Hard to believe that an engine rusted that bad inside , will even run a little ,let alone sit and idle, a testament to your determination Chad
Whoops its a 5.0
That old Ford probably had a 300 straight 6 with a 4 speed manual transmission. Nothing gets me more excited than a new TNT garage video! You never disappoint Chad!
I thought that to a 300 6 with a auto is rare.they must have pulled the clutch pedal and put in a auto brake pedal.
300 6 4speed is what I'm thinking to 👍
@@Ford679 I missed the clutch pedal
Ford had the same size brake pedal for auto or manual transmissions. Later in the vid, you see the clutch stuck to the floor.
@@lawrenceedwards6327 not sure where you get that information from, fords did not have the same size brake pedal, at least when it came to bullnose trucks (80-86) if it was a manual it always had a skinny pedal, if it was an auto it always has the wide pedal, this truck was clearly swapped from a manual to an auto and they just left the old pedal bracket on.
This Ford had to have been a power house in its day as the Ford 351 was a tough motor . The 351 W was made in Canada and the 351 Cleveland was made in the USA and the difference supposedly is the Cleveland block was built a little bigger for racing. The Canadians may argue this but it is a fact.Anyway both motors were excellent and popular. Us Ford fans love them like you Chevy guys like your LS 350s!! Great video !!! Thanks
I had a 78 f-150 plow truck with the 351m. That engine ran like a top, sadly rust took it over to the point I couldnt even plow the yard with it. Miss that old truck. Last few years I used reverse for brakes too and the trans wouldn’t die either. 😂
The windsor revved higher, better suited for street and strip. The clevo redlined at 4500 and pulled like a freight train had better torque at lower revs for F Trucks and Falcons. Had both variants in Australia and know the engines well
I swapped a 300 to a 351W in a ‘83. It had a granny low 4 speed and it was sure enough a beast.
@@tylerbeach4727😊
Were any of you guys surprised at how well this beast ran after being locked up so tight for decades? Definitely a testimony to the design and resilience of the 351 Ford.
That’s a manual brake pedal. I’d bet it used to be a 300/6 4 speed and was swapped to a 351w using the 6 cyl mounts. Pretty neat truck, definitely tells a story!
Yup exactly what I’m thinkin
Yeah definitely manual you could see the clutch pedal when he showed the brake pedal
Probably the 6cylinder power steering setup ad well
Agreed
It doesn't look like you're too popular in your neighborhood ? You forget to give out some candy ? Dude 😂
Darn you Chad, Up until just now I've avoided subscribing to anything here on youtube, but dang it, I just subscribed to your channel. Yours is the first youtube channel I've ever subscribed to. : ) Thank you Chad, your channel is refreshing compared to others who all seem to "go big time" and forget why people enjoy watching. Oh, tell Daisy an old retired beer drinkin shade tree mechanic in Oklahoma said hi. :)
Preshate it. 👍
@@ThisNThatGarage is the owner of the farm wanting to sell tractors I seen some in your video here I would be interested in
Palta!
chevrolette. french.. ford, in bed with hitler.. both as bad as each other.. id say.. ford was a bussiness man,,making money, in the wrong stable..@@ThisNThatGarage
Ya got me again on a school night, bud! Luckily, tomorrow is my Friday thanks to Veterans Day (Love and Respect to all my fellow Veterans out there - thanks for your service!) so I don't mind missing a few hours of sleep. Love all these old Fords, Chad - keep em coming!
Chad...nobody does a will it run and drive like you!! That's what makes this channel awesome...you just don't give up...that's why u are the best!!
Boy howdy, I thought the last resurrection looked tough. This one was ever tougher.
So on that note, I have 2 names for you Bodacious or Bushwhacker. They were crossbred brahma rodeo bulls, and both extremely tough to ride in their day. I like Bodacious cause it didn’t seem like that truck was going to let you win. Then Bushwhacker cause you had to use your jack handle to whack through the weeds.
Hey Chad, I'm amazed the old Ford ran , let alone got you almost home. Great effort getting it going!
Not only you made it run but the more far you were going the more I was thinking how bad it was stuck not long ago. I think you really made the trick with that homemade chain like you did on a previous video. Reward was this ride on these back roads, really pretty. Thanks for your efforts.
You put a great effort as usual. You're nearly home and that's what counts. Great video as always and I'm looking forward to seeing the truck again. 👍✌️🇺🇲
So much dedication for a Ford.you are a saint! I'm a Ford guy. "STF" Save The Fords! 1972 was a great year for me though. Thanks for the great content Chad.!
Mr. Morris!!! Have I told you lately, that…your channel is one of my faves?!? One of two exactly, and number one is a close friend. I’m sure that doesn’t impress you😂😂😂😂but you know… I have to periodically show you my love!
👍
We all leak a little as we get older, I can't hold that against it :P
Hour and 50 mins of my buddy??? BEST November 8th ever!!
Gotta love those ole bullnose fords. Ive got a 85 f150 4 wheel drive, two tone blue that i picked up a few yrs ago. Only had 41,000 origional on it, slowly gettin it running right. Gonna delete all that smog bs eventually and make it dependable. Congrats on getting her running.
Hey hey y'all! Hope everyone's doing well and having a great week thus far! Glad to see another week and don't forget to like & share these videos to help Mr Chad out & to keep bringing us this great content. Much love you guys! 💙🙏🏼
Yes! Indeed haveing a video pop up has made my week. Chad is awesome!
LOL!
And don’t skip the ads.
I just love you & you’re videos, iv been sharing your videos & telling my friends & family about you, I think you’re awesome & you’re definitely my favorite ❤️
I have an 81 f100 customer with a 300 straight 6 and a 3 speed transmission love the truck
I had a 85 Ford with the 300/6 and when I went to sell it for a new truck ,I literally had two guys bidding each other because of the motor!! Of course this was years ago. If I remember right ,I think I had a 3 speed with overdrive manual floor shift but dont quote me on this. Should have kept that truck .
Yea they came with a 3 speed with mule gear
Hey, you can call it Red Bull... Cuz if you rev
that up high enough it's going to give those rods wings 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I'd be willing to bet the engine has head gasket problems as well. I hope you could hear me chearing you on from Missouri. 😊
Good one This N That! Hopefully that motor ain't too far gone. Beautiful country you live in down there!
I love the enthusiasm when the crank first started to move! Chad seems to love a challenge. I love watching him win!
I really think that '80's style of Ford pickup was the best looking versions of all. Glad you are rescuing it! Nice to see that you have enough mechanical experience not to let the little trials and tribulations ruin your good mood.
Anyone else watching the engine and truck movement when he is trying to rotate that engine? Chad is strong like the Incredible Hulk!
I noticed that too. That engine wouldn’t dare stay locked up with Chad twisting on her!
That old thing HAD to have a STRONG set of motor mounts in it and you're as stout as 2 bulls and a big horse. And I like crowbar and clawhammer mechanicing. Right up my alley! Blessings 2 yall!
I’m glad you didn’t give up and tow it home and finally got it running. Great video. Call the truck Bull Worth
Oh yeh you are one guy who never gives up, love that
You want by far my favorite TH-camr to watch. You are an amazing person. Keep up the great work
Hi chad from here in UK England I love your style of resurrection many folk would walk away but you have the best stubbornness I’ve ever seen you won’t leave it no matter how much crap it gives you big respect chad from me here in UK can’t wait for next adventure all the best buddy keep well And keep video coming I’m waiting for next
Thanks for keeping it real. I appreciate how authentic you are. Down home know how and self reliance!
Truck was a standard, clutch pedal is stuck to the floor. Keep up the good work Chad, I love how you don’t give up. Keep up the great videos, you the MAN👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love the 351w and these trucks. I've had a bunch of them. Make a cool patina shop truck out of her. Lowered just a little. Old body looks pretty good. Another difference in the 302 and 351w is the intake is quite a bit wider on the 351. I have several good headlight bezels I could send you one for the driver's side where that one's broke if you want.
Send it on! 👍
It’s the brama bull nose ford! Thank you for the awesome content I admire your willingness not to give up! Also it’s a real nice moment riding on some Tennessee back roads in your old gal.
Love watching the likes and views thank u all for watching and helping Chad u guys rock God bless u all
Thank you for the lovely drive🇬🇧👍
a few reasons i like watching you. !i am from ct and after my mom died my aunt and uncle took me in, bottom line if my aunt alice could hear you talk, you say the same things and with his voice/accent as good ole uncle al.i love the old cranky guy.
on a side note i'm 70 aunt allice is still kicken
Outstanding job getting that poor truck running again As always I liked and shared. All my best.
Hello Chad I watch all of your video and I love them all
Love your channel...got my brother hooked on it too. I told him when you started that you wouldnt quit on it unless there was nothing else you could do. Its great and I know you never quit!!
Yep those Ford starter soloniods are known for being temperamental from new great perserverence does sometimes pay off great video keep her lit Chad
Love this channel ,I so wish I lived in states to find the cool old cars he finds and rescues ,love they are rescued ,very cool to see as hate the plastic crap on roads today
Amazing that you got her going again... fun video..tks
Just finished putting together a little Dodge D50 model kit, perfect time to sit back and watch some This N That!
You’re the vehicle whisperer! Chad! You are very skilled mechanic! Keep them coming! Always appreciate the time you take to make this happen! 👍
Love how you dont give up. That old girl was in rough shape. You have a diamond in the rough with that 351. Towards the end she sounded real good when running. Love those bigger Ford motors.
Having worked in a ford dealership years ago I know that those 351 Windsor motors had a habit of busting piston skirts so if you do get around to tearing that motor down Id be anxious to see what you find! any way I was glad that after all your hard work you finally got the old girl to run! Thats Awsome!
A great watch on a cold Friday evening in Christchurch New Zealand .Thankyou.
I love your termination in getting these old truck up and running again great job like always I really enjoy watching you
This one here is definitely a "resurrection", not a "will it run". Awesome video man. Keep it a goin
I Like Chad because He has that stick with it attitude and won't quit no matter what . You drove that truck home and thats what you said you wanted to do .I didn't know that it was as far , but that being done all you need now is a ride back to get your tools and truck . Till next time , take care , Ill be looking out for you , Stuart in Ontario ..
Very interesting 🤔 content. The ole girl gave her best on the last drive. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
Had one these new in 81...351 auto 4WD stepside.....1st new truck.... Traded for 3/4 crew cab 4X4...great truck ..been looking for another... Great video as always !
🙏👍Great job! nice to see any old vehicle on the road again, instead of sitting out on a field rusting away. Bless you for what you do, keep up the good work. I will be looking forward to your next video on this truck or any other projects. Thank you🚙
Quite the video with lots of grunts and groans trying to get the motor to turn over. Was VERY amazed at the size of the spider web from the dash to the front of the seat. Another good video. See ya next week.
Had every faith that you would get it running, well done again.
Im liking the Wednesday night, no other you tuber i watch is on at this time. Great work as always!!
Man I really enjoy the thing that you enchanted you take one and all that grass and I'm praying that you're trying to grow grow grow and grow man you are a miracle a wonderful man God bless you brother you have a great day and
Awesome video Chad!! Thanks for reviving this old Ford!! Ole Ferdinand gave you a good run for your money!!!
Chad the offset motor and the hole in the floor board Got me thinking that truck was probably a inline 6 cylinder and they used the motor mounts.
They was good trucks
What a rollercoster of a video! This car looks amazing! Would love to see it being used for it's purpose!
I've been patiently waiting....Thank you Chad!!!!
I have watched two of your videos so far and I have to say I love your determination with these stuck engines. I subscribed to your channel today. I am going to have to binge watch and get caught up! Thank you for the great content!
That camper shell has a over hangover. Nice to see you this morning. 😀
For me, you're the best mech I've watched so far. You are part of the engine and the whole vehicle. Fantastic! You're really awesome! 👍💞🤗
The FMX paired with a 351 W was usually in a mid 70's LTD. That would explain the power steering bracket as well. I had a 73 LTD with a 351W and the same bracket.
Those locusts make great fire wood, but they're the second hardest tree I've work with. The black locust thorn will tear you up and the wood itself eats chainsaw blades. The worst tree is the Russian Olive. Even worse poisonous thorns and crappy wood, though it does smell nice in the spring when it flowers. Same with the black locust.
C6 small bell housing pattern out of a half ton truck 3/4 ton yolks are bigger but 1/2 ton should fit that 351 w or a aod tranny to just make sure the aod is not out of a car as the yolk are different there smaller
Good.job. Nice truck Ford. F100 congratulations you show 😄👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the video. From Grandview Missouri.
I am glad you got the Ford going I hate it tore up before you got her home I enjoyed the video looking forward to the next one
Thanks for the video.Just amazing!
Those years of fix or repair daily had a lot of piston pin failure knocking. My dad's 81 had to have a piston replaced at 35,000 miles. I was always working on that POS. The 300 inline 6 sucked gas and had no power, but ran forever. I'm very surprised you got it running . I enjoyed the adventure.
Nice job sir! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
My favorite time of the week, and my favorite channel to watch! All ready for This N That to happen!
Great video, darn near made it home too. Can’t wait to see you rebuild that 351 motor, you’re quite talented. 👍🏻👍🏻
Man i love that ride home back roads usa and radio sound good to on ride home lol thanks chad ..ps i watched full video did not skip any ads or jump ahead ...saw 3 ads cant wait till next one
Truck definitely has potential.hope to see you working on it soon
That truck was born the same time I was😜I've also noticed those new starting solenoids, everybody's been buying them and they all get stuck sleeperdude, pole barn garage have been buying them and they do the same thing.... They just don't make stuff like they used to anymore
I was 6 when this truck was born. 😊
I want to Thank You for hard Work; and your work ethic.You show such a good Humor!!!
As expected, another great episode! I surely hope Wednesday is treating you better, and you continue to put out the unique content you do.
Keep up with the good work chad love you channel I know you can get this old truck fired up and running
Finally someone with a good head on his shoulders and is using a chain and pipe to try turn an engine instead of cracking off the crank bolt 👍👍👍
another great video! tanks a lot for your hard work making these! from a fella in indiana who likes old fords!
I must say that old ford just needed a good old fashion whooping! Nice job! Your videos are fantastic and I do enjoy watching them and listening to your commentary about the elements around you while working. Bees, wasps, spiders, all natural encounters while working in a field or outside in general. You show the truth good or bad when working on vehicles. 🚗
You guys sure are lucky to have such a beautiful country
And plenty of freedom,
We wouldn't get away with driving old wrecks over here in the UK.
Love watching you guys
It has potential to be a nice old truck after some work but it wants to live great job I really appreciate you doing all your awesome videos thanks
Thank you for another excellent video.
Great vid, I call this fine mobile...Bull ache ...thanks for sharing and not giving up 💪💨💨
You are amazing Chad definition that garage is still my favorite channel no matter what day it's on from Mr Larry
great job Chad 👍
enjoy the video very much. keep up the great work
Love these old utes..
Hey Chad, great story even with MLS haha, many thanks from UK.
When I opened my TV set for the latest news, all I saw is protests and wars. But when I opened my phone and watch yer mumblings about screws and Why Ford's stuck engines and marinating em, well , I feel peace, my man. Love country life, it's different.
Perseverance pays off. Got a love it.!
OHH YEAH!!! How bout that ole Square in the back round peeking out..LOL Hope shes the next one!! Awesome work sir!! A true pleasure watching!!!
I've had a couple of these old Ford's, and when they're working right. Love them. When they're not they give me a big ol headache. Just to let you know MLS gets everyone😅.
With patience and determination, you have it running.
