That was a great revival!.....Imagine sitting all those years, and running so well once she got goin'. Always nice to see Miss Daisy.🐕 Very enjoyable video..
That's what my dad had back in the '60's! I used to sit on the engine cover, no seat belt, no airbags just windshield to catch you in a wreck! Cool find!
Only live once😏
Ahh !! The good old days!🙂
My pops had one also. I was sitting on my moms lap on the passenger side. Pops made a hard left and for some reason, mom and I fell out LoL. I'll never forget it. The good ole days
Same here, that was the best seat in the winter time.
Had a 64 , was in our shop ready to get painted,, guy needed cash,got it for like 800 bux after it got painted,,, drove the snot out of it …lots of cool trips with friends that unfortunately aren’t around anymore,,
After seeing the wear inside the cylinders and considering it’s sat for over 40 years, that van runs great!
Nice! A 1964 Econoline was my first vehicle, bought used in 1970 for $65. The sound of that engine sure brought back memories!
That's about 500 bucks in today's money. You can't get so much as a rust eaten frame for that these days.
Nope I had a 83 g20 5 lug GMC van dura 305 vin h th400 no clean title had a title salvage mileage exempt from the dealer that sold it used for parts... still cost me and my uncle $950 for a 114k 84 GMC van, and other than the front doors were rusted out at the bottom and so were the rear doors... It was worth that to us for the th400 transmission and the 4 GMC rally wheels beaty rings and GMC center caps and fairly decent bfg radial ta tires
Anyways we cut the floor out of the van to pull the motor and transmission..
Chad....
You can't possibly put these videos out fast enough!
I' can't get enough... I'm a 74 year old mechanic and you are awesome and
at times comical to watch. 👍 Great job!
Preshate it. 👍
Unbelievable, 44 years off the road, get it running, hook up a temporary fuel system, pull it out of the hole then immediately drive it on the road. Great work and a great video again. Well done Chad.
It's just AMAZING what you can actually get to START after decades of being let to rot out in the woods!!! That old jelopy in Fat Albert's junkyard can actually be made to not only start, but RUN !!!
Had a 1962 Econoline I bought in 1970 for 300 bucks (old telephone truck). Drove it for 11 years had 90000 miles when I bought it and 240000 miles when I sold it for 100 bucks. 6 months later I had a head on collision in my big Chevy car - thank heavens it didn't happen in that truck!!!!!
back in the mid to late 70's/ early eighties, i used to goto work with my dad when he worked at uhaul. one time we were takin ona those from one uhaul to another haulin somethin or other, i cant remember and the shift linkage to the trans fell apart in the middle of winter in about 6 inches of slushy nasty snow. It had to be in the twenties outside, wind a blowin the works and my poor padre was under there freezin his ass off with me tryin to help him on the side of the hwy gettin splashed by slush the whole time. I learned alotta new words that day. As miserable as we were, i still think fondly on that memory cause we busted our butts to get to the destination soaked and freezin. ona my prouder moments. i was 8 or 9 i think. It did have heat i think but oh what a trip! Sweet home chicago! Thanks for bringin back that memory brother
I have a soft spot for the Fords from the early 60s. Thanks for giving them a new lease on life!
That's a gem ! I love those old Ford Econoline's !
Back in high school in the late 70's, I always wanted to an old Econoline on Cragars or Keystone Classics and cruise around town with Ted Nugent Stranglehold blasting on the stereo. Lol
Huge fan of the look of the old vans and station wagons. That was fun to watch.
My jaw dropped. My late father was in the air force where he learned electronics and then was in the tv business for over 40 years. Talk about coincidence.
My 1st vehicle in high school was a 66 Econoline. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
I’m fixin to turn 60 in a few days. Your videos brings back lots of memories. This Chanel is great. Please keep up the content. Blessings from Clyde Texas
Great video I am 66 years old and like ever body my age I had couple of them. Old vans I remember there was body 10 of use one night riding round in it and it quit on use we had to push it up school house hill and cost back down to in town where my buddy's 57 4 door Chevy car was thanks for the video and the memories. 😂 P.S.that z71 sounding great to
Miracle to get that thing out of there to run and drive! “Very impressive” as Project Farm would say. Take a break and let your knees heal before you take on another challenge.
I had a 69 and 72 Econoline, both died of body cancer, but the engines were solid. The 69's master cylinder fell off first, then the steering box. The 72's steering box fell off just before the driver's side door mounts rusted off! Victims of Canadian winters and salted roads. Over 50,000 miles on backwoods logging roads beat them down.
I'll say this right here, 2 minutes into the video. You haven't cleaned it up yet at all, but the bumps on the rear where those round tail lights sit, that little tiny hump that comes out boy oh boy that is probably the sexiest part of those old vans.. They surely don't make them like that anymore, and I"m real happy to see that here this week for your video!!
Love those vans. We had a 64 Econoline cargo van with doors on left, right and rear, and a knob that activated 4 way flashers. I was 9 when my dad got it in 1970. It had a 240-6 and 3 on the tree.
I'm just glad that you got the old girl running again. It was fun watching. Good luck with the next one.
One really good way to magnetize your screwdrivers, wrap a wire around your screwdrivers a bunch of times like a coil from one end to the other and tap a 12 Volt battery.. Instantly magnetized!😜Some old timer taught me that years ago it works really good
The rain on the metal roof really makes this video
I just got a 69 Econoline supervan back on the road this past week after sitting 23 years.
Me and the wife took it this evening to get groceries at Wally world.
Awesome!
Good to see you Fella
Really nice old Ford vans no blind spots with all those windows good old vans
I like the stories behind the vehicles you revive. Thank you!
Look at that tree grown around the old girl! That's a good one. You know they've been there a minute. Loved the Marvin the martian voice at the 1 hour mark
Always a solid hour-plus of entertaining nostalgia!
Your very brave man taking on these projects I'm amazed at how you go about things and it all seems logical when you explain them even tho it's rough methods. Love it all. Bloody brilliant to watch your videos.
Spoke too soon and looked like a doomus I went to comment and ask for a pressure washing video and should’ve just waited and known that you’d deliver thank you for the incredible content again sir
Its times like this, when I would love to still be a kid. Age 12 me would fit in that van better than current me.
I don’t care what anybody says you can’t beat made in America , God I love this country 🇺🇸
Great adventure. Thanks for sharing .
I love the way you find the old good ones & even though you struggle sometimes, it keeps it real. Keep up the great work!
That was one of the hardest fought battles I've ever seen.
But he won in the end, and the van to I guess.
Thats awsome..great to see the old van moving again
Great Job I love these old vans👍
Have you ever tried MMO into the spark plug holes, leave overnight, start the next day? Also remove valve covers and pour some all over in there, re-install valve covers, let sit overnight and start up the next day? MMO is some kind of Marvel Cleaning fluid Kind Sir :)
Thank you for bringing us along with you and for always making a feller smile. ⛽👍⛽
I do believe if someone gave you a rock/stone big enough you could sculpt out the statue of David inside of it. Totally impressed.
I hope you are able to keep it. My Dad had a 69 dodge A100 3 on the tree straight six. These rigs run forever.
That was great, your tenacity paid off. Cheers This N that.
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for another , Brother !
Well, well, well, thanks Chad for another great Saturday morning!! Your videos always put a smile on my face and are a great way to start the weekend!!
Great to see the old van on deck again. Hard to kill those Old Ford 6 cylinders!!
Getting that natural camouflage off of it really made it look better
Awsome little van..
Thank you Sir for another great revival video. Totally enjoyed you getting this 61 ford Cab Over running.
I enjoy and watch all of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
"LIKE!" You earned it this time brother.
Nice work This N That!
The engine sounds great!!
I was yelling at my computer "START!!!!!!" I love this vid!
One of your best
what feelings you bring to mind of the times when those cars and trucks younget runnning again its like you bring something to the table thats been forgotten back to life. kind of makes you think of the people thats been lost in time! Warms my heart SEMPER FI
Pretty amazing shape for as long as it sat. Good job and another great episode.
It's good folks like you that are going to get us through whatever apocalypse that's in store. I pray there's someone like you near when that day comes. I make a heck of a cup of coffee.
I saw stuff on this one that I've never seen before!! I can't believe it ran after that long.
Well done sir, well done !
That was very cool! Brings back memories of when ,back in 1970 a friends dad had one of these vans in the back field. we got it going and drove it around.we were 10!!
Again, a great Southern Charm video of man's determination to make something run! Had me laughing and watching with great interest! Love your videos, please don't stop.
Great job 👏
good job. enjoyed it
That's a cool old van. It's pretty neat that it's still got his name on the side. I like that old straight six, 3 on the tree combo. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Great video. Some of these old vehicles just make you reminisce.
I have a love of those Ford vans and wish I still had both of the ones I owned back in the 70's!
Truth is our first child our daughter was created in the first van!LOL
love these old rigs keepem commin well keep watchin lol
Another fun adventure!
Love this One. Reminded me of my First Van(1953 Ford Econoline). It also had a 6 cylinder in it! Ran great until I had 1 too many martoonies and gunned it until one of the pistons departed out the side of the engine Block! Keep them coming would love to see more on this Van!
Very much enjoyed the video keep making them thank you for your time making it
this is this and that for that and this appreciated by yall
Very beautiful video and story behind it, them Ford vans never die.
Great episode
I would absolutely love to have one of these vans for camping and POWER TOUR!
So satisfying 💖
Nice Job !!!
Good work, I didn’t think it would ever start
👍Good stuff. Glad that old feller is still sharp & sharing stories. Best to him. I remember in the 70s my dad had 2 old Dodge vans like this. He made 1 good 1 outta 2! Swapped engines & we took it on a road trip from KY to Alabama w/ no issues. Also recall him filling a glass Pepsi bottle w/ water & slowly pouring into carburetor in effort to remove some carbon. Dad had some old tricks up his sleeve too. Good video. Git ‘er done! 👍🇺🇸
I’ve had a ‘62, ‘65 & ‘67. I only have two now. One for parts, one running (mostly) 😁
Great video !! They keep getting better !!!!
Got one of those "green light" tubes in my dad's old radio. When the lines converged that indicated the station was tuned in
Great vid, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
I used to own one same motor, drove it for years. Does me good to see one again.
In love watching your videos and I can feel how you feel when you work on something and things take you longer , but I love the way you laugh at yourself as I do the same this from New Zealand
That was a fun one.
Good job!
