    Hi, I lived in Vermont for 20 years. Its an incredibly beautiful state. My bro in law had a '60 f 100. He let me drive it cause he had a brand new f 250 4 wheel drive. I detailed his '60 and cleaned it top to bottom. He finally relented and sold UT to me.not course in Vermont I never drive her from October till April, but I lived the truck much more tan my winter driver, A Jeep A- 20 all wheel drive,as I lived in mountains and worked 45 miles south in Essex junction and needed 4wheel drive to make the daily trek. But my heart was always with my bro in laws '60 F-100.

    This is such a good video👍👍. I too have a fridge, a long wheel base custom cab, which needs a little TLC to get her up and running, and she will be one day soon. This vid gives me the reason to get her on the road sooner, rather than later. Thank you😇😇

    I can't thank you enough for this video. I can so relate. I just found and purchases a 1960 Ford F100. I'm so enthralled with it. It has such a purest approach to every function. It didn't have locks in the doors, and when I figured out how easy it was and simple to install them, I became so much more impressed with all the simplistic functionality. I can't wait to go through the rest of the truck and the simplistic rides to follow. I just can't see a reason to spend 70K on new plastic and computers.

    Looks like a fine Ford truck. Add aftermarket A/C under the dash and you would have a cool "Fridge" to drive in the sweltering heat. Stick a 302 Boss under the hood and get loads of power. 3 on the tree was standard issue in that day. Ford did it!

    Restored my 59' for $6,500. Back in the 90's drove it for 21 years, hauling wood, garbage, daily driver, only one clutch because I never used it to shift.

    The first new vehicle my father purchased was a 1958 Ford F250 with a Custom Cab. Baby blue/white two tone paint job, a 292 v8 and 4 speed (w/compound low) on the floor. It was not only our farm truck but also our “family car” until 1964. I learned to drive (around our farmstead) in that truck. I loved that truck! My father, that truck, and the family farm have been gone since the mid-80’s. Thanks for the memories!

      Close, it’s a 223-6. Not super powerful, but then you don’t want to go too fast with the 1960 steering and suspension. Thank you!

    memories of my dad's 60 F100 panel truck, it was dark green with grille, bumpers and rims painted creamy white. A 6 cylinder with 3 on the tree and hydraulic clutch. The back seat was his old wooden tool box in back, with handles to hold on during turns. He let me drive it on a country road much like the one here. I wish I could remember driving it better but at the time I never imagined how cars would change. He bought it used in the mid 60s for $250. I watched him open the brown envelope and count out the bills to the car dealer. It was his daily driver for 10 years. It never left him stranded, always started every morning no matter how bitter cold. Finally the old girl succumbed to the salt on New Jersey roads.

      There’s something about a panel truck version of this. I really love them and wish there were more of them around. Thank you.

    Hello Bobby. Since my younger years, I was always impressed by these pickup trucks. Series like Lassie or Flipper where the DAD always drives a pickup truck. A few years ago in 2015 I bought MY Ford F100 1959 in total black. This car is such special. When I started it for my first run ... I thought I'm not strong enough for that car. But I worked a lot on the stering wheel precision and on the completly used breaks. Each year we restore a part of the game and each year, when I start for the first run of the year, it waves me a smile on my face in less than 100m. People salute when I pass by .... kids love my ooga horn. Now I'm a grandpa and my little Louis 2,5 year love this car too as his father does. 3 crazy man in a deep black car riding just for fun. But tell me ... I never heard about this fridge thing .... Regards from Belgium upper east side

      I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t get at least 3 waves and thumbs up from total strangers. Imagine that! It’s a great way to meet nice people who share your love.

    Beautiful fridge, and a great video overall. Well done! My 17 year old son just bought his first vehicle. It's a 1960 Ford, F-250, 4wd with a factory flatbed. It's got a few rust holes in the usual places, but it's solid, starts, runs, drives etc. Got it cheap from an old farmer in the area. My son is the second owner and it's been sitting since the late 90's. We just started working on it today, then I found this video. Thank you for this video, it reassured me that we're doing the right thing with his truck. I'm looking forward to more of your videos

    • @bobbystravels1588
      @bobbystravels1588 10 месяцев назад

      My best of luck to you both. Fixing the Fridge is a fun thing to share, and a great classroom, not just on mechanics (nothing too complicated), but on needing only the basics to be happy.

    • @bobbystravels1588
      @bobbystravels1588 Год назад

      I agree. Also the 61-63 model. Any truck from the 60s is about perfect. They are big and complicated nowadays...and pricy. Basic is as good as a truck needs to be...in my book.

    amazing looking truck! ive got a 1960 m100 with the 292 that I'm fixing up after sitting in the bush for 40 years, cant wait to get it going again. these 1960 ford pickups are beautiful trucks, perfect balance between looks and utility
