Got a 76 Ford f150 sitting in storage back in Alabama original 300 straight 6 and the original four-speed but we all know the first gear is the best gear for get the job done she's not canned out or built up she's insanely reliable and probably if not the only motor I love amongst all the other Ford engines she's never left me on the side of the road
Before the rebuild Mine ran with no gauges, eyeballed timing and a carburetor off of a 1949 Willie's jeep that was using cereal box caskets and the internals were broken. Still got me to school and back
Manufacturers need to start making trucks like this again. Simple basic affordable without all the high tech gadgets.
I'm trying to start a business building old classic cars that carry the same reliability and comfort of a modern car.
@@dilbeck6785you actually have a business? I have some ideas I would love to share with someone who has the time to make it reality.
So sick. Love reliable pickups like that. Not pretty, but you can bet she’ll get the job done
It was still running and driving the way it was after sitting in a field. No telling how much longer it will go now that it's been gone through
I love the mismatched, rusted look to these older trucks. Im not sure why, but it looks good on them
Inline 6, 4 spd, 4wd, custom dash. Damn son, you're living right! Isn't that the last year for a solid front axle, too?
Early 80s some too. But I got lucky for sure. Rebuilding the front axle right now so we can do some wheeling
Get her a seat cover and she'll give you another 40 years.
things hoggin, love that dash btw looks sweet
Thanks! I put a lot of time into it
That thing is effin SWEET! I love the 300, one of the best engines I ever had.
It clocks in and puts in work everyday!
Lotta work been put into this ol sweetheart, I love it.

@@dilbeck6785 LOL I used a thick piece of leather to redo the carburetor it did for a while
My favorite engine for sure
That’s a thing if audible beauty
Love the dash work
I love that dash
Thanks!
Had a 300 in a 76 f150, it cruised freeways easy at 75 mph three on the tree manual transmission
Those “Hot water straight 6’er” are tough!
How water?
@@dilbeck6785 they run a tad bit hot….ie Hot water 6. Ask your grandpa homie. Peace and love!
That's a solid ass rig bro
It's only gonna get more solid. Lift and 3 link coming soon
4.9 with a stick shift 2wd short bed loved driving that truck no clutch.
No clutch?
@@dilbeck6785 Floating the gears like a big rig. Rev matching I learned on this style truck. Can't do that with newer vehicles just older ones.
@@TrokaRC I might have to give it a try
Awesome video thanks a lot
Amazing
Sounds 🔥!!
💪
Sounds like a good ole tractor
Honda once it revs up. We're not here for the sound tho
Those 300s were as reliable as a hammer!
That thing sounds fuckin' mean for a 300 i6
Thanks! Sounds great at idle. Rev it up and you gotta Honda
frickin wicked dude! just curious whats your mpg like? Ive always wanted to daily something like this
12-15 as a ruff estimate. I plan on accurately testing it here soon
U can't beat a 300
A lot of things probably could beat it🤣. But it will out live them, sadly not with the way I treat it
Yes you can beat a 300!! They just don't care 😅
Sweet!!
Thanks!
I got a 1978 ford f250 with a 429 in it
Nice! Definitely can't go wrong with that. I'll be honest a V8 sounds so much better
@dilbeck6785 in a few months it will be up for sale due to some health issues
clapped
Tapped💪
standard s. ,wiper s. ,dessert s.
Alright king elaborate
Not your average truck
NOT A COLD START!
How so?
Still a great motor.
the fender exhaust was cool.
