Kiwi, you treat your customers cars with the kind of care a fella would give if he was putting his actual Granny behind the wheel. You care about making sure they're safe as they can be and that extra bit of concern shows in your videos. It's a nice thing to see.
Thanks man, I try to do it right !
💯 agree with Jim. It's EPIC to see the ethics, morals, and positive motivation(clients' best interest) that you apply overall. Whether it's great news or bad, the client gets reality. Straight up reality. We THANK YOU for such an approach.
I wouldn’t send my granny out with a single chamber master brake cylinder 😮.
I like a 64 as well what a great story
Yeah it's a nice little truck. Looks good. Good shape. That's all you need. Nothing fancy 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Granny has Dodge hubcaps on her Ford oh the humanity!!! LMAO
lol could be a lot worse.... 28" Donk wheels🤮
Great repair, that could have destroyed someone's day, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Granny must be one cool lady.
Kiwi, you are one of the good guys in the ever patchy world of cars. I send a mana wave your way.
Really nice truck! Could use a better battery hold down for safety though. 🙂👍
@@meowerstationone3793 yes it does really. Maybe on the next visit 😎👍
I'm glad you got Granny's pickup properly sorted, Kiwi, and I understand why she digs it, because the '56 Buick on the rack in the background made me drool and my heartbeat spiked. I'm 79 now and I've owned a lot of cars through the years, but the one car I'd give my left nut to have back is the gunmetal gray, black and white tri-tone '56 with a red and black interior that I drove through high school and beyond. Alas, I'm not a rich man, so I've reluctantly abandoned all hope of ever owning another, but I can't give up the memories and love for the car. Rock on.
Granny's gotta hotrod 🔥
😎👍😁
Nice work as always Kiwi. Love the truck with the mighty 223
Thanks for the video Kiwi,it reaffirms that the time period I came from really did exist.
A good dose of nostalgia never hurt anyone.
Nice old truck.
Not mentioned, but noticeable in the background are the bungees keeping the battery in place. And yep, I would do that 👍, at least until I could source a proper hold-down, or given the age, have a shop source/make a new battery tray & tie down. Still, it's s a very nice truck, and I hope she has many more years of fun with it.
Like the truck
Cool old truck nice to see!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
straight 6 fords will be running as long as people want them to. most reliable mass produced US engine ever
Nice catch on the wiring.
That is a sweet gas can!
Yes it is!!😁😎👍
Grannys Truck has so much personality...Its beautiful...Reckon that wiring situation must have been a temporary repair to get her home and became a permanent solution...KIWI to the rescue...
Quite possibly! It's gone now!!👍
Absolute doll of an old truck still working for a living.
Yes indeed!!
Nice original old girl.
My dad had a 64 camper special with a 292 y block I Thank that was the last year for the Y I know someone with a 65 with 352.
A lot of those old cars/trucks had small alternators only 40amps.
In time those fail and the get upgraded to a more modern 100amp alternator. A smart move.
But those old vehicles also had dubious wiring, only just able to take the amps of the standard electrical equipment. The wiring was basically undersized from new.
That little wire from the alternator output probably only just did the job when new but now with years of corrosion of connections and the extra resistance that causes and a few new parts eg: the new alternator, the wiring is just not up to the job.
Great work putting in extra thick power cables!
Very Nice, I'd own one like it, or like your old Dodge you sold to Dr. Art.
Yeah I'm second guessing that sale but he's done so much work on it just seemed the right thing to do. 😎
You should interview her sometime
We all wanted a test drive kiwi...lol.. great truck
Don't have a cameraman today😬
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 no worries I was just joking
@@gulfy09 I know bud, the test drives do seem popular though.
I used the 1 wire 100 amp on my 66 F 100 Kiwi. Did the upgrade while installing the American Auto wire classic up grade harness kit. Great kit, it worked fantastic! If truck has a single cluster speedo with all the gauges included here's some helpful info for you if you ever need a new gas gauge to install. The F 100 with that style I searched high and low for gas gauge. No one had it on their books when I was looking. What I found is that the Bronco of that era with the single cluster has the exact same setup. Gas gauge replacement is listed under the Bronco only. Unless it's been updated the last 8 years or so. All the big name suppliers didn't have it when I was looking.
Great info, thanks for that!!
That lady knows how to live! Nice.
Yeah she does!!
Wow! And the engine runs so quiet!
Ticks over nice!!
Nice old truck! Get those electrical bugs worked out and it will last another 60 years. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁
I reckon you're right!!😎👍
Love that old truck 🛻 !!
Especially 3 on the tree &
An inline 6 cylinder
I giggled at the fuel can 😂
😁😎👍
FYI, 6 gauge wire has a resistance of .004 ohms per foot. So at a stiff charging rate of 50 amps, with about 6 feet of wire, the voltage drop would be 6x.004x50=1.2 volts, and there'd be 50x50x6x.004 =60 watts of heat generated in the wire. 240watts at 100 amps. So, good call upgrading from 10 gauge! :)
Hmm, interesting! That's pretty warm.....
Thats either the 223, or the 262 cid 6 cyl. Either one, good little engines. I like the truck, wouldn't change a thing. 😊 Like her sense of humor too!
One wire alternator time, aw you just said🤭dont let the old girl burn..🫣
Keep on trucking in the free world 🎼🇺🇸😎
Hell yeah!!
That battery is a fire waiting to happen without proper hold downs.
Yes that does need attention !
Especially with stuff even up into late 70’s it’s still the same old school principal which all of that stuff. Definitely worth digging into any red flags ! Might not be the 20 minute job you thought ( like that EVER HAPPENS 😂) but dig into it and figure it out and fix it right ! Take care 🍺🍺
Ain't that the truth👍😎😁
Nice to see you proud of your work... as you should be
Your customers keep you busy and them satisfied
It's a win win
No lap top trash there . When vehicle were easy to work on . When you could see your engine 😮.
Hey Kiwi, nice job. Take a peek at that fuel filter set up that looks like feeding the fuel pump. Your shots weren't focused on it, but looked alittle Hokie from this angle.
Keep up the good work. You Da Man!!!👍
She hasn't picked up so I'll take a look😎👍
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. I am a believer that if anyone wants a classic make road worthy safe to drive and maintain it at a high level. Make it pretty a little at a time or let it be as is ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍.
Solid advice !!!
Cool ute. Glad she got it. A "bloke" wouldn't have kept the 6 and 3 on the tree.
Didn't know about tight bends and hot spots, but compared to water flow, it makes sense, thanks, Cobber.
Enjoy your day
Very cool truck.
It’s always great to see cars and trucks being driven and enjoyed.
🤘🏼⛽️
Cheers Nick. 🥃
Well done Kiwi, another excellent job. Cheers😊
Is she single? 😊😂
Cool old truck 👍
I think she is 😎👍
Hi Chris.
Hey bud.
Great old truck.
Hey Kiwi,
Tim here... 1 wire alt's fix ALL the other garbage... WHY they somehow put a Chrysler alt on, i dunno... nice to Granny fixed.....i LOVE what u do brother. Just love it, the chanel, ALL of it!!!....go on Granny, ur good to go!!.....PEACE To you sir!!😊
✌️
Very cool old Ford Truck Kiwi, GO GRANNY GO.. 🙂
lol. Yea the song fits !
Hello.Just watching a DeHavilland mosquito doc, and Kiwi is here.
Hey bud😎
I learned to drive in a 64 with a 292 and 4 on the floor, no brakes.
Having No brakes won"t stop a ford.
Use to have a 1965 Ford F-100 shot bed step side that looked just like that truck, and had the 240 inline 6 with 3 speed on the tree. Thing had a top speed of 36 mph, and wouldn’t pull it’s self in 3rd gear. Those trucks, that had an inline 6 in them had a spacer that went behind the alternator that the bolt passed through to stop the flex. If that spacer was not there, it would shuck that fan belt after chewing it to pieces.
Man that thing sounds like a sewing machine
That is a neat old pickup, and now it's fixed right. Something like this just shows you how much differently
things can be done from one shop to another. It makes a big difference when you take your rig to a real mechanic,
and someone that truly cares about their customers...
I'm not a big fan of all of the decals, actually I'm not a fan of decals period, but we all like different things and it isn't my rig.
I do like the lettering on the fuel can though LOL...
👍🇦🇺.
Cheers mate!!
I love her style.
😎👍😁
A proper battery hold down could prevent a fire as well. Nice truck. My grandpa had one with pto hydraulic dump on the box.
What an awesome rig. I love it.
It's pretty cool!!
And YEEEAAAHHH noice job on the wiring. I've rewired many old cars, much safer after.
Wondering what shorted it? You hit a ground and that singe starts. Old classic keeps on trucking. She'll be happy, you keep her running! Nice!
Love it!
Me too!!
Speaking of electrical wires and fires , reminds me of a time years ago, when, for some reason the battery cable on my Monaro all of a sudden started to get very hot and the plastic casing was melting off it right before my very eyes, I knew Id better do something and fast , so I grabbed the hot cable and yanked on it really hard , hard enough to pull it out of the battery clamp , and disaster was averted , I had slightly burned fingers , and a fast beating heart. Ive often thought that pulling a cable out of its clamp must take a fair bit of force , its amazing what you can do with enough adrenalin. I cant remember why that happened but I hadn't owned the car very long , and there were some dodgy things to fix up on it. By the way , how did you get on with that rough running fire truck?
You did a nice Wee job on that
Kiwi did you stop doing the flipper Mustangs I know they are a lot of work. You do nice metal work. Nice video Kiwi
I've 6 mustangs here right now😳.
I'd like to meet the Granny that owns and drives that..
😉😉😎😁
Loved this old truck, any news on whether that old fire truck is coming to the shop, Kiwi?
I haven't heard back on the fire truck, I'm wondering if they got someone else to work on it 🤷🏼♂️
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 I was looking forward to that although there is always plenty of good quality content on your channel.
@@Smurphenstein me too!
The Mopar alternator made it faster!
Well........ I'm not so sure😎😁👍
Barge! 😂😂😂
lol😁😎👍
Solid repair for a Good Pickup...I'm not sure on the cubic inch(223?)on that straightline 6 but l think it's a solid lifter engine with 'silent lash' rockers?
those early 90s dodge truck caps look bad, that truck needs ford hub caps or maybe 60s galaxy caps like was common in the 70s n 80s.that or just plain steel ford wheels without the cap
GO GRANNY,,, bloody oarsum,,,
😁👍😎
Niiiiice Kiwi
Have you actually got any Toyota Corolla customers…?
Or is it all the fun stuff..?
I wouldn't have one in the shop. Well maybe an old AE86 😎👍
I see a single pot master cylinder,that needs upgraded fosho
Wait, what, I feel like I didn't get my money's worth on this video....
No test ride or as I like to call it, "Ride along with Uncle Kiwi"
;)
I was going to mention the battery hold down but lots of folks already did so no need for me to. I guess since I wrote this I did bring it up...
That's a truck. Straight 6, manual on the column. Not worn out, just broken in. I wouldn't want a modern truck if you gave it to me. But something like this. Yeah, that's what I want. I'd prefer a GM. But I wouldn't pass up a truck like this
Whenever it's here I get 4-6 people calling in wanting to know if it's for sale. The people have spoken 😎👍😁
I heard "she got it sirened"..? Why would anyone need a siren on that truck? Why would anyone use siren as a verb?
Oh. SIGN-WRITTEN. 😂 That's not term I've heard before in any other dialect of English. A true Kiwi Custom (at least to me). 😆
edit: Oh... Looks like you need to sell her a new master cylinder too... 😳
Sign-writing is the writing of signs... Who else would do the painted lettering on shopfronts etc but a sign-writer?
@@johnbriggs3916 I would normally hear the business called "sign shop", the person who does it as a "sign maker" (or maybe "graphic artist" these days) and the artwork on the door as a "stencil" or "logo".
When I looked it up, sign writing referred to actual written versions of sign language for the deaf. 🤷♂
Anyhow... It's something I'd never heard before. Perhaps it's regional?
So I talk a little funny🤷🏼♂️. 😎👍
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Not funny, just different. It seems I may have given off the wrong impression... 😅
Sound advice Kiwi. Silly question, but, If the truck says Granny’s Garage why didn’t Granny fix it?
😁😂🤣👍
So all them old trucks were wired to the starter solenoid the all the accessories fed off that same pole on the solenoid?
Yes sir!! It was a Ford thing. Mustangs, falcons etc
Nice job, Kiwi! Did you ground the one wire alternator to the chassis?
To the engine block👍😎
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Thank you, sir!
Would it make sense to add a fuse to that circuit?
It's not a bad idea to install a Mega fuse but not an absolute necessity.
People need to think of wires like a water hose. Especially power wires. If you bend or kink them, it disrupts the flow. Wires and hoses should be as short and straight as possible.
That's a good analogy 👍😁😎
Doesn't she use a air filter😂😂😂
It seems as though Dr. Hack-n-wack had a go at this. Why would anyone go with that altenator??? What the heck is up with that ridiculous wiring job??????????.... This poor baby has been mistreated plain and simply put.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
