The plant surrounding the pickup is Japanese Knotweed, in the UK it's a real problem and is on the Invasive species list. Almost impossible to get rid of in the normal way! Interesting that you had a reaction to it's pollen.
Was just about to comment on this; Japanese knotweed is an invasive plant here in the states as well, not as prolific as in Britain from what I hear, but a very noxious plant nonetheless. I work for the Department of Natural Resources in the state of Michigan and have spent many summers treating Knotweed with herbicide. Nothing from my experience will completely eliminate this plant from a plot of land, those rhizomes just don't die.
I can picture some farmer uncovering that old Miller welder and going, "Huh. Wonder if this thing still works." Three days and 200 welding rods later a 4x4 Ranchero with no exhaust roars out of a dilapidated barn and into a field of kudzu, where it spins a bearing and sits for the next 20 years. Nothing stops reality dead in its tracks like a farmer with a stick welder.
You have sparked my interest I owned a 1965 a 1972 and a 1979 Ranchero that's a Brougham top of the line Interior there should be plenty of junkyards that have Ranchero Parts. Power seats. Power Windows Clock and Air. made from the LTD Ford Line. On a Bronco Frame I belive.
I love all your content, your video editing is spot on and your troubleshooting is second to none. I'll watch all your videos whether they run or not. All the best!
I forgot what other car used the floor pan stamping as the ranchero but I do know that that cool compartment behind the seats is actually the place where passengers would put their feet in the back seat of the other car that used those stamping’s. Maybe it was based on the ltd or wagon. I heard someone say that once, pretty cool.
Hey guys we had some scammers jump on here and try taking advantage of people. It doesn't seem anybody fell for their bs. They wanted $140 shipping for the jump pack giveaway. Just for future reference, never respond from any account that doesn't have the check mark next to it like this one does. This is the ONLY account I will ever comment back to anybody from. Anyone else is a scammer. Also if you're unsure or don't see the check mark, just click on their page and see what videos they have posted and such. I have since reported and blocked the impersonating scammer account.
They sent me a reply to my comment saying I was a winner for the prize giveaway and to text them. It's amazing what they can think of to steal money - wow
Update: Giveaway winner has claimed the Jump Pack. Congratulations Pilgrims Garage! (He was the 2nd random pick since the first guy didn't respond within 24hrs)
THANK YOU CHRIS!!! Your channel is inspirational to all who enjoy a challenge with anything mechanical. I love the content and your editing is spot on. Thank you again and I look forward to using the jump pack!
I don‘t usually comment on stuff but just had to this time, thank you for hours of awesome edutainment, both mechanically and language-wise (I watch to improve my English). I own a little farm in Bavaria and love tinkering with my old John Deere and Jeep there and I find your „no nonsense approach“ very inspiring, impressive how good you are in so many areas! Also you two are a lovely couple and isn‘t little Gus just adorable 😍! Keep up the good work and be in touch if you ever visit the Oktoberfest, would love to buy you guys a beer haha!
When you pulled out the PBG hat from under the Ranchero I damn near spit my drink out. I just finished watching his video where you stopped by to do some repairs. I love seeing y’all supporting each other’s channels.
Chris you rock! I haven't ever really cared for Rancheros but I was rooting for this one. Hope someone takes it up and brings her back around. Happy Fourth!!
It would have been cool to see if the engine HAD in fact turned over to see how far you would go with this specimen. As you said, they can't all be saved. Thanks for giving it a shot, however! I really like your channel, your content, your lifestyle, your sausage doggie, your pretty spouse! Thumbs up for it all!
Just wanted to say thank you for your channel. It's nice to see old thing being brought back to life. Keep it up..... P.S. I've been binge watching all of your videos...
Good morning Chris! Yup you can't win of of them, looks like a lot of water had gone into the cylinders. It is always nice to see Jen and Gus! I hope that everybody has an awesome 4th of July weekend! Thumbs UP man !!
Lots of action going on in this episode . Found pole barn garage too . Wow , you sure do get around , all the way to Missouri . We got to see miss Jen and our pal Gus . They’re always welcome . The Rancho , like the el Camino , were popular as motorcycle haulers and for many things , like carrying tools and supplies , for instance . Got to say though , this one deserved a look and was worth a try . Someone put their heart , blood , sweat and tears into this build . Got to admit , it would get a lot of attention by anyone whom would try to get to up and running . The concept is cool ; take your favorite car and mount it on a 4x4 chassis . In my junkyard days , I wanted to do something similar with a Dodge Dart . Sorry this one didn’t work out , we know your not one to quit . Admittedly , it needs special attention and a lot of time and dedication , and a lot of blood , sweat and tears . Appreciate your effort . Thanks for a great episode .
Always fun, especially when Jen and the puppy join in the fun. A family affair, keep the good times rolling. I was really hoping this car was salvageable., a classic.
Those body mounts are sure a treat for the eyes! Even if they can't all be runners, I appreciate your style of jumping around and showing a variety of projects. Happy Fourth!
I like your content! The fast pace and showing your progress is great. I like this concept of this Ranchero but too far of a haul at these gas prices. Keep it up!
Howdy! Recent subscriber here. I like to tinker with my 30 year old C2500 but always enjoy watching a master at work. Keep it up and happy 4th! Stay safe.
When you are unsure if it is a Cleveland or Modified, check the distance between the two top bell housing to engine bolts. The Cleveland with have the small block bolt pattern (4 inch between two top bolts) and the Modified will have the big block bolt pattern (6 inch between the 2 top bolts)
G'day mate you've got me here hope you go with it dude but I commented too early maybe ..love your channel mate "I LIKE IT " buddy your a cool dude .. love your little doggy GUS too bro ..all the best mate 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I legit check TH-cam everyday for a new vid from you man😂 you’re crushing it with your vids, look forward to hopefully some more hotrod/classics rescued🤙🏽
Appreciate you including your failures that’s respectable & you’re right you can’t save them all. Do you know if that’s a 351 Windsor or Cleveland in the Ranchero ?
You need to just make your own car/4x4 hybrid for the channel. Let Gus loose in the junk yard and whatever he picks, do you magic. Little tip. Let him loose near one you like.

In 1970 I was traveling through Pierre South Dakota and saw one at a farm supply store. It was about a 1958 body on a four wheeler chassis with about 33 tires. They had a nice paint job and the "O" was cutoff the Logo so it said "RANCHER." The only thing I couldn't understand was why it had an EDSEL front end!!!
Thanks for crawling thru the weeds and getting dirty for us again man!!! Love the show, great content & very entertaining…. Keep it up!! I ordered my NNKH lid!!
I love it. So awesome bro. A friend of mine had one of those when I was a younger man. It was a fast vehicle man. I hope you fix that bad boy up. Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
That's a Cleveland. Water neck on top of the intake, Windsor is in the front. Fuel pump bolts on 351C are top and bottom of pump, 351W on both sides of pump. I grab all the Cleveland stuff I can.
That PBG shameless plug was awesome his channel is actually what lead me to your channel so that was a crazy coincidence for me at least lol gotta love the car community
You do a awsome job I really enjoy watching because you never have a clue what you are going to try to get going way kool and keep up the great work and the puppy is great 👍
I have a 1978 ranchero, same style. This is the first one I have seen with both front parking light lenses (turn signal). I am resorting mine and have been looking for the drivers side. Color me jealous.
Hey Chris I think you gave it a valiant effort like you said you can't rescue every single vehicle and not every single vehicles going to start who knows how long that's been sitting there rusting away it's a neat concept of somebody had the time in the money to get that thing running and mess around with it fun to use this to bang around with
Cool Vid. There was a time in the late 70's early 80's here in the South West there were a lot of cars and car/pickup body's slapped on top of 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4WD chassis. Trucks were not plush like cars so you got both worlds combined!
Great video bud. Kind of new to the channel but after a couple of month in, it’s definitely one of my favorites. Everyone best of luck with the battery pack.

Just discovered your channel a few months ago and I am addicted. Great content, great variation of projects and excellent production level.
Me too.
I can picture some farmer uncovering that old Miller welder and going, "Huh. Wonder if this thing still works." Three days and 200 welding rods later a 4x4 Ranchero with no exhaust roars out of a dilapidated barn and into a field of kudzu, where it spins a bearing and sits for the next 20 years. Nothing stops reality dead in its tracks like a farmer with a stick welder.
Farmer would have just dropped the pan and put a new bearing in, not a set, just the bad one.
Welders make ideas "stick". All pun intended !!
I’m surprised we missed some duct tape and bailing wire.

One of my new favorite channels. I have been binge watching your content for a week. Thanks for all that you do!
Gotta love your enthusiasm most of us wouldn’t give that ranchero a second look , very entertaining thanks

I love the things you do to try to save a vehicle and I love the ranchero.
That ranchero body is great. Love the Elite body style, my Dad had one that was his pride and joy when I was born.
Great channel, excellent content. I look forward to more great WIR vids. Good luck on all the future endeavors! Keep up the work👍
The drivetrain is a 79 f250. Dana 60 axles, np435 trans, and np205 transfer case. Very desirable front high pinion dana 60.
Awesome. Thanks so much for the info

Good morning Chris! Yup you can't win of of them, looks like a lot of water had gone into the cylinders. It is always nice to see Jen and Gus! I hope that everybody has an awesome 4th of July weekend! Thumbs UP man !!
Always a bonus when Jen and Gus make an appearance.
Lots of action going on in this episode . Found pole barn garage too . Wow , you sure do get around , all the way to Missouri .

Great video . It’s to bad you couldn’t get the motor going I was really looking forward to seeing you drive that around
Love the channel. The content is always great. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Always fun, especially when Jen and the puppy join in the fun. A family affair, keep the good times rolling. I was really hoping this car was salvageable., a classic.
Gus is the real star of this channel! lol
Those body mounts are sure a treat for the eyes! Even if they can't all be runners, I appreciate your style of jumping around and showing a variety of projects. Happy Fourth!
Love the effort
Best part of my week is seeing the new video notification. Keep it up buddy!
Thanks, I enjoy the content!
Still the only channel that I'll like the video before watching it. Keep up the great work! Hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July!
Love PBG, Dalton is a riot. Great to see you two together, can't wait to see the Torino.
Also like SleeperDude
Another great video. Your quickly becoming my favorite youtube channel!
I like your content! The fast pace and showing your progress is great. I like this concept of this Ranchero but too far of a haul at these gas prices. Keep it up!
Howdy! Recent subscriber here. I like to tinker with my 30 year old C2500 but always enjoy watching a master at work. Keep it up and happy 4th! Stay safe.
Hey criss love the show! Watch every one and can't wait for the next. Thanks 🙂
When you are unsure if it is a Cleveland or Modified, check the distance between the two top bell housing to engine bolts. The Cleveland with have the small block bolt pattern (4 inch between two top bolts) and the Modified will have the big block bolt pattern (6 inch between the 2 top bolts)
I was about to go to sleep, not now!
Could really use that. Thanks for the chance.
G'day mate you've got me here hope you go with it dude but I commented too early maybe ..love your channel mate "I LIKE IT " buddy your a cool dude .. love your little doggy GUS too bro ..all the best mate 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
A new NNKH video! What a great way to end the week heading into the 4th of July weekend!
I legit check TH-cam everyday for a new vid from you man😂 you’re crushing it with your vids, look forward to hopefully some more hotrod/classics rescued🤙🏽
Nice try. Try, try again!
Another great effort! You constantly prove that just because someone tossed it aside doesn't mean it's done. Waste not, want not!
Appreciate you including your failures that’s respectable & you’re right you can’t save them all. Do you know if that’s a 351 Windsor or Cleveland in the Ranchero ?
Howdy CC! Nice to see you here! Have a great 4th weekend!
@@samvalentine3206 you too Sam
😄👍
It had the Cleveland
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow that’s the best 351 to have to build & that’s a good deal because the Cleveland’s are harder to find now than the Windsor’s are
I do love rancheros. And unique 4x4 conversions. Hopefully someone can do something with it.
You need to just make your own car/4x4 hybrid for the channel. Let Gus loose in the junk yard and whatever he picks, do you magic. Little tip. Let him loose near one you like.
I LOVE the look of the RANCHERO. Sweet!

Lol your second channel has more subs than your main channel 🤣🤣
De rancheoer er bare så fede jeg håber den bliver restaureret
Fill the cylinder woth vinegar for a couple days and then try to turn it over. Guarantee it comes free. Probably won't run but it will spin
you have scam comment problems
That ghia your girl was standing on was the real gold go back and check it out $$

I'M happy you showed this video
Chris, Keep the awesome videos coming. I've watched all of them NNKH.
Thanks for crawling thru the weeds and getting dirty for us again man!!!
Love the show, great content & very entertaining…. Keep it up!!
I ordered my NNKH lid!!
My man! Thanks so much for checking out the video and the support. Also thanks so much for ordering a hat!
Dude, I've only recently found your channel and it's all I've watched since! Please do the orange VW Karmann Ghia that Jen stands on on this video!
You had me at 12 seconds in with looking at the rusty roof totaly grown over "contemplating life decisions". I love it!!!!
Interesting car / truck, perfect size for the little puppy dog! The custom tin dash is, well, one of a kind. Great video, thanks!
I love it. So awesome bro. A friend of mine had one of those when I was a younger man. It was a fast vehicle man. I hope you fix that bad boy up. Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
That's a Cleveland. Water neck on top of the intake, Windsor is in the front. Fuel pump bolts on 351C are top and bottom of pump, 351W on both sides of pump. I grab all the Cleveland stuff I can.
iv been using pb blaster since I was a kid have always loved it
Great video. Had to chuckle at the PBG reference
Thanks for the video! I also love watching all of your videos!
Love the content! Wanted to see you get the ranchero running
Great video to show where everything doesn't go as planned!! Great content!!
I’m watching from the uk . I love your channel, you’re the man 👍🏻👍🏻
Entertaining vid, as usual. You had me going for a minute with the hat gag. I'll have to check those guys out.
Love the PBG plug… I’m here due to his plug to your channel.
Great video!
Very good show. You know when to throw in the towel!
Absolutely love ur videos!! Nnkh for life
My man! Thanks for the support Jason
“Enjoy your weekend of freedom” Amen. Chris is the man.
Excellent video as always. It's nice to see someone showing that you can't fix everything in a day.
You're videos are always top notch.....thanks
That PBG shameless plug was awesome his channel is actually what lead me to your channel so that was a crazy coincidence for me at least lol gotta love the car community
Great channel. Always looking forward to another video. Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work. Love these videos.....even if they don't run.
I wish we could get PB Blaster in Australia. That stuff looks amazing !
Great video !! Love this channel and that 351 clev. is probably worth the 650 if it's not terminal ...
Awesome video Chris. Love the pacing to your edits 👍🏻
You do a awsome job I really enjoy watching because you never have a clue what you are going to try to get going way kool and keep up the great work and the puppy is great 👍
The man 1. Good. 4. 2. You
I have a 1978 ranchero, same style. This is the first one I have seen with both front parking light lenses (turn signal). I am resorting mine and have been looking for the drivers side. Color me jealous.
Great video love the tundra hope to see more videos of it soon and the bass dumpster
Hey Chris I think you gave it a valiant effort like you said you can't rescue every single vehicle and not every single vehicles going to start who knows how long that's been sitting there rusting away it's a neat concept of somebody had the time in the money to get that thing running and mess around with it fun to use this to bang around with
Found you with the "Will it Start" search on youtube...great pace-editing-and content! Love Gus!!
First time watching your channel. I like your go gettem attitude. Just subscribed and look forward to more videos!
Cool Vid. There was a time in the late 70's early 80's here in the South West there were a lot of cars and car/pickup body's slapped on top of 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4WD chassis. Trucks were not plush like cars so you got both worlds combined!
I had hoped that the Ranchero was a runner. I love the truck body on vehicles like the Ranchero and El Camino. Thank you.
Great video bud. Kind of new to the channel but after a couple of month in, it’s definitely one of my favorites. Everyone best of luck with the battery pack.
nice pole barn garage plug!!! love the videos Chris. can't get them all running. like that you include gus too. do you guys ever see Leo anymore?
