    There’s nothing as cool or as uniquely sounding as an old Ford. I have 72 F250 Camper Special, and I just love admiring it’s looks. Thanks for the post.

    Hi from the UK, I’m going to pick up a 1971 F250 Camper Special this morning, bog standard, my 1st American vehicle, and your video has confirmed I’m doing the right thing!

      I mean come on.....the steel on these vehicles is like 10 times thicker than the vehicles of today. I have a 1970 F250 and the thing is a freakin' tank.

      i love my shitty old ford truck. its just so exactly what you think it is. its an old gas hog that has a v8 4x4 and a 5 speed manual. Its a tank in the snow and I love being able to just get in and running through the gears. plus it will drive over pretty much anything.

    The fact that I can barely hear you over the engine isn't a problem for me. I'd love to hear that rumble every time I got behind the wheel.

      Over time it gets old. Going to change the exhaust soon. It will still have that rumble, just not as loud.

    to stop the vapor lock you get a plastic carb spacer and they have these fuel filters that have a little outlet on them to release any pressure if the gas starts to boil.

    Nice truck and great video for anyone thinking about daily driving an old truck. I used to have a 73 F100 and your video exactly describes what it was like.

    That is a nice truck. I had a 1970 green and white f100 that looked just like that in the 80’s, I drove it in high school, it was a 3 on the tree, 302 V8, same lights on top.

    With good maintenance, there’s no reason to be worried about reliability. I have a ‘69 f250, a ‘72 f350 and a ‘53 f100 and they’ve never let me down. Proper Preventative maintenance will make owning these treasures always enjoyable.

    Is it possible to make the exhaust quieter? I like my 1970 F250, but wish it was a little quieter.

    How is the ride? I saw that is has a like a shackle from the rear that puts some tensions in the springs to keep a softer ride when not under load. I really think it’s a beautiful truck but I do have a bad back so I can’t really handle harsh suspension.

    Great Video, I’m contemplating buying a 68 f250. My dad always drove older vehicles and I grew up riding around in a 68 c10. I also build hot rods and own a 1949 Studebaker R series but I don’t daily it. I love that you choose to show early morning commute. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most is early morning drives.

    I have the same truck. I find that starting can be tricky, but two good pumps on the accelerator usually does the trick. Not three for once it's flooded you're looking at 30 minutes. But the collector plates and not having to DEQ or register every year is freaking awesome. Mine has the FE390. Yes, it will roast the tires.

      Get an electric fuel pump and run the fuel through your stock mechanical fuel pump.

    I had a '67 f250 in the late '80's, but sold it to a nagging neighbor that had to have it, and I wanted a 4x4. Drove my father-in-laws '76 f250 camper special for 10 years working on the property until my brother-in-law took it just because. Now I'm thinking about a '70 f250 4x4 because I could use a real truck on my property...
