WILL IT FINALLY RUN AND DRIVE? 1979 Ford F100 Parked Since 1992! 

COULDNT AGREE MORE!!!!

True, I was just gathering evidence that supports that it was. The plates do have a 1992 registration sticker on them though, so that right there is pretty conclusive. The seller had no reason to lie to me, especially after I had already paid him for the truck :)

Awesome! thanks for checking out the channel!

Thank you! Yes its really cool and its fun to drive, a great motor for sure.

Emissions!

@@DentsideDepot yeah that motor is such a classic motor in the truck that I had I was pulling an 18 foot Boston whaler with 150 hp Yamaha and that truck and motor would pull it down the highway and hardly struggle at all and that was a heavy boat with a big ass motor. That’s why someday I’m gonna buy me another truck with that motor in it and have it rebuilt where it’ll last me until I die.

@@Mr-er6fg What about omissions when you buy an old truck it’s grandfathered in the 95 96 trucks had emission controls in them. I would love to see this engine in a modern vehicle I believe that engine would put out probably about 360 hp 400 pounds of torque easily. Maybe even a lot more because back in the day in my truck it was putting out I think 250 hp with 300 pounds of torque. That was back in 1995 it was such a great engine and it never had problems it would just run and run and run that’s all that engine ever did that’s probably the reason they stop making it they couldn’t sell parts for it.

@georgehuerta1990 the question was "Why did they quit making this engine". Answer- EMISSIONS!

What is your rear gear ratio? And fuel mileage? I'm putting together a 79 f250 has a 460 i have a choice to run 460 or a 300 with all the ad on's except the cam.

Thank you Sir

That would be awesome. I have a facebook page I just started, you are more than welcome to join and post it there, would love to see it! facebook.com/groups/1204027340243505

I always try to be safe when a vehicle is in the air, anything can happen when you start taking parts off, but yes you are correct.

So many people give me a hard time for taking multiple trucks apart to build one good one, but that is what it takes to build a good truck. Good luck with your build!

Hi Sir, that one is from Champion, they are the vender that has one in stock right now like that. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Unfortunately Amazon sent me a chevy spacer, so I just went with the metal fan. Thanks for checking out the video, I may change that back later down the road, wanted to drive it!

Thanks for checking out the channel! The bracket actually didn't work out for me only because I had to flip the carb around since it is a dual plane intake. If you use a single plane intake it will work, just type in throttle bracket on amazon and many options will come up, anyone will work. So yes, for the type C it should work and that seemed to be a really good setup. Remember to get a throttle cable too :)

Sounds good thank you

Absolutely!@@josephtizol9695

It is a manual 4 speed on the floor with overdrive, which makes it very unique

@@DentsideDepot the transmission is behind a 300 straight 6

Correct, T19 Borg Warner@@bobbyheffley4955

Awesome!

Oh man, haha sorry to hear that. I still can't believe I got this truck from the original owner.
