Too bad you didn't make a video of pressure washing the crust off the truck. They seem to do very well on YT. But congrats on getting it running. Sounds pretty healthy.
I've had probably 10 of the 67-72 Ford's VERY good old (now) trucks, all the doors worked like yours, all ran great most had exhaust leaks, that's a great truck!!!
Comparing crooked Killary Kilinton videos and crooked politico videos to these videos. I prefer to watch these videos.... Political videos deplete my brain cells/
what a great truck..i had a 72 f100 4x4 with a 360 and new process 435 tranny ..had it for 14 long and reliable years....i wish i could find something just like this...again what a great truck
I had a '72 XLT Ranger back in the early 1980's . The 390 was a beast but was always easy to start even at -30F. The biggest problem with them was the front cab mount boxes would rust and the cab would drop down and bind the lower steering column bearing causing it to steer hard.
Who doesn't Love classic Ford Trucks. I am so happy to see her revived. Call a Locksmith to have the original key made. Motor sounds smooth and sweet. Good Job !!! My fellow Carguy.
That’s just like my 72 Ranger XLT except the tool box… Mines like a goldish brown color with the old school slot wheels…💪🏼😁 Mine was an original 302 truck with the 3 on the tree. The 302 starts better than most vehicles nowadays. I bet it doesn’t turn over a half a revolution before it starts…😂 Somebody tried to rig up the 3 speed on the column with a floor shifter…🤦🏻 I had originally planned on putting a fuel injected 351w and a 5 speed in it… But idk man, after 51 years it would almost be a shame to mess up an all original truck. Thank you so much for saving these old trucks… People just don’t have the patience or the know how to get them running anymore. I’ve wanted an old Ford truck like that since I was a teenager and I’m about to turn 40 next month. It’s like a dream come true for me…😁
This reminds me of the one garage330 video I followed him and watched all the video he made on the truck.then he put an L.S motor in it and my interest was lost. I know it's his truck he can do what he wants with it but I think it's better to Keep it ford..
Ls produce cheap power on a budget and they are solid motors. Ford purist hate it. LS is the new 350 from the old days. Everyone running it and the upgrades are a dime a dozen .
Right, and it turned out to be such a nice truck. The person I sold it to has taken care of it, and it is looking great. Thanks for watching one of the oldies.
Fantastic score! Love old Ford Pickups. I once owned a ‘70 F250 Camper special with west coast mirrors. Was a wonderful running and driving truck! Reliable and powerful 390 with an RV cam.
I liked the excitement that showed on you when the truck started. That was a blast of adrenaline. Not sure but during those years with Ford they might have had the twin V suspension.
That paint would probably look pretty decent once it is buffed out. It runs like it never sat. That is the best running first start i have ever heard. That thing wants to go.
Yep, she’s a special one at that… and it’s a V8 to boot!I watching out for the V8’s as the I6’s are a turn complete off, unless it’s one of the Big 6’s like in a commercial truck of sorts…and you m do terrific work and videos.
Love the bumpside ford ive actually started to buy both a bumpside 72 f100 longbed and a 72 f250 longbed both were fe 360 trucks but I ended up buying or trading around to a gm square body k20 both times lol
Would love to see this truck cleaned up maybe a lil wax some new wheels my dad had a 75 model in 79 she was a brute thanks sir for bringing back a memory
You did amazing well & you will never be sorry you rescued it. I have an 1988 High Boy I rescued and have almost 5K in it at the moment & she is still parked all in pieces. I have to replace a door bottom on it and JFY resto guys the later model trucks have the louvers in the bottom of the door.... LMC does not sell that panel not at all. That is one of the major hold ups getting her back together I had to retro the doors back together to save her original doors. The pass side came out alright looks really amazing. But it took forever. One coat fiberglass and it took about 6 coats of mud & glazing. It is a process.
Easy and cheap to buy a kit from LMC truck to just replace the ignition and door keys lock and all. 390 is a great motor. I've had a few, converted 360s into them, stroked them out, and I've had them in cars, trucks and a grain truck got one out of a station wagon. It's been used to death for 15 years. Best simple mod is a cap and rotor update to 2 piece ford cap, and a pertronix ignition system
my first pu was this color ranger only a 71 -had 3 in tree 302 ran great but with only 41k it was 14 years old and nothing was left of the body ,bed literally slid off one day lol
My first car was a pick up Truck almost like this one it was a F100 with a 360 ci it was a beauty two tone brownish burgundy on top and copper on bottom Everywhere I went people always told how gd looking it was wished I still had it.
I have a 72 350 that has a dump bed on it with the 300 cubic inch inline 6. It doesn’t run and has been parked for over 20 years. Me and my dad are working on getting it home to fix it and make the truck pretty again. Yesterday, me and my grandpa put a battery in it and only some of the lights worked. It’s a super cool truck and I can’t wait to have it running.
I bought a 77 new in 77 for $4,200 (sticker $5,500) only hated it at the gas pumps. Got $2,000 for trade in on a 4 cylinder in 86. Accidently met the new owner at a Hardee's was shocked he payed $4,000 for a ten year old truck with 50,000 miles on it.
At Justin McClanahan..My 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 that i bought 2 years ago this past May sat for many years it had 22997 original miles on the clock when i drove her home, and had that same bed liner and tail gate also, and The 1st. thing that i did was to get them out of there and see the actual bed floor,and wasn't very bad.
@@tonyfriend7413 yeah don't know why guys get the cheap plastic bed liners for bcause water gets under them & sometimes rusts out the floor of the bed,if they want a bed liner they should get the spray on kind like the rhino spray on bed liner or just do with out
Had a 72 4 by 4 360 4 speed probably one of the best trucks I've owned ! 😁👍🏻
Too bad you didn't make a video of pressure washing the crust off the truck. They seem to do very well on YT. But congrats on getting it running. Sounds pretty healthy.
Actually cleaned it with soap and water. Once the gunk softened up, it came off fairly easy.
As a 16 year old kid I loved the old 390 / 429 Ford's, super easy to fix, 68 Country Squire, 71 Marquis, gunboats of choice !!
Right on.
Ford stuff! I own a 1973 super camper special...and enjoying every minute of restoring it...
I've had probably 10 of the 67-72 Ford's VERY good old (now) trucks, all the doors worked like yours, all ran great most had exhaust leaks, that's a great truck!!!
Amazing how that started up so easy. Nice find! Love the old ford trucks. Big V8 is a plus. Hope to see more videos.

Man, I had a 1974 XLT Ranger with a 390 and dual Cherry bomb glass packs, what a blast !
Beautiful truck congrats
Good looking truck..has potential

At Vet Kid. Even my 1963 and 1964 F100s had that same problem with those cab mounts. Very little Clutch peddle and the steering also!
Same problem my '78 F150... and firewall lip hitting air cleaner...
It’s an awesome find.
Great job..Great Find .GOOD OLD FORDS NEVER DIE..WHAT A SOLID TRUCK....TILL NEXT TIME..
Thanks John!

Those old Ford trucks look great with slot wheels!
@@whattherust Yes sir, I think the are 12”s in the back and 10” on the front too.
Really easy start. That's a great rig!

I hear that. No LS swap to be done here. The 390 is staying right where it is.
I was following him myself, but no longer do until he did that
Yep, same here. I couldn't believe he built that sweet 390 and then turned around and decided to LS swap it. Unbelievable.
@@TheKeymaster316 I don't get people infatuation with L.S Motors .
Ls produce cheap power on a budget and they are solid motors. Ford purist hate it. LS is the new 350 from the old days. Everyone running it and the upgrades are a dime a dozen .
Your a hell of a wrench man! Good work
Thanks! I have been doing it since I was 14.
that is absolutely amazing.... shocked it still ran.
Right, and it turned out to be such a nice truck. The person I sold it to has taken care of it, and it is looking great. Thanks for watching one of the oldies.
Great find, I'd kill for one like that.
Nice job!
Nice truck man . I'm definitely jealous sir
A friend of mine had this generation Ford, it was teal with off white accents and a black interior, really cool truck.
Awesome work as always..
Thanks Dominic. The 1972s are one of my favorites.
SCORE! What a beautiful old truck!
Thanks. This was a good one for sure.
Fantastic score! Love old Ford Pickups. I once owned a ‘70 F250 Camper special with west coast mirrors. Was a wonderful running and driving truck! Reliable and powerful 390 with an RV cam.
Yes, those are great trucks. Thanks gor watching!
We found the one you were talking about !❤❤❤
nice truck man
Gorgeous truck ❤
It was a good one. I took some risks in buying it, but it turned out to be worth it.
I liked the excitement that showed on you when the truck started. That was a blast of adrenaline. Not sure but during those years with Ford they might have had the twin V suspension.
I swear it is like a requirement for every field truck to have a milkbone box in it 😂
That paint would probably look pretty decent once it is buffed out. It runs like it never sat. That is the best running first start i have ever heard. That thing wants to go.
You just earned a sub
Very lucky find
Sounds pretty good. Would like to see a clean up video,and motor tuned up! Those old trucks really run well.
I have some videos for those. This truck came out very nice.
i like those wheels
You SCORED on this find! Great find.
Right, I certainly did. It turned out to be a great truck.
Man truck is really beautiful, beautiful colour , Ranger XLT are highly desirable, good lucky man I am glad you’ve saved her ! South Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks!
Yep, she’s a special one at that… and it’s a V8 to boot!I watching out for the V8’s as the I6’s are a turn complete off, unless it’s one of the Big 6’s like in a commercial truck of sorts…and you m do terrific work and videos.

Gotta love the 390.....Bullet Proof.

Excelente ayasgo que bueno que la pudo obtener muchas felicidades
Gracias!
I drove a 70 F100 Short Bed Custom to High School in the late 70's 3 on the Tree 302 with and under dash a/c
Nice
Nice!
It runs like it has never sat. very nice
I love them old ford's I had a 72 camper special with a 390 engine hated to let it go I am looking for a norther one hard to find
Right, the Camper Specials are hard to find. I find lots of standard duty older F100s around though.
That's cool
Ford produced those 5th generation F-series pickups from '67 through '72 & if I'm not mistakin I believe '70 was the first year for the XLT package.
Excelente ayasgo...la troca de mis sueños
Gracias!
looks like you got a good deal there
That is a great find. How much?
WOW lucky guy.God bless.Great truck although I'm a chevy guy.
At Terry Rideout! Chevy and Dodge guy here!
Chevys break down to everything breaks down
Ford never dies. Better then the movie Christine.
Need to get the plastic bed liner out to check out the floor of the bed

@@justinmcclanahan4745 A Spray in kind! But maybe they weren't made yet then.
@@tonyfriend7413 true,I don't think that the rhino spray until the 90's or early 2000's
Can you make a video on how to bypass the solenoid, and jump start the truck with a key?
Sure, I will add it to a future video.
New to your channel like it so far great find.
How much are you going to ask for it? Thanks
Once I get it driveable I'll figure out the price. I want it to go to a good home, which is more important than price to me.
Because they were well built back then!😁🤟
Check the coolaant now
I own a 68 Ford F 250 she still runs like a top
How much are you gonna ask for it I got a nice golfcart I would trade you . My dad had one the same as that . Brings back memories
Suggestion, next time pour the mystery oil down the carb n u won't have to remove the plugs until u r ready to flush the mystery oil out.
Boa tarde congrats 1972 Chevy Pu vai sim e não olhos amén bom
How much are you asking for the truck? I’m interested as it sits.
Que beleza de caminhonete.
Love the old Ford! How’d you solve the broken plug issue? Btw, love the Bullitt poster!
I swapped in new plugs. The old ones came out, but my plug socket is worn out thus it broke them.
@@whattherust Very good. I’m glad you didn’t have to drill them out.
@@SlyDellian - That's just a problem with the newer 3 valve engines...
How is the twin I beam?😀
Yup thats a ford alright!
Hey that’s similar to my F100
So is the truck sold. Gone by now. I’m assuming yes would love to have that truck
Never mind saw the video where you were selling it
Check the ricking oil pressure!
Has this truck sold? If not I’m interested into buying it
It a run them was some of the best trucks that the ever made
Hey my Dad has a 1972 Ford Ranger XLT WITH THE 390 MOTOR AND HIS CAME WITH AC FROM THE DEALERSHIP HIS ONLY OWNER
I assume you checked the oil before starting?
Definitely.
