I got to ride in one of these back in the 70s. It was a company car that my dad was driving one day and he came by the house to let me look at it and take a ride. It was very quiet and smooth riding.

How cool is this? I remember driving my dad's at 15. Won't feel any road bumps in this baby.

Get a new battery. You may also need a new starter.

There's alot of things about this car that don't add up. Let me explain. The emblem that is on the vinyl top about the rear quarters was only used in 1975 and 1976 - Not 1977 or 78. Also the rear fender skirts are missing which should be there for the Landau model. Also, the analog clock is wrong hence why it's probably broken as it was replaced. The LTD Landau's had the digital clock where there base and brougham had the analog that you see in this video. This car seems to be a mix match of parts for whatever reason. To the normal person it would appear correct but to someone like me who knows these cars in and out - there are red flags all over this car.

We had a 75 with 400 2bbl she would turn up 120mph easy

My dream car, looking forward to buying it one day

Just discovered your channel! Great stuff! You remind of me when I was younger! Keep up the great work buddy! I look forward to watching more! 😊

Try tapping the start if it's froze

Need to charge the

Hope to see the LTD get some engine work. Looking forward to it

Get a good hot battery on there and see what she does. Crank it with the key after thr new battery. Maybe spray some starting fluid into the intake to see if you have spark and if she'll fire. If it still cranks shitty with a good battery, id throw a starter on it and go from there.

I’d answer yes before even watching. It’s the goat.

Uh... wow. Not mentionable. I wouldn't show this to my 5 yr old grandson because he's way smarter than this nonsense.

Needs way more cranking power battery jumper cables would probably start right up

What a victory this is... So satisfying to see it start and turnover.

Get a new battery

no need to jump the new solenoid, just use the key now to start it, starter is fine, battery is very weak, needs new battery to,lol good work

Get a can of brake cleaner and spray it into the air intake and see if it will start

Great video!

It seems like you battery is dead. If you bring a better battery it should turn over a lot faster. Also check your battery connections to see if it’s loose. Your definitely close to starting it

Good Ol' FERD F ONE FIDDY

Get a jack and jack stands, jack the front up, secure with stands, confirm secure, get underneath and put ratchet on crank, put top 1/2 of jack bar on ratchet. One hold ratchet in place, the other use increased leverage to turn crank over and over maybe three times, refill cylinders with pbblaster. Charge battery, confirm you are putting positive to positive and negative to negative. Get remote starter. See what happens. If no go test voltage at battery, relay, starter, alternator. Good luck.

It's got a bad starter it's not locked up take the cover off for the transmissions at and use a screwdriver and turn the flywheel😊 it'll turn the engine over easier done with the front bolt

Beautiful car. Never seen one with no trunk keyhole.

I think maybe remove the head and see if the piston rods and springs aren't stiff? I've seen several youtubers do that if the Engine is stuck. Interesting video, I can't wait to see what you guys will do next.

Like the other guy said use a screwdriver on the starter solenoid (just look up a replacement vid if you aren’t sure where it is) and bridge both metal threaded ends which will bypass what sounds to be a bad solenoid and when it turns over just make sure the key is in the run position because it’s easy to forget… also the reason the second battery didn’t work is because you left the plastic cap on one of the terminals lol and the negative terminal was too loose and the battery might not have had enough power combined with that so there’s a start, also make sure to listen behind the cab at the front of the bed of the truck for the fuel pump to prime (when you turn the key to the run position) but if it doesn’t make a buzz at all the fuel pump is most likely rusted and fuel is bad but you can run it off starting fluid or brake clean for a couple seconds to establish it runs and then get a new fuel pump. hope this helps

i do hope a part 2 comes i would love to hear that 4.9 come to life

I noticed u turned that key without disconnecting the fuel system, that gas is pure varnish n will clog the fuel injection systen

Honestly it sounded like the starter is either gettin bound up & not fully engaging or you dont have enough juice to for the starter to fully engage,i know that starter sound VERY well. (my step dad is a 45 year lisenced mechanic.) try those 2 things in another video?

These trucks came with a side post battery that’s why the positive and ground are so short

As you get older you will realize you learn the most when things don’t go as planned. Keep up the good attitude and move forward. You will learn what you need to know.

Great effort and determination, one thing you can try is to remove the surpentine belt, I am not familiar with this model how to do it, this info can be found on Ford truck forums etc. I suggest this because an accessory such as alternator, water pump or even the idler pulleys, the tensioner itself could be seized. This makes the engine itself appear to be stuck. Work with this first and I can help you from there.

did you try jumping the starter solenoid on the left fender fire wall, follow the red cable, use a screwdriver and a glove to jump the poles to bypass it or get a new one is the proper thing to do,lol

What you have there is a low mileage, very well maintained truck that has never been abused. The year, make and model have less to do with its condition

These '88-'98 GM trucks are the most reliable and longest lasting trucks ever made in my opinion. They used that term in their advertising for a reason. My dad has a 1990 C1500 with the throttle body injected 5.7 350 and he has over 665k mi on the original engine. The valve covers haven't even been off of it. Still factory sealed. Still runs great. I'm sure it's lost some hp over the years but they weren't that powerful when new anyway so it's not really noticeable 😂. As long as you keep the oil changed and don't redline it everywhere you can get a LOT of years and mileage out of these. There are several of this generation of truck with the 350 5.7 that have gone 1 million miles!

There is a reason Ford has been number one since 1973. 😊😊😊

Working on an old car is a labor of love. No one said it would be easy. Modern cars you can’t do repairs at all. If you love the car, keep it and put up with the expense. Remember, you are learning and it will get easier.

You should take the original one to a radiator shop and have them recore it. The brass/copper is better than the new. Just store it on a shelf. IMHO.

Don't forget to wear that seatbelt nephew! Also, make sure to put on hazard lights when you pull off the road. Great fix and super funny one liners. Enjoy the summer with it.
