Those old Fords are so high in quality, easy to work on, same parts in most cases for years, long lasting, and just plain good. They can't be beat. Looks like you have a winner there. I prefer the six cylinder, had two of them and loved them both. Put way over 100k on each of them without a major repair on either.
I just bought a 72 Ranger XLT the other day and it’s a long wheel base which I’m not the biggest fan of but it’s starting to grow on me…😂 It’s a nice truck, I think it’s all original. It’s got 2 small holes in the passenger floor pan and the front side of the bed is rusted out but other than that it’s just got a little surface rust. My buddy that went with me, told me about the tool box built into the bed like that. He said he had one like that. I’ve never seen one until just now. That’s pretty cool… 😎
Good job getting these classics running. 👍 I was skeptical the one with the sludge build up would run, but it pleasantly surprised me. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
We had a 71 Ford F100 Short Wide Bed. 3 ON the Tree 302 V8 Under Dash AC I drove to High School in the late 70's I called it Robin's egg blue ran great.
I love the 1972 Red Custom because it has Ford' venerable inline 6 cylinder motor. With today's gas prices it's nice to drive around a truck without a huge V8. I have to admit the air conditioning in the Green one is really kewl though.
Another Great Video,I like all three of the Ford Pickups,My Dad owed one just like the first one;Great for hauling, and road trips.Throw some golf clubs in, and I’ll see you on the 9th,Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️
Richard another great start on the first truck. Just a exhaust manifold leak and water pump.The green Ford without oil. Surprised only lifters knocking. No too shabby. The last one the 6 cylinder looks tougher. Thanks for sharing 💯👊
The first 2 trucks remind me of mine, which is a 68. Both probably have 360's in them, and your right, a simple carb rebuild, maybe flush the oil once or twice, especially in the second truck, some brake work and you got some ole patina style running trucks! they're so simple to wrench on too honestly, I changed my trucks motor in a few hours by myself with a forklift lol. I think you definitely helped their chances at being bought and not scrapped, since the first two run anyway. These trucks are getting pretty popular too, I've had many offers on mine, but not sure if I'd sell, unless the right offer came around!
Great job! I watch you and all my ball games at the same time! Lol, Love your videos. You and vise grip my favorites . Love the old fords and chevy trucks. 👷🏼♂️👍🏼
AWESOME THAT GREEN ONE OR ANY OTHER ONES THAY IS TOTALLY MY DREAM TRUCK SINCE I WAS 4 YESRS OLD WHEN MY DUDE FIRST STATTED TAKING ME TO CAR SHOWS MY FAVORITE BODY STYLE AS WLL YHANK U THANK U
I say three in one or two to make running trucks on fix uppers too and would take much for sure 👍! But great finds for sure and hopefully hear want do with all 3 trucks !
I subscribed to your channel for several reasons. One, I like what you do and your no nonsense way of getting all of this old iron running. Second, the one thing that caught my attention is that you don't use a bunch of nonsense words, many that aren't really even words, like several other TH-camrs do and there's no clowning around. You seem to have areal desire to rescue as many as you can just to save them from the scrappers and get them back on the road.
Yes I agree with your assessment. Of course this is the difference between people and how they present things, and of course the differences in humor and theatrics. Of course this what the mouse is for on your computer much like the remote on your TV set. You can always change channels. There are some of these You Tube presentations that I turn off after the first thirty seconds with some of these channels, but that is my preference. I enjoy Richard and Christines presentations.
These big block Fords are nice. The white truck just needs some TLC, a wash job, tires, brakes, etc. Would make a good driver. I like the 69's grille better than 72, but that's just me. Ford made good stuff in the 60's. Glad to see them saved from crusher.
Did you end up verifying the years? Two of those look like there 1968 or 1969. I think 1968 introduced the side marker reflectors on the hood. The 1969 grill had a horizontal middle bar with an indention that was originally painted red.
Two out of three ain't bad. Argh, sorry, red truck, but you're best off for parts. Better than going to the crusher, you'll find somebody who will love ya. You will live on in other F100's.
I'll take the white one for sure It would be a nice truck for me cause I'm disabled And it could haul my scooter + my wheelchair ans my other stuff I need How much for all three do they want? Did all 3 of the have a 302 in them?
That first one you worked on, looks like it's got a FE engine in it, either a 360 or 390 , either way good engines. Only thing is the intakes on the FE engines are part of the heads, at the top and damn those intakes are heavy, all cast iron and weigh a ton! Still pretty good engines! I've had plenty of Ford pickemups too, everything from a 6 banger to a big block 460 FE, that was in a camper special. Hmmm, the second one, looks like same engine, when you first showed them, I thought it had a smallblock in it, but bigblock, better!
I'll take the red one off your hands. I had one like that never shoulda sold it. I also had a red 69 short bed. sold em both when I was building my house.
You want to know what all carburetor’s have ? Bowels and when you 1st fill the bowel and hit the gas lever it will squirt inside the carb indicating if your motor does start then you can keep the engine running…..,,
I understand. It is tough to pay 4K for a truck that needs a complete brake overhaul, tires, and a water pump. It would be nice once those things are done.
It takes a lot of networking. There are the usual places, such as Craigslist, but others too. Go to a small town coffee shop on a Saturday morning and talk to the older people there. Someone will know someone with an old car they need help with.
There are reasons for that. When a carb is primed with gas, the engine needs more air. Sometimes the choke is broken. Then there are the times when Mystery oil resiidue is in the cylinders. Again, the engine needs a lot of air to fire amongst the oil
When ever U folks go out and want to revive these old Ferd trucks and cars and you see one of them Motorcraft carbs on the motor get another carb the Edlebrocks work nice no matter kind of vehicle and theEdelbrocks are not all outta whack when ya go to fire up an engine unlike Holley carbs seem to be deliberately set not to start the vehicle. The Motorcraft carbs corrode inside because of what they are made out of. I don't ever remember getting a Ford to fire off and run with one them carbs if the vehicle was parked a long long time ago that was probably the reasons. I brought a few back to like with just the carb. Most times it also turns the distributors and spark stuff is gone as well. A young guy that works for me spent a better part of a week having bought 2 new batteries trying to get a 71 F150 running. I advanced him 2 weeks pay to buy a new carb by the time he brought it here it needed a distributor. He has it parked under one of them kit garage tent like things. He really shined up nice wants to get it restored now. Seems the cab mounts and floors are gone which is typical..
I just pull a battery cable to see if they charging. If it runs, it’s charging. If it goes dead, it’s not. I never owned a multimeter until I started fooling with this newer crap with all the sensors.
How could the clutch be stuck?.. Start in neutral… It’s obvious the clutch works because you are starting it in gear with the clutch pushed in?? I have had stuck clutches and I start in neutral. I free it up by putting in gear and pushing in the clutch and bump starter to break loose.
The owner is selling all three as a package deal for $10k. I live the green one too. Although the floor is bad, it appears to have been sitting far less time than the other two.
@@samparks1141 Yea I guarantee he's not gonna be getting 10k for those 3 trucks. My truck I though about selling, and highest offers I got for a running driving, road legal 68 f100 was 2k

Totally agree.
At that time dodge body stood up these fords never were able to meet safety certification. New after market flooor and rockers and front fenders

Those old Ferd motors seem to need that sludge to make em run right.
Glad someone is saving them, my brother has a 67, F250 & a 71 F100!
I love those old F100s.

Great job getting the trucks running! Great video! Cheers! 😁🛠️
Thank you Billy!
Nice job bringing them back from the dead as usual. I see you went back & worked on the red one as well. Gonna watch it now. Should be interesting!
I like that white pickup reminds me of Uncle Jesse's truck from Dukes of Hazzard
Do you know what year Uncle Jesse's truck was in the show?

Agreed. I did not have much experience with the Ford FE engines, but the more I work with them, the more I like them.
@@whattherust The only thing that can be wrong with them is excessive oil to the rockers on the early ones. Good trouble-free engines.
I'm with you brother....
old fords never die....there just resting!!!
Did you end up verifying the years? Two of those look like there 1968 or 1969. I think 1968 introduced the side marker reflectors on the hood. The 1969 grill had a horizontal middle bar with an indention that was originally painted red.
Yes, the green one is a 68 and the gray one is a 69. The 68 doesn't have a reflector under the tail light.
The gas filter on it is the glass one that starts alot of fires
Red truck looks like a parts truck to me. Maybe the front end dog house would fit on one of the others. I know Chevy's of that era would
I wish I could buy one of those from you.
Good job thank God you got starting fluid and did you see how fast it fired but it had bad main bearing noise
Thanks for the feedback Thomas.
Thanks!
Thank you Terry! Interesting fact, these trucks came back up for sale a week ago.
I love Ford trucks.
you are the man love yours vids
Thanks for the support Donna!
Custom weight reduction engaged speed holes or ventilation engaged minty ol ferds
I would love to have all of them.
Brake cleaner works just fine for starting fluid.
You gonna wear out the door hinges on the green F100..LOL
That red truck is salvageable, if you say a prayer. Nonetheless, thanks for bringing these old fellas back to life.
You are welcome. Thank you for the support.

How much for all three do they want?
Did all 3 of the have a 302 in them?
The first two look to have big block 360's in them, the 3rd on is an inline 6 cylinder, probably a 300ci.
mans best friend an fe engine. thanks for saving these 3 sisters from the scraper.
You're welcome. I love those FEs too. Thanks for watching!
Nice job on getting the first 2 running. How much are they asking for package deal?
$10K for all three.
@@whattherust they know what they got in those trucks
The 4 speed truck is the one I'd pick.
That first one you worked on, looks like it's got a FE engine in it, either a 360 or 390 , either way good engines. Only thing is the intakes on the FE engines are part of the heads, at the top and damn those intakes are heavy, all cast iron and weigh a ton! Still pretty good engines!

I like those FEs too. My problem with them has been the blown exhaust manifold gaskets. It seems to be a very common problem.
@@whattherust - yeah they were bad for that.
I live in fergus ontario Canada I love your show
Thanks very much Walt.
The battery the battery you forgot too put the battery back lol luv your videos
Thanks Gerardo! No matter how many times it happens I still forget.
@@whattherust it ok safety first keep doing your videos luv them you make it look easy 🤔
Richard, thank you for supporting Ukraine. May God bless you. All the best to you and Kristina!
You're welcome. I lived in Eastern Europe for many years, and I have friends in the Ukraine.
Very cool
Thanks! It was a fun time getting these going.
Pop the clutch when you get it running in high gear and it might pop free
Wow. You made that look so easy. You need to come help me get my 91 rs camaro to run. It's sat for over a year and I still can't get it to run.
Those old trucks are so much easier than a 90s car.
@@whattherust I know you're right
nice fords
Just line em up weld them bumper to bumper as a real custom going to town rig
watching here Philippines
Nice work!
Thanks. It was a lot of fun.
After it got cold it fired right up, WITHOUT opening the choke with a screwdriver.
A hattrick of fords. Well done. I was wondering why you don't use a remote starter switch? If you are by yourself sometimes?
At the time I didn't have one, but I do now!
I'll take the red one off your hands. I had one like that never shoulda sold it. I also had a red 69 short bed. sold em both when I was building my house.
I think all of them are still for sale. Check on Facebook marketplace Nashville.
What is your job during the week?automotive?
You want to know what all carburetor’s have ? Bowels and when you 1st fill the bowel and hit the gas lever it will squirt inside the carb indicating if your motor does start then you can keep the engine running…..,,
saw these for sale on marketplace! guy wanted 4k for the gray one in its condition. I wish it was different or I would had bought it
I understand. It is tough to pay 4K for a truck that needs a complete brake overhaul, tires, and a water pump. It would be nice once those things are done.
How do you find these vehicles. I’d love to do this kind of thing with a different kind of vehicle. It’s just finding them.
It takes a lot of networking. There are the usual places, such as Craigslist, but others too. Go to a small town coffee shop on a Saturday morning and talk to the older people there. Someone will know someone with an old car they need help with.
great video
Thanks Howard!
Good job 👍👍👌👌 bro
Thanks!
Probably clean the needle valve on the carburator.
Be a real good candidate for an LS swap set a transverses already gone make somebody a real nice daily driver
Nice 89 Silverado with three ford trucks and a Chevy looks like you have the start of a junkyard with a ride home LOL
that white one wanted to run. Lol id love to it. 4 Speed. 😏 great runner. Not a ford guy. But i like that one. Just swap it to hei lol
Want the gray one
It is still for sale on Marketplace Nashville.
Let the choke do its job. Every vehicle you work on you stick a screwdriver in the choke, it’s there for a reason.
There are reasons for that. When a carb is primed with gas, the engine needs more air. Sometimes the choke is broken. Then there are the times when Mystery oil resiidue is in the cylinders. Again, the engine needs a lot of air to fire amongst the oil

Use they garden tool to press the clutch down…I’m guess that’s why it’s there 😅
If that backfires your going to have a big bond fire
I just pull a battery cable to see if they charging. If it runs, it’s charging. If it goes dead, it’s not. I never owned a multimeter until I started fooling with this newer crap with all the sensors.
What's the price on these? I like the white one
Last I checked the owner wanted to sell them as a set for $10K. You can find them on Facebook Marketplace Nashville.
Late in the game but ya should fill the bowl through the vents of the carb!
I will.take the white one
Turn the ignition of if it doesn't make that click it's ignition solanud
Set the red truck on a crown Victoria frame ,
Is the grey one still for sale?
I am not sure. Check Facebook marketplace Nashville.
Hi Robert, do you sell any of the trucks?
Those actually weren't mine. I was helping the owner get them running for sale. They were pricey, so I don't know if they ever sold.
@@whattherust thank you Robert, it's amazing you got all three started. Good job.
How good are those FE v8s …..
So true. The more I work on them the more impressed I am.
Put more oil in it and it might pump up lifters better
Why don't you ever use starting fluid it would help so much I been doing this for 50 years
Me too, but you might not believe the negative comments I receive when I use it.
How could the clutch be stuck?.. Start in neutral… It’s obvious the clutch works because you are starting it in gear with the clutch pushed in?? I have had stuck clutches and I start in neutral. I free it up by putting in gear and pushing in the clutch and bump starter to break loose.

Are rusty pickup need to running take copart sale them
Fixed them fixed floor board
Fixed 3
Is that a 360 or a 390
I believe it is a 360 in both of them. It is tough to know from the outside.
The red one has lots of rust. Look more and find more. There is rust I see you walked past 😏
You're right. It has a lot of rust, but I still like it.

free up the clutch? I don't get that
