Was This Abandoned F100 Worth Saving?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- I had a buddy send me a deal on marketplace in my area, and it was just TOO CLOSE TO HOME to pass up! I found this 1966 Ford F100 pickup moments before being sent to the #SCRAPYARD and thought she was worth giving a second chance... She looks nice enough on the outside but watch and see what shes hiding inside!
Also stick around til the end for our "comedic theory" in the form of a #cinematicshortfilm of why this truck says "FREE" on the tailgate HAHA

You talked about Derek. You need to watch a few more of his videos. He has it for procedure of starting these engines, turning him over by hand. If possible, oil down the cylinders, save the rings starting off with the coil, testing the inside and outside into the points into the plug wires into the plugs. It's a very good procedur and often successful
Definitely 352 fe engine, can't go wrong with a short bed
@@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL yes you’re right!
agreed!!
That engine looks like an FE to me. Y Blocks had a weird exhaust crossover on the front driver’s side
You’re right it turned out to not be a y block. 352 I believe
Take the idle air screws out and blow through the ports then screw them all the way in and back out 2 full turns and work from there
Up to 64 they had solid axle front end then in 65 and up twin I beam and that grill is a 62.
You’re right that is what I learned on this one. Good eye!
I wish I only had 5 projects
@@ClassicCarRevivals 😂😂😂 how many??

@Tylan-pt2qf let’s get these suckers done!
That was pretty good lol I hope you had as much fun working on as I did watching it and the bonus clip I can see that happening ❤
I had a blast with it! Looking forward to the next video! Working on it this week!
Order of events after discovering it's full of water: Pull plugs and examine. If the cylinders appear to be salvageable, drain water out and try to determine where the water came from. Coolant? Intrusion? Some kid stuck a hose in it? Pull a valve cover. If it is in the same condition (terrible) as that other one, start looking for a different motor. The cost of a full rebuild is way more than a good used motor. If it looks salvageable, drain it, install new oil and filter. With plugs still removed crank it a while and let the oil pump pick up that fresh oil and circulate it. Perform a compression test while the plugs are out. Nothing will tell you more about the base condition of the motor than a compression test. Try to determine that there is oil pressure. If all appears well reinstall plugs. At this point you have learned a lot without spending much money. If your investigation to this point has determined the motor justifies working with it diagnose ignition.
Backfiring through the carburetor, if it isn't stuck valves, is retarded ignition timing or lean fuel air mixture due to not enough choke on a cold start. Start at the nipple on the vacuum advance pot, visually trace a line forward toward the base of the vacuum advance and continue that line around the curve of the distributor. That is the direction of rotation of the rotor. To advance the timing rotate the distributor toward the advance pot nipple.
For your initial radiator fill just use water. If there is a bad coolant leak there is no point in dumping expensive ethylene glycol out on the ground or into the cylinders through a crack or a blown head gasket. After you have determined that system in intact then drain and install coolant.
Your videoing and editing skills are way ahead of your mechanical skills. Easier to learn the mechanical stuff. Like you said, it's additive.
When I was a young guy I was hired to do a valve job or something on this old Ford V-8. After I got it together I couldn't get it to start. I worked all night on it and about dawn it suddenly hit me I was looking at the cylinder numbers from the front of the truck where I was working, not the rear of the engine. I changed the distributor wires to fit the correct cylinder numbers as seen from the rear of the engine and it fired right up.
Holy cow great comment thanks so much I’m screenshotting this for future review. I greatly appreciate it!
Haven’t been watching you long. But what watched and seen you are a humble and truthful guy.
@@davidbryant5875 thank you that’s a great compliment 🙏🏻
One bobcat that seems like five projects! Use it, replace hydraulic hoses. Use it, repair something else. If it isn't one thing, it's another!
😂😂😂 I can relate
You have to take the nut and bearing off to get the drum off
@@fireman2003sdfd I’ve been able to pop the drum cover off before but this one was STUCK. But that being said, your advice is what worked on finally getting it done 😄😅
Just a little tip for future vehicles that have sat for a long time , always fill the carb with some type of penetrative oil and B12 mix and let sit for 10 minutes before working the throttle linkage, the oil will soften the accelerator pump and lube the float and other moving parts inside the carb , it works pretty good about 50% of the time
Ok awesome thank you for the tip
Great instructional video. You have a real flair for storytelling. I especially liked the origin story at the end.
Thanks so much!
When the carburetor starts flaming just keep cranking the motor over and the flame will go out.
Hey what the H£LL are you doing????? Never ever put oil filter on with your oil wrench 🔧 you are too hand tighten it but before you put it on make sure you put oil on the rubber gasket and then hand tighten it up. I know you’re still learning and don’t stop learning. I have made many mistakes myself I was 13 teen when mom had me change a starter on her car and I didn’t know you were supposed to disconnect the battery. So keep on and ask questions and go to some garage sales and yard sales or estate sales and look for some or any kind of auto Repair books like Chiltons or any other type. If you have them you can always refer to them for answers. Just keep up the good work and the love of making them run.
Good luck getting that back off later on.
@@johngallagher5341 woops! Ok that’s good advice. I did the oil around the rim but didn’t know about the hand tightening. No wonder I kept denting the filters up. 😂 thanks for the help! Yes I’ll look for some reading info on these ol dogs too. If you come across any send me some, my P.O. Box is in my channel bio!
Why do you care he's still learning everyone makes mistakes so just sit back and keep scrolling
@@timothypriest4791 Because letting someone know what you know is learning !!!!! I have had people point me in the right direction so if I can help someone else I will and feel it’s my obligation to help them. So it does matter knowledge is something that needs to be passed along.
😂😂😂😂😂
Cool clip at the end!
Hey thanks!!
Haven’t been watching you long. But what watched and seen you are a humble and truthful guy. Not pretending to be something your not a great mechanic that a lot of channels do.
The tailgate was free to the previous owner.
I believe a Y block has one exhaust manifold that runs up over the front of the engine.
Yeah you’re probably right
Great video as always Man, the ending was hilarious and I can see that’s exactly what happened to that crazy old truck. I love that you’re willing to show your mistakes and actually learn from them. I love to see young man like you interested in these old trucks as well. And to answer your question…5 we have 5 projects on the go, me and my buddy Mark are both truck drivers with a touch of ADHD, always working on something, you get bored with one project you work on another one for a little while. Keep up the good work young man. 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Steve!! Haha we are a lot alike
I wonder how many other "free" trucks full of water are sitting in yards?
@@lanashill7949 I think about that a lot. I bet there’s some amazing cars in our home towns just sitting forgotten for years in somebody’s barn or field. I want to find them all haha
I have had a lot of experience with those trucks and that’s a 352 FE not a 292 Y block.
You’re right! I was mistaken but figured it out later 😆
Yal did really good with the little movie clip lol wow.
😂😂😂 just goofing off
That would be an FE of some flavor or another. The Y-block v8's are easily identified by the way that the valve covers are held down, they have 2 studs one on each end, along the centerline of the valve cover to clamp it down aswell as the exhaust that crosses over the front of the engine
Ah okay that’s how you tell! Thanks! I think it may be a 352
That was a good one bro😂 love it!
Thanks man!!
Hi. The beauty of these old Ford trucks are the engine bays are huge enough to drop a lot of types of Ford V8s in them. These engines are every where and pretty inexpensive so save some cash and change over to something better. Good luck.
I do love the amount of room in there. I won’t build this one , just enough to get her moving and I’ll sell her to someone who wants to make it their own.
Great episode, the video quality, edits, humor….oh, and the mechanic-ing are better each episode. Keep it up! Tell Linny STEVE says, “Hey.”
Haha thank you brother! Can’t wait for your next episode. (Whenever that is… 👀) 😂 I’ll tell her!
@@okspeedshopsoon, hopefully Tuesday, was out of the country for more than half of August. No more international trips this year.
Those folks needed you more than we needed you last week. Welcome back.
LOL… Great video… Especially the end…
@@pastorghawk haha awesome thanks for watching!
39:52 Instead of the large slip joints on the starter solenoid one of the small terminals should have a s on it. Take your lone wolf and connect to b+ and the s terminal. She should crank. The other terminal should have an I on it. This is to provide 12 volts to the coil when cranking. Once running it will use power from the key switch though a resistor to keep from cooking the coil. (Ya i commented before you figured it out)
Those back fires sound more like a lean backfire. I am sure the guts of that carb are really gummed up.
Haha I was waiting for somebody to catch this. Good eye. Yep i learned something about the starter solenoid on a ford 😂 i can tell you’ve seen a few.
And I bet you’re right. Did finally pull it apart and clean it up which helped.
Thanks for commenting! Stick around!!
There's a couple places you can find the VIN. On the drivers door, and on topside of right frame rail under hood. And those were probably lean pops. When the carb is on fire like that, keep cranking it'll go out. Carb definitely needs rebuilt. Very cool truck. Don't give up on her! :D
@@metalmangle thank you!!
The end is hilarious. That's exactly what happened with that truck!
😂😂😂 has to be
Great episode brother
Thanks for watching!
Cant beat an old Ford great channel
Thanks for watching!
Should I asked him for that ranchero 😂
Could probably be bought! Pretty sweet
Nice truck ! Great job on the short at the end . Thanks for another , Brother !
You bet pal! Thanks for watching
Bro! This is so awesome. I'd be binge watching these episodes on Netflix..
Thanks Gavin, appreciate the support!
Loved the ending. Very creative? Or your wife was that jealous?
@@jfinnall 😂 just a fun theory as to why the truck said free on the back and was filled with water
youre really finding your way on this channel brother.. every video is better than the last..
Thanks man, trying! Having fun in the process. Thanks for watching and supporting as always. This one took me way too long to get out but finally made it!
What engine is actually in it
Excited about this one! Gotta tune in tomorrow it’s bed time !
Sounds good dude!!
A new video from my newest favorite channel means I'm happier than a short legged fat pony in a field of high oats!
😂😂😂😂😂 you never disappoint
With that much water in it, That would make a perfect candidate to put in used motor oil that you've changed out of another vehicle that was clean, but not really usable for anything else, that way, you don't waste any money with new oil. And I hope it's not a 65 model if it is, it's a one only ear model for brakes. And it's usually a hundred dollars per wheel cylinder....
Yeah I wish I had some old oil but just spring for the new stuff. Fortunately it worked out. And also it’s a 66 so I dodged that bullet!! 😅
I’d say, with all those fires, I’d probably replace that carb and not spend any time and money trying to rebuild it. It’s surely heat warped by now! But, who cares about the “eternal flame” carb? That engine came back like a boss!
@@brianandrews7099 😂😂😂 this ol dog tried to get me with Fire and Water.
Classic mate, love it!!
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Bumpers and grill look incredibly straight
You put a hat on 😂. We couldn't even tell until you did the close up🤣. Even then you could of went and took a shower and combed your hair in the shower and no one would known 😊
😂😂😂 flame thrower protection. Available in the merch store haha
@@okspeedshop 🤣🤣😂🤣
Keep up the good work, man...I was very impressed ..
Thank you!!
That motor would be great for my 07 Ford Mustang to replace the 4.0
@@cwbintn8949 that would add some character wouldn’t it haha
EXCELLENT CONDITION
Honestly other than a little rust in the bed floor she is solid!!
Seconds before you changed the plugs..I feel you had the timing right. Sticky valves for sure
You’re probably right. I’m just learning but watching it back those little hiccups as it quit spinning weren’t really backfires I don’t think. Oh well haha
@@okspeedshop love your channel. Keep it up 💪
Thanks bud
You might want to use the eyes and look around the engine bay before the field romps...
You missed the gas geyser pumping fuel back down the carb throat which caused the fire. "Excitement" can also lead to widows and fatherless children.
Thank you for your concern I’ll be more careful
The grille could've been swapped at some point
Yes I believe it was
I believe those drums are ones where the wheel studs are part of the drums, and you have to take the axle nut off to get the drums off for the front if I remember correctly
@@Z3CHYD after all that I did trying to get them off I believe it. It must’ve been different than the others because I was able to get them loose but this one was contrary. Finally just took the whole hub off like you said.
The ends hilarious. Makes sense too
Beautiful little dog 🐕 wants to come rescue some cars & trucks with you 😂👍🏻
@@ste1872 thank you yes he gets mad when he can’t be a part of it all haha
I learned something about Ford trucks today , didnt realize that they didnt have twin I beam front suspension till 1965 . That truck would be easy to lower with that straight axle
Turns out it is a 66 and does have the twin ibeam 😵 I’m learning too
5 projects. Doesn’t everyone.
Only the financially smart
@@okspeedshop hahahaha
If it was a 62, it would be a unibody.
Wow you did an amazing job. One tip to see if our engine is a y block is to look at the top of the valve covers there are going to be two bolts that hold it on rather then the side of the valve cover
Ah good to know. I can tell you’re a ford fan
@okspeedshop haha ya. Don't worry we are planning on getting a 69 c10 in December. We are planning on trading it for the spot light starliner. I think the c10 has a 350 with a cam and straight pipe 4 barrel 3 on the floor.
Ohhh yeah now you’re speaking my language!
Enjoy your videos keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching!
Timing chains are a issue with a fe
Never thought about that
Aint a 292. 63 was the last year for those. And they have an exhaust crossover in FRONT Of the motor, up high. That there is an FE, most likely a 352.
Yes you’re right. Learned something!
Good stuff you got it started the wiring looked a total mess as well
Haha dude… I was like whaaaaat is this
Yeah that's definitely a 352 or 360 390 something like that is that block my girls would be a 352 since it's a 1966 big block Ford just about all look the same after 1966 so there's really no way to find the cubic inches but without getting a serial number off the engine and looking it up on the internet but educated guess it's a 352
Yep I think you’re right I think it’s a 352
Just Googled Pics of 62 Ford truck engines , valve covers are rounded on top and have a 2 bolt pattern coming straight out of the top , so definitely a later model engine , run the numbers and see what you actually have and then Google how to time it
Ok I will thanks!
That's not a 62 got a 62 grill in it right above the grill should be ford emblems that bed was not offered in 62 would be round tail lights . The engine would be a 292 y block up to 64
@MP-io7yj good eye! I think it’s a 66
@MP-io7yj with a 62 clip
I think you should bring out a wet or damp rag especially when dealing with petrol & sparks etc
Not a bad idea at all!!
VIN located on frame over by the alternator
That’s what I thought too but can’t find it
My name is Jason and I am an addict, i have to many project trucks my wife says.
Hi Jason. Welcome to automoholics anonymous 😂
Im not a Ford expert by any means , but the valve covers on that engine look like later model engines in the 390 family , i could be wrong as i stated not a Ford expert.
Me either obviously haha I thought it was the y block but then I think it turned out to be the 352 but could be later I wouldn’t know haha
I guess putting the gas thank there was to help stop smoking
Love the short film at the end. 😂 08 thats when i was born
😂😂 just a young buck
its problably the fuel pump is no good if you see fire from the carburetor, smell the oil to see if it smells like gasoline if it does then it is the fuel pump
Ok I’ll try that thank you
Vin # under cab on frame or on top of frame on passenger side below battery tray area
I haven’t looked under cab yet but I swear it’s not on passenger frame rail. I wire brushed and nothing
I’ve got 3 project vehicles and 3 I drive plus 3 motorcycles and in the process of getting my shop finish
@@Ziptiesandbalumwire sounds like you e got your hands full haha
@@okspeedshop yea I’m thinking about starting doing some RUclips videos but ideas a flowing yet

Donate some to the channel haha
352 fe engine i think they phased out the Y block in 1962 352 fe engine would have been an option
Yes you’re exactly right I was mistaken
If i had a dollar for every 3 on the tree ford ive seen that instead of rebuilding the steering column and repairing the broken collar.... They just cut a hole in the floorboard and attempt to put in an aftermarket shifter..... Id have a lot of dollars! 🤦♀️
😂 here’s a dollar.
@@okspeedshop yayyy!!!! 😐
That's a 352 fe beast of a engine
Gotta get the brakes working right so I can really test her out haha
@@okspeedshop nice man keep that old beast on the road
Doing by best!!
@okspeedshop your doing a damn good job keep it up
1962 they didn’t have a 352 yet. Maybe someone put a different grill in it
Might be a vin plate near the brake booster
Should play when a woman's fed up by r Kelly with your theory

@@war7334 more than a steak dinner but less than the whole cow 😂
