[TheRob916]

[RamblinAround]

@TheRob916 My first car when I was 16 was a 1977 F100. I've always liked the Fords with this body style. Thanks for checking it out!

[Needled247420]

[SupremeThunda23]

[RamblinAround]

@flyingdunker333 They really are great trucks. I have a 48 Ford F1 pickup, but underneath it's all from a 1978 F150 and F250. Thanks for watching!

[RamblinAround]

@emmanuel20090 I'm afraid that truck has already been sold. They do have a few other Ford pickups for sale though. Just check out their website at Gatewayclassiccars . Thanks for watching!

[2bigrednecks]

[RamblinAround]

@2bigrednecks They had $15995 on the window. Thanks for watching!

[DefenderX12]

Can you guys deliver these vehicles in enclosed trailers? I live in South Dakota, and it would be kinda hard for me to get down to St. Louis. And do you still have this Ford, how much are you asking since it's restored?

[RamblinAround]

@DefenderX12 They do deliver to nearly anywhere in the world. Just contact them through their website if you're interested in purchasing a vehicle. Gatewayclassiccars

[laclepabon]

love the seats :) it´s a beautifull truck wish i had one jejeje exelent video.

[RamblinAround]

@laclepabon It really is a beauty. Thanks for checking it out!

[lonespartan31289]

@laclepabon the seats are def out of a 97-03 type f150 because i have a 98' F150 and i have those seats, and they are damn comfy too! haha

[NathansBackwoods]

i wonder if they would trade me tail gates, I got a brown one that id trade, I have a thing for nice non-reproduction straight tail gates...LOL

[smalltownboy15]

good looking truck i have one that matches it in candy apple red and is liffted just a little with american racing wheels and mus=d tires. I am about to do a full restore to the body and plan in doing a burnt orange with most of the crome removed off.

[RamblinAround]

@smalltownboy15 My first truck was a 77 F100 in candy apple red. That burnt orange would look pretty cool on one I'm sure. Thanks for checking this one out.

[delsurway]

does anyone know how much will it cost to fix it like this?? i got a 1979 F-150 Standard but its getting more nd more rusty

[jock1454789]

this truck is awesome

[RamblinAround]

@jock1454789 It is pretty sweet, thanks for checking it out!

[IHcubcadet]

Sweet. Love those older f150s.

[RamblinAround]

@IHcubcadet It really is a great looking truck, thanks for checking it out!

[TheLionsDenNews]

That looks like a snapshot of my childhood, minus the rust.

[PonyPower71]

Beautiful truck! Would love to have that one in my garage. And that color of blue really makes it stand out. I really like the newer F150 touches that were added. Has the stock look with a little bling. Just enough to make it really look sharp and not be overdone like many are. Thank you for providing us all with these awesome videos.

[RamblinAround]

@azzarbprime Thank you very much for all your comments and support, I really do appreciate it. It's always nice when someone sees value in what your doing. I'll do my best to keep the vids coming.

[woodzo40]

Cool. I used to work with a guy that had that same year and color truck. his dad bought it brand new in 79. That truck says GIT R DONE all the way.. lol.

[RamblinAround]

@woodzo40 I really like the color on this one. It's a great looking truck. Thanks for checking it out!

[woodzo40]

@RamblinAround reminds me of Bigfoot.

[AddictiveBreedNICK]

Spewing we don't import the 7.3DT F250's here to Aus anymore

[RamblinAround]

@AddictiveBreedNICK Yep, the 7.3's are great engines. I'm a huge Ford fan in general, but obviously they've always been particularly great at building trucks. Thanks for having a look at this one.

[nickmanji]

this is a very nice looking truck that blue is awesome, i wish my old f250 could be this nice , keep all the vids comming

[RamblinAround]

@nickmanji That blue is definitely my favorite color on these trucks. Thanks for checking it out!

[HALLSYSKITCHEN]

i always liked that style ford ....thumbs up!!!!

[RamblinAround]

@HALLSYSKITCHEN It really is a sharp looking truck. Thanks for the comments!

[samspace81]

My dad had a '79 jacked up high with a 460 Ford in it back in the 80s. Mudding was very popular in the 80s here in Texas. The early days of Bigfoot and monster trucks.

[RamblinAround]

@samspace81 We've always liked lifted trucks around here too. I live about 30 minutes from the home of Bigfoot. Thanks for checking this one out.

[0IDaveCouch]

I love the F Trucks!! Nothing like them :)

[RamblinAround]

@0IDaveCouch I've always preferred Fords too, thanks for checking it out Dave.

[stressfactor03]

Man thats awesome!!! thanks for sharing!

Mj

[RamblinAround]

@stressfactor03 Glad you like it, thanks for having a look!

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

woowee! that's one mighty fine lookin Ford right there :)

[RamblinAround]

@JakeDaSnakeFilms It really is slick, thanks for checking it out!

[mwig50]

That's a good looking truck, my dad had a 77-78 or so 3/4 ton, just an old work truck, had the 360 in it though, tough as nails!

[FTORC1]

@mwig50 Ford never had a 360 in the F series. 360 V8's were found in Chrysler's and AMC's. These always had a 300, 302, 351, 390, 400, or 460 depending on which F truck and package. The most common engines from the factory, were kept all the way til current. Which were the 300 (later replaced in 97 by the 4.2), the 302 (aka 5.0, later replaced in 97 by the 5.4), and the 351 (aka 5.8, 3 types cleveland, modified, and windsor replaced later by the V10)

[mwig50]

@FTORC1 Let me phrase that better, according to my father it was a 1 ton frame with a 3/4 ton body built for a guy who owned an hvac business, I remember taking the tool boxes off of it as a kid. Whenever dad needed parts for the engine he always told the parts guy 360, and according to Wikipedia the 360 was put in 1 tons, so who knows. Dad was the Ford/Chevy guy in my family I am a more of a Mopar guy.

[FTORC1]

@mwig50 I bet he actually said 460. Or, at least the parts guy knew he meant 460. In the 1 ton chassis, the most common engine was the 460. At least, until the release of the IH 7.3L IDI diesel. I don't trust anything on wiki, because it's all purely user submitted information. However, I did find instances of a 360FE. It was a 390 with a 352 rotating assembly. Still technically a 390, but the 352 rotating assembly changed the displacement to 360. That orphan, was made from 73-76.

[FTORC1]

@mwig50 The 3/4 ton trucks, generally utilized the 351, 390, 400, or 460. None of which could be mistaken for a 360. Commonly, the 390 and 400 get mistaken for each other due to similarity. The 390, however, was typically found in Thunderbird's and Lincoln's. It's rare to find any F series with the 390, but they are known to exist. Most people distinguish the 2 as 400 and 400M (400M being the actual 400).

[mwig50]

@FTORC1 I owned a 1967 Ford Galaxie with a 390, great engine! Loved it.

[lllllll5s]

Very cool truck!

[RamblinAround]

@lllllll5s It really is a clean one. Thanks for taking a look at it!

[gpfordstang302]

man I cant get enough of the 70s-80s Ford trucks!

[RamblinAround]

@gpfordstang302 They are great trucks for sure. I've had a few and I had good luck with all of them.

[talfacprez]

That from back when FORD trucks were good.

[RamblinAround]

@talfacprez They really are great trucks. Thanks for checking it out.

[mbyr31]

Very nice truck! I should show this to my buddy. He has a pieced together '73 - '79 F-250 high boy. This looks very similar to his truck, only MUCH nicer!!! LOL!

Great truck man. Thanks for sharing.

[RamblinAround]

@mbyr31 Our 48 Ford basically has one of these hidden underneath it. They are great trucks, thanks for checking it out!

[ckobesko]

These are the trucks we built in the 80's to mud and hunt in the upper peninsula of Michigan

[RamblinAround]

@ckobesko Everyone seemed to have one here in my area of Illinois too. They sure were some great trucks. I had three with this body style over the years and they all held up well.

[THEORBITALEFFECTX1]

thats a beautiful truck man i miss the old ones now thats build ford tough you can hit them and you would walk away with a scratch now a days they have all this plastic and luxury shit

[RamblinAround]

@THEORBITALEFFECTX1 I can definitely attest to their toughness. I've had a few of this body style Ford and they held up real well.

[cisjohn2616]

That's memory lane for my age bracket....My buddy had one !.....I thought it had a 360 engine in it.....

[RamblinAround]

@cisjohn2616 Seemed like everyone had these around here too. Thanks for checking it out.

[knifipu]

[RamblinAround]

@Hawk5392 You'd come up 55N and cross over into Illinois. It's Exit 6 off of 55-70 at Route 111. It's the exit for the Great River Road, Pontoon Beach, and Washington Park.

[ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

bazai blue metalic make my heart stopped for a moment...

[RamblinAround]

@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT It's one of my favorite colors for sure. Thanks for having a look.

[eviltrucks101]

i love that year. that blue caught my eye. all around its an awsome truck and i thumbs up to.

[RamblinAround]

@eviltrucks101 It really does look sharp in that blue. Thanks for checking it out!

[paradoxdesigns]

weird to see that as a "classic" i still see some of them driving around once in awhile. in pretty good shape, too! but i guess its a lot different out west.

[RamblinAround]

@paradoxdesigns I know what you mean, but they are over 30 years old now.

[1963impala2dr]

nice!

[RamblinAround]

@1963impala2dr Thanks for checking it out!

[pulse0000]

Nice

[RamblinAround]

@pulse0000 It is pretty slick. Thanks for having a look.

[monarch1957]

A friend of mine is restoring on a F250 should look like new when it comes out of the body shop.

[RamblinAround]

@monarch1957 I'm glad to see some people out there preserving them. My first vehicle was a 77 F100 Custom and my second was an 84 F150. Neither one looked as good as this one though.

[bisquik3006]

She is a peach. BTW great job with your intro. 

[RamblinAround]

@bisquik3006 It really is a good looking truck. It's rare to find them this nice. Glad you like the intro....my brother made it for me. Thanks for watching.

[805ROADKING]

You don't see to many of them restored, they're usually run into the ground or made into mudders!!☺

[RamblinAround]

@805ROADKING You're right about that, they usually get beat up pretty bad. This one is real straight. Thanks for taking a look!
