Will An ABANDONED Truck Start After 14 Years? 

The OS expert Daymon facts! Although I must say, they fall into category B way more often then A

@@off-roadprojectsandfun6868 I dunno man, every single one my family has had over 30 years has fallen in category A. We've tried to kill an old 99 Mountaineer with the 5.0 and it laughed at us.

There are many components to doing a pro job. One plan I found that successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the no.1 course that I have ever heard of. Check out this super resource.

Amen to that brother.

@@callmegeorge I've only had B. i did have one I couldn't figure out until after I sold it. The Phoenix had a bad fuel pump of all things. The other tank worked fine, I just didn't know how to prime the engine as I never dealt with an older truck with a fuel problem. The Phoenix got it's name because it was burnt half to hell BTW. Everything behind the cab and part of the cab too was singed and melted.

Thats exactly what I was going to say!

We need to get this to top comments so he sees it

@@af5579 I should also add the reason why the center bolt sheared off in the first place is because the rear end shifted most likely due to one of the following reasons: 1/ one of the rear end U-bolts is broken , that repair costs about 7 or $8.00 2/ The truck was over-loaded at one point and one of the main leaf springs(the shortest one) that has the hole in it to accompany the center bolt is cracked off as well in the center and part of that leaf is missing, consequently to repair the center bolt, replacing new U-bolts is most always a consideration since the U-bolts have to be removed / gas-axed anyway to replace the center bolt. At any rate, replacing a main leaf is approx $30-$40.00 cheaper if you can get it in a scrap yard. All can be fixed for under $50.00 if you do the work yourself.

Check out Vise Grip garage at the 5:00 minute mark ,ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QT29IW-pwv0.html this scary when you think about it how easy it is to lose a rear end due t bad U-bolts , he caught this in time when adding a lift kit. This is also an awesome channel for gear heads, this guy is funny.

I was thinking the same thing I fixed many of them over the years ..bolt breaks off pulling something heavy ...well hop or rusted off .

Squirrel probably doesn't even remember this storage spot

@@cliffordholland2233 B

a billion out of 2

cool thing is you can keep a spare ignition kit and fuel pump in a box and fix stuff on the side of the road

ill probably have to end up fixing way more than that on a old truck. Still worth it in my eyes.

@@SamuraiJake22 well yeah.. im talking about 15k after you fixed everything the fuel pump dies. and you pull out your spare and slap it on

hahaha yep never ending process really

brick yeah it is satisfying

Thanks Obama...

Eh, gas is gas, as long as it's flammable it's good!

ok boomer

New plugs and points and a full maintenance check, plug wires, check timing just basics first

@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge Gas isn't all the same. It's literally a completely different blend these days in most places in the US. Ethanol doesn't age well.

John Sexton I know. Found a 79 LTD. Been in barn 30 years. Put battery and fresh gas in fired right up

I have a 1988 ford thunderbird that sat since 2001 and had to put a new gas tank, fuel pump, gas, and a new battery and she started up and i drove her.

see but then they lost it with the newer years them bitches easy af to steal

Now days ford has a bad reputation but the old ones are nice as hell and damn good reliable

I got a 90 ford. Crashed her in a ditch completely fine. Trans is a lil iffy but it don't give a fuck. I love older trucks and its a inline 6 so its indestructible and sounds so sweet

We were prepared for a massive ordeal and packed all the tools for nothing 😂😂

@@JunkyardDigs farmer dude was on top of vehicle storage. Probably dropped stabilizer in to every thing and cranked them once a month for several years after parking. It's a great problem to have. If everyone took this much care your job would be much easier and your profits higher. Keep up the good work!

They probably wouldnt work very well over there since they are much bigger than the cars you have over there.

Best of luck man, those old trucks are pretty bulletproof, so I'm sure you can do it.

Halo Grunt15 my truck is older then I am 😂

My uncles truck is as old as he is its a 1968 ford f250 camper special

@@jacobbrooks4259 Same here Feb 1973 and I'm November 2000

New ones are a different story

New fords are: Fix or repair daily Fail on race day and Fat old rusty dog Old Ford's are: Good trucks

Your are correct

Wait what 😂😂

haha yeah

Where? 😂😂

@@patrikvilk1224 near his hand it crawls inside

@@Jack-hg1hq aah, I see now😂

Yeah, that is absolutely the problem with fuel injection. I don't miss flooded carbs and cold starts, but you can't abandon those old rails.

Some of them are good trucks

I'm not a ford guy either. But this truck is awesome. Also nothing like throwing gears in an old truck.

i’m the same way. i know that all three brands have their ups and downs

their trucks are there strong suit, except 2000-2008. Some of their cars are good too but trucks are where its at.

When ever fords lack in quality in trucks, it is money issues. They always make a comeback.

Most gas had ethanol 14 years ago, that was 2005 (I wasn't done watching the video, and literally the first thing out of his mouth when I unpaused it was 2005). He probably had to find gas without ethanol though, my first car (72 El Camino) wouldn't run worth a crap on premium with ethanol, I had to feather the throttle to keep it running. Without ethanol it would start quicker than any fuel injected car I've had since, pump the gas once and turn the key and she'd roar to life.

Dustin Tunis dude that old no ethanol gas runs so much better than ethanol. I remember down in VA one time we put no ethanol fuel in my moms Subaru crosstreck, it literally got 10 more miles a gallon and started on the first compression stroke. That old no ethanol gas is more efficient, burns cleaner, and is so much better for the engine cause ethanol is like liquid San paper for engines.

@@dustintunis9347 The ether can was from 2005 which was probably from a failed attempt to get it started. The truck could have been sitting for a while before then.

LOL

Not even after sitting for 14 months

Thank you lol

Actually two words, well maintained! Doesn't matter what brand you choose, take care of it and it will last.

At PLIGHT! You Got That Right! Maintance and take care of it! These Dumb Little *uckers on here do not know Anything except their little trinkets!!

@@tonyfriend7413 People put too much damn stock in name brand. People brag about how poorly maintained cars of a certain brand last longer than others. Why would you neglect something you spent money on? Never made sense to me. How hard is it to do an oil change?

I expected huge wasp nests

I expected an actual alive one.

It's easy to put duals on a 3/4 ton though and it's not that uncommon for people to do it especially on older trucks.

This was filmed in July 😂😂 it's horrible outside right now

@@JunkyardDigs I'm in Northern Indiana, (i can see Michigan out my window) and we've had a couple great days here.

Alot of farmers do when they run their own large capacity Tanks on the property.

And also whoever tried to get it running before (the can of starting fluid) might have put in a few gallons of newer gas.

That's the thing about bias ply tires add air a drive for a bit and that flat spot kinda goes away I've had lots of those I usually deal with Chevy but I like some Ford's to I had a 77 f150 I was fixing up but didn't get a chance to finish it wish I still had it and a few of the other vehicles I've had I prity much grew up in junkyards made lots of things run that everyone else gave up on my first car came out of a junkyard 81 firebird last year of the second gens

@@jasonchapman3015 tl:dr

There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that he's trying to drive it like a 4 speed car when what he has is a 4 speed truck transmission where 1st is a UN-synchronized, creeper gear. If he'd leave 1st alone and start out on 2nd, he'd have no problem.

@@bmacd2112 yep, 1st gear I these old things are essentially useless anyways

Yep. I clocked that as soon as it started moving. I wonder what the cause is?

yeah props the rear end geometry being shot af

He said it had been rolled. That'll do it...

Saw that. Could be a bad frame or the rear end is tweaked. Looks like it's kicked out on the driver's side. Need to measure wheel base on each side. If it's off, it's the rear end needing to be re-hung. Not difficult. If it's a bad frame... well...That too can be fixed but, a little more involved. Whatever it is, it's a cool a$$ truck!

somehow

It can't run! There's no "Check Engine " light to illuminate adn a Ford can't run without a illuminated"check engine" light!

@@rebelgarage8664 Chrysler imperial would smash any shitty ford and that's a fact!

We literally have no idea what this truck is because the chassis is different from the body on top of everything else 😂😂

Junkyard Digs 😆 keep up the good vids!

Junkyard Digs Frankentruck Lol 😂

@@JunkyardDigs The trim and outline of where the f badge was on the cowl suggest 61-64. 65 and 66 door trim isn't completely straight on the bottom. That grill is a 64. Like you say though there is no telling since the body panels from 61-66 all interchange. Nice for those of us that have one. Mine is a 65 f100 long bed.

@@itsalwaysfriday9766 It's definitely a 1963 or 64 cab but the chassis might be a different year(probably 61-66).

WhYQon wie gehts?
