You should do an "update" video ... letting all of us know what became of each of your revivals, still owned, sold for a profit, drove into a ditch etc. Maybe a shop/ project update video once in a while too. Easy content to create and definitely something your loyal viewers would be interested in seeing!
This person speaks truth. That's one you can bang out in advance and have on deck for busy weeks.
I 8th this notion.......
He and mook already have.
@@8106kagksmj I saw the shop build series… but i haven’t seen anything where they talk about the projects that they have done in the past and where they went… just saying a regular update would be something I’d be interested to see.
I agree
Kevin; split a tennis ball and put it on the hood latch!
did it for years.
saved my mellon.

This truck looks like a good candidate for a shade tree and basic engine rebuild series for people who want to learn to do it and on a budget
"Supposedly, it was running at some point..." Well, yea.... they kinda all are.....
Hah! I see what you did there! :P
"running when parked" means "I didn't use a tractor to get it in that spot".
@@albertgaspar627 im pretty sure this thing didn't get their on itself because it's so wornout
@@wildman510 and that's the point..."running" and "safe to actually drive home from where you bought it" tends to be a big difference...but i still see buyers hoping to save a buck driving dirty.

Can't yall just like the joke? Sheesh
Yup, shoulda called Derek !
Neat truck, and deserving of a nice engine and trans. One thing’s for sure, that was the most unique burnout in the history of mankind. You had forward rotation AND backward rotation at the same time at one point, sounds never before heard during a burnout, I mean… one of a kind. Must be a record of some sort!
I had that Herb Alpert vinyl record when I was a kid. It's a great one!
Just add umbrella dranks. Instant party.
we're havin' a party!
I still have a box set and listen often
Push on the dial face of the radio for the 8-track
I was gonna say the same thing
the tapes may also need the foam behind the tape to be replaced or otherwise they’ll be muffled
Why do i smell bengay in this thread all of a sudden? Ohh yeah because I rubbed it in my knees. we are letting our age show here, only reason I never said anything about the 8 tracks lol
didnt he say he never heard of tijuana brass? wth?
@@steel7302 I think he said Herb Alpert. Same thing.
I definitely feel like a 390 engine build video needs to happen. I don't believe I've ever seen a full engine build on this channel. I have built a few FE engines and have some tips and tricks and oiling mods I'd love to share, and I'd love to come over there and share em😁
yes I have a 76 f150 4x4 ranger xlt with a 390 and a 4 speed manual,
Oh yeah you just gotta love that grill the way it is ! Kinda got the PISSED OFF LOOK going !!!
She just straight up said “its nasty “ lol

Just started to watch a new Bruce Willis movie and at the 8th minute a junkie sniffing drugs in the same car. And I watched this episode today.
I know it is not exactly the same, but still made my day.
Kevin.... I could barely hold my shit together watching that rim spin inside the tire during the attempted burn out.. You won the internet tonight.. hah!
At least something was in it for the burnout!
As I've told @Revstoration , get yourself a pool noodle and cut a piece off and cram it over that hood latch to protect the noggin :)
If you're using a brake assembly pin to pop your distributor cap off when you supposedly have an awesome tool kit then I doubt the pool noodle will ever get used, but you're right that's a great idea and someone prepared would learn from their mistakes in the future lol.
Borrow one of Mook's Emory boards (for when she does or doesn't do her nails) and just clean both sides of points at same time. You only need to steal one and it will last for years.
i think shes so PRETTY!
she doesnt seem that girlie, shes more tommy

My autistic non verbal 6 year old, was giggling and watching you ver intently, as you kept zapping yourself. I don’t always know what he sees or understands. But he sure does like you guys. Nice to bond over something so simple. Thanks 😊
There is just something about having the original engine and everything else that came with the truck more meaningful, too me personally.
but It's your truck and it sure is pretty!

I absolutely love these Revival videos and get so much out of it as a newbie I really hope you never get bored of doing them! There's so many of us discovering classic cars for the first time in our lives and we use these videos not just for entertainment, but for Education. Thank you so much!
It's because of you that I've kept my lawn mower alive. I just keep learning stuff. Thanks man.
Really liked this revival. That truck brings back memories of my childhood. I loved the pushrod bending. No that’s class right there👍👍
Herb Alpert is DEFINITELY worth a listen.
My sons and I have 86 Ford Bronco with Ford straight-six engine that we slowing getting it back on the road.
Awesome. I have a 65 ford galaxie I swapped a 4.9l 6 from an 89 f150 into. Got it running last week. Good luck
I'm 69 years old and retired. I don't need to learn anything, I just need to watch and be entertained.
I was really hoping for some way-lawn Jennings 8 tracks in there!
Haha I was looking for that too
Thanks for putting out an episode every week. You and Mook are the only ones I have the alarm bell turned on for. Helping me get my fix! :)
I do agree though. She ain’t pushing oil to the top. More than likely the push rods are plugged. Won’t run for long like that😢
Since when does an FE oil through the pushrods? Because they dont. Never Have.
@@ShawnWDunn Is this like a thing with the FEs?
I mean yes? I guess? Not any more than any other older American V8, that's been sitting around with potentially stuck valves, and rust under the valve covers, in my experience. I don't think it's any more likely to happen on an FE, than it is on a Windsor, or 385-Series, or even a SBC/BBC, if they've been sitting for a while.
Because of the borked engine and the numerous closed head injuries, I christen this truck Bam-Bam
Either that or Christine since it's trying to injure him.
The patina and lack of rust holes looks beautiful on this truck. The blue and white two tone is just icing on the cake
This might tie with the ‘68 Ford F-250 in terms of carburetor grimy-ness. Also, that open headers really put me in mind of the ol' F250
Yeah, I wanna see a F U L L restore on this now
Buy it
I have a soft spot for these trucks. I remember riding in the middle with the underdash A/C just threatening to scalp my shins. Dad taught me to drive his 1967 long bed F100 Ranger with a 352 and a three speed column shift. I will never forget the looong reach to squish the pedals, the giant steering wheel, and the feeling that I was in zero control until that clutch pedal came off the floor and we were on our way. Give your kids memories like that.
Kids..... Push your finger into the radio dial, some of 'em flipped up and that's where you'd put the 8 track. A Ranger in that shape?! Excellent find!
That is a lovely truck. Sounds like a new motor or rebuild in its future. With A/C it’d make a great daily driver!
Hey Mook... my wife and I have spent some time volunteering at a shelter (Animal Rescue Foundation... ARF... in Mobile, AL), and we currently have 5 adopted dogs! You gotta love volunteers!
Very cool old truck. My first truck when I was 16 was a 1969 F100 Ranger. It had a 390. A tired 390. I loved that truck. I rebuilt the engine and transmission. It was a great old truck. I still miss it.
"This truck hates me". Wow... I'm glad it's not just me working on vehicles that seem to enjoy hurting me... Love it.. 😊
Not first, but I love old Ford trucks.
This is the earliest I've ever gotten here. Hi everyone watching with me! Lol
Found the channel about a week back...having fun binge watching while on my vacation
Hi 👋🏻
Can't believe you put that push rod back in that! What a shame
you should use the audio of that old truck starting up in your junkyard digs opening segment bumper. it is perfect to go with the theme of your channel. i really enjoy your revivals. Most of the vehicles you revive were your typical and plentiful units me and my friends owned and tinkered with in the early early 80s when i was a high school kid.
This truck brings back some memories. My 2nd truck ( 1st one I ever drove ) was a 1972 F100 Ranger that was the same color scheme of that truck. I learned a whole lot about working on FE's while I owned that truck. Mine was a 390. I was 16/17 when I owned it.
It looks like your truck has a carb off a 70 or 71. And three wheels off a late 80's-early 90's F150. And if it was an engine that you actually cared about it's not a bad idea, if you have the rocker shaft off. Pull the push rods and spray some brake cleaner thru them all to make sure they aren't plugged up. And then pour some ATF over the rocker shafts and valves before you throw the cover back on.
Can't wait to see the swap. But it is kind of sad. A good FE has a great exhaust sound. At least you aren't throwing a ls in it!!

just got finished watching junkyards mook efi revival went back to the home page and saw this.Cant wait.
Kevin that blue truck has potential I have faith that you can get it running great.
That is the best looking 68 interior I’ve ever seen 2:39
Thats a nice looking truck, and bed aside pretty solid. I like the rims that were on the drivers side and the flat rear, hope you have a full set of those. With a decent engine (or overhaul) It'll make a nice ride, especially if you can keep the AC working! Just crusin' along listening to Fiddler on the Roof!!!
are you saying you hope kevin has a full set of flat tires? Well those are pretty easy to come by if he doesnt. but WHY?
I see, I click, best birthday surprise is a JYD video
Happy b day 😄
Happy birthday 🎂
Happy birthday tomoto!
Happy birthday bro
For stuck or sticky valves, I usually bring the piston to the top of the stroke and remove the valve spring. Then lock the stem in a drill chuck and lube and spin while working up and down.
Appreciate your compliment..for more guidance WhatsApp.....+:::1:::9:::0:::3:::3:::4:::1:::9:::7:::8:::3::
That factory AC unit is worth so much money. That theres a keeper.
34:14 Worse burnout in history 🤦🏻♂️🤣. Great job getting it running though!
I loved the rim spinning inside the tire.
There's many reasons I like seeing older vehicles getting restored and cared for, but one major reason is because fixing them up helps bring back good times. This truck is old enough to have grandpa/grandma go cruisin' in like they used to when they were younger and the truck brand new. That's why I still drive a 1990 S10 to work, because it helps to get away from all the technology and complexity of everything these days. Simple to work on, and power to boot, these old rides just shouldn't die.
Love watching your content! I myself brought back a 1970 Ford f100 that sat for 15+ years! Amazing how much your videos has helped me get it running. Thanks!
"Everybody Wants A Mook Hug" When she's right she's RIGHT!
it be true
I read that as mug hook
That radio is an 8 track. It goes in where the dial is. The dial folds in.
I'm glad someone said it
I think you are single handedly keeping every car wash in your state in business
That brought back memories. That's how my dad's 68 sounded. Just a sound no other truck made while running. Thanks for the memories. Makes me want to go find a 68 and keep as my regular truck.
Wee the old girl is running @20:25 she sounds pretty good other then the lifter noise @Junkyard Digs
You got to do sumthing with the old F250 love to see it back.
Check the PCV valve. Replace it and the hose. Make sure you get the right hoses. My dad rebuilt an engine in an old truck, but did not replace the pcv valve and it was sucking oil up into the carburetor. Smoked like the old tar kettles they used on the road for warning. Through his disgust, he gave it to me( I was 14) and said I could drive it fishing. I noticed oil on the hose and replaced them both. Let’s just say dad was an Indian giver.
Jed is a family friend. I've know him since I was little. He's a damn good dude.
"Down here in Texas Bob Wills is still the king"
WAY lon Jennings!
It don't matter who's in Austin......
So glad when I bought my new TV I didn't opt for smell-a-vision.
I bought a '67 F100 with a 352 3 speed back when I was 17 for $450. Damn thing had no brakes but ran like a scalded dog. Loved that truck.
You have a great foundation for a restoration there. Looks like everything is great except the motor and I picked up the hint that you already have one to tuck in her. That's going to be a sweet ride
Eyyy perfect timing!
Want this truck...!
You should do another revival like the satellite so a mopar muscle car revival
I was expecting this to be one of those, stuck lifters and all, these motors are just ridiculous I own 4 of them.
You and Mook are great at revealing things well done 😂.
my first truck was a 68 ford custom 100 3 on the tree and a 390 loved that old truck
It's amazing how those old V8's can put up with all that abuse. I can't believe that an Ecoboost will be able to do anything in 50 years!
Well that's the price of efficiency. What can we do?
I wanna buy it lol, can't find decent priced F100s in my aera everyone wants a rusted out body for 5-7k man come on!
Here in Australia they want like $10-15,000 for rusty junk that doesn't run. Id love that one!
"No lowballers, I know what I got here. Blue book says $9k." Uh yeah, blue book is for running vehicle, not a pile of rust shaped sorta like a truck.
I feel your pain I see rolling chassis, no drive train going for like 4-5 and body’s half rust too
It would be nice to see this faithful old gal back on the Road all taken care of.
thank you for your vids junkyard digs, i sadly blew an inline six because i failed to lubricate the engine after it sat 10 years and as we all know if you use starting fluid it dries out cylinder walls, ended up blowing a rod bearing. youre my hero dude and your videos are a huge inspiration.
"Rear end seems good". (Tires set on ground and not moving and driveshaft spinning away.) Better check
I'd almost be willing to bet the radio has an 8-track player behind the tuner display.
It’s crazy how this truck SOUNDS familiar. I have a 71 F100. The door hinge squeak, and close sounds the same. So does the FE crank over sound.
Man that DEERE is one fine piece of equipment.
"Bob WILLIS"?? AARGH. Bob Wills. And the Texas Playboys. Best band ever.
Bob Wills is still the king!
You should just rebuild the engine and transmission
You American fellas are truly blessed with all your V8 engines and technology. Us Brits have missed out on that science. We had little 1.3, 1.6 engines to play with . You guys cant even imagine..1.8 and 2 litre engines are very popular here. Diesels have a turbo nowadays..keeps us economical. And now green energy hybrid cars are all the rage .
V8 s rarely seen. Classic car shows maybe.
Born in wrong country.
I have a 67 F600. The engine is a 330 FT but it is very similar in most aspects to an FE engine. These engines were machined and assembled without exhaust manifold gaskets. Over time the exhaust manifolds start to leak and get loud. The mounting bolts usually break off whenever you try to remove them in order to fix exhaust leaks. Some exhaust manifolds crack and break. They are hard to find and replace. The broke off bolts are usually why they get parked and never driven again.
What I Call When An Old Pickup Starts Up For The First Time In Years: History
I love them old Fords. This thing needs a nickname kinda like Mook's truck.
I vote for Nose Hair........
f2old
Hey im sure Mook would love to call it Mook's truck.
Love those old Fords. I had 1970 and this one reminds me a lot of that one which brings back some great memories. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Peace
That truck is perfect. New engine ,suspension upgrade, nice rims and tires. Absolutely perfect. Come on you need to to put a brand new center section in the bed, it's worthy!
Okie ranger!!!!! I'd love to have yall come and revive my old 59 bel air and lend me a hand on it
yeah, I got another f100 I need alot of work on 😭
@@xavierwinnfel874 my bel air has been parked the last time the motor was run I was 4... I'm now 25 and get this... my dumbass of a father parked it cuz the rear-end went out... he had the parts to fix it but didnt...
But even better of a story my uncle had a 60 model biscayne, same body style as the bel air, and he parked his because the fuel pump went out on it... both were perfect cars all original with under 80k miles my bel air is 68k never been rolled over in the odometer and they just let em rot...
The interior just needs some D-Germ.
Very simple to convert that 360 to a 390. Crankshaft and rods and 390 car pistons and you got a bad ass 390. Hey mook I could sure use a mook hug.
That ford F100 is one of the nicest trucks I've seen inside and out, man I would loved to have had that truck
I am sad to say but when you buy an omaze ticket only 15% goes to charity
Still better than most charities luckily.
Understandable considering the cost of the prizes. I wouldn’t think that those prizes are given up completely free. Someone needs to pay for at least part of it. Also need to consider how many youtube sites they are sponsoring. I have seen at least 3 in the last 48 hours.
@@brianjohnston9822 Don’t kid yourself go to their website they have huge sponsorship deals and a lot of the cars come from companies that just want their products put out there so they don’t pay for all the cars either the only time they really give A major portion of the funds to charity is when they have contests where you can win a dinner with an actor or some other celebrity than 60% of that goes to charity but they make a killing on the car raffles and some auditing websites claim it’s actually only 10% of the car raffles go to charity and they claim to have donated 130 million so that means they have brought in billions of dollars I am sure you can afford quite a few hundred thousand dollar cars to raffle off with that kind of money that’s why they advertise with so many RUclipsrs the amount of tickets they sell for each car is unbelievable the money they make off each car will make your head spin so the odds of winning are horrible

Cats funny to see ! Have a few myself !
Whenever ever you got the time brah, revive some muscle cars!
Mmm like an 86 Oldsmobile Hurst find one with those sickening lightning rods
He lives in an area where its hard to find muscle cars
Yeah, thanks for bringing a flat tire to the "burnout" party.
These old Fords are great! I had a 67 with the 300 6 cylinder. Could not kill that truck. 300K+ miles.
I love these old bumpside fords! Swap a good running FE with a 4bbl in it and drive it! Good find!
Obviously cranking a engine without checking for stuck valves was a very stupid decision
