- Something new, yet something quite old. I've had a special place in my automotive heart for "OBS" (Old Body Style) 1980 through 1996 Ford pickups since I was a youngster. I finally managed to scratch that itch via a purchase from northern Idaho. The truck only has 92,600 miles on it. Looking forward to having some fun with this one! Thanks as always for watching. And a huge thanks to Taylor at Specialty Cars & Classics in Hayden, Idaho! Here is his website: www.specialtycarscda.com/cars...

I've had a lot of people say the 4x4 badge on the front end is factory, but from every source I've found, that was a thing on the prior generation ("Bricknose") and not a feature on my later truck generation. I referenced a few brochures as well as a couple dozen BaT auctions for similar trucks. Let me know if you have any expertise on it!
You are correct. That was a bricknose detail and the 92’+ didn’t have anything in the front other than the grille Ford logo.
When i was 13, my 3 dream vehicles were a 1993 Ford Ranger Spash ext cab, a 1993 Geo Teacker Convertible, and a 1991 Honda CRX Si.
Great combo!
I was so confused when i saw a Ford pickup on today's post. Then i saw it was episode two, so i had to come back and find this video.
Let's see what kind of love you sprinkle on this.
Haha, thanks, will do!
I can smell the interior from here.
Haha, scent included at no extra charge.
I'm jealous of the way that door closes so nicely, I need to fine tune mine soon.
The door latch feel / sound is one of my fave things about this truck
Such a beaut! Can’t get over how clean that old girl is and love the rarity. We’ll have to plan an OBS drive sometime this spring!
Looking forward to it!
Welcome to the Ford family. Cool old truck. Now you can tow your Acuras around when they need it.
Exactly! Thanks!
This truck is the absolute best
Thank you, I’m loving it
I love these OBS Ford trucks as well. This is back when trucks were trucks! The two tone exterior colour schemes were really cool, wish they still did that. My grandpa had a '92, I don't know the actual colour names but lets just say it was dark brown over old man beige, with retirement home toffee as the interior colour.
Haha, you're making me crave candy.
Looks absolutely mint. Congrats on your purchase. Sweet.
Thank you!
First a Lexus now a Ford. What the heck is going on haha jokes... congrats on this beauty! Nice OBS find. This truck has been loved its whole life, you can tell and I'm sure that will continue. Nice to see its all original. Happy belated Bday!
Hey thanks!! I know, I need to get back to my Acura buying habits after this.
Love it!!! Reminds me of my youth also…. Looks to me in great condition too..
Right on!
Congrats on the truck! The mileage is unbelievable!
Thank you Emir!
Beautiful truck. I think you will enjoy having a truck when you want to switch things up. Bonus when you need to haul a few things or pull something behind it.
Exactly, thanks!
That two tone 😍😍 love it!
Very 90s for sure
I am not a pickup truck person at all, but that is a good looking one! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
As a Floridian that moved back to Colorado I would love to visit Az eventually with enough money make it a second home
I’ve been in AZ 19 years and still love it
It's super clean for the age and mileage of the truck, and you'll have that list completed and it looking sharp with relative ease. Welcome to the Ford family, Tyson!
Hey thanks Adam!
Nothing like early models truck they don’t make them like that anymore 💯👍👌🤙✊😍
Agreed
My co-worker would drool over this truck it’s his favorite!! Hmmm if you do another Ford do a Foxbody lol
Haha, I do enjoy the Fox Body Mustangs.
I really like the interiors also. I miss the OG Blue/Red interiors.
Definitely! Good colors back in those days.
Awesome acquisition Tyson! You chose a sweet color combination and body - extended cab, long bed - just get ready for some 5/7 point turns with that turning radius! I'm going on a limb and estimating 12-14 mpg.
Haha that’s a generous estimate. Turning radius is def a struggle…
Oh and the 460 v8! Impressive! I think the 5.8 was the base engine. Correct me if I’m wrong. Your gas budget just went way up!
That's for sure. She's thirsty!
My older brother bought one of those extra cab long bed 4x4's every couple years. My favorite was an all black one. It reminded me of Robert Conrad from the "Wild Wild West" television series. Never got tired of looking at that truck!
It’s definitely a design that has aged well!
I'm definitely farthest from being a Ford guy but I have to say this one was revolutionary. They were built like tanks and very simple.
Agreed! Thanks!!
Beautiful big boy!
Thanks!!
In 2008 I bought a single cab F-250 stock gray color, bench cloth seat, no power windows in excellent condition with about 110,000 miles. I bought it for as backup to my regular work truck in my business. It came with a snow plow. Paid $5,600.
Within a few years the rear wheel wells eroded due to N.E. rust and had to replace both gas tanks, sending units, ect... I had the body work done to fix all rust, rebuilt the existing transmission, intake manifold gaskets, ......I had it for 16 years and just let it go.
I would've loved to restore and enjoy as I step into retirement but just don't have the room. Good solid truck. Enjoy yours Tyson. You're the right age to enjoy it and without the children you can dedicate your time and resources to make/keep it right.
That’s the plan! Luckily this one doesn’t appear to have some corroded too badly. I have some fun stuff in store for it.
The ford chime 😊
Haha yep. Classic
Sweet rig Tyson!
Thanks man!
Very good Kars ❤
Yes!
Waaaiiit a minute here ! Lol. I love these old trucks! Nice find!
Haha, def something different for me.
The domestics have always made great trucks. Wished I could say the same for all the cars.
Haha prob true!
Beautiful new purchase Tyson! Chrome 4x4 badge on the front of the truck is original correct badging. If it was 2wd it would have an E.F.I. badge.
Good to know! I guess I was curious why the Marti Report said "delete 4x4 decal" at the bottom. I need to find out what that was referring to. Also I looked at a bunch of 1994 F-250 4x4s on Bring a Trailer just now, and I don't see badges there on any that I've looked at so far.
Some people remove badging to clean up a vehicle visually if they don’t like it. Vehicles get “over badged” all the time by OEMs to push marketing strategies. Even Honda has been guilty of this…. LOL!!
That is the cleanest old F250 ive seen in 20 years. If I’m not mistaken, the 4x4 under the headlight could have been factory as Ive seen many with that decal. Could be wrong. Great acquisition!
Thanks! Going to have some fun with this one!
I agree with the 4x4 badge on the front of the truck. Pretty sure that's a factory badge and came on the truck when new. Looks to be in amazing condition for a 30+ year old truck. I live in Eastern Washington and thankful we don't salt the roads in the winter! Surface rust is way easier to deal with. Can't wait to see what's next.
The thing you have that many don’t is the patience to wait to find the perfect one. A lot of people would rush to get something but you waited and researched, which is a great skill to have.
I also agree- I wish you could do that search with Acuras or just other makes in general.
Agreed!
nice truck. I like a 90s Ranger if I ever buy a truck.
Good choice!
I like the two tone. This was made back in the day when you could get blue interior. Everybody needs a truck. Nice buy Tyson! I like it!
Haha def a very 90s color combo
She's a beaut! My parents never had one, but like you I grew up around these things.. they were everywhere. I bought a '94 Oxford White 4x4 Supercab identical to the one you showed your family had growing up a little over a year ago and I love driving it, but more importantly looking at. IMO 9th gen F-series are some of the best looking pickups ever built. I'd recommend having your Alcoa wheels stripped and polished, it really set these trucks off.
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
That's amazing the original radio is still in it and still working, they seldom do.
Haha yep. I haven't tried a cassette yet, though.
Nice and I here I am just got lucky and bought a 1 owner 53,000 mile 1997 Honda Accord SE 2-door. I need a truck myself.
Wow that's a good score! Congrats!
One of the amazing things is no noticeable cracks in the dash. Almost all of those dashes here in the southeast have been destroyed by the sun!
Definitely, going to try and keep the interior preserved.
Awesome purchase Tyson. Love it. Love the colour. 👍 That data dump is so cool to have. Fascinating. Nice to see it come off the truck.
Absolutely, thanks Reid
No one drives bad ass v8 trucks for the mpg. Enjoy it!!
Haha, exactly!
That's a great body style. The paint and interior look great. Really nice find. Love the color!
Awesome! Looks mint and brings back 90s vibes.
Haha definitely
You and I got the same taste in vehicles! I love the late 80's/early 90's F-series pick-ups and Honda/Acuras. When my 2008 F-150 FX4 daily driver finally dies, I'm going on Bring a Trailer and getting a similar vintage truck as yours with 4x4 and a manual transmission.
I debated about getting a manual, but most of my other cars have sticks and this just seemed like it would make a nice cruiser / hauler.
Congrats! I get it - If I could find my first car, 1981 3.8L Buick Century wagon, I'd DEFINITELY make room for it. I see a V8 version very very rarely and I'm convinced the V6s are completely extinct.
Definitely can't think of the last time I've seen one of those, if ever!
🔥🔥
Thanks!!!
I fully would have driven this down from eastern WA/northern ID for you, for a plane ticket home. 😂 My labor is way cheaper. Also, it’s Corwin Ford now here in Spokane. 🕺🏼
Awesome, I will have to hit up Corwin for a license plate frame or something.
I certainly could grab you one. 👍🏻
wow that’s nice
Thank you!
My dad was a Ford F150 enthusiast. He once rode around in a Pinto LOL!
Haha, gotta love the Pinto.
Lovely colour
Thanks!
@@TysonHugie Blue oval FTW
Now that’s a truck!!
Thanks!
Free spider!
Exactly!
So jealous
Thank you!
Ah, man, this is awesome! Nothing like late 80/early 90’s blue-on-blue interior colors! 😀
The paint and body are in incredible condition for the age and mileage. Was it re-sprayed, or is that factory original paint?
Some areas have been repainted.
Hey that’s not an Acura! Beautiful truck
Thanks Brandon!
Man, what a beauty! The previous owner took meticulous care of it. Love the blue two-tone! Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it? I've seen these listed for sale with low miles in the $25-30K realm. They definitely hold their value, especially V8s and 4x4s.
Yes this was $22k
@@TysonHugieIt's worth it! This truck will far outlast any new one on sale today! Plus, this one has a lot more character!
Never would see the day you would work on something thats not a acura.
Haha, pretty surprising.
Great looking truck, congrats! For a 30 year old and 93K miles truck, it looks really clean-love the blue color scheme. The stance with the wheels and height looks really good. I agree that some of the JC Whitney paraphernalia needs to be removed, LOL. Where did you find it (I know it’s from Idaho, but FBM or BaT)? Would like to hear that part of the story, perhaps in a future video. Cheers!
Haha, gotta love JC Whitney. Yeah I'll get into more backstory in a future vid for sure. I have pieced together the truck's ownership history all the way back to 1995. There was one mysterious original owner who kept it for only a year and traded it to a Dodge dealership!
Thanks and sounds good-enjoy! I forgot to mention the Marti report was really interesting to see.
Congrats man! Love that color. You didn’t want a diesel though?
No, for a few reasons. None of dad's were diesels. This thing will do the trick! But that is the #1 comment I have gotten when out and about in the truck. Everyone prefers the Power Stroke.
Cool, I get it. Back in the early 90s when I was a kid my next door neighbors had a F350 quad cab diesel. Man I remember that thing was awesome.
Tyson, may I ask what transport company do you use?
Yes absolutely. Lately I have been using Montway.
It is going to take some getting used to seeing you driving a non-Acura vehicle, and an automatic at that.
Seriously! Quite the change.
I think that 4x4 brand on the front is factory. I think…
I checked a few resources, including about 20 trucks from 1994 just like this on Bring a Trailer. None of them had it. I think it's from the prior generation.
