I fully restored a '69 F100 when I was 13...well that's when I started. Finished when I was 16 and drove it to high school. Damn solid truck, 360 with a 3 on the tree. Used it to work at the body shop just down from my mom and dads. Saved up and bought myself a new '92 Z28 my senior year. Still own that car today....I call VICTORY!
Disk brake front end wasn't standard until 73. 68-72 it was optional on the front. Might help your search! Are you going to pull a Marti report on it? I bet with the Light blue Corinthian vinyl interior its going to be a rare bird. 69s are the start of the solid crew numbers on Matri reports.
In both vids you can be heard saying “Yay! Luxury!” When the key worked. That cracks me up every time as it’s totally something I would say. Keep up the good work!
Nice truck lads , i had my f250 for 10 years . Let a buddy take it on power tour and he wrecked it on way home i was gutted. So its good to see another one back on the road . Thanks guys you rock 👍 👍 👍
Wow can't believe how smooth the truck runs, When you tried the donut as you stopped instantly I thought wow a slight lift kit on that truck would look good. But you got yourself a perfect mustang hauler.
Absolutely love it. I recently bought a ‘60 f-250 4x4 single cab and I’m having a hell of a tough time getting it running, feeling very overwhelmed. Glad you got yours running and driving!
I am totally jealous of your crew cab purchase and how good it runs with a little work. You and your team really showed your stuff on this one. Kudos to you all!!!!
1967 was the first year for the truck disc brakes,make sure you get the correct proportioning valve and there’s 2 brackets between the brake booster and firewall you will need if that truck doesn’t have them. I put 67 3/4-1 ton power disc brakes on my 66 3/4 ton camper special years ago.
Had to replace every single brake line on my 69 f250 as well. I bought prevent lines from inline tube years ago. Fitment was damn near close. Great quality.
I don't care what anyone says, that truck is beautiful. The interior and exterior styling are amazing. I wish we were still so stylish. I'd prefer a non-crew cab but I still love it.
Great video, the truck turned out great. It’s awesome that you’ve got a friend that can roll with you and is into working on stuff like you are. Always good to have a partner in crime like that. Looking forward to the progress.
I just bought some flow tech headers for my fe f100😂 welp thanks for providing the custom clearance I need! Also definitely gunna need some heat shield for my F100, 69 Fury and my 71 Dart swinger!
Thanks for the video. I LOVE the truck it's awesome. Wish I had known you were so close, would have brought you guys some BBQ and lots of sides. Craig, thanks for letting us look over your shoulder. It's rough and rowdy, but an awesome truck.👍👍👍
YOUR F250 IS AN AMAZING BEAST!!! I can not believe how great of shape it is in and nearly rust free... If that was an Iowa or Minnesota truck it would be rusted in a million pieces EXCELLENT PURCHASE 👌 👏 👍🏻
Awesome video! Love that truck almost as much as my 68 F250😊. Question though, what did you set the timing at and what setting did you put the vacuum can to? Lastly, went on heatshields website and will be buying some for my truck. Nice job. You owe Dylan and Marty some 12 packs.
Anything? You ordered "hubcraps "?now I've heard everything that stupid could bring so if it's Grannies truck yeah rusty hubcraps but never on anything else ( sorry grandma! )
Makes me miss my old '66 F100 Custom. Was standard cab, long bed, 352FE and 2WD. All of that was fine, but never did care much for the FM2 automatic. Do know those front drum brakes were next to useless; combining those with the slushbox was seriously sketchy at times. Final nail in its proverbial coffin was that, for whatever reason, that generation of the F100 was stupidly difficult to get parts for. Was still a cool old truck though!
Love that truck. Let me tell you something about them 4 speed tranny on them bump side,dent side and bull dog fords. First is used only when you're pulling a big load. Unloaded start in 2nd. It's basically a 3 speed with a extra low 1st. I grew up around them, my dad was a Ford nut, and owned.....dozens of them. My first truck was a 72 3/4 camper special, 390 automatic.
Hey Craig: Good job getting the '69 school bus F-250 back on the road... Tranny may seem pretty sketchy but it was roadsterated well... From the home of PB Blaster.... Cleveland, Ohio...
Well done, been enjoying this series and the collab with Dylan. My D200 Camper Special never had power steering - makes it a bit of a handful. Yours probably has the same tranny, NP435 with granny low -- it was used in a lot of Dodge and Ford truck applications. Mine came factory with 4.10 Dana 60 rear, not as bad as 4.56 but I still swapped it to 3.54 to make it a bit more drivable.
Man I love this truck!!! After watching the first video on Dillons channel I had to subscribe to your channel to see more. where was the place you got the truck from?
Enjoy these videos a lot, get an old Ford, get her running, and drive it to a venue. Looks like so much fun. I happen to know where there is a '70 Ford pickup sitting in the woods, complete. Hmmmm......
Hey Craig, hoped in on from Dylans tubers, great vid, love the old ford, question to for ya sir, im up in norcal an tryin to thin my herd, gotta few fords including a 1969 ford f350 with perkins diesel, was wonderin if ya might be interested by chance
I'm gonna personally say the optima batteries are very good batteries I had one in my 96 Cadillac devil for like 10 years and it powered through it for all those 10 years until it finally just quit
That driver door latch may just need some spray lube. I had a passenger side door on a 1972 F250 that the grease dried up an wouldn't latch. I used the truck just didn't use the passenger side for years and it did that very thing yours did. Not sure what you have planned but my '72 has 3.54 gears and gets a little up in rpm at 70mph but good gear ratio for hauling.
From what I can remember my grandpa found one of these old crew cab long bed fords he rebuilt it after he got it rebuilt painted running etc and when I was in my early or my mid or late teens I told him Grandpa I would like to buy it from him as soon as I was able to but for some reason he said no it's too big for me I was like what the hell kind of s*** is that. But eventually for some stupid f****** reason he sold it to my cousin and then my cousin didn't need it and then it ended up I don't even know where it is today when I found out that he sold it to my stupid cousin I was very angry. But anyways a few years later I found a 69 Ford with a 360 automatic F-250 and really bad rust damage on the roof. Amazingly it started and drove home I only bought over $800.00 in downtown San Diego. I ended up selling it because I have no money saved up to fix it eventually I would have but I regret it every day and sometimes I wish I had no pain receptors in my legs so I can rip my foot off and kick my own ass.
I'd love to see y'all get a Y block running someday. Maybe you already have, I haven't been subscribed very long, but I've always wanted to see someone do something different with the Y block...like a centrifugal supercharger or a turbo with the appropriate transmission and rear end with a QFT blow through carb...or even a Holley EFI system and engine controller. It wouldn't even have to be anything crazy, but a boosted 292 (or even the Mercury 312) Y block would be cool to see. "Depending on model year and application, the 312 was available with a single two- or four-barrel Holley carburetor, two four-barrel carburetors and with or without a McCulloch (Paxton) supercharger (1957 only)."
I actually got schooled on distributor oil pump drive gear that meshes with the cam gear,, because I got ahold of gm gbody car that kept destroying distributors it was a 86 Oldsmobile 307 roller cam v8 factory equipment 86 Buick Regal v8 sport coupe which is supposed to have a brass distributor gear, and the previous owner and his dad who was a buddy of mine had already put 5 used distributors in the motor in about 2 years, anyways I happened to find the factory distributor in the trunk and noticed the brass distributor gear all the other ones were the normal cast metal gear. And turns out the factory distributor broke the pickup coil wire and that was what was wrong with it so I disassembled it swapped out the pickup coil with a new standard motor parts unit and put it back in the car and no more issues with the distributor
Heck yeah. I also have mint news. I got my truck legal. I’m so excited, my first truck is on the road, and gas sucks in it, but I also just picked up a 500 dollar car. So quite possibly the race car
I fully restored a '69 F100 when I was 13...well that's when I started. Finished when I was 16 and drove it to high school. Damn solid truck, 360 with a 3 on the tree.

Young gear heads, like yourselves working on old cars and trucks, give me hope for this country. Good job guys!
Thank you!
U 3 guys should work together more on future projects. Love the chemistry between the 3 of you.

It’s gunna be such a rad build.

It may have the turning radius of a city bus but that's part of its charm.
Love this. You’re honestly up there with Roadkill for me
I appreciate that! Means a lot.
I could swear that the Charger in there looks just like Finnigen’s, the one that got the 2JZ in it once.
Dude, I'm really happy that you got yourself a crew cab truck!
YOUR F250 IS AN AMAZING BEAST!!! I can not believe how great of shape it is in and nearly rust free... If that was an Iowa or Minnesota truck it would be rusted in a million pieces EXCELLENT PURCHASE 👌 👏 👍🏻

Awesome video Craig!🤘🤘
Thanks!
Yep, I’ve found it’s easier to pull the clip and the block than to try replacing the starter with those headers
Craig what is on the top of your windshield " Wrecked "? Always enjoy your videos.
I tried making it out but I honestly couldn’t tell.
Thanks for the alert about this video!
Did you try to disassemble the starter to get it out?
What is it like driving with those amber headlights? Does it get annoying after awhile? They look cool.
Awesome touch . Fantastic video. 🇬🇧🧐🥇

To be honest our race cars we don't use gaskets on headers.. Straight Victor rienz sealer lol love this truck

Hey craig a seat from a 80-96 f-series will fit that truck if you just swap the tracks from the old seat to the one from a obs
You didn't get enough of those slick hose covers.
I have a 72 f100 with a 360 and long tube headers the starter is a nightmare to change bc of the header and going back together is just as hard lol

are you looking for a 2door 1976 f100 ranger XLT with factory a/c?
That great, those trucks never did run hot unless you were really working it or something was wrong with it.
Awesome truck I miss manual transmissions
I'm gonna personally say the optima batteries are very good batteries I had one in my 96 Cadillac devil for like 10 years and it powered through it for all those 10 years until it finally just quit
Obviously you were pressed for time, so you didn't have time for upgrades, but that was a perfect time for a 3g alternator upgrade and electric fans.
where are you guys located?
That driver door latch may just need some spray lube. I had a passenger side door on a 1972 F250 that the grease dried up an wouldn't latch. I used the truck just didn't use the passenger side for years and it did that very thing yours did. Not sure what you have planned but my '72 has 3.54 gears and gets a little up in rpm at 70mph but good gear ratio for hauling.
The transmission is a 3 speed with a granny low, that's why it revs so high at hwy speed. no need to use low, start off in 1st.
Hey man where can I find those headlights?
The references to Zip Ties and Bias Plies are appreciated!
Yess i was waiting for this
what size motor?
I remember when the distributor you took out just come out and was supposed to be the best thing since toast.
how much is the radiator?
I thought a roadsteration was driving it how it came. Fix and drive, not swap axles?
That fe sounds so good!!
That rad looks great 👍
What I have been wanting to see, shiny.
Most people with a granny 4 never use 1st unless towing

Been there for many years with the manual everything.

Is that the remains of a Salt Life logo on the windshield?
I wonder if those bed wheel wells were cut out for a slide in camper then weded back in. Lol
That’s actually what we think it is.
you can take the ignition out with out a key
