"There's no Ford like an old Ford". Amen, Brother!
Now that's a Big Block Ford !! Hauled Grain with a C 950 5x2 on a good day 4 mpg !
We had two C's, an 850 and a 900. The 850 had the 534 and it had plenty of power to haul 550 bu. of corn and keep up with traffic, even on the interstate when we hauled to a processor in Indianapolis. Two speed axle and 5 speed tranny which would hit you in the leg trying to get low or reverse, would hit dash in 2 and 4 and the seat in 1,3, and 5. They came out with an update on the shift linkage that took most of the slop out. THe 900 had a 401 (destroked version of 534 and 477) with a 6 speed Allison and it was a dog, mostly used to haul in from the field to bins in low gear. Lots of room in the cab, hot in summer, cold in winter, noisy all the time. Under load the manifolds would be cherry red, impressive at night but not so great in a cornfield. Finally scrapped the last one out this summer, sad to see it go but had no use for it any more and got over $1000 in scrap value.
We had one in our fleet, an LN 900 with the 534 and its average fuel mileage was 2.7 mpg. The others average 4 mpg but gas in 1979 was still 53 cents a gallon for much of the year. When it hit $1.30 in early 1980 they parked most of the 534s.
Nice truck !!! I had a 1966 T-950, with the 534 cuber. 5 + 4 transmissions. Originally had a fifth wheel plate, changed it to a winch truck. That engine is a pulling marvel, had the biggest Holley carb I ever seen 😂👍
Our reserve engine(pumper truck) was a 1969 c600 with the fire service version of this 534 monster in it! Distributer had dual points set up,had the magneto ignition system for a backup. Had a 5 speed trans,and just a rerend. I got the points cleaned up and gapped and my Lt. Got that magneto nightmare lined out,and that was the runninest ol truck I ever seen. Loved it!
Tried to buy it,but a neighboring volunteer fire department got it instead.
Can a 302 w auto Transfer. REPLACE a 534. ??
Transmission
Back in the 80's & 90's I was a firefighter. We had an 85 Ford pumper with a 3208 cat, a 5 speed trans. With a 2speed rear end. We always split shifted our truck. I was surprised to see you didn't. I guess you had a much lighter loaded truck since you just straight shifted your truck. I have to say watching your drive video made me homesick for our old 85 Ford pumper. Take care of it and yourself. Look forward to next video.😅
Most volunteers could not figure out the 2 speed. The main pumper when I joined was a ˋ74 F-750 391 HD with a straight 5 speed and that truck could haul weighing in at just under 24,000lbs. fully loaded. It would easily achieve 70 MPH on the open rural highway! Those were the days...
I had one of those. A 1960 F-700 that had a 292 v8, a five speed overdrive and the rear end had been replaced with an international K-8 axle. I used to haul 22,500 lbs of corn or soybeans to local elevators. Drove like a Cadillac!
my Dad had an old Ford Louisville dump truck years ago and it was a petrol/gasoline automatic with a single 4" exhaust out the side and going down a hill under decell it would backfire mega loud and shoot a 3 to 4 foot flame out the pipe.......was awesome......LOL
Poor dude has been working feverishly to get the old truck to start ever since the last video. Wonder where that ticking sound is coming from?! I can personally attest to the backfiring. As a kid with no money, years ago, I was trying to save gas by shutting off the engine on long downhills. Had just gotten a brand new muffler on my 1970 jeep pickup. Using this gas saving trick, I forgot to turn the key back on before I put it back in gear. When I released the clutch, obviously, nothing happened. I quickly reached down and turned on the key and BOOOOM!! Split that 2 day old muffler from stem to stern. UGH! Had to run with about 10 lbs of muffler wrap on it for a few weeks until I scraped enough money together for another new muffler. Valuable lesson learned. Fun memory in hindsight.
Ticking sound is cracked exhaust manifold the showed on right side of engine
@@christopherfarmer1812 I was being facetious.
Love them old trucks.....we always called called cab over trucks "hemorrhoid busters" LOL
Love those old Fords....
Memories memories! In 1977 I learned how to drive tractor-trailer in a 1964 Ford F-750 with a 534. Noisy and of course steering by armstrong but I loved the old trucks. Probably the worst part of learning to back up was the 113 degree Phoenix weather that day!
The 534s were good pullers but drank a lot of gas, often less than 4 mpg city in a tractor-trailer job pulling heavy loads.
Wow never seen one with a huge crack in the exhaust manifold. Shouldn't be hard to find one as Ford made these motors for years and years.
That model was perfect for local LTL delivery they were everywhere in the 60's and 70's.
Remember UPS in romoland in California that's by Hemet,had one of those things and I think they had glass packs on it cuz I know when they started it up I had to rev the s*** out of it to get the air pressure up in it and it sounded like a NASCAR
Tim, Glad to hear that old C-series fire off and run finally, it's crazy, but you talk about the technology and design of that truck, the C series was first introduced in 1957, it ran basically unchanged untill it was discontinued in 1990, only receiving few minor changes in styling, and minor engine and brake upgrades in it's entire 34 year run, the 57's and 1990's looked identical.... our last 1990 C-series still had the hole punched out in the doors ( rubber plug installed ) for the bracket that held the original 1957 style mirrors.... Love the channel, " later tater "
We have a tandem axle c series, with a plastic tanker, we use for spraying weeds. I love that truck, and everyone thinks I'm crazy for it. That CAT 3208 is a dog, but boy does it sound good straight piped.
I helped build these work horses for over 40 years. Remember well when they let this unet die. Thanks for sharing
@@highflyinryan76weezer25 In about 1963 Ford introduced the 3208 in the C cab. They (the press) said that Ford paid Caterpillar to design that engine for them.
Christopher
YES, longest running Production line FORD C style of cab. I remember we had them in Fire Department, had a neat Looking Rescue body type. Door behind passages door with full cab bench seats. The back had a walk in full length door. I have pictures of me in cab. This was late 70s. The Post office in my area ran them as main depo to post offices as the bulk mail carrier. I always craved for that job running those great looking mail carrier. I worry that a Fire might start from fumes, on that sparks blowing around that cracked manifold. What say you.
@@ronwisman1767
Thank you for doing your job. That would have been my dream job, just building them. It must have been like letting a old Friend go, when you stopped building them.
When your eyes can hear an exhaust leak.
My dad had one of these on our farm when I was a kid ... brings back memories 👍
My grandfather & great uncle had a 65' F750 Ford Single Axle Tractor they farmed with. It had a 391 Ford engine in it . they couldn't keep a pair of mufflers on it due to it backfired everytime you swaped gears . 5&2 transmission. They finally Straight Piped the truck after 2 pairs of blown mufflers. My grandfather & great uncle also had a buddy that they done dirt work with this man had a 74' F800 Tandem dump with a 534 Ford Engine & a 613 Road Ranger transmission. This ole C model Ford in the video sounds like the F800 Ford I mentioned. Great video Tim .
lel, looks like the 534 didn't want to be silenced!
it's great to know someone cut your grass 4 years ago. thankx.
What a beautiful treasure you got there!
Looking like a fine Sunday in Mississippi, complete with sunshine and an old Ford! Clouded over up in this part of SD, may warm way up into the mid-60s today. -Bob...
Great hearing that Ford fire of!!!!!
DUE LOVE THEM BIG BLOCK FORD'S, AND TO THINK ALL MY FRIENDS TOLD ME, HEY WHY DO YOU KEEP ALL THESE OLD BIG BLOCK MOTORS NO ONE ELSE USES THEM ANYMORE, GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAS AN APPRECIATION FOR THEM.
GREAT VIDEO
I love Old Fords! I just broke down and bought me a Ranger!
I love the rangers, not those new things they call rangers though. I had a 94' that had 372k miles on the clock when I sold it, I rode it hard too bought it when I was 16 with not even 50k on it. All engine wise I had done to it was a headgasket and cam. I destroyed a few transmissions a transfer case and rear end.
This proves that Ford's last if you had a Chevy that old it would be seized and in need of a rebuild BBF powered trucks just last longer I bet it drives just as good as it runs the stuff you could do with that c series is unreal classic Ford's rule
I love these old "C" cab Fords. I'm gonna custom one of these one day. Maybe a tuned up 7.3 Powerstroke/ATS auto and a 4x4 conversion. That would be cool.
90’s, man up here in CT we are in the low 70’s and in the 50’s during the night. Fall is moving in quick.
Great video that’s a clean old truck good to see stuff like that.
I like that little Ford. The 534 looks just a little bit bigger than the 391 that I had in my 65 C800. 🥰 Love the C series Fords.
*little Ford?.....* lmao
Glad to see you go back to see that old girl fire up good video !
I love the springs holding hood open.
Well bud I hope you and the family have a wonderful Sunday. Whatever you do make sure you enjoy it. Until next time my friend stay strong, stay safe out there and take care buddy.
things a powerhouse goobs of torque the old super duty.thanks for vid
I think you mean gobbs
Wow Tim an oldie but a very goodie..Yeah buddy Mr. Frank is priceless..
I'm all caught up Tim..LOL Have a good one..Take care
My first garbage truck was a 85 Ford c 8000 love that truck clean
Gotta love the old trucks and cars
This one looks about the same as a 1968 that I drove the only thing was in the winter at minus 10 or so the shifter setting right front center was real stiff for the first 10 to 15 miles, still a mice truck.the one I drove had a 330 v8.
yeah that's style hardly ever changed at all except for a little light tweak or something like that all the way through till it got replaced about 1970 1974 or so with the Louisville
sounds of childhood, learned to drive twin stick in an M800 tandem tractor used as a grain truck, pulling a full load in a 48' trailer used close to 2 gals for every mile it traveled, when gas went nuts in the early 70's it got changed to a 12V71-T
That truck is sweet, I know several guys that would pay unbelievable amounts of money for that thing lol, thanks for sharing Tim, you have a good day buddy, good job on the rotobec videos. 🌲👌🌳💪
Derrick Pettit send them my way. I’ve got a good 63 and a low mile parts truck.
@@BD-xz6te sub my channel bud
Totally cool truck! Have to find the video you recommended.
Old fords never die.
Our town used to have A old Ford garbage truck with A gas engine my dads friend used to drive It & if he seen someone he knew walking or in their yard he would make it backfire and scare the 💩💩out of them lol
I don't know how much of a pain it would be to find a replacement cast iron manifold. Hell, may as well just put a good set of dump headers on it.
Cool rig!
Great video Tim 👍👍👍. Pretty cool seeing the fire in that cylinder.
Good morning Tim and family.
850 cfm Holley and a big old oil bath air cleaner. Had a job servicing one. 1968 F750
Great video Tim hope you are having a great Sunday
We had 2 fire trucks like this truck and talking about the back firing they both did it and would shoot a flame out the side about 4 feet and came close to starting a brush fire lol
These C -Series had an option for a sleeper as well. Good trucks.
Great video today have a great week.
I would love to have a truck like that.
Have great day Tim
My brother Pat and I used to do that backfire trick to scare people at bus stops.
That would make a cool dirt car hauler! Maybe sell that to Hollis Farms to tote one of their cars!
It’s already hotter than a four balled tomcat here today. About to go put the smack down on some grub at a family reunion. Then it will be nap time on #SundayintheSouth.
I learned to drive truck on a f700 dump truck with a 534, 5 speed and a 2 speed axle. When you stepped on the throttle you were flushing the gas tank lots of torque but not very fast.
I rode a many of miles in with Dad just like that picking up sealtest.milk of farm to the plant
I drove one converted as a yard truck. They made them from 57 to 90.
Love that Ford c series coe great truck ...y’all keep it truckin! A big 👍🏻 from Louisiana!
I have one like yours but mine is a 87 with a 3208 cat v8 yours is cooler looking than mine sweet truck
Hey a Ford Super Duty, guess that didn't start in 99 with the F and E series LOL.
That's such an awesum truck.
That 534 V8 was a huge beast of a engine! I wonder what the red line was, like 3,000 MAX? I like the brake booster, the remote location under the bed, twin boosters on the drivers side.
I was really surprised that the WW2 6X6 duce used in France only had a 270" inline 6. I would have suggested a much larger engine, but I guess they did not come along until the 50's. A 330" Ford flathead V8 would have motivated the trucks at closer to 45 MPH.
I think this 534 would be great to drive with a 25,000 pound GVW taking grain to a elevator or something, while using a 330" V8 would take a whole lot longer to get there.
Our mechanics said we could run them to 3200 rpms but at the time the national 55 mph speed limit was still in effect which could be attained at about 2900 rpms. By the time the 55 mph limit was raised in 1987 they had just about retired all the 534s in favor of trucks with 3208 Cat diesels.
Funny how nobody 9n here mentions how HOT the ford's were in the summertime. My dad had me take spark plugs out and sandblast them,, and replace spark plug wires that were constantly melting.. We had several 477's and 534 in concrete trucks and you would literally melt in these so called trucks. Guaranteed to be an instantaneous weight loss program. Oprah should drive one for a month. Had an old White that was about as bad
That's why the old Detroit had a square plug on the blower horn to spray the ether in because they had oil bath air cleaner
That wild cherry burl is as cool as the old truck.
It hasn't been parked all that long. The ol bath air cleaner plumb sucked up the Ether. That manifold isnt cracked its flat BROKEN
That exhaust crack is going to make some impressive backfires when going downhill =]
The "truck stop special" wheel covers should go.
Nice video 👍
I got one with 371 4v thing just screams even with good muffler
Bet its not easy to find a new exhaust manifold to replace that cracked on.
Rodd Ruiz weld it
You'd be surprised,just go on a barn crawl around the locals,these engines were in a lot of grain trucks.
Cool truck.
Do you have to pull the engine to replace the exhaust manifold? Looks tight fit. Classic truck. Nice
No need. There's probably 8 inches between the frame and the manifold! And that's from the top. Get under it and you would be shocked at the actual room you do have. Gotta remember,these things were made to be worked on as easily as possible.
Whole lot more room in my 83 C700 with a 370 gas engine.
I would think just loosen the mounts and jack the engine up about three inches and pray the bolts don't break.
Man I would love to own that thing
Just needs an exaust manifold at the engine down to the tailpipe now and she's good to go
They were more hands on back then, like you said they use computers now days to design things
Hunter's birthday was the 4th you said? Mine was on the 3rd. I'm a lot older than him though. 39 Lol.
Want it like ford
How did these gas engines do in this class of truck compared to diesels? Did they offer anything the diesels didn't?
That’s cool.
Almost needed subtitles there but enjoyable vid :-)
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤠
Is that flatbed for sale that's a style I've been looking for a long time I can never see one please let me know if you want if it's for sale are you it's not okay thank you very much it's a very nice vehicle looks good thank you
I was just watching one of your older video's and seen where you did highlights at the beginning of your videos. Kinna miss that. I thought it was cool. Just saying. 😂
I'd drive it
in her younger days bet that boy was a power house. with the high test premium they had back then,
We used 391 s o in our bucket trucks and Digger trucks and you didn't have to pump the gas you just turn the key off and it would blow the dam Muffler how similar is that engine to a Fe
Can a Ford534 be Replaced by a 302 ??
Lindo caminhão
Sound like a broken bucket 😁😂
But, i love this truck..
In the late 1960's early 1970's Ontario Department of Highways had a 1967 6 ton Ford single axle plow truck North of Lake Superior the plow circuit was 67 miles out and back round trip and that 534 burnt 67 gallons of gas to plow 67 miles of road.
Send that to Frank howarth
Please to be sure there is tank in the gas,, lolo !!!
That's a Lincoln Mel truck engine
Yeah, that cracked exhaust manifold is noisy and flamey...
Oh the 534… known for bad exhaust manifolds and for getting 4 miles per gallon no matter how it was driven.
yikes...I remember 1962. duck and cover !
2:55 Making fun of the sparks seen through a broken manifold? TERRIBLE DANGER!
Sounds like a diesel
Sounds like sxit
Sounds like you got too much timing pulled out of it...
Doesn't even make sense
who has parts for these, 401 477 534?
All it takes is dollar bills.
