Man i love the 70's model fords i got a 79 f150 custom that my grandpa bought in 1981 and im currently redoing it back to the way it was when get bought it
Kent your killing me with these barn finds!! That 78 is unbelievable shape for its age. Keep ‘‘em coming man!!
Lol its a sickness, I’m running out of places to hide them
That's the type truck you just clean up, look things over, change fluids and then drive it. Just beautiful, these gems are hard to find.
Yes they are! Thanks for watching
Man, you just never stop smiling!! I really like that your son wants to go with you. Great truck, can't wait to see what you do with it.
Thanks for watching Jeff! I have several videos on this truck
I have a long time friend that bought the twin to that pickup in 1978. He still has that pickup to day.
I wanted to add a pic but wasn't able.
Awesome find, bet your helper would love this on his 16 th birthday
He thinks that’s a good idea lol
Absolutely one of the cleanest Fords I have ever seen in a long time. I always loved the 78 and 79's. I love the color blue that's on the truck itself. I don't mind short beds but I prefer a long bed that's just me. Not to mention this truck is a 4x4. Absolutely a true survivor can't wait to see future videos on this old girl!!!
Thank you! I am still amazed at the condition of the truck. There will be another video on the truck next Wednesday!
That's one awesome looking old truck.
@@SpeedBumpGarage I had a black 78 ford 4x4 long bed I got from my dad. Loved that truck.
@@SpeedBumpGarage Kent at the beginning of your video when you were standing at the front of the truck with the green bugshield you took me back to 1978 when i was 14 and my parents just bought their new green and white tu tone 78 f f150 we had that same bug shield it came folded in a box new. Fast forward to 1985 i was now 21 and took it to our local mall came out an hour later to find it stolen. Was so hard making that call to my dad that his truck he worked so hard for was gone and i felt so responsible. Dad reassured me things would be ok. The truck was never found and a month later insurance gave dad a check and together we bought a brand new 1985 f150. 2 years later my dad passed but i kept the truck another 6 years until my first child was born and i traded it in on a 1993 supercab because we needed the room. Alot of memories thanks to your video!!
@@iamkazie9401 I think green and white is my favorite paint scheme for 1978! That’s too bad it got away, I’m glad I could bring back some old memories.
I Love that model of truck. Beautiful truck.
Beautiful old truck.. 45 years and still kickin
As a truck guy myself...I do have a true appreciation for the 73-79 Ford Trucks. What a score of a find with this beautiful low miler Lariet. I'm extremely jealous. I'm glad that you appreciate it!! 😎
Absolutely beautiful truck 77 78 and 79 are the best trucks ford made in my opinion. Thankyou that brought me back to my teenage days.
I completely agree!
When someone asks me to picture a truck in my head, this is what immediately comes to mind.
When you opened the door I said ooooooooooo. Your smile says it all. Very nice find.
Thanks! Thanks for watching
Great looking truck Kent I love it great find
Thanks!
Wow only 2 years! 2 years!! An your already just under a million subscribers!!! That's impressive my guy. Keep up the hard work and don't lose that awesome humble attitude your Dad and you have.
Kent, I really enjoy your videos, You and Jack look more like brothers then father and son. Thanks
Lol I don’t know about that. Thanks for watching
A good buddy had one of these in HS in the late 80'
s, early 90's. It had the 351m . It was lifted with big tires. An amazing time-capsule. Looks like that stang is another. Subscribed!
I bet that was a good time in high school.
Thanks for watching
I have a 78 4x4 long bed with the 351m I love it been having a problem with it lately not wanting to stay running after it's warm but we are working trying to figure it out otherwise it's a good ole truck
@@rooney2561 hopefully it’s something simple!
@@SpeedBumpGarage I hope so but we changed ignition modular and it still just dies after it gets warmed up so idk
For having 49,000 miles that is really really good. I have a 78 250 with a 351 modified and it has 185,000 and I’ve been working on it and it sat outside for 15 years but still for the shape that pick ups and that’s, a really really good deal
That's one awesome looking truck. Leave it just the way it is.
Thanks! You should check out the latest video on the truck
Wow inside is in mint condition...like wow.. incredible find 👍👍
Have a good evening ❄❄❄
Thanks!
You will never stumble on a barn find like this again.....congrats......you gotta good Lad following you around.....this is one that he will never forget as well!
It’s going to be hard to top that’s for sure
Sweet find. My favorite years 78 and 79. Keep trying to get that fridge 4x4
I’m trying! He is a little more attached to it
Wow! Truck looks like it was never driven. You and Jack are fun to watch.
Thanks 👍
That's a gem of a truck. I have a 78 F-150 Ranger XLT. I bought new with a 351M, C-6 trans with cruise, power steering, tilt steering, A/C with dual tanks. With over 295.000 miles on and still runs great. Had the motor overhauled at about 195.000 miles. Although it needs a restorations and wish I could afford to have it done. Also have two 79 Ford F-150 one being a short bed super cab and other a long bed single that I need to sale. Look forward to your next videos. I wish mine was in this shape and could of known about this truck I would of bought it.
it sounds like you have a good collection Dusty!
that is a beautiful truck !!
Ohhhhh man, that’s a dream of truck right there. A dream for me. Keep going with those vídeos.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Nice find. I love the color and it cleaned up nicely. Oh Dad! I think Jack was a little embarrassed breaking down at the stop light.
Lol he was a little nervous about it
Not going to lie, I'm jealous. I would love to have that truck. I'd keep it as is and drive the wheels off it in good weather. If it's for sale, I'm interested. Make a great story driving it from OK to Kentucky wide open and half turned over.....
That would be a fun road trip!
Wow love that find. We had a 1978 Ford bronco it was the best vehicle we ever owned. We put 230 thousand miles on it in its last 6 months we had it would break down often but at that time it didn't really owe us a ride anywhere. Honestly. My late husband and I hated it to go the dealership said you give jus 50$ and it's yours .we was sad that we didn't have the 50 to buy her back lol. 😊I would buy a truck like that if it was n good running order.i absolutely like the body style and the vehicle in general. That one is is even my favorite color. 👍
Great find. Never seen the gas done like that. Hope ya'll have a wonderful evening. Love you guys.
Lol it’s definitely not the best way to do it but we made it home
That sure is a niiiice old Ford truck right there!! Love the blue paint and blue interior!!
Not sure a Chevy guy like Daniel from AFH could appreciate a good Ford truck heh!!
Thank you and Jack for taking us along on the ride!! *Have a good'nnn*
Lol I guess he is wanting to convert. Thanks for watching
Good looking truck!!! Not big on fords. But love the older ford trucks. You are a lucky man. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
My grandpa had a 75 f100 ranger xlt. That ol truck you got sure does bring back some good memories. 👍 good lord what a ford
They are awesome trucks
SWEET! My first vehicle was a 78 F-150 Ranger with a 460. The rectangular headlights were an option in 1978. They came stock in 1979. The original owner ordered it directly from the factory in Dearborn. He flew out to Dearborn, picked it up and drove it to Seattle. Then he put it on a barge and brought it to Wrangell, Alaska.
I had a 78 Ford also. It was a gas guzzler. It took a whole tank of gas to go to town and back (about 20 miles round trip). So I understand why you didn't get very far on the gas you had. Slick looking truck!
Fantastic looking F-150. I know why Daniel of Arms Family Homestead was so excited about the barn find and would like to buy it.
Lol he has been on me since I brought it home
@@SpeedBumpGarage I can see why Daniel would want it. That's a beauty. I'm going to start following your postings so I can dream. Thanks.
I live here in mexico and I have a f 350 77 and half pleasure to know that people like me love the trokas ford congratulations friend
They are great old trucks! Thanks for watching
that is nice 78 truck! something about vehicles made in 60’s and 70’s .. great
Thanks! I love the old trucks
That is a gorgeous truck! Definitely a keeper!
Thanks!
That's a nice looking truck. Good luck getting it up and running right. Sounded pretty good. Maybe it won't take much to get it running like it's supposed to. Good luck on getting the other vehicles you want. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Thanks!
That's a really nice truck the interior and paint look great can't wait to see what you do with it
Should have another video on it next week!
Very nice old truck, I do not have that kind of luck to find one as clean as yours. In our area rust takes it's total on parted cars. That to me is one of Ford's best body styles and being a 4X4 short bed makes it that much better. My 1971 F250 came out of a of someone's back 40, and between the rats holes we spent a lot of time getting it to move on it's own. Glad that you include your son, these will be the things he remembers.
We have some rust issues around here too but this one was preserved very well!
I've re-watched this episode a 2nd time.. what a beautiful barn find truck!
Good.truck
Damn that's a clean rig, inside is immaculate
It’s pretty impressive! Thanks for watching
Very Nice-looking F-150 love the Blue, need everything that truck has for trim and interior for my Ford bronco perfect match...
Lol maybe we can find a Bronco next!
Wow, super clean Ford. I would remove the "do dads" like those stupid steps, and bug shield. It's the right color and interior looks awesome.
I think so too!
Nice looking 78 ford f1-50 it's my favorite color like to have it myself keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do
My Dad had one just like it in ‘78, miss you Daddy
Super clean once in a lifetime barn find. Easily profitable truck
Thanks! I hope so
Nice nice truck nice solo shot Jack keep it up and AJ nice job on things that float
Thanks Gene!
My Dad used to own a 78 extended cab, Ranger edition. 351 Cleveland under the hood. Horrible fuel mileage. I love that truck you have. That's a keeper.
Thanks!
That is one beautiful old truck love the color! Looking forward to more!
Thanks
That truck has been well kept for sure! Looking forward to the future vids with it.
It’s pretty unbelievable
I was watching Arms Family Homestead ans Daniel mentioned this truck and how he is trying to buy it from you. Great find!
Thanks! Daniel definitely wants it
That blue is so nice looking! What a find!
Thanks!
Excellent video :) reminds me of 1972 Ford F350 extended cab 390 4V with 4 barrel carb with hand choke cable knob in dash, Coloumn Shifter Manual 4speed Overdrive transmission with 409 rear end gears, I update transmission with 1968 International 1300 1 ton pickup of Eaton D18 5 speed Manual transmission had Bow Low First gear plus racing clutch in and 1978 Ford F350 4×4 plus 411 rear end gears, extra fuel tank also body & interoir same color your there and sold truck in 2005 got nice money because restored up nice ! Only 2 thing was different had West Coast mirrors on doors on it plus Sliding Rear Window to add plus got tint blue and top front Window beak too too! Cool truck drive but 15 to 10 miles gallon was hard on pocket book of money!
Sounds like an awesome machine!
Sweet Blue paint looks like new!! No UV Ray damage obviously.
Thanks! It was a lucky find
That is a beautiful original truck. 👍😀 I had one similar to it back in the day .
It’s a good one, thanks for watching
Nice find! I'm so impressed it started that easy! I found a barn find 1970 f100 2wd custom about a month ago. We took the tank out and pressure washed out but haven't tried to start it yet. We found a couple of mouse nests so we removed the interior. Good luck to you fellers on yours.
Thanks Darryl! We were extremely fortunate to have an easy fire up on this one
This is one heck of a find sir. Very nice! Love this blue on your rig. 😎🤘
That blue is pretty hard to beat!

Really Nice Truck. I have a 78 long bed 2wd Ranger Lariat. Would love to talk to you more about the truck especially because that truck looks factory and wasn't molested. Well except for green bug deflector and running boards. (LOL!!)
Its mostly untouched!
Nice truck! You guys are so cool. Love your channel. I’d drive an old Ford truck, if I could find one like this one.
Thank you!
Wow..awesome..I'd love to have that truck..it look good by my 78 bronco..

Thanks! it was a pretty amazing find
Wow that truck is in amazing shape
Thanks!
12:24 for him it sure is, he definitely has more fords than chevys. That interior is amazing for even being in a barn, must have lots of cats around his property.
Everything he had inside was in really good shape
The truck looks incredible
Started watching based on recommendation from Daniel Arms. Keep going!
Saw the video of you and the boys driving the old truck into town for snow cones, o well, next time. But as you drove through town, reminded me of Afton, Okla.
We will have to try for the snow cones again next summer! Thanks for watching
Man, that's a clean old Ford. You really did good on that barn find
Thanks!
Nice Truck my first new truck was a 1980 f-250 4x4 wish I still had it.
