idk how you guys get o2 sensors off up there and other rusted hardware!

@@mromatic17 we get really good at removing broken off bolts and using penetrating oil 😂 PS: a little prayer never hurt anything either

​@@mromatic17usually the cat rusts through long before the 02 ever needs to be replaced

@@swanaldmcdnld i just said o2 cuz they are always a bitch to get off just cuz of corrosion and you need a special socket to get them off

One of my friend's trucks had the body mount rusted completely out and it was sitting on the frame and he has a 90's bed on a 70's square body

lmao less rust than my 94 chev

Same here in New York lol

Same in Illinois (they use to much damn salt)

Same w PA

Less rust than my 04 explorer

Actively working on 2 in worse condition than this, you can get all of the patch panels for very inexpensive. Floor pans are $40 each, cab mounts are $26, bed corner and cab corners are $25 each, 16x48 bed patches are $40 plus 20 shipping, and door bottoms are $16. The entire rad support up front can be bought online for $300 but I got one for $100 in good shape in person. This one is 100% saveable, the worst you will see is major pitting around the cab mounts or the leaf spring shackles have rotted off, which they also make replacements for and things called "cab mount frame savers", which are circular patches that are the thickness of the frame and already have the hole cut out for the mounts. The actual main part of the frame on these usually doesn't rot, it's a "c channel" frame that does not hold salt, debris, or water and is part of the suspension, it is actually meant to flex.

​@@kg4boj GOBBLES BORTHER

Zoomer don't know shit keep on seething

@@LuwiigiMaster who wrote that? 😅

Many newer trucks have weak fenders wells. I'm thinking late model Chevys in the rust belt. And those chunky plastic fenders look gross.

I’ve seen 2015+ Chevy trucks rusting at the bed already mid Michigan baby

true 😂

@@ALCRAN2010 damn I haven’t seen many newer chevys rotting out. Around me it’s usually the dodges rotting out in a few years. Never forget my neighbor has a 12 ram and I swear by 2018 at the latest if needed bedsides done

​@@evanpelkey7864 ive seen dodges and chevys do it around where i live. Old vans and new fords seem to do alright. Hell my grandmothers 2014 F150 XLT is still going strong and hasnt rusted much at all. And we live out in the woods in a really humid area because we have a lake. That truck only gets out like max 3 times a day for maybe an hour or two. Little bit of rust on the frame but thats it. Ive seen other vehicles here that sit for less time rust out bad. Hell the ford isnt even well maintained idk how its still going. Doesnt get washed, maybe gets serviced like once every 3 years. But the kicker is, there are old cars here in arkansas that have sat under a tree for 20 or 30 years with no shelter and arent rusted out somehow. But its also arkansas so 🤷‍♂️

I'd like to see Chris Fix have a go at it tbh

What are you talking about that's like top 5 Tuesday material

I drove trucks that had PLYWOOD FLOORS and rubber mats over them.

I have seen worse than that just get some scrap metal or wood and put it over the holes and u should be fine. Those old Ford's will go forever

@@LionWithTheLamb My friend’s ‘93 C1500 has oven pans on the passenger side lol.

​@@bussin_busesthat's awesome

If the chassis was also rusted not surface rust, just deep rust. Can it be repaired still?

@@Vl0gWithAbif you know what your doing you sure can, just have to make sure your welds and supports are perfect if your gonna be taking out and replacing pieces of frame

@@whiskeythrottle9362 honestly at that point a full tube chassis might be easier

@@Vl0gWithAb if the body looks like that, and the chassis is rotten - it’s not financially or emotionally viable for anything other than rare uniques or sentimental value. Work to the rule of the 3’s fundamentals: Chassis Body Drivetrain You can take on a project to restore one of the above, but once you have to invest time and money on two or more to make it roadworthy it is better to walk away.

​@@KazeHorse frame swap and weld in new floor pans.

thats amazing man - cherish those moments with your pops

Wait. What happened in the last sentence here? 😂

@@JakeAdkinsOfficial sarcasm because that thing was a rustbucket of the highest order. Nothing new windows, new upholstery, and a bit of scrapwood couldn't fix though.

🤣 I guess its a plus being able to see what’s under you

I'm the same way with 90's Hondas/Acuras but not only was rust a big issue, people souped/riced them up. Cant find any honda older than '05 without it being rusted, bagged on or souped up (at least in my area).

I would still buy it’s awesome my dream truck

@@arditsadiku8474 so true we are very alike

​@@arditsadiku8474 lol my bad

Omg same bro. I want a 77 f150 supercab

Carpet is for when the floorboards rust out

​@GodOfRizz If you change the bed and fix the floor, you will have a truck for at least 500.000 miles more

@@agusw4720 you won't

@@CreeplayEU you really don't know a good old Ford truck

​@@agusw4720is there such a thing as a good ford. ?

@jothew1274 ofc there is, believe me, this old Ford has nothing to do with the new ones, you can ask to anyone who had one of these and they will tell you they are undestructible, specially with the 300 inline six, even some people says it is the most reliable inline 6 ever made

It's a feature. Flintstone brakes!

Yeah it's totally restorable but you won't make a profit on this thing lol

Tastefully Clapped

Why would I wanna make profit on a piece of history restore it and show it off

well you would 100% break even if it was restored and sold you could pick it up for 8k new bed,lights , floorpans,suspenison,chassis put a drop kit with air bags and a gt500 engine 4 point racing harness paired with a t56 you would easily make money from it but if i did that i would keep it

@@bobaldwin3244 when you put it like that oh for sure probably making a lil more that your putting into it but after all that who wouldn’t keep it

or a "go on a several thousand mile trip" truck

No it's not lol

​@@jdmking4776 you're most likely a city guy so you wouldn't understand

@@mudbog6769 Even if that was the case, which it's not. Doesn't mean it's not a piece of shit. Deal with it buckaroo.

​@@jdmking4776just needs a little welding, the frame didn't even start to peel yet 🤷‍♂️

@@swanaldmcdnld A LITTLE welding... Unreal. You've clearly NEVER worked on a rusted car. Add brand new suspension into that list as well since it's clapped and rusted too.

sneezing too hard may lead to it falling apart

Im not sure about that I had a old truck like that once and I currently have a older truck a k1500 with a sorta built 350 if u know u know there’s older trucks dont go down without a fight my old truck has been run heavy and depending on the motor it might have one of the best motors cord has ever made in it

I learned to drive manual on a '65 C10 with holes in the floorboard big enough to tell what roadkill you just drove over and quarter panels tied down with baling wire to keep them from flapping in the wind. Other than the bed floor, that's all easily repairable with a bit of sheet metal, a welder, and some know how.

You're thinking of the pinto XD

@@randy6742 right, forgot about the death trap on wheels

dude

I would do it Only to get beached at the entrance maybe

immediately snaps in half, turns to dust, and fades into the wind

​@@DrRyan82994 like that bigass jewel troll from Avengers Endgame did xD

He'll no at most it's a ok parts truck

​@@TxJacob713just needs new bed, floorboards and fenders, it's honestly in less bad shape than my 96 c1500 that's still gonna be on the road for a few years before I scrap it 🤷‍♂️

You mean a Fred Flintstone?

Dudes truck is made of tissue paper at this point. Lmao why would anyone want this? 😂

@@paulmashburn9915 most of that rust could be easily replaced within a couple weekends. As long as the frame doesn't have holes it's still a good rig.

I agree with you and I live in northern Illinois

I live in Upstate New York this trucks a gem. I have a 2011 F250 it's rusted right out and you can see through my box

Yeah I work on worse cars every day that are 10 years old. Not 50. Lol

Just imagine what the frame looks like. This is a deathtrap, to be taken behind the barn and shot.

@@macsmith2013 yeah you're not wrong but it's not really too hard to reinforced where the frame is damaged. And if it's too bad then you can go to like a junk order something and find a good F100 frame Betsy with that kind of truck I would throw a 390 big block in it with a four-speed manual and probably update the wheels and do a lot of minors stuff to after the bodywork and stuff like that

From my experience you can have trucks where the entirety of the floor boards and the rockers are gone, but the frames are fine. It seems to me c channel frames usually don’t rust out.

​@@macsmith2013you can see the frame in the video, it wasn't even peeling or cracked, so you can tell it's just surface rust 🤷‍♂️

@@macsmith2013 It will look fine. I am restoring a 79 F250 300 inline 6 4 speed 4x4 right now. The motor had 1 inch high of carbon under the valve covers, no oil in the transfer case or transmission. All of them are completely fine after I took them apart. There is also holes in the roof and the bed is partially non existent in the same spots as the video. The frame looks brand new, it even still has most of the black paint from the factory on it. The frames on these older trucks are C channels that are meant to flex as part of the suspension and literally can’t hold water.

you ain't wrong 😭

its not that bad. if you cleaned the shit out of it and patched it up it might be a good old truck. these old fords are hard to kill!

Wym the frame is still solid, it's not like the whole branch seat is held up by the floor boards alone, I've driven trucks with holes and rust worse than that 55mph+

They don't rust that far back just in the foot pan. You can fix it easy with a speed limit sign.

You guys experience the rust problem in Australia?

For a car like that it’s rare to find one with little rust like any car before 2002 here
