What Makes a 1967 Bumpside so Different Than The Rest?

- Today I show how the 1967 F Series trucks are so different than the rest of the bumpside trucks. I also provide a little history into why I like highboys and 67s so much!
I have 10 bumpsides, 5 of which are F250 4x4 highboys. 6 of the 10 are 1967's. All my 67's have the hazard flasher switch in the upper part of the glove box. Also the flasher assembly, near the steering column is a large box, specific to 1967. Interestingly I have never, ever seen a failed one. 1967 bumpsides are without a doubt, my favorite vehicles on the planet. Nothing else even comes close. I've been driving mine constantly since 1985. Wherever I go people are constantly commenting that they really like my truck, no matter which one I drove that day. Ever since the first couple of miles in one, I knew that I would never again be without one. That was 33 years ago. I've been driving my dream car ever since. Every time I look at them, or drive them, I fall in love all over again. -------every time -------- . Simple, dependable, durable, beautiful. Made in the the U.S.A. and made to last. Thanks for the tour of your bumpsides, ----- reminds me of home. Cheers.
MrDavid 6691 what a great story. You can't beat simplicity.
Interested selling one ???

I had a '68 Mercury F100 short box, 240 six with three on the tree and positrack rear end. Since it was sold in Canada it has many similarities to the '67. Original colour was green with a white bump stop. I wrapped the odometer around on that truck.
We had a 1967 green F100. 300 ci 6, 4 speed, no power steering, no power brakes. I could stand in the engine bay with my feet on the ground. Sure miss it.
I had a red 67 F250 three quarter ton. 352 4speed with the granny gear. Was a daily driver for a year. What a truck
Awesome!
Awesome video 😎😎😎. 45 years ago I bought my first truck 400 dollars got a really nice F-100 straight 6 😊😊😊, three on the tree, not sure on the year it had a white paint grill and small door mirrors like you would find on a car , it was super reliable wish I still had it.
My favorite part about 67 bumpsides is the fact that I'm a Canadian and in '67 you could still get a Mercury!
I’d Love to have a 67 Mercury, I’ve never even seen one in person
@@warrenmcelroy4718 they are the same truck. Mercury on tailgate, the side emblems looked like the 66 F100 twin I beam badges, cool stuff. All my old "ford" trucks are Mercs.
@@seanmanness1351 yup all 1967 ford are Merc made in Canada they just changed the name plates and I think the tail lights ,
@@bobw9297 no, tail lights are same. Was emblems, gate, hood crest, steering wheel center....we had more Ford's than Mercs but country is so large and sparsely populated that a town may have a Merc dealer but no Ford dealer back then. Instead of customers having to go to GM or Dodge/Fargo dealer they gave the Merc dealers a truck to sell. Cool history.
Classic Canadian copy-catting freeloaders
Regarding the handbrake, Australian right hand drive F series utilised an Orchilin style lever to the left of the steering column under the dash, the knob on the end of this lever when turned clockwise tighted the wire leading to the rear brakes.
It was easy to use and was long enough to give good leverage for tight hand braking,
Interesting, the Australian 69s only had the aluminum grilles., The 68 & 67 over here were steel chrome, or steel painted white. Also Aussie 789012, put 19 in front of those numbers, never had black rubber dash tops, just painted head cracking steel. I might be wrong with our 71-72, but 67, 8, 9, steel not rubber.
Our trucks came from Canada, got the converted, and often, the 300 6 cylinder, was swapped for a 302, 351.
My friends mother had a '67 with the all steel grille, I had a '68 with a steel grille, and my father had 2 '69's one with the steel. and one with the aluminum grille, like your '67 has. The grilles were mixed and matched, but were interchangeable on all 5th Gen Bump side trucks. The entire doghouse was interchangeable for the 5th Gen. The '68 was the first year fot the parking lights on the front fender forward of the wheel well/
My Dad had a 1967 Ford F350 Dent side. it was a cab and chassis Dually dump truck. 361 ci V8 4 speed 2 wheel drive 9 ft dump bed. we used it a lot on our farm. That truck was an old work horse
The "FORD" block letters on the front of the hood are also unique to the 67
Thank you for posting this. Very informative. I'm currently working on a 67 flareside. Did you add those shoulder belts on that 67 Highboy?
Yes, I added them in the build.
are there any body differences with the f100 and f250?
1970’s that is? I’m restoring my grandpas truck but haven’t dug in too much yet.
Thanks !
I'm new to the channel, great video. I'm a ford guy and I didn't know about the difference between 67 and 68-72 ford trucks. Thanks
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching.
Thank you Matt
I liked and subscribed to your channel.
I have a 1970 Ford F 100 short bed with a 390 big block.
Thank you for this video you have answered a question that I had about my grill in my truck it seems that I have a 67 grill.
Those little black marks top and bottom.
Now if I can find out what kind of grill the 1970 should have.
I love these old trucks, new trucks are just minivans with beds.
Super informative video, definitely appreciate you goin through these trucks it helped me alot identifying what exactly i have in my 67 as its got a little of this and a little of that lol. But really, thanks for the video
Glad to hear it!
the broncos used some of the reflectors and rear lens covers
What is the lever in front of the directional lever?
Do you have an extra 67 352 alternator bracket?
wow, all killer trucks !
Thanks!!
I see your '67 has shoulder belts but the '69 does not. Aftermarket change on the '67? Or a factory option?
My 67 has aftermarket belts. But shoulder belts were an option but very rarely added. I’ve only ever seen them on a government order truck.
im partial to the 72 the best. my dad had one and i always thought they where the prettiest ford built.
The lighter optional?
They were nice trucks I prefer 78 79 didn't have ball steering
Is a 67 highboy frame the same as a 73?
Wheel base is different
Does the 72 ac work it will blow icicles
Not gonna lie. I watched this video for you to cover that 72… so pretty disappointed I got to the end and you didn’t even cover it side by side to the other two.
1972 Sport Custom Ep.3 Finished!

Padded dash back in 1967 & 69 ?
Yes, all bumpsides have the same padded dash.
Why are they called bumpside?
Because of the raised “bump” body line that goes down the length of the truck.
67 though 69 Ford pickups were the toughest Ford trucks ever produced. especially the ones equipped with the 300ci 4.9L inline Six cylinder engine. they were bullet proof.
I have a unique Ford Pickup, it's a 1966 F250 4x4 chassis with a 1951 body on it. with a 400 + HP 390 FE engine and a tilt front end. I did all the work on it myself including building the engine. except the dual two and a half inch exhaust system. I also have a 1978 F150 2WD with a 360 FE engine and a four speed. normally 78 models didn't have FE engines in them. but I put it in the truck with some parts from a 1967 F100. I also used the windshield from the 67 and put it in the 78. I also have a 1981 F250 4x4, with a 300ci 4.9L inline six cylinder engine and a four speed. it's a totally bullet proof truck. a person might say I really like Ford Pickups and they would be right. they are best trucks ever made no doubt.
This has straighten out a few questions I have on my truck. Mine is a 72 dually I got as is from a guy that installed a dual ram PTO dump system on the back, swapped a 67 cab but it has the 68 doors with lock plungers and armrest door levers. The cab is f100 bump and naturally it has a 460 out of a 78 continental… man I love my truck 😂
I have a 67 F600 flatbed. No rust in the floors, cab corners or cab mounts. She has a personality and spirit that none of my other vehicles will ever have. I love to just sit in her sometimes and have a quiet moment. I revived her from an abandoned farm an now she is more than road worthy and legal. Resurrection Revival is almost a religious experience.
Cool trucks. Those shock reservoir's would benefit being mounted in a cooler area for increased shock performance. With all that heat from the motor you might be shortening the life of them too. Cooler shocks perform better.
My dad had 2 1967's for his business. They were Mercury 250 4x4's with 352 engines, 9 ft. flareside boxes. Both had 8000 lb. PTO driven winches up front.
Very cool! I would love to have a mercury one day. Sadly they are just Nonexistent down this far south.
All three gorgeous trucks! I’ve got to say though, that two tone blue 72 is beautiful!
I agree!
@@MattKubik1791 retro sound has after market shaft style radios that have the classic look
@@dustinkey8116 not for 67 a truck.

I have a 1970 F100 that I'm just starting to work on. It had been sitting for 16 years in my Grandpas field. It has a nice 390 in it. It had a 2 barrel carb and some old gas in the tank. I put a battery in it, put a couple gallons of fresh gas in it. Primed the carb and cranked it over for about ten seconds, pumped it 4 times then turned it over again and it fired right up 🤯😁 it blew big globs of old carpet fibers out of the exhaust for a couple minutes and smelled like dead 🐀. After about 5 minutes of idling it smoothed out and just purred like a 🐈. The exhaust mounted heat activated choke and everything even works. I could not believe it 🤗🥳
Come to find out the engine had been bored .060 over so it's actually a 401, it doesn't overheat and runs extremely strong. I did put a performer rpm intake on it and put some gt heads with stronger springs on it. It runs even better now. The part I'm searching for now is a replacement tool box tub for the bedside tool box. Unfortunately I can not find anywhere to buy a new one so I'll be searching junk yards.
Im very happy to have it. My Grandpa died last Oct so I'll have this to remind me of him. I also got an 49' F1 that was his. It is a project but still cool. The 49' is going to be my hotrod.
Awesome story! The sentimental ones are the best.
Ok you convinced me. I need a '67! So my question is: How likely am I to find a '67 350 with a 3 on the tree? I'm guessing the 4 on the floor was an option that was more sought after? Thanks Matt!
Just bought a '67 F250 long bed w/ the 352. I haven't even transferred the title yet, so this video was exceptionally helpful. Looking forward to turning it into a daily driver.
Awesome tour Matt! I'm wondering where to get a few parts. I need the original air-cleaner for the 360 FE and a radio bezel for my 72 F250 crewcab.
I think you can get a reproduction radio Bezel from reproduction parts catalogs such as Dennis Carpenter and the rest. I’m not sure on a factory air cleaner. I would check out eBay and see if you can find a used one. That’s where I get a lot of my parts that are hard to find.
@@MattKubik1791 Thanks Matt, I'll take a look!
LMC Truck - Lenexa Kansas. Check Out their online catalogs. Have read some negative comments on some forums about the rubber door seals from LMC...probably cheap, poorly made from C-H-I-N-A.
I had a 1971 ford f100 ranger xlt. I loved that truck so much. The best years of my life in that truck. I had to let it go because i couldnt aford to keep it up. I miss it so much. Part of me died the day i let it go.
Great job on the ultimate highboy!!! I also grew up driving my Dads 69 highboy. Great trucks! Great memories!!
Awesome!
My husband says his dad had a '66 f250 352 4speed with granny gear and posi rear end. It was the first stick he ever drove. Great memories and beautiful trucks!
I like the '67 but that original '69 is awesome too, just a slick pickup.
My favorite era Ford trucks. Had a 68 f250 2 wheel drive 360 4spd no ps or pb. I put a 72 grill on because I liked the look.
I plowed my buddy's girlfriend's box on the seat of my '67...my buddy was passed out in the bed from 2 quarts of Mad Dog malt liquor...damn she had a tight wet box...yummy af!!!
I learned to drive on my Dads 1972 f100 302 3 on the tree ... Loved that friggin truck, it had 400 thousand on it and the engine had never been cracked opened. He ended up trading it in for a brandy new 1987 ford ranger... Although 67 thru 79 were essentially the same core truck the 67 to 72 were always my favorites and I liked the gauge cluster old school style more so than the square gauges from 73 to 79. If you look Ford just basically flipped the 72 grille upside down and embedded the ford letters into the upper grille and took them off the hood, quite clever actually and was an interesting facelift for the 73 thru 77 models...Love your trio brother, keep em forever!!
Another great thing about Bumps is that you can bolt an F500 Gauge cluster right in. '73-'79 is the big truck cluster to get, as the gauges look more modern. '73-'79 F500s retained the Bumpside dash. The '67-'72 F500 gauges look almost like they're from the 1950s.
Bad thing about Bumps is the welded-in dash - that must be why it kicks up on the passenger side, so you can service the heater. I would consider bolting a Bump dash into my Dent, so I could run those big truck gauges. I wonder if the Bump dash is welded into the Dent F500 cabs, or if it bolts in like the ones in the pickups.
@@DanEBoyd You should check out the Brazilian F-1000, apparently they have been continuing to build the 1967 f100 as the F-1000 over there all the way through from the research, looks like 1992... The truck has a full set of round gauges that you could probably order from Ford of Brazil that might plug in with some mods..
check out the You tube videos for F1000s 1992 ford F1000 will blow your mind...
@@ROROSMACHINE I will check that out. Ford also produced the 1960 Falcons up into the '80s or even '90s, in Australia and in Central or South America. At the end they had modern cartridge bulb-headlights and a few other modern updates.
Heck, if I can buy me a new Bumpside, I might just go there!!
This was fun. I have a 66 custom ranger, yes, with the factory mustang buckets and comet center console. I think 66 has some one year options. The 65 has the cab step, but not the 66. Love all these old trucks!
Is yours a bumpside?
Hi mate , l am from South Australia, I’ve got the 67-72 Bumpside short wheel Bronco Made in Brazil very extremely rare , All the best I love the Bumpside
Hi Matt my dad had a68 when I was a kid an your trucks bring back lots of memories for me I missed that truck for yrs an soon as I could I bought a 76 f250 an still drive 32 yrs later so I know how a truck means so much
My grandfather on my mom's side had several Ford F100s in his time.. he traded about every 2 years.. he had a late 64 and waited till the 67 model to come out in late 66.. yes I can remember the differences he had economy heater switch in his base model. truck it was green. not sure what engine was in it I think it was a V8 with a 4 speed on the floor, his first automatic was not till the 1972 model year.. I remember riding with him when he went to check cattle or when he and dad went to farm sales I agree they were a great truck.. also my grandfather also had a few Chevy s too .. he thought was a truck is a truck does not matter what brand just as long it did the job it was intended to do. he would use each one for a different purpose. on the farm.. he just bought em cheap as he could. his first air conditioned pickup was not till the 1977 Ford F150 Ranger.
My first truck was a 67 short narrow box with a 240 6 cyl 4 spd, Dana 61 posi rear axle. Was pretty scary driving out of the mountains downhill on icy roads, wanted to steer you straight over the edge on the corners, swapped it out for an open diff 9" rear.
Yeah open diffs are where its at for ice for sure.
The brake master cylinder is also one year only option for the 67 😁 I have a 67 and love it, you also have some nice trucks.
My brothers huntin buddy has got a '68 Wimbledon white F100 with 3/4 ton running gear, suspension lift, and a bada** pumped up Ford 408 under the hood..he named it "White Mule" and it is a beast....
When I got my 67 there was a rubber bladder on the floor near the dimmer switch that would pump the washer fluid. The washer fluid was in a bag that hung on the inner fender.
That continued in Australian dent line until Aug 1980 when last of dentsides were put together in the Melborne factory, but if I remember correctly a plastic bottle was the reservoir, however in time that foot bladder would leak and create a wet spot leading to rust in the floor plan.
Oddly all of the windscreen wiper switches in the unique Australian dash boards ( actually English Ford Cortina car dashes) had a push in function that powered a wire in the engine wiring loom making it easy to use an electric powered washer bottle.
I remember my old ford 4x4 4sp 6cyl it was always dependable could haul a good load of wood and went great in the snow in our west Virginia mtns but could of used more horsepower to get out of bad situations when it got real bad always wanted one with a 3/4 ton suspension and with the 460 my favorite truck I had though was a 90 model dodge Cummins turbo 4x4 5sp I had no power issues at all with that truck and it not only hauled a nice load of wood it would pull a big trailer full also
The 600 gauge bezel looks good in high boys, yes its not correct but it looks good.
I'm a huge 67 fan myself
Yeah 600 gauge swaps are pretty popular!
I prefer the Dent-era F600 gauges themselves though. They have that Cougar XR7 look to them, whereas the Bump-era ones look way more old-timey. I want the tach and vacuum gauges too! (Even though the big-truck tachs are cable driven, or need to be adapted somehow.)
The F600 bezel looks like aftermarket gauges would work well with it too.
Very informative good video. Love the old ford trucks.
I can remember in 1972 , dad arguing because he had to buy the rear bumper separate. He ended up buying a 1972 Ranger XLT , candy apple read , 2 wheel drive with a 302 in it. I believe 72 the seam going down the bed was gone . Then 73 changed everything
Also i think till 1971or 72 the F100 , only had a transfer case that was engaged or not , just in or out single speed. Dana 21 i believe . They would break in half . I have broken more than one of them. .
Super cool lineup! I gotta get mine running so I can do a similar run down on my builds. Right now they are “in the works” with a long ways to go!
My dream car is a Ford Highboy! I love all these old trucks. So cool!
I just bought a sweet, near mint 1972 F350 ‘stake/dump’ with 20,638 original one owner miles ( I will be doing some videos on it ). I too had a f100 in your same green with a 6 cylinder ‘three on the tree’. Back in the recession of 1982 , I lost my 79’ Ford van to the bank. An old painter sold me his good running 71’ F 100 for $75 to help me out !
Awesome! Would love to see that.
My grand pa had a 72 F-100 & F-600. What a beautiful memories of him taking me for a ride around town. the view of the dash and the hood thru the wondshield. I-m planning to get a F-100 or 250 67-72 sometime in the next couple of years.
Love my old Ford trucks . thanks for sharing 😎
Really liked this kind of video! love learning new info about this trucks.
Awesome!
Hello. I have a truck similar to your 67.. I can't find my vin #.. do you know where its
If it’s a highboy it will be stamped on the top of the frame just ahead of the passenger side cab mount.
Ty sir...
I just bought an estate sale and there was a 1967 f250 in the garage, one owner, practically no rust, garage kept and under 70k miles, have all original paperwork and maintenance, has a custom camper on the back. Located in central Indiana. Will be sell soon. If you know anyone.
Wow I love this truck ! I had a 67 4x4 in high school and after graduation it got a 4 inch lift kit 21/2 inch body lift with 38 inch ground hawgs!! Man I had a lot of fun in that truck! Regrettably I sold it when iwas24 ! I'm 54 now and I hope to find another one and make it a 250 so I can lift it up even higher and keep it until I die
my first vehicle was a 67 F100 long wheel base. installed a 390 remanufactured motor in it and painted it dark blue and silver metallic. It was a good truck.
I have a 71 f100 SB 4x4 and a 68 f100 SB flare side 4x4 that is #40 built 68 f100 . Don't know what # 4x4 it is for 68. But everything in my 68 is 67 . Heater and radio controls , grill etc. All of it is left over 67 but it's a 68 originally sold to US Dept of Agriculture. Factory 360fe . Has factory Dana 60 semi floating 5 lug rear differential with power lock limited slip differential and 4.10 gears. Love the bumpsides
I'm not a homer... I luv American made Trucks....all that said. I just think Ford and Ram trucks just look good all the time. My Father in-law lived in the high country Colorado. he had a 72' F250 National Parks Forestry.... 😟😟. I told him, the day comes and he's selling his house and property...I want first dibs on the Truck 😡😡 due to medical issues they had to sell and move out of the high country. My FIL was in the hospital and his wife sold the truck 😩🤬🤬🤬
Forestry truck, had side tool boxes and a PTO
I have a working radio in my 67 if you’re interested. It’s just missing the knobs
I have a 1967 hi boy bought it in 1989 $600 bucks had a 352 posi 4.56 gears arm strong steering and no power brakes, still see it running around Pueblo CO
great video, I think only think it would be better if the 4x4 was a 4 speed,but with that motor very cool! I had 69 4 speed 390 wish I never would have sold it! thanks for video. very bad think about these trucks key switch you can just pug new one in and start any truck this year crazy!.
Too bad more Ford trucks from the 60's and 70's weren't taken better care of. They are way easier to work on than Ford trucks 1990 and newer. A Ford F-250 Custom from the mid 70's with a big block motor and 1 ton brakes and springs is as Ford tough as a new F-250.
i picked up a 70 high boy with dana 60/80 lockers with a 390 4 speed rust free good clean body tool box on side extra front clip doors and hood 3 sets of chrome trim lights and emblems box was full of parts all for 250 bucks with a set of new wheels 12 inch 16,5 rims for military tires i get 36.5 tires for 25 bucks with 80% tread . i had a 67 with a 352 it was a gas hog with no power i think i have 3 360 that i just through in the dirt .plus i can get a lot of 390's i know where there is about 8 just sitting in rigs at my friends house i can get them for 100 bucks each or buy the whole rig for 300 from 65 to 78 that what he has just sitting about 25 rigs in ford pu's
I ha e according to my vin number a 1970.the paper work says 69.looking at what you are showing mine could be a 67🤣😂👀I don't know. But then mine was made in SA where anything is possible 🙆♂️
I have just realised my Australian F250 dentside has what you called an F600 dashboard as original fitment only the guages are on the right hand side of cab. The 2 blank larger round potential holes would have housed a tacho and air guage in the larger F600 and 800 trucks .
getting my first '70 Highboy delivered tomorrow can't wait. Learning alot from your videos. I have some 73-79 stuff but first one under that era.
Very cool! Bet you are excited to get it!
@@MattKubik1791 you betcha
Got myself a 67 250 camper special for myself. Rusty and somebody painted it with a fuckin brush but I basically only paid for the rims and exhaust for a running truck with a 460 in it.
Nice trucks man. My first car was a 69 f100
On the doors- I have one that the vin tag places as a November ’67 but it has ‘68 style doors. Just wanted to let you know. They are the original doors.
Model years changed over mid year in the summer so trucks build in the later half of 67 would be 68 model year trucks. Your truck is a 68. 67 trucks would be built from mid year 66- mid year 67.
@@MattKubik1791 thanks a lot, so on the title would it be a ‘67 or a ‘68? Still trying to get one. Thanks

just bought a 1967 F250 high boy body is rough was logging truck then cattle truck no tag on door hope your dad kept his it has a radio in it wiped chrome grill hood tree got it parked out in field for 12 years 352 turns over 4 speed
My dad had a 67' f100. Came stock with a 352fe. Air cleaner was an OIL BATH. No filter needed. Copper mesh was the filter! Cleaning was done gasoline. Filled air cleaner with a small amount of motor oil. Worked perfect. Love that year!
352s' were the block from the Ford Edsel that set for 10 plus years and they bored them out to a 352
They bored them to 361, advertised as 360
@tima5521 The truck 352s were not leftover from the 50s, they were new blocks, pre65 blocks will not accept truck motor mounts
This truck is made better than the 2017 Ford Raptor because it has less things to break down for one thing. Also the white truck looks a whole lot better to me than a Raptor truck.
That 428 FE would be a very torquey engine at low RPM I would think, great for a heavy truck.
Honestly the 67 just sounds terrible to restore haha I love these trucks, but the dentside are my favorite. Most notably 73-76:)
I know a guy that had a boat that had a Ford 4-cylinder in it 60 something and the cigarette lighter said Taylor Made that's what they called cigarettes back then that were Taylor Made
Well I think I had a 67 it was radio delete, had the defrost lever under the dash and lap belts only. Great video 👍🏼
Nice video. I believe the exterior side trim on the 67 is thinner than the other years too.
1 1/4 newer 1 1/2
Ok on my 78 custom f250 460 auto why do I have a canary yellow roof and small mirrios on mine
My grandfather had a 67 ford short bed wide side that was red when I was a kid in the early 70s! Three on the tree straight six!
My husband secretly rebuilt a 67 F250 highboy and surprised me for my birthday this year 😊 It’s such an awesome truck and I drive it all the time!
That’s awesome
Somebody's been shopping with LaRue Tactical. 3 great trucks too.
My grandad bought a brand new 1967 ford f100 2wd short bed in 1967 but he wanted a 4wd one so
The 67 also has the windshield washer bag. I believe 67 also has a different P/S box. I have a 67 camper special.
Forgot about the washer bag! Good catch.
I like 67s too yet I have a 69. My grandparents had a 67 F250 Custom Cab Camper Special from new until 2000.
I'm going to put a jet engine in mine '72 this winter.
The chick's really dig me.
The one you said was a Camper Special didn't look like one no duel tanks that I could see. So hope you go back to that one to clarify the Camper Special you think you have Thanks, will be watching 😊
Dual fuel tanks were not a part of the camper special package. At least during 67-72. The only options that were included as standard when you selected the camper special package were: 55 amp alternator, 70 amp hour battery, oil pressure gauge, ammeter, western long arm mirrors, extra cooling package, camper wiring harness, dual electric horns (expect ones with power pack option) and last but not least camper special cowl emblems. Dual tanks were optional, as well as side storage tool box that most associate with camper specials. Hope this helps!
