Started right up

Didn't 78 have square headlights? Or did they change that in 79?

Score!

I love driving back roads here in alberta, and seeing all the hot rods just waiting to be born or reborn... ...get 20 mins outside the city and there seems to be at least one or two sweet cars waiting to be restored on at least every second or third farm or acreage... aside from those with no floors left in them from being parked on grass for all those years...

Who's so cheap that they buy a truck with a 6 cylinder motor?

351 junk

Great job! Surprised to see it running like that after 16 years of neglect.

I love your heart for helping friends. 💙

good save. them old bull nose are only gonna be worth more now that dentsides have gone way to high in prices

You do great work!

Sage green interior. Love it. Same as my 81

You’re not saying that Fords need to be hauled more than dodges are you?😂 I’m just kidding!

Good save it looks to good to part out id fix it up . Ive got a 81 an 76 on my channel . Cheers mate🇦🇺

To not like Dodge you sure do mention em a lot in this video!

wth, its got chevy key gaurds on the doors lol

Love the gear reduction starter, the sound of restricted exhaust though.

Looks like you finally got a real truck!

does anyone know where i can buy the hardline that goes from the fuel pump to the carb? or can i use braided?

I cover that on the will it run video for this bronco. 1/2” drive ratchet or breaker bar, 3” extension, and a short 1/2” drive 15/16 socket on the vibration dampener bolt will put your ratchet or breaker bar pretty much flush with the crank pulley and hanging down where you can easily turn it. 😊

So now tomorrow when I try to slip that pump back on I need to find the sweet spot on that eccentric by moving the crank shaft but my man Rusty didnt show how he was able to turn the crank in his video.. What Is the best way to use a 1/2" rachet and turn one of the pulleys to turn the crank???? Suggestions please!!!!!! PS I have arthritis.

Awesome! That’s why I decided to do the channel. I am always fooling with this stuff and was hoping by posting some videos it might help others keep their old fords on the road. Thanks for the positive feedback and keep on truckin! 😊

Rusty, thanks. You saved the day. I just removed my fuel pump on my 1980 F250 Super Duty 351 Modified w/power assisted power steering. Differences are with mine is there is a frame cross member right below the fuel pump which means you have to get to the bolt and nut from the front by the radiator hose where there is a 50 degree window to put a closed end on the lower nut. I took the low hanging fruit and took the top bolt off first ... and when I was untightening the nut top of the pump stayed in the same position and started kicking the bottom out (just like in your video)there was pressure on the bottom nut which was making the nut very difficult to get off since in addition the fuel pump slipped further down thus decreasing the distance between the nut and upper body of the pump which made a closed end 1/2" wrench ineffective. So I decided to go back to youtube and search some more and found your video. Thanks again for your time and the tips!!

2 Ford dentsides close to each other is a rare site these days.

at least hes feeding it fuel not just drip it just for it to pop off and in those videos they wonder why it wont run 🙄like 99% of the youtube videos

I would get all of them to run😊😊😊😊. I love these truck's and I kick myself in the ass for getting rid of the one I had 😢😢😢

love that l6. Also the fact that you disconnected coil for safety was excellent.

This would have been a better video if it was a dodge.

woohoo a stepside, is it for sale

Awesomely informative fellow. 👌

Sounds like you need to replace your PS glow plug too. 😊

8deg thems rookie numbers

I would have warmed her up first with the oil probably being a little sludgy and thick but yeah glow plugs batteries and oil changes keeps them alive for a long time can’t beat the longevity but hate them when it comes time to fix them but I mean you cant beat a tuned diesel with a sound system no better feeling

About to knock this out in my ‘95. Thanks for taking the time to provide information to others.

Great video!

Good video. Gary said he remembers when you got the truck.

I think I see Camp Creek Bald in the background!!!!!! Lovin' the content. Keep it up.

Is there a bowl on that carb that you could fill?

Excellent video of your work.

Love the video! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

I found one of those ford Floor mats in a junkyard, bought it for $5 and through it in my dad's 77 freewheeling shortbed.

Thanks for covering up the round headlight

What you called an extension on the fuel line is a check valve added by ford after manufacturing due to pump check valve failures

Young ppl these days

78s had round and 79s had square if I’m not mistaken. I had a 79

Yeah, what a great truck. I just wish that Union wouldn't have killed it before, they even finished building it. In typical Union fashion, they said all of that great brand new steel outback, and went on strike. And you can see the effects of it in that rear quarter panel back there. It's called leverage.

Ok, now I know!? I stand corrected. Thank u for correcting me. I've never seen one like that??

And all fullsize broncos had square headlights.

outstanding!

Did u end up selling it? I saw it on the forum.
