Will This Tired Old Ford Come Back to Life? -- 1968 F100 Revival 

You should do an "update" video ... letting all of us know what became of each of your revivals, still owned, sold for a profit, drove into a ditch etc. Maybe a shop/ project update video once in a while too. Easy content to create and definitely something your loyal viewers would be interested in seeing!

"Supposedly, it was running at some point..." Well, yea.... they kinda all are.....

Kevin; split a tennis ball and put it on the hood latch! did it for years. saved my mellon.

This truck looks like a good candidate for a shade tree and basic engine rebuild series for people who want to learn to do it and on a budget

6:56 Because there was an 8 track of Fiddler on the Roof I could only think of one of the songs lyrics going, "If I was a Dipstick, La Da Di Da, La Da Di Da La Da Dum."

"I think I'm drowning it" *sprays more in*... I think vicegrip rubbed off on you a little too much😂

Neat truck, and deserving of a nice engine and trans. One thing’s for sure, that was the most unique burnout in the history of mankind. You had forward rotation AND backward rotation at the same time at one point, sounds never before heard during a burnout, I mean… one of a kind. Must be a record of some sort!

Tires and the "I-talian tune-up " and she's a runner

I had that Herb Alpert vinyl record when I was a kid. It's a great one!

She just straight up said “its nasty “ lol

Even though I'm not a big ford truck guy, this truck just strikes that "chord" with ya

It's because of you that I've kept my lawn mower alive. I just keep learning stuff. Thanks man.

Push on the dial face of the radio for the 8-track

I absolutely love these Revival videos and get so much out of it as a newbie I really hope you never get bored of doing them! There's so many of us discovering classic cars for the first time in our lives and we use these videos not just for entertainment, but for Education. Thank you so much!

I definitely feel like a 390 engine build video needs to happen. I don't believe I've ever seen a full engine build on this channel. I have built a few FE engines and have some tips and tricks and oiling mods I'd love to share, and I'd love to come over there and share em😁

Oh yeah you just gotta love that grill the way it is ! Kinda got the PISSED OFF LOOK going !!!

Kevin.... I could barely hold my shit together watching that rim spin inside the tire during the attempted burn out.. You won the internet tonight.. hah!

Thanks for putting out an episode every week. You and Mook are the only ones I have the alarm bell turned on for. Helping me get my fix! :)

You American fellas are truly blessed with all your V8 engines and technology. Us Brits have missed out on that science. We had little 1.3, 1.6 engines to play with . You guys cant even imagine..1.8 and 2 litre engines are very popular here. Diesels have a turbo nowadays..keeps us economical. And now green energy hybrid cars are all the rage . V8 s rarely seen. Classic car shows maybe. Born in wrong country.

Love watching your content! I myself brought back a 1970 Ford f100 that sat for 15+ years! Amazing how much your videos has helped me get it running. Thanks!

Really liked this revival. That truck brings back memories of my childhood. I loved the pushrod bending. No that’s class right there👍👍

As I've told @Revstoration , get yourself a pool noodle and cut a piece off and cram it over that hood latch to protect the noggin :)

thank you for your vids junkyard digs, i sadly blew an inline six because i failed to lubricate the engine after it sat 10 years and as we all know if you use starting fluid it dries out cylinder walls, ended up blowing a rod bearing. youre my hero dude and your videos are a huge inspiration.

That brought back memories. That's how my dad's 68 sounded. Just a sound no other truck made while running. Thanks for the memories. Makes me want to go find a 68 and keep as my regular truck.

Because of the borked engine and the numerous closed head injuries, I christen this truck Bam-Bam

This is the earliest I've ever gotten here. Hi everyone watching with me! Lol

you should use the audio of that old truck starting up in your junkyard digs opening segment bumper. it is perfect to go with the theme of your channel. i really enjoy your revivals. Most of the vehicles you revive were your typical and plentiful units me and my friends owned and tinkered with in the early early 80s when i was a high school kid.

Just started to watch a new Bruce Willis movie and at the 8th minute a junkie sniffing drugs in the same car. And I watched this episode today. I know it is not exactly the same, but still made my day.

I do agree though. She ain’t pushing oil to the top. More than likely the push rods are plugged. Won’t run for long like that😢

Borrow one of Mook's Emory boards (for when she does or doesn't do her nails) and just clean both sides of points at same time. You only need to steal one and it will last for years.

My autistic non verbal 6 year old, was giggling and watching you ver intently, as you kept zapping yourself. I don’t always know what he sees or understands. But he sure does like you guys. Nice to bond over something so simple. Thanks 😊

There is just something about having the original engine and everything else that came with the truck more meaningful, too me personally. but It's your truck and it sure is pretty!

Drinking game every time Kevin whacks his head take a shot

My sons and I have 86 Ford Bronco with Ford straight-six engine that we slowing getting it back on the road.

This truck brings back some memories. My 2nd truck ( 1st one I ever drove ) was a 1972 F100 Ranger that was the same color scheme of that truck. I learned a whole lot about working on FE's while I owned that truck. Mine was a 390. I was 16/17 when I owned it. It looks like your truck has a carb off a 70 or 71. And three wheels off a late 80's-early 90's F150. And if it was an engine that you actually cared about it's not a bad idea, if you have the rocker shaft off. Pull the push rods and spray some brake cleaner thru them all to make sure they aren't plugged up. And then pour some ATF over the rocker shafts and valves before you throw the cover back on. Can't wait to see the swap. But it is kind of sad. A good FE has a great exhaust sound. At least you aren't throwing a ls in it!!

You have a great foundation for a restoration there. Looks like everything is great except the motor and I picked up the hint that you already have one to tuck in her. That's going to be a sweet ride

That radio is an 8 track. It goes in where the dial is. The dial folds in.

Hey Mook... my wife and I have spent some time volunteering at a shelter (Animal Rescue Foundation... ARF... in Mobile, AL), and we currently have 5 adopted dogs! You gotta love volunteers!

I have a soft spot for these trucks. I remember riding in the middle with the underdash A/C just threatening to scalp my shins. Dad taught me to drive his 1967 long bed F100 Ranger with a 352 and a three speed column shift. I will never forget the looong reach to squish the pedals, the giant steering wheel, and the feeling that I was in zero control until that clutch pedal came off the floor and we were on our way. Give your kids memories like that.

Love those old Fords. I had 1970 and this one reminds me a lot of that one which brings back some great memories. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Peace

just got finished watching junkyards mook efi revival went back to the home page and saw this.Cant wait.

Thats a nice looking truck, and bed aside pretty solid. I like the rims that were on the drivers side and the flat rear, hope you have a full set of those. With a decent engine (or overhaul) It'll make a nice ride, especially if you can keep the AC working! Just crusin' along listening to Fiddler on the Roof!!!

It’s crazy how this truck SOUNDS familiar. I have a 71 F100. The door hinge squeak, and close sounds the same. So does the FE crank over sound.

Hello From KY. Kevin & Mook, I always enjoy all of your Ford Truck videos; Especially the ones with the Inline 6 cylinder engines. Recently I purchased another 1985 F-150 Ford with a carbureted 300 with a NP435 transmission from a car dealer that had just parked the truck on the lot. The engine has the typical 300 peck from the lifters but otherwise you can’t hardly hear the engine running. My 1990 F-150 with the EFI 4.9/300 cid with a E4OD transmission is needing a starter replacement. This truck has the weird conditions in which the starter will stay engaged until the battery dies or the battery post is quickly as possible disconnected. Recently I was in route home in a torrential downpour in a neighboring town in which for no apparent reason the starter engaged as I was driving. I turned the key switch back and forth several times in which I think that the starter finally burned itself up. The amp gauge was just about completely over to the left on discharge until the starter finally gave up the ghost. As I made my way back home through the monsoon, The gauge gradually returned pretty much to normal and I was fortunate enough to get the truck back home with no further incident. I kind of took your advice and purchased one of the Pure Energy starters rather than pay full price for a parts store starter that may or may not fry itself like the OEM Motorcraft starter that was on the engine. Have you encountered this issue with any of your Fords and what did you do to resolve the issue. And yes, I ordered a OEM Motorcraft starter solenoid rather than the parts store solenoids that have been not very good. A friend of mine suggested that the starter switch located under the steering column may be going bad, So I ordered a OEM Motorcraft switch as well. In past years, I had a 1974 F-100 with the FE 360 engine in which the engine always ran decently but I never could find a 2 barrel carburetor that was exactly right for the engine. I finally sold the truck to someone that I knew who finally killed the truck. Thanks for all of your great videos.

I was really hoping for some way-lawn Jennings 8 tracks in there!

This might tie with the ‘68 Ford F-250 in terms of carburetor grimy-ness. Also, that open headers really put me in mind of the ol' F250

That factory AC unit is worth so much money. That theres a keeper.

For stuck or sticky valves, I usually bring the piston to the top of the stroke and remove the valve spring. Then lock the stem in a drill chuck and lube and spin while working up and down.

Herb Alpert is DEFINITELY worth a listen.

That is a lovely truck. Sounds like a new motor or rebuild in its future. With A/C it’d make a great daily driver!

Very cool old truck. My first truck when I was 16 was a 1969 F100 Ranger. It had a 390. A tired 390. I loved that truck. I rebuilt the engine and transmission. It was a great old truck. I still miss it.

I have an old 1970 f100, love the trucks- its been hell trying to restore it. It belonged to my dad. he had it ever since he was 17. These are cool trucks n shit. I just feel like im in a pickle working on mine. so much stuff I have to do. when you guy just slap it with laughing gas and vroom vroom. you guys are magicians.

Yeah, I wanna see a F U L L restore on this now

"This truck hates me". Wow... I'm glad it's not just me working on vehicles that seem to enjoy hurting me... Love it.. 😊

Kids..... Push your finger into the radio dial, some of 'em flipped up and that's where you'd put the 8 track. A Ranger in that shape?! Excellent find!

Notification squad!👍🏻

"Everybody Wants A Mook Hug" When she's right she's RIGHT!

Jed is a family friend. I've know him since I was little. He's a damn good dude.

The patina and lack of rust holes looks beautiful on this truck. The blue and white two tone is just icing on the cake

I see, I click, best birthday surprise is a JYD video

34:14 Worse burnout in history 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣. Great job getting it running though!

That interior is actually pretty nice! I believe the 352 was only available thru 67 if I'm not mistaken. I love 67-72 Ford trucks! Also cool to see the old 6.9 doing work.

Been a mechanic for 20 years. Didn't know that about running an engine w. no exh. manifold... Thanks for the info!!

Not first, but I love old Ford trucks.

"Down here in Texas Bob Wills is still the king"

1968 Ford f-100 awesome video junkyard digs in lowa take your time almost turn over new tires paint job old school vehicle keep bringing new videos soon bless you this weekend

Man that DEERE is one fine piece of equipment.

Wee the old girl is running @20:25 she sounds pretty good other then the lifter noise @Junkyard Digs

You got to do sumthing with the old F250 love to see it back.

That portable tool kit looks like it has everything I got in my original craftsmen starter mechanics tools set back in 1972. By 1984 when I quit working as a mechanic to program computers, I had 2 roller cabinets and 2 top boxes full of metric and Imperial tools which I still have. I've come to the conclusion that you can never have enough tools.

my first truck was a 68 ford custom 100 3 on the tree and a 390 loved that old truck

Whenever ever you got the time brah, revive some muscle cars!

So glad when I bought my new TV I didn't opt for smell-a-vision.

Check the PCV valve. Replace it and the hose. Make sure you get the right hoses. My dad rebuilt an engine in an old truck, but did not replace the pcv valve and it was sucking oil up into the carburetor. Smoked like the old tar kettles they used on the road for warning. Through his disgust, he gave it to me( I was 14) and said I could drive it fishing. I noticed oil on the hose and replaced them both. Let’s just say dad was an Indian giver.

Love the Patina On both the white and the blue looks good that grill came out super clean great episode Kevin see ya on the next one @Junkyard Digs

It's amazing how those old V8's can put up with all that abuse. I can't believe that an Ecoboost will be able to do anything in 50 years!

"Rear end seems good". (Tires set on ground and not moving and driveshaft spinning away.) Better check

I'm 69 years old and retired. I don't need to learn anything, I just need to watch and be entertained.

My Old 1968 Nova had lifter tapping that drove me nuts ..My Uncle was a Mechanic for Gm Dealership. He pulled the valve cover and adjusted them up and it quieted them down a bit .but they were still a tapping ....He said just drive it .it will be fine ....Drove that little 250 straight 6 for 5 years .Drove it from St Petersburg Fl to Geauga county Ohio and back twice ...Never a problem .M.A.G.A

I'd almost be willing to bet the radio has an 8-track player behind the tuner display.

When Mook first showed up she look like the stoner in the movie Dazed and Confused. LOL No offense Mook, I la you.

I bought a '67 F100 with a 352 3 speed back when I was 17 for $450. Damn thing had no brakes but ran like a scalded dog. Loved that truck.

Was awesome to see this, I love seeing these trucks saved. Bought a '72 when I was 16 and will never let go of it. Great trucks

You should do another revival like the satellite so a mopar muscle car revival

I wanna buy it lol, can't find decent priced F100s in my aera everyone wants a rusted out body for 5-7k man come on!

I love these old bumpside fords! Swap a good running FE with a 4bbl in it and drive it! Good find!

Kevin, that one is really solid. Wow. Though a valve job for what is probably a 360 would get it back on the road, a modified 390 or 460 would be terrific.

I am sad to say but when you buy an omaze ticket only 15% goes to charity

What I Call When An Old Pickup Starts Up For The First Time In Years: History

Kevin that blue truck has potential I have faith that you can get it running great.

I have a 67 F600. The engine is a 330 FT but it is very similar in most aspects to an FE engine. These engines were machined and assembled without exhaust manifold gaskets. Over time the exhaust manifolds start to leak and get loud. The mounting bolts usually break off whenever you try to remove them in order to fix exhaust leaks. Some exhaust manifolds crack and break. They are hard to find and replace. The broke off bolts are usually why they get parked and never driven again.

You should just rebuild the engine and transmission

I love them old Fords. This thing needs a nickname kinda like Mook's truck.

That ford F100 is one of the nicest trucks I've seen inside and out, man I would loved to have had that truck

I had a ''70 F-100 that had a 360 with a C-6 and it ran strong for the 15 years I had it. It looked quite similar to this one.

The interior just needs some D-Germ.

Eyyy perfect timing!

There's many reasons I like seeing older vehicles getting restored and cared for, but one major reason is because fixing them up helps bring back good times. This truck is old enough to have grandpa/grandma go cruisin' in like they used to when they were younger and the truck brand new. That's why I still drive a 1990 S10 to work, because it helps to get away from all the technology and complexity of everything these days. Simple to work on, and power to boot, these old rides just shouldn't die.

Speaking of diesels, found out one of my co-workers that's leaving the job today drives a 1980s GMC Sierra with the 6.2L diesel. Was pretty cool to learn!

Yeah, thanks for bringing a flat tire to the "burnout" party.
