Ford Truck is Ford Tough in Mr. Majestyk 

Had a truck just like it and those "Twin I Beam" front axles were impossible to break. You might bend the frame but still couldn't break 'em. In those days "FORD TOUGH" meant something. Many of the 60's Ford pickups are still going strong, although prized by collectors now.

Bronson was also Ford Tough. He made some truly great movies.

This movie sold more Ford pickups than Lee Iacocca

I love these 70's car chases. Much more entertaining than Fast and Furious/anything recent I love how Bronson was somehow able to remain in the bed of the truck after all the air that truck got. LOL

I love doing this with my wife and our old Ford pickup. Although, I usually end up flying out of the bed... and she laughs.

That Ford truck should've won an Oscar! Amazingly tough. They don't make em like that anymore.

Those self repairing headlights and self color changing rear bumper while the truck is moving is what America needs to be great again!

Great scene, I had forgotten how good this chase was. Paul Baxley was the stunt co-ordinator, Paul had a very long career going back to doubling William Shatner in the original Star Trek series! 5 years after this movie Paul started working in Hazzard County and was the stunt co-ordinator on 120 episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard. RIP Paul (1923-2011).

When that car turned over I was like wait for it....... and boom. No car ever turned over in these movies without blowing up. lol

I remember watching this movie as a kid and seeing the commercial. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen...next to Evel Knievel, LOL! They also ran a commercial around the same time, showing a shot putter (probably not the right term) throwing the shot put into the bed of a Ford truck to show the double wall bed too.

The Ford commercial back then showed that the only modification was extra heavy duty shocks were installed! Other than that the truck was totally stock!

If you think you can beat a 2wd f150 with a twin I beam suspension and an FE block motor you may not have a clue!

I want a truck that has a magical color changing interior and a self repairing front end! That would be fantastic!

Those twin I-beam suspensions are tough and work very well off road. Nothing is as tough as Charles Bronson though.

I once took a turn real fast back in 1991 . I went over a steep curb and screwed up my suspension on my 1970 ford ranger xlt . The wheels were waving around like a bowleg festival . The i beams were turned to pretzels . A passing motorist pointed at my front wheels to show his concern . I gave the thumbs up !

My first vehicle was a 1967 F-100. 390ci,4 on the floor 2x4.. Best vehicle i owned.

Like watching the Dukes except the truck is yellow! Damn Twin I-Beam wont give up!

There’s no way a raptor would be able to take that much abuse, old fords are my fav, got a 96 bronco but would love a 78-79

Anyone who has ever rode in the back of a truck will say that would have hurt pretty badly

My best friend's daddy had a 1967 F-100. After he saw that movie, he thought HE was Charles Bronson!!!! I vividly remember him picking me up to go over to his sister's house one day. Next thing I know he cuts down a dirt road that I didn't know. I said I thought you were going to your sister's??? He said I am. WATCH THIS!! Next thing I know we're doing 80 down this dirt road. Dust going 30 feet in the air. Rocks popping off the bottom of the truck and off the drive shaft. I am hanging on for dear life--no seat belts. I can feel the truck fish tailing. He's just laughing like a hyena and keeps on going. We meet cars and they disappear in the cloud of dust. We pass by this house sitting on the side of the road and people are flying inside shutting doors and windows. We covered the house in dirt. I told him that he'd better get his ass to his sister's house and hide this damn truck because they have done called the law on our ass!!! He for once listened and hid the truck in their chicken house. Thirty minutes later the sheriff's deputies came riding by wanting to know if we saw a white Ford truck. I said yeah! It went that way like a bat out of hell putting dust 50 feet up in the air! They left and I looked at him and said told you so!!! He just laughed! His sister carried us home and later that night I brought him over to get the truck!

Truck takes a beatin and keeps on rollin! One of my favorite chase scene in this movie! Rock on Charles Bronson! Thank you my friend. :)

love it when chases are not shot in sequence....saw this in theaters, remember the commercial...but anyone who thinks the stunt driver didnt beef up that suspension is nuts.

Legend has it that late at night you can still see the ghost of this truck and Charles Bronson jumping ravines in the desert

Twin I-beam front suspension if I'm not mistaken.

Lol wut? Why has the F150 been the best selling truck in the US for over 40 years then? Explain that to me, BowTie boy!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful video with your friends Charles Bronson is very good in any movie he is great actor love him .

Can't beat twin I beam for this kind of high speed off road punishment. I've done high speed in dirt roads and A arm doesn't compare. LOVE THE VIDEO!!!!!

Gotta love 70's action movies. Just the best.

There's a bunch of rear drive Big cars taking a good beating as well. Mr.B would love to see this seen because its full of big cars and one outstanding old Ford pickup.

That’s how my dad drives just to go grab a coffee at Sheetz.

Best Ford Truck commercial ever!! This is so much better than climbing the mountain of concrete blocks.

My father owned a 76 ford, motor blew. He wrote a letter to ford motor company callin em out. They sent a new motor for free. He still had the truck when I was in high school. I once accidentally jumped a washed out bridge on the Navajo res. Oh shit I thought I was in for it. Truck had absolutely no damage. Lost my father a year ago, Thanks for the memories.

BUILT FORD TOUGH.

Only one truck used during filming, and still running to this day!

I noticed the same thing...they probably used the real sound of each truck they used and didn't put much thought into the problems with continuity. Still a badass sequence from the movie.

A Ford Truck and Charles Bronson. How much tougher can you get?

Love the truck. But I want that LTD convertible.

Man that Old Ford Truck was taking a really good beating. No wonder why it's Built Ford tough.

My buddy had a 72F250, mine a 75F150......both 2WD with 390s & stick shifts.........His 390 was mildly built, with nasty 32s' by 1250s on the back it would leave monster rooster-tails. The twin I-beam front had lots & lots of travel so you could do this sort of thing, keep the seatbelt tight so you wouldn't bounce your head off the headliner....LOTS of fun & they didn't break.

"Charles Bronson" and "subtle" are two concepts that shall never cross paths.

Who said 2wd cant go off roading lol

, Ford's twin I beam suspension gives a smooth ride even on some bumpy roads.

My dad & I built my first Ford Truck 68 3/4 ton - just like this one , 38 yrs ago . Its still my go to - get the job done truck 👍😁 🇺🇸

A Ford Truck Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris and Clint Eastwood

ok guys... My mom is the actress that starred in and drove the Ford Truck (Linda Cristal) and I just asked her. She did almost all of the stunts herself (though Charlie almost fell out a few times) and she drove ONE truck... Bottom line...FORD TOUGH!

I like how you can easily kick the tailgate down, but it latches again when you close it.

I agree, these trucks are the real deal. I bought a '67 F100 a few years ago after it was sitting on a ranch for literally years, original 45 year old engine with the few stock accessories, poured some gas in the carb, STARTED RIGHT UP.

Man did they beat the snot out of this truck! Definitely one of my favorite 70s movies... :)

It's an amazing truck!!! It even heals itself!! At 7:12, look at the headlight on the drivers side, (it's replaced itself), and the smashed in front grille looks like new!!! Absolutely amazing truck!! They don't make them like this anymore!! :)

I love how he just kicks the tailgate down!

Ford actually made a TV spot using this chase scene to show how durable this truck was. Does anyone have this video? I recall it being pretty awesome back in the day...

My grandpa on my Dad's side use to drive the same exact truck. He use to say "with the Ford truck, you can step on the gas and it would kick like a horse". He's gone but I have good memories of him always buying Ford trucks. I drive an 03' Ford Ranger and sometimes think about my Grandpa when he bought the original full-size Ranger pickup. I was raised up with Chevy trucks but I like Ford's too so I decided to own both brands.

It is in the description of the video! "They beat the crap out of this 1968 Ford truck in the 1974 movie Mr. Majestyk"

Holy shit that stunt guy just sends it every time haha

Cool! I have a picture of my son when he was 2 years old pretending to screw the bolt in for the harmonic balancer when it was on the engine stand.

My buddy bought a 72 F 100 2 wheel drive for 400$ when we were in Alberta in the 80s, same day my other buddy bought a 74 Ramcharger, drove it all the way back to Vancouver Island with no insurance. I totaled the Dodge two days later. The F100 lasted for years having the shit beaten out of it off road, lighter front end means no axles to break when it’s bouncing and jumping. He kicked the broken windshield out one day and drove around for a month before getting pulled over, 50$ fine back in those days, neither door would open so we would climb in and out through the windshield, we got some funny looks from people so that made for good laughs and stories later on. Miss that old thing

You can't kill a ford!

Ford trucks = LEGEND STATUS

Ford used scenes from the movie in a very short lived commercial and stated it was a totally unmodified 1968 pickup. It seems that the lawyers decided that the performance was an implied warranty. (there was the "don't try this at home" disclaimer on the bottom) but that was not enough I guess. If you watch the closing scene in the movie, you will see the truck slightly "crabbing" as they did snap a rear leaf spring jumping the stock truck 30 feet in the air at ~40 mph. Still "Built Ford tough"

Back around 1980 I was a rent-a-cop at a large construction site for an old-age home in Newtown, PA. They had a F-150 that was assigned to us to use for patrolling. On Saturday nights we'd get a load on, and take that sucker out for a drive across the dirt roads and fields at 3am. We used to punish the shit out of that thing, although we should have had helmets on sometimes! Used to call it "Mister Majestik time!". We never did kill that old truck (although the frame was cracked), but a certain cherry-picker on the grounds was not so fortunate.....

all fords are tough. proud ford man I am glad to be.

Great commercial. I haven't been able to find it.

I love Ford trucks. I have a 66 F250. There are several bloopers such as the reappearing headlight and the self repairing bumper and grill. Awesome scenes though.

I know it's not that good a movie--- but I love this movie.

Wow! What a great first date! Bronson is da man!

The best never rest!

Man, it's been a long time since I've seen this clip !

Excellent movie, Bronson at his “kick ass” best

and that's why you don't let your girl drive your ford😂😂

FORD! FORD! FORD!

That F100 is one of the world’s greatest uncredited cast members.

I watched that movie a few days ago and as I watched it, I remarked on how much of a beating that truck was taking. They must have destroyed 15 of them in that one scene alone! No truck could take that abuse and keep chugging along. Lol

DAMMIT LET HIM GET BACK TO HIS MELONS! Oh, and when I find a woman that can drive like Nancy I will ask her to marry me.

Ford tough,nothing else like it.

I agree. These model years of Ford trucks, in my opinion, were the toughest they ever built. I've always wanted one in 3/4 ton with a 4 speed(extra low gear).

@pdpicklesimer Is that information readily accessible somewhere? How did you hear about it?

Built Ford Tough!!!!

Life sure was cheap in the 70s, about 8 dead for some mellos

Rides surprisingly smooth from the inside view.

Currently prepping my 67-f100 short bed with the 352 engine for painting. An extremely solid truck

I LOVE TWIN I BEAM FRONT ENDS!!!

all that with a 2wd

Glad they took the scenic route.

I remember light bars on police cars as a kid and they use to scare the hell out of me!

Yes!!! Charles Bronson!!!!!!

yes back in the days when Ford make a good truck that the piece of junk they making now

Best truck advertisement ever on the big screen.

I am gonna get some of those black tape letters and write Majestyk Mellons on the side of my 75 F250 highboy XD

Screw the truck, how the hell did he stay in the bed the whole time? That wasn't a Subaru brat

They dont make them like they use to. The Raptor would of had a blown out transmission within a min of this video.

Bought a 72 short bed in 99. Paid 1100. Drove it for the next fifteen years as it rusted away. Every one made fun of me. "Sanford and son" and all the works. It is my tool. Not just a fashion piece. But a few years ago I wanted it to be all one color. After around six weeks of doing my best to straighten it up, and whatever I could.... but not much. Not the inside of the bed or inner fenders or anything. Just one color was a success. So, finally shot it. Ya shoot late if it's going to be outside. No bugs after two usually. Just as I laid out the clear..... it rained. Just a few minutes. Just long enough to ruin it all. To this day I feel bad about cursing at the old man upstairs. I thought I had done a lot of work. But that's when He he really showed me. As I begin to take it all back down, I chipped a piece of paint on the inner fender inside the engine bay. That chip was the one. That led to the Nother. That eventually took three years. I had completed everything except for the outside from fender to fender. I was exhausted because I had basically done a truck twice. The inside of the bed was something I was not prepared to do. The fenders and the rails were smashed flat. Took about six months for the inside of the bed. People quoted me $6000 for the inside to bed. One night I looked up some nitrous oxide kits after watching some videos. Usually I get a coupon for the product after I bought it. But, the next day I got a half off coupon. I had charged all of the supplies to my credit card and the points paid for the kit. I said that on the workbench and did not open it until the truck was complete. Prior to restoring it, I had not heard of street outlaws or of farm truck or of Frankenstein. It's not as bad as those trucks. But it's fine. The farmer made me shake on a promise to paint it the original color. Paint code: #7 Anti-Establish Mint I love the anti-war color for Vietnam. It is supposed to be the color of grass I've heard. Marshall 330 hp 302 cubic inch, which it came with a 302, and I figured better gas mileage. I put an automatic in it. Wish I wouldn't have. No fun. The idea was so I could put my arm around my wife. But, she hated it. Rode one time in it. Divorced. But it has a c6 in it now. Robbed 43 hp. Gained torque, but not worth loosing that clutch. 150 shot and a set of cutouts. The wheels were the most expensive and took another year to save up enough to feel comfortable charging the rest. It was worth it in the end. The spacing and stance look great. A little wait to get them. But who cares. My buddy kinda cheaped out on his Chevelle. He did an excellent job on a '69. Looks so beautiful. But the wheels look so damn wrong. It's sickening to me. I feel for him and I know how hard it is to get around to something like that again. The process is more than I would probably do again, but I can hardly remember any of it. It's just metal, and we can make a bunch of them, but it has also enabled me to meet a lot of friends. Classix are the best icebreaker. People don't even notice how they come right up and talk to you. He crosses so many social boundaries. Elderly people and young, dark and light skin, boys and girls.... And you can't just go to the store and buy one. What's it worth to me? 1100$ and the restore. That number is big. But the hours in it are too many and not worth my family. I've never put a price on it. When one of my good friends asked me how much I would take for it, I asked him how much he gave for the brand new side-by-side in his driveway. He said 17,000. I don't Believe my truck is worth that much. That number seems huge. But there's no way I'm trading it for a side-by-side I can go down to the store and pick up right now just with credit. Are used to be millions of them, the crusher got so many. I took it to one car show with the kids and looked around. I was surprised on the amount of attention it received. I was upset that no one appreciated the Mach one setting next to it. I love the Mach ones. They must be worth five times as much of the truck. I was surprised to see that much attention. But what I realized is, so many people have a story about their old Ford truck.

That was a decent Ford commercial.

"I did the research, they bought 16 trucks to film this movie, and sold 15 back to the dealer when it was done." Where did you find this bit of information?

TRY THAT WITH A CHEVY LOL

I dont think a 2011 Ford could take a beating like that 1968.

I can't imagine how Charlie survived the ride in the back of that demolition derby !! Reminds me of the movie Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger when the Porsche slid on its side and was brand new in the next scene !! Gotta love the power of Hollywood

Ford always did make a good truck!

Not even Baja 1,000 trucks do this shit lol

All this wild driving and flying through the air, wearing no seat belts.

Can anyone tell me what cars the blue convertible and the red car are please (make, model and year)?
