Love the color, wish they'd put more classic colors like this on cars today instead of just on new Mustangs. Too many cars today are all the same dull grey, black, or white and they all look the same. Older cars were more organic, the cars of today are more like a bubble. Such a pleasure to drive my 79 F150.
Man I just loves these old Ford's. I have a 96 F150 (which is the last year of the box style F-Series half ton before the 97 full redesign.)with 202,000 miles on it still going strong and it's a good looking truck it's got the old school look of a traditional pickup but it has power Windows,door locks, aircondition, and remote start.
Oh the nostalgia. My dad had one of these trucks back in the late 70's early 80s. Great truck.I believe his was stick shift, Stick came out through the center floor board. Not on the side of the steering wheel like this truck. Never had any issues with the exception of a small fire. I used to love riding in the cargo are when safety ws not much of a concern for kids or parents. 🤣 He worked on that truck every day until he got it fixed. Traded it in for a 84 Chevy pickup. Good old days.
Watching this makes me miss my old F-100 (that had also been handed down to me by my dad!). The smaller displacement V8 was actually a 302cid, FYI. Thanks for the vid'!
This is great, thank you for sharing all these wonderful cars with us. I really admire your passion for going out to complete strangers to showcase their unique vehicles.
What a lovely old truck, so nice to see an original, used but obviously well-loved vehicle, so much nicer than a restored trailer queen and with so much more character...
A little TLC, and they run forever! I have had a '70 for the last twenty some years. It's a mild stock looking custom. I don't get crazy, lol! Wouldn't think twice about driving it anywhere. This looks like an "Explorer" package truck, because of the color. FoMoCo really tricked out these trucks! Thanks for sharing!!
These are "real trucks." I owned a '72 F-100, 360, 4 speed (w/granny low) PS...for 33 years! I've replaced it with a '70 F-250...bought it completely restored...460, headers, 4 bbl. C-6, aftermarket AC, PS, 3.73 Dana LS, it "hauls ass!" I get compliments wherever I go. I love it!
have the same truck. Its an amazing vehicle. My gandfather bougth ir in 1970. I really love it. Some people dreams with a Ferrari... i dream every night with my 1970 F-100 champagne truck.
I love this video... Ford had a 300 six.. a 302 V8.. a 390 V8.. My favorite engine is the 300 six My son has a truck like this with the 390.. it will light up the rear tires !
you just named 2 windsor motors and a Cleveland motor. You also have the 360 and the 351 they put in these years as well. and not even naming all of the FE big blocks and other cleveland motors
my uncle had a 170 300 il6 ….3 on the tree with manual choke...rode like a dream....why can't ford built this model again I would buy one in a heartbeat
Brought back memories when I used to help my father, who was a bricklayer, and we always had trucks like these around when I was a kid and then later as a teen and learned to drive a stick (and manage a trailer). Okay, Nick. Enough screwing around. You need to get a Porsche 911 GTS and get back to making Porsche videos. The RUclips community all shared in your sorrow when your last 911 gave you such trouble. It's time to bring it back home to a Porsche.
Stephan Wessels Thanks Stephan, I will be getting another 911 in the new year but the GTS is off the list, I don't like them at all, it will be a C2S or light spec Turbo.
Heh.. We bought an f-250 from a bricklaying company to use as a farm truck. That thing was beat to shit but just wouldn't die. Hearing that 360 start up brought back some good memories.
I've just bought a 1970 F250 Camper Special, 390 with a C6. Power steering, brakes and A/C. Got it for peanuts, it needs a bit of work and a respray, but that's why I bought it. Some thing to play with in my retirement.
There's no reason to stop at 1970 when the fifth generation F-Series trucks were from 67-72. On top of that, the 73-79 trucks are every bit as good as the prior generation. Late '77-79 F250/F350 trucks were the best of them all. I prefer the old trucks but if you put an old truck up against a new one, the old truck is going to lose in just about every category. Where the old trucks shine is how well they hold up over the years whereas newer trucks have become disposable.
Ha they didn't know how to build a truck back then now is where it's at,they are so much better, now fords PU trucks is the most reliable and cheap to keep going than there old stuff, name me one Ford PU built in the last 20 yrs that isnt much more reliable and durable than their old PU trucks,why twenty five years ago they didn't know how to build em new is the way to go not old
my papa bought this same truck brand new showroom model. he sold it to my dad my dad got tired of 3 on tree and no power steering so he put a c6 auto and power steering and aircraft stainless dual exhaust. my papa put after market a/c in it it was just enough to keep the sweat off your balls. I got it from dad and put 1974 corvette rims on it with raised letters. everyone in high school knew me. it sounded great
Uncle Jesse predominately had a 1973-1975 Ford F-Series. It would change bed sizes and change from a F100 to an F250, but was almost never a "bumpside."
‘67 & ‘70 without a doubt the most beautiful trucks ever , 1970 was the last year of the ultimate iconic truck from the golden era , it had all the trim package of the 71-72 however last model with the thicker lower trim mouldings, and last year of the iconic 3 spoke steering wheel , 1971-1972 ain’t as beautiful to me , also the 1970 grille is perfection and very beautiful, 1967 also great truck many uniques features only available on 1967 as such the iconic grille the door skins with opening handle separated from the arm rest and the lack of side reflective lights !
If it’s not a 1966 Ford pickup truck , my favorite truck would be a very nice 1970 Ford pickup truck because the front grill is all chrome and it’s been put together right !!
my dads first truck was one those but in canary yellow ive been on the look out for one for a few years know to fix up and give to my dad his had the 391 and 4 on the floor
Had one exactly like it. Paid 1500.00 for it back in 77. Owned it till 80. Was in Cherry shape too,came fron NC. i was 2nd owner. 302 3 in tree grabber blue. Same truck. Wish I had it now Had cragar ss mags and dual exhaust glass packs on it. Sold it for 1200.00☹️
My first NEW vehicle was a 1970 F100. But I always put a lot of miles on my trucks, so 6 years on I sold it. Inline "6", three on the tree and no PS---PB or air conditioning. The ONLY problem I ever had was the brake light switch fell out of the mounting bracket, killing the battery and leaving me stranded. Considering how I hammered it, that was miraculous. Of course simplicity helped. The single biggest thing I miss about the new ones is ya can't buy one with a stick. I LIKE standards. The manufacturers don't.
Nice video... makes my wait for the arrival of a 1965 F100 all the more hard to bear. It's almost the same, even the color. Three on the tree as well, and no power steering either. How's the ride without power steering? Seems ok from watching the vid. . .
I had a 1967 1F00. 300 SIX engine. 4 speed with granny low transmission. Mine also manual steering and brakes. I liked it lot but steering it got to my back. Someday I want another old Ford pickup but power stuff this time please!!
I own a 68 F100 that was my dads. It had 360 V8, but now a 390. Has the original C6 Automatic Transmission, rebuilt once. Over 500,000 miles on it. It does not look in this shape, as we used it. It still runs great. It will probably out last me
I live these trucks. I got 2 1970 ford f100s both 302 3 on the tree 1 has been in the family since brand new and the other one I bought from the original owner. I also have a 65 f100 I restored and done a v8 swap to. great trucks will never own a new vehicle as long as I own an old truck. one of my 70 is a shortbed about this color it's harbor blue my other 70 is a 2 tone boxwood green and new lime the other one (65) is Arcadian blue Wimbledon white. I love them so much. would sell 2/3 of them. can't sell my family 🤣
Always thought this would be the kind of vehicle (and vintage) for the typical cross-America road trip. Would probably cost quite a bit to do now with that V8.
I drove my 1984 F-150 351W from Philadelphia, PA to Great Falls, MT and back twice - 2007, 2008. Need a tune to get it over the mountains when I went through Colorado, other than that a smooth time. Surprisingly comfortable.
Getting this exact year and model for 500 bucks. Its go some rust and a small hole that needs to be bondo'd and sanded primes and painted. But it's got a 390 big block in it. Mind you the only cars I've driven were 6 cylinders.. Just wanna make sure I dont wreck such a beautiful truck out of ignorance of the power held underneath that hood...
had a 71 w 302 3 tree etc first truck i owned 42k rusted to the ground but ran perfectly -cab rotted away to the point it rested on my steering linkage making it impossible to steer ,great truck tho lol
Your thoughts on this? Would be great to see you do a review of it if you can get your hands on one. 2015 Lexus RC350 F Sport: How Does it Compare to BMW & Audi? - A Discussion with MotoMan
I have driven the RC350 F Sport but no I will not be doing a review on one, I really don't like that much about them so would find it hard to find things to say. MotoMan is correct however the leather work and some of the fittings (not the console or the Nav system which are 10 years behind) are miles ahead of BMW, also the engine sound is very nice. Performance is not on par with BMW or the MB at this price point and I think Lexus is trying too hard to look like an Audi. Over all I think the new MB C class is the current leader in this segment by quite a margin, and I suspect the new Audi A4 next year will step it up as well.

Porch! It's Porsche. Hardest I laughed today
@@splink7372 ikr lol
I live in the U.K and my Lord I want one of these as my first car! It would be rather awesome!!
@@thedarrencasey was about to ask the same aha. Reliability is the only issue with solely owning a car like this as a daily driver!
@@ollyunwin4327 I might be getting one as a project truck and reliability is the deciding factor
Watching this makes me miss my old F-100 (that had also been handed down to me by my dad!). The smaller displacement V8 was actually a 302cid, FYI. Thanks for the vid'!
What a fantastic change of pace! Good on you Mr. Murray, always a pleasure to watch!
I had a 67 Ford F100 Stepside 6' bed. 352 V8, C6 Auto Trans with a Mustang console shifter and 4:11 rear end. Loved that Truck.
I grew up in a 1973 Ford F-100. Really enjoy the videos guys. Thanks for the memories!!!!!
My mom had a '72 f100 in this same color. I loved that old truck!
This is great, thank you for sharing all these wonderful cars with us. I really admire your passion for going out to complete strangers to showcase their unique vehicles.
My first truck was a 78 F-150 three in the tree straight 6! Would love to have that truck today! I would only need aftermarket AC😁
What a lovely old truck, so nice to see an original, used but obviously well-loved vehicle, so much nicer than a restored trailer queen and with so much more character...
I know those couple dents on the front and back are very cool in a way.
My dad used to have one of these in white with three on a tree... Oh what memories. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice survivor truck. I remember when these trucks ruled the roads in South Carolina.
🇺🇲✌️🇺🇲
My dad had a 1968 f250 camper special with a 360 paired with a c6 transmission. I miss that truck. My mom always referred to it as the workhorse.
I have my father's '71 F-100, basically the same as this except I haven't kept it as original.
Love your videos. Looking forward to more classic car reviews
Really enjoyed the video - your neighbours a good bloke. Look forward to seeing your upcoming videos. Cheers from Australia.
Good work again, Nick. I like to see this old cars in your channel, because here in Germany they never drived.
Cheers Nick, interesting as always. Your neighbor seems like a nice guy!
Very cool, Nick. I like the diversity of vehicles lately!
I’m plain old in love with these old three on the tree trucks.
My best friend had an F-Series of the same gen and I loved riding around in it.
My dad had a 1971 F100. Great truck. I wish I had my dad's truck.
That was my grandpa's. Sitting in that smooth cement-floored garage, rich smell of oil from its hinges.
Still wish I had my 1971 F100 been 30 years sense I sold it still miss it.
Learned how to drive 3 on the tree. 71 F100. Dads Truck. Never forget it
Great video, thanks for the ride...
Like the pickup- tough to find something more timelessly American then a FORD pickup.
Nice Nick - love your video's!
I love old pick up trucks and this video is the best
Hey Nick love your vids and another good one!
Thanks Nathan!

I'll put any American made truck from 1945 till 1970 up against any truck made today.
America was great.

Another great video. I am starting to think the classic videos are more enjoyable than the modern ones.
I enjoy them more too!
I actually learned to drive in one of these!
Uncle Jesse predominately had a 1973-1975 Ford F-Series. It would change bed sizes and change from a F100 to an F250, but was almost never a "bumpside."
Was ‘bout to mention smthn like this. “Jesse” drove like a ‘74.

Great story, I have my dads 69 F100 as well.
my dads first truck was one those but in canary yellow ive been on the look out for one for a few years know to fix up and give to my dad his had the 391 and 4 on the floor
The Explorer wheel covers always makes them stand out. Thats the color I'm going to paint my '69.
nice truck!👍
Had one exactly like it. Paid 1500.00 for it back in 77.
Owned it till 80. Was in Cherry shape too,came fron NC.
i was 2nd owner. 302 3 in tree grabber blue. Same truck.
Wish I had it now
Had cragar ss mags and dual exhaust glass packs on it.
Sold it for 1200.00☹️
My first NEW vehicle was a 1970 F100. But I always put a lot of miles on my trucks, so 6 years on I sold it. Inline "6", three on the tree and no PS---PB or air conditioning. The ONLY problem I ever had was the brake light switch fell out of the mounting bracket, killing the battery and leaving me stranded. Considering how I hammered it, that was miraculous. Of course simplicity helped. The single biggest thing I miss about the new ones is ya can't buy one with a stick. I LIKE standards. The manufacturers don't.
Yeah and as mediocre as the Ford C-6 was, man did they make a smooth standard!
That car sounds so fucking good and looks amazing!!!
Not a car.
Nice video... makes my wait for the arrival of a 1965 F100 all the more hard to bear. It's almost the same, even the color. Three on the tree as well, and no power steering either. How's the ride without power steering? Seems ok from watching the vid. . .
Oohh my God ! Is a beauty!
Do they have heating or air conditioning
my next truck i own a 04 f150 and i love the 1970 f100
That blue colour brought thought of Porsche 911 speedster as well ;-) if that was what you referred?
I had a 1967 1F00. 300 SIX engine. 4 speed with granny low transmission. Mine also manual steering and brakes. I liked it lot but steering it got to my back. Someday I want another old Ford pickup but power stuff this time please!!
I own a 68 F100 that was my dads. It had 360 V8, but now a 390. Has the original C6 Automatic Transmission, rebuilt once. Over 500,000 miles on it. It does not look in this shape, as we used it. It still runs great. It will probably out last me
Wow nice work keeping the C-6 in great shape. Had my 1984 351W-HO's C-6 rebuilt at 155k. Great machines.
Wish I was lucky enough to own one of these, you can keep modern cars..this classic is simple, and reliable
Where can I find one. I want one with a strait 6 300?
Hola, tengo una f100 mod 73 original, desde hace 46 años , que máquina.
My first car (technically truck)!
nice truck
My dad had a 1972 f100 when I was 5 I recently just got a 1975 f100
i got a 74 f250 and a 91 f250 and i like them both.
Just like mine good old trucks
Be still my beating heart. I had a 74 in Grabber Blue.
I live these trucks. I got 2 1970 ford f100s both 302 3 on the tree 1 has been in the family since brand new and the other one I bought from the original owner. I also have a 65 f100 I restored and done a v8 swap to. great trucks will never own a new vehicle as long as I own an old truck. one of my 70 is a shortbed about this color it's harbor blue my other 70 is a 2 tone boxwood green and new lime the other one (65) is Arcadian blue Wimbledon white. I love them so much. would sell 2/3 of them. can't sell my family 🤣
Also want to add that Bo Duke signed my dash.
Actually, Uncle Jessie's truck on the "Dukes of Hazzard" was either a 73', 74', or 75' F-100 from the 6th generation.
Always thought this would be the kind of vehicle (and vintage) for the typical cross-America road trip. Would probably cost quite a bit to do now with that V8.
The original seat is awful. Take something else.
I drove my 1984 F-150 351W from Philadelphia, PA to Great Falls, MT and back twice - 2007, 2008. Need a tune to get it over the mountains when I went through Colorado, other than that a smooth time. Surprisingly comfortable.
I've got a 1975 Ford f100 it's automatic and has a 460 7.6 litter motor in it
Squiggly Squishers I've always liked the 360 much better.
Wesley Parker No one asked
oh my god before I discovered this video i had the thumbnail image for my laptop wallpaper.
Getting this exact year and model for 500 bucks. Its go some rust and a small hole that needs to be bondo'd and sanded primes and painted. But it's got a 390 big block in it. Mind you the only cars I've driven were 6 cylinders.. Just wanna make sure I dont wreck such a beautiful truck out of ignorance of the power held underneath that hood...
Can't bet a old Ford truck.

300 SIX,302, 360,390 are the engines offered.
Its gonna be my first vehicle and last
Does he ever get out of second gear
6:54
"Its all original" "Those are aftermarket"
The engine options in 1970, are as follows 240i6,300i6,302v8,335v8,352v8,351v8,360v8,385*v8,390v8,460v8
Not all of those engines were an option in the f100 though.
Ford 100 came with a straight 6 3 speed on the column
