  • Today I show how the 1967 F Series trucks are so different than the rest of the bumpside trucks. I also provide a little history into why I like highboys and 67s so much!

Was emblems, gate, hood crest, steering wheel center....we had more Ford's than Mercs but country is so large and sparsely populated that a town may have a Merc dealer but no Ford dealer back then. Instead of customers having to go to GM or Dodge/Fargo dealer they gave the Merc dealers a truck to sell. Cool history.

    I have 10 bumpsides, 5 of which are F250 4x4 highboys. 6 of the 10 are 1967's. All my 67's have the hazard flasher switch in the upper part of the glove box. Also the flasher assembly, near the steering column is a large box, specific to 1967. Interestingly I have never, ever seen a failed one. 1967 bumpsides are without a doubt, my favorite vehicles on the planet. Nothing else even comes close. I've been driving mine constantly since 1985. Wherever I go people are constantly commenting that they really like my truck, no matter which one I drove that day. Ever since the first couple of miles in one, I knew that I would never again be without one. That was 33 years ago. I've been driving my dream car ever since. Every time I look at them, or drive them, I fall in love all over again. -------every time -------- . Simple, dependable, durable, beautiful. Made in the the U.S.A. and made to last. Thanks for the tour of your bumpsides, ----- reminds me of home. Cheers.

Mine is a 72 dually I got as is from a guy that installed a dual ram PTO dump system on the back, swapped a 67 cab but it has the 68 doors with lock plungers and armrest door levers. The cab is f100 bump and naturally it has a 460 out of a 78 continental… man I love my truck 😂

    I have a 67 F600 flatbed. No rust in the floors, cab corners or cab mounts. She has a personality and spirit that none of my other vehicles will ever have. I love to just sit in her sometimes and have a quiet moment. I revived her from an abandoned farm an now she is more than road worthy and legal. Resurrection Revival is almost a religious experience.

    67 though 69 Ford pickups were the toughest Ford trucks ever produced. especially the ones equipped with the 300ci 4.9L inline Six cylinder engine. they were bullet proof.
    I have a unique Ford Pickup, it's a 1966 F250 4x4 chassis with a 1951 body on it. with a 400 + HP 390 FE engine and a tilt front end. I did all the work on it myself including building the engine. except the dual two and a half inch exhaust system. I also have a 1978 F150 2WD with a 360 FE engine and a four speed. normally 78 models didn't have FE engines in them. but I put it in the truck with some parts from a 1967 F100. I also used the windshield from the 67 and put it in the 78. I also have a 1981 F250 4x4, with a 300ci 4.9L inline six cylinder engine and a four speed. it's a totally bullet proof truck. a person might say I really like Ford Pickups and they would be right. they are best trucks ever made no doubt.

    I learned to drive on my Dads 1972 f100 302 3 on the tree ... Loved that friggin truck, it had 400 thousand on it and the engine had never been cracked opened. He ended up trading it in for a brandy new 1987 ford ranger... Although 67 thru 79 were essentially the same core truck the 67 to 72 were always my favorites and I liked the gauge cluster old school style more so than the square gauges from 73 to 79. If you look Ford just basically flipped the 72 grille upside down and embedded the ford letters into the upper grille and took them off the hood, quite clever actually and was an interesting facelift for the 73 thru 77 models...Love your trio brother, keep em forever!!

    • @DanEBoyd
      @DanEBoyd 2 года назад

      Another great thing about Bumps is that you can bolt an F500 Gauge cluster right in. '73-'79 is the big truck cluster to get, as the gauges look more modern. '73-'79 F500s retained the Bumpside dash. The '67-'72 F500 gauges look almost like they're from the 1950s.
      Bad thing about Bumps is the welded-in dash - that must be why it kicks up on the passenger side, so you can service the heater. I would consider bolting a Bump dash into my Dent, so I could run those big truck gauges. I wonder if the Bump dash is welded into the Dent F500 cabs, or if it bolts in like the ones in the pickups.

    I have a 1970 F100 that I'm just starting to work on. It had been sitting for 16 years in my Grandpas field. It has a nice 390 in it. It had a 2 barrel carb and some old gas in the tank. I put a battery in it, put a couple gallons of fresh gas in it. Primed the carb and cranked it over for about ten seconds, pumped it 4 times then turned it over again and it fired right up 🤯😁 it blew big globs of old carpet fibers out of the exhaust for a couple minutes and smelled like dead 🐀. After about 5 minutes of idling it smoothed out and just purred like a 🐈. The exhaust mounted heat activated choke and everything even works. I could not believe it 🤗🥳
    Come to find out the engine had been bored .060 over so it's actually a 401, it doesn't overheat and runs extremely strong. I did put a performer rpm intake on it and put some gt heads with stronger springs on it. It runs even better now. The part I'm searching for now is a replacement tool box tub for the bedside tool box. Unfortunately I can not find anywhere to buy a new one so I'll be searching junk yards.
    Im very happy to have it. My Grandpa died last Oct so I'll have this to remind me of him. I also got an 49' F1 that was his. It is a project but still cool. The 49' is going to be my hotrod.

      That continued in Australian dent line until Aug 1980 when last of dentsides were put together in the Melborne factory, but if I remember correctly a plastic bottle was the reservoir, however in time that foot bladder would leak and create a wet spot leading to rust in the floor plan.
      Oddly all of the windscreen wiper switches in the unique Australian dash boards ( actually English Ford Cortina car dashes) had a push in function that powered a wire in the engine wiring loom making it easy to use an electric powered washer bottle.

    Regarding the handbrake, Australian right hand drive F series utilised an Orchilin style lever to the left of the steering column under the dash, the knob on the end of this lever when turned clockwise tighted the wire leading to the rear brakes.
    It was easy to use and was long enough to give good leverage for tight hand braking,

    Interesting, the Australian 69s only had the aluminum grilles., The 68 & 67 over here were steel chrome, or steel painted white. Also Aussie 789012, put 19 in front of those numbers, never had black rubber dash tops, just painted head cracking steel. I might be wrong with our 71-72, but 67, 8, 9, steel not rubber.
    Our trucks came from Canada, got the converted, and often, the 300 6 cylinder, was swapped for a 302, 351.

    My grandfather on my mom's side had several Ford F100s in his time.. he traded about every 2 years.. he had a late 64 and waited till the 67 model to come out in late 66.. yes I can remember the differences he had economy heater switch in his base model. truck it was green. not sure what engine was in it I think it was a V8 with a 4 speed on the floor, his first automatic was not till the 1972 model year.. I remember riding with him when he went to check cattle or when he and dad went to farm sales I agree they were a great truck.. also my grandfather also had a few Chevy s too .. he thought was a truck is a truck does not matter what brand just as long it did the job it was intended to do. he would use each one for a different purpose. on the farm.. he just bought em cheap as he could. his first air conditioned pickup was not till the 1977 Ford F150 Ranger.

      I prefer the Dent-era F600 gauges themselves though. They have that Cougar XR7 look to them, whereas the Bump-era ones look way more old-timey. I want the tach and vacuum gauges too! (Even though the big-truck tachs are cable driven, or need to be adapted somehow.)
      The F600 bezel looks like aftermarket gauges would work well with it too.

    I noticed someone put the visor hook upside down on the newer one. I did not see if you did mention it but teh highboy frame is narrower so teh bed mounts and the cab , bumpers and core support mounting holes are all closer together on teh high boys . I learned that after I had a bed all painted and ready to install and nothing lined up. I ended up ;making brackets to put teh holes inside teh frame an inch or so inside the frame times 8 holes . we live and learn. I have a 2x4 power steeering box on my 72 high boy . Took a lot of labor but I got it on and working . It has decent road feel but all in all it aint bad at all. The pitman arm swings between teh frame and the leaf spring and I had to trim off some of teh lower left side of teh radiator mounting strap, I drilled a hole up 3 or 4 inches higher and it works fine. Never wrecked , zero rust , 390 cam headers edelbrock, 12" clutch 4 speed 100 gallons of gas , 6 spare tires pto winch , electric/ hydrolic dump bed , engine hoist factory air and heater camo inside and out , am fm cb radio and the list goes on .

      Very Cool! The rear view mirror on the 68-72 are correct. The hook is facing the opposite direction as the 67. And as for the frames I think you are referring to a 73-77 truck? the highboy frames are 34'' yes but the 2wd frames from 67-72 are 34'' as well and the body bolt right up with exception to the rear cab mounts. They are out board on the 2wd trucks. After 73 the 2wd truck frames changed to 37'' and guys who body swap a 73-77 have to modify the bed mounts. cheers!

    At one point in the mid 2000s I had accumulated 16 Highboys 67-72. All were bought from the Texas and the west coast, they all needed mechanical work, some ran, others didn't but they were mostly rust free. I stored them all at a friend's property where he had an old muscle car salvage yard. He ended up very ill with a heart condition. While he was going through his medical treatment, his wife called the auto crusher to clean up the property, making money towards his medical bills. All my Highboys were crushed, I have been devasted for years. I still have never been able to recoup the lost iron.

    The Gauge bezel/cluster of the F600 are they easy to find over in the US , Parts for highboys are hard enough to find in OZ let alone for a 67. Would you know where to get one or if they make replica's. Asking for a friend LOL

    I had a '67 F100 Camper Special and had accumulated tons of stuff for it, including BRAND NEW hood emblems, CS emblems, etc. I bought it to restore, and did so much work on it to bring it back to life, until I was forced to use it as a daily driver for 3 years. In so many ways the '67 was a "one year" truck compared to the other bumps. I've since sold it all.. the truck just had too much cancer to save (mostly around the roof drip rail) and I had too many kids to hang on to it for daily use. 😥

    taught me something here. My 67 heater has the defroster on/off label, but no rod in it. I always thought the trim around the heater controls looked newer, and there's an extra factory hole on the right side of the steering wheel. Previous owners must have done away with the economy controls, but when I am restoring I I will have to put it back in and delete the new ones he installed. Only thing that I noticed that you missed was the location of the hole for 3 point seatbelts. The location of the factory hole changed, but I do not remember specifically what year it changed.

    • @MattKubik1791
      @MattKubik1791  3 года назад +1

      You are correct. It did change. But that was changed in 1970. So 68-69 also have the different location so it isn’t a 67 specific difference.
