I once said that a 1939 Studebaker truck was the prettiest truck in the world but your truck just changed my mind. Brother you did an outstanding job on that truck.
I hate the steering wheel. I think a Wood steering wheel would be better for it IMO! The flashing lights in the cluster were very annoying too, but other than those things its a beautiful build!
Just so you know, the flashing is because of the cameras framerate in relationship with the AC power of the dash, so when you were in the car you wouldn't see the flashing.
LED lights don’t glow non stop. They flicker quicker than the human eye can see. So it looks like a solid light. The camera will pickup the flicker. If you have a vehicle with a backup camera, with the camera activated look at the headlights of someone behind you. You’ll see that flicker.
Horn doesn’t work , glove box falls open and all for a good extortion price. 😳 Hate the dumb steering wheel and stupid digital dash. I’ll stick to my vintage 4x4 F250 5 speed one owner with 95.000 miles for a few thousand bucks, it works and hauls just fine. 🤷♀️🇺🇸
It may well be a 1970 Ford, as all "Bump-sides" (1967-72) all shared the exact same body panels, bed, and had a lot of the same trim, but that is not the grille from a 1970. It looks like a 1968 grille. There are subtle changes in the grille Ford used from 1967 to 1969, but the 1970 was completely different, with a plastic eggcrate design replacing the metal linear horizontal bars of the previous years. Turn signals and hood class designators changed from year to year as well. Ford got a lot of mileage out of this overall design, and it changed very little, save the grille from year to year. I am VERY impressed by the rebop of this truck, and if I had the dough, I'd definitely buy one. Very cool! My chief complaint would be about the 6-lug bolt pattern on the wheels. The 3/4-ton and 1-ton versions of the originals had 8-lugs.
I think you’re right. I have a 70 F100 and had a 70 F350 ton. Both had the same grills. This looks like a 68-69 grill/front. The 70s honeycomb grill is the easiest to identify in the 5th gen.
Yeah I cringed when I heard that 😅 I also kept wincing when he kept saying "the speaker system" 😂 Beautiful Hi-Boy, but IDK if a Coyote would be on the top of my list for swaps, I'd personally rather see either a 6BT or even a 6.7 Cummins, if trying to keep it Ford, I mean, they already came with FE blocks, so a 428 would've been perfect, if new, I guess my next logical choice would've been the Godzilla. Regardless, the horn doesn't work, the glovebox popped open with a tap of the throttle, and while I like the interior, the billet exterior pieces, super pristine paint, rear jump....it just doesn't look like they intended for it to really be used...and no, I don't mean beat or dent the bed to hell lol, but just used as a daily.
No dude older a/c systems used r12 and the discharge pressure side was much lower resulting in colder temperatures. Higher the air being pressurized results in more heat making it harder to cool. Yes the new systems are more efficient but older systems if rebuilt to manufacture specs and r12 used its a massive difference. I’m running two older systems and they’re by far more expensive to service but are colder than my new Malibu hands down. Side note, cars are more insulated today so that’s why the cool air doesn’t dissipate as quickly. Throw some dynamat and new padding in your vintage ride and guaranteed your going to be 5-10 degrees cooler in the cabin using an older system.
You're calling this a 1970 F-250. With the front grill & the heater/AC controls, this is a 1967. Grille style was from '67 to '69. Heater/AC controls were knobs in '67. '68 to '72 were levers. I owned a 1970 F-250 Sport Custom 32 years ago. It had plastic rectangle grille inserts & sliding lever style heater controls.
Yes, a classic manufacturer for the future is Alive. This is what I call new style. Even though it’s old. Now I can say, out with the new in with the old😂
Judging by the grill this is not a 1970 bump side, but a bit of a gen5 Frankenstein. Which is fine, it's a beautiful truck, most restored gen5's have a mix of years on it including a lot of new steel panels which are readily available. Very easy trucks to work on, I have a 67 f100 with a three in the tree transmission and 300 cid, not fast but fun to drive in the city.
This truck is epic,this was when vehicles actually were built an not some shit box garbage thrown together an sold for $60,000 for nothing but plastic an some garbage computers telling it what to do cool video man.
I have a 1980 ranger step side that i am considering doing this to...do you recommend it? I have the 351 in it now and the unit is like new..im thinking i want the new power combined with a better fuel economy...
I dont like it when people retrofit old vehicles like this. They lose their charm. I have an original 1968 F250. Original engine, transmission, and suspension. The Twin-I Beam suspension is... bouncy
Nice looking truck, but I would be pretty tired after a trip if I have to steer that much going in a straight line.., you are constantly adjusting....! ?
This is a pretty great video however it could've been better if you checked out a more stock truck first. The reason you can't tell what gear you're in is because the indicator's supposed to be on the steering column.
The gear indicator is located in the right led screen below the speedometer. You pointed them out when you saw the digital speedometer on the left. FFS
I'm with you. I drove '72 brand new. No PS and 12.00 x 16.5 bias ply tires. And yes I could parallel park it downtown if I needed to go down there for some strange reason.
Ford needs to come out with same style body reconfigurations of these trucks
Small chance, not 0 but small chance of old style reworked like Mustang.

He'll nah just switch back to steal or cast iron. Cuz that's how feels to drive a ford f150
This is when cars and trucks actually had some style now every car looks the same cheap plastic with cheap plastic chrome.
Mans smoking that nostalgia bullshit. back then, especially with trucks, they all looked more alike than the cars and trucks do of today.
@@johnkenley4687 the bumpside and dentside fords did look similar but the different branxs all look different. Before you start saying crap actually know what your talking about
@redjasper1100 almost like it's still the same, even with todays trucks. It's still stupidly easy to tell brands apart.

Cracks me up....Prius driver doing a vintage truck review. THHSUPER!
Hahahhaha

That high pitch Californian accent is unbearable. Wish there was a silent review of this
Thanks for the review Parker! It's definitely been a fun build and we can't wait to build more F-Series trucks!
Any chance you guys will branch out into the F100s? You did an absolutely fantastic job with this one
What kind of mileage does this old girl get?
Excellent job guys.
@@pastaholicthey make them now
I love classic ford trucks, my first vehicle was a 73 F100. They did a great job on this. It still looks the part.
I designed that truck being the top ford architect...
W0W!!!
“AWD System”
Need to get some recognition of what you truly are talking about
RPM gauge 😂😂😂
I once said that a 1939 Studebaker truck was the prettiest truck in the world but your truck just changed my mind. Brother you did an outstanding job on that truck.
Studebaker trucks of all eras has some of the best styling in my opinion. Not just 4x4 but street rods too.
He didn't do this and it's not his truck. it's made by a company

yeah...SMH Sad!
Yeah I cringed when I heard that 😅
I also kept wincing when he kept saying "the speaker system" 😂

Didn’t seem to know what the vent windows were either. Then was sniveling about the manual windows…

What a beauty! I am not coyote swapping my current build but maybe my next. This is an inspiration for what to do!
Apparently this dude has trouble deciding which restroom to use also!
Son that is a Truck!
Hahaha!
I like the sound of the older 5.0's and 5.8's from the 80's and 90's myself.
owned a 69 F250 back in the 90s... great Truck... other than the gas tank being inside the cab, I'd happily take one again anyday.
whats wrong with vintage windows
You're calling this a 1970 F-250. With the front grill & the heater/AC controls, this is a 1967.

Not bad for a long bed.
Sloppy steering and no horn are details that really don't help Velocity's professional integrity.
Keeping car history alive
Oh my God...Stunning truck
Wait did Parker do a review on something I’d actually want! I’d take this over a Lamborghini any day.
It would get just as much attention.
In the end this isn't a 150k pickup. No regular cab pickup is worth that much
Yes, a classic manufacturer for the future is Alive. This is what I call new style. Even though it’s old. Now I can say, out with the new in with the old😂
That truck is too prettified to be useful. Its like having a plate you can't eat off of.
LOL, for having tight steering you sure do look like a pantomime of someone driving in 1917 with that wheel, haha.
that's what I thought also
Ahhh a Ford that even a Chevy guy has to admit is badass.
Beautiful awesome lookin Highboy truck!

I think it’s just Messina gooseneck hitch
6 lug
What drivetrain mods were done ?
Chevy hubs and brakes or full passenger drop axle?
All Ford highboy f250 were 8 lug
Dana 44 front, Dana 60 rear, Atlas transfer case.

The blinker come on man
That's a beautiful bump side
Love this truck!
Man oh man! That's a nice ride. My favorites are the 68' and '72 but now I have to add the
'70.
Seems like velocity needs to work on their fit and finish.
I have a 1980 ranger step side that i am considering doing this to...do you recommend it? I have the 351 in it now and the unit is like new..im thinking i want the new power combined with a better fuel economy...

You lost me at automatic transmission

Love it ! Great job on the pickup👍
If you asked Charlie Sheen , he'd say .....winning!
Really hope that engine was warmed up before he went and hit those 5k plus rpms
I typed in new engine old truck and was thinking coyote. I’ve got a 83 bullnose. Sitting for years now since I bought it can’t wait to get in again
$300K and you get an annoying wind noise through the wing window...nice!
Explaining how the steering is great while navigating a what looks to be nearly a quarter turn of play 😂
Nicely done👍😎👍
My god! You were probably the first car channel I actually followed and kept up with. Haven’t seen a VV video in years! Glad you’re still at it
Sick truck
What kind of f250 has 6 lug hubs? Why would you put half ton axles under a 3/4 ton truck
Dana 44 front, Dana 60 rear. Pretty sure that's a 3/4 ton layout.
Just awesome!!
Wanna see more of car meets😅and yeah
LOVE those wheels
Visibility used to be so much better in vehicles.
Would love to see someone make one of these into a 4 door truck.
Beautiful truck. But I bet the original carborated V8 would have started faster. Vrommmmmm.
Yeah for $315,000 dollars. Insane how much Velocity is charging people for these rebuilds. So much for the workin man being able to buy one.
Would be nice if the offered something more affordable. Or is that for the deplorables?
Beautiful
Beautiful Truck. I wish the wheels were chrome 😢
Nice looking truck, but I would be pretty tired after a trip if I have to steer that much going in a straight line.., you are constantly adjusting....! ?
he doesn't know how to drive a pickup, even if it's newer components.
LONG LIVE FORD ❤
Loving theses types of videos feels nostalgic 👍🏻
Nice truck. Was this filmed in somis or moorpark in Ventura county ca?
can a diesel be added for this heavy truck?
beautiful but that rear bumper should be chrome. Wait, you said it's all wheel drive? What in the world?
Was that slipping shifting from 2nd to third? nice truck though.
he probally broke it and blamed it on the owner cuz he's a pos!
This is a pretty great video however it could've been better if you checked out a more stock truck first. The reason you can't tell what gear you're in is because the indicator's supposed to be on the steering column.
When I have Lambo money, I’m getting this kind of stuff instead lol
Should have had chrome bumpers, front & rear.
That is a extremely stylish truck, plenty of style but did not loose the classic look, I myself don’t like coyote swaps especially in broncos.
Awesome video 💪
Question: PCH? What is it?
I don't like the wheel's either, other than that I'm sure it's a peach.
My dream truck
Slamming those door waaay to hard.
The gear indicator is located in the right led screen below the speedometer. You pointed them out when you saw the digital speedometer on the left. FFS
The mileage is also in that display. You pointed it out.
Not sure if you will see this but I’ve got the same kind of truck I think and how could I rebuild it
69 grill looks Nice too!
How much y’all think one of these would cost?
250,000 $
2,250,000 subscribers. 5,500 views. LOL!!!!
Could you please do in 992 gt3 manual review?
the fools but seatbuckles on the jumpseats so when it rolls you get crushed
A couple little details to address (horn and glove box) but overall a good looking truck!
and a transmission gear indicator????🤔
NICE PICK UP TRUCK
GREETINGS FROM GERMANY
PETER
Cool..I drive old cars and trucks because they're simple. Last thing I want in them is a computer. But still a nice looking, incorrect "1970".
Dude has never driven a truck before
RUclips really hating on you
Not a 1970 but it’s clean.. 70 was different from the rest different grill & different tailgate .
How much would a truck cost like that
RPM gauge…? Sounds like trans slipping a bit?
You should do a watch collection video some time
Awesome truck! Love it and the review!
This should be nice for a restomod - Velocity sells these for over $250000.
No highback seats?
Should be able to buy a new truck like this for 25k. They would sell by the millions
Quite a bit of slop in that steering box,
It’s so funny to hear you review an old truck when this is what I grew up with, they are far from perfect if there original. I guess I’m old haha.
I'm with you. I drove '72 brand new. No PS and 12.00 x 16.5 bias ply tires. And yes I could parallel park it downtown if I needed to go down there for some strange reason.
That much money, but couldn't that slack out of the steering wheel.
