1970’s Ford f-600 abandoned for 30 years gets revived after suffering multiple floods. Like and comment. More to come JESUS IS KING 👑 Ig: braden2201 Bradenbuildz Sc: braden2201
man i bet that starter was heavy , trying to hold it with one hand in place and use the other to try and thread in the bolt, you have my respect! still cant believe you got it to fire!
WOW! THAT is one of the best will it run videos Ive ever seen! Keep up the great work! Can't wait for the future videos! Subscribed :) The whole time, i was yelling at you about the oil, very happy to see the drain pan when you got it home ;) Is it making any oil pressure?
How many times did you start it before it idled? Love the dedication , trying to get stuff done while flooding was happening. You got some cojones kid!
If it's cylinders and rings weren't bad before they probably are after all that continued starting fluid rather than gasoline. Either isn't cylinder friendly
Making My Daughter watch this, you go Thru the Correct Inspection and Repair Process I would Teach anyone. Good Job, keep up the good work and please turn down the background music. I’m interested in what your saying not the Jam of the Day
You are literally everything I wish I could be. I have the knowhow but, don’t have the money. I’m fifteen and I hope one day I can do what you are doing.
That means a lot man. if you want something do everything you can to go and get it. do your best at everything you do and always finish. If you need any help with anything message me on Instagram braden2201
I can't figure out why that thing was not rusted solid on the inside. I tore down a Chevy 350 that was out in the weather for a couple years and had to beat the pistons out of it. I am amazed that thing turned over.
Absolutely awesome content brother!!! This channel will take off 100% just keep the content coming!! There's a massive fan base for this kind of stuff on RU-vid but you seem to add that extra something which is what people will gravitate to!! I found your channel today and I've been binge watching since. Lol. If you get that truck running and idling on its own (without the aid of starter spray) I'll eat my shorts!!
I'm amazed the truck isn't covered in rot considering how much time it spent under water. The wood in the box even looked fine too! I'd say turn it into a camper or sell the box and turn it into a cool rig, I'm sure someone would want an old truck box. Awesome vid tho!
I was anxiously awaiting the largest ether backfire in recorded history. Glad you missed that one. For future reference, a less volatile option is a soda bottle full of gasoline with a nail hole through the cap. A steady drip keeps most things running while you bumblefuck around.
That's either a 360 or 390. You can find specs on those engines. Parts are very easy to find also and cheap. Look up the numbers on the bottom of the block. Also sometimes you can find information stamped near the valve cover.
I was thinking of the Ford 351 Cleveland motor as opposed to those 351 Windsor models. Worked on both back in the day. The Cleveland would kick major ass.
It's neither a 360 or a 390. Those are Ford FE engines. That's a Ford FT engine. The FT is the same basic architecture as the FE but has a steel crank , large snout, low compression and some other significant differences. They are low revving, run all day for years industrial truck engines.
@@theoldmanoftech4039 No Cleveland was ever used in a truck from the factory. A 351 M and the 400 had similar heads and block architecture. But they are low compression emissions oriented engines. Cleveland were only produces for 4 years for good reason. They did produce good power depending upon what Cleveland model used but they all suffered from oiling problems that cause premature bearing failure . The Windsor series sbf engines are significantly better but suffer from poorly designed heads from a performance perspective. Too small ports and valves . Hard to beat the FE or 385 series Ford's
And you are very right about low compression oil pressure is very low in it but I daily drove it 60 miles plus and besides being powerless it got me every where when it wanted to behave lol
Definitely an old FE Ford engine. If the engine can survive that, I'm sure the trans probably did too. Not to mention the rear tires were turning so it's not locked up. As long as the clutch functions she should shift. The front wheel bearing could be fun, but probably will turn out just fine. I would keep it mechanical on the fuel pump, and freshen up the carb. Maybe put a Edelbrock intake and a 4 barrel carb on it just to squeak out a little more horse power. All things considered she sounded healthy. That old Ford just said fix me I still have a lot or work yet to do. And it would be a bad ass camper. Parts aren't that hard to come by once you have which FE she has in her. Summit Racing will have almost everything if not everything to completely overhaul and tune the engine.
I just came across your page and this video pretty awesome. It’s cool to see young men take interest in restoring a old truck. I enjoyed watching videos and these guys just earned a fan a subscriber
Awesome video. I watched the whole thing. You working in the rain all day and night without having to be made to do it really gave me a little hope for our future lol. And that tractor snatching that truck out had me tensing up like I was behind it pushing or something. You totally earned my sub. Keep up the great videos and I'll keep doing my part and one day we'll make you YT rich 👍
Great video man, I love your style and execution. I love wrenching on cars, and I’ve been out there in the rain and snow all alone so many times. It’s something we all share as mechanics, and there is a certain beauty to this hobby
Lol you obviously thought it would run to buy the parts I was going to bet I could start it from growing up doing this kind of stuff with alot worse looking to start with but it's awesome to see a young guy doing it now days those old fe motors will take some abuse and keep on going great video glad to see you cut the belts and address the wires just rebuild that carb throw a gas can under the hood to the fuel pump and fire it up your so close also get some water in the radiator and see if the water pump is working and put a new thermostat in it and you'll be doing burnouts in no time awesome video thanks for sharing
Ford 351 M400 maybe if it's not a y block but I don't think it's it looks like a m400 they good motors the top end rattles bit but I had a cop car from 74 l.t.d gave 150 bucks for it had that motor and it was fast as hell after frist gear had a 2 speed auto loved that car
Please tell me you’re doing a video of it running on its own and driving it. That would be cool. How long was it sitting there for? I’m shocked you freed that engine up
I know that it was at least 30 years but could have been a lot more and most likely was. It’s been flooded at least once every 2 years if not more and at one point the whole truck was underwater
Great video! I came across the short and had to see if that old beast fired up! I really liked how you gave a shout out and thanks to everybody that helped you along that way. Great content
Will I subscribe to your channel I hope you keep doing that kind of content I like to watch the will it runs and watch him go out in the woods and get them unstuck and get them going and drive them out under their own power and apparently there's a lot of other people
3:59 in the 70s it was probably a 460. Emissions standards killed the 429 so they tried to make up for it by boring it out. They also kept the pistons WAYYYYY below deck. They’re super low compression engines. They can be made to be good, but y’knownits a smogger
