TheCraig909 purchased this barge of a truck just a few short months ago and stored it at my place. In this video we're trying to thrash a truck together to make it to Holley Ford Fest! Only problem is this truck has been sitting for 21 years, and man does it show it. Think we can make it on time? Stick around to find out.

What’s the story with the Cordoba. What’s going on with itn
30 second,s in to the video I noticed a police car next to it,why don't you see if you can try to get that one working.
your a pick, you rubbish Ford???? Ford is my religion, hey dip zhit do you know the most successful car of all time is the model T Ford, did you know the most successful race car of all time is the Ford sierra rs Cosworth, did you know the Ford has more race wins than all other manufacturers combined? so why are you laughing after saying Fords , GM needed help from u.s government to survive Ford stood on its own feet, whats the most iconic american car, the Ford mustang, whats the number 1 selling vehicle in America for decades?? Ford F150, whats the number 1 selling pick up in Australia and new Zealand for the past 15 years ? Ford Ranger, what car have i been driving since 2008? a1991 Ford EB Falcon Fairmont, whats under the hood aka bonnet??? a FORD 351 Cleveland thats modified like a beast, ive had it since 2002 with no issues , what v8 sounds better? Ford V8s ,once again your just a smart mouth kunt
I’m going to post a video on the ‘58 Plymouth shortly. This video was just finished beforehand, so please be patient. Thanks everyone!
Lol, Ok will do.
hey Dylan i know where a crew cab International truck is, and its not very far from you
I forgot Alaskan Bush People comes on tonight a new episode
U read my mind cause I was just about to ask about the Fury lol 😎
I know I'm guilty of asking about the Plymouth also but we can't help it Dylan we all love her just like Arnie loved CHRISTINE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I guess I'm officially old. When he said that it had been sitting for 21 years, I was thinking that I didn't know they had window tint like that back then...you know, with 21 years ago being some time in the mid 1970s. Nope. 21 years ago is 2001. Where'd the time go?
I know the feeling, it 21 years ago, you mean 1980s, nope😆
As a young'un the old'uns said time speeds up as your ass starts looking like a melted candle. Now I'm older, by god they were right.
Welcome to the jungle baby! Time stops for nobody... man nor beast. 🤔⏳👍🏻

Best truck I ever owned 69 F250 4-speed 2 wheel drive single cab unbelievably dependable but the Wisconsin rust ate it up.
Now I have an 87 F250 460 5 speed 4 wheel drive Locker rear end 8 ft Western Plow 56,000 original miles
Love the old Ford design. I miss seeing them vs new electronic junk.
They used to call those a Crew Cab way back when. 99.99% of these were stripper level trim because the railroad or power company didn't want fancy.
Back when crew cabs were for crews and not groceries! Interesting enough, the SuperCab option seemed to be targeted more for the family user rather than the crew version! I guess children didn't need legroom in the 70's! 🤣
That's nuts. I was looking through my video suggestions and I saw what looked like you and Craig found almost identical trucks. I started watching this one first. Low and behold it's the same truck! Back to watching how you two fair on getting it running 😂
360's all magically turn into 390's when they are getting sold! Some even turn into 428 SCJ's! those ones are super special!
In 1964 Dodge sold some trucks with the 426 Wedge rated at 360 horsepower.
@@spaceflight1019 didn’t know that but you could order pretty much anything back then. I’m sure it was closer to 450ish since the later 426 hemisphere were over 500
There is some irony in your statement that 360s would magically turn into 390s when a truck was up for sale. Sometimes, it wasn't magic at all. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, it was common for Ford to experience union strikes at the various odd assembly plants. In order to keep production going, it was not uncommon to find that Ford installed a 390 in place of a 360. In the past, people have also found that their FE engine was actually a 410 and not a 390 or a 360. How did that work? The crank from a 428 would be installed in place of one for a 390 thus creating a 410. It was all about keeping vehicles moving down the line so that there was something sitting on the dealer lots for people to buy. While the odds are very low that you'll find an engine installed from the factory that is not what was supposed to be there, it isn't that uncommon either. What I would do is check the VIN and decode it. The matching VIN from the door plate should be stamped on a pad at the back of the engine on top of the block. The engine code should be the 4th from the left in the form of a letter and for 1969 the codes are:
240 I-6 A
300 I-6 B
302 V-8 G
390 V-8 H
360 V-8 Y
Obviously, Ford didn't advertise a factory 428 in a 1969 model year truck but they certainly did the 360 and the 390. So how can you tell for sure what you have without disassembling the engine? You use the "dowel test". What's that? You install a very narrow dowel or a stiff wire such as that of a coat hanger into one of the cylinders through the spark plug hole to measure the stroke in order to determine what you've got in displacement. You have to be fairly accurate but the test works. Peace & good vibes! ✌🏻📏🇺🇸
- Max Giganteum
@@MaxGiganteum I read about this, I think it was on Barn Finds. The stampings on the block will tell you the as-built displacement, IIRC.
Not necessarily... what is stamped still may not match up with what the engine really has for displacement. The only for sure thing you can do to find out is to measure and do a little math. Best wishes! 👍🏻🧮👨🏻🏫

As a fellow Mopar fan, my channel is filled with dodges/plymouth/chryslers! Always got to appreciate the other brands though. This ole Ford truck was really cool to see and enjoyed the video man.
This week: Dylan McCool guest-stars in "Johnny Bravo and the Super-Mullet" for another exciting round of name that smell.
"21 years off the road..."
My brain: so, since the 80s?
Wait, it's 2022.
Frak I'm getting old... lol
God I love the early ford's, they just look awesome with the body lines! Awesome find, can't wait to see where u go with this!
Agreed, they don't have the style they used to. So if you've got 1, cherish it👍🏻
@@R.Sole88109 it's not nearly as nice in style, but I LOVE my 03 F150 King cab, I believe it's the last year before the square style appeared
I never thought it would not run again, after all it is a Ford! #1 selling Truck for over 30 years!
Cómo decimos en Argentina, "si es Ford, tiene que arrancar" 👏👏👏
It's great to see you and Craig working together. It's great that you let him store the truck there. Love both your channels.
we love the FE engine and have a fe 390 in a 80s tbird and a 482 stroker with turbo in a fairlane
Soy de Argentina y te encontré por instagram, que gran trabajo!! Quedé alucinando cuando arrancó tan bien!! Sin duda las Ford son una locura! Fierro puro, me encantó el video, sigan así por favor y Dios los bendiga
What happened to the 58 Plymouth
You inspired me to get a project truck and get it running. After a few weekends got my 1986 F150 with the 302 EFI runnin again. Got some more work to do before i feel comfortable driving it around the parking lot (mostly the brakes). Cant wait for the next revival!
Congratulations on getting your truck running.👍🏻
Now you've gave her some attention and 💰
she'll want more😉
Now, THAT was a COOL video! Dylan, you're a heck of a friend. Craig is a cool cat and I'm happy to see you guys doing a "revival" together. Can't wait to see the follow up! God bless.
I was so hoping this truck was going to stay on the east coast. I'm in NC and would have loved to see it. Awesome acquisition for the Cali man.
Looking forward to this build and updates! Exciting collaboration, hanks for keeping it family friendly!
Always a pleasure to see you do a renovation like this Dylan, and you always keep it classy! That is a beautiful beast of a truck, for sure.
Luv seeing these ole Fords come back to life!!
What happened to the Plymouth??
Hello Dylan and The Craig. On the 69f250 that wash was epic time and too strenuous. Ida took to car wash and sprayed all with tire cleaner and brush... It works. Specially on white paint
Enjoyed! Thank you Dylan McCool & company.
I usually install chrome valve covers before installing a used oil filter as well.
Love this year of Ford pickup. Such a nice looking design.
I'm already subbed to Craig's channel and am now emotionally invested in the U.S.S. F 2 fiddy
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤️❤️
KS was the good 'ol Kelly Springfield company, which primarily made tires and was owned by Goodyear. I grew up around the plant outside of Freeport, IL.. They had plants in Ohio and Maryland, so it might have been more regional areas where those tires and belts were more readily sold. Either way, good stuff!
always love it when yall team up on stuff i was getting ready to watch this and i looked over to the right and said huh the craig is working on a truck that looks like this one bout the time he walked out of the trees
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
This is a super sweet truck. Great find, great Collab to get it running again. I'm following it on Craig's channel to see how it turned out.
If I could work on trucks, I would totally turn a long bed version of a truck like this one into a retro meets modern super luxury SUV....basically, it would be kind of like a 1960s, or 1970s, interpretation of a 2000s Ford Excursion.
These videos are so fulfilling... good to see we still have good boys in our nation doing cool stuff.
Thank you, guys. God bless.
Great job callaborating with 909 team work makes the dream work
well I have a 1989 Ford XLT Lariat and I am the third owner and this truck has never died on me once and it can haul a ton not just a half ton and I have done it over and over. The 5.0 Liter V8 has 160,000 miles on it and the engine has never been worked on. My truck has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. So never look down your nose at a Ford truck because some one left it to rot in a field for 21 years. Those of us who take care of our trucks never have a problem its only when they are neglected do you have problems.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤️❤️
My friends dad had an early 80s ford that we all called the cowboy caddy... it was not only a a 4 door but it was a 3rd party conversion company built truck so it had what I'd call an extended cab 4 door kinda like a dodge mega cab but a bit bigger where it had an extra 3rd row seat in it and the 2nd seat could fold down where it touched the back seat for a spot to sleep... I assume it was purpose built for rodeo life but the man was supposed to go buy a family vehicle for all 8 or 9 of his kids and instead of getting a van like his wife wanted he came home with the truck... 4x4 short bed with the custom cab and a turbo diesel engine flat bed and it was still in really nice shape last I saw it... of course the old man unfortunately passed away in the last year but I'm sure one of the kids still has the old truck... definitely be worth some money to the right person but the centimental value is priceless even to me with the few memories I have of the truck myself...
Those “Deutch” oil filters used to be sold thru Auto Zone stores years back. Then they went to Bosch and STP filters.
FYI, that Maxell XL II 90 sealed cassette tape you guys found in the truck and immediately threw away in the trash... Those go for about $30 right now. Audio guys look for those all the time and pay!
Such great potential. Bonus 2 of my top 5 favourite youtubers.
I like seeing TH-camrs working together thanks for the video
This video was awesome. I used to have a 1975 F250 Ranger in the same 4 door, long bed, 2wd configuration back in 2007. Mine had a C6 and a 460 with 91k original miles. Only 2 pinhole rust spots on the tailgate, but none anywhere else. I found it sitting in a field with a bed full of trash and paid $1,600 for it on the spot. It must have died on me 30 times in the 50 miles home. Some new brakes, a new fuel system from tanks to carb and it ran a whole lot better. Unfortunately, gas hit $4.50 a gallon, and that thing averaged 6mpg so it had to go. I regret it to this day. Closing the doors on it sounded solid and tight, just like a new car door. Such a solid truck. This video brought back some good memories. Thanks for the great content!
A revival video mainly consisting of a series of "Hey, y'all... watch this!" moments! It just don't get any better than that!
In the future you should place a tarp under the car/truck. Easy to find things and better crawling under.
Kelly-Springfield is one of the oldest tire/rubber brands in the US, owned by Goodyear currently. Surprised you guys hadn't heard of them.
You guys always find the cool trucks, especially this one. I've been looking for a 1967-1969 Ford F-250 Crew Cab for a year or two now.
Holy smokes! Love this collaboration!!
Love the Fe's! Great video
Oh what a cool rig! Fantastic!
Love wachting your videos man . I need to get me an old truck
One of my dream trucks 67-72 crew cab love them!
I always watch till the end and like your videos! You're awesome!!
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!❤️❤️
Nice to see you two work on this old ford 4 door!!
Craig 909's 3 favorite things;;
Ford trucks, Vincent Vega haircuts, and blinding himself with brake cleaner
Dylan thanks for the video
The Shenanigans in this video are hilarious 😂 @Dylan McCool
Absolutely love this truck!
Great video @Dylan McCool
Doughnut gasket and a wash job, back on the road.
Love the bumpsides, I scoped that out in an earlier video. Hey Dylan, I have some Mustang ll questions.
Excellent Video Dylan :) also crew also I knew truck runs also those old Fords never die and hopefully find what size motor that truck has to be 351 Windsor or Cleveland, 360 or 390 motor for they used then and key ignition switch is to fix up too ! Great Work guys to also and keep going strong too!
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!❤️❤️
Oh my god when I saw that thumbnail I started to cry my great-grandfather bought brand new and identical truck to that he owned his entire life it was on the third bed he used it so much when he finally passed it was left to me we had major flooding in Oregon in 1998 the garage where the truck was parked at my parents house because I was 18 just turned that summer we had a hundred foot Douglas fur behind the house by the creek the flood washed the roots out and the tree fell on the garage and totaled the truck I could remember being 5 years old and him let me steer that as we drove into town at Pumpkin Center New Mexico thanks for the shock to the memories Dylan take good care of it
Well. As long as it runs. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤️❤️
We always called those big long trucks Country Cadillacs
Cowboy Cadillac as well. 👍🏻🤠

My brother recently bought a 69 Ford F250 4speed with a 390 that has no power steering, no power assisted brakes, and no A/C making it not the funniest to drive. Seeing this video reminded me of it and showed me some of the cool options he’s missing out on. Not to mention this is a crew cab which you hardly find!
No brakes, can't see through the window. Love these guys
Vintage Crew Cabs are really special, nice save
Logging crews loved these trucks.
i got a 76 cab chasis f350 and shes a boat too, 160 ish inch wheel base is fun to turn around
I would daily drive that truck.always one of my favorite body styles on ford trucks.
From rusty to runner, now that's a revival!
The collab I dint know I needed
You can pull a plug out and stick a tape ruler down in the plug hole and turn it over and actually measure the amount of stroke to see if it’s a 360 or a 390 and the difference is 3 1/2” or 3 7/8” stroke.
Cool, I just love that 58!!!!
bad ass truck
Dang, that thing runs amazing!
Watched Craig909 the other day.. now this video pops up. Love it!! That is a sweet truck and amazing mechanic crew getting her rolling.
What's with the carburetor hate? I mean, those are some of the easiest to rebuild, dependable, easy to tune, and parts-available carburetors out there.
Do a full revival on it
Engine: "CLACKETY CLACKETY CLACKETY"
Them: "This thing tuns fantastic!"
That is one sweet truck. Very rare!
the red fuel could be a bunch of Sta-bil in it
Kelly Springfield used to make rubber products. We used to have a garage around here that sold Kelly-Spingfield tires
Great video!!
YYAAAHHHHH FORD LETS GOOO!!
You no longer strike me as a serial killer weird
Dream truck vibes ❤
Deutsch oil filter - AutoZone house brand from the late 90s early 00s; belt was a Kelly Springfield which is a division of Goodyear
yes a Pickup truck!
Runs and idles she is mint 👌 @Dylan McCool
It boggles my mind that once these trucks were everywhere and people daily drove them 😅
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!❤️❤️
Memories of driving to help a friend bring an old Rover back to life are coming back to me. The motor was stuck, so he filled the bores with a pb type oil and needed to leave it soak
"What now?"
"We polish it"
"What? Why?"
"You've met your wife. If the oil doesn't work, at least it won't look like trash and she will have less to complain about"
🤣🤣🤣
3 weeks later, it was doing 95 mph on that engine down the motorway. Great car.
I wonder what these new cars start as easy as these old ones seem to be arfter sitting in 20 plus years
Awesome video
How many "long story shorts" before it's no longer short?
I am happy now! A McCool video!
What a huge truck, oh my goodness
The Belt are Kelly-Springfield Tire Company, and Deutsch Oil Filter was sold by AutoZone.
I think I seen this on Facebook marketplace recently, I would want no one else to buy it and fix it rock on dylan🤘
Except Dylan didn't buy it... Craig did. Obviously, he plans on driving it across America back to California. I just hope the lunatics there don't sacrifice it on the altar of the climate change alarmists someday... just because it uses an ICE. I fear that we may be facing Cash for Clunkers Part II in the near future - who knows what the nut jobs will do. Best wishes! 🤔🤦🏻♂️🇺🇸

Never hit two hammers together. The face hardened steel can shatter.
This truck would be a cool build
