    Looks like an older guy had that then died and his family didnt know what to do. sent it to the scrapyard. Probably under a carport for many years. Drove it every once and a while. KEY OVER THE VISOR?

    WOW! What an amazing trip down memory lane!! I owned a 1970 F100 with the 302 for many years. It was a good old truck all things considered. I mean it had drum brakes all the way around and I just about lost all my marbles coming down from Clingman's Dome in the Smokies. Everything you're showing in your video... even the sound of the hood being raised, tugged at my heart strings.

    Man, that is so reminiscent of my first Ford truck! Full size, long bed, 302 with C-6 transmission, power steering, and not much else. Very basic daily driver and easy to work on. Drove it a couple of years and traded for a 73 Beetle with a 63 engine and transmission.
