I would like to do in the very near future a body swap Crown Vic frame on a F100 body best of both worlds. Crown Vic uses the Frame anyways.

That’s a good old truck. Just a basic work truck. Those engines last forever.

I love this little truck, especially with the 5-speed. That body looks in great shape and if that is a 300-6 which I suspect it is, those engines are damn near bulletproof. I hope this finds a good home. This is another truck I'd love to buy if I were closer, I bet there is a lot of life left in it.

THAT is a truck that has character. A bare bones vehicle with no options, and very inexpensive to repair if repairs are needed. By the condition of the body, that truck is worth saving for the right person.

Nice! Right up my alley. It will run, suspect without much tinkering. That door lock was a high tech innovation in 81. Just enough to confuse the driver for the first 6 months of ownership. When Ford gave up on the rim blow horn in the 70’s they figured this was a great new way to interject panic and confusion to their loyal drivers. Thanks Jay, very much enjoyed this one. Good wishes to pops!

One of the last generations of the Ford F100, before they phased out completely in 1983. She's a keeper Jay, although the radio is ugly AF and sticks out like a sore thumb

It just needs head gasket new Dashboard new carpet new seats, a little bit of paint and maybe retrofit aircondition...just not worth it for a straigth six slow snail gas hungry truck? It is valuable only if you have another rusted truck with lots of features

My 81, straight 6, 4 on floor….2 21 gallon gas tanks/I could get 20 mpg and drive 800+ miles without stopping! I had a canopy and on long trips the wife and 2 kids would ride back there, coming and going thru the cab windows! Bed was carpeted, twin fold out couch, lights, cooler, porta potty. We did a trip a year from Colorado to Oregon. Times change. Loved that truck!

I love mine!! It was given to me by a neighbor that had no parking space. It ran but barely. I took out the 300 st six and my mechanic put in a 2017 5.0 from a wrecked mustang. I added a Paxton supercharger and she’s a beast! We put it on the dyno a month or so ago. It was making 648hp to the rear. Next on the list is breaks and paint.

Good reliable truck, nothing to break on it!

I bought a truck like that, but it had a 302 w/ a 5spd and dual gas tanks. Man I miss that truck.It had a granny 1st gear that would pull a house off its foundation,it was geared so low.

They're popular simply because they are great trucks that are easy to work on. Plus when it comes to customization, the sky is the limit with one of those. Rat rod truck, anyone?

I had an 81 Custom F100, mine had AC, and power brakes/steering. I loved that truck. It was a 4 spd, but 4th gear was OD. Probably the same here. 4th wasn't actually an OD gear, it had like 276 ratio rearend, and the first 3 gears were really low ratio. A neighbor bugged me and bugged em until I sold it to him. I wish I had never let go of it though. it was great old truck.

Back in the sixties I had this little part time job working for this cheap boss and the local newspaper ran an ad for the cheapest model Ford pickup so they could show the lowest price. He went down there and bought one. 6cyl 3 on the tree, rubber floor mats manual everything, no radio, one sunvisor, no armrests, nuttin. plain white with a gray seat. He drove that sucker for years, don't recall it ever breaking down. lol

Thats really rare for one of these to be in such good shape. The f100 in those days was the absolute cheapest option and usually they got used really hard and bullnoses in general tend to have really bad problems with rust especially rear wheel well rot. Dont crush it or anything. Worse comes to worse the cab and box will be worth a lot to people who are restoring a bullnose

Wow great looking old truck. Would be a great canvas for someone.

Would love to fix this one up. 👍 Second year for that body style, final year for the Ford letters across the hood. My cousin has an 86 F150 Lariet.....it still runs and drives, they last a long time.

Creeper 4 spd....all the 5 speeds had pretty much straight shift levera

That's a perfect work truck got yall out there

Another short box...... and rust free to boot...... none of that exists here

Cool old truck. Its in fairly good shape. Cool truck.

it even has no tachometer... very unique truck

Clean f100 custom perfect candidate for a coyote swap or even 4.5 5.4 swap

My type of truck. Got a barebones ‘76 gmc I’m working on right now. Shortbed, straight 6, three on the tree, no power anything. Funny you mention sitting in the engine bay to get at stuff. I had to change the tube for the mechanical oil pressure gauge. Climbed in and sat in the engine bay when I ran it around the back of the motor. Was the easiest way to do it

I mean this is the perfect project truck that you could make into anything, keeping it standard, offroad rig, lowered road monster, drag truck or just the regular old v8 swap

That F100 needs to be saved. Worth a lot more than scrap!

that's a neat truck. gotta love simplicity. Hope your dad is doing well.

I'm watching this video 4yrs later. Hope it was sold to a good buyer and restored.

A heater core. Someone enjoyed the life of luxury.

That engine is sweet and that's a cool looking gear shift knob. I'm no fan of the 80s trucks though early 90s and 73-79 are my favorite. Last of the F100 trim.

those type of engines are able to run with the bare min of anything it may not be a cool red light racer but it will go the distance. i used to own a 1977 ford f-100 explorer and the last thing i remember about it was a 302 v-8 and dual glass packs and a lot of rusted out panels that provided free air flow

originally I believe there would be a block off plate as the truck has a spot "option" for 4x4 and that is where the selector would have gone if it had that option.

Somebody's going to have fun restoring that

This 81 is very restorable, I just bought an 83 last fall for scrap value, much worse body condition. rust. Now 6 months later it's ready for the road.

Thats what the custom trim and continuation of the f100 line was a legacy option. You still had a huge segment of people in the early 80s who wanted no power anything

I would love that tailgate

Nice honest old truck.

I had one like that put power steering drives like a dream

Amazing truck!

That Bullnose has a lot of potential.

I love those old fords. It’s a bullnose not a brick nose, haha

Great first truck.

It’s the same age as me lol (And it is probably in better shape haha) Still can’t get over how little rust y’all have down there! And yeah the 80-82 Fords had the slider locks

Jay my dude you gotta tell me man, What is y'alls website or even your address? I'd love to come down and buy one or even more trucks/cars from y'all.

Barebones farm truck is what that things good for.

That's a damn cool truck, I'd fix it for sure. Friends dad had one up until 2004ish

Great old truck. I would take it

Why on earth would anyone sell that for scrap! People really don’t know what they got. If I was livin your side of the pond, I would buy it and restore back to its former glory! Cool truck

And I thought my 1989 ranger with the 2.3 was simple to work on, wow, I’d actually like to have that.

What is this crap Jay? A real truck that can be used as truck? One that does not require a degree in computer/information technology so that it can move forward and backward? One that can be easily worked on with normal tools? That did not require payments for 84 months? What were they thinking back then? (Sarcasim). Love it of course and I can defintely see why this would sell as myself and many others would love this to fix-up and use as truck and not as an over-priced toy. My brother had one like that many years ago except he had an 8' box on his and looking @ today's over priced/over rated toys that they try to pass of as trucks - would love this! Definiitely a keeper and worth getting running and fixing up somewhat to sell it. Wish you had more of a background on it as to why whomever did not fix it but instead junked it out for reasons no known or understood but cool! What is happening with the bright orange 250 from months back? Was hoping to see more video on that.....????? Thank You! :-)

with the shift knob and radio it was a kids truck. I bet the Duraspark gets hot and shuts it down like so many did. Then it was just an old truck off to the junkyard. The Duraspark distributor will run with a GM HEI module pretty reliably. I bet it will sell pretty quick

I have a 1978 F100 Custom that is specked exactly the same as this one except I have a 3 on the tree.

Hey Jay smart remember a long time ago when I said my brother was looking for a truck and you had was that two tone red with a white stripe. Well he just bought one with no rust exactly like that f150

I had a 1986 Ford F-150 same color that was stolen 3 years ago same color rims with straight six with air cond power steering etc but it had a bed off of a f250 on it the body was perfect the frame was soft I still see it every now and then and I called the cops to let them know I saw it but they told me since there was no plate and they didn’t know where it was going they really couldn’t do anything ran like a dream

Ford F-100 Big Stick . 300 six and a Manual trans. Simple truck and sold for cheap new. Fix the head and put it up for sale.. They still sell well.

Overall it looks in pretty decent shape. If I was closer I'd buy it.

This thing is a beauty.

i remember in 86 my uncle bought a new ford truck without a rear bumper and a 300 6 cylinder for 7995, he pulled a boat and couldnt get the truck to get the boat out of the water with the high gears in the rear end

I would seriously love to buy that truck dang nice not bad for a 81 I mean yeah carpet and some things are missing but hell I can go to junkyards and pretty much get everything I needed lol to finish it or Make it better I love to buy that live to see a video of it running or something please do!!!

Simple reliable and easy to fix at home.

# $ave the fords

Those 7th generation Ford F-series pickups are rare nowadays, especially ones with just manual steering & manual brakes like that one there.

Many years ago, we had a 1980 F150 Custom. It was a long bed with a 4 speed manual transmission. It had a brown/beige exterior with brown interior. The truck was pretty beat up, because it was used as a work truck all of it's life. Even though the truck was beat up, I actually miss it.

300 six 4 speed came with a super low rear gear 4:10/4:11 run forever just don't over rev em

You're looking at a basic stock no option truck with a 300 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder and probably a 4-speed.

Aww man a 300 6 too! Exactly what im trying to find. Why do you gotta be so far away haha. Those engines go forever. I get about 30mpg in mine with the 4 speed too

I like the licence plate floor patch panel. its only got 1 gas tank instead of 2

They sure don’t make them like that anymore
