Let's Get this 1977 F600 Ready For The Farm Again | Has Lots Of Issues!! 

I talk to myself all the time, it's the only way I get an intelligent conversation.

I've got a 69 F600 with the 330FT in it. My dad bought the truck back in the early/mid 80's for use on our farm so its been in the family for about 40 years now. We used to load it with wheat until it ran off all four sides of the box and hit the road with it. Regularly went across the scales with 330 bu of wheat in her (20,000 lbs) and that little 330 just pulled like there was no tomorrow. I now use it as my firewood getting truck up in the mountains and she still runs just as sweet as ever.

I DO ; TALK TO MYSELF WHILE I'M WORKING, THINKING OUT LOUD , KEEPS MY THOUGHTS ON TRACK, HELPS ME STAY FOCUSED.

On those worn out throttle shafts I have had good luck using bullet shells for bushings. Sounds strange but it's an old timer trick that works, .22lr once you snip the end off is a great brass bushing. I did a video on it with a mower carb and have had success on trucks as well. Great channel you got and I look forward to future episodes!

That's how you learn to fix things is by keeping after it until you figure things out. I bet you fixed a lot of problems that were the reason why the truck was parked in the first place. Nice job.

I love this era of ford trucks, great to see this one is saved

I am not a car guy, but I swear after watching your videos, I could get any vehicle produced between 1955-1975 running. I'm not saying within a few days, but, BUT, there's a chance! 😂 Thanks again for taking us away from our daily/weekly issues and providing wholesome, entertaining and educational content.

I for one could listen to that "Goofy talk" all damn day long. 🕒 🌞 "Augh Ya" And we don't mind at all when you're singing 🎶🎤 neither, but a feller needs somethin to sing about instead of hitting his head 🤕 on a hood release, or getting zapped by a hot coil⚡ Chad at first had me subscribing based on accent alone. Imagine how tickled I was to learn what a true Tennessean treasure we have here. "Augh Ya" I'm only half way through the video and anxious to get back to the action so, "Blurp- Blurp" Lets do it Thanks as always Chad ! 👨‍🔧 🔧 🔨 Excellent content creator !

It's funny, why you remind me of the way my dad used to do things. He spent almost 30 years working in industry up here, Carter Wallace (they make everything from Arid Xtra Dry deodorant to Trojans) US Pipe, Philadelphia Insulated Wire, Georgia Pacific.. anyway he was a machinist / mechanic / boilermaker and all that and then some.. He pretty much fixed whatever they didn't make parts for anymore. If he needed a part sometimes he'd just have to MAKE it. Well, that's probably why I enjoy watching you so much, brings me back to when my dad and I would fix or build or whatever with machinery. Yessir, men who can do these things are getting harder and harder to find. My brother and I have skills that are in need right now, and the machinists who can operate a lathe and mill by hand are almost long gone. Thank you again, as I always do, for the content!

I love those big work trucks. They were built good back then.

being a "bulldog" in the mechanical trades is a gift only given to a few! You are one of the few! Keep it up and keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching them!

Just…. Thank you. You so much remind me of home.

Chad, your becoming my favorite RU-vid channel. When you want a expert opinion on something you have to talk to yourself.

Flippity flappity floppin😂 Idk why but that struck me and I'm crackin up😂😂😂

I have a 76 f600 and needs some love. Your video will help me. Thanks.

Great entertainment. You would make a great auto shop teacher . Thanks for sharing this adventure . Stay safe , and get a big wet blanket to keep near by so you can smother an engine fire .

You are a great mechanic. Keep up the hard work brother.

OK, you have GOT to try to get this guy to let you work on that 64 Impala setting in the weeds!! Great video, love those old Farm Trucks.

Talking to yourself is ok, the problem is when you disagree with yourself and then give yourself the cold shoulder. That is when people will look at you and say "he ain't right...bless his heart."

Short of removing the tank and steam cleaning it, there is no way to stop all that fine rust from clogging the pickup. I had the problem with another truck, and I temporarily solved the problem by draining the rust out, and attaching some magnets to the tank. The temporary fix worked so well, that I never did pull the tank.

Awesome job getting that truck running

Great work as usual buddy! I run a standalone fuel filter setup on my old chevy that uses that same filter. The part number is GF-157. I usually order mine online and I get them for about $10 to $15 shipped. Hope this helps someone out.

Man is sure love to have all the buildings that guy has . I’d have old farm trucks and tractors tucked in everywhere. I love them all to turn trucks. I’ve got a couple F 600s myself and I watch marketplace daily for the next possible purchase.

One cool work truck

This was great and I learned so much from this video. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs that you experienced on this project. She sounds great and should be a really good farm truck for quite a while.

See bud, my uncle motivated me to fix my own problems with my cars and he provided me with the tools and helped me figure out how to take things apart to learn how they went back together. My uncle is an awesome guy, and he's saved my butt more times than I can even remember. He's a great guy. I am an ASE certified mechanic, but I am a truck driver by profession.

I felt your pain when you dropped that part under the hood and into the grass beneath. Super hard to find and if you can even find it! Great video and I always learn something new.

Really enjoy watching your video's. You are very funny and you laugh at yourself, i laugh at myself to, and i also talk to myself, don't feel bad. seemed you have been blessed with alot of skills fixing things.May the Lord keep you and Bless you always brother.

There is not one ounce of quit in you.Thats a rare quality in people today..I also know if that truck breaks down you will be over at that farmers and fix it free of charge.

I have put the new and improved brake line in the place of rubber factory line and everything has worked good. I’m talking about even the front brake lines that move with the steering of the front wheels Side to side. saved ALOT OF mONEY and can’t believe how flexible this “new style bendable plyable brake line u don’t have to have the traditional bender to make those bends. I believe it’s copper line but it could b something else.

This is turning into one of my favorite channels. Keep up the great work!

Seen old car run again is another satisfying 💖

Nice job on the old ORD. I was blown away seeing some of the cars that man has just sitting out in the field.

I like old cars and tucks

drove right past next project hahaha there was also a chevy truck beside the other fix on road daily in last video, work is never done when you enjoy what you do

That was all very interesting, informative and fun to watch. Thanks for the ride.

Nice work that thing runs smooth👍

That was a long hard job but in the end you got going and I am glad you did the old truck looks to be in good shape over all hopefully they get more use out of it

Those f 600 and 750 trucks were good hard working trucks but they just bout all of them for some reason would run good till u got it under a load and it would act like the points were bad but it was always the dist.shaft lose u could grad it at top and move it back and forth I changed many one no matter low or high miles

Wow. Lots. Of. Work. Truck. Sounds. Good. Thanks

well done sorting out the ord!

Those ORDS sure do fight with you pops. Good to see it was just a carburetor. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching

I completely identify with your bulldog attitude, I'm also a bit afflicted with it. But now that you are no longer industrially attached, it is also about having fun, and I assume you only take on fun projects. And that is why I remain with this channel, as I watch you struggle with old equipment and the elements, waiting for that ultimate moment of victory and satisfaction.

I laugh like heck watching your videos. Thanks for doing what you do!

Another fantastic video!!! Being an old Ford man, I know what you went through. But, once you get it fixed you have a great truck.

I look forward to your new video's because I watched all the old ones. Keep it up

HI Chad, great work again, being patient helps as you found the problem with the carby through the process of elimination- well done. have fun. Hello again from New Zealand

They say that people that talk to themselves have a better thought process and have better chances of success

I think the engine is what they call a tall deck 360, 390, basically the same but longer stroke, Industrial commercial application. Sorta like Chevy 396 T talk deck. Awesome video as always. I think your a great mechanic. I love how you make it work.

Determined to get the job done. And entertaining while doing it. Good content yet again.

Factory multi craft maintenance mechanic…I wondered how you knew something about everything!! Now it makes sense. You had to! Great channel Chad! Love the weekly project.

Chad you are the greatest I look forward to seeing your videos every week

You have so much patience, you are a saint. When a project gives me a consistent hard time I get angry and have to walk away. Usually works when I go back. You seem to be endlessly patient!

i admire your patience with these old engines .

Those Holley carburetors are notorious for internal leaks. It may say "FOMOCO" on it, but it's a Holley. Oh, for you younger folks, FOMOCO is Ford Motor Company. Another fun walk through life with you Chad.

I'm no mechanic by any stretch, But I really enjoy watching you work on those vehicles your quite comical .

I appreciate your persistence. It seemed like you were banging your head into a brick wall, but you found the problem(s). Another great video. Thanks.

You found all the reasons it was parked! I do agree that engineers need to assemble and disassemble everything they design! Great video as always! Again there is nothing too hard for you! 💪👍🙏👊 PS would have been nice if the owner had told ya upfront that there was water in the tank! 😂

“Wooshers” I been sayin it wrong the whole time. Love your content man, keep up the great work

I enjoyed watching .cant wait for next project

Great work, perseverance paid off. I live in Ireland and ironically we don't have O'Reilly's here unfortunately.

I wouldn't think that amount of play in the butterfly shaft would make that much of a difference. Like you said, I've seen worse run okay. I learn something new every day! Thanks for the excellent videos!

Persistence makes a difference when you are troubleshooting vehicles. Good job!

I talk to myself whenever I work on anything. I also lose tools CONSTANTLY. I have no idea how they get away from me. It’s like they have a kind of their own. Every time I set them down, they run away. I find them in the strangest places. I catch them on the dashboard, the back bumper, the inner fender, the radiator support, even the back pocket of my pants!! Drives me crazy!

Great work Chad 👍. Correct procedure for ford hoods is push down on hood ,pull handle ,and give it a hammer fist between the o and r. Bumpside more towards the o dentside more towards the r.

loving the nice long videos please keep them coming . thank you

They have tea motorhead, bigger, oiling passages, and heavier crankshaft and smaller, combustion chamber heads. That is a learned from Fowler on here that’s got one of those 1 ton trucks like that.

That was a uphill battle from the start, but when it's done and running properly the sensation is as good as it gets. You solved the problem for two trucks, whats better than that. Looking forward to the next one Stu in Canada.........................

American by birth Southern by the grace of God brother! You do an excellent job and set an excellent example for your younger viewers. If I had your patience I would be dangerous!!

There is a bushing replacement kit for the Holly and Quadrajet carbs, that is available on ebay. The kit includes the long shaft reamer and the bushings. Easy peasy.

shoot been like that for years it's what my dad thoughte and i thought my son too. it's the only way to fix and learn thx for the entertainment p.s. i just retired from that world and i do miss it

Well done I would not of thought that tiny bit of play would caused that

That was a great educational video. And thank you for sharing your shop project. Believe you me as you get older everything slows down. I'm 63 and can't do half what I used to.🤣👍

I have an F600, and I had exactly the same problem with the fabric covered brake lines. Like you, I bought a 25 foot role of line and got to practice my double flaring skills. My hydrovac booster was also shot, I couldn't find anywhere to have it rebuilt, but because I am not putting the truck on the road, I just bypassed the hydrovac, and am just using the primary master cylinder for brakes for now. I am thinking of putting a vacuum booster on behind the cab mounted master cylinder. That will work great for my needs. A lot of the parts are interchangeable between the FT and the FE engines. The FT engine, has a forged crank, and for racing, we used to have the front of the FT crank turned down to match the damper of the FE engine.

Fantastic brother. Keep them coming. You got a good thing going. 👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Very cool ole truck! You did a great job! You are very talented, and definitely shine the Light of Christ.

top notch as usually my good sir! Amazing how sensitive the carb was to the play in throttle shaft your found.

That is a commercial Ford motor it is a 352 block. It's at a family motor . 330 361 391 . I know this isn't old video . I enjoyed watching you keep up the good work . And thanks for sharing ! 😊

That motor is an FT series, the Industrial version of the FE, It will be a 330, 361 or 391. Not much will interchange with the FE motors. I "think" all of the 391s had 4 barrel carbs, so that one is a 330 or 361, the 330 is by far he most common. They're torquey, slow revving engines, 3500 rpm is about the end of the world. Haha, you've got the same work platform that I bought specifically to work on my 73 F-600 dump truck. It's a life saver on those old medium duty trucks. Cheers buddy! Edit: Well, that's what I get for talking before I watch the whole video, lol. You figured the engine out. Thanks for the great videos.

Well done, feller. That was a trial. 🇬🇧👍

Your as country as can be. But your a excellent mechanic. And you know how to troubleshoot anything. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your skills! 👍

That’s a great video,got er running! Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️

Fascinating channel! I am always glued to your videos. You are just a good old boy with tons of skill and know how. Lord knows, it ain’t easy sometimes!

Your skills will be needed when the world goes full on Mad Max.

Yes sir awesome truck sir 👏

My dad owns a 1972 Ford F-500 i dont really know the differance,but its also fitted with a 330 V8 it has a autolite carb instead of a holley

Thanks for the entertainment and edjumacation! Real life adventure!

Now you got a guy curious why someone would purposely half fill a fuel tank with water haha nice old truck though. It sure is nice seeing the old iron being used

Maybe you can answer this or not or when you can. Are you going to share the building of your shop with us ? Thank you for another great video. 👍

That was pretty badass. Well done

Great video and as always great troubleshooting the issues through! Always looking forward to what's next. Blessings and respect to the grind and hustle!

Great videos. God bless you chad. Keep the videos a coming

Find myself waiting for these videos Chad good content brother and another good video! Dang I wish I could get ya to come and help me get my 69 Camaro back together.....three back fusion's have slowed me way down I've still got the heart and mind for it though that's what counts! Have a good One and thanks for the video

Who would have thought that a wee bit of play in the throttle valve assembly would have caused that much trouble. Like you, I have seen worse run better. Another great episode...!! Cheers...!! Ken

This N That for the win! She fought you the whole way, but you got er done. Nice work This N That!

Not only do I talk to myself while doing mechanic work, I answer myself too!LOL

ORD stands for “ORD-ER” new parts😉! Great video, love watching YOU work👍👍👍👍

Mr Morris my memory is not perfect so I carry a pen and paper and make a list of things I need for my odd jobs and it saves me money on running around. I’m only trying to help my favorite mechanic on RU-vid . God bless you Mr Morris for your hard work that you do to help others with their problems. In Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s name I pray amen 🙏 thank you Jesus Christ.

[ thank, you for youre video. looks, great. i, bought a 1973, Ford F-700 Dump truck. 361 engine. 5-spd. manuel trans. 2-spd. rear axle. air brakes]

You sure are tenacious at trying to fix with what you got. Didn't you get a rig from the same farm earlier? I was surprised you didn't bring a piece of cardboard to put under the truck. I talk to myself too, mostly when I'm working on my rig. Keep up the good videos.
