I couldn't let this one go. After getting the two trucks next to it running in a previous video,    • Will it run? 3 three old Ford F100s a...   I kept thinking about this one just sitting there waiting for a turn at life. It is in bad shape. The engine is seized tight and parts are missing all over. Come along while I give this one a try!

    Thank you for reviving this dinosaur 🦕. Its a history now...

    Those ol' 4.9s have been bullet proof for me. Had a '78, '80 and I still have my '88. Thanks 👍 That Custom is still pretty solid for her age. With the current price of new and even used trucks so friggin high, she might be worth the trouble...

    We novices learn so much from your revival 'teaching' when you show all your work when getting those beauties running again. The younger generations don't know what their missing when you can fix stuff yourself, especially on the old classic cars. So easy! Also Will and Teresa Saying hi from Chandler AZ!

    Thought this was a junker, parts only. But Richard strikes again. Out of all 3 trucks, I thought this one was a goner. Richard, I stand corrected. Great, killer rescue, and simply EPIC. Much love and respect to you and Christina, from San Diego.❤

    ''Six in a row and you're ready to go, If it's six inline she'll be fine, Inline Six is easy to fix.'' My father always used to say those, be it a GM, Ford, Chrysler gas or diesel inline 6 is the most durable, cheapest and easiest to repair of all engines. Having watched him own many, and owning many myself in my 54 years I'd have to agree. Glad I found your channel about a week ago. Been marathoning your videos in my free time. Absolutely love your gravity fed fuel funnel technique, I might have to steal that myself. haha Great work getting this, and all of the other old iron going again!
  • those are real trucks. Strong then the tin cans they sell these days
  • @fantared5263
    Wow! I thought that thing was doomed. Well done!
  • @TheKeymaster316
    Keep reviving these old Fords and I’ll keep watching. 👍🏻. As soon as I saw this one was a straight 6, I knew it was gonna fire up!
  • @Cheddarrat77

  • You didn’t give up and we’re determine to make it run. Great video engine sounded very good.
  • Now you got to find a three or four speed transmission.... Instrument cluster lot of wiring welding some flooring but hell yeah I take that truck and a split second

    Hey Prague. Good video. I enjoyed it. You are one of those guys that just go looking for trouble.👀😏 And you find it. It is a cool old truck. Amazing my friend what you are getting done. You said that it was hot there. I live in Ontario Canada and it is still cold here. I put out a cold start challenge last week, but I will put this OLD START in the first place. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

    I just got my inline 6 started after about 3 months of sitting after an axle/oil pan breaking accident. I cut the muffler and cat out, and man it puts a smile on my face every time I hear it. I love open exhaust 6 cyls. Awesome video!!! Have a good and blessed one! (Or two)
