A man visited a large collection of Ford trucks in Tennessee and was blown away at what he found.

The collection spanned rows and rows of trucks and revealed some true hidden gems.

From an Explorer to a Ranger the collection boasts some impressive members.

And, the opportunities for restoration are endless.

Ford was founded in 1903, and the very first Model T was produced out of the factory in 1908 in Michigan.

Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength.

They have produced all manner of cars and trucks with all kinds of flashy features.

And thanks to their variety of trucks, some have found their way into a rather large collection.

The whole collection was a shock to the new owner

The owner jumped on a flight to Tennessee thinking he’d be making a cool video, but later on next day purchased the collection and was then the proud of owner some pretty interesting pieces of metal.

It has some very notable front runners.

The 1979 Ranger Lariat F-150 is a rare original super cab which are said to be ‘very, very hard to find.’

It’s also clean inside and still works too, as demonstrated by the wind-screen wipers coming to life.

The Ford Galaxie however, takes the crown.

The Youtuber’s firm favourite proves to be a 1963 Ford Galaxie truck.

The Galaxie was first produced in 1959 and stayed on the line until 1974.

But, the condition leaves a lot to be desired.

The rusted exterior and wrecked inside that includes piles of leaves and even ancient TVs, allude to the masses of graft that needs to be put in to get it back to look its best.

But by transferring a chassi, it could be a healthy kick start to a passion project.

Another impressive member is the ‘safari truck’

It is described as a ‘deer hunting rig’

The metal contraption attached to the front of the truck would house two chairs, ready for a pair of keen hunters to track down the animals.

The back of the truck even has room for rifles too.

Another impressive member of the clan was a Ford F1500, four wheel drive.

The collection consists of both two and four wheel drive vehicles.

Despite some crew cabs being hammered, quite a few are in quite good nick considering the conditions provided by Tennessee.

Now the question looms – which truck will be the first to receive a brand new lease of life at the hands of the brand new owner?
