Will it run with minimal tools and time? 1975 Ford F250 rotting amongst the trees.

- I showed up to this place to pick up a 50 Chevy. When I spotted this Ford, my first thought was whether I can get it to run, but unprepared, short on time, and with minimal tools, can I? With no time to prep, the camera angles are not the best, but this is as unfiltered as it gets!

Greetings from Scotland……now let’s watch the video 👍👍
Nice job Richard. I’m assuming you didn’t purchase the truck?
Is that the first flat bed you’ve done on the channel ? The reason I ask is that I do think the standard truck bed has a much nicer look, and I cannot remember if you had done a flat bed before.
I expected a V8 inside it….I was surprised to see a 6 cylinder. Would that make it underpowered?.
Anyway nice job…as always.
Cheers ,…John
Sounds like that six has plenty of life left in it
Looks like the same carb. & engine I have in my 1972 F-250, which is a 300. Bulletproof engine.
"I knew it was going to run". Was there ever a moment's doubt?
hats off to the infamous 300 inline. the truck i spent 35 years with. get her on her feet. well make me happy,,
Representing Maui here. Love absolutely the 6cyl.
New cap and wires it will run perfect. Can't kill a 300 Ford 6 cylinder motor Great job! 👍👍
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎☕️☕️🍩👍 Morning to all !
Brilliant to see, you are always so enthusiastic great channel.
Wow! That engine sounds really good! Awesome work, Richard! You definitely have a magic touch with the "will it runs"! 👍👍👍 Those Fords are some of my favorite years, the 73-79 and the bullnose of the 80s. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to see what happens with the Chevy!
Thanks very much David. I am wishing I had bought this truck. It really didn't need much to be on the road again.
Berrymans does something Seafoam doesn't do, it WORKS Lol 🤣
you don't see many flatbeds surviving these days. I hope someone gives this one a good home now. long live the unloved vehicles. :)
this poor thing has been hooked up to run multiple times it seems. one canister in the back, another besides the engine... short of drilling a hole in the hood to add a funnel for fuel. XD
Thats a cool truck! Def worth saving!
The 300 cid is a great motor. And the frame looked solid on that too. Needs a little love and should be on the road.
I love junk you work on it reminds me of my childhood learning from my dad how to fix cars and survive jimmy Carter only Brandon could equal his failure
😅😂😅😂😅😂
Biden VASTLY exceeds "Let's Go Brandon" when it comes to inept failure... and in being ideologically corrupt. Compared to Biden, Carter is a saint. Yes, the old guy is 99 and still kicking though his wife just passed a few days ago. Carter will go soon, as I understand it, he's in hospice care. That usually translates into a person not being able to care for themselves and the end is near as the mind is going or gone. Biden won't last even close to Carter in age - that's obvious based on his clearly diminished mental capacity at 80! Woe unto the USA if that lunatic gets re-elected!!

Glad you got it running.I know you always give these your best effort.Good video.
Thank you Neil.
My brother bought a new F250 3/4 ton with a 300 six 4 speed in 1975. It would haul a skid of cement blocks and the tail hardly dropped at all haha. We only used 1st gear if there was a load in the bed because 1st was geared so low. Generally we used 2nd for moving out.
No road feel with the steering wheel at all, but it was a fun truck to drive.
Nice to see one running again.
Good morning from Colorado
As soon as u raised the hood I'm like,yeah it's gonna run
watching from southern MD
You are doing a great job . We missed Christina today. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Thanks very much. More coming!
Those 300's really are amazing.Still sounds healthy.
Really enjoyed that Richard good and entertaining thank you
GREAT GOINGGGGG!!! YOUR CAR MAN,,.. AND THE TRUCK TOO!! WE ARE SO PROUD YA GOT IT GOING ,, WITH ALL THOSE CRAPPY PARTS IT HAS IT DOESNT WANT TO DIE!!! THIS IS A NICE YEAR, SO YOUR NOT BUYING IT??? WELL SHOW THAT OWNER IT RUNS AND SELL IT DONT LET IT SIT ANOTHER HUNDERD YEARS.. HI CHRISTINE !! FROM THE FAMILY WE NEED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR 50S CARS ITS BEEN A WHILE ,, THANKS TO YA ALL ,,PEACE!!!!
Hello Ronald! The truck sold soon after, and the new owner has it back on the road so I hear. More is coming soon on Christina's 52! Thanks for the support!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! G D BLESS ...@@whattherust
Thumbs up for the old 300 i6👍👍 .. If it would have been a few years older, I was thinking a 360 in it, but when you said 1975, I thought, I bet it is a 6cyl 😊
You nailed it. I expected a 360, bur was happy with the 300.
Yeah, my man.
Those Ford six cylinders are like 225s. In my experience, they are virtually indestructible. That is probably why they used them in trucks like this.
That’s all I use is Berryman down the carb and down the power brake booster hose
Way to go Richard got it going nice truck great job
Great job. Enjoy your video's. Missed Christina this time
Thanks Chris! I was at home that day waiting for the tow truck to bring the 1950 Black Chevy we did a couple of videos on in May. Busy day that day!
I can't believe how straight it is
Oh yeah I loved it looks cool
That truly is awesome, brother. You really do an incredible job bringing these old rides back to life. Keep up the great content and work, and know we appreciate both of your work and knowledge. Have a glorious day, friends.
Thank you my friend. We hope all is well up North.
@@whattherust it's a bit stressful at the moment the house owner has put her house on the market so this last week has been brutal on us. We have been praying for both of you with everything that has been going on with both. Much love and respect from us up here.
I knew a guy who had a 75 Ford Crew cab and it had the 300 what an Amazing Truck.
Right, the 300 is fantastic. I am a fan.
I wasn't expecting the 6cyl either
I'm the same age as the truck and I feel about how it looks lol aged weathered but still chugging along 😂
Was also born in 1975. 😊
@@carlbernard4197 1975? 1-9-7-5?? Wow, you guys are still a snot nosed brat compared to me! You both haven't even hit the big 5-0 yet! Must be nice to be living all the way back in your 40s... not that I'm jealous or anything. Honest. 😉
- Max Giganteum
Very nice video 👍 ❤ gooooooood luck forever 🌷 🌷 🌷
Good.job. cool truck Ford 250 congratulations you show 😄👍👍👏
Great job
I hope the owner gave you a slice of the additional sale price after you got it to run, if only to pay for the fluids you used
Another runner! Well done Richard. Always fun watching you do these rescues.
Keep on rockin!
Thanks Gary! More coming!
That engine ran surprisingly well with a distributor cap almost burned to the ground! That truck is surely a runner for someone to fix!
Definitely! Never have I seen a cap so worn out.
that ol ford still got life in her 4 sure richard thanks for the share as always stay safe till the next hello christina stop slackin get back to work 😂😂😁📸📸📸📸😎✌✌
Awesome job getting that old Ford to run again Richard.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
sounds good,
Your videos are so good, I watched all of them👍
Great video!
Well that one was a great success Richard. Thanks for sharing!
Love this channel
Another great save on a great old truck.
Great job has always. I liked and shared, All my very best.
Thank u Richard for your time u did great with the camera angels I but yoy were missing yoyr partner in crime I appreciate u sharing your time with us Aka the viewers thankbu thankbu
You're welcome Tanner. Thank you for the support.
Great job Richard. 👍
As long as the cab mounts, tranny and rear end are in good shape, this truck should provide plenty of life. Just needs a bit of tlc. Great video. Great approach. Great attitude. Sometimes I feel after watching your vids I have been treated to the subtlest of sermons. You would have made a great teacher or pastor.take care.
Thanks for the feedback Ross. I agree, this truck has a lot of life left in it.
great videogood runner
300 six cylinder are great engines. I hope you bought it
They are great. I should have bought it, but did not. Thanks for watching!
Hi yall from west Alabama
One of the things I really like about those Ford trucks is the work/tool bench on either side of the motor.
Yes! Lots of space to put tools.
Those old 300 6 cylinder are good motors. I had a '77 with that motor and hauled livestock with it. Didn't set any new land speed records but it got the job done! Thanks for the dandy videos!
You're welcome. Happy you like the channel!
love the will it run videos. Great job again, thank God it wasnt frozen. Keep them coming.
Thanks Rich! More to come!
Great work👌, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
You're welcome Darren!
Another great job Richard:-) You are the Master off these old engines 🙂
Thanks very much. I have a lot of fun doing it.
A 300 6 is a tuff little ford engine
Great work and video, Richard!! Cheers!!😁👍🔧🛠️
Thank you Billy!
Fantastic result. I love the methodical way you work! Well done Richard, from UK subscribed and love the content.
Thank you for the support. Much appreciated!
Great seeing you doing this Richard, I try to do as much as I can myself but it’s getting hard to find vehicles to do anything with around my area. I am in North Central Kentucky. If you’re ever down around this way doing anything I need a hand give me a shout we could collaborate together with our channels.
Pretty neat. We had a 1978 F150. Great old truck. It too had the inline 6-cylinder and 4-speed manual. It ended up in California, from here in Virginia. Sure wish it had been brought home. Good memories.
Glad the video brought back good memories. Thanks for watching.
Good Job Richard 👍👏👏👏
Thanks Robert!
Congrats you did it again.
Thanks very much
You're having way too much fun.
So true.
Hi mate great video shame you didn't buy that truck 🚚 as well. Cheers 🍻
Great video hard to beat those old 6cyl engines are hard to beat thanks for sharing
You're welcome Howard.
G'evening Richard 🤠 . Sometimes it's relaxing to have a simple points ignition system to diagnose and fix 🙃 .
Totally agree!
should have powered up the horns lol
Sounds really good Richard you definitely have the touch
Thanks!
Judging from the Red Bull cans in the interior of the truck, I would say that it has not been sitting more the ten years, at the most. I would agree with your assessment that it has been off the road for a long time. It was probably retired as a full time work truck a long time ago, but they just kept it to use around the property. That explains the lack of a plate.
Great video Richard and Kristina❤
Thanks Ray!
Don't underestimate the 300 6 cylinder. The displacement is 4.9 liters. They have a longer stroke, so there is plenty of low-end torque for pulling. I own a 78 F100 with a 300 6cyl. and a 3-speed manual transmission. There are plenty of upgrades you can do to a 300. In my opinion it is a very good engine. I have owned mine for 27 years.
You did good🥇
Thanks!
Great video awesome job
Thanks!
Nice one Richard, you made it look easy.
Thanks!
That a nice old truck,it did not take you long to get that running,another excellent job
Thanks very much Mark. Glad you liked it.
NICE JOB
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Richard this was a really neat episode. Surprised how easily you got that old girl to run. I was also surprised it was a six, mind you the six is a vastly underrated motor. Thanks for sharing, hope you got a discount on your car lol.👍👍🇨🇦
No luck with the discount, but I had fun!
At approximately 9:35... pouring MMO down the carb isn't going to free up a stuck valve on an overhead valve engine such as the Ford 300. Valves stick in the guides (baring a cylinder so loaded with rust that the valves physically cannot move due to the massive amounts of corrosion!). The most likely occurrence was that there was slight corrosion on one or more of the cylinder walls but it wasn't so bad that you couldn't push it off by applying torsional force at the end of the crankshaft. In other words, the surface rust was scraped off by the rings. The odds are high that the valves were free moving. By the way, the smart play is to always pop off any valve covers when you go to start a long dormant engine. This accomplishes several things including:
1. You ensure that there is no debris deposited on top of the head by critters.
2. You can visually inspect the valvetrain for any obvious damage.
3. You can visually inspect the valvetrain for proper movement as you slowly turn over the engine by hand.
4. You can physically tap on the end of the valve stems if needed thus assuring movement.
With #3, any stuck valves are totally obvious. With #4, any sticky valves will be obvious. Best wishes!

Hey Richard great job at getting the old girl running again! I was a bit surprised when you opened the the hood and saw a inline 6 but they are great motor and hopefully she gets a second choice on life!!😊
Thanks! I love those 300 sixes as well.
I'm surprised it ran so nice! Great effort getting the old girl running for a new chance at life!
Thanks very much. This turned out to be a good truck.
New set of plugs points condenser and wires and it will be a good running truck. Enjoyed the video
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
awesome as allways.take care of that 300 itll take care of you,435 new prosess 3 speed with the creeper gear. wonder if it has the rockwell rear. must have a good low set of gears out back. nothing like getting 300,ooo miles out of a 300. cant wait till the next. take care.
Thanks for the support More videos coming!
Richard those Ford straight 6’s are the best old engines. Congratulations on the start. Sounds really strong at the higher RPM’s . Guessing you got it. Did not see your partner in crime this episode.
💯👍❤️
Hi Terry. I agree. Those sixes are fantastic. Christina will be around for the next one!
@1:42, Kraco or Audiovox stereo!
300 six is pretty hard to kill!
Definitely! One of my all-time favorites.
There are a lot of TH-camrs out there, that walk you through the process of checking the gap on the site lugs, explaining why it is important, a d, also the firing oder on the various engines. I can’t speak for anyone else, but, as for myself, I lime that information. Just a little food for thought.
Agreed. I just didn't have a lot of time with this one.
Hey glad to see you have another video out but where's your Sidekick it just doesn't seem right it's like watching an episode of when I was a kid Batman with no Robin? Well I hope to see y'all together again soon
So funny! I also call myself Robin🤣🤣🤣 I was at home waiting for the tow truck to arrive with the 1950 black chevy. We did a couple of videos on that in May. It was a busy day that day! Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support 🙏
Oh, those type of trucks are my favorite from Ford. Too bad they were never imported here in East of Europe. Even with my savings I can't import one from USA. I wish I could, it looks cooler than any plastic modern "car".
I've seen older vehicles that have good body, the owners just swap more economical newer engine.
I'd be willing to bet that people in your part of the world have far more appreciation for something like this than most of us here in the States. There are still a lot of us who understand the value of these earlier vehicles, and appreciate the better quality of materials and workmanship, but often those of us who feel that way are thought of as rednecks and hillbillies, or just "behind the times" by the contemporary urban hipsters. What they all fail to realize is that once you get an older car up and running and properly restored, you have something of far greater quality, less complicated, and will hold its value, and even increase over time.
Unfortunately our culture is obsessed with NEW! NEW! NEW! every 5 minutes, and "when it goes out of style, toss it on the pile".
It doesn't surprise me when people in other parts of the world think of us as wasteful, spoiled, lazy pigs who respect nothing and destroy everything.
But we're not all like that. We're not all consumer zombies. Some of us understand the value of things like this old truck.
Excellent video Richard :) yes those 300 Cubic Inches 6 cylinder motor good condition possible if got tune up be ready roll and plus rest truck too! I think remember those truck have Granny 4 speed Bow Low First gear and yes those 300 eat fuel lots but did job in there day ! Also if key ignition switch on you get lots voltage on recharge battery plus more Richard! Yes live on forever getting running too and nice shape in too!
Hi Andrew. You are right about the key. That is likely why the alternator was not working, since on Fords the charging circuit runs through it. I had forgotten about that!
@@whattherust welcome Richard :) and yes I had 1972 Ford F350 extended cab for nearly 30 years & sold it in 2008 after restoration to from parts truck and taught me lots fun things learned on too !
That will be the 300 6. The best motor Ford ever built
It is a good one. I am always happy to see one under the hood.
Don't see it rolling the smoke, so still a good engine.
Right, it didn't smoke at all.
Running pretty well considering the old points and cap.
It isn't age... it's corrosion on the contacts that becomes a problem. Clean the contacts on a 100 year old cap or points and they'll run like new all other considerations aside. Best wishes!
