Those old Fords are so high in quality, easy to work on, same parts in most cases for years, long lasting, and just plain good. They can't be beat. Looks like you have a winner there. I prefer the six cylinder, had two of them and loved them both. Put way over 100k on each of them without a major repair on either.
I just bought a 72 Ranger XLT the other day and it’s a long wheel base which I’m not the biggest fan of but it’s starting to grow on me…😂 It’s a nice truck, I think it’s all original. It’s got 2 small holes in the passenger floor pan and the front side of the bed is rusted out but other than that it’s just got a little surface rust. My buddy that went with me, told me about the tool box built into the bed like that. He said he had one like that. I’ve never seen one until just now. That’s pretty cool… 😎
Good job getting these classics running. 👍 I was skeptical the one with the sludge build up would run, but it pleasantly surprised me. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
I love the 1972 Red Custom because it has Ford' venerable inline 6 cylinder motor. With today's gas prices it's nice to drive around a truck without a huge V8. I have to admit the air conditioning in the Green one is really kewl though.
We had a 71 Ford F100 Short Wide Bed. 3 ON the Tree 302 V8 Under Dash AC I drove to High School in the late 70's I called it Robin's egg blue ran great.
Great job! I watch you and all my ball games at the same time! Lol, Love your videos. You and vise grip my favorites . Love the old fords and chevy trucks. 👷🏼♂️👍🏼
AWESOME THAT GREEN ONE OR ANY OTHER ONES THAY IS TOTALLY MY DREAM TRUCK SINCE I WAS 4 YESRS OLD WHEN MY DUDE FIRST STATTED TAKING ME TO CAR SHOWS MY FAVORITE BODY STYLE AS WLL YHANK U THANK U
Richard another great start on the first truck. Just a exhaust manifold leak and water pump.The green Ford without oil. Surprised only lifters knocking. No too shabby. The last one the 6 cylinder looks tougher. Thanks for sharing 💯👊
The first 2 trucks remind me of mine, which is a 68. Both probably have 360's in them, and your right, a simple carb rebuild, maybe flush the oil once or twice, especially in the second truck, some brake work and you got some ole patina style running trucks! they're so simple to wrench on too honestly, I changed my trucks motor in a few hours by myself with a forklift lol. I think you definitely helped their chances at being bought and not scrapped, since the first two run anyway. These trucks are getting pretty popular too, I've had many offers on mine, but not sure if I'd sell, unless the right offer came around!
Another Great Video,I like all three of the Ford Pickups,My Dad owed one just like the first one;Great for hauling, and road trips.Throw some golf clubs in, and I’ll see you on the 9th,Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️
I say three in one or two to make running trucks on fix uppers too and would take much for sure 👍! But great finds for sure and hopefully hear want do with all 3 trucks !
I subscribed to your channel for several reasons. One, I like what you do and your no nonsense way of getting all of this old iron running. Second, the one thing that caught my attention is that you don't use a bunch of nonsense words, many that aren't really even words, like several other RU-vidrs do and there's no clowning around. You seem to have areal desire to rescue as many as you can just to save them from the scrappers and get them back on the road.
Yes I agree with your assessment. Of course this is the difference between people and how they present things, and of course the differences in humor and theatrics. Of course this what the mouse is for on your computer much like the remote on your TV set. You can always change channels. There are some of these You Tube presentations that I turn off after the first thirty seconds with some of these channels, but that is my preference. I enjoy Richard and Christines presentations.
These big block Fords are nice. The white truck just needs some TLC, a wash job, tires, brakes, etc. Would make a good driver. I like the 69's grille better than 72, but that's just me. Ford made good stuff in the 60's. Glad to see them saved from crusher.
Hi I just happened to come across your channel so I figured I'd go ahead and watch. Somebody has to keep saving all the old iron I know if I was in the position with a place to keep them and money to buy them I would definitely do the same thing as a matter of fact I did it's not real old it's a 2000 but it was parked for eight years at least and I've got her up and running I will go ahead and post some videos when I'm able to I have been at least videotaping some of the stuff I do this with my camera it's a pain in the butt to upload videos when you're doing it on DSL. LMAO I always wanted a four-wheel drive my whole life so when I came across one I got it I have to say it's in pretty good condition there's only two small holes in the cab corners so that will be fairly easy to fix they make the panels for them or I'll make them myself. Anyways thank you for posting the videos I love watching the stuff when I'm at home. I'm going to watch a few of your videos and decide whether to subscribe but you always get a thumbs-up for me my friend. Many blessings to you and your family. You know vice grip garage is in your area now so watch out all the old ones will be gone if you're not careful, LOL
That first one you worked on, looks like it's got a FE engine in it, either a 360 or 390 , either way good engines. Only thing is the intakes on the FE engines are part of the heads, at the top and damn those intakes are heavy, all cast iron and weigh a ton! Still pretty good engines! I've had plenty of Ford pickemups too, everything from a 6 banger to a big block 460 FE, that was in a camper special. Hmmm, the second one, looks like same engine, when you first showed them, I thought it had a smallblock in it, but bigblock, better!
Did you end up verifying the years? Two of those look like there 1968 or 1969. I think 1968 introduced the side marker reflectors on the hood. The 1969 grill had a horizontal middle bar with an indention that was originally painted red.
There are reasons for that. When a carb is primed with gas, the engine needs more air. Sometimes the choke is broken. Then there are the times when Mystery oil resiidue is in the cylinders. Again, the engine needs a lot of air to fire amongst the oil
I understand. It is tough to pay 4K for a truck that needs a complete brake overhaul, tires, and a water pump. It would be nice once those things are done.
Well I'll tell you what you got first one started up like a dream that's a damn good engine but that second one you need to do a very good degunking.. it may have good oil pressure but I can tell you about half of your lifters on even pumping up right or you need to do some adjusting I couldn't really tell you I'm not there but and I hate Fords anyway but I love guys that can get them running. I know at least two of those trucks shouldn't have been junked and if they would have kept changing the oil on the second one it wouldn't be in the shape it's in.
I'll take the red one off your hands. I had one like that never shoulda sold it. I also had a red 69 short bed. sold em both when I was building my house.
You want to know what all carburetor’s have ? Bowels and when you 1st fill the bowel and hit the gas lever it will squirt inside the carb indicating if your motor does start then you can keep the engine running…..,,
When ever U folks go out and want to revive these old Ferd trucks and cars and you see one of them Motorcraft carbs on the motor get another carb the Edlebrocks work nice no matter kind of vehicle and theEdelbrocks are not all outta whack when ya go to fire up an engine unlike Holley carbs seem to be deliberately set not to start the vehicle. The Motorcraft carbs corrode inside because of what they are made out of. I don't ever remember getting a Ford to fire off and run with one them carbs if the vehicle was parked a long long time ago that was probably the reasons. I brought a few back to like with just the carb. Most times it also turns the distributors and spark stuff is gone as well. A young guy that works for me spent a better part of a week having bought 2 new batteries trying to get a 71 F150 running. I advanced him 2 weeks pay to buy a new carb by the time he brought it here it needed a distributor. He has it parked under one of them kit garage tent like things. He really shined up nice wants to get it restored now. Seems the cab mounts and floors are gone which is typical..
I just pull a battery cable to see if they charging. If it runs, it’s charging. If it goes dead, it’s not. I never owned a multimeter until I started fooling with this newer crap with all the sensors.
I'll take the white one for sure It would be a nice truck for me cause I'm disabled And it could haul my scooter + my wheelchair ans my other stuff I need How much for all three do they want? Did all 3 of the have a 302 in them?
It takes a lot of networking. There are the usual places, such as Craigslist, but others too. Go to a small town coffee shop on a Saturday morning and talk to the older people there. Someone will know someone with an old car they need help with.
The owner is selling all three as a package deal for $10k. I live the green one too. Although the floor is bad, it appears to have been sitting far less time than the other two.
@@samparks1141 Yea I guarantee he's not gonna be getting 10k for those 3 trucks. My truck I though about selling, and highest offers I got for a running driving, road legal 68 f100 was 2k
How could the clutch be stuck?.. Start in neutral… It’s obvious the clutch works because you are starting it in gear with the clutch pushed in?? I have had stuck clutches and I start in neutral. I free it up by putting in gear and pushing in the clutch and bump starter to break loose.
