Lol i was in Rusk Tx last night. Small world! Oh hell i just realized it said Frankston on the bumper. Bet it came from the old Ford Dealership at the 4 ways stop. Now called Lade Ford
Listening to these young guys talk about standard equipment on these old vehicles that were common place as if those things were odd makes me realize how old I am. Those vehicles back then were our daily drivers, our workhorses. We built houses, worked farms and ranches , did construction work without all the bells and whistles on todays vehicles. Somehow we survived without all these bells and whistles and big diesel engines in our trucks. People back then drive more respectful not like todays impatient assholes that are in a hurry to go nowhere.
You’re not wrong about that! I drove a ‘67 C10 with an in-line six and a three on the tree in high school. It was such a fun truck to drive despite being a super basic rig.
@@SallysSpeedShop remember the days carrying a road map in the glove compartment? You bought them at the full service gas stations. Pull up and run over the hose that would ding and out the guy would come and ask you Ethyl or regular and how much, wash your windows, check your oil and water in your radiator. Maybe check your tires too.
once again. old school technology , simple and easy to fix, and I need to replace the freeze plugs on my 1985 wagon, 305, and thanks for the tip on add RVT on it!
@9minutes or so when the truck rolled out of the house i said that wasn't sketchy at all just before he jumped out and said the same thing lol great minds think alike HAHA
Rolling backwards into the garage that was so Sketchy holy smokes nothing like Hulking it at the end jumping out and using your body to stop the truck Jacob must have found his immer Angry Hulk Strength @Sally's Speed Shop
Next time you are in Walmart go to the bbq grill accessories and pick up a mustard/ketchup container and they make an excellent way to fill the float bowl. They are packed both in a package and very cheap.
I had two Fords with twin I beam. 65 was the first year for it. It was also the best front end you could have, alignment was never a problem and I don't know why it is not still in use on the new ones.
Cool history. My experience with American 6s seems like yours with the AMCs and that Ford. They never die. Just run. No matter how much neglect. Don't need much compression and are fine with slop everywhere. LOL
I’m like 30 minutes from Frankston TX, there’s still a Ford dealer at the one stop light in the center of town, but it’s called Lade Ford now. Has some sweet ‘60s mustangs in the showroom to draw people in. Rarely come across ETX vehicle connections on RUclips, except for when Junkyard Digs came to Henderson. Glad to see this beauty getting back on the road!
@@jerredwayne8401 I was a lake kid so it was a frequented spot. Was in high school and a Jr firefighter with the VFD when it burnt down, vividly remember my reaction when the page came out on the scanner lol. Didn’t know that factoid though, thanks!
I agree with strap config. I replicate what tow truck and car haulers do…straight back or front depending on what corner of the vehicle and I go over the top third of the tire as anchor point on vehicle to allow the car suspension to absorb vertical motion and not force it all on trailer suspension.
@@SallysSpeedShop what a great video. I am a new subscriber, I started watching when you brought the 68 Charger to life with Dylan. Then the “Mamma Mia” Gremlin. You have a good recipe going with your content since you show and explain just enough of what your doing, but not too much where it makes it a super long video. Love your sidekick! Keep it up good sir. I have my grandfather’s analog meter and his Prescription safety glasses he used in the 80’s. Mortske Repair has the super scrapers cheaper than Amazon oh man what a game changer that scraper is!!!!!
There should be a tag under 1 bolt of the ignition coil that tells exactly what engine it is. 1965 was the first year of the 240/300 sixes. Best engines Ford ever made. The 300 has more torque than a 302 of the day.
Love the truck, I had one very similar to it in the 1990s. Mine was a short wide box, with the 240/3-speed. It had a spun bearing when I bought it, (I was just out of college and earning decent money) so it became my first full-on, proper engine overhaul, which involved a good machine shop and fresh everything. It did stellar service as a daily, all-weather mode of transport. I miss it, this brings back good memories. Never had a problem with the single circuit brakes, but if I had to do it over, I’d replace the flexible brake hoses while waiting to get the engine finished.
Now there's a wonderful family heirloom back on the road! 👍🍻 When I was in 1st grade in the early 70s, my Dad bought a used 65 F100 Flareside with a Six and 3 on the tree. He believed it was the 300 cid version. It was used as a commuter and a hauler for Dad's many around-the-house projects.
This truck brings back some memories, Dad bought one like it from a Government Auction was a Forestry truck only ours was a 4 speed with Granny 1st Gear, posi-trac rear end. I was 16 I pulled a 2 horse trailer with my sister for our local riding club. We loved that old truck.
I love this channel getting vintage vehicles back on the road is a great thing. I always enjoy the history of the vehicles. I am definitely looking forward to your next video to see your next fun filled adventure
@@SallysSpeedShop FIRST OF ALL... THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE .. ... But ....think about it GO TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THESE DAYS WITH WHAT HE PAID FOR IT!!! HEAR THE LAUGHTER AND THE SOUND OF THE PO PO DRAGGING YOU OUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!
@@SallysSpeedShop How can there be no need for a pickup truck? when they are totally utilitarian? Are you saying they had newer pickup trucks? because the common and practical way is to combine an old pickup truck, and a '65 does fine, to move things that are too big and/or too dirty for the newer car. But that is no luxury unless you have a newer pickup or you hire such things moved. My '82 Dodge pickup is certainly no luxury because I need to move things too big for my Geo Metro at least twice a month.
@@SallysSpeedShop I'm pretty sure that year and model of truck was designed to be able to cruise at 60 mph at least, so I think something is wrong with the wheel balance or alignment if it can't be held steady at 60, though modern car may be far steadier, that truck was designed to go 60, not just 40.
OMFG... I just had a perfect idea... 4WD 4.0L Gremmie.. It is about the same wheelbase as a Wrangler.. why not? Yeah.. Ford had twin I beam front for a LONG time.. hell my 95 Bronco had a version of it.. the TTB Dana 44. It came out in 1965.
First couple years of twinibeam where a little off,the straight axle was better in some ways, thg hey where driveable to around 80 with solid front end.
Yet another inline-six lovingly massaged...by your skilled hands...into life once again. That engine looks as beautiful as it runs, too. You can tell when Mobey's in charge...things just go more smoothly with him.❤Thanks to you, the Goolsby family are well on their way to having a truck that's a century old and still serving after five generations. There's no reason they can't get there! BTW...I really like the music you use in your videos. If you're at liberty to divulge, I should like to know who the artist is, please. Mahalo for yet another superb look at just how we do it America. Aloha to you all, and please take care!
You think it's stretching with F-150 pulling a truck out on that driveway try doing it with a propane tank Bobtail 6-wheel stubby truck with a tank on the back then drive around in North Carolina Tennessee
Single pot master cylinder, drum brakes and standard transmission, no a/c not even in our houses that’s how it was back then. Remember those times quite well.
I hope the freeze plug on the back of the head is ok as well. Ive been rebuilding one of these trucks for the past 2 years. They are fun trucks but sometimes finding parts for the 65 is a pain because the 65 and 66 have a lot of parts that are only for that year. Some parts from later models will work but others will not.
@@SallysSpeedShop I dont blame you on that, the only way to replace it is to remove the head, which would mean, pulling all the rockers and pushrods off, new head gasket and valve cover gasket, then setting the valve lash again. If its not leaking dont do it. But it is something I would have them watch for just in case.
OOOHHH YA!! GREAT VIDEO!!! THANKS MY SON MAX SAYS THANKS TOOO!!!!
Another Ford roars back to life!!
Yes sir!
All the glove box goodies oh yeah information looks very nicely intact
Lots of goodies and new parts for the old girl
Beautiful old 65 ford
Digging the music during the carb rebuild @40:18 @Sally's Speed Shop
I had a 69 Ford 3 on the tree 240 6 cylinder under the hood she rode smooth and comfortable on the interstate at 75 Miles per hour! Effortlessly...
Old girl started right up first time no issue what a gem
I have a '66 F100 that's been in my shed for close to 30 years. It's a custom cab with 352 and 3 speed on the column. One of these days !
Where do you live? Maybe we need to come do a revival! 😊
@@timdavis_365 Western Iowa. The engine is not locked up, it holds brake pressure, but, the clutch is stuck. Still has coolant in the radiator!
1965 step side ! Yea ! I had one but it had a service body on it , Converted the 3 on the tree to 3 on the floor . Wish I still had it ...
Great vid and very cool truck!!!!!! 👍👍
Happy Mother's Day, Sally. You have an awesome family, ma'am.
Thanks Bill!

Holy smokes, I remember going to the Perimeter Mall as a teen, right after it opened, when we would visit my grandparents who lived at Lake Lanier.
Haha good times indeed!
Nice! My Grandpa retired in '65, but treated himself to a loaded 4-wheel drive Travelall.
I like his style! Is it still around?
Besides the dings that truck is in pretty good shape. Them Ford Inline 6s are boarder line indestructible.
It’s definitely been loved!

If you’re located anywhere near Georgia I’d love to help!
That’s a beautiful old truck 😍😍
It's always cool to be able to use grandpa's tools. I got my grandpa's old Kennedy toolbox after he passed, use it everyday.
That’s awesome! It definitely makes the work much more special when you use a tool that belonged to someone special.

Why not change the fuel filter on the fuel pump.
I probably should have, but it seemed to work flawlessly so I ran with it

For a work truck it's nice and clean under neath
I always run my straps the same way you do with the exact same explanation. You rock.!!!
Thank you Bill! You’re continued support means a ton to me!
It's a 300 6cyl which is actually a 240 with a longer stroke

Good job. I only have one complaint, it is too dark for us to see anything under the hood. But you did a good job.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. We've added more lights in the shop since then.
for the year it is more then likely a 240 cid
Yep. That's what the older gentleman said it is. 👍
I always like to do my straps straight and to the frame. I don't like the towed vehicle being capable of bouncing on the trailer.
Silly question if it’s a six cylinder, why do you only have five freeze plugs?

He already told you it was the 240. The smallest six available in a pickup.
There was only a 300 I6, 353 v8, or 391 v8. Auto or 4 speed on the floor.
Are you bad at math or did you record this video 2 years ago? Just curious.
