Abandoned for Years! 1965 Ford F100! Will It Run?!? Oklahoma Farm Truck! Amazing Transformation!

On a recent trip to Oklahoma to visit the Pott County Legend himself I figured we may as well not come home empty with a big block Chevrolet crew cab squarebody dually! After searching all week and nothing coming up this cute little 1965 Ford shortbed came up on Facebook. A deal was struck and we drug it home! Now lets see if we can convince this thing to run and drive once again! If you'd like to own this one it can be yours for $5500 as shown. (Minus the Monte Carlo bench seat that has since been sold and never fit right anyway!) As always, thanks for watching!

More work and let's talk

[@jrose-xp6tf]

ANOTHER painted vehicle...with air in the tires? ....this show may be gettin' too fancy for me.

[@sharpie9712]

I used to watch blacksmithing videos to fall asleep. Now I just watch Mortske repair videos.

[@bradlobdell]

Stop lowering full size trucks.

[@markpigman209]

Every time you lower a truck it's an embarrassment to the truck company

[@sugartreefordman7293]

Sweet little truck! Please no Chevy stuff please😢 Talking about people losing digits from fireworks there's a news story a guy lit one and sat it on his hat. He died before the paramedics could even help!

[@danswartwood4580]

I remember the old 1965 Ford truck commercials on TV hawking the new twin I- beam suspension when I was a teenager.

[@rudolphgarcia8898]

That bug is not a giant fly. You just discovered what a Cicada looks like. They are all over the south and they make the soundtrack for summer!

[@revivalranch4231]

Mortske Repair. Making Mondays bearable again.

Summer of 71 I traded 1965 Impala 2dr HT for 1966 ford pickup 6 cylinder 3 on the tree. We traded title for title no money exchanged hands. I drove pickup last 2 years of college hauling beer, furniture, friends, dorm stuff and more beer. In 1973 I graduated college and give truck to my Dad. He drove truck from 1973 until he passed 1993. My Mother gave truck back to me and I immediately give truck to High School friend of mine. He drove it several more years until the rust won. In approximately 30 years truck had one engine rebuild and one DIY paint job. If truck could talk there would be many stories. When I checked mileage it was over 450,000 miles when my Dad was still driving in 1993 Great old Ford truck

[@williamdegase3562]

Some of the best Ford trucks ever built

[@matta5534]

My dad had a red and white 62 or 3 short unibody back in the day that he sold for cheap bc the steering was sloppy & man what a regret! I've always had a soft spot for that body style & would love to be able to own one someday.. They're just getting too darn pricey! You scored, sir!✌️

[@RobertDickens2002]

My first truck was a 67 f100 240 straight 6 with 3 on the tree I learned to drive in a pecan field.

[@daviddavis4444]

My Uncle was a shade tree small engine fix it go to. I was 16 so I was his driver to pick up garden tractors, lawn mowers whatever would fit on the truck, this was about mid 70's the truck I drove was a 65 F100 Custom 3 on the tree with a 352 4V V8. That was the best truck he drove from about 1968 till somewhere in the late 80's when he sold it. Really brought back memories.

[@paulyosef7550]

I had a 69 F-100 with a 360 motor and 3 on the tree. Nice truck.

[@davidhelmuth6654]

Giant Fly…

[@blahblahdrunksheep]

I like the Aussie made Stromberg carbs. Fill it up with hot sauce Friday and the 50+ year old accelerator pump is alive and ready for a Saturday morning revival

[@whoaaanelly65]

Mortske - I'm the fellar who sent the three 2100 Autolite carbs to ol' Puddin while you were visiting him. Generally you NEVER want to use Teflon tape on fuel systems. Period. The issue with tapered pipe threads on anything, they will work as you say, on dissimilar materials without sealant as long as it's the first time you assemble them. 90% of the reason you use a pipe "dope" is not for sealing, but as a lubricant to allow the two tapered threaded items to merge without galling the threads. The problem is - just like those stripped threads you lament about - is knowing when to stop threading the bits together! You can expand and compress the tapered threads to the point where they eventually, after 60 years, bottom out before sealing.

[@MikeSmith-bb5ii]

Hey Puddin. You gotta run coolant because it increases the boiling point, and reduces the internal patina you love on the outside. Inside engine patina Bad, outside body patina Good.

[@sheepwolf1st]

You've been to Okie State and, definitely, you have herd the Cicada singing throughout the day and evening.
