. It's rusted down the whole right side for some reason. But damn that's a nice truck:)
I can’t tell you how nice and wonderful it is to see someone else going through the same process if not similar for such gorgeous vehicles just started working on a 1983. I have two questions not sure if you would get around to me. But did you replace the dash? As well as the fuel sending system?
Yes, the dash pad was replaced because the speaker grill was cracked and broken which is a very common problem with these trucks. I bought a new reproduction from Dashes Direct. They're not cheap but they are made with the original Ford tooling so they fit and look original.
This was originally a 351W truck and I'm still using the original fuel system. 460 trucks used a return line to prevent vapor lock. I have had some problems with that in the past, but wrapping the fuel lines with reflective heat wrap solved the issue.
i had a dream with this car :(
I want it like my dirdt car. Love it
nice, chrome exhaust tips would look nice
They're on the list of upgrades I'm working on, I should have them on before it comes out of winter storage.
badass!!
I am thankful you posted your resto job. Beautiful truck.I am a huge mid 80's ford truck enthusiast. Its nice to watch videos like this with folks who take pride in their work. Quick question... is that a four inch lift? If it is... did your kit come with rear leaf springs? I only ask because I bought a 4 inch rough country lift and it did not come with rear leafs and I am having difficulty finding them. I have a 85 6.9IDI and its bulldogging squatting in the back with the factory leafs. Any advise would be appreciated.
+Adam Boggs
I have the Tuff Country 2 1/2" EZ-ride lift. Mine came with single leaf lift springs that are added to the rear spring packs. They are thicker and have more of an arc than the factory springs. Mine was more of a leveling kit: 2 1/2" in the front and 1 1/2" in the rear since in stock form these trucks tend to hang lower in the front. Tuff Country makes a 4" suspension lift for the 80-87 F-250 that includes rear springs. The part numbers are: 24822K without shocks, 24822KH with hydraulic shocks, and 24822KN with gas shocks. From what I've always read the Tuff Country lifts ride much better than Rough Country.
Thanks
nice resto, i know how much sweat equity you have invested in this beast
nice truck . didn't over-do it.
she is beautiful outstanding job makes me want to restore mine
Tony Serrato Do it. you want be disappointed.
My dad had one back in 1993 til 2003 but had the truck prior to 1993
My dads first pickup, age 22
what size of tires did you use?? and how much did you litf it? i am restoring a 1986 F150 XLT Lariat Extendet Cab
very. nice
Where could I get the extension that comes off the roof to help block the sun?
Nice
so it wouldn't wonder all over the road i am running 33s I have replaced all the steering arms and I have 1 in play in the steering wheel half inch each side so it takes out the jar of a wheel hitting a gutter through to the wheel stop braken thumbs
Looking pretty mint! I’ve got an 86 f250 like this, someday going to toss the d44hd for a d60 out of my f350, and possibly the zf5. I’ve heard people say the zf5 is noisy without a dual mass flywheel but also that the DMF sucks. What did you end up with? My zf5 isn’t loud but again, can’t say I know what’s in it for a flywheel. My f250 currently has a c6
I did the Dana 60 swap about a year or two after I made this video, new video here: th-cam.com/video/n8cT2ZSd2Qs/w-d-xo.html
Dual mass flywheel is diesel only, all gas engines used a regular flywheel. There is a slight gear rollover noise at idle but its not bad at all. The ZF can be pretty noisy on a diesel without a dual mass flywheel though. It does help some if you overfill it by pouring an extra quart of fluid through the shifter hole.
Hola, tengo una Ford 86 y quiero restaurarla o cambiarla tendrías una?,soy de Argentina, contestar en español, gracias
How much did it cost you to restore it and how much is your truck worth now?
I haven't kept track of everything but I'd guess I have at least $15K invested in it. Today I'd say its worth at least $20K, maybe a little higher if the right person wanted it badly enough. I'll never sell it though. I've owned it for 20 years and I've put so much of myself into it that its become a part of me.
It is an awesome truck you did a great job, thanks for sharing that beauty to us.
Amazing truck! Just got a 1984 F-150 and plan to restore. Mind sharing what your restoration cost you?
I haven't kept track since I gradually restored it over several years but I know I have at least $15K in it.
@@rowdyredneck1975 Got you. I'm also thinking of taking the long-term plan. Thank you for your response.
Cant find many videos on 85s
Got a 96 20foot 460 ccubic inch monster
The exact rims and tires I want on my truck... Do you mind sharing the exact specifications for both? I'm not exactly great at matching up tires and rims even though it's a pretty easy thing to do, haha.
Anyways, love the truck and project. It turned out great!
Thanks. The rims are American Racing Outlaw II, 16x10" with a 8x6.5 lug pattern. The tires are BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2, LT305/70R16.
What mufflers you have? Sounds great! Looks great
They're the chambered "turbo tube" mufflers. They're pretty loud, louder than glass packs.
@@rowdyredneck1975 test drove the 4 speed id rather have a automatic I told the guy
What kind of mileage are your getting from the 460?
Since installing the 5 speed I average around 11 miles per gallon. With the original four speed I only got around 8 or 9 miles per gallon at best. Needless to say it doesn't get driven much. Its mostly a weekend toy and only sees around 500 miles a year lately.
I always did think the orginal motor sounds like a diesel especially at minus 30
Dang .did you work outside the shop.
How long did it take to restore it?
hey i just bought a 85 f250 4x4 with the 351 Windsor and i had a question what is the shoft pattern for the transfer case? it didnt have a shift knob on it
Starting with the shifter in the full forward position and moving to the rear: 2H, 4H, N, 4L
I was wandering what kind of suspension and lift or leveling kit you have under this, I got a 1986 ford f250 with a 351w I'm planning on getting a new body and doing a lot of work to
I used the Tuff Country 2 1/2" suspension lift. It has leaf packs and axle drop brackets for the front and a single leaf for each rear spring set. It lifts the front of the truck 2 1/2" and the back about 1 to 1 1/2" which levels the truck.
I'm swapping in a king pin Dana 60 front axle soon though so it will be getting a 4" Skyjacker lift.
alright cool the truck looks good, I'm hoping to do get a new body for my 86 soon
How much was the chassis? Im on a really tight budget so I dont see myself purchasing a new chassis anytime soon. What do you suggest I do?
Endy D get your chassis sand blasted and powder coated
Hard for me to tell on these older trucks but is it gas or a diesel?
Gas
Gas friend,
Why didn't you put the FORD letters back on the hood?
It never had them. Those letters were only used in 1980-81. In 1982 they put the Ford emblem in the center of the grille and eliminated the hood lettering.
@@rowdyredneck1975 ah then my 1986 hood is incorrect.
If I had 2500 dollars I could go buy one
