Yeah Brother, You were reading my mind about having an upcoming video about fixing the blown out rear end on the '69 Highboy. You keep your channel interesting for us because you have nonstop education for us to watch as you fix the stuff that is broken. We can't get enough brother! I wish I was your neighbor out there!
I got a 67 F-350 Dooley with a 352 in the front and a utility body in the back. I'm three years older than my truck and wish I held up as good. Hell I once lost my rear end after a bowl of chili. Love the content can't wait to see more.
When you got stuck the first time I thought to myself, that rear is hardly spinning, it's gonna let go any time now! And sure enough... lol Good times, thanks for sharing!
Brings back the memories. I had a 68 highboy 360 4 speed, that truck had 4:10 gears in the front and 4:11's in the rear with limited slip. It would go through about anything, just had to make sure you unlocked the hubs before you hit dry pavement.
Still think investing in a decent portable jump/boost starter would be super useful. The better ones can clamp straight to your battery cables with or without a battery. ;)
Man o man…. I thought for sure one of them was going to lose a bumper when you backed the custom up all the way to the high boy… then full throttle!! Nice!! 😊
Awsome adventure! In this fascinating world of vintage vehicles there is an old adage that says "a ratio of 1:4 applies" meaning for every hour of fun, one spends an average 4 hours fixing...😂💪🏽👍🏽
As rough as it is still a good looking old truck if compared to what the loggers used to run back in the day I sure would love to have some of that snow
Those old High boys were tough. They all break sooner or later any vehicle. You may get lucky and it's one of the Axles that Snapped. When it was cold that time and it just smoothed the ends up from spinning so they don't grab no more. Great Video Bud .
Daamn man! You gotta lotta faith in those links far below freezing hitting the end of that chain like that! Down here in the hottest part of Arizona I used to be a developer and excavation contractor. The hottest summer we built a subdivision it was into the 120s most days. I would regularly pull out stuck construction vehicles from the sand like a 50k lb water truck on afternoons like that and watch very large chains stretch as I pulled. The links would go from mostly round to the shape of a Ford blue oval in a couple of seconds and you're sitting directly above it on an open cab tractor with nothing between you and the part of the chain that's coming back to you if it breaks... Ah. I appear to digress. Sorry. Uh, also, dude. That back window won't come between the chain and your head..careful bud. I enjoy your videos very much! Keep up the fun and good work!
Ha! Great stuff as usual! I heard the rear diff making clicking noises in the first hard-pack section. You can see it skipping when it does! I really miss my old 69 F250.
I like Chevy, Chrysler and Ford but this Ford is DEFINITELY A BAD-ASS MO-FO,IT IS VERY WORTHY OF KEEPING IN OPERATING CONDITION.IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DEPENDABLE.THUMBS UP AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ON YOUR VIDEOS.😎🙏✝️💯👍❤️
Cool video! I absolutely love the sound of the exhaust on that pickup! I noticed when you first got stuck for a minute, all wheels were spinning except the right rear. Not sure if that was a symptom of the rear end going out? Looking forward to a video on the rebuild....
Open differentials really sucks but I noticed when you were backing up at the beginning of time stamp 2:24 look at your yoke on the rear diff your rear drive shaft was spinning but neither rear tires were basically hit and miss. I think your spider gears are shot....but anyway I love them ole trucks with a divorce transfer case 👍🏿
Even at the beginning, the passenger wheel wasn't even putting in any efforts and the drivers rear was hardly spinning compared to the front. Good way to send it off!!
BYA, you would definitely win the Cold War Motors Winter Beater Challenge!! But you should steer clear of the deep stuff until you slam a rear locker in the ole highboy! Great Show!
You crazy Alaskan Redneck, that was fun, nothing to worry about, just the spiders went on holiday or maybe long service leave in the case of that old high boy. Your commentary is hilarious "This ship has set sail again" . Where abouts in Alaska are you? Just a latitude would do, just so I can get an idea, I have never seen that much snow in front of me.
I want to get a ‘69 so bad. The same year I was born. I want my son to have it as a workable project. He wants a newer truck, but I won’t own anything new but my two Tundras.
great video - your highboy sounds awesome, double straight piped ? Seems that the chains lead to dragging the wheels deep into snow - poor highboy with the drivetrain going out. Keen to see the next video fixing the rear differential.
I love it yes keep doing this it sucks to break parts but if your not breaking stuff your not having fun. The rear end looked lazy early in the vida I think she was cooked already. Maybe its time for one of those military trucks to strut there snow stuff, just saying. Thanks for sharing
Your trucker buddy once said your name but my short memory allowed me to forget that very quickly. Why of course I did enjoy and will share with guys whom are devoted"Chevy guys" if to nothing else, just p**s them off. I'm also going to share with Junkyard digs who are ford people. I don't want that "southern crowd" showing up in alaska because we have enough snowbirds here. Did you pick (I should know) the rig the 337 should go into? Is it a work in progress? Just a bunch of questions hu?
I got my grandads 74 dentside highboy and that body is junkkkkk. But i have wondered if a bumpside body will bolt down to the frame? Im not sure but i will try. Its a good drivetrain with the ole 300 i6 and 4spd.
Gotta love these old Ferds, I have a '05 GMC Sierra reg cab stepside Z71 4x4 4.8L (black with grey interior), extremely good condition, 50k or 30,000 miles ish, will do trade for good cond '77-86 F150 or bronco 4x4,
You either ate the teeth off of the spider gears or broke the cross pin. Being as it was still one wheel and I highly doubt the ring gear or pinion are to blame. Should be somewhat of a simple fix. Id just gut it and put a mini spool and a chromoly crosspin in it personally if its not limited slip. You would have more in fluid then parts. Some of factory lsd differentials will accept one without issues but some won't 🤷♂️ I know a Chevrolet won't but I just put one in my 9in with a factory limited slip and it fit like a glove and works just fine. $35 in parts including an axle seal with shipping and about $40 in fluid
Nothing like ford to me I have step bed 77 ford f150 straight 6 300 inline t8 4 sp transmission and I kp my maintenance cheap parts and out here upstate NY snow a lot cold like hell sometimes and I can say this she never give me problem to start plus first gear is like 4x4 slow and easy and torque like the mountains I did a couple mods nothing fancy i put short header like a manifold and Toyota carburetor electronic distributor etc old school style hillbilly mountains style and man man she can hustle her way out like I said that t8 transmission work better than 4x4 to me plus she sounds if she is on steroids jjjjj old school people don't believe that she is a straight six 300 inline but ford motors are the best to me special small blocks gd video amigo but I stay with my straight 6 300 inline and the t8 transmission this combination is perfect for any terrain in my opinion
I guess I'll have to wait another 13 minutes to go to bed. Nothing like some chains and an old Ford.
That's spirit just because you only have front wheel drive dosen't mean your fun is over.
It looked like it was pretty much front wheel drive when you started. It was barely spinning the rears when you went in the first snowbank.
"Ya gotta be one thing, ya gotta be efficient..." Amen, Brother!
1967 to 1979 ford f series, bump&dents, best pick up trucks ever made.
My only correction would be beginning in '65..
Time for a Lincoln / miller rear locker 🤏 also that John deer consent in a can crazy uncle peg would be proud 👌👌
Lincoln/Miller rear locker... I like that 😎
These trucks have flawless 'patina' !
Yeah Brother, You were reading my mind about having an upcoming video about fixing the blown out rear end on the '69 Highboy.

* Another great instructive vid Austin. You would have made a very good High School Auto Shop teacher. Course that doesn't pay very well so ... 😖
I hope theres a rear end video in the future about the highboy!
I got a 67 F-350 Dooley with a 352 in the front and a utility body in the back. I'm three years older than my truck and wish I held up as good. Hell I once lost my rear end after a bowl of chili. Love the content can't wait to see more.
Love the look of those trucks

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy 😂
Red Green approved handy highboy 🤪👌
That's a rude comment ...
That 'ol kinetic dump chain action
Another fun video have some more fun fixing it don't forget to invite me along for the ride☃️
Love to see it! 2:00 that rear end is toast, front axle is doing all the work.
Truly enjoy your videos, I as well enjoy old trucks!! Cheers from Washington near the Cascades!
Your video reminds me of me playing with my old truck too.
Still think investing in a decent portable jump/boost starter would be super useful. The better ones can clamp straight to your battery cables with or without a battery. ;)
Man o man…. I thought for sure one of them was going to lose a bumper when you backed the custom up all the way to the high boy… then full throttle!! Nice!! 😊
Another project for the the project master.
I can't even imagine how absolutly unstoppable that beaut would be with a welded rear
A good Mini spool can do the same result actually easier and reversible if you want.
@@TheLionAndTheLamb777 why would you not want it locked? Help me understand
Awsome adventure! In this fascinating world of vintage vehicles there is an old adage that says "a ratio of 1:4 applies" meaning for every hour of fun, one spends an average 4 hours fixing...😂💪🏽👍🏽
Don't say that, you'll put the youngsters off, let them find out for themselves.
That applies to everything when you're too stupid to fix it correctly the first time. Not a "vintage vehicle" problem.
As rough as it is still a good looking old truck if compared to what the loggers used to run back in the day I sure would love to have some of that snow
I knew you were building another front wheel drive truck! Yet another Ridgeline.
Great video thanks for sharing.
Way cool, didn't get enough snow here in PA, to get the old jeep out for that type of fun.
Yeah my plow truck is sadly neglected this season in NJ. Hoping we get a better second half of the season 🤷
Another project to do now. I thought the rear wasn’t helping when the hard pack stopped you. 😂👍
Great to see the old lady still moving around. She always work. Thank you for sharing. Always look forward to your next adventure. Keep warm.
Ford // got to love them
This brought to mind the '56 Dodge transmission, good luck.

That Ford power steering wine
Ha! Great stuff as usual! I heard the rear diff making clicking noises in the first hard-pack section. You can see it skipping when it does! I really miss my old 69 F250.
Loving the HiBoy content , keep it up !!!
Man, i thought for sure one of those bumpers was coming off! Really fun watching your videos.
I like Chevy, Chrysler and Ford but this Ford is DEFINITELY A BAD-ASS MO-FO,IT IS VERY WORTHY OF KEEPING IN OPERATING CONDITION.IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DEPENDABLE.THUMBS UP AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ON YOUR VIDEOS.😎🙏✝️💯👍❤️

That's just way there rear end acts in them when you get on wheel that won't spin my 77 and 78 are the same way.
Awesome entertainment!!!
Thanks
Yes that poor old truck needs so TLC its had a hard life. Hope you will be able to give it a few well earned upgrades
Where do you start? Radio? Gotta have tunes. Windshield and wiper? Another headlight? Maybe a diff?
I’ve blown the ring gear on my Dana 60 rear from a decent acceleration with my 7.3 idi turbo! I swapped in a sterling 10.25
I needed to start my day with a good belly laugh 😂 Thank you from the East Coast
Great video. Have fun in the snow!
cool video, and I like your style
Well at least you had the best end of the truck still working. Ha!
Maybe show us an autopsy.
🤠👍 Stayin tuned!
Hey in the lower 48 front wheel drive is all the rage on cars and SUV's
It ain't car commercial snow no more. That poor old screw must have seen some hard years.
Ole high center
Time for two Lincoln Lockers on that rig.
Back up until you hear glass breaking .We got a little snow hear in southern Maine .I have an RRTV ,rusted ranger truck vehicle Fwd of coarse .
Cool 😎
Badass Sir. !!!

Shame it broke but looking forward to watching you fix it up
Even at the beginning, the passenger wheel wasn't even putting in any efforts and the drivers rear was hardly spinning compared to the front. Good way to send it off!!
when you went into the hard pack it was obvious that the rear end was just along for the ride.
BYA, you would definitely win the Cold War Motors Winter Beater Challenge!! But you should steer clear of the deep stuff until you slam a rear locker in the ole highboy! Great Show!
Have welder, have locker.
Don't worry bout low range 2 gear slam it's fine 👌
Great video man
The truck sounds great!
Ford tuff 💪
Hey, sounds like y’all are having a heat wave. I love your trucks. They sure as hell don’t make a real 4 wheel drive these days.
You crazy Alaskan Redneck, that was fun, nothing to worry about, just the spiders went on holiday or maybe long service leave in the case of that old high boy. Your commentary is hilarious "This ship has set sail again" . Where abouts in Alaska are you? Just a latitude would do, just so I can get an idea, I have never seen that much snow in front of me.
I want to get a ‘69 so bad. The same year I was born. I want my son to have it as a workable project. He wants a newer truck, but I won’t own anything new but my two Tundras.
Id make that my new daily/tow rig
That thing will be a beast once you fix the rear end! Still got pretty far with only front wheel drive
Heck yeah just subscribed
Get a second short chain n put a 10 ply tire in-between. Best bungee results. Anything short of 10 ply generally gets ripped in half!
Now you can put a possie rear end in it and just bomb through that hard pack.
great video - your highboy sounds awesome, double straight piped ? Seems that the chains lead to dragging the wheels deep into snow - poor highboy with the drivetrain going out. Keen to see the next video fixing the rear differential.
I love it yes keep doing this it sucks to break parts but if your not breaking stuff your not having fun. The rear end looked lazy early in the vida I think she was cooked already. Maybe its time for one of those military trucks to strut there snow stuff, just saying. Thanks for sharing
I noticed when the truck was spinning the rear wheel was not turning as much as the front wheels.
Woof, dat’s ruff 😂
I thought it was a little off when the backs weren't spinning in the beginning
Hilarious how you doubled the usefulness of your chain. It's probably stretched so bad you can use it for pulling or pushing.
and it’s funny how I’ve yet to break one.
Nice video. #bumpside
I think the back end failed because it wanted more camera time. 🤣
thruogh that snow mobile in the back next time better for my heart that way. limited slip rear end ya think. twothumbsup
How far was the walk to get the '79? Not too far I hope. Keep having fun and sharing with us.

I always thought Ford should have retro styled their 150 to look like the old late 60’s and 70’s pickups like they did with the mustang.
had me a front wheel drive 56 international for a few weeks 40 years ago, bitch finding an axle for it
I got my grandads 74 dentside highboy and that body is junkkkkk. But i have wondered if a bumpside body will bolt down to the frame? Im not sure but i will try. Its a good drivetrain with the ole 300 i6 and 4spd.
👍 👍 👍 👍
Address that rear end issue load it up with firewood and go for another run Send it!
Might throw a little mini bike in bed for heading back to house
Open diffs are a bummer.
Gotta love these old Ferds, I have a '05 GMC Sierra reg cab stepside Z71 4x4 4.8L (black with grey interior), extremely good condition, 50k or 30,000 miles ish, will do trade for good cond '77-86 F150 or bronco 4x4,
Blew out the spider gears or broke a axle.
Fix Or Replace Differential
4:44 front wheel drive still!
You either ate the teeth off of the spider gears or broke the cross pin. Being as it was still one wheel and I highly doubt the ring gear or pinion are to blame. Should be somewhat of a simple fix.

?? IF THAT FORD WOULD HAVE HAD 4WD DO U THINK IT WOULD HAVE WENT RIGHT THROUGH THAT DEEP PACKED SNOW ??
Oh No! 69 Hi Boy only has one eye. Can not see the deep snow.
Nothing like ford to me I have step bed 77 ford f150 straight 6 300 inline t8 4 sp transmission and I kp my maintenance cheap parts and out here upstate NY snow a lot cold like hell sometimes and I can say this she never give me problem to start plus first gear is like 4x4 slow and easy and torque like the mountains I did a couple mods nothing fancy i put short header like a manifold and Toyota carburetor electronic distributor etc old school style hillbilly mountains style and man man she can hustle her way out like I said that t8 transmission work better than 4x4 to me plus she sounds if she is on steroids jjjjj old school people don't believe that she is a straight six 300 inline but ford motors are the best to me special small blocks gd video amigo but I stay with my straight 6 300 inline and the t8 transmission this combination is perfect for any terrain in my opinion
