I may have found the ultimate off-road rig, this 1972 Ford F100 turned 3/4 ton Dodge is a MONSTER of a truck! Will it off-road again after not being used for many years? Stick around to find out!

A trick I learned was to fill the diff with gear lube then jack one side up lube the axle rearing then jack the outher side lube that axle bearing then level it re check and done no dry axle bearings. Real important of full floating rear ends.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

Nice!

[@christimm394]

When you cleaned the gears prior to welding you were using a can of cleaner, don’t use chlorinated brake cleaner on something that you would need to weld on, the heat from welding will turn the brake cleaner into phosgene gas and will kill you if inhaled.. please be careful

Thank you for all the old car restoration content. I wish my father was still around to watch your program he left me his 92 dakota that he put a 360 with RT heads and other modifications. He was a mechanic for 60-plus years. THANKS, NORTHERN TOOLS

"Thanks Northern Tool", this jack sure will come in handy in a variety of situations.

Dylan, you don't know how close you came to owning a rustfree 1968 Chrysler Newport convertible. I was living in Sierra Vista AZ. I had no way of getting it to you. Tom in Idaho

[@RustBeatersDerelicts]

Thank you Northern tool. Hard to beat (or kill) an old Ford truck, and when you add in the Dana axles front and back with 4.88 gears, it may not go fast with a 300-six, but it will keep going.

[@jrussellcase]

"Ugly And Stumpy". Sounds like a 90s cartoon on the old WB network.
Thank you Northern Tool. 👍

[@user-uv4gy3zv4k]

Dylan, we enjoy your confidence, industriousness & most importantly your bright smile & positive attitude. You and Briar did great effort on FOMOCO p/u truck to make it effective salvage/rescue vehicle for "stumpy". Keep doing what you enjoy and your success will continue. "Attitude is ALTITUDE". OLD RETIRED USN Submariner in Boise, Idaho. Oh yes, thank you NORTHERN TOOL!

[@MyGarage-uu5ld]

Thank you norther tool. I need this jack, I'm teaching my daughter how to work on older cars and she absolutely loves it. She has her own 1984 Dodge D150... Awesome video.

[@douglasfehler553]

I have seen 4 barrel intakes,home made side draft carbintake and a efi manifold adapted to run a 4 barrel carb .

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

That would be awesome. It runs great it just needs a little fine tuning. A good carb rebuild would go a long way.

[@anthonyg241]

Thank you northern tool!
And watching you drive the Toyota into the woods, then the wrecker, I got the impression that when you were little you probably broke your toys, a lot. Then frankensteined them back together.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

Honestly I really liked taking care of stuff. But I love putting stuff to the test.

[@tomwebb766]

Thanks Northern Tool. Scary to think that you could get lost on your own property. Great truck . Over the years ,have had about 10 or so 67 - 72 Ford trucks. Thanks for the video!

[@MysteryMachineGT]

Thanks Northern Tool. That jack would be awesome in my gravel driveway. I had an 86 Toyota. Loved that trunk. Learned how to work on vehicles with it. Drove it until it pretty much quit moving.

I also loved the video Dylan. As proven by Stumpy and Ugly, Ford and Toyata trucks are the best and will run forever as well as "get you out of the woods".

Thank you, Northern Tool.
I had a 1977 Ford F 250 Camper Special. I had to weld all new floors and stuff.
I went through some woods like yours, it would run over pretty good-sized trees up to 3 to 5 inches. lol, it was a blast. 4 low baby.''✌

My grandpa had a 73 f100 for most all of my childhood, love those old fords

[@todddenio3200]

Even when they are a cobbled together conglomeration of mismatched parts those old Fords are nearly indestructible. Thanks Northern Tool for providing tools and supplies us regular people can actually afford. I've been looking at various jacks for my vehicles and seeing this one has helped me narrow it down. I just need to know the approximate weight before making a purchase as I have severe back trouble which is why I need to get a light weight hydraulic jack

[@jeremysampson6929]

[@robbyoliver4953]

I had a 1971 Ford f100 2 wheel drive with a limited slip rear that I changed from a automatic to a 4speed truck trans with a 302. I drove for years. It was a really good truck.

[@randomthings3334]

I did all the steps, Thanks Northern Tool. And Thank you Dylan for another entertaining video, love that Ford now you can have a side job as a off road wrecker.

[@ericouellette5293]

I had a 82 f150 was my mud/trail truck. Had a 300 six, 4 speed, 4.11 gears, lockers front and rear, 3 inch lift and 35s. She was a beast. I was the only one never to get stuck when me and my friends went out mudding. I feel ya with no power steering. Dad had a 75 f100 that didn't have power steering. Was fun plowing with it. Only option that truck had was am radio. The t-case didn't have 4 low only had 2 high and 4 high.
