Nice door find! I didn't mention it the other day but I'm currently having the same A/C issues as you on my 88 Mustang GT. I had just replaced the evap while I had the dash out replacing the heater core. Also had just replaced the liquid line(oriface) and the compressor was a NAPA unit less than a year old. It locked up a couple weeks ago. They warrantied the compressor but when you have a compressor failure you have to replace the dryer, condenser, orifice tube (in my case made into the liquid line) and potentially the evaporator. I'm going to flush the evap and I bought all new parts otherwise. I did days and days of research and there's just no way around it. As a matter of fact, the warranty on the compressor says no warranty without all that stuff.....sux. I got the flush kit from O'Reilly for $50 as a loaner tool. You just have to buy the A/C Flush fluid. I should have mine back charged tomorrow...I'm hoping. I just refuse to pull the dash out again as I've had it out 3 times already trying to find a new heater core that doesn't leak. Finally found an actual Motorcraft one exactly like my original. Here's the link for the tool........www.oreillyauto.com/detail/rental-tools-evertough-4771/tools---equipment-16488/tools-17919/rental-tools-16837/rental-tools--air-conditioning---cooling-19163/a-c-flush-kit/67129/4700300/2010/ford/mustang?q=loan You just hook it up to an air compressor and blast till all the old oil and debris is out. Don't forget new PAG oil. Glad the engine didn't blow up!!! :)
Wayne Waldrep don't use compressor air or oxygen to blow out AC / refrigeration lines ever. Google it, if you mix oxygen and refrigeration or AC oil it explodes. No joke.
So after talking with you I ordered that tilt column for the 72...and I must say, for the money it's a heck of a deal. Came in yesterday.. very pleased.
Very cool stuff and very pretty country side as well Always take every opportunity you can to spend time with your family they grow up all to quick I wonder if oil the oil came out when the refrigerant dropped in a hurry ???
The 'sudden drop in pressure' has no negative negative effect on the compressor. To be honest I skipped around on this video a lot, so I could've missed something. But what it sounds like to me is when you blew the line, you blew out a lot of the oil and the compressor locked up cause you didn't have enough oil circulating. But if I missed something fill me in and I'd like to help :)
your videos are getting better and better. I'm working in El Paso this week and I keep getting the urge to buy an old ford. There are many here.I love the plane comment! You and Nathan need to have a video together: that would be great.
I live in Ottumwa and was out in The Omaha area for that storm a few weeks ago. Never heard of an official tornado but there was alot of damage, and some very strong winds.
AC problem sounds like metering orifice is plugged up causing high side to overfill slugging compressor with liquid refrigerant . Make sure system is clean before installing new compressor.Compressor could possibly be still working if system cleaned up.
Hey Matt, another Matt here. I love what you are doing with this truck, marrying the old and the new and documenting it very well. One question I have is how would you have approached this if you wanted to keep a closer to stock stance? I have a flareside 66 F100 and would enjoy the modern suspension, but don't want to lose 5+ inches of ride height.
your son is ADORABLE! and your wife is beautiful you are blessed to habe such a family. I love the work you do keep em coming thanks for sharing and I will keep on watching...
micastang1980 im not the same matt from channel i just commented on you comment about the fuel pump problem. If you're interested in the doors i would send matt a pm
Thanks for the update. Norwegian huh... so am I. En liten hilsen fra Norge! :) I love that lightblue faded paint the truck's got, im curious to see how you get those black doors to fit the "theme". Not that it has to, but I think you said you would like to keep it looking like it does one time. Oh and I got the airplane comment. ;)
You know I'll still be watching...but if your wife's shirt continues to make appearances, I may not drop in as often. Go State. Haha. I'll probably figure out a way to stomach it. Good vid and CL steal
Great vid Mat, I went a different direction on solving the lack of a driver door lock, we bought a lock set, located the correct placement in the drivers door - drilled the hole, then recreated the linkage from the passenger door with slight adaptations for the driver door latch, worked out fine. I know you haven't gotten to the windshield wiper motor yet, have you given any thought to using the CV motor to get the intermittent function of the wipers? If you want to take a look at what I'm doing here's a link to a few of the pics. ImageEvent.com/zany
HOW-D I AM RODNEY RUSHING I've watched all your videos I love the unit body style watch Nathan's I don't like him building something turnaround selling it but I quit watching him anyway I have a bunch of trucks I love the old trucks never commented on anybody's before your doors that you just bought the ones on your truck or not that bad we on a body shop but we're in Birmingham Alabama but anyway that's what gives it the nostalgia look that you're going for and the pain on them not that bad the front left of the pastor door does have a crush whar it was opened up when the fender was too far either the front fender come back and bumped it .but the drivers door that can be pulled out just have to weld a tab and pull out on it bit the tab out weld . And about the looks the only thing I would not change it . it looks good to the way you've done it but the may be the tailgate . But as far as your body panels and all I've let it go jus like it is .i got a 68 and its all original just like that as what makes that so unique but anyway like your videos and wood like to see some of your bike bills too
I spent a weekend there at the TA truck stop next to the amusement park, with a weekend pass I had a blast and consumed 5 funnel cakes
Nice shout out to Nathan’s garage!!!! These planes!!!!
Nice nod to Nathan. Good find on the doors, maybe you could cover some history on why only the passenger side of your originals had a key lock.
very positive thru out a big hair pulling project - I like your 1 step at a time process
Another great video, good looking son and glad you beat the other guys to the doors...

Gasoline, leather and faint smell of skunk. Best scents! 😆
So after talking with you I ordered that tilt column for the 72...and I must say, for the money it's a heck of a deal. Came in yesterday.. very pleased.
dam this truck is nice
Very cool stuff and very pretty country side as well

Those doors were a great find. When you find those kind of deals...the money leaves your hand with pride.
Awesome score man.
2 steps forward now Matt...........THUMBS UP!
Nice score !!👍👍
Nice score on that set of uni doors and the grill! I've driven 1000 miles round trip for slick parts. (Went to TN last year for flareside bed)
your videos are getting better and better. I'm working in El Paso this week and I keep getting the urge to buy an old ford. There are many here.I love the plane comment! You and Nathan need to have a video together: that would be great.
I know someone with a uni body
They wanna sell it? ;) thanks for watching!
River City no their doing a coyote swap
I live in Ottumwa and was out in The Omaha area for that storm a few weeks ago. Never heard of an official tornado but there was alot of damage, and some very strong winds.
You should have the f100 badging changed to f71
dont know wat kind of system it is but make sure u change acu/dryer, any orifice tubes. check for the black death
AC problem sounds like metering orifice is plugged up causing high side to overfill slugging compressor with liquid refrigerant . Make sure system is clean before installing new compressor.Compressor could possibly be still working if system cleaned up.

normally depin the fuel tank pressure sensor. it's not needed anyway since u have deleted evap statem
your son is ADORABLE! and your wife is beautiful you are blessed to habe such a family. I love the work you do keep em coming thanks for sharing and I will keep on watching...
Thank you Joe...Truly. such kind words. I appreciate you tuning in!
Thanks for sharing
Great vid, that is strange on the fuel gauge. Glad you got it working. One issue at a time. I agree, thats what makes these old cars worth driving.
Were you able to find a schematic on that column by chance...asking before I tare mine apart.
Love your videos! You're quite the patient guy. I would be pissed about that compressor. Looking forward to the video.
Great score on the doors! Enjoy your little one, they grow up way too fast.
Take care
Did you have a gauge on the high side while the suction was at 0??
Can you put a rubber gasket between the tank and sending unit
micastang1980 there is one but the bolt head still touch the sending unit and go in to the tank. A rubber washer on each bolt might work.
Ok just trying to help you out. What are you going to do with those red doors?I like the custom cab handles.they would look good on my 66 f100.
Are you interested in parting with them? ( THE HANDLES not the doors)
Matt Boyd are you interested in getting rid of those custom cab door handles on the red doors? They would look great on my 66 f100
micastang1980 im not the same matt from channel i just commented on you comment about the fuel pump problem. If you're interested in the doors i would send matt a pm
I need those door handles on your red doors!! Love the videos......
Great video Matt!
U said no door locks?
What are you Nathans Garage with those planes overhead? lol
Great deal on the doors/grill....Score!
That's just the ebb and flow Matt...people that can't persevere Drive new stuff..lol.
Me thinks you were going slightly faster than the speed limit on the trip west
Thanks for the update.
Norwegian huh... so am I.
En liten hilsen fra Norge! :)

Not that it has to, but I think you said you would like to keep it looking like it does one time.
Oh and I got the airplane comment. ;)
If the old neighbor is blasting dubstep you should blast Glen Miller back.
Dents are call patina or character.
you and nathan....."what do you know...another plane!"
