    That, my friends, is the very definition of a work truck. Reliable, simple, easy to work on and rugged. And, pre-truckified!

    My boss used to have one of these. He gave it to his son. Man what a truck...his was a 4 speed manual on the floor. Very fast truck. Love seeing older Ford pickups still running/driving like that, great vid!

  • @lcfanyc
    @lcfanyc 14 лет назад +1

    That`s my favorite Ford Pickup model. In fact, it is the only one. Distinctive American style, from a time Detroit produced all sorts of interesting designs, admired all over the world, instead of today`s mostly bland designs that barely catch up with the competition. I`ll buy a couple and have them restored some day. Great video!

  • @WizardMower
    @WizardMower Год назад +1

    I’m in love with this truck, it’s actually fairly loaded with AC, automatic transmission, and dash vents.. since a portion of these older bullnose ford’s did not have dash vents, only defrost.
    I want one of these 100’s with the super rare 3 speed column mounted manual. Very hard to find sadly.

  • @bbishoppcm
    @bbishoppcm 14 лет назад +1

    Sounds like the engine is knocking a bit, but that body is PHENOMINAL! You'll NEVER find one in that condition up here! My grandfather had a 1983 F150 that completely rotted out 20 years ago.

    That's a rather loaded F-100. My F-150 (a 1982) has non of that lol. Just a radio a heater and power steering/brakes. And the 300 I6 w/ a glass pack. Sounds awesome at an idle. I daily drive mine and got 21.5mpg on the Hwy w/a 3-speed manual on the floor w/OD. Not bad for a 30+ year old truck.

    I have one and its a bucket of rust but i love it. just got done having engine rebuilt and sitting here now waiting on a new head and she should be running great. Their is just something about this particular model that sets it apart from most. I can hardly wait until its paint stage.. I honestly like the regular bed as opposed to the side panel style.

  • @4x41986ranger
    @4x41986ranger 10 лет назад +30

    is it just me, or does it sound as though the truck is running like a diesel, at first I thought it was background sound's from another vehicle, but it definitely is coming from that f100....

    • @Samspianopage
      @Samspianopage 10 лет назад +3

      That's what I thought aswell, it does sound like a diesel aswell.
      Hey it could be the 6.9 diesel, or the 3.3 perkins i4 diesel as the F-100 did use that, though apparently only for the ones built in Argentina, My guess is that is not a gasoline engine but a diesel, even if it was running rough a gas engine doesn't sound as clattery as that, so I'd say it's the 6.9 V8 Diesel, sounds like it anyway.

    • @nickscustoms269
      @nickscustoms269 10 лет назад +7

      Samthebam4044 This is not a a 6.9. Probably just a very rough running gas engine.

  • @mojoe430
    @mojoe430 12 лет назад

    I feel what your saying. I have one now and its been alot of work already and i'm just getting the engine in great shape thus far. This particular year f-100 has the distinction of being the last year ford put the letter on the hood. After that they went to the now ford logo inside the front grill.This is just a great truck.. When you sit in it your at a very comfortable height and it just feels AMERICAN.

    Similar to my '82 F-100 V6-232, 3spd standard on column, brown in/out !
    That has been posted for sale.
    I can relate to the drivers side tears on the seat. Although I only used red Tyvek tape as a temp' fix, till it released so I peeked it off leaving some 'red stain', and just cover it with a 'mexican' blanket. Previously wore out the 'western blanket' style of bench seat cover that the previous owner had 'dressed' the seat with. That is when I found the 3 tears' in the vinyl seat.

    @timbuktug3321 3 года назад

    A buddy of mine had an old 1980 Ford Econoline Van in that same brown exterior color like this F100 V8 pickup truck. Only difference was the engine was a V6. the van honestly looked like a death trap but it was his work van he daily drove it for contracting use. Also a mechanic so the engine was in great shape for its age.

  • @Matto2t
    @Matto2t 13 лет назад

    @rutter1ify
    Hello from the United States,
    The pedal on the far left is the emergency brake. It is not a clutch pedal; the driver uses this pedal for certain instances whenever the vehicle is being parked on a hill or incline. Therefore, when this emergency brake is engaged, it prevents the vehicle from moving forward or backward while on a hill or incline. Some other vehicles have a pull lever type of emergency brake instead of a pedal. Hope this info helps! ;)
    -Matt

  • @herofrombelow

    we used to have an 82 f100, it was the base of all base models, 300 straight six, 4 speed manual, no air, but it was a good truck. but unfortunately due to living in the rust belt up north when we got rid of it it was pretty much the Flintstones mobile with no floors lol.
