- Here is the first video of my attempt to revive this old 1969 Ford F100 we found. Watch as I walk through the diagnosis of missing parts and reassembly of the motor in this old truck.
Let's see if we can get this thing back on the road soon! Stay tuned for more videos and thanks for watching!

Can't kill those old Fords. Watching you get it going reminds me of how my dad used to work on engines. Great job
i am amazed that no weeds trees and brush had grown up around this truck
As someone who has owned close to 100 of the 67-72 Ford trucks most of which were junkyard rescues I must say you did an excellent job getting the old girl up and going again. That 360 will last a lifetime if you beat the hell out of it and probably 2 lifetimes if you take care of it properly. Dual exhaust and a factory 4 barrel carb and intake will really wake it up.
That sounds like a lot of trucks. I am working on a video to swap a 4 bbl manifold/ carb etc and see what kind of power gains it delivers
what impressed me more than anything else is to see someone so obviously young with so much knowledge, interest and determination, thumbs up man hoping gleefully to see more videos of you and the old girl.
Well done sir🤘🤘
I'll take that as a compliment coming from you! I watch a ton of your videos. Thanks!
Getting a positive feed back from junkyard dogs you sir are on the right track
I subbed , but I don't know what it means 🙂
Junkyard Digs is why this video was in my suggested videos. Nice job!
@@everybodysFavCowboy Junkyard Dogs does not sound too bad for a channel name either, right?
I love the sounds of the wildlife in this video reminds me of being a kid in Arkansas.
It's nice to see someone of this day and age doing old school mechanics! Great job bud keep up the good work!
I have a 69' f100 as well. Bought mine running, but after watching all your videos I learned a ton. Glad your video came across my feed, hope to see more not just for the entertainment but to learn more about fixing and maintaining mine as well.
Glad you guys are finding the videos useful! Motivation to make some more
This truck is as old as I am. It's also in much better shape. Awesome job! Love these old trucks.
Lol there are more comments telling this guy to “ignore the negative comments” than there are actual negative comments.
Dude, you’re a boss. It takes real knowledge and skill to take an engine like that and diagnose what it needs to get it running. Keep it up!
Finally someone that has a plan, brings needed stuff and buys parts! Subbed
Just discovered your channel and I love it. Last week I bought a '77 F150 4x4 with a 351W & 4 speed manual, should arrive in about 8 more days. I can't wait to start upgrading it. Thanks for what you're doing. Love the videos.
nice! Hopefully you will find some of the stuff in these videos helpful, or entertaining. I try to just keep the build changing, and keep the content coming.
That is way too cool to stay abandoned, and those are super easy to work on. I love the patina you should driver her just like she is.
best thing about this truck no computer or any emissions crap
Fine job young man. Ignore the negative comments on here. I'm impressed with your knowledge. Look forward to more videos.
Giving life and hope to a truck is wonderful. I have passion for vehicles too.my daddy had a '58 Buick supercharger and a old truck...how I miss those.
I thought exactly the same @Ernest, great job young man, you deserve the accolade, hope I catch the finished truck, "I think I know what you would say to the negative comments lol"
what negative comments?
Just getting ready to restore a 1968 Dodge truck with my son so I've been having him watch videos so he's familiar with how cars were back then. This is one of the best videos I have seen especially on the ignition system. Great job!
I just got the exact same truck in similar condition... looking forward to following your page
nice! hopfully you post of videos when you get it going!
You explain this very well, and you are organised too. Nice.
Another old Ford saved!!
Good job. It is refreshing to see someone know what their talking about instead of making it up
I like the way this guy states every step by step.
Haters gonna hate. This guy's doing great. Not an idiot who criticizes from his cushy computer chair. At least he's doing something.
My Business Only That probably you.
Way to go young man you got her up and running
Thank you for saving another ford truck. I have a 70 F100 and I have plans to refresh it.
Reminds me a lot of my '71... congrats on saving that it won't let you down.
Nice save! I'm really surprised she kicked over as fast as she did on the ether. Usually it takes at least a second or so of cranking. She was ready to be brought back.
Good video. Glad to see it saved. These are some of my favorite trucks.
1957-1979..my favorite truck FOMOCO years..
Damn, wish I could find a '69 just sitting around somewhere. Beats the stuffins out of any new vehicle.
My dad found one for $500 and he bought it. He gave it to me and now I’m saving to restore it now so I can drive it as my first vehicle
You are smart. I hope you never give up on CZcams... you have major potential
Damn dude, you deserve way more subscribers, I love seeing old vehicles being revived, and you did a great job with this project.
Thanks! The channel is still pretty new, and growing very quickly... its good motivation to keep creating videos and fun content
So informative! I learned so much! Thank you!
Yes it will. Old fords never die
Lots of detail in the diagnosis and information. Keep up the good work!
That truck is in such great shape wish I came across it
First vehicle I ever owned was a 74 F100 with a 240 i6. Next to no horsepower, but enough torque to take you up the side of a cliff. Had a busted motor mount, which would allow the engine to twist and the clutch linkage to fall out the bottom of the truck, if you let out on the clutch too hard. Took me forever to notice the busted mount. I spent a lot of time chasing clutch parts down the road. haha.
HAHA! That would have been a tough diagnosis, especially being young and inexperienced. No way to really see that with the truck in the driveway.
you deserve more subs/views...these old trucks are becoming more valuable..good luck..
Yes he dose
She's alive!!!👍
This is a truck worth saving!
I love them old Ford trucks!
I'll give you 2 grand for it the way it sits.
I think you're on to a winner. You did a great job. Good Luck for the future you've got a great opportunity ahead of you.
"Running when it was parked" translation "This is where it died at".
Hahahaha that's the story of every used engine I have ever purchased. Spun bearings, bent valves, bad cam bearings etc. I think I've learned people don't pull good running engines out of cars
The light was on when it suddenly got dark. What ahppened
Awesome vid👏..its beautiful to see it freed back to the road
She's lives! Congratulations!
Nice to see young guy check it out . Trying to find the why
Nice job by taking your time to address the critical issues with this old truck.
some guys have horns on they're hood, you've got branches on you're roof. lol. fine job, brings back lotsa memories!
That’s awesome!
Rewarding!!
Great job kid!✌😎👍it should be restored!
Great video, I could watch these old Ford truck resurrections every day, never gets old. Looking forward to the followup video. Not sure where the criticism is coming from but you seem to know your way around a truck. She sounds really solid!
HAHA! I don't know why a few people are so angry about watching a guy wrench on an old truck... they clicked on the video and watched it. I sometimes find myself watching the footage while I'm editing the videos thinking "whats this guy going to do next?" And I'm the one that did all the work.
There you go. That's how you do it. Lot more work to do yet but well on your way.
Even this lady can appreciate beautiful vehicles like this.when I was little my daddy had a 1958 Buick supercharger. Build like a tank and very beautiful, how I miss that car.love to see something like that being found even restored on one of these websites.just one look would be so nice.
Front axle has a problem but well done getting it going!
yeah lots of bad noises from the front axle that need to be addressed.
Excellent job and keep going too !
I'm not a Ford guy, but I once had a 71 F100 and I really miss it sometimes. I paid like $800 for it and whoever had it before me put a big block V8 with an awesome sounding exhaust. The only thing wrong with it was the rear diff needed replacing. I would have kept it, but I got it in California and would have had to drive it over 3000 miles when gas was about $4 a gallon and without seatbelts lol.
"93 out of 100 Ford pickup registered in the past 12 years are still in the job" or something like this.
That beautiful truck has so much more in it to give.great job.
am I the only one whose gonna bring up how damn loud those bugs are or whatever is making all that racket in the background lol my lord
Cicadas
you get used to them down here in the south. after a while it is actually spooky to not hear them when you're in the woods. After all any forested area that does not have some noise is an indication that something is making the wild life cower in silence, and if wasn't you up to that point, its something else. I live not even 15 minutes from a small city, and only an hour from A major urban area, but i have seen feral hogs, coyotes and even a very large cat or two in this area.
@@scottjackson1636 we have them up here in MN as well (only in the summer obviously) but man they are noisy
@@scottjackson1636 I’m totally used to it since i live in georgia
@@yoshuaposhua25 Same here in Texas. When they stop and the birds go silent, I start watching the trees. For some reason I have this fear of a cougar just dropping on my back while I am out hunting.
Starting at the beginning after seeing where you currently are. I didn't know it was a 69 like mine. Awesome! Can't wait to see how it all unfolds for you.
Love seeing a young person working with old school technology,the stuff I grew up working on,one tip don't leave it running on 12 volt very long, it'll cook your points in a short time,Ford used a bypass on the solenoid that put 12VDC to start then key is released it goes back to lower voltage (don't remember exactly how much) to run
I did move it back to the factory ignition wire pretty quick. The coil was getting really hot on the 12V wire.
Fantastic video! I loved seeing it move out of the woods under its own power. Way to go, man! 👍🏻
Definitely has a small vacuum leak, you can hear it when you throttle it. Other than that, very well done video buddy. You definitely have the knowledge 💪🤜🤛
Love seeing old ford trucks drive out of their graves
Really good video. Would love F100.
Very nice work!
At 13:30 you state that you should see the spark from the distributor going thru the spark plug. Such is not the case. You had the plug hooked to the coil instead. What you should have gotten was a steady, uninterrupted spark. The distributor was receiving no power whatsoever. If you had the distributor hooked up, you would have seen a spark every time the rotor hit that plug, assuming you had spark in the first place.
Yeah I should have been a little more clear there. I was only checking the functionality of the points and condenser at that point to see if they were triggering the coil. The coil firing the plug was the pass / fair criteria for that test.
Looks to be either a 360 or 390 block. Either way, the info will definitely help me set the points in my ‘68 for sure
I measured the stroke with a small piece of metal in the spark plug hole, recently... and its just a 360
Man, I had a 74 f100 it had a 390 but had a 2 barrel, had dual exhaust with glass packs, sounded cool, wish I still had it !
@Terry Melvin I had bought that truck in 1977 from my uncle, he was into fixing up cars, he probably put in the 390 !
Great Video! You did a great job explaining everything you did to get this jewel running again. I had a 69' just like it except it was blue and white. We called her "blue bomber." Steering issues plagued the vehicle and I basically keep the junk yards in business. I have to admit looking back on keeping her running was very fun. Looks like you are having good times as well.
Word of caution NEVER stand over or in line of a fan when racing an unknown engine. My neighbor did and he lost most of an ear and was knocked uncontious when a blade from an old six cylinder engine from a 1952 Chevy truck came loose and struck him in the head. A few more inches and he would have been killed so don't worry about some old dead critters worry about yourself. Otherwise good video.
Ok so my over caution isn't cowardice. That's good to know.
This also happened to a cousin of mine, who is scarred for life across his face as his parents had to slide it back on cause it was just hanging there. It’s not a joke.
Similar thing happened to my cousin ...hit em in the jaw ..he now wears a partial and has nasty scar as reminder
This comment is funny to me because I was just working my 78 f150 after months of sitting.
I was taking the fan off and realized the four bolts were not tight at all. After a few years of owning it I can’t tell you how many times i gave it hell from under the hood lol, accident waiting to happen. Point is don’t do it even if you kinda know the motors past
You’re on the right track buddy, don’t listen to the dinguses in the comments lol.
Good job making that run again it runs on all eight for sure. After a carb rebuild it will purr. The ford 2 barrels are a breeze to rebuild. Make an update video after you fix the breaks and power valve in the bottom of the carb well clean it and put the kit in but the power valve in the bottom of the float bowl is leaking.

Nice! you just got to wonder why they get too these conditions and those damn critters chewing wires.. sheesh. I just got an old 71 W200 up and running bombing around in it everyday and its getting better and better...
That ground wire inside the distributor goes under the screw head not under the points. Your points are not going to sit flat in the distributor the way you did it. Just a tip.
Good tip, I have to assume they were changed in the past... and I assumed someone put it all back how they found it. Hows that saying go.... "when you assume...?"
Thanks for the great video! I have one of these old ford f100s... now I have some knowledge to get it started! Thanks again!👍
Awesome. Would make a great restoration.
Hope to see continued
The only time you have to worry about adding zinc to the oil is on a fresh rebuild . New cam and lifters. After its broken in then your good.
Put fresh gas in the tank to drain the old gas out new battery and spark plugs and you're a good
Great Job,,nice video
What does Matt Damon need with a 69 ford F100
Long live the FE
Good job buddy
Just discovered your channel. I love how methodically you are in your approach. Slow is fast. Very cool.
the fe can be your best friend out dair strong and dependable. is why we own one since 1988. good luck wit her now,,
Check out the other videos on the channel, I rebuilt that engine and transformed it into a warmed up 390, it turned out to be a really strong and fun engine!
Here in Ontario (Canada), trucks in much worse shape go for thousands of $$$. That thing is so cool. Jealous of your find and your skills...
It usually is stamped on the intake or all mine did, and the timing order as well which I'm sire you knew that. Ford tough
I learned so much with this video, man, Thanks!
I been looking for that try 38years
That truck is awesome I would love to have a truck like that
Man i see these videos, and think.. How lucky these guys are finding these gems... How the hell you find them, would love to find a old truck like this
Hey bro, you're like a mix of Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon 😄. Looking forward to watching your videos for notes and ideas😎🤙
You should upload more. Your boss are fun to watch
I meant vids not boss
I would love to have at least 40% of your engine knowledge.
I’m impressed with your knowledge and gumption. Keep up the good work and I will subscribe.
Saving private Ryan's 1969 f150
Great find!
I’d check out the front right wheel when you pulled it out it moved back and forth a few inches
Haha yeah I think those radius arm? bushings are pretty much gone
Love them on Ford pick ups have a 69 myself a ranger short box
Great video!! Can't wait to watch the next one!
Great job on your video, well explained.
Al right! Even got it to move!
Hope you connected the original hot lead back to the ignition coil and stopped using the jumper. Those hot leads are supposed to be a resistor wire and drop it to about 8 volts. You might burn up the coil if you stay with full 12 volts.
yeah, I did pretty quickly. The coil would get hot quickly being powered off 12V. It actually still worked once I got the ignition cylinder working again.
@@330_garage3 that's great. Glad you caught that. The coil looks to be the original. Mine looked like that on my '72. It gave out way back in 1994. I was trying to adjust timing and suddenly began running worse and worse. Barely got to shop entrance and engine just died and coasted in. Glad I didn't get stranded. Good luck with the truck. They are really nice to have.
Increible Amigo... Increible...
Feliz Navidad...
Hey man, gr8 vid. Thanks. Love watching stuff like this!
