This truck is beautiful. I have an 88 250 with the straight 6. I will keep it forever. I always love meeting someone with the same type of truck.
Thank you very much! Your truck sounds great as well The old straight 6 might be a little slow but it's one of the most reliable engines Ford has ever made Nice and simple easy to work on.
you ain't telling stories ! brother .........this my 77 f 150 super cab ua-cam.com/video/QjMBOo-XAZo/v-deo.html im picking up my (2nd week of jan 23) 1992 f 250 ex cab 124, miles cold ac drives like new inside is like new 10k ................... do you have any video of you'er truck ? greeting from TX
@@israelmoreno3620 That's a great looking Truck!!! 👍
I inherited my dads 1990 F250 XLT with a nice 8' bed that he bought brand new in 90. It still doesn't have 100K on it. In the year 2023, these solid fairly dependable and cheaper vehicles than these current 65K trucks are becoming more and more popular as finally some people are realizing they don't want to be a slave to the bank for the next 84 months at $700 a pop per month.
Very true lol hold on to that truck it's a classic
That's right
I have a 2021 Tacoma but I could not see myself spending 70k+ to have a bigger truck for towing . I bought me a 7.5L 1990 ext cab 150k miles with working ac for 2500. I’m investing another 4-5k on it to make her better but I love this thing .
Favorite word of this video; old school
Thanks!!!
I got 11 MPG in my 71 Lincoln Town Car with the 460 motor. It was a beast!
Nice that's awesome!!! I love those old Lincoln Town Cars. Old school American luxury just a giant land Yacht comfortable and smooth!!
Personally...the 87-91 fords are my favorite. Yours is in really nice shape.
Thank You Very Much!
Love my truck? I have a 1970 F-250 2 WD with 460 (headers, Edelbrock, Holley carb), C-6, 3.73 diff. Dana, and Vintage Air AC. I've got this engine purring and I get compliments all the time. Nothing like a "Big Block!"
Sounds like you have an amazing truck!!! 👍 I love the '70s look way better compared to the brick nose style of the late '80s and you're very true nothing like a big block!!!!
@@MotorMikeMedia Thanks for the reply. I bought my current truck in 2014. Before my current truck I owned a '72 F-100 360 cu. in. 2WD, 4sp. manual w/granny low. It was stock with no AC. I had that truck for 33 YRS!!. I used it for construction, camping, and towing my boat. I did have to rebuild the engine one time and valve job two times. I believe the 1967 - 1972 were the best generation of Ford trucks. They all were reliable, heavy, simple, and easy to work on.
@@sunking2001 That's awesome 👍. Nowadays people always want the latest and greatest vehicles. But when you have a good reliable simple vehicle and I keep it for 30 plus years that's so cool they don't make them like they used to. New trucks are awesome with all their cool features but they're so expensive to buy so expensive to maintain. It's always nice to have something that's simple and reliable. I would have to agree with you those are probably the best looking for trucks.
@@MotorMikeMedia When I bought my 1970 F-250 in 2014 I happen to inherent all of the original sales receipts and contract from the original buyer and date of purchase from a dealership in Sacramento in 1970. I now live 25 miles north in Roseville, CA. The truck was sold as a F-250 Custom with a 360 cu. in 2v with AC and automatic (C-6) speed for around $4,000. Can you believe it? The purchaser had a cab-over camper installed with optional "slide out'" rear bumper. I even have the original purchase of the cab-over camper and it's features from 1970. Here it is...same truck now with a 460 cu. in. with Classic Air AC. I even have the original Ford Truck brochures offered to the public from the showroom showing all the models and options from...1970! How cool is that? This truck was not a "Camper Special" but an F-250 Custom with a camper added with heavy duty springs and shocks.
@@sunking2001 That is so cool That truck has a very interesting story!!! 👍 I really like having the cab over camper install that's a cool look and a lot of people are trying to do more outdoor lifestyle over landing and stuff like that so it fits that vibe and those '70s f series vehicles are just so stylish!
I have the literal exact truck with 88k miles and I freaking love this tank! Get so many stares with this!
Very nice 👍
Beautiful ford man 👍 I've always loved bricknose fords 🇺🇸 💪
Thank you very much! They're good old trucks and the bricknose is the most affordable if you're looking to find an older ford truck.
Thanks
The vent windows are nice ..nice truck
Thank You Very Much!
love so much your truck 460 engine very nice
Thank you very much 👍
I have the same truck I love it too
Very nice 👍
I also have an 88 F250 custom with the 5.0L EFI. Not as clean as yours but it's been a work horse for years and I keep it running. And it's fun to work on. And the 8 ft bed for hauling sheets of plywood is a big plus for me. I can't stand the dinky short beds of modern trucks.
Very nice. It sounds like you have a great truck! 👍 And you are so right about modern trucks.The beds are so small, and it makes work difficult, and trucks were made for work, lol. Thanks for watching!! 👍
Ha ha, your tailgate has a slightly crooked “R” , just like mine. Your truck looks Great!
Thank You Very Much!!!
Congratulations from Brazil! Beatiful pick up!
Thank you very much! 👍
@@MotorMikeMedia I have a F1000 (American F150) 1995, but diesel engine! Very Strong pick up!
@@leonardocustodiodossantos7854 Oh yeah that's awesome. The diesel engines are great with lots of low end torque and they last a very long time. 👍
@@MotorMikeMedia sure! Have a good day! God bless you!
@@leonardocustodiodossantos7854 You have a great day too! God bless you!
Father had this truck, it out lasted him and still runs with the I6. Didn’t need much maintenance.
They are good simple trucks
I just bought a 1987 f250 with the 460 and 3 speed automatic transmission. Dual tanks too. Its a great truck, its got the 5 digit odometer that reads 67k but im sure its rolled over and is actually at 167k. Very clean in great condition.
That's awesome!!! 👍 sounds like you got a great truck! They can be very great trucks just need to give them a little TLC once a while, but the 460 is the best!!!
@@MotorMikeMedia have you made any other videos about the engine? Im trying to learn as much as I can about them so I can keep it going as long as possible.
@@edwardburns3781 I only made a few videos on the F250 it is the one truck i didn't sell
I still see a lot of those eighth generation Ford F-series pickups out on the roads today.
Nice I really like this truck! I see a good amount of 9th and 10th generations around my area but they're mostly rusted out.
@@MotorMikeMedia what I don't see often on the roads nowadays are cabover semis. Back in the '80s I saw a mix of cabover & conventional cab semis around. Nowadays there's mostly conventional cab semis.
@@MotorMikeMedia the 9th generation Ford F-series is my favorite.
@@kevinrichards3288 Yeah around me too as well there like that.
@@MotorMikeMedia I liked that black Freightliner cabover tow truck in the movie Terminator 2. I hated to see that thing get damaged & totaled. In Terminator 1 I also liked that orange International Transtar cabover fifth wheel with the tanker trailer hooked up to it that the terminator drove chasing after Sarah Connor as she was running on foot.
I bought my first bricknose back in 08 .. it got me out of my 77 … later on i bought another 89 but it was a f250 with a 460 .. i quickly noticed that truck is geared way to low .. id drive up the highway at 50 mph and my engine would be turning 3000 rpms … thats why they dont get good gas mileage .. since then ive found a nice 89 4dr dually .. im gonna swap the 460 over into it with the Zf5 5 speed transmission … I’ve already bought (6) 35 in tall tires and a set of 2004 f250 front and rear that has a slightly higher gear ratio in them .. instead of the factory 4.11 ratio those trucks came with the 2004 axles have 3.73 gears .. its not a big difference but after i get the truck together and drive it ill know if the tire size,gear ratio and the 5 speed are all gonna be satisfactory if not ill buy a gear set for front and back and change the gears out for a set more appropriate to my needs ..
as for pulling with the higher gears i still pull with my f150 i got back in 08 it has 308 gears with a set of 35 in tall tires on it with a worn out foxbody 5.0 under the hood and a bulldog 4 speed … i pull my 4200 pound gooseneck around everywhere .. its slow but it goes and to make it home up my big steep hill i gotta use 4 low
I figure since the 460 is capable of making lots of horsepower if i dont have enough horsepower to pull ill simply make more horsepower … thats what i do best anyway !!!
That's great 👍. They all seem like great trucks. I really loved the 460 Big Block it is one great engine! Changing out the gears is the right move. They are too low designed for that low-end torque down low for moving your payload or what you're towing but not usable on the highway. But as long as you've got power to pay with, you can change the gears and set it up the way you want it. Like you did, for work or play.
@@MotorMikeMedia as long as i can get around my area im fine .. i always use 4wd low to get up the hill to my house .. in my f150 i dont care to do the same in my f350 when im done with it .. its the gas mileage going down the hwy that im most concerned about !!!! Lol
I have the 88 F250 supercab 351 and 5 speed. I get 15 to 17 MPG over all. Also, those are not original seats. No head rest in 1988 trucks. Over all you have a very nice truck.
Thank you! It sounds like you have a very nice truck too ! Got to love an old classic truck!
Well if it's a classic, I guess I am too. I purchased mine new in 1987
@@MotorMikeMedia
Lol nothing wrong with being a classic they don't make them like they used to and it's awesome that you've had that vehicle for so long You really don't see that too often these days keep it running as long as you can.
@@DIYwithWayne thats awesome
If you think the Bricknose steering wheel is thin.....have you seen the Bullnose steering wheel?
Yeah it's extra thin lol
What should I look for and be cautious of when trying to buy a used truck from this time period and with this engine?
Well back in late '80s early '90s the diesel engines were pretty good for most makers I would look for the 7.3 powerstroke if you're looking for a Ford. Or a Cummings if you're looking for a Dodge. The Chevy diesel was just okayish at this time. As well as the majority of big block V8s we're pretty good making decent power and reliability. The 460 big block Ford is a great engine very reliable just keep your fluids full and change your oil and your good to go. The main thing to look for on these older trucks are rust on the body and underneath components as well as electrical issues making sure the wires have held up and haven't been chewed up by rodents or hacked up from people adding sound systems or trying to do their own electronics
I bought my 93 f250 with a lot of wear and tear..definatly look underneath...my leaf spring hangers were shot..drive shaft yoke about to break...leaking rear main seal..etc...get ready to spend alot of money in making it safe
Could i swap the 460 into same year f-150
Yes you can you have to get the engine mounts and move a few things it is a little bit of work but yeah you can put a 460 in a F-150 with just a little work & time! 👍
do you still have it. I just got one with 460 but a 4 speed manual. is yours a c6 auto?
Unfortunately I do not have anymore it was a great truck and you had the perfect combination That is very sought after people really want these older trucks with the 460 big block and its manual transmission! Yeah mine's just the auto. Thank you for watching 👍
@@MotorMikeMedia seems to get the same mpg tpwing as my dads friends godzilla towing same weight
@@ms.carroll5574 Oh Nice that's awesome the Godzilla engine is a great modern Big Block! 👍
I wonder if ANYBODY actually knows the payload capacity of an 88 ford f250. I had one years ago and could never get that question answered.
You know I really wish I had that answer too lol. You're so right You look it up and everyone has different information nothing is clear of exactly how much it can actually do I thought it was very bizarre that no Ford forum or brick nose group really knew the answer.
@@MotorMikeMedia I always understood that an F-250 was a 3/4 ton truck.
10,000 kbs
Not as good as the Bullnose??? I disagree.
Bricknose interior is much better built. And I like the more squared off look of the Bricknose.
Both are cool brick has better inside
Why’s the ford logo on the grill so small?
All logos were small, just getting larger over time!
@@MotorMikeMedia why’s the oval for the logo bigger than the actual logo?
@Ecchier That's just how they were nowadays.They get bigger and bigger now to compensate for how lack luster they are and how expensive they are, lol
@@MotorMikeMedia it’s not though, look up 8th Gen f250. I think the original one fell off of yours at some point so they replaced it with a smaller one.
@@Ecchier Oh ok i understand now sorry lol yes maybe it was replaced
I got the same truck mines white unfortunately I’m probably gonna sell cause there gas hogs but they drive very nice
They are really great trucks I sold mine because I got a good price for it I made a couple thousand on it cuz I bought it before things got crazy sold it when everything was super expensive but I do miss it a lot!
@@MotorMikeMedia yeah I’m hoping to get like 3k considering the prices for things right now
@@blackknight6 nice do it up! 👍
That's not an original seat
My 88 Supercab 4wd 7.3idi gets better fuel mileage than your truck. I regularly get 16mpg.
Nice!
Put a factory 1989-1991 grille in it for the blacked background. Also why do you post a shitload of video links in descrioption?
That would look pretty sweet and it's just links to other videos where I'm actually walking around talking about cars instead of me being in my room talking about new stuff for people that just want a easy way to see my car reviews or me working at cars.
NAT BAD IF THE GAS IS 129 A GALAN .BAT WANIS 9 A GALAN .GG .
Yup that's why I sold it but I made a couple grand on it so it was a win win. Had a cool truck when gas was cheap and made money when it went up.
I just watched your video where you were having problems with your fuel line between the tanks I thought you said it was an 89 f250
It was an 88 but I always would say 89 sorry about that lol the problem I was having was the fuel pump on the frame rail was Messed up inside so I was pumping my second tank over full of gas and pumping some gas onto the frame rail as well as it filled up the old charcoal canister filter full of gas lol
