Going to pick up a 1972 F-250 Crewcab. Truck has 390/c6 with power steering and power brakes with the rare disk brake option. Sold new in Yuma AZ in August of 1973.
found a 70 F250 crewcab special down in pitssburg Texas years ago and sent a buddy with my truck and trailer to pick it up. 390 4spd manual with factory buckets. rarest truck i have ever owned. I lost all my trucks in a big barn fire back in 2013. had a lot of fun dragging them all back from the south .
I bought a new 1972 at the end of the model year for $4200. It was a Sport Custom, 2 dr, reg bed, 360cu in, c-6 auto, 20 gal seat tank + two 18 gal saddle tanks. Two - 60 A/C ( two windows down, 60 mph). Tires were 750 x 16's split rims. P/S, P/B. Still have the original heavy duty tire chainsI can't remember seeing any crew cabs other than Government / Forrest Service ones though. I guess I should have kept it !
I loved watching you build your high boy using a newer model frame. I have a four-door truck like what you just bought but it is a 4x4. I also have one at my house I am fixing to stretch and build put on a 2004 frame from a F-350 4x4. so there's a couple of them done on the internet one of the guys's in Canada .the one of the other guys doesn't elaborate on anything. it's a lot better fit newer drive train better suspension more available parts. hope to watch good build on this one that you do like your single cab highboy build
Well, do you want to use it? And what for? Big long trucks don’t make for good 4 wheeling. If you just want it so you can put it in your collection, then I would restomod 2wd. Clean up the rust, paint it, a/c, ps etc. but only you know what floats your boat here. 4x4 has a lot of wow factor and as long as you need to replace the bed, go long bed if you find a good long one before a short one. Lots to think about. Good find!
Resto restore. I have 72 250 restored. I love it. Know you have 2 bumps. Those 390 are good engines.. I'd freshn it up and try to find a fe Four venturie intake and run it. No point in letting it go to waste if it runs.
Do a “derelict” build like Jonathan ward does. Keep the rustic outside but redo the interior with posh, fine leather, fancy carpet and modern technological gimmickry to make it super comfy and fresh. That spacious, airy feeling inside that cab should make for quite a feeling inside!
After watching your vodeo on this truck - what i would do with it is restore it keep it orginal with some change get a 460 motor from a old lincon town car with some headers and daul exhaust as for a new paint job the body red with a white roof a nice set of chrome rims would be nice may be pick the truck up a little bit redo the seats black with the inside door panels red with a black dash pad
Awesome! These were all hand built out of 2 regular cabs. Next video on this truck will show the inside all stripped out and you can see how they put them together a little better. 👍🏻
Hey Matt! What makes this particular crew cab short box So Rare? I have a 1969 that has been with me 48 years needs kits of body love, just rust in all the typical areas doors close perfectly! And there is not one dent in any part of the truck just the rust issues bed cross piece behind cab is perfect and so are the rear corner posts, also came from Canada, does have front discs power steering A/C body line is perfect, and as stated rust in mist if the areas. Also automatic 390 with badges on front fenders. Am getting ready to do full driver restoration here in next few weeks gonna start. Wish I knew how to become you tube channel, also have a nice survivors F250 Sport Custom Camper Special also 390 long box all the stick goodies,discs Air power steering almost perfect body, great paint and Love it as My Daily Driver. And a 1967 f100 shortie 390 no power brakes no discs no chrome, paint grade needs minor Love am seeking donor parts and plan to replace my items with donor parts as opposed to new except where necessary! I do have the capability to do all the welding and body work as I have been doing cars for over 50 years. Not wanting show truck but enjoy my trucks turning heads! If you are going to not use some if the parts on this crew Bump please advise. And PS Canada trucks were all built individually fyi. Mine came from factory with full frame fish plate as the frame was cut for it's application and Ford didn't just plate the cut area! Strange. Enjoy watching you and your trucks you seem to Love them as I do! Over the years I have had many,especially in the 60s and Seventies as my fleet if company trucks. Long story there! Someday may share. Thanks for your input. Btw keep it two wheel drive, and use it as a driver, they are pretty Nice!
hi im kim and i think you should properly restore all of it because if you dont and its gone then once its gone its gone possibly 4 -ever! then you may personaly regret it i dont know but its up to you because its your own truck and nobodys but yours most of all you decide ! when ever im sure of my decisions i find im never ussualiy sorry myself ! it ussualy seems to come fairly natural for me!
Hey Matt! I have an original short box Crew Cab also! 1969 F250 390 Disc brakes, auto, Power steering, have owned it since 1973 also has the riveted extra frame from the Factory Chassis is excellent and the truck has never had a dent, doors and door pins are like new and close incredible! Sadly it has turned into a rust bucket. However I am Determined that I want to make it whole Again! You mentioned it's very rare..... what helped you to .are the decision on this? I am Very Curious.I parked it 10 years ago and was driving it daily while everyone I knew told ne to Junk it! I Couldnt!!!! Am now at a place in life to rebuild her. Need your input on parts hunting bed us gone wheel tubs back and front of box are salvable as with the rear quarters and twilight supports does have the dual tanks and a complete truck! Perhaps you can help me to find some parts I have done lots of rust buckets years ago for others and can source lots of replacement floors can. Mounts etc. And consider it worth the rebuild. Dro e this truck daily and it has been Ciast to Coast on its own wheels and had it before I met my wife it then became our go away truck and my two grown daughters grew up in it! A shirt time back I asked you how to identify my ford and found that it was made in Canada Thanks to your help! Lol mine has original Grill and front bumper both pretty excellent! Bed or cab Never had a dent nor the doors! Just rotten! If you can contact me sometime in your busy schedule, please send maybe a number and I can send you pics and share info referencing yours! Thank You Again! Nice truck make it a 2 wheel driver they are great
A fellow in the next town over has a legit 4x4 version your rig. All stock, with a slight lift and skinny tires on 16 inch rims. Such a cool rig. Many of these were USFS, Railroad,Mining,Utility Company,etc, work rigs. Glad you are going High Boy. I’d keep it reasonably retro original looks with the usual upgrades for comfort n safety!
Not that it matters I'm late to the party,,,,,but I would have said : Do as little as possible ... drive and enjoy :)) Love the ratty look and the value is worth more in the long run..
@@MattKubik1791 All good she's saved ...!!! I learned my lesson on dumping big money in cars as they are just as nice now with the original Patina and left alone.. I would have done air ride on my 67 galaxie before paint, if I was a little older and wiser at the time ..
I have one i can buy but it's only the cab, its doors, and interior. It is not in great shape pretty rusty. Will probably need a lot. What do you or anyone think would be a good price to offer for just that?
@@ethanmas4303 I don’t like to give people values. Because there are so many factors that contribute to a vehicles value that I simply can’t factor in remotely. I would offer what you feel comfortable with and go from there.
Why is it called a bump? I know an old gentleman that has one sitting in his driveway in great shape. Was thinking of see if he'd sell it. I like these old ford's just don't know a lot about them.
The raised “bump” feature extending the length of the truck is why they got that name. The later 73-79 trucks have a concave feature in the same location and those are nicknamed dent sides
@@MattKubik1791 There are endless possibilities for these old rigs, I found myself a pretty crusty 6 cylinder so I didn't feel so bad about cutting it up
I'd keep it a stock patina truck, these are so rare now! My truck also has the boxed in frame, I wondered if that was factory. My truck is almost identical, here is the playlist.... ua-cam.com/play/PLQouTWwmTQozC_zKlbzWZpcjpy1b48l-y.html
Very cool truck! I love the red. From what I can tell the extra plating on the side of the frames was factory. But some trucks have it and some do not with all different years so I am not sure what the reasoning was. The F-350 crew I just got does not have it.

Leave paint as is , bag it , with steel wheels 18 in front 20 rear , and keep engine , fix rust in floors and ride out 👍👍👍

4wd swap seems to be a pretty popular option.

Hi boy 👍. It will look cool 😎😁
Awesome! Appreciate the feedback!
Bhno ese carro vale mucho dinero de lo mejor q hizo la ford la famosa f 100....restaurela hno revioerela es un tesoro de maquina....

Brad 31 we have way more than 2 😉. Definitely wouldn’t let the 390 go to waste if we didn’t use it.
I have 3 67-72 fords but I want a crew cab so bad!

Resto mod fuel injection and high boy frame for sure
I think those trucks were produced in Mexico I saw a few when I lived in El Paso cool find
Mr. Wildwood they are in fact all hand made in Canada.
Never heard of a bump side its a fleet side but yes nice truck

HIgh-Boy 428 if it fits on a longbed frame :0
so it has a small bed on it for the crew cab is it the length of a long bed F100?
Walter Armijo no it’s longer than a regular cab long bed. The f-250 crew cabs all had the short beds the f-350 crew cabs all had long beds.
Wouldn’t waste my time with high boy and 428. I’d use 04 and up SuperDuty axles with a 7.3 diesel.
High boy it
Already underway!

Powerstroke 7 .3
Stretch frame long bed amd 4x4 460 4 speed or maybe 5 speed
Great video! Check out my build series on my '71 crew cab bump if you get a chance, it's getting a 6.7 powerstroke drivetrain.
GRAPPAHOLICS very cool. I have a wrecked 6.7 I’ve been wanting to so something like that. But not sure it will be this truck.
@@MattKubik1791 There are endless possibilities for these old rigs, I found myself a pretty crusty 6 cylinder so I didn't feel so bad about cutting it up
Factory condition with patina
You should do a give away
Turn it into a 4x4 truck and get a 12 vals cummins with a stick transmission
What's up
I'd keep it a stock patina truck, these are so rare now! My truck also has the boxed in frame, I wondered if that was factory.
My truck is almost identical, here is the playlist....

Restore it old school make it look brand new Factory
Hi
Retromod it leave the body restored upgrade the interior to today's needs power ports ,ubs, etc
Clean it up, bodywork and paint then decide on making it a 4x4. Or not
Restore back to factory
Bumpside.? What the heck is a "Bumpside?" I worked for Ford Motor Company for years. You just make up new words or what.?
It’s enthusiast slang for 67-72 ford trucks
Make it original
Couldn't handle the stupid music.watched muted.
