!?SCRAPPED?! 1990 Ford F150 XLT Lariat! 

Save the f150 jay

It blows my mind what people will scrap and only get 3 bills for it. I would have given that guy a grand. Such a nice truck.

someone PLEASE! save this clean truck! I'm not much a ford guy but I can respect a really clean truck!

This is clearly a car that can be sold. It's too nice.

Please save this! Not worth scrapping such a pretty truck...

I think that truck is more than worth saving, to the right person. That's obviously an E4OD four speed automatic behind that 5.0L (302) V8. Just the relatively excellent overall condition of the body and frame alone, would make it worth saving.

I wouldnt mind that old F150. Yes its old but hey it runs. It will need some TLC but thats no biggy. Its a nice truck. Please save it. Dont scrap it at all. Id buy it from you if i could. I need a vehicle badly. How you been Jay?

Damn I remember when those were new....how sad lol. The carpet just needs a good vacuuming and put some rubber floor mats down...good as new

Damn! An over 25 year old Ford F-150 In that good of shape would go for a pretty penny here in Michigan. Probably worth at least 4 grand in its current condition.

Old trucks like that always sell. Easy to work on in parts are easily available. I think it will sell very quickly.

What the hell is wrong with people from where your from??? There seems to be quite a few good, nice looking vehicles that have been scrapped at your yard Jay... i just dont understand what goes through peoples minds

If someone brought that truck up north to NY or PA they could get a lot of money for it. You hardly ever see any rust free f150's anymore. Thanks for the great video Jay!

Dam that truck is clean

Nice truck! Easy restoration for sure, great vid jay!

That thing is almost 30 years old and has less rust than my family's 01 1500. I love Wisconsin.

It's totally worth saving... super solid! The 302 was the easiest on gas... better than the 300 six or the bigger V-8's. That era of Ford truck had a recall for paint peeling. It was most likely repainted at a Ford dealer years ago, under the recall. Swap out the trans with a good used one... no biggie... and a new exhaust system, with a good tune up, would make a awesome truck.

There's no doubt that F150 is worth saving. An XLT Lariat with factory bucket seats and centre console has got to be a pretty rare spec of truck. A good tune-up, a transmission overhaul (at the outside, I'm sure there are plenty of on-line resources for fixing overdrive issues on that, it is a Ford so there's no shortage of people around who've had and sorted that issue) and an exhaust system sort out by a good exhaust shop won't be too expensive and then you're going to have a truck with a lot of life in it and which can be brought back to apple pie order without much difficulty as the red trim seems to be pretty common on those so seat cloth or maybe even seats are going to be easy to find in a junk yard for not much money, and those brick-nose Ford trucks are becoming increasingly sought-after in good shape all the time. Just take a look at John Fox over at The Fox Shop on RU-vid to see how popular and sought-after rust-free vehicles can be and what can be made out of them. The paint on this truck isn't factory, the over-spray shows that, but the two-tone paint is a factory spec so it may just have had paint to deal with the effects of 20 years of sun cooking the original paint which doesn't seem to be all that resilient anyway...

Oh hell yeah, that is one clean machine alright. No way should that be scrapped under any circumstances, it's worth the work it needs. I love the red interior too, wish they still made those

That is one clean F150 I would save this one

Probably more reliable than a new one.

I just got a 1990 4.9 300 Xlt Lariat with 94k miles. Yep...94k. no rust. Interior is in awesome shape. Had it for about 4 months. Did an oil change and a new thermostat. It's white...more of a bone white and no rust. That's it....awesome truck

I had a neighbor who had a 88 model that was white and blue and he bought it new and just now stopped dalying her do to crazy rust!!!! I live in Louisiana and it never left so you were right about the rust!

As someone who lives in the rust belt I love seeing clean trucks like that.

Something that clean would never get scraped up here in the rust belt. That's a beautiful old truck.. Crazy

Thats a sweet looking truck. Defiantly worth saving. The paint could have been a dealer option or something. I know thats a Ford two tone.

Jay , had a neighbor buy a New Bronco back in the day when I was a kid...his Bronco had a near duplicate two-tone paint scheme with lots of over-spray in the door jams....including the tailgate area,etc...and that sticker-striping was meant to cover-up the not exactly straight paint-lines . He was a perfectionist...ended-up having the bodyshop that worked on his Ferrari/Lorinser SEC...give the New Bronco a just paint-job with zero defects!

Brings back memories. I had a 89 XLT Lariat and loved it.

I'd keep it and fix it up man. Way too clean

That’s my favorite generation Ford Trucks. Love the old ones.

Someone should buy that. New exhaust, window motor, tune up, and a driver side seat cover. And keep it out of overdrive (push in the button on the end of the shifter). Good 2 go. BTW, those are factory colors and a factory 2 tone setup. May have been resprayed, but back to original. Dad had one of those. I drove it from FL to CA and back on a road trip. Great trucks.

Vent windows, wish cars and trucks still had them.

Yes these F-150 was available in two tone red/white and was a 640.00 option I have the original brochure

I'm a big Ford Truck guy. I used to have a 94 Ranger, probably the best vehicle I've ever owned. I would love to replace my 98 Pontiac Sunfire with a late 80s - mid 90s F150. I'm amazed at how many of these old Fords are still on the road here in the Pottstown area!

Jay, I drove a '90s standard cab Lariat (302/auto/limited slip/rear abs/dual tanks) for a former employer and I loved that truck!!!

My dad had the same truck just different color and it’s my dream truck too

I just bought a 1990 f150 xlt lariat similar to this one. 4.9 straight six automatic transmission 139 miles. The guy I bought it from his grandfather owned from new and put 135 thousand miles on it then it went to him and he had the transmission rebuilt and put less than 5k on it in the few years he owned it. Its in pretty good shape has power windows and locks its a single cab 2wd two tone

Save it! I wish I could afford to save all these cars people are scrapping for stupid reasons. I've driven worse cars than this on the road, would have loved to see something like this in those days.

I had one close to that. White with red interior, in-line 302 6 cyl. The “big 6”. 5 speed, she was badass. Keep this one!

the paint has been re-sprayed, but that was still one of the multple two tone paint schemes avail then from the factory

I still can’t believe someone could consider that “junk.” That 1990 F150 runs better than my 2008 Escape!

That F150 looks way to clean to crush

She sure is clean for a 90. Love this era of F150. I’d say this one is worth saving.

I bet you could sell that "as is" for $1,500 all day long.

She's a keeper! Someone will buy that.

I love the early Ford two-tone colors like purple teal and what not.

I live in Belgium but i would if i could fly straight to america to save that f150 from scrapping.

Wow that's a niiiiiice truck! I'd pull that 302 for a rebuilt replacement, and pull the transmission if necessary and send it out for a rebuild. That truck is in good enough shape it'd be worth it.

Score, glad to hear you say it was going to be put up for sale. Such a nice looking pickup. I'm happy it didn't go in the hopper

*Truck is in Damn good shape for as old as it is.does sound like it's got a collapsed lifter or two in it. either that or a bent valve but the fact it runs and yall got it for free is awesome* some ford lover's wet dream.

This is the type of pickup you buy! Buy the parts, do the work yourself. You will have a truck that will run for many years. It will pay you back in the money you save on license tabs, insurance & no payments. I live in Minnesota. I bought a 95 F-150 short box 4x4 rust free in Montana. I brought it home I spent $ 3,000 in parts, tires. This truck pulls my car trailer, boat ,fish house on and off the lake. I have drove it 4 years now only have to spend money on doing regular maintenance I do myself. Get truck! I only own Fords for a reason.

my dad had a 89 ford f150 xlt lariet about 8 years a go that truck was a long box extend. cab four wheel drive unfortunaly my uncle ended up with it and sold it after he sold it caught on fire still ran great even on seven cylinders and when me and my dad were in a Wal-Mart parking lot the oil pump shit the bed man the memories I have of that old truck it was Brown and it was to tone with cream inlays

+Jay Smart, the skip/hard start issue could be the vacuum line from the brake servo/booster being unhooked. Just noticed that, it seems like the master is fairly new too. Well worth saving.

man I am glad that truck is not going to get crushed man I would die to have to have that truck 86 was the last year for glass head lights and 87 was the first year for plastic head lights man what a great classic pick up truck

Here in the UK we love American Cars n Trucks.

man that old girl is really is in really clean we don't have trucks that rust free in upstate New York should save rare truck. you don't see these trucks every day where I am from

Glad to hear, this to good of a classic truck that im pretty sure someone would pay a great sum, very popular and easier to fix then the new ones.

I'm interested ill drive back to Michigan in that bad boy

PLEASE SAVE IT JAY😢☺

Gunshots in the background? Love it. Had a 90 F-150, sold it because of wife issues...love her but what a sad story. But in 2019 I bought an old rusty (but solid mechanically) 1996 F-350...the Fungus 350. 7.3L D. Jokes on her. But I wish i had my old 1/2 ton. 300 straight 6, 5 speed baby!

High mileage or not it's still an extremely clean truck. New trans, a new layer of clear coat, a good cleaning, and a flowmaster exhaust and I think it would be a sweet truck

Nice old ford I would really like it if it was 4x4 with the 300 inline manual trans

That's a little Gem... A diamond in the rough. My buddy Dirk Halbach brought one here not too long ago a 1992 150 Lariat Extended cab same colors too it was pretty truck always like that dual louver like rear windows Ford really should bring that back. The people that sold Dirks truck to the scrap yard said the motor was bad so he got the truck with a salvage title but it's not for resale he just wanted it because it was so clean. I found out the battery went dead because someone sucked all the acid out of it then I looked at the dip stick there no was oil in the motor what so ever and hole punched in the oil filter which the Junk yard said they didn't do that either. It was sold by some woman going thru a bad divorce. Turns out the battery cable to the starter and 2 primary wires were also cut by THE SHOP SHE TOOK IT TOO nobody else could have severed the wires without having keys to it or being in on it. Dirk bought it for 600 bucks it was Garage kept 77K miles and when we put oil back in it and I repaired the battery cables and primary wires it kicked right off idled like a dream.. I never saw one of these trucks with the 302's do that and not have streams of oil leaks every place.... The truck was so clean inside out it was incredible to see a vintage 1992 truck so clean and new looking...

She's a Great Looking Truck! Tune up, radio, tranny work, seat covers, possibly some new tires, she'll be ready to rock n roll! WOW, she does look good!

I'm not a ford fan but what a nice survivor Jay you should buy it add it to the collection

That truck will get at least 6 grand as it sits up here in the rust belt. We don't send them to the scrap yard until they're rusted in half.

One cool things about this truck. It had tilt steering and all you had to do is push the blinker switch towards the dash.

Love the old ford trucks great trucks also the old Chevy square body’s are awesome to :)

Pretty good for almost 28 years old

My dad has one of these, but it has the 4.9 I6, a short cab with the bench, and a long-bed. But it is a XLT Lariat with almost all of the same options, minus the power windows and locks.

Definitely a truck worth saving! Please don't part it out. Hopefully somebody will see this and come up with the green to buy and restore it.

Nice old bricknose even nicer paint job and a super reliable motor they sure don’t make em like they used to

Its a shame man that truck don't belong there, hopefully someone saved it! My favorite era of Ford trucks.... I would if I could, grew up riding in one

Trucks like that go for $2500 everyday around here, that's crazy somebody would scrap it

Love the vid if i could i would save that thing

Nice older truck

I had that same truck in Houston, zero rust.Also have a 1994 , no rust

Looks like it was built in Norfolk Virginia My dad work at the Norfolk plant till the F1 50s used to take me there when I was a kid and watch the trucks being built it was so cool

More beautfiul than F-150s today, that's for sure.

For anyone curious, Jay stated in an update video that the engine blew up in this truck. If you listen closely in this video, you can hear it knocking.

Holy shit I had the identical truck just regular cab but same two tone paint, red bucket interior and the good old 302. Please save that truck there awesome trucks.

Easy project truck. Paint job, new carpet and seats. Then engine tune up. Only expensive part would be a transmission swap if it is slipping reasonably bad.

Looks like the red was factory, and someone did a good job of masking it off and respraying it - minus the jambs.

Jay I read your comment saying "Sadly this one did not find a new home" So Here's what I'm thinking and I do hope you'll see this comment for any truck like that one you aren't able to get sold just take it to an auction it'll be sure to sell there perhaps not for quite as much a you expect but atleast it'll find a new home.

I guess people have never heard the word "rebuild" . That's a nice old truck with plenty of life still left. Drop in a new engine and tranny and Boom!.......another 150,000 miles. Especially with that solid body.

Check the throttle valve cable grommets. If plastic, they crack and break off the throttle body and cause the transmission to slip. Ford had an updated part made out of metal to prevent this from happening. Should be a TSB for it

Please save this it’s a beauty. Can totally see you driving it jay!

She deserves to be rescued. Straight Body, super little bit of Rust. Motor and Tranny needs to be rebuilt. Looking at the blow by on the pipes. She needs her second chance of life folks.

Man what a nice old Ford. You don’t find anything in Missouri that old with a solid frame and body.

jay you should keep it for yourself. that truck is in good shape for its age and it runs still!

Garage kept, Much respect!

these old truck were truly Built Ford Tough.

That truck is in amazing shape for the age. Definitely worth fixing it.

I didn't think ford still installed the high beam switch on the floor by these years. My dad's old 78 had that. Way too clean to crush or part out. The cab bottoms behind the doors are the first thing to rust out on these!

I wish I had the money to buy and ship that to Ontario....Its a $3000 to $5000 truck as it sits here being that clean

Great old trucks. Ford saddled them with a 302, should've been a 351w or straight 6, but most likely emissions had a lot to do with it. A 351w made them a great work truck. The I beams gave it a really tight trim radius and made it easy for the truck to shift weight to the rear wheels.

This is the body style I like that Ford had including the trucks from 1988_1999

I had a regular cab 4x4. I loved that truck.

I love the ford f150s and f250 from 1978-1997 my dad had a dark blue 1989 ford f250 4x4 and he event had a snow plow on it for a wile unfortunately someone sold it from underneath him

Oh man I love those trucks, my dad used to have an '88 5 speed in blue with the straight 6.

I like how people offer $$ but no one shows up in person
