@@deepbludude4697 so nice to hear that! I had a beat up ‘74 Chevy in high school. It looked awful, but I loved it and loved tearing into it. One day, I want to get something to tinker with again.

Someone else said it, this truck belongs in a museum. It's a brand new truck and if it gets driven they'll find the seals have dried up and it'll start leaking fluids.
When I was 16 my dad bought me a new one, still have it today. But needs a lot of work. This video reminds me of when I was young and used to drive it to high school, almost took the time machine back to 1985.
Holy crap !!! I've always wanted this truck!!!! I was born in 1980 and a Ford fan, I have a 2013 FX4 5.0 always wanted a 1980 version !! This is unreal.
Man if I could I’d buy one like this brand new before I’d ever buy a new f250, this thing is pure class and beautiful. I hope whoever buys it keeps nice and preserves it, an original survivor like this just doesn’t exist
That truck should be in a museum. I remember when they were new and was shocked at the big round holes in the frame and the lack of a full floating rear axle. If I remember it has a Dana 44 front axle too. They improved them as the years went on and beefed them up and became good trucks. Had a 1982 F-150 4x4 with a 300 and a 4 speed over drive. It was a great truck and did everything I asked of it and some of it was more than I should have asked
This one is a light duty 3/4 ton which had the light duty axles and springs. It was based on gvwr which I don’t remember what it was. The heavy duty 3/4 ton had a full floating rear axle and much larger front hubs as well. It was rated at 8600 lb gvwr. I agree with the other comments that this truck belongs in a museum or some collectors garage.
@@fwcjr8170 I disagree - Cars should be enjoyed not be stationary. There are differences as to how they are enjoyed. I'm not saying drive it and park in the driveway, but drive it and store it properly. But, opinions are like assholes, we all have one.
He said he wanted to buy it and.. you know. It did sell for almost a hundred grand, and to my knowledge, not to him. I don't care who got it, as long as it's not him.
My father bought a f250 1981 in late 80s with 27000km same color but no crome trim. Identical truck, I always thought it was the best looking Ford truck and it's been proven in this video. Gorgeous
That’s awesome, I remember going with my dad to the dealership and bringing home a new 1980 f150. It was identical looking except for the brown color. Brings back wonderful memories. Like everyone else I would buy it in a second if I had the money. God bless
My dad had a 92 parked in a garage its whole life. Had 70,000 miles. He's 91. My wife borrowed it for a day, it snowed and slid into oncoming truck and totaled it a month ago. She walked away and we were all sick. He had minimum insurance. I would love to buy this one.
My dad has a 79 Ford custom super cab. I spent my childhood with a camper on top of it dragging around Canada and the US for about 15 years or so. The body is very similar and dad still has it with a new slide on camper with it and he has almost 830,000 km which is around 515,000 miles! 🇨🇦
Really ain't that bad once you actually know the vehicle. The problem is when such parts are no longer plug and go and REQUIRE programing to work which no average person owns the systems to do it.
Fun fact: that hood light pulls out comnected to a cord to act as flashlight to view around the truck. Not sure how long the cord is but its a nifty feature.
I cant tell you how many people I know that have gone through 3 or 4 brand new vehicles, meanwhile I'm still driving my 1/2 million mile classic American truck. And yes, I'm an autobody guy and the steel used for the body panels then Vs now, is night and day. The old trucks the beds were twice as thick as modern ones, surprisingly I've found the frames to be a bit beefier as well... A lot of modern trucks used stamped steel, its just a piss poor cheap way to do things.
I love those era F250 4x4s...they really looked like they meant business. I have an '86 with the 460...talk about sucking fuel!!! That's why it's basically just been a shed for quite a few years now. This one makes me drool. I've dreamed of running across one in decent shape from that era, but this takes the cake!
Back in 1980 I was working in Lake Placid during the winter olympics and this was what we had for trucks with every Bell and whistle that was offered by Ford at that time about 15 years ago I saw one had survived and was on the property of John Brown's grave and farm house. It sure didn't look as pretty as it did in 1980. But the fact it survived that many years in the adirondacks was impressive.
My neighbor had this exact same truck! He used it on his farm and it was worked to death. It wound up sitting beside his barn when the engine went. It was sold to a guy that I think scrapped it.
Wow!! I’m green with envy! I had a 1/2 ton 84’ same color for 24 years. Kicking myself for selling it! 😩 would be a dream to have that beautiful truck 😍
Had an 84 Bronco full size w/plow that had been gone thru top to bottom. 351 windsor high output, automatic, limited slip rear end. All I did was plow with it. Never a problem. Had a job related move and no place to put it (I had 4 vehicles at the time) so it was sold as well as the other 3. I do miss that thing. I live in the woods now with a 300' driveway. 🤷♂️
For a second a panicked because I thought this was whistlin diesels channel because it's such a good looking truck XD and we all know what happens to trucks there XD
I wish she had the 300 ci inline 6cyl . My last Ford F-150 with the 300 ci i sold for $800.00 with 4WD. She had 576,199 miles on her ! She was my Winter Beater and crap hauler for 20 years. She was my good friend. We live in Minnesota.That truck never let me down. I chainged the oil every 3,000 miles. It would be 23 degrees below 0 with a 20 mph wind out of the north and she fired up ! I can't tell you how many people i jump started who had old batteries or pulled out of a snow filled ditch or a 5ft high snowbank with a chain .
A working feedback carb system on these is rare in itself. They were extremely easy to disable and convert to straight carb and many people who got these just pulled the systems off themselves. They broke down a lot especially under heavy use anyway and there is little chance of restoring an old one to working order because parts are nearly nonexistent. You might just have the last completely stock bullnose underhood.
Great truck and sold at auction for $97,000. Today on autotrader used 2020 Ford F250 Platinum $91,745, the link is too long to post. I personally would rather have the 1980 model with the Multi mile snow tires, but at 54 I am an anachronism.
Miss my ol 80 f150. Had a 300 i6, granny 4spd, 4x4. Painted it almost that same color blue. My dad bought it, changed the engine n drove it for idk how long. I bought it from him my senior yr of high school. Regret ever tradin it off
Awesome truck. This one has the “Swiss cheese frame”’ Ford used that for a year or 2 on the 150 and under 8000lb 250 to cut weight. They case hardened around the holes to keep the strength. Also this one has the semi float Dana 60. Too bad you can buy this truck today. I had to buy/build my 84 c3500 to get the truck I wanted
Wow....great story.....i have a 2006 F250 like that with only 76000 miles....was thinking the other day about putting it up for sale.....i will have to think about this....thanks
My father bought the exact same truck . In 1980 f250 4x4 4 speed with the 400 cid. Same color ext. And int. With the plow setup. Truck was a real work horse. He even put a nice set of hooker. Side Pipes man that thing sounded awesome.
Also, has the zigzag bias plies! Awesome I’d keep them. Notice no blue oval on the grille. Ford didn’t start that agin till 81 or 82. Very special truck
I saw one on line a few months ago and I believe it was a 1982 with 12,000 miles on it. This one here 1980 much better shape than the one I seen. Yesterday on UA-cam I saw a 1990 F-150 with 53,000 miles

My dad gave me a 2000 Wrangler 5 speed. Still have it! Going to pull it apart and refresh it and bring it back to stock.

if that nice truck has a mechanical fuel pump, replace it before the diafragm ruptures due to age and non use so that the gas won't mix with the oil.
