The older model Ford f150 always been my DREAM TRUCK. And you did a fantastic job at rebuilding this truck y'all should be proud of yourself's. Y'all made this awesome truck look beautiful.
Thanks Eric! These late eighties F150's are such great trucks, we were really lucky to have a great customer who wanted to invest in her truck and bring it back to this level.
8:07 ive been a gearhead my whole 39 years and a mechanic but seeing the woman doing the interrior is such an insane amount of talent! I've hand sewn a few things in my life and the amount of talent and patients it takes to do this tedious work is insane!
Hey Chad, thanks for your comment. We're trying to put out more restoration videos, but it's time consuming to create. Please like and share if you want to see more stuff like this - it's a small thing but really does help. Thanks!
@@ClassicCarStudio I like this type of build video also. It shows just how much work goes into a restoration. It is a lot of work and time to put the vid together. I appreciate you doing this.
I'd love it for my 1990 F series to be close to this. Restoring the engine. chassis, installing AC, renewing the interior and perhaps a front differential for off roading.
Thanks, we were excited to do this build because we love this body style, but not many people are restoring them yet. I think these trucks are set to start appreciating greatly. Hang on to yours!
@@ClassicCarStudioI need to get mine restored, From the little research I have done..... It's a rare truck,limited numbers?. The cab need a total rebuild its rusted petty bad. Regardless I am definitely keeping it. I think the truck original came from up north.
@@ClassicCarStudio -that would be great! I bought an 88 x-cab a few months ago, and plan to continue to fix it up as I use it. I've been happy to find as many parts as I have. I wanted/needed a truck & absolutely could not justify spending what a new one costs these days. I spent $4,400 for a good framed, working pickup with 4x4 & a manual transmission...& yeah it still needs work, but I absolutely do not regret my decision. I look forward to how this one could turn out & increased popularity of these trucks. Nice work on yours!
How much was this restore? I have an 87 long bed extended cab with a 5.0 . I like the fuel injected engine in it. The truck is in good condition. I am interested in having it restored.
Give us a ring and ask for Chris, he can walk you through it. Varies wildly depending on what you start with and what you want to do with your truck: (314) 568-4200
I have a triple lock 1996 Lexus Land Cruiser and a 1997 F250 4X4 (Raven Black). The Cruiser is a queen and she is royalty but I still stop and look at the F250 then smile. I built her from junk and I absolutely love that truck. She was worth every penny that I put into her and I wouldn't sell or trade her for any other vehicle in the entire world.
This is the stuff I'd love to start doing for my channel when I get out of college, got an 87 F150 that I'd love to tear down to the bare bottom and make it showroom quality like this! Y'all did a fantastic job and inspired another car RU-vidr to keep it up!
I have a 1990 f150 4x4 with the 5.0 engine. This year I had planned on starting work on my truck during the winter. Like the last five Winters have been very mild except this one. Like this one mine is black also. Some of my friends don't understand why I would keep this truck. My truck only has 134,000 mi on it and other than the typical rust is that I have a major oil leak and before using it you have to put oil into it. Other than that it runs perfectly fine. A lot of my friends own new trucks the ones that cost 70-80,000 and when they need to do something involving a pickup truck they come over and borrow mine. They don't want to have a pile of dirt in the back of their trucks or they're not long enough to carry something that they just bought. I even have people knocking on my door wanting to buy my truck. And after watching this video I love to see my truck look so shiny once again. No matter what I do with it it will still be a pickup truck and it will still get used as a pickup truck. I don't abuse my vehicles all of my vehicles run perfect with the exception being my truck with an oil leak. I honestly wasn't going to do much as far as interior. I have the original vinyl bench and no headliner vinyl floor and roll up windows. After seeing what you did inside I think I'm going to change a few things. I have always planned on putting sound deadening pad on the floor to take some of the noise out. I've been on the fence about putting a headliner in but if I do I will treat it the same way as the floor. My truck is so original it still has the factory radio. I really truly enjoyed this video. I made sure to save it so it could give me motivation to get mine done quicker. Almost definitely gave you a thumbs up I was already a subscriber so I couldn't check that button again. Again great job.
I have a 85 f150 that I’m trying to replace the engine. The one it currently has is bad. But I want a carburetor engine and remove all the fuel injector stuff any reconditions?
87 f250 with the 460 original owner here. Wish I had 20k to drop in it to make it look like this! But honestly, I don't, and i like her the way she is for now!
A lovely assortment of B R O W N for the interior. And I LOVE that Windsor ranch! "Why do you call it a ranch?" Because that's where the horses live, bud!
the first truck i ever rode in as a child with my dad was this very model of truck. i had such fond memories of it. its nice to see such a classic truck brought back to life
These trucks were a one year only thing for the 1987-1991 generation, so she's awesome for wanting to restore it and keep it around. 1987 was the last year for this style Flareside box and the only one with rounded wheel wells. The previous generation's wheel wells were boxy.
I just got a 1990 Ford F150 4.9 300 4x4 Custom to restore. Has 155,000 on her. The truck you guys did looks amazing. Not usually a fan of brown but that chocolate interior is tasteful. Excellent job everyone!
155K is not that much on a 4.9 300 I6. At worst it may need gaskets or valve seals. The issues on those years is electronics and automatic overdrive transmission. I knew someone that had a 91' Bronco with similar issues so they replaced the 5.0 302 Fuel Injection and Overdrive Transmission with a 351w 4 BBL Carburetor and a C6 Transmission. You can't do things like that with modern equipment.
@@Mike-nq3vd double for sure, and if it was mine, it would bring every penny I put into it, or else it would not leave my driveway. If ya want it, ya gotta pay for it.
I suppose you could look at it as a new vehicle. So if it was 30,000 it would be worth it if you could afford it. But probably $50,000. Just to be able to drive an old school truck like this .
Phenomenal Job🤘 I got 1990 F150 Short Bed, as soon as I win the lottery, you guys gonna work on my truck too, guaranteed future work for you guys. One of these days 💰🛻🤑
