As nice as that “ patina “ is, I do believe it would benefit from a wash

What?! People don't like long beds? Long beds are what makes a truck a truck!

Jay has such a great since of humor, love the channel

I don't know why, the Dirty Dodge Speaking cracks me up!

Love those old fords

I would have it still my 1967 Ford F250 Ranger is a longbed but I love that truck

Once again I'm really sad these are so dang rare over here in germany. I'd love one of those Also: If I could get one of those, I'd choose a long bed over a short bed any time.

Love seeing old vehicles like this still being used and kept as is

The Rampage radio is the selling point 😂😂😂

That Is A FE 360 Or 390 Engine. Yes That Is 1971 Ford Factory Air Conditioning. My Dad Still Has His 1971 F250 Camper Special That He Bought New And His Also Has Factory AC. Thanks For Sharing

That was so funny seeing the truck talking back to you keep it up

Love those older body style Ford pickups. I had a 91 F150. It was my daily and never let me down. I got a real chuckle out of the "gits and shiggles" comment. 👍😂😂

Love to see southern vehicles,they last longer

"She's a beaut Clark!"

I love that Ford truck! It's worthy of a good restoration..... they bring in good money, even with the long box.

That is an FE motor either 360 or 390. 351-400m came alot later. Sweet truck!

Cool truck I have a 77 f150 myself it’s my first truck.

Hey, I had conversations with my vehicles too...so if that's a mental health issue, I'm doing ok 😁

I just love the sound of that truck. Sounds mean as hell. Jay you are funny. Another winner

I've owned a 69 F100 with the 240 i6, and a 69 F250 Ranger Camper Special with the 360 V8, both 4 spds, both awesome trucks!

I have a 1970 ford ranger same color but mines a short bed!! I like longbeds!!😎👍

Great video! Love the truck👍 My wife and I picked up a 71' F350 camper special with the 390 and C6 tranny 6 months ago. We are doing a full frame off restoration on it.

I like how it idles...

Sweet a 71. Uncle had one for a long time, cousin has a 72. Both F100s.😀

Just got on the video and I already know it’s a good one. Take care and stay safe jay

There's 18 and a half minutes of my life I'll never get back... But then again wouldn't have it any other way, it's always enjoyable to waste time watching cool old iron I'll never own & definitely good to hear from ol' dirty dodge getting her 2 cents worth in :) If I didn't know better, from how well everything still works in that old Ferd & how straight it looks I'd say it could have been under 7k miles... Obviously it's not gonna be, but I do think it might only be 106 not 206 from the way stuff isn't just worn slap out like the door tag & brake pedal.

Wow, that was touching. I had to go sweet talk my old Ford.

Beautiful roaring engine love it

Now I wanna hear what the cavalier has to say to you lol

The 71 f250 sounds really good by the way

That Ford is in beautiful shape to restore, or great to use as is. Jay may have a future as a ventriloquist! Stay tuned for Jay, The Dirty Dodge, and Socko!!

AUDIOVOX was a huge brand name in car audio, over the globe in the 1970s. Brought back happy memories. Thanks. Also reminded me of my age, but that's another story for another day.😆😂😂🤣😅

I watch a lot of videos on vehicles but no one has ever shown these features on an old camper special awesome I learned something today

Outstanding camper special! If I had a nickel for every manifold gasket I have changed on a FE block over the years-well I could buy - another gasket set... I made a sticker for my old Ford truck - it says “driver and truck are navigating through a mid life crisis-please be patient”. Not sure if the thumbs up as they pass by is for me or or old Joline - but we like the attention all the same. Thanks for sharing Jay - made the evening!

Camper Special XLTs had 351, 360, 390 and 460

Love that truck wish I could afford to buy it good to see you Jay take care buddy

Love my long bed on my 81 ranger xlt but just love the look of the flareside bit love the long bed for everything else but that sure is sone pretty patina on that old girl

She looks beautiful Jay.

Omg! You seriously crack me up! Why is the dirty dodges voice so high 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I prefer the long bed for the reason you can do much more with them

My first truck was was a 1973 ford f-100! It was my granddad truck! He bought it brand new back in 1973! It only has like 53,000 on it! New old truck you got right there!

Engines were 300-6 302/360/390. All those engines were available in F-100 to F-350. Transmissions were C-4 for the 300 and 302, 360/390 got the C-6. The A/C is factory, as you can see, there wasn't much in the way of venting, even though it was factory, it was pretty much an add-on. After a while, it did work, and it would freeze full blast. All in all, a helluva truck. Especially the XLT option. Usually these came in outside wood trim too. Real weirdo was the gas tank on the frame, and a plastic 2 door cabinet setup behind the seat.

Nice written intro here. Reminds me of your essay on your old friend who died and his wife brought his old truck into the junkyard.

That’s definitely an fe engine 360 or 390. Pretty nice truck I love the 67-72s

Sweet truck😍

Boy those old school A/C compressors were huge. Big old cast iron lumps by the look of them. Always enjoy your videos. You and your family seem like a cool bunch. The house is looking good as well. Thanks for the regular video posts.

Great video always! I like the long bed better in the 3/4 ton Ford’s

Laughing my ass off dirty Dodge fussing at the filthy Ford. You're the man Jay!

Nice old truck ...I have a 69 the thing about the Ford's they were built to last switches , knobs etc I'm not surprised everything works on that 52 year old truck ...

You have a gem there!

Absolutely love my 84 S10 *long bed*!!! Useful small truck!

wow ! sound great

I would LOVE to have that truck. Looks great for its age

Beautiful old truck, I love these monsters

SUCH A BEAUTIE! Looks like a foxxo

Sweet truck!

I have the same truck except mines a sport custom. Even has the under dash a/c. Mine was originally green but painted it blue and white. Good pickups. Fun pickups

I had a 76 Super Cab F250 390 4V with 1 ton rear bed had toolboxes in the bottom of the bed

God I remember your 88 ranger that y’all used to have about three years ago I believe, and by the way this reminds me of my old high school days when I used to do sports there, our school colors were orange and black!

What a great looking Truck,even if she is old and knocked about, she's still a pretty little thing. 😍

Good looking Truck

So THAT'S what the Dirty Dodge sounds like! 😆

That toolbox is pretty cool Jay!

Miss seeing those old trucks on the road.

When it's nice and dry spray a red rattle can..maybe red rattle enamel..and spray that hood before it starts to rot through...I like the rustic aged patina to it..it tells it's story and gives it character.

Looks cool as hell.

Dont sleep on the LWB they're great classic trucks, and can usually be bought at a better price than their SWB counterparts

A truck like that is highly collectable here in Elmira NY as as where you are

Would love to have that truck . Love the dash my favourite .

They had 352’s, 360,s and 390,s. I had a 76’ SuperCab F250 with the 390. I believe 78’ got the “new” 351M400. We bought a 78’ Bronco XLT with the 351M. My dad was some proud of having the “new” engine platform. That’s what the salesman told him anyway. I’m still rolling the 65 F100 stepside. Unfortunately, it has the 260 L6 with the 3 speed manual on the column. Someone tried to steal it last year but couldn’t figure out the shifter. At least they left the keys in it for me!

Build Ford Tough, i love it 😊👍

I would love to have a 70s ford pickup. Dad had a 75 f100 4x4, 360 4 speed. He had it for 20 years plowing snow hauling firewood. Still ran when it went to the junkyard with 213,000 miles on it.

Jay I know Smokers use those windows to flick ashes and throw butts out the window, although here in WI we always called them Vent or Wing Windows. Nice if the car doesn’t have AC or your in the highway and want air flow without the window rolled down.

The side toolbox came on the half tons too. But it's a sweet truck

So much want, I love the color and body style. Put a 12valve in it, freshen the paint with some polish, turn it into a highboy, oh it’s perfect.

And the Dirty dodge has a voice Lol 😆😆😆🤣 the old Ford is Bitchin!!!! I enjoy going with you on your adventures, not boring at all.

Love that body style. Great Trucks

What a world of difference 50 years make. Hard to believe this was the top of the line XLT trim level in 1971. Lots of painted metal on the interior, no power anything. This was when a pick up was still A REAL TRUCK !!! Now people want power everything, heated and cooled leather seats, automatic running boards, remote start, navigation, etc. I wonder what someone from 1971 would think of todays modern trucks ???

Love that style of ford truck ,I would rather have the long bed.

I'm a chevy guy but I like this style and the bull noses

What a beauty!

Such a sweet old rig. I talk to my cars to maybe.....

Cool Ford 😀

I don't mind a long bed. She needs a little help, but what a nice old truck 👍

I bet Danny Koker or Richard Rawlings would probably like this pickup.

What a nice truck

I'm buying a 1986 Ford Econoline 150 conversion van with the big six engine and three speed column shift manual, it's a true survivor, it's a northern van that isn't rusted out and only has 55K miles on it, ran like a champ for awhile until the previous owner put Ethanol blend gas in it which killed the fuel system, I'm only paying a grand for it since it doesn't run, it's also a 2 owner van, the first owner sold it in 2012 when it had 52K on it, second owner only put 5K miles on it because she wanted to keep it nice, I've had my eyes on this van ever since I saw it for sale back in 2012, I plan on converting from a sbc to EFI with a setup off a late 1980s early 1990s six cylinder F-150, from the looks of it it ought to bolt on and work with minor adjustments and give a minor power and torque gain as well as better starting and reliability

352, 360, 390, 428 in the FE family. I had a Mercury 410 Super Marauder in the '71 F250 I had with the Edelbrock intake, '64 big-valve heads, Comp Cam set up....it was a torquey machine

Having a conversation with your vehicle is normal...I do it all the time and people just get used to me arguing with the vehicle as if it can understand what i say.( I am sure the vehicle understands) lol Oh and that Old Ford is perfect! I want one but people seem to think they are made out of gold here in South Bama!

I miss your 88 Ranger man!

That's an FE, probably a 360. The shitty 400/351M was only like 77-80. FEs are great, that one needs some tuning though big time. FEs have a wide intake that the valve covers partially go over and the push rods go through the intake. They also have a unique water pump and it has that short hose going from the pump to the intake.

Nice pickup truck

That IS factory A/C. That's how Ford did factory air in their pickups from 67'-72' until the updated 73's came out and they FINALLY integrated it.

That’s an FE block so it’s either a 360 or 390 so probably a 360. The 400 you’re referring to is the 351M/400. Not to be confused with the 351 Windsor which was used until like 1997. The 351M/400 replaced the FE block in the trucks in 1977. So my guess is you have a 360 truck jay

I don't know about the trucks, but I had a friend who had an 06 Magnum with the 5.7 that would randomly lose electrical power while driving and reset itself while still running, and would occasionally refuse to start, the electrics would come on, but it just wouldn't crank. After it left us stranded in a parking lot, he finally figured out it was the BCM. At least something worth looking into for your truck.

Put a crankshaft position sensor on the dodge. It will do everything you have been saying especially the check engine light.

I think i'm in love!

That compartment is for the spare tire. On the old style odometers you can tell if they have gone over 100K by the letters not lining up top to bottom. That old Furd F-2fitty is probably a matching numbers survivor but looks to have been worked long and hard.

Long bed is awesome my opinion

I like that old truck she's nice still don't got a ford tho
