These are the 5 full-size trucks I'd recommend to anybody, if I left any trucks out you'd recommend leave it in the comments. I appreciate the feedback and look forward to another top 5 on the small/midsized trucks
Wah you read the description???
Here's the hastags.. ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM
#cars #truck #trending #automobile #cartok #diy #yourmom
In Texas the resellers have ruined cheap trucks. They want 7500 for everything even with mid 200k
Yeah the squarebody market is outrageous here in TX, but really everything is. People on Craigslist know what they got. No lowballers 🤣
@@jameshenderson7607right. Idk how they make money on the flips cause I sure can’t find “cheap trucks”
Yup, I'd kill to have a decent OBS Ford, 1st or 2nd gen RAM, or even a square body Chevy. But can't find any for a decent price here
Have seen the same everywhere, ppl are wanting less electronics and more reliability which is driving prices up
Go in with a cash offer. 💵 I’ve had a third knocked off the price buying a vehicle off a small lot before. If they won’t go down, then just leave.
Wasn’t expecting the squarebody to actually be in the video, lol
I think i proved my point lol, if you're not worried about fuel economy, they're the easiest truck to maintain and own...
@ yeah I thought it was just on the thumbnail for more views xD
They get even cheaper if you can run a cut off wheel and a mig welder lol. That's if you care. I drove an 80 with NO floor boards for about 4 years. I love working on cars but that truck got me through college and the only thing I did was change the plugs and wires (I just wanted big yellow plug wires), changed the oil in the 350 to 15w40 - even in Kansas winter, put aluminum sheet metal where the the floorboards should be (not bolted down just kinda... set there), replaced the radiator cap which cured all of my overheating and I didn't question or look into it harder, and hit the quadratjet with a plastic mallet for some reason (I really don't have a good answer for that it just felt like the right thing to do and it worked, no more bogging under quick load). They're cheap as hell if you are willing to look and buy them beat to hell. For the record, I do have an 87 that I'm constantly working on and it's absolutely taken care of right with a full rebuild, no rust, stripped and painted back to doeskin tan and slightly modified to just be better. It's still a "daily" standard old beater but it's definitely something I can take to a car show. Rn I'm prepping for a 5.3 swap from my 400,000 mile 2000 Suburban that I got when I was living in Montana. I'm sure it'll be fine.
@@theredtruckyt1193 Not to mention if you don't mind rust. If you live in the rust belt, must of these trucks are long gone..........disintegrated and returned to the earth.
I got a friend who has like 5 of them😂
Hey brother, I'm the proud owner of the last 1998 GMC 1500 that came off the assembly line. The last OBS ever produced was a single cab long box in the 5 L V8 setup with an automatic transmission. She has a manufacturer date of 04/98!
Thank you so much for talking about how easily you can acquire parts for OBS. I've only put about $3,000 worth of Maintenance into it over the 6 years that I've owned it. We gave her a full block and rad flush last year. Runs like new!
There were 1998 GM half ton trucks titled as 1999 model years.I seen a couple this way
@Toolaholic7 Good point. Those however, are even rarer than mine. The cutoff year was "officially" 1998 on paper but 1999 was a strange transition period for GM and Chevrolet. It seems like they were made with leftovers.
@@thejayman1886 They are leftover
Have several models from shortbed stepside, longbed single cab, two door Tahoe
And of course a Suburban, love em all….😊💯👍😎👌✌🏻✌🏻
@@thejayman1886Yea man, I’ve got an obs yukon that says it’s a 99 but bc of that transition period I always just say it’s a 98 to avoid confusion
10 years ago the square bodies were cheap, finding a short bed 4WD with a stick and reasonably little rust for under $10 k now is a unicorn. People know what they have and they know other people want that.
The OBS and Bullnose trucks are considered two different generation trucks. As well as the 87-91 (bricknose) the bullnose fords were basically all carbureted until 85/86 where you could get a 302 with EFI as an Option. 87-91 had a few carb motors such as the 460 in early years and I believe the 351 still had the high output option which gave a different cam and 4bbl Holley from factory. The zf5 speed and e4od were also introduced in the bricknose era. 92-96(97 heavy duty trucks) had a lot of modern equipment such as EFI standard on all engines except the IDI. 4 speed auto matics were the main transmission choice but you could still get the zf5/m5od or a c6 auto matic. I think the granny 4 speed was still an option as well just rarely used. Anyway the names of the body style indicate the year 80-86 bullnose, 87-91 bricknose, 92-97 aeronose or OBS.
came to the comment section looking for this. cut me open i bleed ford blue !
can't believe I watched the whole thing when i live in Brazil. Looking foward for the small trucks video!
I just got a '83 F250 302 2wd w/4spd running for DIRT cheap. All new fuel system from tank to carb, and all new cooling system from RockAuto for around $600. The truck sat for 8 years and acquired it for free. Now i drive it every day and have a 351 I also happened to acquire for free sitting in the garage awaiting a rebuild.
Huge tip to anyone who gets an older truck from this list, LMCtruck has quite literally EVERYTHING interior related for most of these vehicles for very good prices
Crazy seeing a first gen ram on a list like this XD, I can %100 agree mine has been a BREEZE to work on. The 318 is a stout little engine and I have no issues getting on the highway or doing anything else. These things also had AMAZING frame protection, my frame is still rust free 40 years later. The biggest thing I'd say about them though; if your in the market for one, get one a litttttle bit older. Mine is an 84 and is FULL of emissions equipment which sucks but its not the worst part, thats the vacuum stuff. The vacuum lines on these trucks are MADDENING. But otherwise its been an amazing truck. They really were great at just suiting every need. They make great muscle/street trucks, they have the same engines as the classic muscle cars so you can drag race them easily, the Cummins can pull a house down if you point at it, and the slant 6 is more than enough for a weekend/daily cruiser. Sorry for this long comment I just love my truck XD
Would you consider doing a top cheap trucks with best towing capacity? I wanna tow a camper but don't wanna spend 70k on a shiny bucket of computers
I had a Ford short bed with a 300 in it that was originally built for dirt track racing. You could beat on it as much as you wanted, and it bever skipped a beat. That thing was a little scary at times. I loved it. That's one I really wish I would have never gotten rid of.
DUDE I OWN A 85 c10 CHEVY and i swear on no faith and pure “old is better” mentality even tho i don’t agree with boomers. That truck has always always always got me to my destination
Sometimes i tear up from the thought of the messed up things i did to it bc of how old it was but it only makes me wanna buy the CHEAP BUT QUALITY parts for it. And it STILL RUNS. ITS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I BEEN WITH IT FOR 3 YEARS NOW. That truck and that era of trucks deserves the world and i’m glad i have old family folks that can tell me what it needs when it’s half broken for my journey. Thier knowledge of these beast of fuel and combustion really makes you appreciate the tradition these old dudes carry in thier minds to keep these machines alive as cultural enough to STILL HAVE THESE PARTS. I’m simply astonished as always
First one of these lists I’ve ever seen that is actually on point. Good job 👍🏼
Just make sure you don't get a truck that the previous owner did cobble up repairs and be sure that if you get one from a different state make sure it is not Kentucky because they only make cobble up repairs❤
I had a ‘78 Ford F150 Ranger Lariat with a 460 for the past 8 years and sold it recently to my cousin, those old Fords are so fun to drive.
Okay so fair warning with the first gen tundra, the frames are well known to rust out. There is still active recall on them though that you can the frames replaced for free. I still see it to this day.
BUT holy hell they are reliable. My v6 2WD 5 speed got up to 580k just between me and my grandfather.
Downsides:
Slow as hell
Meh on mpg
LBJ’s are prone to fail if not replaced oem
Upsides!
Still cheap
Still fun
No rust are still out there!
Tons of parts available and very beginner friendly.
I’ve got a 2001 Toyota Tundra that, when I first acquired it, only had ~170,000 miles on it. It’s an automatic that hasn’t had transmission problems, since I’ve had it anyway, and it’s 4.7L V8 is a powerhouse that keeps on trucking no matter what! I’ve put a little over 30,000 miles on it myself since then and it does me justice. It has always been quite rusty underneath, but it’s hardly a problem compared to how far it’s gone for my sake. I take good care of it and it pays me back with being very reliable. I know that it’ll rust out long before its engine ever fails me, but hopefully that day is long off. I hope to find a relatively cheap, simple but tough, and (most importantly) reliable truck of its caliber before that day comes.
i hjad a 2001 tundra,
kept chewing thru brakes. finally found out
they put the truck chassis on a sedan body and
DID NOT upgrade the brake system. toyota kept
it in the DL, so they could claim ignorance. ende up with a 4 k
upgrade via the dealer. they refused any $. 2 weeks later i get t boned and ussa
only paid out 3700. the truck handled like a car and i loved it, but the interior was for shit.
interior panels failed. replaced door handles and glove box and grab bars. w2ill never
go toyot agan.
they had a recall on this issue. brought it back to the dealer. refused to do anythinf]
about it. will NEVER buy new again... my next truck will be an '86 chevy 4 by 4, 4 on the
floor. i want a stick and a caRB,
@@john-o1g9p Sorry to hear about all that. While it’s not my experience I can see why you’d never go back. How does the 86 Chevy handle?
I never expected the first one to be a truck I actually own, gives me a lot of confidence that I made the right choice
My 06 gmc is so easy to work on that it makes me mad working on anything else easy diagnostics everything comes apart like a dream and the only 4.8/5.3/6.0 trucks ever without the cylinder deactivate. Not to mention the aftermarket capability is crazy
owner of a 1998 manual 4x4 t100 with 500,000 miles on it. amazing truck, just keep the rust away. i'm in the northeast, but i bought it from Arkansas. it's loaded with fluidfilm. aside from rust, they don't die.
My first truck was a '96 T100 and then I upgraded to an '02 Tundra, both were more than $5k when I bought them and both sell for even more today. My $5k truck is the '07 Tundra that I rescued in 2017 ... these Toyota trucks are boringly reliable, and that's a good thing because they aren't the cheapest trucks to repair.
Squarebody is one my favorite truck but all is this video are great trucks that's better than these plastic garbage that's made
When I was working as a mechanic I used to love seeing GM pickups come through the door. Easy to work on and never an issue with parts.
Thanks for the video; there's definitely some good information there. Just one small thing... take a look at the difference between "break" and "brake." That aside, keep up the great work.
Love my 1995 7.3L F250. Bought it for $5,000.
They're going up
I got a 2003 flatbed Arrow dually convert with 88k miles for $10k last year.
Pull a house down.
@@JoshJones-37334 I had a 90 idi ext cab with the 5speed mani and mani tcae. 4.56 gears with 4inch skyjacker lift and 35s. Miss that truck
Couldn't have said it better myself. Had 5 squares over the years and taking the '94 K1500 to buy the 6th this weekend.
Love my 91 single cab, shortbed stepside K1500,
5 speed manual, v6.💯👍😎👌✌🏻✌🏻
I love my 2015 RAM single cab I bought used for $10k, serves me well, but I'd kill to have an OBS Ford or a 1st or 2nd gen Dodge
You can't get a square body chevy for under 5k anymore 😂
Ive seen them go cheaper than 5, it's uncommon for one in good shape to be that price but I've seen a lot of inline 6s and 307 powered trucks with a quadrajet go for around that price in pretty fair shape.
just got one last week for 3500 im pretty lucky engine just rebuild and new tires
I see decent running Squarebodies for $4,000 in rural areas
Lies I got my crew cab long bed 81 for free running
Bought a brick nose f150 about a year ago, paid 6000 for it. Put about another 3000 in it. Probably could’ve bought something newer but you can’t beat the looks of trucks from the early 90’s
Keeping old stuff on the road is mostly worth it imo. Less complicated and old stuff just looks so much better. lol
$6,000 it better be mint but that's cool. 4 speed, 5 speed, auto? 5.0, 4.9 or 5.8?
@@GiuseppeSimonetti 302 5 speed 4x4, live in the rust belt and it only has one spot of rust that’s easy to fix paid extra for it being clean in my area
Vortex motor
picked up a 95 dodge dakota w/ 120k miles last summer with the 318 magnum for $3k. thing is built like a tank and easily gets me through the MN winters
The 440 was in some of the W150s or D150s but was really popular in the Ramchargers. If you find one with an LA 318 like I have, you won't have but 175 hp stock, but it is considered one of the most dependable engines ever made and were made to be workhorses. Some people even attached snow plows during the winter. Their reputation is highly favored in the automotive world.
If you purchase a W150, especially mid to late 80's, you will have tremendous trouble finding parts that were not streamlined across multiple models. Water pumps, power steering pumps, and and some of the most common components are fine. But if you need to find something that's not normal wear or finding certain specs may be troublesome.
About time to restore my 75 C20 that I bought in 1980 for $800 with right at 100k on the clock. It does need the typical rusted out cab corners and rocker panels which I don't understand why they rotted out. Never run in salt or weird stuff, it just happened. I had rebuilt a 350 to 355 but I used a set of smog heads which was a huge mistake. Terrible mpg when I had it in my 82 1/2 ton van, even worse when I put it into my 75 C20 w 3.73 gears and TH350. Pulling a 10k lbs trailer I was getting around 6mpg. Guess that wasn't too crazy considering the weight and dropping to second on hills. Runs ok but maybe a better set of heads would make it better. Or put the spare 454 sitting in storage. Would prefer to get a L96 and 6L90 trans if I find one at a decent price. Rebuilding the 6L90 should be easy enough to do, mainly a new valve body to fix any slop in the valve. If IIRC the make a stand-alone computer and harness. It's only a computer, just need to delete any garbage displacement on demand junk.
Huge reminder... Chevy OBS is a hot vehicle that gets stolen a lot. it has a relay issue where you can trip it to start the vehicle without a key. so id say stray away from the OBS.
97-03 f150. Absolute tanks. All 3 of the engines are solid. It's not that easy to work, but it's amazing for a cheap work truck.
Seen the crash test footage? Scary bad.
are you saying the 5.4 is a solid motor?/???? my dood put down the pipe
@@skwissgaar_skwigelf_kdz3251the 2 valve 5.4 is amazing! It’s the 3 valve 5.4 that sucks
@@Frusie yea , no.
@@skwissgaar_skwigelf_kdz3251 what do you mean no? They’re just as good as the 4.6’s.
the squarebody were the King of all Trucks back in the day doesn't matter what engine mod it can be swamp the truck can take any engine to keep it running like a 2 stroke weedeater motor to a big semi truck CAT diesel engine the SquareBody Chevy's is the truck that made the real American that God bless those Squarebody.
What about the inline six engine's of GM they are very good engine's the 230 250 292 and the GMC 270 and 306 cubic inches six cylinders and the 216 235 and 261 Chevy engine's❤
OBS Chevys for the frickin win man. Have a '92 we're working on which is absolutely *shot*. Aside from the truck itself, we've bought all the replacement parts so far for less than a grand, I don't even think we've hit $800 yet. (Not counting mods). That includes a new frame and bed. We also have to replace the suspension. We would probably be better off buying another one for $1,500 but the one we have has sentimental value. We also have a squarebody dump truck that's a slow work in progress. And agreed, Small Block Chevy's are the best. Reliable as all getout and easy to work on. I'm very much a GM guy lol. (I like Mopar too though!)
I still drive a 1964 IH scout, i cant afford to get rid of and get something else, the prices are insane now, i used to pick up scouts for $500-$1000 in highschool 20 year ago, now they are nuts
And that's why i bought mu camark abd foxbody, cuz they're going way up in value rn
@@theredtruckyt1193 I don't really know what your talking about but I'm to glad your happy! What it a fox bat? You mean fastback?
I just gave away a camper top and a frame to a 66 scout. My dad had 2 of em and gave them away about 40 years ago. How do you find parts?
@@mandovapehater6988 i don't need much in the way of parts yet other then, I had to make some lift off door hinges cause IH wanted $550 for a set with bolts and backing plates😂 other then that I haven't really needed parts the thing only has 49,000 original miles somehow
I'll be that guy. Big/small block is a GM term. Ford has engine families. But nice video, new subscriber.
Now I know what’s gonna be my next pickup truck
Don't yank out that 6.2 diesel. That's pure gold.
On the first gen dodges in 1988 they replaced the slant 6 with a v6 and added throttle body injection. The v6 is just a 318 with 2 less cylinders so it is about as reliable as a 318.
Fair warning with the t100, the 3.0’s have headgasket issues, and overall are not as refined as the later 3.4 in the tundra.
BUT my grandfather had one that got up to 700k! They are tanks
Downsides:
Everything same as the tundra PLUS
3.0 hg issues
Parts are a bit harder to find
Little aftermarket support
Even slower and more boring
Upsides!
Comes with the 22re, and they are bullet proof
Still cheap
Still fun
A lot of t100s have the tried and true 3.4
@ ah I was more familiar with them having the 3.0. Thanks for the cottection!
Thank you sir. I needed this info.
Yeah, well, I agree with you on the manual transmissions. A clutch in a properly driven stick will go at least a 100k, if not more under the right feet. As for square body Chevys, they were terrible rust buckets. There pretty much aren't any left above about the 38th parallel, which drives the price way up on the southern survivors.
Not sure why you're constantly advocating scrapping throttle body injections. They were simple, reliable, usually fitted to proven Detroit iron engines, and drivability was excellent. I'd take a late 80s, early 90s TBI which is factory fitted to a standard small block Chevy any day of the week and twice on Sunday over some retrofitted, cobbled up carburetor POS. Plus, there's only about a million videos on UA-cam on how to troubleshoot and repair them, if and when you ever have a problem.
Anyway, my pick would be the late 80s to mid-90s GMs with the throttle body. They ran great, were cheap to fix, and weren't near as rusty as the square bodies. Also Fords of that vintage and mid-90s Dodges. I bought a 95 Dodge out of some guy's back yard for 200 bucks. Spent about a thousand bucks to get it roadworthy and it's been my daily driver for the past five years. Runs great.
The older automatic transmissions are simple enough to rebuild at home, and don't cost a crazy amount at a trans shop. A Squarebody with SM465 or a Ford/Dodge with the NP435 are good manuals, but lack overdrive
This video was VERY nicely made!
I have a 97 Chevy 1500 WT with a V6. It. Has AC and a radio. Fun to drive, cheap to keep.
I got my 78 F150 for 5k this year :) been driving it all year 351m/c6 9”. On white walls 😎
I daily drive a 91 Chevy k1500, single cab long bed. 350 tbi, 700r4 trans. Almost 222,000 miles on her and she's still taking every I throw
I had a 79 short bed Chevy that I bought for my dad it was a 3-speed on the column straight 6 and I love that truck it was awesome to drive
Square bodies are gold and they're very popular.
If only they still made slant 6s
the chevy straight 6's are NOT a pile of crap, they are great for work trucks due to the low rpm torque and they are super reliable. They may not be as desirable for hot rod builds, but they are high quality motors for utility use.
Yes, the Ford "300" deserves praise, but Chevy 250/292 are also good. I think Jeep 4.0 would be a good swap into a Dodge D150, but the 3.9 v6 is okay
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
I had an 88' OBS with a 4.3, there was a slight leak of coolant (I was unaware of this) ran the truck for 4 months without coolant and had no issues.
Lemmie guess, freeze plug
My 84 D20 Blazer is the last vehicle id sell. 6.2 diesel.. low power. slow, fabulous.
I still drive a 2000 Chevy 1500 vortex 4.3 V6. Love my my truck been driving it for over 15 years. Even if I get a new truck. I'm keeping her
Don't forget the Toyota pickup from Top Gear
Soo small trucks are getting they're own video... if I included them this list would be sook freaking long... like 20 minutes cuz pretty much all small trucks are good until about 2005 where they got stuffed with electronics after that...
They're stupid expensive now. Amazing vehicles, but those first and second gen Tacoma are basically unavailable for under 10k.
THIS is what youtube was meant for; glad to see there's still genuine content that is _actually_ entertaining being made still now in 2024
Great video - love the sarcasm; I've personally been wanting a truck, and I've been thinking an old f100, and with whatever I get - truck or otherwise - I want a manual. But Awesome video... entertaining as hell... much praise for the yt content that deserves it 🙌 🙌 🙌
I appreciate it a lot.
I’m 17 and my first truck was a 1986 c10 and it’s great
I personally own a '98 chevy k1500 single cab still runs as far as I know
“As far as I know” you don’t know if it runs or not?
@Frusie last time I knew it ran was 2017
The Dodge D150 is underrated, but the Squarebody Chevy will gain value - big nostalgia factor
Own a 86 f250 4x4 6.9idi c6 exteneded cab. Simple reliable and never let me down. Owned it for a long time.
My 03 tundra is highly modified and highly reliable
the frist and second gen doges are starting toget up there in price as well as the OBS fords. I can confirm that the obs ford with a inline 6 are rather bullet proof. When I got mine, the coolant very well may of been over 10 years old. Then the rad wasn't really that full. It now has some sensor that doesn't work right but runs fine. Check engine light just pops up now and again says hello for a bit and then goes away. Try and avoid the M5OD manual transmission its the weak link. Same thing thats in a Miata but built up.
I hoped on craigslist right after and found all of those trucks being priced $4,000-$12,000 in Mississippi with search radius off 177 miles
Love this vid keep up the good work
May be a local culture thing, but the first gen tundras are really popular to build/mod around me (southern Indiana) very good trucks.
My favorite. Square body !
2nd gen Dodge bodies tend to rust easier, it is like the steel they used for a few years was lower quality. If you can get one with the 24 valve Cummins and 5 speed they are good.
cool video man!!
Love my 1971 Chevy C20 and my 1985 K10 square body. Both have chevy small blocks.
I had a T100 from new. It was like using a deer as a pack animal. The body panel would dent loading my tool belt from the side. I highly dont recommend if you carry anything more than a surf board
Stick shifts are best, but some of those older auto transmissions are stupid cheap to rebuild. My 94 Ford EOD is something like $250 to rebuild…
I used to like anything from the top three,now none of them have anything remotely appealing.
Just yesterday 12/5/24 my friend picked up a 2000(single extended cab door) 1500 Silverado for what I thought was $1000 but I didn’t have my glasses on.
He said look again at the bill of sale, $100.00! I was so envious! Running V8, heater coil broke but a boxed new one was in the back. He’s talking about fixing it up, I said I’d leave it as is and get a custom plate saying, “1hndred”😊
@c5cpe $100??? That things got a 4.8 or a 5.3 too... just in parts there's like 2k worth right there
The bullnoses also came with the 360 FE
And 460.
Good video. Definitely agree!
WOOOOOO FIRST GEN RAM!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I miss my 2.2 89 dak. I have a 2001 ram 1500
And love it, but i miss my dak
Im from st.Louis but in texas tundras and chevys are very popular people in texas buy trd tundra or a z71 they even race them or off road them so there for there really not boring
u can buy fender for the 1980's dodge too
On the first one you didn't mention the excessive rust of the older Toyotas including the tundra and even the Sequoia and T100, but the one that suffered the worst from this would be the Toyota Tacoma with some literally resting in half worse than any other GMT 400
I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT V6, and that thing just keeps on running. Told myself 10 years ago when it dies, I'll buy a new one at this rate it'll be me before it :)
Rangers are built different, I dont think I've ever seen one die. They always rot out with like 400k on them before the engine or trans has any problems...
What about the early 2000's Dakotas? My dad has one with the v6 thats basically a v8 but hasnt broken down yet even after like 100-175k miles.
Next video, getting uploaded tomorrow
@theredtruckyt1193 Oh sweet. Also thanks for actually for replying to your comments, nobody does that anymore
@thatstukaguycole29 i try, this video basically blew up my phone so reading every one is taking quite a bit of time, but I try my best.
Gen 2 and 3 Ford Rangers! Although they're not cheap anymore, not by a longshot but tick all the boxes
Small trucks are the Next video, getting uploaded tomorrow.
Can you do top 5 cheapest trucks for towing 10,000 lbs ? Id love to pickup and old truck to haul stuff but its rough to find info.
A lot of the trucks listed can tow 10k pounds
@@Frusie to my knowledge, the Toyota's can't until well past 2010s. Ram need to be 3500s , same goes for silverados , and Fords need need to be 350. If I could get away with a 250 or 2500 range it be good to know. Basically , yes trucks on this list can tow IF they are the right model /options, which is the breakdown im looking for.
@@St34mPunkPrivateer 1980-1997 Ford f250 with the 6 cylinder Gas engine can tow 10k pounds, and you can get em for 5k
To fix the cluch in my 1999 silverado and slave cyclinder was as much as a new transmision. You have to open the gear box to get to it. Wish id spent 1k more for the auto after the 3rd clutch.
I had to replace the trans on my 2000, yeah the nv3500s have the throw out bearing and slave cylinder is one assembly. Its like that on most cars with the ls and it's pretty common on modern cars. Its not like toyotas Hondas and hyndais where it has an external slave, with a clutch fork.
Why doesn't anyone ever mention the 87-91 Bricknose Ford trucks?
I forget people call them a brick lol
@@theredtruckyt1193 Haha. Yeah. The 87-91 had better interiors than the 80-86. I have three Bricknose trucks, and a Bullnose truck. Personally, I like the Bullnose body, Bricknose Interior, and the OBS 7.3 Powerstroke option. My daily is a fully restored 88 F250 Supercab 7.3idi 4wd
Yup squarebody are the best ever. To get a decent one now is expensive.
People of NewHampshire treat trucks like gold. You can go on marketplace and find a rusted out f150 that is no where near passing inspection for 10 grand. 😂
Unfortunately for Midwesterners you can get all these trucks for under 5k but they all have over 250k miles and absolutely covered in rust
I own a 94 chevy and BOY. It's almost as easy to fix as a square body due to the fact they are very similar. But i got it cheap for like 7,500 and it was worth every cent. My friend has had multiple chevy square body's and those are super good too. Just be very very very VERY careful when buying a old truck. You gotta know what to look for and please do research! But overall the chevy small block will run and work amazingly as long as you don't torture it 24/7 and do oil changes often.
Yep, 100% agree. I have a basic car maintenance video in the works that actually covers, the basics and things a little more involved too like maintenence procedures when you have, direct injection, a flat tappet cam, auto vs manual etc...
Man of culture I see
You too clearly. By the profile I'm guessing 11b?
I daily the first gen, the OBS Ford and OBS Chevy😂
Pretty hard to find a Tundra for under 5k, a descent one is 10k+
3:43 The names are mostly to do with the front end shape. There's three different generations built on that same "OBS" platform: Bullnose (1980-86), Bricknose (1987-1991), and Aeronose (1992-1996/7). Each one has a bit more differences than just the bodywork though, so do your research before choosing.
1:45 bro shows ultra-rare, hyper-collectible and super-expensive Little Red Express in cheap truck list
Currently rebuilding a 6.9idi, plan to make it run off Oil (optional)
I’m not a fan of the 3.4 on the Toyota t100, I wish the Toyota Tundra had a manual transmission.
As far as I know 6.9 idis don’t have cavitation issues. The thinner wall on the 7.3 idi cause the issue.
Edit: I disagree with gmt800 disqualify. Maybe if you’re a boomer who can trace anything, but I have no problem fixing mine.
Youre 100% correct. I think the 6.9 also had a lower compression ratio too... dont quote me on that
