You guys have the best informative videos.Had a 77 model but could have done with a 4 speed auto.Emily you are an absolute treat.From melbourne Australia
Gotta love when the garage munchkins can get in there and help out. I love that you guys are getting the next generation into wrenching.
Especially with cars getting more and more difficult to work on nowadays. It's GREAT to see young ones actually getting excited and enjoying themselves wrenching on cars.
I love to see Emily working with the children! She has so much patience with them. It's so nice to see!
You look just as amazing with glasses.... But, i got to say i just love your passion for wrenching.
And how you guys bring people together. plus the involvement
with the kids.
I have not watched the video yet, but just seeing your smile has cheered me up immensely.
You both really get along working together, great to see how much you LOVE
each other, in a always stressful environment as a garage is.
I'm thinking a new T Shirt is in order... "Emily's Automotive Day Care" "Bringing 'em up right since 2013 !"
amazingly awesome how good and patient you are with the kids...BRAVO
Aunty Emily is the Coolest Aunty Anywhere! Lol that was fun!
Nothing is quite like an old Ford truck. Got a driveway full of 'em. Great stuff. Safe travels on Power Tour.
Who would’ve thought she was a truck girl??? Great content ladies n gents, especially the lil helper!!!
Emily when the time is right, IF the time ever comes and y'all decide to, YOU WILL BE AN AWESOME MOM... But if kids aren't in YOUR future YOU ARE STILL AWESOME with kids and cars/trucks.. Luv y'all.
from the 50's those wheels are my favorite hands down !!!
OMG this episode made me cry the story about your dad. I mean wow what a great guy..
I was just a tad older than your young man when my dad first put a wrench in my hand. One of the best things he did for me.
My first truck was actually a 74 F-100.
This is quite possibly your best video ever, well done!
Love getting the little one involved :-) Keep up the good work!
Best episode so far, Teaching the littlens is what its all about...
Wow this is similar to my truck!
Love a Good Family Truck Story.. My GF. has a cool old family ford truck that has been in her fam forever.. I got to help her bring it back to life.. Great Feeling... Glad to see this Red Truck get a new trans.. Hope he has fun on Power Tour..
Really appreciate showing the kids working and learning. Did that with mine when they were young and now both my sons are better mechanics than I am and I've been wrenching for near 60 years. Although I still am better on the older vehicles (pre 1975)
Creating a gear head for life! Good job Emily!
Dude. I love the videos. great to see a lovely face, not just to look pretty, but actually know how to wrench and understand what she is doing.
Your interaction with the kids, and not only passing on knowledge but getting them involved is awesome.
Just found this series this morning. Then I see this episode. Teaching the lil ones the love of wrenching!
Can’t wait to binge watch the rest and dang I realllly need to get a scription for MT!
Kids, cars, and good people, cant beat it!
Good luck on the power tour! Great video 👍
Wooo! Been waiting for this one! What an amazing history to the truck. So cool!
I absolutely love this episode! Like many times before.... I find myself smiling watching your videos and I don't even realize it! Keep doing what you're doing! I hope your new show is only HALF this good as this episode was!
Thank you soooo much for this nice comment!!!! I absolutely LOVE hearing this feedback!
The TV show will be different in a handful of ways but it’s STILL US!!! The first season is always hard anyway- but we are SUPER PUMPED ABOUT IT!!
Love it when I see anyone keeping the "old" Iron rolling down the highway as Daily Drivers.... Nice job you guys... Good Luck with the new show,, and glad you'll keep doing FSG....
That is the best video I have ever watched.
Great episode! So cool that you are teaching the little one some skills. So wish someone would've taught me at that age. 👍🏻
Thanks for always making such fun, family oriented shows btw! You guys rawk! 😎🎸
That was a great video, had me laughing out loud! Great to see the youth of tomorrow turning wrenches and getting the love for working on the old stuff in their blood. I have a couple of old school rides, a 76 F100 4x4 with a 390 and a 74 Toyota Landcruiser with a 350 small block. Lots of Fun to fix them yourself.
i actually liked the original wheel combo but i dont hate the new 1s its still a cool looking truck
I was thinking the same thing. Some vintage Cragars would have looked great on that truck also.
Emily, your smile is contagious.👍👍😎
You guys are awesome people
Very nice episode. Love seeing little Jack helping too.
Love the truck! My favorite Ford body style. I have a 78 also.
That 53-56 Ford truck in the background looks sweet.
thats awesome my 79 f350 dully is called jenny, great to see the little man get to wrench on his daddy's truck, enjoy all your guys vids :)
Emily good job teaching the young ones! We need to make sure they can fix things!
I love how you all laugh love life love your videos
You said "Lord Jesus it's a fire" LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great how to for older trucks. I'm rebuilding a 1977 Thunderbird because I love these cars and they are out of the box cars. Plus, it is a reskinned Torino, so it is a cross between luxury and sports car.
Note to self, take engine and trans out together for t5 swap!
A helpful tip: when removing or installing the bell housing bolts use a 3 to 4 foot 3/8 drive extension with a swivel socket and stand by the tail shaft to use. If used with air impact all bolt will be out in 5 minutes or less. Thanks for the show.
It’s always the story behind the car or truck that endears us to them, and this story couldn’t be much cooler. ❤️ Also, watching Jax wrench on Jennay made it get “very dusty in here” if you know what I mean. 😥 It just doesn’t get any better than watching your kid get excited while wrenching on a car with you. GREAT episode guys! 👍🏻
Great video. Love the 78/79 fords. Great job guys. Wasn't sure about 20s on it but they look good on her . I had never seen anyone take the transmission out of one of them without pulling the exhaust and the suspension crossmember before . A big block bellhousing won't fit out through there without taking them out .
I was 16 around 2003 as well so that's awesome I can relate to wrenching ony dad's good ole 1969 Ford F-100 with a 3_onthe tree and 360 w I think a 4bbl carb! 😎😊
Always thought that frame support under the trans was dumb, along with the studs in the torque converter. Gm, once the converter bolts are out, converter is completely free of the faceplate. And after you remove the trans cross member, you have all the room in the world. If you're running the factory cross pipe, it has to come out or at least loosen it. And going back in, all you have to worry about are the two dowel pins on either side, rather than the converter studs on ford. And about every ford I've seen, the exhaust has caused clearance issues.
yeah Mopar is the same way it has bolts through the fly wheel into the converter once they are out the converter is free from the fly wheel I guess that's Ford for ya making things difficult LOL!
And that guy's son is awesome and full of energy I'm glad you can control it to take some parts off
Great truck history and your lovin on it since sixteen.
It's amazing how a new set of wheels and tyres can make a vehicle, that if we are honest, is a bit beaten up, look so bloom'n awesome.
Next time I get a beater, I'm definitely going to do the new wheels and tyres thing.
Great video guys and girls...
Thumbs UP...
cheers.
Great stuff!
Awesome, another homerun guy's! 🤘🏽
Emily is the “Sparkle Muffin” on this show. Good going girl.
1973-79 is my all time fav Fords
Cool truck. So many C10s out there that the older fords really stand out. Those wheels look much better! The others were dated a bit. A little altitude adjustment (lower) and it will look mean! I've seen those trucks forever growing up and don't recall one that didn't have a dent in the front bumper like that.
Danny Compton. nope, it has to clear curbs..
Bummer....I still need mine to clear stuff as well, but its much newer and a stupid high tailgate. I just want to drop the rear to level it so I can get my dirt bikes in and out easier.
My daughter is always in the garage with me she loves working on the gto or the nova
Great episode! You guys are awesome!
This is one of the best video's I have seen and I'm lovin Emily I just did the same setup in my 95 F150 Flareside with the 302 and the built early AOD trans but also made the truck in to a 4x4
The little guy and your niece need their own youtube show about helping in the garage or maybe stuff kids can do to maintain their bikes etc. Torque Tykes or something! Too cute!
cool teaching the future hotrodder much better burning rubber than drugs
LOVE you guy's greatest family channel... heaps of love from OZ :).
What a great back story! Keep up the awesome work!
Good to see my man Jax! Miss him from the Power Tour but I have my ROCK he gave me!
Kevin Singleton We miss ya buddy, we’re having dinner with my family tonight and we were telling Power Tour stories and the Sunbird burnout was included!!!!
Ha! Tell him his Sunbird buddy said Hi! :-D
Good vid. Nice to see Jackson having a go.😉💪👍👍
I had a 76 just like that one. had a 302 with a 3 speed on the column. dang I miss that truck
Nice wheel and tire choice. You guys sure say dude a lot down in Texas. LOL
James, that old enamel will buff out amazingly well if you use some finess and a shiny finish will transform that old Ford.
Jack is a lucky little boy!
You are truly a unicorn!
Wrenching on the family's truck at a young age.
Meet your future husband during.
Become a supermodel.
Start your own tv show.
Amazing!
Torsee Thanks for the kind words!!
Torsee
Definitely Super..
Torsee relax loser
Damn, she has the prettiest smile!
I've got the same Aod in my 89 LTD, does james know how to do the AOD Shuffle? If not tell him to look it up it really utilizes all the low gears in the aod!! keep up the great work!!!
Great video Emily thanks for sharing have a wonderful day
It was Very Honorable of your Father to help that young lady out the way he did =)
Yes it should be that hard. I have the same issues with my c6 trans on my 73 f100
Ps I don’t care for the new wheels....
Flying Sparks Garage
Adorable little boy!
Great video but I cringe at some of the "wrenching". Here's some tips of what I do whenever I do any work on cars... Use impact tools on everything you can get to with impact tools. If you can't get to it with impact tools use a ratchet and socket. I f you can't get to it with a socket use the box end side of the wrench. If you can't get to it with the box end then, and only then use the open end of the wrench. The key to using impact tools is swivel impact sockets and the proper extensions. I used to pull transmissions out of trucks like that in 15 minutes.
Awesome pickup Guys 👍👍Great show too. Cheers.
Great episode, cool truck! And yeah, gotta teach the young one's. Good job!
Love this episode!! I have a 1977 F250 (my first vehicle) that has a 400 with a C6 in it and I would love to have overdrive! It runs about 3000 rpm at 75
Holy crap, I felt every second of your guys pain pulling that old transmission out.
Great days to you all on the tour !
#JamesRocks! Pickles and yogurt, is there something you're not telling us? lol
Wow that's cool your teaching the little ones how to be gearheads always better than them being around drugs cool video
Got an AOD on my junky v8 supra. They aren't bad, I just hate how you have to do an odd shift to get second gear right after 1st.
Nice Ford. Really like the rim's. Good match. Keep on Keeping on. 🙏God Bless🙏.
Have to count how many times Em says Flange.
Kid needs a project of his own, a go cart or something.
Awesome kid 😎
Nice video awesome truck! I love you two videos. That truck is awesome too
I tape an old spray can top around the tailshaft and drain the pan ,much cleaner.
So awesome! Love this channel.
Glad your back!
Pickles and yogurt... Is there something you're not telling us, Emily? 😎
I can smell the burnt rubber from here. LOL!
You guys are awesome keep up the good work
I followed Jenny out of Hoover I think. It is sad how the days just run together but the cars stand out.
Take out the front crossmember it’s a must
With a good polish that paint would probably look pretty good. I found that using a orbital polisher with liquid wax works best on old faded paint.
RCDS I agree. Something about old oxidized single stage paint that buffs so easily and looks great afterwards especially red. Buff that truck!
Well done, what a crew.. 😊
