Great video!! While I can appreciate your intention to re-power your F-100 (I still own the '70 Sport Custom w/360 my dad ordered new in '69), I must say that I love your wagon! Shortly before my dad bought his F-100, his mother bought a new '69 LTD Brougham 4 dr hardtop with the "K" code 429 2V engine. I loved that car. So much so, that decades later I found an always-garaged Arizona kept 1969 LTD Country Squire wagon - like yours - with the "N" code 429 4V engine. I still have it, although I should give it more exercise than I do. I've always loved the 429 and 460 big Fords from that era!

The roof was smashed in (not severely) and there was a bit of fender damage. My Father got a super deal on it and spent weeks jacking the roof back up close to shape and then slapping on the bondo. When it was all done, it looked great. We drove the $hit out of that car. Family vacations heavily loaded down with camping gear, mini bikes, etc. Sold it with over 200000 miles on it 10 years later.

When Burt Reynolds was the man ... good flick.

We had a 1971 Ford Country Squire wagon. Us kids thought, it was cool with the seats, we could pull up in the back. They faced eachother on the 1971, if I recall? At a glance, it looked like your 1969. Don't know what engine it had. Maybe a 351C? It was a V8, but most wagons had those. I remember Dad & Mom complaining about it, & it always being in the shop, so they only kept it 2 years. It broke down, when we were on vaction in the middle of no where. There no cell phones back then to call a wrecker or other help. Dad was able to flag some guys down in a pick up, using some sort of Masonic gesture. It was a secret gesture, so Dad had us turn our backs, so we couldn't see it. Anyhow, Masons were more common then, so the guys in the pick up who were also Masons not only stopped, they went to the trouble of towing us to the next town with their truck with ropes or chains, even though it was 20 miles away. Dad, Mom, my 5 siblings & our housekeeper (9 people in all) were all piled into that Wagon with a luggage carrier on top. It could have been nightmare, but those righteous men in the pick up, helped us. I haven't thought of that breakdown in years, until just now. No wonder Dad got rid of the 1971 Country Squire & replaced it with a Datsun 610 in 1973. We couldn't all fit into it of course, but we didn't vaction often anyway, as Dad was self employed. I don't know, what all went wrong with it, but I remember, that breakdowns became fairly prevalent in American cars, even before the Malaise era kicked in.

The piece of rope holding the power steering pump up?🤣 apparently the bracket broke who knows how many years ago, and that was one of the reasons they parked it

@@rustynutsgarage4099 I had a 63 Skylark the motor mounts were rotted and a nylon rope going from upper control arm across the valve covers holding the engine down. The gas tank was also in the trunk due to the straps rusting through! I guess that’s what you get for a $40 car.

The belt was already off the pump, there was no clearance issues for any obvious danger. I was wondering if anybody was going to see that. LOL sharp eye there

Can you imagine how much that car would be worth if it was fully restored?

If this is a from the factory set up, with matching numbers, I would wonder how many were made, the value could be Trible digits if restored..

Good point

Very cool wagon! YOU are a Brave man to stand with your face over that fan thats been sitting with the rivets corroding for decades. LoL Invest in a few tripod mounts for whatever your filming with & your video quality will increase greatly.

I appreciate your advice, and I appreciate you being here. You are right, about the tripod and all, I have gopros, I need to use them more, but I usually think of these videos on the fly at the shop. Thanks again for watching

@rustynutsgarage4099 No problemo... I'm about to start a new channel myself for this 78 Zephyr I'm building. We're going after the fastest stock block 302 with stoke stroke record... She'll be receiving a couple large 🍼 to suck on while showing the LS bandwagon crowd FORD tail lights
