HoonTruck: Say Hello To My 1965 Ford F100
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- It's time to introduce the newest Hooniverse project vehicle. Say hello to HoonTruck; my "new" 1965 Ford F100. She's a strong runner in decent shape, and she's going to get some work done and minor upgrades along the way.
This video provides a bit of insight into the truck itself and gives a glimpse at what we have in store for the future.
The plan here is that I'm going to do most of the work myself. I'm not a great wrench, but I'm going to learn on HoonTruck. If I screw something up, we'll show you that, but hopefully we'll also inspire some of you to pick up your own wrenches along the way...

Makes me miss my '59 Apache. The thing barely ran, but I loved it.
I built that truck at the Milpitas plant when I went to work there in the summer of '64. Lots of memories....good and bad! Great trucks; especially the F100's as that was the only model with the then-new Twin I Beam suspension. Take care of her.
Glovebox speaker ftw!
Going to be interesting to see your progress. I have a '66 with the 352.. similar colour combo.
There is nothing "really crappy" about the ol' Sealed Beam headlights. They produce a better beam than composite halogen lights. Only HID and maybe LED outperform them...
You want really crappy headlights? Any car from the 90s with plastic headlights. THOSE are "really crappy".

I agree I have a 99 camry and the headlights are super shitty
Very, very nice truck. Cheers from a Canadian fan.
Jeff,
The truck looks great!!! Way better than I was expecting after hearing you talk about it on the podcast.
Looking forward to the updates and the journey of you becoming a master mechanic!
I daily a 1967 Ford F-250 LWB with a 352 (don't ask me why). So I am very excited to see how this truck develops and all the issues that arise (I have seen most of them).
I have the exact same truck,love it! Merica!
Absolutely love it. Looking forward to seeing the work you do on it.
Awesome pickup truck.
Sweet truck. I am a straight six kind of guy but you can't go wrong with an FE.
Being from the same era as that truck I had more than a little experience with that one specifically and many both older and newer. I'd bet the farm that's a 360 CID engine, by FAR the most common of the day. I drove them as service vehicles, and we did our own (minor) maintenance on "our" trucks.
Reminds me my father ,use to drive in Managla Dam when i was 7 years old
I can't wait to see what's in store for ol' HoonTruck. It has been a great story since the beginning. I just lost my best friend in a crash, and the one thing we shared was our love of Fords and cars in general. So great content from you and other automotive youtubers really does help me think off the good times we had, not the bad now. Also, can I put my vote in for Jeff Glucker for Top Gear?
Sorry about your loss dude, that's terrible.
It is. He would have loved the Hoontruck. But thankfully cars can sometimes sooth car lovers souls, and that is why I love this hobby so much.
Awesome video all around, looking forward to your progress, Jeff.
I just discovered your show and I like it. I'm a big fan of the mid sixties F100's. Yours appears to be in very nice shape, just needs a little TLC. I look forward to future videos.
Nice old ford 👍🏼
A friends of mine's dad had a blue '63 F-100,we used to go to panama city beach in that old truck.
Good luck i like your choice of upgrading the old girl the 65grill is
My favorite uhaul color
Seem ya one thing a bout the west coast
Cars last the old fe
Motors sound the best
Sweet Whip.
Well you told me too, so key of the left is the Porsche-esque feature.
I have an original 1965 f250 with all original parts a 390 cc v8 and a 4 speed Manual in beautiful conditions
Waiting for the next video of this truck is killing me.
Post more!! Just bought a 70 f100!
Also, don't throw that right fender away! It's still very useable and a bodyman can straighten it right up. In fact, it's much better than the fenders on my truck.
Jeff you bought a truck because MURICA
fuck yeah?
TRUCK YEAHHH!!
Olds Pwr I don't know man, my academic scholarship and ensuing college degree might disagree with you... maybe you could just lighten up a little?
@@Olds_Pwr “have you seen how many non ford/gm vehicles are not on American soil these days” what are you trying to say lol
had one just like this in 1971 with 249/6 cyc 3 ot the tree loved should have kept it
Fouth time I've seen this video. I wonder if I'm beginning to become obsessed with these F100's. Nah.
I got a 65. 352 fe. I don't even cluch it from 2nd to 3rd. 3rd to 4th is a pain though
292 y block is in mine have 2 4x4 1 half ton 63 which is different is little ways from 65 on metal stamping rear bed on 63 looked like 57 thru 60 model fleet side beds. You have 65 bed can tell by metal stamping on rear quarter wheel opening. also the older 1st generation original frame had a different rear axel placement .
keep the raggedy Dual stereo. just add a 4channel amp with front speakrs under the dash and rear speakers under the seat
i like the junky roadkill style look.
I would love to have a 1966 F100 long bed, thats my dream truck, hopefully it can be my first vehicle depending on the insurance :/
I drove my '65 for 23 years.
....and the first and only year of the square grille trim.
I love the truck. But I keep thinking U-HAUL !!
Just my opinion, I know from experience because I have restored a few 1969, through 1972, and I love those big steering wheels, with the chrome " Ford " logos, so seek ebay
You don't need to replace the steering wheel to have a horn... However, I'll gladly take your old one off your hands if you don't want it. I need one for my '66.
Thanks a lot man, I've sent you an email!
my hood sits too high in the rear as well, have you found a fix?
this is probably the 4th time ive watched this vid and i love the truck and also what is the song you have playing in the background
+Peter Grofik New truck vid coming soon. I forget the song name, but it's a royalty free song on UA-cam - artist is Otis McDonald. -JG
+The Hooniverse Sweet i've been waiting for a new vid, and thanks for giving me the artist name i found the song already
it should be obvious if it's a 390... 390= hails balls... cool video.
When you upgrade the lights, I really suggest upgrading the headlight wiring. Stock headlight wiring before OEMs started putting in relays _sucked dick_. Voltage at the battery on my 1993 Volvo 240 at idle is 13.7v. At the headlight connector? 11.8v. That's a HUGE drop in luminescence. First upgrade I'm doing to the lights (beside glass E-Code lenses) is relays and much heavier gauge wiring to eliminate the voltage drop.
Edit:
Talk to this guy - danielsternlighting.com/
With LED replacements, the current draw is reduced so much that the stock wiring -should- be sufficient. Those old Sealed Beam lights suck a lot of juice.
2300 n 65 customcab nice
Who does the background music on this episode? ...it's perfect for the vid..
Bonnie Kelly Found it in the Royalty Free section of UA-cam music... Don't remember exactly who it is though, sorry - JG
thanks.
Hey man??! How long is your stroke-length??
I believe it's 3.50 - This has the 352 FE in it.
WHERE can i get that book he has i need to fix my inside door handles of my f100
LMC Truck
wow 4 on the floor, good shit usually with these you get 3 on the tree
+Lamb chop Yeah I do love that 4th gear, especially when I take it on the highway... a 5th would be even better.
time for a full coyote drivetrain swap
The Hooniverse you could get your 5th gear if you swap a transmission from an 80's truck....would probably have to put in all new clutch stuff....will be hydraulic...not mechanical
@@christophermay4366 Course you could always get a two speed rear axle to be very period correct. :D
i am need for some information, i own a 1965 ford f100 with a 352 automatic my flex plex needs to be replaced my question is do these trucks come with a seperator plate? or another name for it is a flex plate cover. also can i put it together with out one? please contact me back. thank you
I've read you need the separator plate so the starter mounts correctly.
what is the bluetooth stereo that looks old school called ?
Check out ClassicCarStereos.com - I think the brand is AutoSound
You never need first gear unless you are hauling a huge load. You should pull that v8 and put in a 300.
678friedbed why would I get rid of the V8? --JG
The 300 straight 6 can produce a heck of a lot of horse power. They are stronger, last longer and is something different then the norm. Comp cams can build you a custom cam for almost the same price as an off the shelf. And Clifford performance builds makes some really good straight 6 performance parts. Or you can buy a turn key 300 from them that they say puts out 600 hp
678friedbed ok... good answer! Now I'm googling all sorts of modded 300s, haha - JG
Also with the 300 having a life span from 65 to 96 you can go down the the junk yard and get parts for it anywhere also the block is the same from 65 to 96 so a 96 fuel injection will bolt up to a 65 300 so there is no worries as to will this part work on my 300. The list can go on and on of reason why.
Oh and the 300 is still considered a big block
put a 1UZ-FE V8 in it! it's gonna be awesome
Whaaat? You mean that puny Lexus v8? That would be a lot of work for a motor that produces much less torque.
Was it common for these trucks to come with an 8 lug??..ive searched high and low with 0 luck..
No, the F100 has 5 lugs. Perhaps the heavier duty versions have 8 lugs. But all the F100s are 5 lugs
@@TheHooniverse what about a conversion? I heard the f350 and above had 8 lug but I don't know if it even fits there's not a ton of info..i know for sure it's a f100
what is the radio you mentioned? thanks
Matthew Binzer Retrosound - JG
thank you!
My god, whats with the music? My ears say ouch!
How much you get it for?
just over 3k
Jeff Glucker Damn... mine might be worth more than i thought....
Ok you've had a month . I think it's time for an update!
rods Machineshop being edited as we speak - nearly done, other projects keep jumping in the way.
The Hooniverse
Can't wait! I like your editing style . you deserve more views for sure.
intro song?
Nice Bro! But I prefer my 1960 ford F100 that has been with me for the last 20 years!
Key location
I'm building a Ford F100 for that reason too. To be different. Chevys are a dime a dozen. Nothing wrong with that, I've had Chevys my whole life, but I'm bored with them
Please don't put a chevy motor in it. Please keep it in the Ford family/ I can't stand it when people put chevys in those old Fords.
An LS swap in a Ford is a sin.
California is filled with Karens. They’ve been cultivating Karens here in the public school systems here for decades. They want an army of Karens here to help them with their police state. Having neighbor fear their neighbors is just the kind of conditions they revel in.

I thought ford made a 351???
+kyle monson they do... and a 352 from the FE family of engines. This one was used in trucks. -JG
i have a 71 f100 and it has a 351?
+kyle monson It should have either a 360 or a 390 if it has its original V8. If it has a 351, then that was swapped in.
+kyle monson I have a 71 short bed but mine is a 302. I have an aluminum Italian made DOHC 4.6 that I pulled out of a Lincoln mark VIII that's going to go in though. So much room under the hood I figure why not go twin turbo?
+The Hooniverse No. The only V8 available in 1965 was the 352 for an F-100.. The info is out there not to mention in my 65. God help the truck.
Too bad they don't make small, affordable, basic trucks anymore. Between all the auto regulations and the small dicked posers who finance their trucks pushing prices up for those who would pay cash, new trucks are too expensive, it's a joke. 50k, 60k, 70k plus...
