Real F 262 at Rare sighting of the Bumble"

Post by Bumbleb67 »

I have finally decided to join in after a long time of reading and looking. I have my my first Ford truck from my youth and its a 1967 F262, Bought it with a six but swapped out to a 390 thirty or so years ago. Had it longer than my wife but left it without love for a while.
We just installed the newly rebuilt .030 bored motor and some fresh looking rims with 35's. It's got a shorty '50's box and a swapped 70's year grill on it ( I know, I know all F-262's were long wheelbase trucks however this was custom ordered for the Pacific NW forestry or miltary with that odd looking bed, four speed and 4.56 gears too. Never seen one like it before or since..)
The Bumble has Dualmatic hibs on the front for miltary and a semi floating rear and a few oter items that make it difeerent.. I have owned it for over 35 years or more i figured...
Any way, Check out the little short 25 second clip of it after I first finished the new motor and helped my son move his damaged subaru. It's can be seen on youtube at Rare sighting of the Bumble.

Let me know what you think.... Maybe I'll do more clips if I get enough interest...

:nopix:
You can link utube video's here admin just donesn't allow email or phone numbers as it pulls the spam bots out.
67' has so...many kool things about it, (my late Uncle had one and I'll always remember the door handle lock function).

And here's the 67' dealer brochures that might prove useful as there's so...much info there documenting the differences and options, (wow a 4.56 ring and pinion to start makes yuours a "tree climber" by pulling standards)! :eek:
