Will it run with minimal tools and time? 1975 Ford F250 rotting amongst the trees. 

Sounds like that six has plenty of life left in it

Looks like the same carb. & engine I have in my 1972 F-250, which is a 300. Bulletproof engine.

hats off to the infamous 300 inline. the truck i spent 35 years with. get her on her feet. well make me happy,,

"I knew it was going to run". Was there ever a moment's doubt?

Representing Maui here. Love absolutely the 6cyl.

New cap and wires it will run perfect. Can't kill a 300 Ford 6 cylinder motor Great job! 👍👍

Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎☕️☕️🍩👍 Morning to all !

Greetings from Scotland……now let’s watch the video 👍👍

Wow! That engine sounds really good! Awesome work, Richard! You definitely have a magic touch with the "will it runs"! 👍👍👍 Those Fords are some of my favorite years, the 73-79 and the bullnose of the 80s. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to see what happens with the Chevy!

Berrymans does something Seafoam doesn't do, it WORKS Lol 🤣

Thumbs up for the old 300 i6👍👍 .. If it would have been a few years older, I was thinking a 360 in it, but when you said 1975, I thought, I bet it is a 6cyl 😊

My brother bought a new F250 3/4 ton with a 300 six 4 speed in 1975. It would haul a skid of cement blocks and the tail hardly dropped at all haha. We only used 1st gear if there was a load in the bed because 1st was geared so low. Generally we used 2nd for moving out. No road feel with the steering wheel at all, but it was a fun truck to drive. Nice to see one running again.

The 300 cid is a great motor. And the frame looked solid on that too. Needs a little love and should be on the road.

GREAT GOINGGGGG!!! YOUR CAR MAN,,.. AND THE TRUCK TOO!! WE ARE SO PROUD YA GOT IT GOING ,, WITH ALL THOSE CRAPPY PARTS IT HAS IT DOESNT WANT TO DIE!!! THIS IS A NICE YEAR, SO YOUR NOT BUYING IT??? WELL SHOW THAT OWNER IT RUNS AND SELL IT DONT LET IT SIT ANOTHER HUNDERD YEARS.. HI CHRISTINE !! FROM THE FAMILY WE NEED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR 50S CARS ITS BEEN A WHILE ,, THANKS TO YA ALL ,,PEACE!!!!

watching from southern MD

Brilliant to see, you are always so enthusiastic great channel.

Great job. Enjoy your video's. Missed Christina this time

Good morning from Colorado

Thats a cool truck! Def worth saving!

I wasn't expecting the 6cyl either

I love junk you work on it reminds me of my childhood learning from my dad how to fix cars and survive jimmy Carter only Brandon could equal his failure

Those 300's really are amazing.Still sounds healthy.

Glad you got it running.I know you always give these your best effort.Good video.

As soon as u raised the hood I'm like,yeah it's gonna run

You are doing a great job . We missed Christina today. Keep up the good work. Thanks

That’s all I use is Berryman down the carb and down the power brake booster hose

I knew a guy who had a 75 Ford Crew cab and it had the 300 what an Amazing Truck.

That engine ran surprisingly well with a distributor cap almost burned to the ground! That truck is surely a runner for someone to fix!

Good.job. cool truck Ford 250 congratulations you show 😄👍👍👏

Those Ford six cylinders are like 225s. In my experience, they are virtually indestructible. That is probably why they used them in trucks like this.

I can't believe how straight it is

That truly is awesome, brother. You really do an incredible job bringing these old rides back to life. Keep up the great content and work, and know we appreciate both of your work and knowledge. Have a glorious day, friends.

Awesome job getting that old Ford to run again Richard.

you don't see many flatbeds surviving these days. I hope someone gives this one a good home now. long live the unloved vehicles. :) this poor thing has been hooked up to run multiple times it seems. one canister in the back, another besides the engine... short of drilling a hole in the hood to add a funnel for fuel. XD

I'm the same age as the truck and I feel about how it looks lol aged weathered but still chugging along 😂

that ol ford still got life in her 4 sure richard thanks for the share as always stay safe till the next hello christina stop slackin get back to work 😂😂😁📸📸📸📸😎✌✌

Thank u Richard for your time u did great with the camera angels I but yoy were missing yoyr partner in crime I appreciate u sharing your time with us Aka the viewers thankbu thankbu

Another runner! Well done Richard. Always fun watching you do these rescues. Keep on rockin!

Really enjoyed that Richard good and entertaining thank you

Oh yeah I loved it looks cool

Another great job Richard:-) You are the Master off these old engines 🙂

One of the things I really like about those Ford trucks is the work/tool bench on either side of the motor.

I hope the owner gave you a slice of the additional sale price after you got it to run, if only to pay for the fluids you used

Very nice video 👍 ❤ gooooooood luck forever 🌷 🌷 🌷

Way to go Richard got it going nice truck great job

300 six cylinder are great engines. I hope you bought it

Pretty neat. We had a 1978 F150. Great old truck. It too had the inline 6-cylinder and 4-speed manual. It ended up in California, from here in Virginia. Sure wish it had been brought home. Good memories.

Yeah, my man.

Great job

Hi yall from west Alabama

Judging from the Red Bull cans in the interior of the truck, I would say that it has not been sitting more the ten years, at the most. I would agree with your assessment that it has been off the road for a long time. It was probably retired as a full time work truck a long time ago, but they just kept it to use around the property. That explains the lack of a plate.

As long as the cab mounts, tranny and rear end are in good shape, this truck should provide plenty of life. Just needs a bit of tlc. Great video. Great approach. Great attitude. Sometimes I feel after watching your vids I have been treated to the subtlest of sermons. You would have made a great teacher or pastor.take care.

Those old 300 6 cylinder are good motors. I had a '77 with that motor and hauled livestock with it. Didn't set any new land speed records but it got the job done! Thanks for the dandy videos!

Great job Richard. 👍

A 300 6 is a tuff little ford engine

Hi mate great video shame you didn't buy that truck 🚚 as well. Cheers 🍻

should have powered up the horns lol

G'evening Richard 🤠 . Sometimes it's relaxing to have a simple points ignition system to diagnose and fix 🙃 .

Love this channel

sounds good,

Great video Richard and Kristina❤

Congrats you did it again.

You're having way too much fun.

Great video!

awesome as allways.take care of that 300 itll take care of you,435 new prosess 3 speed with the creeper gear. wonder if it has the rockwell rear. must have a good low set of gears out back. nothing like getting 300,ooo miles out of a 300. cant wait till the next. take care.

Great work and video, Richard!! Cheers!!😁👍🔧🛠️

Don't underestimate the 300 6 cylinder. The displacement is 4.9 liters. They have a longer stroke, so there is plenty of low-end torque for pulling. I own a 78 F100 with a 300 6cyl. and a 3-speed manual transmission. There are plenty of upgrades you can do to a 300. In my opinion it is a very good engine. I have owned mine for 27 years.

New set of plugs points condenser and wires and it will be a good running truck. Enjoyed the video

Great job has always. I liked and shared, All my very best.

Sounds really good Richard you definitely have the touch

Good Job Richard 👍👏👏👏

That a nice old truck,it did not take you long to get that running,another excellent job

I'm surprised it ran so nice! Great effort getting the old girl running for a new chance at life!

Your videos are so good, I watched all of them👍

At approximately 9:35... pouring MMO down the carb isn't going to free up a stuck valve on an overhead valve engine such as the Ford 300. Valves stick in the guides (baring a cylinder so loaded with rust that the valves physically cannot move due to the massive amounts of corrosion!). The most likely occurrence was that there was slight corrosion on one or more of the cylinder walls but it wasn't so bad that you couldn't push it off by applying torsional force at the end of the crankshaft. In other words, the surface rust was scraped off by the rings. The odds are high that the valves were free moving. By the way, the smart play is to always pop off any valve covers when you go to start a long dormant engine. This accomplishes several things including: 1. You ensure that there is no debris deposited on top of the head by critters. 2. You can visually inspect the valvetrain for any obvious damage. 3. You can visually inspect the valvetrain for proper movement as you slowly turn over the engine by hand. 4. You can physically tap on the end of the valve stems if needed thus assuring movement. With #3, any stuck valves are totally obvious. With #4, any sticky valves will be obvious. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

Nice one Richard, you made it look easy.

Richard those Ford straight 6’s are the best old engines. Congratulations on the start. Sounds really strong at the higher RPM’s . Guessing you got it. Did not see your partner in crime this episode. 💯👍❤️

@1:42, Kraco or Audiovox stereo!

300 six is pretty hard to kill!

Well that one was a great success Richard. Thanks for sharing!

Don't see it rolling the smoke, so still a good engine.

Hey glad to see you have another video out but where's your Sidekick it just doesn't seem right it's like watching an episode of when I was a kid Batman with no Robin? Well I hope to see y'all together again soon

There are a lot of RU-vidrs out there, that walk you through the process of checking the gap on the site lugs, explaining why it is important, a d, also the firing oder on the various engines. I can’t speak for anyone else, but, as for myself, I lime that information. Just a little food for thought.

That will be the 300 6. The best motor Ford ever built

love the will it run videos. Great job again, thank God it wasnt frozen. Keep them coming.

Another great save on a great old truck.

Great video hard to beat those old 6cyl engines are hard to beat thanks for sharing

Great work👌, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

You did good🥇

Fantastic result. I love the methodical way you work! Well done Richard, from UK subscribed and love the content.

great videogood runner

NICE JOB

Great video awesome job

Hey Richard great job at getting the old girl running again! I was a bit surprised when you opened the the hood and saw a inline 6 but they are great motor and hopefully she gets a second choice on life!!😊

The price just went up $500 😅

Thanks Richard this was a really neat episode. Surprised how easily you got that old girl to run. I was also surprised it was a six, mind you the six is a vastly underrated motor. Thanks for sharing, hope you got a discount on your car lol.👍👍🇨🇦

Excellent video Richard :) yes those 300 Cubic Inches 6 cylinder motor good condition possible if got tune up be ready roll and plus rest truck too! I think remember those truck have Granny 4 speed Bow Low First gear and yes those 300 eat fuel lots but did job in there day ! Also if key ignition switch on you get lots voltage on recharge battery plus more Richard! Yes live on forever getting running too and nice shape in too!

Great seeing you doing this Richard, I try to do as much as I can myself but it’s getting hard to find vehicles to do anything with around my area. I am in North Central Kentucky. If you’re ever down around this way doing anything I need a hand give me a shout we could collaborate together with our channels.

Hello Richard. Wow, It’s amazing how smooth those 300s are with just a little bit of work. I absolutely love those engines because of the low end torque that they deliver and their lugging power in which it seems like the 300 engine is the most happy under the most severe use. Regarding the bottle for squirting the gas into the carburetor, I now save my 20 ounce ketchup squirt bottles because the bottles are not too cumbersome and the top doesn’t let the gas pour out unless you are squeezing the contents out. The ketchup bottles would also be an excellent way to squirt in either the Berryman B12 or SeaFoam fuel treatment without going overboard One thing that I do with my stuff usually during early spring to clean out any varnish buildup is to mix a heavy dosage of Berryman B12 with the gasoline.and run the 7734(Remember that calculator trick) out of the engine. With that said, I was actually thinking that you could do the exact same thing with your portable hanging gas tank that you use while keeping the remaining contents of your can of Berryman B12 or even the Mystery Oil for pouring directly into the carburetor. And Yes, The Marvel Mystery Oil is great for areas of heavy mosquito infestation(LOL). The Ford 300 engines were the only engines that survived when they had sand poured in when they did the buyback program a few years back according to Pat on @PowerNation and he knows how to build a wicked engine or so and some very wicked 300’s.

Running pretty well considering the old points and cap.
