I fully restored a '69 F100 when I was 13...well that's when I started. Finished when I was 16 and drove it to high school. Damn solid truck, 360 with a 3 on the tree. Used it to work at the body shop just down from my mom and dads. Saved up and bought myself a new '92 Z28 my senior year. Still own that car today....I call VICTORY!

Disk brake front end wasn't standard until 73. 68-72 it was optional on the front. Might help your search! Are you going to pull a Marti report on it? I bet with the Light blue Corinthian vinyl interior its going to be a rare bird. 69s are the start of the solid crew numbers on Matri reports.

1967 was the first year for the truck disc brakes,make sure you get the correct proportioning valve and there’s 2 brackets between the brake booster and firewall you will need if that truck doesn’t have them. I put 67 3/4-1 ton power disc brakes on my 66 3/4 ton camper special years ago.

Love that truck. Let me tell you something about them 4 speed tranny on them bump side,dent side and bull dog fords. First is used only when you're pulling a big load. Unloaded start in 2nd. It's basically a 3 speed with a extra low 1st. I grew up around them, my dad was a Ford nut, and owned.....dozens of them. My first truck was a 72 3/4 camper special, 390 automatic.

Well done, been enjoying this series and the collab with Dylan. My D200 Camper Special never had power steering - makes it a bit of a handful. Yours probably has the same tranny, NP435 with granny low -- it was used in a lot of Dodge and Ford truck applications. Mine came factory with 4.10 Dana 60 rear, not as bad as 4.56 but I still swapped it to 3.54 to make it a bit more drivable.

Awesome video! Love that truck almost as much as my 68 F250😊. Question though, what did you set the timing at and what setting did you put the vacuum can to? Lastly, went on heatshields website and will be buying some for my truck. Nice job. You owe Dylan and Marty some 12 packs.

That driver door latch may just need some spray lube. I had a passenger side door on a 1972 F250 that the grease dried up an wouldn't latch. I used the truck just didn't use the passenger side for years and it did that very thing yours did. Not sure what you have planned but my '72 has 3.54 gears and gets a little up in rpm at 70mph but good gear ratio for hauling.

I'd love to see y'all get a Y block running someday. Maybe you already have, I haven't been subscribed very long, but I've always wanted to see someone do something different with the Y block...like a centrifugal supercharger or a turbo with the appropriate transmission and rear end with a QFT blow through carb...or even a Holley EFI system and engine controller. It wouldn't even have to be anything crazy, but a boosted 292 (or even the Mercury 312) Y block would be cool to see. "Depending on model year and application, the 312 was available with a single two- or four-barrel Holley carburetor, two four-barrel carburetors and with or without a McCulloch (Paxton) supercharger (1957 only)."

Makes me miss my old '66 F100 Custom. Was standard cab, long bed, 352FE and 2WD. All of that was fine, but never did care much for the FM2 automatic. Do know those front drum brakes were next to useless; combining those with the slushbox was seriously sketchy at times. Final nail in its proverbial coffin was that, for whatever reason, that generation of the F100 was stupidly difficult to get parts for. Was still a cool old truck though!
