This truck certainly deserves a full restoration including brakes and a very good carb. The inner tube trick was very shrewd and worked! Thanks to all who got this vehicle out of the hole, running after years of dormancy, and all cleaned up. In fact there may be some people who press metal floor pans for vehicles as a business. My Dad's company truck was showing the pavement by his feet so he had a guy down the street weld a pan to get him by. Not factory but very good.
YOU FOLKS DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS TRUCK,, IT TOOK A WHILE BUT SHSES ALIVE!!! WE HOPE SHE GOES TO A GREAT NEW HOME.... NOW WE ARE WAITING TO SEE YOUR GREAT OLD 50S CARS,, SORRY FORGOT HER NAME,.. SEE YA!! CHRISTINA AND RICHARD....
My first vehicle was a ‘66 Ford F-250; 352 V8 and a 4-speed floor shift. $500. That motor was strong. This was 1973. You guys have a wonderful program and I hope young people watch how you methodically go through a vehicle and get it running!
Richard and Christina, you 2 should be extremely proud. You brought this old beautiful truck from the grave to restorable through sheer grit and determination. That long bed is gorgeous. You are an inspiration to so many of us. God bless and be well.
wonderful to see you guys working so well together not scared to get a bit dirty you guys breathe life back into these old cars cheers from Melbourne Australia
What you've got all over your amazing that it's alive truck are called Lichens (pronounced "LIKENS") for any viewers that have not had the pleasure of getting these very tough plants stuck on to a vehicle, or anything else that grows on it for 20+ years! I HAVE had the pleasure, and these (I forgot what the basic type of Lichen group they belong to is called) I just call pains in buttox. You folks are brave, and I applaud you! Thumbs UP!
I take that back it's going to need some wet dry sandpaper and some comet and some bleach. And afterwards sand the body down with some electric sander and then primer the body
This was a tough one for sure. Just a multitude of issues. Thanks Richard and Christina . For all the work getting this old truck out of the grave. The algae was so thick on it. This may be a 3 part restoration. To get it running properly. The stainless cleaned pretty well. Your a great team. Not a lot of rust in the rocker panels.congratulations on the save. 💯👍👊
Richard, you brought that lovely truck back to life. I enjoyed ever minute of your videos. Saved this Ford from a early death. Christina when is Richard going to get you one of those shops truck jacket so you wont get all dirty from working so hard. All you need is it the name of your channel WHAT THE RUST embroiled on the back of the jacket. Richard you need the same. Your views will go up. If I did not purchase a 1963 VW and fixed it up and had someone painted it that was not good I would have found a truck like that since there so much enjoyment to work on. Not complicated as todays cars. I see when things go wrong you always have a positive attitude. Thankful you care for your work even thou its difficult at times you push through and never give up from a car that could be going to a crusher. You are blessed to have Christina with you and enjoying the work as much as you are. God Bless the two of you. I only wish I could go one day with you but at 63 and not driving it would be hard. I am not that far away from you a state away.
I had the identical truck, except it was a 65 Camper Special. 352, 4 speed, bought it from the original owner. He had parked it for 20+years...I filed the points, lubed the cylinders, put a battery in it, and it fired right up! I drove it for many years, and sold it last year. Brings back memories! Great job in saving her!
Mr. B. Here ! 👀☕️☕️🍩🍩😎👍. Morning & Happy Labor Day . Many other gear heads have stated new vehicles of today will never get a 2nd life I agree . The simple vehicles can be with work & money can be retrofitted & returned to the road ! Nice job !
FAR away here in AFRICA ..... SOUTH AFRICA , PLACE BY NAME OF BENONI , PROVICE GAUTENG( TRANSVAAL).. WELL DONE . Always wanted a Ford 150 , 250 BAKKIE we cal them truck you call them. send me this baby I will complete them the job that you and Christina have worked so hard . LOVE YOUR PROGRAM> BEST OF LUCK LOVE YOU BOTH
Love those old Ford pickups, sad that here in Australia they have all just about gone to the crashers, very rare to see one , love your work on getting her running again, cheers mate 👍🇭🇲
your wife is an angel! we need more women like her that are willing to actually get involved in the automotive hobby. most women don't give a crap about cars but she stays involved which is rare!
Good video, a lot of work gone into that to bring it back around. Looks great, a lot of work to do but it will be a nice old truck. Well done Richard and Christina 😊
Truck is 65 or 66. First year of twin I-beam front suspension. Has the RARE option of door mounted pocket panels (and they are intact) Hood came off '62-64 by hood side mouldings and hood ornament denotes Inline 6 with lightening bolt symbol.
Yall amaze me with your efforts to preserve originality of these vehicles. If it were me I would have went right to sand blasting & primer but you made it look great just by washing. IMO the hood needs a white primer & a coat of Flood.
Thanks for the support! I have spent some time in the UK, and I know exactly what you mean. The MOT is such a hassle. Even if trucks like this existed, they would never be driven.
On paint like that, it really doesn't matter how you do it. next time, spray it with bleach and water and let it dry. then do it again and let it dry. do it a 3rd. time and then, while wet, start pressure washing. the green will start disappearing and the black will come off easier. The powered up paint will also come off but if you use the buffer when done pressure washing and a good cleaner wax you may even get some shine outa what's left. Great video as always.
The best time to power wash anything is after a long rain storm or a long hossing down and let water soften grime/mold/crap. I usually sdoak. Got to another pronect for sbout hour. Then if needed i put lawn sprinkler on vehicle. Guaranteed works after second hour. With no scrubbing
Holy smokes that truck is so black and white that's amazing awesome job u three that is one piece of art at least Richard didn't have to go under the truck 101 times this time love love love u 2 channel u 2 should start doing some merchandise like tshirts o would totally buy some all the cars u safe put a picture of them on the back and what the rust on the front 😊 thank u thank u for sharing ur time us viewers ❤😊
Thanks for the feedback, and the support, Tanner. We are working on the merchandise and even have a prototype of a shirt with the 52 Chevy, Lula, on it. I hope we will be ready with shirts and hats very soon.
That truck cleaned up nice and even with the rust spots It looks awesome. I'm not A FORD guy but man that old truck came out looking great. Fantastic job with her.
What a great tow rig this truck would make. You both did great work on the truck. It looks way better. Could really make a good ride out of it with a few bucks and some time. Awesome job taking a truck from a grave yard to something workable.
Just when I think ya cant bring home or work on something worse than the last one Darned if you go for it. I tell ya In 60 years of messing with these old ones I have NEVER seen a brake drum rusted completely through That first one came close to kicking your back side but I was impressed you kept at it and got it outa that mud pit on its own power. Keep it up Rick and Christina
Another excellent job,the both of you made that truck into a every day driver,and it sounds good,even with the bad carb,you made it work,I live in Houston Co Tn,don't know how you you guys work on that truck with the humidity being so high,I did some work on a car saturday,I was soak with sweat after about an hour,you guys look nice and dry. again excellent job
Saludos. Excelente video. Quedó

That truck fought the whole way! You guys are super nice peeps👍 thanks for hanging in there!

Wonderful. Nothing like an old Ford pickup.
Right on!
I admire you both for your tenacity. You work in all adverse weather and conditions.
Thank you. We try to not let weather stop us, but sometimes it does,
Looks great! That was a lot of work to get that thing clean, but worth the effort. Nice job.

That old Ford sure stands up strong! No sag or twist to her!
Hope someone restores her to as close to original as possible!
It sold the next day, so I think it is headed to a better life. Thanks for watching!
Great to hear!@@whattherust
Love those old Ford pickups, sad that here in Australia they have all just about gone to the crashers, very rare to see one , love your work on getting her running again, cheers mate 👍🇭🇲
Thank you Andrew.
Great clean up, what a transformation!
Thanks!
Great video! I really liked seeing the before and after photos at the end. The Ford came out great after a thorough cleaning.
Thanks for watching. I agree, the photos really show the difference.
Great rescue!
And I see the good luck milk bottle made an appearance. Lol
Awesome job y'all.
Thanks Gary! The milk bottle performed flawlessly!
Looks great guys 👍
Thanks!
Wow the truck was grubby. It looks fantastic guys well done to all of you- Simone
Thank you Simone. Grubby is the perfect word to describe it.

A red stripe and its patriotic patina

Simple green diluted as pre soak. Will lill that dirt ptonto
your wife is an angel! we need more women like her that are willing to actually get involved in the automotive hobby. most women don't give a crap about cars but she stays involved which is rare!
Yes, she is great and is genuinely interested in the bobby.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Amazing transformation. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the support. More videos coming!
Always love your videos it's always great time 😁😁😁
Thanks for the support Mary.
I absolutely love this error of Ford pickups! Other than some much needed front end body work it's a great track!!
Right on
Stellar job. Looking good.
Thanks very much.
Good video, a lot of work gone into that to bring it back around. Looks great, a lot of work to do but it will be a nice old truck. Well done Richard and Christina 😊
Thank you Andy!
You persevered and it paid off, happy for you guys. Keep up the hard work and great video's!
Thanks for the support Kev!
You guys amazing. Work hard but it’s worth it.
Thanks for the support. It was worth it.
Truck is 65 or 66. First year of twin I-beam front suspension. Has the RARE option of door mounted pocket panels (and they are intact)
Hood came off '62-64 by hood side mouldings and hood ornament denotes Inline 6 with lightening bolt symbol.
Good job guys!
Thanks Tim!
I love the red white and blue patena on the hood 👌👍♥️🇺🇲
I agree. It looks great!
Yall amaze me with your efforts to preserve originality of these vehicles. If it were me I would have went right to sand blasting & primer but you made it look great just by washing. IMO the hood needs a white primer & a coat of Flood.
I love Flood. Much better and cheaper than other products.
Loving these vids.. I'm from the UK and just live seeing your old vehicles coming to life. This wouldn't happen in the UK.
Thanks for the support! I have spent some time in the UK, and I know exactly what you mean. The MOT is such a hassle. Even if trucks like this existed, they would never be driven.
Good job guys 👏👏
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I would have loved to buff it a bit. I agree we could have gotten some shine out of it.
wow what a transformation great work ya'll. God bless
Thanks! You as well.
Great job Team. Amazing how far a bit of elbow grease can go!
So true. We just kept at it until it was done. The truck sold the next day.
Good job guys. Looks good!
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
Great vid , think you needed a scrubbing brush , great teamwork, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
Thanks Darren. We did try a brush, but it didn't work very well.The SOS pads did the trick, along with a Scotchbright pad.
Great job! Love the channel!
Thanks very much Jeff!
Well, I think that with a lot of time, hard work, and $$ this old truck is going to come back to life, run really well, and look good.
Right on.
The best time to power wash anything is after a long rain storm or a long hossing down and let water soften grime/mold/crap. I usually sdoak. Got to another pronect for sbout hour. Then if needed i put lawn sprinkler on vehicle. Guaranteed works after second hour. With no scrubbing
Definitely a cool old truck! Would make a great daily driver....or completely restore! Awesome work, Richard and Christina! 👍👍👍👍😎 Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the support David. This truck made me crazy multiple times!
A can of comet or Ajax would help clean it. Never mind the paint. It will act like compound.
Y’all did a great job on this truck!
Thank you!
Holy smokes that truck is so black and white that's amazing awesome job u three that is one piece of art at least Richard didn't have to go under the truck 101 times this time love love love u 2 channel u 2 should start doing some merchandise like tshirts o would totally buy some all the cars u safe put a picture of them on the back and what the rust on the front 😊 thank u thank u for sharing ur time us viewers ❤😊

The lines of this truck are beautiful. Would have been a shame for it to rot away. Nice save.👍🇺🇸
Right on!
That truck cleaned up nice and even with the rust spots It looks awesome. I'm not A FORD guy but man that old truck came out looking great. Fantastic job with her.
Thanks very much. We agree! It has a great look now.
I'm a ford guy to the end all cars need work sooner are later
What a great tow rig this truck would make. You both did great work on the truck. It looks way better. Could really make a good ride out of it with a few bucks and some time. Awesome job taking a truck from a grave yard to something workable.
Thank you my friend. You know, the truck sold the very next day!
@@whattherust now that is awesome what some time and elbow grease can do.
Man! What a battle!
It sure was.
Good looking truck. I'd drive it the way it looks, even the blue hood
Right, that blue hood looks great!
super job mates that will make a good utility
Right on
Good Job to both of you I'm sure someone will buy it.
Thanks Robert. The truck sold the very next day!
@@whattherust That's Great 👍
Just when I think ya cant bring home or work on something worse than the last one Darned if you go for it.

Keep it up Rick and Christina
Thanks Mark! I had never seen a brake drum rusted through either. Crazy what this truck has been through.
Beautiful

True Mark, the humidity has been tough. I am glad it is almost over. Thanks for watching!
