I drive a 1991 until 2009, throughout high school and undergrad delivering pizzas. Finally traded it in when they did the ‘cash for clunkers’ thing. I regret that dearly.

I drive an 89 f150 single cab short bed 302 5 speed 4x4 I only wish it was a long bed, but I love that thing so much

Ford produced those eighth generation F-series pickups from 1987 through 1991, & same with the fullsize Broncos with that same body style.

My granddad had a 1987 f250 as his work truck and the he parked it and let it set. Around 8 years ago my dad got it and started restoring it now it is a slick truck but still needs a lot of work. I plan of fixing it up and getting new wheels, tire, and exhaust. It is going to be my first vehicle, can’t wait to start working on it.

I have a 91 f150, the only difference between mine and yours is that I have an automatic. I love that thing dearly

I agree 10,000 isn’t correct. Ford put the towing capacity for the 4.9 f250 at 6,500lbs. You would need to upgrade to the 460ci gas motor or 7.3 diesel to tow 10,000+ pounds.

​@@Petrol360the 300i6 was used in the F-super duty (f450+) and it definitely was capable of towing 15,000+ lbs. You're underestimating the i6 + ZF5. This is NOT the m5OD transmission

I'm in process of restoring a 91 just like this one in your review. It's been sitting since 2017 and it started right up with a simple charge. The motor was running a bit rough, it had ORIGINAL plugs in it, and they were nasty. And yes, they are work trucks, great review. The one I am restoring is white with blue interior, and blue pin strips. The interior is in great shape, same stock radio, seats a mint. I am loving it

I own a 1988 F150 with this same powertrain setup (300ci engine / m5od transmission). It’s probably a matter of personal opinion, but I find it very fun to drive. The newer ones are nice and more comfortable, but “fun” is a subjective term.

My dad used to have a 1990 f-150 with the 5.0 he got a good deal on it because it was a lariat with a manual transmission and it got terrible fuel economy but it was a cool truck

I have a 89 no od , loves to eat some gas up. But I love the beast, like you said will pull anything. Alot different than my 04 , but they have a comfortable ride, it's a real truck for sure.

I daily drive a 1994 Ford F-150 4X4 XLT regular cab SWB 5.0 5 speed and I love driving my truck! it only has 108k miles plus its as reliable as transportation can get. It’ll go through pretty much any terrain and it’ll start every time. plus I drive it like a tractor and manage to get 18mpg which isn’t bad at all for 3.55 gears and a V8 4x4 truck!

Love the fleet watch decal!!! It has held up well regardless of the elements.

It’s just called a 5spd. ZF5-42 2nd gear isn’t low enough for regular starts in 2nd. Use 1st gear unless you’re rolling.

Sweet old truck real work horse true truck love it no vanity mirror in that old girl that's for sure.

Custom tended to mean the dual tank, Power Steering, AC, and little factory opinions that were added. If it were the base model. It most likely wouldn't have any of that stuff. I drive a 84 Ford Ranger 7ft bed. 5-speed V6. I drive it daily.

I got the same center console in my f250 too 😂😂

@5:45 This wasn't really the era of "trucks were trucks". Compare the 70's trucks to the 1988 XLT Lariat super cab. I have both and the 88 XLT Lariat has tilt, A/C, captain's chairs, great carpet, etc... It's really comfortable like a modern truck. The "custom" is the entry level and this was an era when they really started adding luxury to pickups. Do a compare to a fully loaded XLT Lariat super cab and you'll see. Very important era in pickups.

Okay all the bricknose guys i got a question my dads got a f350 dually 460 5 speed single cab. Only bad part is it has a dump on it, i wanna make it have its normal bed but i feel like the chassis is super long. Is it possible to do it?
