When I was living in Murfreesboro Tennessee, I really wish I could have gotten a little truck like this to drive back and forth to work with. My car, got hit down there, and even though I used it to go to work with, it really wasn't the most safest thing to drive down there, it was all I had. And running into a little truck like this would be the best thing to happen to me and to get for something to replace my car with.
I bought one just like this new in Jan of 77 had her for 9 years AFTER I installed a friggen Capri Merc. V6 with a 5 speed manual. Trans she ran like a raped ape for the next 3 years. She was fun sexy and fast. Thanks for your story 👍 subscribe too
Ran like a scared gorilla. I still would keep the 4 cylinder engine. I like 4 cylinder engines, easy on gas and tires, basic transportation, what the hey, what else would ya need?
Correct. Ford, Nissan, Mazda, Jaguar,Volvo, Austin Martin and Kia are all tied in with Ford Motor Corporation. These little Courriers were excellent little trucks. Loved them.
@@danbasta3677 I had one as a company truck in the '80s. Noisy, rough-riding and tinny, but it ALWAYS started no matter how cold it was and never broke down.
@@steverandall5814 Yes, they do. In the northern part of the country, they wouldn't last very long because of the ice and snow and the salt they put on the roads. In the South whare winters are much more milder and not much salt at all on the roads, these little trucks would last a great deal of many years as long as you drove them respectfully, and maintained them properly, by that, changing the oil, oil filter, gasoline filter, air filter and keeping the suspension greesed approprately, you'll do well. Even better to paint the chassis and floorboards along with the frame to keep it preserved as much as possible. Maintenance goes an awful long way.
And now for the valve adjustment......Super clean 76! wow....
I just got a 1980 Ford courier that is in that good of shape that I am doing the same thing to good job brother
Beautiful looking little truck there. Your very fortunate getting it. If only I had such luck.

Insanely cool. I'd buy that in a heartbeat!
So would I! I needed a little truck like this when I was living in Murfreesboro Tennessee.
Very nice survivor. I had three, a '74, '77, and '84. Great trucks, simple to work on, very cheap to run.
nice find
Nice video mate. 👍Never seen an auto courier. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺

Curious if you ever sold your truck?
It's actually a Mazda truck, rebadged as a Ford Courier.

@@steverandall5814I still would drive it, I love these little trucks.
@@danbasta3677 They're about as simple as they come. Not especially comfortable, but they run and run and run.
