Neat video. He needs to get rid of the helper springs in the rear though. You could stick your head between the tire and the fender.

 

Very nicely done.

Cruising some New England back roads.

 

Outstanding job. Checked out a few more of his videos and he's got a good story to tell. Classic east coast backroad vibes.

 

Nothing like an Old Truck and a Good Dog!

 

Cool video. Nice truck.

 

Cool video. My students and kids think I drive an old truck because it was made in 2000.

Also, Ford truck experts: Are those original gauges? Looks like gauges from something else and an engine turned filler panel. Looks cool.

 

I'd take that truck in a heartbeat!!
And remember, it is over 50 years old!!
You (me) bunch of old farts!!!!!!

 

I like it. Everything rings true, especially at the end...... "it's about freedom". A freedom we all know and younger generations never will.

 

Some days just require getting in the Hudson and going for a drive. I’m not sure what it does but it does do something to the soul. Maybe it’s the technology of the day when the car was new, when times were seemingly more simple that slows you down and makes you take it all in and enjoy and appreciate the machine.

 

Cool video and well done. He did a good job of capturing the simpler time and freedom that are part of driving this old junk. And, I can even see myself driving the truck as is...right up until I would end up lowering it a lot.

Thanks for sharing it Ryan.

I really liked the video, the truck is a '66 Ford Step side but the only big difference in it and the '65 is the grille.

Looks like it sit's at the factory ride height.

The instrument panel is indeed stock but I would think it's a reproduction (Dennis Carpenter) the panel is chrome plated plastic with a machine turned look and they were in the Custom Cab Ford trucks, it looks new, the one in my 1965 Ford truck has gotten very dull. HRP

 

I like Hooter.

 

It's a moving, emotional, religious experience......very hard to put into words. I try not to take it for granted, but driving them daily......sometimes I do. Thanks for reminding me

 

Cool video. I like old Ford trucks too.

 

I think we need to get Kyle connected to the H.A.M.B. He has some other pretty cool vehicles too. Check out this video:
Love his truck! I think maybe the reason the older cars are so much more interesting to drive is there is less to filter the driving experience. You don't have a computer constantly changing things with the engine, usually no stereo, better airflow through the cabin, better visibility, the gas pedal is actually connected to the engine. You are so sealed off from noise, interaction, etc in newer vehicles. I think when I look out the windshield of my old truck, I am seeing through the lens of that era which is pretty cool, when you think someone else was looking through this same lens in the 1960s and you and they experienced something similar 60 years apart.
