- This 1967 Ford F100 was parked here and torn apart 40 years ago in 1980. It has 76k original miles and is such a cool piece of history, we are so glad to be able to save. Can we get it running and drive it home, after sitting for so long? I hope you all enjoy this fun! Want more? Let us know down below! Thank you so much for the love and support!
*Part 2 will be up Monday evening!*

Love the old FORD and CHEVY pickups. They made them simple but to last. Thanks for the video.
Same here! Absolutely 🙂
@@BudgetBuildz I got a hole in a radiator like that on my Honeymoon. I fix it with a wooden toothpick and silicone. It lasted 5 years till I sold the car lol.
I had 1965 f100 short bed with a 240 six and three on the tree, fun truck !
Very cool!
Now you guys are like Junkyard digs and Thunderhead 289 good show cant wait till part 2.
Yeah They are lol , I need to find some stuff like this down here in nc where I am an start doing or getting vehicles saved lol
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Im in central nc
Like who?
Had a straight six in a 1980 f100 it sat for 8+ years after purchasing another truck. I finally made the choice to sell it. To my surprise a guy called on the first morning and wanted to come see it right away. I hadn't even cleaned the ten inches of leaves out of the bed. Holy moly I had to run to the parts store and the gas station on the way over to where the truck was stored. I put the five gallons of gas in that filled it up....so it already had 15 in it.i only had ten minutes till he showed up so I fastened in the battery hooked up the pos, and then when I touched the neg the engine started like it was just turned off 5 minutes ago. The smell of the wurst gas I've ever smelled coming out of the tail pipe almost made me puke. As I looked up the guy arrived 5 minutes early. He got out of his car looked at the truck for 1-2 minutes and said I'll take it. I was only there minutes before he showed up. You gotta laugh btw I saw him driving that ole truck for years after that........
I still remember crawling into the engine compartment of my F-100 240 6-cylinder and changing out the master cylinder in the pouring rain. Try that in a new F-150
Man, cool truck, I hope you guys leave it original, it's only like this once !
Thanks! Most definitely 🙂🙂
I love when the owner says a beloved vehicle they have had for years if it’s so beloved why let it sit outside and rot away
That is exactly the truck I always dream of owning since 15 years..
Yup, me too!
Two things you always have spare, in a Ford. 1) points, and 2) solenoid.
@Cliff Hubbard
= ..& a spare rotor. I've had a few break, for no apparent reason, just worn out over many years of use.
Absolutely
Always.
Here's a VERY HELPFUL tip from a guy that has done numerous jobs like this. When working in the field with a lot of brush and tall grass, always place a blue tarp of plastic on the ground under as much of the vehicle as possible. Small bolts, screws and parts are nearly impossible to find when dropped...and you will drop some. Cheap and easy insurance to find them.
I came over here from watching #VGG wake up a 'Vette, & here you guys are waking up an old Ford...must be my lucky day!
And you must've read my mind, because you gave me an update on the Comet while getting this one ready to go - looking forward to more on that...I did mention I'm not a Ford fan, right? :)
Also want to give your Dad a shout out for knocking out those brakes - front drums bring back memories of learning how to service them back in high school. When another student mentioned that cars had front discs now (this was the '80s), my instructor said "You really think you're only going to service cars built now? You need to be prepared for whatever rolls in the door!" And that advice has been a big help over the years. See ya on Monday!
Lateef Carrere me too so watched them both 👍👍
love it dad had one just like it only red, those old trucks are the best
Very cool!
@@BudgetBuildz hey BB I thought of a beautiful name for your 911targa
Rosetta the 911 😀👍🏻
the stories some of these old vehicles could tell dang!!!!!
I’d love one of those especially in red and white. My dad learned how to drive in one of those. I wish it would have stayed in the family but sadly it was rusting away with all the salt on the roads. And was scrapped before I was born. Was a 67 little f100 long bed
Its sad they let a tree crater it before selling it. Some people would rather it get completely rotted and tore up before selling it's a shame really
Yeah, I would have loved to hear that telephone call, like: - Hi, we have finally decided to sell you that truck you have been asking to buy for so long. - Great, but what changed your mind? - Oh, nothing, nothing at all. We will however have to ask you to pay us in full for it BEFORE you come here and pick it up...LOL!
It's more like they didn't care about it and then they decided we can sell it. "There will always be someone who could repair it" type mentality, without they themselves understanding the effort it takes to repair it after neglect and rot for years.
Bro there is a 70 Z28 that set so long that there is a large tree growing through the middle of IT AND IT IS NOT FOR SELL FOR ANY PRICE!!!!
There is a 68 ford f100 sitting down the road from me here in the south, I have been asking every few years...No! it was our sons truck that past away....It now has a tree growing out of the bed, and has rust starting to eat thru...Such a waste.. Some people are morons
NO LOW BALLERS I KNOW WHAT I GOT.
My old 74 with a six was sooo nice to do a tune-up on. Had the perfect place to sit.
So much room for activities in that engine bay!
Haha most definitely!
Fantastic!!! When you pulled the tarp off the engine I thought no way they will drive it home with all the parts missing. Forgot who I was watching.
My son just bought his first vintage truck. A retired miner finally decided to let it go. 1990 F150xlt with a 302. Has a bit over 106k miles on it, completely original except exhaust. We begin replacing hoses tomorrow, good to see a real mechanic knowing what to do without computers, kudos to both of yall.
Thanks and be careful
I recommend a little JB Quik to plug that radiator leak temporarily and do not tighten down the radiator cap. Next time.
Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll do that next time, the upper tank had split too so this was simply a quick fix to keep some water in as the radiator is trashed anyways.
Love the work on ole trucks specially with your dad & peace ✌ out bro / 😊
I've got a 1974 Ford F-250 Ranger SuperCab with a 4.9 300 straight six with only 22,000 miles on it. Its a beast. 4 speed granny
My first truck was a 68 F100 with the 240-6, it had no power like the 300-6! I drove it for 10 years and almost sold it but kept it so my new wife could drive my 79 F-150 302-V-8! I put a 71, 302 in it and dual exhaust and I feel in love with it again! That’s the one with the gas tank behind the seat! lol I remember that! Couldn’t fill mine to the top or your smelling gas for a week! lol
I love how y'all give stuff in life a second chance
I love these on these two older Fords! I’ve got a 63 that I’ve been wanting to restore after I bought it about 5-6 years ago but just didn’t have money or know what to do. But after watching the series on the 66 and starting this one I know more and have a starting place! Thank y’all!
you said roadkill style and that gets my subscription every time yeee yeee!!!!
Hay guys even with standing 40 years you can still see it a low mile truck Nice one
My '67 half ton short bed came with a FE 352. When it blew up, it was replaced with a nice 390 by my dad and, I. Mine was a step side too in the forestry green.
I can't wait to see the trip home well done!!!
Love the format of this video with the full "can it run" and everything required in one video and the rest in another. Awesome content as always! Greetings
Love seeing those old Ford trucks come back to life!
Check out some of our old rusty classic cars on our videos and tell us what you think
That's one helluva score finding a bump side ford with the step side bed.
Love revival videos!!
Nice looking truck!
Michael, I'm loving the Roadkill concept idea! It's pretty awesome you and Dad, can go out and rescue vehicles for new homes! Kudo's and keep on keeping on...ha ha ha!
I don't know how they tolerate working in the dirt. Just jacking it up is much bigger chore.
This is why I love older vehicles, not only are they survivors but you can get in the engine bay to work on the engine try that with I need vehicle
Even after the tree fall , it still looks like a survivor . I usually like a short / step Chevy or GMC but got to say this is a good looking truck . It looks restorable from what we can see . Still looks fairly solid .
Agreed. I live old fords and old Chevys. Anything that is old and cool I like. My grandpa’s first car was a 1942 Chevy. And my dad learned to drive in a 67 f100. If it’s old and cool I love it.
That’s a really nice old truck petty it was left outside for. So long
Can’t wait for the next episode 👍👍😍😍
I live in New Hampshire and grew up on those old irons. Drop a tree on it and its got a couple dents... Drop a tree on my 2018 Dodge? and its a taco shaped lawn ornament. I farm all the time with tractors from the 1950's. Its sad, but anything built today won't see 40 years of dormancy and survive like that! You also have to love engines with 8 wires, that you can sit on
You’re very right there! Oh I do! 😃
Ahhhhhh!!!! Yes The days when you could stand inside the engine bey.😆
That is one clean looking truck.
I would fix it and drive it.
That's a great color and motor as well , l like everything about that truck.
Thanks!
@@BudgetBuildz Lraded gasoline was still available until early 1990. The amount of lead was reduced during the 1980's, but didn't disappear from the on-road market until around 1990. I was still running it in February of that year.
Excellent Revival Of That Old F100!!
I love that straight 6, 3 on the tree truck. That's as sweet as they come tight there.
nice work guys, that's what family means!!!
Man, your dad must have been 4 when he had you - he looks more like a brother to you! Nice work on the truck.
This is a cool old truck, to bad that tree fell on it. I am sure u can get it straightened out. Can't wait to see that truck on the road again!!!
Im cracking up so bad rn lol still watching
It's got a 300. Of course it'll run
It's a 240 not 300
I love Revival's like this
Great stuff Michael! Enjoying the Roadkill style vid! I used to have a '72 Nova with a straight six(250 c.i.d) bought used, 63 thousand miles on it. Bought a rebuilt carburetor, installed it and it ran beautifully. I can appreciate the effort put into reviving this truck and hope the new owner will love it with the original engine.
Actually leaded was available into the mid 80's. Cars were required to run unleaded beginning in 1975 but many picks ran leaded into the 80's . Ethanol gas mix for consumers was not a thing until the 90's.
New Sub here- shes a beauty!!!! Clean her up and give her a home!!!
had a brother inlaw had a 1969 f150 with a 429 this was in 1977 and it was a badass truck i know you will get it running the 240 strait 6 had a300 in 1974 mavrick i have faith in you
Project cream puff, and what an amazing Project truck
I had an old Ford pick up just like that except it was Ford blue. There are somethings about the older ones i miss.
9:58, You can see that the rear drum has never been off, the factory speed washer is visible...
Good thing you didn't soak the cylinders before starting it.
They sold leaded gas until around 1986, then they dumped all remaining supplies on the market at once, price dropped to .61c a gallon, I only remember this because at the time I had a 1970 Cutlass S. with a 350 Rocket motor, I was so happy to buy gas that cheap, at the time gas was running around $1 - 1.25 a gallon.
Love the dash on this body style. I'll have a '67 coming up on my channel this winter too.
Very cool! I’ll have to check that out!
Good ole clicky 240 I have a 66 with one rebuilt the thing sounds just like this one sounds like a loud sowing machine😂
Got to love an old carbureted in line 6!
That straight six looks like my GM250 !! just mirrored!
Very cool!
@@BudgetBuildz When good, these six cilinders they sound awesome! mine is 1974 chevrolet but sounds like nothing else.
It's even better. It has 12 individual ports.
Im glad you guys got this thing. That's what happens when you let stuff sit around, a freaking tree falls on it. Keep your stuff together people! I was kinda weirded out when you said 1980 parked, 40 years ago, I'm like damn thats old, oh wait im 1985 born, im 35, crap! A buddy of mine had a straight six in his late 80s, early 90s ford and he beat the hell out of it, never failed him.
Very good show
Put some black pepper in the radiator to get it home! I know it sucks but it will get to a place to get it fixed! If I would’ve kept mine I would’ve put disk breaks on the front, I hated the drum brakes on the front!
My old 1976 f100 was totaled a couple days ago when some girl on her phone rear ended me at a stop sign going 70 don’t want any sympathy just pay respects for an awesome truck
My Grandpa had a 78 that I loved. Lots of great memories going up in the hills and to the lake. It got tboned by someone running a red.
Great video ... look forward to all your vids definitely looking forward to the start and drive it back ...
Love revival vids! keepem coming if you can. TY guys :)
Sweet! settling in for this one!
I love y’all videos and it’s awesome seeing these classics come back to life .... and I’m from Boston Massachusetts
Another awesome vid. Keep rescuing those old wrecks!
Great Job!
this was awesome, super underrated channel
Luke nice and original truck
Living in the rust belt wish I could find a truck that clean here!
I breathe this stuff...
The truck is amazing...
i realy like that truck nice .
Congrats, nice work. That's a nice truck!
for a small rad leak like this, liquid aluminum i a tube, press in hole area, let stand for five minutes, and it should plug the hole. handy to have for such things like this.
Excellent Video
Great Video Mike!!!!!!! Looking forward to the next part of this.
Pretty cool! Watch that starter, sounds like it my be hanging up a little.
Small can of pepper in radiator stops small leaks. Worked for me.
You always find the cool stuff and you make it cooler.
Thanks David!
Awesome content as usual thanks
It’s ALIVE. Great video!
Great deal! That STP additive is the same one you can use in the Porsche 911 motor. You guys mean business; I really like your channel! Thanks for sharing with us.
Great & outstanding,Revival on these olds car abandones,thanks Ford sharing ,Jeep on with dado so great Say hello from panamá,& suscribe Joe,i enjoy your videos & learn.thanks Joe.
Great video
If you left a truck like that outside for 40 years round here, it would just be a big pile of rust by now.
Samantha James
You got that right . I appreciate when someone finds a forgotten vehicle and takes the initiative to get it home and clean it up . Old cars and trucks restored to former glory with a nice paint job and tires always get many looks . Got to admire their spirit . Nice that a young lady has that spirit too .
Lot to good shape to have set that long
Yeah, it doesn't looks like it was 40y old under that wood whitout touch. Someone has been doing some work on it, also it was painted to protect it against rust.
Definitely! I live in Utah and my 1990 f250 has 10 times more rust than that. Lol my 2014 Chevy impala already has rust holes in the doors.
It was tagged in 1997. I appreciate them getting it running but you don’t have to lie to kick it my man lmao
Great job guys!
Check out some of our old rusty classic cars on our videos and tell us what you think
Cant wait for part 2!!
Sweet ride
Thanks!
Wish I could find a '60 to '67 F100 stepside like this with auto and air. Apparently a rare combo.
Most definitely a rare combo!
i think I love that old truck. SUBSCRIBED
Mike
That was a very interesting video mate love these sort of videos you bring us more.please bud
Phil in the uk
I want this truck so bad if i had money this thing would be sitting in my driveway tomorrow
It's cool how you can climb into the engine bay to work on the motor 👍🏻, love your video's, keep it up.
Looks like a truck set on Sheffield drive in Lynchburg Va set in backyard for years. Identical truck
That thing looks great for 40 years jeesh
