Ive got both a C600 and a C900. Love them! Better get those sticky brakes fixed before you ruin your tire or wear out your clutch!
Nice! I came across a few other units I would like, but one's all I can handle! I need a bigger space for projects 🤣. I did drive her around a little more and they became much better. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Nice project! I was a Ford truck mechanic back in the seventies. I use to say it had a mystery shifter. You never knew what gear you were going to get. When the shifter was in any gear there was enough slop for another couple of shift patterns. I like the fact that it has a Y block. All I remember was the FE/FT engines, the Cat 3208 and the 401/477/534 Super Duty gas engines.
I had a buddy that drove a 1969 cabover Ford grain hauler with dump bed during harvest for his brother in law. I have no idea how he could find a gear in that thing! I thought maybe because the thing was 20+ years old at the time (This was the 1990's) that maybe the linkage was worn out but looks like this was status quo. I do like those old trucks.
Thanks for sharing Bill! The shifter is still a little mysterious to me now. I'm used to top loader gear shifters that area way less sloppy. I too am starting to like the nostalgia behind the Y Block engine. It's a piece of history. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
@Stephen it is exactly the same! So far my only gage is rubbing the gage cluster (first) or trying to grab the radio (reverse). Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁
Most Y-block canister filter's take a either a Wix 51004, 51271 or equivalent. There are some variations over the years but those are the common filter element. Can convert to spin-on with a Napa 4124, also available from places like Dennis Carpenter, etc.
Thanks! I will look into these parts. I'm leaning towards a spin on for functionality, but it kind of removes the historic element. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
To much fun neat old ford truck.
I really like old Margret! Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Awesome! Thanks
Thanks! She's a fun old truck! Thanks for watching 👍😁
I can smell that gear oil too. Better you than me.
Love the cold start. Please always make those! Especially from inside. So cool!
Thanks! I have better audio capabilities now. It gives me more options; I can video / audio inside the cab or audio inside cab while videoing the engine bay. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
A lot of those shifters got very stiff to operate. There are a ton of linkages to lube up from what I remember.
Hell yeah dude! Glad you got it driving! Actually sounds pretty good too
Thanks! I am pretty excited about it! Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Great stuff keep it up.
Thanks! 👍😁
Good Job 👍
Thanks Donnie! Thank you for watching. Cheers, 👍😁
Always a intrigued in these videos. I love corky things. And my wife would like one of these trucks. When we get some of projects done lol.
Much to my wife's dismay I spend time on old 'Margret' (sometimes) instead of all the other things I need to complete.... Oopsie 🤔. It is cool your wife is interested in old trucks! Better jump on one if you find an opportunity. Thanks for watching. 👍😁
🤙🏻nice work man!
Thanks! Stay turned I have big plans for this old girl in the future. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Wix 51271 Cartridge there was a adaptor available to use a spin on and that took the old fram PH8A, yes lubing all the joints on the shift linkage is needed plus it looks as if it has a 2 speed rear end . If it doesnt have air brakes it wont be wedge style but if memory serves each shoe has its only wheel cylinder most likely they are partially rusted and in need of rebuilt or replaced it will take a little research but most likely they are still around nos if nothing else
Hi Patrick! Thank you for sharing info on the oil filter and brakes. 😁 It definitely has air brakes and a two speed differential. I need to start tinkering with those items more. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
@@FlatThunder now wedge brakes they are a breed on their own, if that is what it has had a semi trailer with those and they were always dragging a little so as to glaze the linings not so much hanging up like the issues you have but squeezed a lot to the point of annoyance
Cool video.that truck is really neat. Sent an email the other day didn’t hear back, anyways keep it up on Margret
Sorry if I missed your email.....I will look for it. Thank you for your nice comment and thanks for watching! 👍😁
Nice to see that *Ferd* driving around Andy! 🙂👍 I like that SK ratchet of yours! I hope things are going well for you my friend. Take care and happy wrenching 🔧
Thanks Zane! I was excited to finally get her out of the driveway and happy to use Grandpa's old SK ratchet in the process. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Another Dodge guy... lacking enough smarts to say "Ford". 😒🙄🤦🏻♂️

@@MaxGiganteum awwh 🥺 Didn't mean to hurt your widdle feelings..I hope you can one day get over it 🤡
Greetings from the Ohio Porters. 🤩 Love the old Ford Cabover!🥰 I drove a 1965 C800 back in the day. Have such wonderful memories of that truck.🥰 It had a 390 gas engine…I don’t remember what oil filter or gas filter it took, other than the fuel filter was an inline metal casing. The exhaust manifold leaked, so we had to finally take it off and replaced the gaskets so that it would sound right. It was a 5 & 2 speed. Those trucks were so awesome. Hope that you really enjoy this truck! It’s unusual, classy and has lots of style and character! Oh, make sure you check the wiring harness under the cab/behind the grill…it has a plug that can sometimes come disconnected. Mine did. Good stuff! Keep On Truckin! 😎🤩✌️
Thanks! I will check that wiring connection. It would be really cool if that was the problem area and a easy fix. Right now none of the accessories or lights work. I was shocked the ignition/starter circuit was functional. She's had a few farmer modifications! The old C800 sounds like a fun rig! Thanks for watching! 👍😁
@@FlatThunder 🇺🇸 That plug caused lots of problems for us until we found that it was loose. I remember being on the side of the road trying to get it running and spending hours of troubleshooting on it. I have many fond memories of that truck. We put hubcaps on those Dayton wheels, lots of lights on it, a hitch for pulling trailers/mobile homes and a toolbox behind the cab. It got lots of use! I loved that single axle tractor and drove it to high school.🥰 You could turn that thing around on a dime and it sounded really good once that exhaust leak was fixed! I’m glad you have the truck. Thanks for sharing! I’m really enjoying your stuff!🤩✌️
@@the.porter.productions you are getting me excited about customizing this old girl! She has a long way to go, but hopefully I can drive her around while working on her! Thanks for your kind words. I'm happy my projects are enjoyable for others to watch. Hoping it encourages others to take on their own projects and save some old iron! 😁
@@FlatThunder 🇺🇸Paul here. I’ve found that working on these old rigs is quite exciting, especially if you can work on them in a garage. The Ford cabover has lots of style and potential! By all means, take her out for a spin every once in a while! Gotta enjoy every step of progress…and then test your work with a fun drive! It’s the little things that can make this rig so, so cool! These old trucks can be so functional still! Thanks for sharing your work! 🤩🥰😎✌️
Great job showing the OIL changes.
I know what your going through. My 353
Detroit, on my Backhoe TOY just like you and the RED girl. Has ALL filters canister just like your truck. Like some of the other comments. Sense it's basically a big SOCK. Why not just clean the element good. I have the same issue on shifts on SeaGrave. I have my DASH points for where to push shifter. I some times just sit in cab when I Run her. And just shift without moving to FEEL it go in gears. Plus ithe shift lever shows you where a reference point is. The comments are right. I have a tone of linkage going back to
Spicer. Then there this funny looking YOKE
Because of my PTO for pump. I removed a lot of the RODS going back to spot were pump transfer case was. There is a guy who has a Transfer case for my Pump, he will just give me.
I like the idea though of just having a portable pump. Then I can spray water as I drive her.
Keep doing the how too videos. I learn so much from you. I will do a U- Tube video on my 71
SeaGrave for you to see my Engine, and it Running, I have 4 SIRENS on her. Two coaster
Two Electric.
I will watch the video of your SeaGrave when it's uploaded! The free transfer case sounds like a winner. 'Anything free is worth saving up for' 😁. I think the more I use the shifter it will operate better. I'll plan out targets for 3rd and 4th when I locate them 😁. Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍
@@FlatThunder
I hope you FIND your filter. I will try to Look it up on line. Talk to my guy who does all the stuff I can't do. The FD even takes there tuff jobs to him. He does complete overhauls, rebuilds on all forms of class- 8 truck. I will see him next week, see if he KNOWS the filter number. Or remember anything about the great old longest running C- series Ford cab overs.
In case you haven't researched it yet, IIRC there are adapters available to convert the Y-block to a spin on type filter. The various displacements were installed in a wide variety of Ford & Mercury cars and trucks. I'm pretty sure Lincoln as well. As for the Y-block engines, there is still a ton of parts available for them if you wish to improve what you have. If you plan on keeping her, you might look into some upgrades in the future. Best wishes! 👍🏻🇺🇸👨🏻🏭

Hi Max! I researched a conversion kit to convert her into a standard spin-on filter. However I haven't gotten any further. The biggest hold up on parts is finding a solid reference to indicate I have the correct part number. I think I started referencing a Lincoln or F100 model. I am still slowly working on her. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
I watched all the other videos and I love this truck. I saw in one of your videos you have the fuel pump wired to the coil pos. That should only have about 6 volts in the run position due to the points. Usually during cranking the coil gets 12v and then it goes through a ballast resistor to drop to 12v. This might be why you had fuel pump issues. Might be worth looking into a electronic conversion for the points as well.
Hi Landis! I believe you are correct. The stepped down voltage at the primary side of the coil made my fuel pump operate at a whisper. I temporarily gave it a manual feed from the battery. She needs a ton of wiring to get all the systems working correctly. Thanks for watching. 👍😁
I use a BALDWIN LF314 {#P80} oil filter, the one from rock auto comes with all rings and gaskets needed. They also have a nice set of spark plugs. I have a 292 Yblock. You can also find parts easier if you reference 1957 Thunderbird y block
Thanks for sharing! I will have to check out the oil filter and she definitely needs a tune up. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
It mpst likely has the old wedge style brakes. They'll sometimes seize upwhen they sit. Usually taking out the wedge, give it a good cleaning and grease, will fix the sticking
Good question, I will have to look into this possible wedge mechanism. I'm sure everything's all gummed up with rust and goo. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Actually very impressed. You did guess right where what plug was on the gearbox. The old oil was just moisture contaminated and very old from the looks of it. Metal flakes maybe to do the fact the clutch master went bad a long time ago and the shifting was incorrect to begin with and some of the gears got grinded in the process.
Thanks! I was paranoid it would have a ton of water sitting in the gear box that would freeze up and bust. She was a little crusty. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
@@FlatThunder All is good I think the rust will not be a issue inside, it will become clear after the next oil change. I don't know if there is a after market oil filter housing for a more modern filter. Definitely worth investigating, since some of the old cartridge filters have become obsolete overtime.
@@SuperMAZ007 I think I may find the correct cartridge and buy an adapter. The idea would be to keep the original for historic value, but have a readily available spin on for ease of use.
@@FlatThunder That is neat idea. If you gonna open the old canister. Be ready for some spillage and have a rubber mallet cause they sometimes stick hard. Also some have not a o-ring but a grooved rubber gasket to match the housing. Just letting you know, but maybe not case on this vehicle.
If you actually take the oil filter out then you can bring it to the motor factors and they will get a visual match very quickly...it might even have a part no. On the old filter...other than that your just playing a guessing game...
Good idea, I was hoping to have options available before removing the old one. I don't want a dead horse this size in the driveway 🤣. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
My dad and I did this to get a new oil filter for our TEA20 Ferguson tractor
@@alpharaptor7510 I have TO20 that needs some work. I believe Dad and I had a similar encounter with it's oil filter. Thanks for all watching! 👍😁
I'm sure that old filter is doing a great job with that new oil..
All the gasoline dumped in the engine from the stuck float might have cleaned out the old one? 🤔
It wasn't a stuck float... the likely culprit is a bad diaphragm on the fuel pump. Check your fuel pump if you haven't over all this time!! Peace & good vibes! ✌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I love your truck! I have a 73 and was wondering if you could give me on the brake system? Mine does not brake very well.
Thank you very much.
Thanks! I can try my best to help. I haven't dug into mine yet, but will hopefully investigate it before too long. Mine brake exceptionally good.... Almost too good! Thanks for watching 👍😁
@@FlatThunder Thank you very much. I am not mechanically inclined but try a few things here and there. I bought mine because I had one as a toy when I was a kid. That was pretty much all I got as toys. So I love it when I see one running like yours! I truly appreciate it. I will be bugging you from time to time if you don't mind.
@@josetapaia3945 I too remember them from my younger days! I'm happy you enjoy watching me tinker with this old girl, aka 'Margret'. I'll try to help out if I can! Stay tuned in the future for more videos on her. She is a long term project for me. Cheers, 👍😁
That's a nice looking truck, does that have the 292Y HD?
Thanks! 332 Y block. 👍😁
I got the same truck I need some information about how to do a front and rear axle swap since I don’t really like the band wheel thanks
Awesome! I haven't ventured that far down the resto path. I'm not likely going to change the axles. I wonder if you could just change the spindles out front? Thanks for watching! 👍😁
My rear hubs are leaking plus am planning to switch wheels but am still in the process
@@gato771000 share a picture of the end result!
Try the two speed sometime.
I believe it works, but have yet to test it. The wiring on this old girl needs some serious attention. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
you should presser wash your work area
Haha if I can move enough stuff out of the way! Currently I'm trying to fit 25lbs of stuff in a 5lb box. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
While not as much fun as driving it you could jack up one side and put it in high gear and let it run a while to get things warmed up. Also to "wash out" a trans rear end even an engine get them warm drain the fluids put in some diesel fuel and run them for a short period of time. Re drain and refill with clean oil. I have done it many times. The diesel has enough oil in it so it won't hurt anything and the thinner liquid will wash out all the gunk and fines. In a pinch you could remove the oil filter to find out which one you need then wash it out and reinstall till you can get one. Old stuff is a lot more forgiving than the newer stuff.
@Johnny Holland. Good ideas! I contemplated splashing a little diesel in the gear box, but was afraid I would rush the process. I think I may give this a try in the future. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Never run an engine without oil! If you're going to do the old timers diesel trick then do it immediately prior to your oil change. You pour ONE quart of diesel fuel into the crankcase when the engine is hot and let it idle for 5 or 10 minutes then promptly drain it plus swap out your filter. Will this help keep your internals clean? Yes. But so will using a quality synthetic oil. On a seldom used vehicle, it doesn't make sense to run synthetic but that's an owners choice. Best wishes! 👍🏻👨🏻🔧🧰🇺🇸

Ironically my dad’s truck truck got an oil change today, it’s a 2016 F350
@Jake I bet it took quite a bit more oil. I was coming in around 6 quarts. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
@@FlatThunder it might’ve
My Friend I uploaded the video of my RED girl.
It is called (shifting Gears) my call out or name is (RP) did the video JUST for YOU my friend because you talk about your Love for the most perfect Looking Longest Running Production like all around great commercial Truck FORD made. The video is just for you hope it helps, in some small way. Would like to think your RED baby will thank me.
Thank you for sharing! I bet the kids really enjoy riding on this old girl. I think having a working pump to spray water would be a cool feature. I will pick out a few reference points in the cab for my shifting pattern as you suggested! Cheers old friend! 👍
