I Bought a FLOODED F150! First Start and Revival! 

From 1973 to 1982 I worked at the Ford Motor factory in San Jose CA. In the "commercial" end of the plant we built the F1-2-3 pickup trucks 25 per hour 2 shifts 6 days. We shipped them everywhere. The F150 Explorers were gorgeous trucks & Jade green is the color here. We used to wonder where all of the trucks were going as we made them day after day after day. In the factory they were brand new pieces of art with their 6 cylinders, 302, 351, 360, 390 & 460 engines. 2 wheel drives, 4x4 in standard & automatic. It saddens me to see while this unit is a survivor that it ended up as it did. Speaking in behalf of the thousands of workers at the plant we took a lot of pride making those trucks. I really hope that you get this unit running & back to life again. Mook is really cool & wish her the best. PS my name is Gary. Cheers!

Mad RESPECT for Mook!!! Most young ladies these days would give you a totally different definition of what a dip stick is. It’s awesome to see a young lady take interest in automotive repair and restoration even to the point of climbing into the engine compartment to get her hands dirty! I am a huge fan of the 70’s era of Ford trucks! I’m a new subscriber! Thanks Y’all!!!

wish there were more Mooks in the world.

"It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me" (Take it easy) The Eagles.😃

*sputters through carb* "Bless you!" You've got one heck of a woman there.

With everything going on out there, we need more laughter and fun like this. Thanks

Gotta love old vehicles, so much room in the engine compartment! Get up in there! I am teaching all 3 of my daughters about cars and trucks, having them help me(work on them with me). I want them to be knowledgeable, enough that they will be able to do minor maintenance and know if a mechanic is taking advantage of them. I truly enjoy watching you all work on vehicles, especially Mook. I imagine my daughters ending up as silly as their old dad, and as smart and funny as Mook.

0:31 Seeing the Vice Grip Garage merch. A guy approves.

Mook's smile is infectious. Had me smiling the whole video just watching her getting into that engine bay and getting her hands dirty. So what's next? When you two have kids are you getting them flooded go-karts in order to start a family tradition?

What a gal! I love when young people get passionate about old stuff, what a beautiful truck, good luck!

You bought an aquarium shaped like a truck.

Love your enthusiasm, it's infectious. Loving seeing these old trucks coming back to life . Modern cars are just too reliant on electronics aren't they . I have an 06 VW Touareg V6 tdi . I love my car but it's so complex . . I'm in the uk that's why I haven't got a proper US truck . Though if you would like to post me something with a big Cummings under the hood .

This is the type of content that I like to see - wholesome, enthusiastic, funny, and a genuine interest in all things automotive. Keep it up!

A young woman who speaks cars! My friend married a "car" girl and wound up very happy as a result! This was a fun video. Keep it up young lady!

Great to see authenticity and American spirit still alive in Americans. Keep up the good work and attitude.

Not for nothing but Mook is one of the funniest chics I have ever seen.... SERIOUSLY !!! LOL !!

I love the GREEN ON GREEN Color combination with the stripe package....That was a sharp Truck when it was new.

I LIKE THE WAY THEY HAD FUN ....NO COMPLAINING JUST GETTING IT DONE.

i can be in the worst mood ever, come home and watch nook do her thing and bam instant smile. just radiates happyness. god bless you and your whole crew.

Mook, you need to upload more. You've got something special going on here with this channel. UPLOAD!! LET'S GO!!

That Eagles tune “ It’s a GIRL my lord in flat bed Ford!” Opening sequence with Mook!

Gotta love a girl that will get her hands dirty ! Mook RULES, you go girl !

I had a 73 it had a 302 2 barrel automatic . 2 toned green pea green on top forest green on the side . I liked that truck . This brought back memories . Thank you .

A few years ago, I bought a 73' F-100 that i fell in love with at first sight. She quickly turned into way more work than I could have anticipated...so to the back burner that project went. Y'all have given me the inspiration i need to get back on it. Thanks.

That's great to see women get into working on vehicles. Also have a passion for older classics like the 70s Fords. Always loved the old Fords.

Good job bringing a flooded motor back to life. Getting the truck up and moving down the street was a amazing event.

"I found a dime!" Whatever you bought the truck for, it now cost 10 cents less 😂

She is so cute!! How can you not love her spirit! Don’t ever grow up. It’s no fun. New subscriber.

I became a contractor in 86 when I got out of the service...I must have had 10 of these 78, 77's...All old trucks from that era have their little bugaboos...But, the F150 with 300 - 4.9 straight 6 was a beast motor...

The Mook outro is 100% approved! Get those brakes done and git on the road girl!

"It's what the people want, Kevin!" Lmao Also I really like the paint on that truck

Ah, those old days gathered around the engine fire...

I’m over 70yrs and have been driving Ford pickups all my life. How to hang in to the finish. Really enjoyed your tenacity when many would’ve caved after the waterfall.🇨🇦

Mook is a sweet kid. Cute as she can be and funny. Reminds me of my daughter a ton. My daughter doesn’t take too much anything seriously but at the end of the day she is a tremendous help.

I found myself falling in love with this truck, despite all it had been through it still wanted to live. I've wanted one of these trucks for a while now and now I want one even more. Please more content with this truck.

I had a 78 and when you pop the hood you always have to give her a little tap on the top to get her to pop. The door replacement panels are crazy expensive to buy new so I went to all the local junk yards and bought all the unbroken ones I could find. I had sets of black, tan, red, green and blue. I also had a kick ass head liner with 4.5" round speakers in the cab corners. Those trucks with the split rear window are a leaking rust nightmare. All the split window trucks will start rusting the cab below the window. I replaced the holes in the floor with speed limit signs and other old street and then laid new carpet over the top. If you go with the 302 make sure you get the right fly wheel because some of them are different on the 302 depending on year and the wrong one will cause horrific shaking and vibrations.

These old engines are rock solid. You can't kill them! Even being full of water, I wasn't concerned.

when the trucks a rocking and the pan's a sloshing, don't come knocking.

Mooks is the best american girlie. She loves the old american cars, nows how to repair them, and takes fun in repairing them herself. She also is a great personality in every way and looks awesome too. Such a girlie makes my Day a lot nicer. Greetings from Henry from Holland

50 degrees cold and raining..and windy....but Mook doesn't give a heck" THANK YOU FOR MOTIVATING ME!!! LOL its cold and wet here

I love this!!! the excitement the step by step going thru the truck got me excited to go out back and get my 78 k5 blazer running!!!

I got a 351M in my 1980 bronco, it pures very nice. Took all the smog items off and replaced the stock 2150 carb, and it runs at highway speed .

The timings off, we don't have a couple of cylinders, and she's been flooded and is pooping all over the floor..Mook 'so your telling me there's a chance she'll be fine.'

LoL just found these channels and watching these videos for the first time. Great job. Love them. BTW I see we found out why there was "10 inches of oil" on the dipstick haha

That was a fun repair. I love the 70's machines because we can actually work on them. It's even my favorite color. Sweet!!!

I do dig some Miss Mook. Kinda reminds me of the Mackenzie Phillips character from American Graffiti, but just a touch more surly 😁

A guy can see that you’re wearing a vice grip garage capalator. Well ill be dipped!!

You guys are so awesome! Keep making videos. So glad Mook has a channel, too!

That person lied about it in a flood, she is so cool it's hard to find a girl like Mook, so compassionate about auto's

Youthful optimism! Brings back the good ol' days when every rusty old hulk had potential. I hope you flushed the power steering, rear axle and trans/converter. That engine's a keeper, work on the rest of the driveline and you're all set. Grease everything up, oil the hinges, latches...Nice solid F-150 there! Nice work on the brakes, and try to find a junkyard-core carburetor for her? Drop the pan, clean the oil pickup screen. Best of luck with your truck, Mook!

I swear those trucks came off the assembly line with exhaust manifold leaks.

My first vehicle 21 years ago was a 1977 Ford Explorer custom. Thank you so much for taking me down memory lane!!!

3:13 That truck was holding it in all those years! The truck had to go and it definitely went! Lol

I'm not sure how this ended on my list of RU-vid recommendations, but I am glad that it did! Very cool. Well done, Junkyard Mook!

Hey Mook, thanks for saving and bringing that F150 back to life. We all owe you one.

He called it new 😆 how cute 😏 Could you imagine having a daughter like this 🤗 I would be so proud 🥳 a Car guys dream 😎

I've owned many 351m and 400 Fords. Put a small cam, good timing set, cheap fenderwell exit headers, intake and 4 barrel on it. They are strong runners. Although they have lower compression some cam and ignition timing can work wonders. The heads flow well and will bolt right on a Windsor series block, but you need a few mods for cooling.

"It's what the people want" You are a riot, Mook.

She's wearing a Vice Grip Garage hat! I love that channel! I'm now subscribed to junkyard Mook, notifications on!

I love these older trucks I don't care for the new ones. This is a Good-looking truck.

I love “everything is going good, there’s just a little fire”.

That was a lot of fun to watch! Owning one of these myself, it was kind of heart breaking seeing the condition it's in, but awesome to see it moving under it's own power again! Mine also has the 351m with a c6 automatic, all original, still going strong. Keep up the cool content!!

This video was made recently but somehow it's giving me nostalgia for a time I didn't even live. It makes me think of the girl I wanted to be when I was little. Very cool work on the truck!

Love the ladies with a sense of humor and not afraid to get there hands dirty.Nice work.Hate when they poop 💩 lol

Mook, you're a really cool person. I'm glad that your channel is doing so well. A half a million views on such a young channel is awesome. Keep up the good work and I will keep watching. Good job.

Awesome, really enjoyed watching other folks work on the truck, I’ve worked on all my vehicles; Enjoyed the Video greatly. Oh, and by the way, much respect for the young lady knowing and learning more about mechanics.

Sweet ride...and a great couple. Hope they both last a lifetime

I liked the "Tim the Toolman's" hi de ho neighbor ending with the eye's!

My friends, the first thing you should have done after you found that much water in the oil pan, was to find out where it came from. ….. from what I have seen, you should have filled the radiator with as much water as it would take.... then wait 15 min. and check it again. If it is lowered add more water, and wait 15 min. And then look to see if it comes out the oil pan. (you may have a crack inside the engine block and the water is coming from the radiator.)

I absolutely loved this video. Long live the Green Machine!!! Mook, keep us updated on the progress!

Words you never want to hear when speaking about stuff coming out of the exhaust pipe, “Do you think we have a gallon yet”

I’ve got a 79 f150 custom 4x4 and I had to do the same thing because of flooding. I drained 6 gallons of water out before any oil came out. I do have it running and drivable but there’s so much I still need to do to make it look and feel good to me. - a 19 year old South Carolinian!

She is such a goofball ❤️ But in an a extremely cute way. She is the reason I watch your videos. Keep being yourself.

This very old female car head found this thoroughly entertaining. And I watched from the comfort of my home.

I love it a woman who isn't afraid to wrench on a truck

thats what i did for 40 years im 62 now got to love the old trucks and cars lol thats how you learn

I love everything about this video.. thank you for some actual joy in this crap world. OMG Mook reminds me of my daughter... looks and acts like her

Your format is spectacular. You actually concentrate on wrenching, not trying to entertain your followers by making up juvenile words and phrases for everything, while talking with a fake southern accent. You can tell everything you are doing is genuine. Please don't change a thing. SUBSCRIBED!

The Seller lied, big surprise.

I had a 79 Bronco with a 351 modified. And it was definitely nothing to brag about, but after it spun a main bearing we went ahead and put in 400 rods and pistons a decent cam 4 barrel intake with a Holley 650 and dual exhaust with an x-pipe. It was very respectable performing engine after that.

"Opens hood with secret tap". Yeah, I think she knows what she's doing folks...

WOW! I'm loving this channel, just binge watched every video. This was fun, just what I needed after crawling around under my rusty ass ford in the rain for 2 days! Keep up the great work!!

"Non-believers die first" had me laughing for a good 5 minutes.

We need more funny people in this world like Mook! Funny people rule! 👊🏽

I love how Mook’s ad placement for the shirts was inventive with the tire swing Am I wrong but that was enough to make me laugh.

It's beautiful, I love the late 70's shape

Fords are supposed to use Motorcraft parts, not, watercraft parts.

Love how you guys have fun while working! Its very entertaining, keep finding them.

Need to check the trans and rear end fluid.

Mook's a barrel of laugh's. Looking forward to seeing what you all do with this truck.

24:17 (sees fire) *Everything's going pretty well*

“Beautiful Crazy” describes Mook pretty well.

She downright gorgeous piece of American right there Girl pretty too

We use diesel to clean out the engine. Drys the seals, but there's marvel mystery oil and Lucas oil stabilizer for that.

Love it when Mook and Digs knuckle things out

A excellent & enjoyable adventures of MOOK & Kevin !

That's probably the most fun 36 minutes I've spent on YT in a really long time. Thanks guys.

460 shares bell housing and motor mounts!!!!!

I bought a '78 like that with a 302 Auto in 1982. I loved it. I wish I still had it. Enjoy it.
