I know in Toyota's they are to dip the chassis (drains). But, sadly I don't think ford knew/knows what rust inhibitors are. They are also points where its held by various equipment during assembly. Again not sure about ford

BINGO!!!

Like I said...That truck is a proud, and true testiment to Ford TOUGH-NESS......

Given the sheer amount of IDHGAF about it, and hell it's went through....It's a proven truck....

Oh
My
Goodness!

So THAT's the truck in that video! I never connected the dots before.

Holy moly moses, was the driver wearing his wetsuit when he did that video? The water coming through the space formerly known as the floorboard must have been incredible

That's what we ended up doing with my dad's old '76 F-250
...i was 11, living on the farm, and was driving that old truck through the fields, down through the trails, and, on the rare occasion, to the local general store we had outside of town.

We gave that truck pure hell, rolled it 3 different times, pulled hay wagons with it, pulled felled trees up the side of the mountain, etc.

That old truck still sits on that farm, and occasionally is used to pull trees, but that's about it.

After the abuse my brothers, dad, and I put it through, I'm surprised as hell that it still starts...It just goes to show that a 300 won't easily die.
