First truck I ever drove was my great-grandfathers 71 F250 Camper Special. A candy apple red 2wd, no power steering, no power brake, radio delete unit with a 360. I was eight years old when I was first offered to drive all over the farm with my grandfather riding shotgun and my great-grandfather sitting on the tailgate. It was hard for me to steer through some of the tighter sections despite the large steering wheel. My grandpa quipped that it had "Armstrong power steering". I didn't get it at the time, but well played grandpa, well played. Miss those days. The truck had 30,000 miles on it at the time, but had been a farm truck is whole life, and it looked the part. It fort brought to a shop to get the king pins replaced. The shop managed to break the I beams and was unable to find parts, so was towed home with no front suspension. There it sat for five or six years. Some parts ended up getting sold and eventually it got junked. Wish I could get it back. I still carry it's original key on my key chain. Dang, what a flood of memories!
Absolutely gorgeous truck ! But to be honest.. I kinda liked the before pics when it was faded paint and had that old patina . A truck you can put to work and not be afraid to take in the bush for a load of firewood .
That is gorgeous 😍 I'm a mopar guy but I love those old bump side fords. My uncle bought a new one in 1972 and he still has it in good condition. 390 2wd
Gorgeous truck. Good job! I have a 1977 F-150 Ranger 4x4 short bed flare side about the same condition as yours was when you started. Hopefully I can eventually get it as nice as yours!
Way back in my college days, I drove one of these--a '71 model instead of a '70. The grill was about the only difference. The F-100 was tough, but it had many shortcomings, even compared to the competing GM and Dodge 1/2 ton 4x4's at the time. No power steering option, drum front brakes, no automatic transmission option, and--maybe the worst shortcoming--only a single speed transfer case. The 360 V8 was the biggest engine option and the engine was well-known for having early valve guide failures--the ones on my truck were failing at 43K miles, despite the truck being rigorously maintained. Many of that generation of trucks with 360's wound up getting the much better 390 V8 swapped into them. By '74, I had switched to GM pickups and I did not buy another Ford vehicle for 15 years. Times change--I have not bought a GM vehicle for nearly 20 years now.
Well done sir..she's absolutely beautiful. The only thing I would have done differently is left the headlights more original looking..But I'm not criticizing your choices at all just my opinion..I love these old trucks. The first vehicle I ever drove in my life was my grandfathers long bed 72 with a 390 two barrel C6 tranny and posi 410 rear diff..It was a hoss as I'm sure yours is..His was two wheel drive but it was a true two wheel drive. This video brings back wonderful memories for me. Thank you for sharing your exquisite truck..God bless you sir.
Wow, what a restoration. I would take her down to Texas. And in Between Dallas and San Antonio. Just put the for sale sign up on her. She would be gone in 30 minutes.
La Ford Pick Up F.250 1970.Roja. Esta increiblemente impecable tanto de pintura.carrocetia accesorios.parachoque cromados bien brillantes. Sus partes de chassis se ve todo nuevo bien limpio impermeabilizado. Esos 4 cauchos 0.kms inmejorables imponentes. Su interior de cabina tambien impecable. Su motor se con todo nuevo y silencioso indicativo que esta en optimo estado. Yo les confieso que soy loco por las F.100 solo por el cajon mas corto que las hace con un vehiculo que se mete en cualquier estacionamiento solo por eso. Esta F.250 es mas mas trabajo pero esta bellisima y como nueva para que la tengas toda la vida. Franklin Larreal Varela- Venezuela.10/04/2024.
Nice build!! I am building the same truck , except a 72. Love the ride of the f100. Where did you get your rubber body mounts?? No one seems to make them for f100.
Eata preciosa tu camioneta ...se ve totalmente original pero me gustaria saber que motor trae porque en el video no se alcasa a escuchar. Desde Colombia ..
There's a Series 5 4x4 permanently parked in front of a local BBQ as an advertisement .....makes me sad knowing how rare 4x4's were back then... I own a 67 2x4 F-250.

Nothing like the sound of an FE ford through dual exhaust!
I would love to own a truck like this very nice.
