Will it run with minimal tools and time? 1975 Ford F250 rotting amongst the trees.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I showed up to this place to pick up a 50 Chevy. When I spotted this Ford, my first thought was whether I can get it to run, but unprepared, short on time, and with minimal tools, can I? With no time to prep, the camera angles are not the best, but this is as unfiltered as it gets!

    Nice job Richard. I’m assuming you didn’t purchase the truck? Is that the first flat bed you’ve done on the channel ? The reason I ask is that I do think the standard truck bed has a much nicer look, and I cannot remember if you had done a flat bed before. I expected a V8 inside it….I was surprised to see a 6 cylinder. Would that make it underpowered?. Anyway nice job…as always. Cheers ,…John

    My brother bought a new F250 3/4 ton with a 300 six 4 speed in 1975. It would haul a skid of cement blocks and the tail hardly dropped at all haha. We only used 1st gear if there was a load in the bed because 1st was geared so low. Generally we used 2nd for moving out. No road feel with the steering wheel at all, but it was a fun truck to drive. Nice to see one running again.

    Biden VASTLY exceeds "Let's Go Brandon" when it comes to inept failure... and in being ideologically corrupt. Compared to Biden, Carter is a saint. Yes, the old guy is 99 and still kicking though his wife just passed a few days ago. Carter will go soon, as I understand it, he's in hospice care. That usually translates into a person not being able to care for themselves and the end is near as the mind is going or gone. Biden won't last even close to Carter in age - that's obvious based on his clearly diminished mental capacity at 80! Woe unto the USA if that lunatic gets re-elected!! - Max Giganteum

    Judging from the Red Bull cans in the interior of the truck, I would say that it has not been sitting more the ten years, at the most. I would agree with your assessment that it has been off the road for a long time. It was probably retired as a full time work truck a long time ago, but they just kept it to use around the property. That explains the lack of a plate.

    Don't underestimate the 300 6 cylinder. The displacement is 4.9 liters. They have a longer stroke, so there is plenty of low-end torque for pulling. I own a 78 F100 with a 300 6cyl. and a 3-speed manual transmission. There are plenty of upgrades you can do to a 300. In my opinion it is a very good engine. I have owned mine for 27 years.

    At approximately 9:35... pouring MMO down the carb isn't going to free up a stuck valve on an overhead valve engine such as the Ford 300. Valves stick in the guides (baring a cylinder so loaded with rust that the valves physically cannot move due to the massive amounts of corrosion!). The most likely occurrence was that there was slight corrosion on one or more of the cylinder walls but it wasn't so bad that you couldn't push it off by applying torsional force at the end of the crankshaft. In other words, the surface rust was scraped off by the rings. The odds are high that the valves were free moving. By the way, the smart play is to always pop off any valve covers when you go to start a long dormant engine. This accomplishes several things including: 1. You ensure that there is no debris deposited on top of the head by critters. 2. You can visually inspect the valvetrain for any obvious damage. 3. You can visually inspect the valvetrain for proper movement as you slowly turn over the engine by hand. 4. You can physically tap on the end of the valve stems if needed thus assuring movement. With #3, any stuck valves are totally obvious. With #4, any sticky valves will be obvious. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

    Great seeing you doing this Richard, I try to do as much as I can myself but it’s getting hard to find vehicles to do anything with around my area. I am in North Central Kentucky. If you’re ever down around this way doing anything I need a hand give me a shout we could collaborate together with our channels.

    Hi Andrew. You are right about the key. That is likely why the alternator was not working, since on Fords the charging circuit runs through it. I had forgotten about that!

    Hello Richard. Wow, It’s amazing how smooth those 300s are with just a little bit of work. I absolutely love those engines because of the low end torque that they deliver and their lugging power in which it seems like the 300 engine is the most happy under the most severe use. Regarding the bottle for squirting the gas into the carburetor, I now save my 20 ounce ketchup squirt bottles because the bottles are not too cumbersome and the top doesn’t let the gas pour out unless you are squeezing the contents out. The ketchup bottles would also be an excellent way to squirt in either the Berryman B12 or SeaFoam fuel treatment without going overboard One thing that I do with my stuff usually during early spring to clean out any varnish buildup is to mix a heavy dosage of Berryman B12 with the gasoline.and run the 7734(Remember that calculator trick) out of the engine. With that said, I was actually thinking that you could do the exact same thing with your portable hanging gas tank that you use while keeping the remaining contents of your can of Berryman B12 or even the Mystery Oil for pouring directly into the carburetor. And Yes, The Marvel Mystery Oil is great for areas of heavy mosquito infestation(LOL). The Ford 300 engines were the only engines that survived when they had sand poured in when they did the buyback program a few years back according to Pat on @PowerNation and he knows how to build a wicked engine or so and some very wicked 300’s.

    @@whattherust Well Richard, the absolutely neat thing about the ketchup bottle is that it is something that you would never think in a million years about as far as being useful for anything other than it’s intended purpose. So one day, I was getting ready to toss my empty bottle into the recycling container one day and instead took it over to my water hydrant rinsed it out with water and noticed how well that the top of the bottle sealed with none of the water coming out unless I really squeezed the bottle. I liked the 20oz bottles because they were not so big but yet held a fair amount of whatever you would want to use it for. The larger ketchup bottle would also work nicely as well and have the exact same flip top as the 20oz bottle. Those smaller bottles remind me of the plastic squeeze bottles that was used at the gas stations several years ago in the full service aisle to wet down the windshield before the squeegees with the sponge became widespread. I was really impressed with the transformation of the 1975 Ford from being seized to purring like the 300s are known for. If my memory serves me correctly, I would say that truck has the T-18 transmission which would probably crawl when In first gear or “Bulldog” gear as we always called it. My other 1985 F-150 has basically the same configuration other than having the TFI electronic ignition and my truck has a New Process NP-435 4 speed transmission.

    Oh, those type of trucks are my favorite from Ford. Too bad they were never imported here in East of Europe. Even with my savings I can't import one from USA. I wish I could, it looks cooler than any plastic modern "car". I've seen older vehicles that have good body, the owners just swap more economical newer engine.

    I'd be willing to bet that people in your part of the world have far more appreciation for something like this than most of us here in the States. There are still a lot of us who understand the value of these earlier vehicles, and appreciate the better quality of materials and workmanship, but often those of us who feel that way are thought of as rednecks and hillbillies, or just "behind the times" by the contemporary urban hipsters. What they all fail to realize is that once you get an older car up and running and properly restored, you have something of far greater quality, less complicated, and will hold its value, and even increase over time. Unfortunately our culture is obsessed with NEW! NEW! NEW! every 5 minutes, and "when it goes out of style, toss it on the pile". It doesn't surprise me when people in other parts of the world think of us as wasteful, spoiled, lazy pigs who respect nothing and destroy everything. But we're not all like that. We're not all consumer zombies. Some of us understand the value of things like this old truck.
