Thanks! We've got a couple episodes in the series after this video... it's a journey, and we're still on it, but we're getting there! Thanks for watching!
Really cool project! My son and I are restoring a 76 highboy as well but it's had a lot of work done to it, supercab swap, cummins swap, custom length bed. It will be going on TH-cam soon too. When you're initially setting up that carburetor, run your idle mixture screws on the front all the way in, gently, don't tighten them, then run them back out 1 and a half turns on each side. Then the idle adjustment on the throttle itself should be backed off until the throttle plates are fully closed, then turned back in one full turn. That will make it run and you can fine tune it from there. There are some great carb setting videos on Uncle Tony's Garage channel. Also try putting a quart of ATF in your engine oil and running it for awhile and see if that lifter tick will unstick itself. Love these old trucks, looking forward to seeing it back on the road again!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the tips! We will definitely try that out. I'm trying to get the third episode done here pretty soon, and spoiler alert...It might be driving around in that video :)
Had the same issue with a 65 Chevy tank. I put a gal of muratic acid with the rest water and let it set for a day. Cleaned up like new. I then put por 15 has tank liner. Worked great.
Thanks! It's the 360 actually. And we a tried that same trick with the nuts and bolts, prior to these clean out efforts. If you watch the first episode of this series, you can see what we came up with :)

Awesome! Sounds like a great solution. I've heard that mineral spirits can work wonders for dissolving things too?? Good to know.
I cant wait for episode 3, cmon guys😅😅🤣🤣
I am literally working on it right now :)
Lkq tank.
Once I cleaned up a tank by dumping some nuts and bolts in and shaking side to side.
Nice truck. 390?

Found this channel from the short. I've got a 1974 Ford F-250 Ranger SuperCab. Check it out on Quint 1836. I'm subscribed
Part 3 ?
Coming soon :) Just haven't had the time to get it finished out yet!
There is no gas tank behind the seat in a 1974 f100
Interesting! I guess the '250 is different. Ours also has an auxiliary tank under the back left fender, which I think is aftermarket.
