That truck must be in seventh heaven--it was rotting away, forgotten in a field, and now it's back on the road and getting lots of tlc. Kudos to you for your skill and attention to detail. I'm really enjoying following this series.

I'm impressed. That interior is in better shape than i thought it would be.

Looking great. I did a mod on my 70 F100 years ago to make it shift better. “Better” being not so much lever travel. The holes on the two levers at column end had elongated and the bushings were sloppy. I made two T s about 2 inches long, same width as the column lever and the bar of the T 1/2 inch tall and 1/2 wider than the vertical part of the T. I used 1/8 steel. I bent the bar ends 90 degrees and drilled the hole in T so It aligned with center of the shift rod hole. Short carriage bolt and flat washer to hold lever with those bent bar ends on the T to keep lever from slipping. I drilled hole on end the diameter for new rod bushings. The stroke of shift lever was little more than half of original and the effort was higher but not bad. Sort of a Hurst shifter for 3 on the tree.

I've been watching this series of videos from the beginning and have to say you have serious skills! Love the truck and really enjoy your videos.

So very impressed with all of your efforts! I love seeing these older vehicles get a fresh breath of life.

We are in the process of reviving our 77' Flareside 2wd interior, floor pans, custom seat upholstery, new wheel , carpet, dash pad and integrated tablet PC :D Videos to come just getting parts in! Awesome truck BTW!

Great job. So good to see younger generation doing this work. Keep up the love for the old rides.

Truck is looking fantastic bud, been great seeing this thing come to life.

That inner floor support section you referred to is actually the underside of your cab mount. If you're adjusting your door striker and can't seem to get it to go in further, try bringing your striker out more. I've seen other people who couldn't get it right and they ended up bringing the striker out and the door sits further in. Trucks looking awesome. I've enjoying watching the entire process!

Just subscribed, I was watching your engine videos. I have a 77 f100 just waiting to be worked on. Watching these videos and your craftsmanship give me the itch. Keep on truckin' man!

Cool video as always. I'm following along with your progress and enjoying the videos. Hope you keep them coming.

Thanks for the idea, got a farm 73 f100 long bed passed down from in-laws, going to convert it to a short bed and I love the brown interior gunna search those for my truck!

I'm loving your channel as I've got a 68 F 100 long bed that needs shortening and all the rest of the attention you're giving your truck... very informative channel for me, for sure .

Just bought a 1969 f100 ranger last week and I have zero mechanical experience. These videos are amazing. I am learning so much!

Man, fantastic job. That's gonna be one sweet ride when you're finished. You sure have put a lot of work in that old girl and it really shows!

LMC truck has everything you need to restore that ol truck.

Great job! Looks good. I like the matched seat and dash.

I really love the content and that old seat is in really good shape

Heck of a good video. Real nice job. Learning a ton as I follow along. Thanks for posting.

Looks phenomenal! Giving me ideas for my 77!

I Love what you've done with this trk., & the direction you're going in! will get started on mine in the spring.

That interior turned out really nice.

Love it! One thing. You always want you weather strip to butt up at the bottom. Less chance of leaks and air noise.

you are doing great on this project..i wish i had a paint booth and a big garage.

Prettier than the prom queen. I owned the four wheel drive new with three ninety and four speed.....$2300.oo bucks paid and out the door. I loved that truck particular cause it refused to quit, white top and bottom and turquoise sides and interior. I was a good mechanic but body work had eluded me at that time so every couple three years Marty's paint and body did the whole truck while running gear sast in my shop refreshing everything that needed attention.I hope that you can see the difference in those two engines that you have as those ribs stand out once your eye catches it, those horizontal casting marks. I think you have heard of uncle Tony's garage or something close. I think he would know this and then he is mostly mopar so might be a short straw... Deboss might know

The gun rack is awesome! I had one in my 67!

My late brother worked at the local Ford garage (Harrison Ford) for a number of years 60-s to 90-s. Trim levels in PU's could be sparse, non-padded dash etc. The headliner on yours was probably a gray cardboard with black or white mottled coloring. Depending on the color, trim level and customer he would extend the red line on the grill down the side and across the tailgate and or add a red stripe to the hubcap wheels or both. Narragansett Bay.

I own a 1973. Very similar to what you have. Thanks for posting!

Great job on the motor. I have a 72 f100 390 automatic. The original block was cracked so on my restoration I put a Jasper exchange in mine.

My friend had a 67 Ford truck he had a toy shotgun in the back window. That was in the mid 70’s , Try that today! Also check out Fitzee’s garage how he cuts and welds patch panels in.

Looking good man I gotta 77 just been binge watching all the f100 vids I can gives great ideas

The seat and the dash pad look amazing!! And I bet if you pulled that new carpet back out and looked at it away from the green interior, I bet it’s more gray than you think, but I could be wrong. Overall though, that interior is amazing!!

I have an 68 F 100 , I'm going to do the same to . Thanx for the swift kick in my butt , I needed that

Love how that turned out.

Great and informative video; nice job! I have a 1970 F250 with a FE390 can looking to rebuild and these video's will be very helpful. Thanks!

Very enjoyable video. Keep them coming.

Very nice, I like the interior color choice.

Nice job on the interior

You're doing a great job!!

Really nice looking Ford truck money well spent to greatly improved the looks

Im thinking about ordering that bench seat for my 57. Very nice.

Hey man your legitimately inspiring me to take on a project

Great videos. I think you may have struggled with the same thing I did while painting my house. Grey is a weird color, it has the ability to pick up the colors that are surrounding it. The paint is changing the color of the carpet according to your eyeballs. We chose a nice grey, but once on the walls, the sunlight would make it look purple. Had to change the paint color 3 times before we got it right.

Nice interior! Nice job

Great Job. Truck looks awesome.

I like the leather look, turning out to be a nice old truck

In the door panels where the holes are located. You can just put in some really nice button head stainless steel bolts. That would make it look really nice .

Just rocking it, man!

Impressive, great video.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Looks great!

Nice solid cab to work with, and nice job on the repairs. I like the greenish carpet, just one guy’s opinion.

Awesome job keep at it.I wished i could do tis with my 1965 ford f 100 352 cruise o matic. 2 barrel

The door panels are just like my F-100 was. Mine was a base model, didn't even have the horn ring like yours has. Just the center peice. The plates around the switches and all the dash trim is also extra.

Nice looking old truck.

Good job dude✌🏽

That TMI seat and dash pad is impressive... Door seam goes on the bottom middle...

Saw a guy make a bead without a bead-roller using a plywood buck and an air-hammer with a smooth, spherical tip...

Door sill plates is what they are called @4:37

Love the color

Nice. Good info. I just picked up a '71 in at least as good shape. I only hope I do as good a job as this.

Looking Good!

DUDE!!!!!!!!! Love what you did here. Man what an amazing job.

A Sledgehammer on the windshield makes a quick job of taking it out LOL you did a pretty damn fast though

Great videos. I'm gonna be doing work like this on my '72 F250 before long. You might want to check to see where water may be coming into the cab. Those floors usually rust because the truck sat outside for a long time and water leaked in when it rained. I found if the windshield isn't leaking, water is coming thru the bottom of the vent below the windshield into the cab. There's a big black bead of sealer under the dash along the top of the firewall and that's where it may be coming in. BTW that old green carpet most likely isn't original and neither is the cloth seat upholstery. That thing was probably upgraded in the 1990's. The Ford trucks of that era came with vinyl seats and black rubber floor mat. The "fat" seatbelts are the originals. Good looking truck. The painted interior looks great! If you don't want to use the vinyl door panels, that metal panel that's there will work. The base models used that metal panel. They were just painted different contrasting color. Maybe try to find a paint in that parchment color and paint the metal in that color. Looks great and it will help me on my project.

usually a couple of coats top coat clear will make the paint shine then people sand with wet and dry 2000 grit then buff to a high gloss, it may work for you

I like what you are doing with this p.u.

Hi, You really have done a nice job restoring your f100. I think dark brown or saddle tan carpet would of looked way better than grey. Doesn't go together. JMO ;) Thumbs up !!!!

Something to consider is additional self-adhesive sound deadening material inside the door panels, floor, against the firewall, under the roof.

looks good, If your in a hot state i'd be looking at a a/c conversion kit like vintage air or something and some accurate gauges like Dakota digital, BTW thanks for not Coyote or LS swapping a classic Ford.

That looks great. You might want to move the door seal seam to the bottom. It’ll leak if you don’t.

Dude, I’m really loving the videos. I stumbled on the one with the crown Vic susp swap and then subscribed and started at vid1. Your personality is starting to show more and that’s a good thing. I’m curious how you came by your knowledge and where these vids are being made. My dad has a 1973 Ford f100 custom that is in great shape, but this series has me wanting to find a basket case and bring it back to life.

sometimes the interior and it's maddening array of fasteners, hidden bolts, screws is more taxing than the engine work...as you are showing..good work..

was that the original PCV valve in what looked like a cap that would explain the two slots you filled with silicon in the rocker covers ...

Looked 100%better

I think that they make floor patch panels that you can get, cut the old out and weld the new in.

Love the interior brown leather

Está quedando divina cabeza

Just got back from asking about purchasing a truck similar to this

Very nice job on the interior. 460 planned for under the hood or a Wedge/4 Cammer?

truck looks good..all you need now are clutch and brake pedal pads

I don't know how you knock out these projects so quickly. I was far ahead of you on my build and now you're catching up fast! That interior looks fantastic, such a great feeling to get that done! It's too bad by the time these videos are posted you're often well past the point of getting any useful info from our comments. While you were patching up the floor I noticed that piece of metal underneath was part of your cab mount. I hope you checked the mount out before you finished up with that patch. It'd be a shame if the mount is bad to have to cut back into the floor! Have any plans for that gauge cluster bezel? I look forward to your videos every weekend. Keep up the good work!

I’ve still got the original mat in my 69. Funny how they used to be able to make quality, long lasting rubber parts like that then but can’t seem to figure it out today?

Interior look really good get head liner and door panels to match. Not real sure about weather strip I think it might leak with the seam in the top. Get a peace of rubber hose that fits inside the weather strip to splice the seam.

Very good videos, good work. For the carpet, can you tell me what material you went with. There is a drop down for material choice.

How’s the tmi seat holding up 4 years later?

Looks great! Probably should have hit the pedals and column with a little paint too. Or do you have other plans for them? That 3M stuff is the same stuff I use on engine gaskets. Works awesome. Engine fluids do not affect it. Typically the split line of the door seal goes to the bottom at center or a little forward. Assists in leaving a place for any water to escape/drain. Door sill plates will help hold the door gasket and carpet down in the jambs. Originals are almost always wasted. Also that odd seatbelt is probably out of a mid-later 70s Ford pu. The 67-72s never had a center belt like the 75-78s. I did the same thing, put that center belt into my 69. Needed it for the baby car seat back then! Lol Looks great, keep up the good work. Oh- stick with the 68-9 Grille. Much better looking IMO than the 70-72. They have started reproducing them, Dennis Carpenter, but sure ain't cheap!

How do those seats feel. They look like the back is almost straight.

Love your SHOP ! Not too big, not too small !!! Wondering if you'd give your shop dimensions ??? Thanks !

i have a 70 high boy it is very clean still has factory paint no rust dana 60/80 lockers with tool box on side extra parts 390 4 speed i got for 250 bucks traded for the engine new clutch not sure what i am going to do with it right now i am building a 68 chevy with a stroked 454 hot rod . have a few 4x4 sitting can get a lot of fords and chevys have a few all ready

Hey man love what you are doing. I have. 71 I'm working on. How do you get the knobs (light, wiper,flasher) off

Beautiful ... sherr fo yoj getvthe sedtd witch car? Thanks

Weather seal joint should be at the bottom so the kick plate covers it!

Where did you order the seat and dash pad those are slick

The links to the seat and dash pad don’t work what was the price you paid for both items

Looking good now change back window seal to keep water out... I think tmi makes matching door panels. A stock headliner with extra sound deadener could be cool...

Hey wear gloves and a respirator when you're messing with those rat nests !

That trucks going to be in the weather you should have put the scene for the weather strip by the bottom of the door in the middle of the door sill then buy some sill plates covers they also dress up the interior when you open the door some shiny down at the bottom

Time for a new smaller steering wheel. Then a nice little stereo system, and a headliner!!

I’d definitely leave the dash pad off if it were me, also repaint the Gun rack. You’re definitely Gifted with your Hands.
