Zinc annodes will draw the electrolysis away from the parent metal of the frame and deteriorate before the parent metal rusts, whether it be aluminum or steel.
Bridge Authorities using them on bridges,
We’ll explained George
Also used (much larger) on steel canal barges in UK, probably other boats ships etc. . the zinc is sacrificial and on canal boats usually requires replacing periodically.
We use them on submersible pumps too!
Pipelines for sure - zinc anodes
That teardrop thing is a sacrificial anode, it will erode rather than the chassis it is bolted too. Very common on boats and some land equipment. Quite a good idea, they are relatively cheap and they just sit there and save your chassis.
Actually it isn’t very smart. Zincs only work when totally submerged in water and it’s usually only in salt water and where there is a lot of industrialization like paper mills, chemical plants or any other industry that uses a lot of electricity. I ran 3 big zincs on my lobster boat and everyone else runs zincs in my area and they’re gone within 6 months but my area has 2 paper mills and 2 chemical plants within a 30 mile radius. In areas where there isn’t any industrialization lobstermen don’t even run zincs on their boats and they have no problems. Plus I’ve don’t think zincs work in fresh water either.
@@mikehunt3222 Correct. Zinc works in salt water. Aluminum is used in fresh water.
That little gadget (zinc anode) was probably for when the backed the SPY boat down into the water. It would help keep the frame from rusting/corroding.
They probably had some on the SPY boat too.
Since it was back in the 90's we need to ask Maxwell Smart just to be sure
Problem is zincs only work while they’re totally submerged, so when they drove the truck out of the water they did nothing. Plus I’ve never seen a zinc eaten away on a boat in fresh water. Some over educated government idiot must have come up with that bright idea.
... and another one for the Rotary Dial Phone in his Shoe ... LOL. And yes, the Zinc anode is to protect against "Galvanic Corrosion" (happens even when not around Salt Water ... corrosion works 24/7).
@@craigsowers8456 corrosion works 24/7 but zincs do not except when totally submerged and I’ve only seen them eaten away in salt water. The zincs on my outboard at the lake have been on there for 10yrs and still look like new. I’ve been using zincs on my lobster boat for over 35yrs now and they’re gone within 6 months. Zincs on my outboard in the salt water last about a year because the lower unit isn’t in the water all the time, only when I’m out hauling traps or using it.
@@mikehunt3222 Gotcha and sorry if I wasn't clear ... you have Lobster boats so guessing you're from the Northeast. "Road Salts" come into play and once galvanic corrosion sets in, it never stops (unless fully neutralized chemically); which is why painting or oiling over an affected surface will merely drive it deeper ... it is "organic" and needs Oxygen to survive. With this truck being a "Fleet Purchase" by the USG, the "options" are pre-selected as they don't know where the vehicle will be "stationed" ... so ALL of the Fleet will have the Zinc anodes.
@@craigsowers8456 I understand that but zincs won’t work on a vehicle unless the zinc on that vehicle is totally submerged in salt water at all times. If they’re launching a boat with the truck as soon as they pull that truck out of the water and the zinc is exposed to the air it stops working. I could put zincs all over the inside of my boat and they won’t do a damn thing because they’re not submerged in the water. The zincs need the water to attract the electrolysis to them, as soon as they’re out of the water they stop working and do nothing even though they’re attached to the metal frame, IT WILL STILL RUST. You could probably even look this up on google but I’ve known this and experienced this for over 35yrs. When I pull my boat out of the water for 3 or 4 months a year the zincs stop being eaten away and anything steel on the boat starts to rust even stainless, depending on the kind of stainless will start to rust a little.
That is why you need a pitman arm puller. I like uncle Scott’s comment it’s a ford, won’t go fast enough to vibrate. I think it is more like counterbalance for the rest of the ford vibrations
Hey Clint - you & your 'gang' did an awesome job!! Thumbs up! Good Luck with the auction! Jim
When I saw you dropping the front axle I thought you were going to be putting a 1 ton straight axle in it.
Beautiful Truck
I just bought an all original 50k mile 94 CCLB 4x4 a few weeks ago.
They are out there.
Ford,Ford they’re the best, drive a mile and walk the rest!
Still the best looking trucks ever built.
If you offroad, you will need the longer brake lines. Picture driving through a deep ditch on a diagonal, the suspension will compress on one side and extend on the other far in excess of what it droops to on a jack. Believe it or not, the engineers that designed the system included the longer lines because they are needed.
Sweetest 90's F Series ever!
re the zinc blocks, since the truck came out of Commiefornia from one of the national parks, it could have been one of the parks near/around the ocean up north where salt spray comes in
A dry Magic Eraser gets scuff marks off really good!!
Someone is going to end up with a sweet truck!
compared to the heavy duty stuff y’all work in, this project is a cake walk for you guys!
bad idea heating the pitman arm, I cut them with a grinder on two sides and never had an issue, you on the other hand should plan on the steering box leak in the near future!
Thank you! I was almost screaming at my IPad when i saw that. Also I haven’t used a pickle fork in years. One swift hit from the side and most tie rods will pop right off
@@trickstothetrades1801 especialyy if you apply leverage with a crow bar and then give a good hard smack.
Dang.... that's one of my all time favorite trucks. Would love to have it.
it helps with rust on steel decks mostly but you can put them on cars.
Sharp truck Clint. Like what you guys have done with it. Wish i could afford to bid on it.
That's a sweet looking truck with that lift on it!!
You work on the big stuff but that pickup has 5.5 mm or sae equivalent fasteners on it like this build love them old ford trucks had a few over the years
Not a surprise on those tires
I am a on disability from a car accident when I was 18 in 1987. Not having much because I couldn’t have a regular job and floating around from part time job to part time job just to make rent and eventually had to be on disability I have always loved Ford trucks. I would absolutely love to have this unit!
Looking sharp. 20 years ago Id like to have it. Somebody will be extremely happy with it.
The engineering that went into the front end is hilarious! Working on Fords is always fun.
Zinc fitting because of all of the electronics in the surveillance pod.
that zinc anode will help with corrosion the zinc will be eaten before the frame rots out the same as on ships annd boats
That little tear drop thing a mo jig, I can’t tell you what it is. It’s a CIA secret. 😂😂
Moral of the story, the next time you get a "Spy" vehicle, do as Sgt. Scholz said, "I know nothing." That way you won't get into trouble and you can keep whatever you find.
Isn't that a sacrifice anode? Corrodes before the steel parts. it's a Marine application that saves the props and shafts,
man if I lived closer I would be all over this truck. I am looking for an rv puller
🤦♂️ The number 1 thing I can ALWAYS count on with Clint and Kevin watching these video......The impressive volume of "Thats what SHE said punzes!!" 😂😂😂 The natural phrases like "Let's go for 6 inches" , " She's tight there bud" , "Get it in there"......Mrs. C&C has trained Clint well!! 😅😅
I bought a short bed 96 3/4 ton with a460 5 speed new great looking truck
Absolutely beautiful truck!
imo thats better than a new truck lot less problems.. bidding on it
Thanks
Let’s see some army trucks getting work done
My favorite body style!
They are called zincs.they are used on boats under water to draw the electrolosis to them and not the other metals.They rot first !
Correct👍
Kevin’s Indian call was spot on I’ve been on couple of reservations classic Indian call while on run to war 👍😎🇺🇸NY
They are tracking devices to follow the truck wherever it goes. Take them out and put em on the fork lift. That will drive the NSA crazy.
Love the truck lift not so much Had a similar rig F250 3/4 tow package 460 you could put a ton in the bed and the rear bumper would only drop 2 inches loved that truck.
I like how clean their shop is unlike some of the other channels on you tube some of them look like Sanford and Son, plus their truck
I see I spy a nice white truck on the high y!!! Nice work thanks for sharing
Great truck and video! Keep up the fantastic work guys.
Clint love what you said. The two I mounted came out perfect, other wasn't mounted right. Love all u all Attitude toward one another no one getting upset. 😂
That truck looks sweet. That truck at the end looks mean.. Maybe you can get DP to get it... for Kleeman to drive... 🙂
I am not one to really like lifted trucks but this minimal lift really make the truck look better. Nice job! Great find!😊
Very nice Clint I always enjoy watching your videos 🇺🇸
Nice setup Clint!! Great job guys!!
Actually Ford trucks were notorious for breaking studs (reference U-haul) when I made wheel studs we had to start testing them by cooking them in Hydrochloric acid and checking them with a magnifying glass, if the “header” (machine that made wheel studs) was slightly out of line on those studs there would be a small line at the head that you would see and would later crack. As to Ford wheel nuts coming loose they still do. After having to replace studs and wheels twice I now check my F350 every year in early winter. For some reason after the temperature change they tend to get slightly loose. (And yes they were properly torqued
Exactly corrosion helping. Water with salt or other chemicals will ion rust the truck. Having zinc (used on boats) it 'melts' the zinc before rusting. All ships have them. You see machines rusted to death from road salt. This helps prevent that.
Hey Clint!! The truck looks sweet!! I like that you have a slight rake to it. Don't know why everyone wants them to sit level.
You guys great work on everything that y'all work on Sir
F250s in those years had negative arch springs in the front, I had a '94 with the TTB that had them, F350s had positive arch springs
Correct
Sharp truck should be a great one 👍🏻🇺🇸
I just modified the big three arm puller to do my arm I shaved one side down because I run cross over steering on my squarebody gotta fight it on there but makes taking it off easy I was using 2 56 inch leaf over loads tell i destroyed a sector shaft seal .
IT'S FINE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS PICKUP TRUCK. TO BE OLD AS IT IS
I wish my OBS looked that good! My is a little worse for wear! Good luck on the sale!
a little dab of anti seize on that spline wont hurt anything. and it make life easier next time. its a taper on the shaft so that it locks on tight
I enjoy watching you show. You guys work well together
That's them bfgs for you
Hey, you guys take it easy on my tools.
6:44 That is a Zinc anode. Usually seen on salt water boats. The idea with cars/trucks, is the Zinc anode is sacrificial, and any corrosion will first occur on the zinc. The jury is out on weather it works outside of a salt water submerged environment.
SkyJacker is right here in my home town of West Monroe.
Whatever goes into the shop , be it rusty / crusty. Will come out sweet and impressive.
Hearing that some of the gear that was sold with the truck wasn't supposed to be doesn't surprise me. A few years ago, the Army surplused out some transit cases for M16A2s to a guy. Here's the thing: nobody along the way thought to check to see if the cases were empty, which they were not. Yep, all of the cases were full of rifles - doh!.
hello c&c equipment its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Clinton Kevin and crew, great video beautiful truck! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Not many things look better when they've been lifted, but this truck does. It's really sweet, shame I don't live in the states, as I would be buying it. Nice job on the lift and I really like those tyres. 👍🤗
there should be a white dot on the sidewall,,line up with the valve stem.
That’s a sweet ride sir! Y’all take care and I’ll see you down the road…
not gonna lie, I'd love to have this, but, not for almost what I paid for my 2019 titan....good luck with the sale and nice job making her pretty again!
I am a newcomer that has been binge watching your videos. Really great videos, beautiful shop, and an outstanding cast of mechanics and information
Nice, clean, and simple... Perfect
Beautiful truck with a neat backstory!! Turned out beautiful
Great job.Always been a Ford fan but that front axle looks like it was definitely designed by a committee!
5/29/23; another great transformation..this time it's 'spook' gizmos that had to go, instead of worn track bushings or blown head gaskets. Star of your channel is your knowledge/confidence in analyzing dozer issues & your shop with sooo many fine tools. Also glad to see wife (2nd boss) strolling around checking on priorities & safety issues. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe & carry on!🔧⚙️👍👏😊
no didnt you know its THE boss. i got a sign for dad a few yrs back "im the boss of this house." "and i have the wife's permission to say so."
Great job!
Excellent Video.....Excellent Installation........As Always.....Thank You.......
Looks amazing Clinton. You and the guys do great work
That is one seriously clean truck.
Dang super nice truck!!
It is called a sacrificial anode. It is to protect against unlike metals if there is ever an electrical leak the anode will be the first area to corrode away. I guess because of what the truck was built for there would have been all sorts of stuff that could cause issues.
They are not just used for vessels in salt water but even fresh water
They are almost always used on vessels in a brackish/salt water environment and sometimes used on vessels in a only fresh water environment. That said every boat I have ever owned short of a rowboat or canoe
Great job on the lift kit for the Ford truck. You guys make it look easy even doing hard jobs. The teardrops are for rust control. They do a good job in preventing rust on the farme of the truck. They use them when the truck is used around salty environments like the ocean or were the roads are salted for ice control.
They put those zinc plates on trucks that were located close to saltwater. Didn't do much good... I live in the rust belt, still didn't do much, gotta oil the truck if you wanna save it from the red cancer.
Nice job. It definitely needed the 1" blocks in the back
Oh wow that’s a great looking truck, y’all find some of the best trucks and equipment !!!!
Thank you, always a pleasure watch your video, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Sacrificial anode for corrosion prevention electrolysis - dissimilar metals. They're used extensively on steel underground natural gas lines and marine applications
That 4" lift was quite an undertaking Clint but it does look good. Good assist in keeping Clint straight Kevin. 🛠🛠
Nice truck, the lift kits, springs and tires were a good choice. Someone will get a good truck. Keep smilin
Super Sweet!!! Someone will have a new truck. Great job, as always.
It Is for corrosion, mostly as you said, on boats , used in salt water.
OBS... its one of fords best loved body styles of time going back clear to the fifty six and then before that came so many well loved models that are in every car show. Thinking as for it being a spy truck today, it would garner way too much attention to remain as just another truck in the campground
Someone is gonna be very happy with that purchase. Nice looking truck for sure. You guys have put out another great video. Thanks for sharing ! That was great that you got to take Mrs. C&C out for lunch.
She's a Beauty!! ,,Coffees on!!;-)!!!! You guys are funny ,, lov it!!;-)!
clint it is a vary nice ruck she should bring a lot off green backs for sure great job and crew
It's a nice looking truck Clint, the lift kit and tires has really improved the look and stance of your "Spy Truck" the only thing on camera I wasn't fond of is the rear drop link location. 👋
Beautiful truck, nice job on the lift kit install. Good luck on the auction sir, thanks for the update.
