Riding in the cubby hole behind the seat. That was a time before America turned into wimps. I remember playing in the back of the station wagon with my brother. Those old wagons were like a playground in the back. Riding in the back of pickups, the list goes on. You got hurt, your dad told you to suck it up and quit whimpering. We survived.
My dad had a green 68 ranchero. It last ran in 1987. He bought a 68 Fairlaine for parts as he hit a deer with the ranchero. The goal was to replace the hood. I remember that being on it , and it stood out since it was primer gray lol. later, when we kids would play flashlight tag or manhunt, i sometimes would hide in the bed of the truck. He had some parts back there, which made it difficult to a lay down. Also, you could feel bugs and spiders crawl on you. Sometime around 2010, we finally had the truck and parts car sold to someone. We were just happy to get them out of the driveway after so many years.
Had a '68 Ranchero 40 years ago. Lime Gold 289 w/ 3 on the column. Worn out nylon cam gear threw the timing chain and carb backfired causing a fire. Thank goodness it happened in front of a house w/ a garden hose nearby so it didn't burn to the ground. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine 👍
I almost had an ElCamino .1964 , about the frame of a nova not full sized. Had a 4 speed 302 I think. $700. In 1973 , but dad said dont buy someone else's headache . so I waited and bought New1974 RoadRunner last year production of RR beep beep. She had three miles on it in the showroom. She really was a great car.
Just bought one myself yesterday how cool was looking up info on RUclips and you popped up will continue watching your progress they give me some good ideas
your video driving it reminded me of my old 63' Studebaker but your ranchero doesn't seem to have the getty up that mine had what's the cid on yous I think I might've missed it. mine was a 289 but I had dual quads on mine...2 750 cfm hollies the part where you were having a hard time stopping really took me back remembering always having to pump up the brakes but as I recall mine had 4 wheel drum brakes I was gonna keep mine all original but after loosing a race on woodward ave in downtown Detroit I set to modifying mine a customer of mine who had a1968 Chrysler Valiant wanted an up grade on his so I pulled out the 318 (317.5 cid) he was running & slipped in a rebuilt pontiac 350 in his car & he left it up to me how to dispose of his 318 so I put a new set of rings on it & had a buddy of mine put in new valve seats & crome valves & slipped it in my studebaker & boy what a differance it made over my 289 cid V8 not long after that I put in disc front brakes all that pumpping came to an end.
For some reason I didn't get any notification on either this video or part two, hopefully that has changed. You sold me with the slotted mags. LOL Had them on my '69 hemi roadrunner (4spd). The only way to tell the difference between the 289 and 302 will be decoding your vin. The difference is the 302 has a 1/8" longer stroke. Curious if it's a "C" or "k" code Windsor. More people are familiar with the Chevy El Camino, but the Ranchero has been around longer. A guy up the road from me rebuilt a "74 with a 351 4spd. Now to watch Part 2.
I had a previous owner of the car see the videos on the Ranchero! He emailed me and said it’s a 302. I will try and decode the vin in a future video. Hopefully your notifications start working again
Another awesome find.. love your Apache truck - what a sweet ride.Bought a 51 Dodge "Job Rated" pick- up in 1999 , drove it around to various car shows (all stock, patina color)still kick myself for selling it . The 69 Ranchero is in damn good shape for it's year, really enjoy watching all the videos that you provide. thanks keep them coming - Brad from Vernon B.C. Canada
Thanks for watching Brad! I have had plenty that I kick myself for getting rid of but you can't keep them all. Part 2 with the Ranchero will be out this afternoon.
That is a nice car. I bought a new '68 Torino GT with the 390 and the 1 2 3 tranny. It was like that one, only it was a car. It was great. Looking forward to you introducing it to the boys and working on it.
that's what I miss about the good old days we used to be able to do all kinds of mods now a days the CPM dictated what you can & can not do too much electronis I actually miss points on the ignition systems
21:29 That thing is a pretty good runner! I'd manual swap it if it was mine but that ol' C4 is still holdin' in nice. Pulls strong too, no stumbles or stutters or anything like that.
My first car was a 72 ranchero my grandpa gave me in 2000 when i turned 17, was a 351c with low miles and was white. It had the torino front end but the 67 and other fairlane front ends are my favorite. very clean car, sadly i got rid of it when i got a ranger and couldnt afford the insurance on both. I was young and dumb or else i woupd have never sold it like i did
Love the car! I just traded a 66 Ranchero in the same condition except with a 289 in it, for a 2008 Chevy Malibu on Friday, I had my Malibu for sale and one of the guys at work asked about it and said his brother was looking for a first car for his daughter and asked if I would talk to him at lunch if he called and I said sure, so at lunch he called him and while we were talking he said he wouldn't mind seeing my car but he was looking for a strait up trade that he had a 66 ranchero that was he and his wife's 3rd car that they drove when their cars were in the shop or broke down and he'd like to just strait up trade it for my Malibu if it was what his brother said it was, After work I followed his brother to their house and he looked at my car while I looked at his and test drove them, after the test drive we both thought 'There's no way in hell he'll take a strait up trade because these car is amazing" but after getting back we both said "Strait up trade works for me" I slapped my plates on the ranchero and drove home, he was looking for a good reliable car for his daughter and I was looking for a classic to tinker around with while I drove it, both worked far behind what we wanted. Mine is White but definately needs a paint job but other than a good clean up and some pretting up the rest of it prefect. I went and had it inspected this morning and had the plates from Malibu transferred over to the Ranchero. My neighbor who is a County Sheriffs Deputy came over Saturday morning while I was giving it good bath and deep cleaning the interior and engine bay to look at it and noticed that the plates were off my Malibu and said "It'll be fine as long as you don't do anything to get the cops attention until you can get them transferred over and I won't tell anyone if you take me for a ride after your done cleaning up" then chuckled.... I'm not doing much else to it other than a repaint, painting the engine block red, Yes, I know it's supposed to be black, and going to put a chrome dress up kit on it just to make it look pretty, the interior is almost new condition and really just needed cleaned up really good and I'm just going to daily drive it, I just wanted a classic to drive and have fun on the weekends taking to cruise-ins and local car shows and it certainly fits that bill.
It would be fine with me if you uploaded part 2 sooner than next week… I know these videos take a lot of time to film and edit, but if you have the time, 2-3 videos a week (or more) would be awesome. If not, no big deal, I’m sure you’ve got a lot going on that’s much more important than making videos. Either way, love the channel!
Hopefully someday I can get to making more than one video a week but with AJ still being so young and me working full time it’s hard to make time for it. Thanks for watching and I promise the second part is worth the wait!
@@SpeedBumpGarage Polk Co I do believe. Dunno where that is in the state but he mentions it all the time, often in a mocking tone as I'm guessing there's a lot of jury rigging going on in that area.
@@SpeedBumpGarage Def worth doing then! Hell, you do that, throw an HVAC kit from VintageAir in the cab, put a nice AM/FM radio in there, and you could just straight up sell the new truck outright. That old Chevy would do everything it does at that point. 'Tis something I'm looking into for my next daily. I'm planning on a car from the 1930s-40s for that, which aren't geared too much differently to that Apache. If it's a 3-on-the-tree I'm prolly gonna just alter the rear end ratio and retain the stock trans because I don't want to change anything more than absolutely necessary, but I may do a trans swap if I end up with a floor shifted car. if it's a Ford like I want I'll go for the same model of 4-speed that's in my '85 F150.
Thanks for giving us a chance! We will have an update on the pickup next Wednesday. I haven't filmed the mustang update yet but you wont believe how well in cleaned up!
The body looks straight and pretty clean, other than the rust of course. My guess is it's never been wrecked. The 272, 292, and 312 all use same block. Easiest way to tell is pull a head and measure the bore and strike. I think the 312 has bigger crank bearings than the other two, but you would need a block you knew the size of to compare. If it's the original moter, which it probably is, the VIN number would tell. There are web sites where you can look up VINs.
This one isn't a Y-block, so you're barkin' up the wrong tree with those numbers. Pretty sure pulling the valve covers and looking at head casting numbers would be sufficient here.
@@SpeedBumpGarage They're in awkward places but I don't think you'll need to pull the head outright. Pretty sure there's numbers under the valve covers.
Awesome! Sounded pretty good. See you next time. Hope ya'll have a bless evening. Love you guys.

Rare xars to find
Got a 1969 ranchero gt 302 5 L v8.. Love it..cool Pick up truck 👍
I love those cars!
I like to think calling them "el camino" bodystyle is the most fitting because it was the most known car of that bodystyle.
@@flitai Us Australians have a name for them, its called a ute. Coupe utility.
That looks like a nice, solid Ranchero.
It made me happy to see you so happy. 😊

2:44 I friggin love how you're usin' that old Apache like it was designed to be used. These things weren't lawn ornaments!

Thanks Sandy
That's nice I like it.
Me too! Thanks for watching
@@SpeedBumpGarage thanks for the content
I searched for Roadkills Rancharo, that is what going on with it now but found this. Great video man, keep up the great work!!!
That's awesome news! I was hoping the RUclips search would show my video with theirs. I appreciate you watching! Part 2 goes live tomorrow!
that's what I miss about the good old days we used to be able to do all kinds of mods now a days the CPM dictated what you can & can not do too much electronis I actually miss points on the ignition systems
Really cool missed a couple of your videos gotta catch up lol

Thanks! I’ve had several get away for the same reason
You get excited about all of them lol good for you go OU
Lol
My daughter calls them Crucks. I like those and the El Camino. I've always been a chevy fan but like all makes.
Lol I have never heard them called crucks
I bought one this week 🎉
Unless someone swapped in an older engine, it's a 302. Last year for the 289 was 67
Thanks Mark! I didn't realize that.
Wrong some early 68 models had a 289 because of a shortage of 302.. research it!!!! But the engine here is probably 302.
I love how you always include the boys good job have fun making all these memories
Thank you!

I hope so!
And we had an a Chevrolet El 1 hours about Jack's age and I road 250 me in it behind the back it wasn't too uncomfortable
COOL
👍
68 was the frist year of the 302
I got a call from a previous owner that verified it was a 302. It runs great
Well maybe you and stew can take it to the woods and see what they'll run over
Lol
Its a ute mate!
It sure is!
U need put seat belts in 59 chevy pu.
Yes I do

1:02 Swap a 5-speed into that thing one of these days so itt'l run 70mph without too much fuss and you've got a revival rig.
I swapped a T5 into my 55 chevy car with a 235 and I could cruise 80! It would for sure be a big improvement.

Thanks for giving us a chance! We will have an update on the pickup next Wednesday. I haven't filmed the mustang update yet but you wont believe how well in cleaned up!
Are you going to restore the Ranchero?
Its an openack car great for hauling deer
It sounds like there's some valve trian Noise
It’s hard to tell with the exhaust leak
@@SpeedBumpGarage I heard lifter noise in the vid
I'm working on a couple of 69 Rancheros for my channel. If you have any questions, contact me. I'm located in NE Texas.
Thanks
That has a 351C engine
Where is my bug?
Hiding in the shop lol
How much did you pay ?
I’m a GM guy all the way around but them Rancheros have always looked better than the El Camino.
