Alright, Monsters, you are in for a treat. In this video I bought a 1978 F150 that we didn't realize it was flooded. Witness the chaos and struggles the first few weeks of owning this truck brought.
I realize my truck has square headlights but it IS a 1978.

From 1973 to 1982 I worked at the Ford Motor factory in San Jose CA. In the "commercial" end of the plant we built the F1-2-3 pickup trucks 25 per hour 2 shifts 6 days. We shipped them everywhere. The F150 Explorers were gorgeous trucks & Jade green is the color here. We used to wonder where all of the trucks were going as we made them day after day after day. In the factory they were brand new pieces of art with their 6 cylinders, 302, 351, 360, 390 & 460 engines. 2 wheel drives, 4x4 in standard & automatic. It saddens me to see while this unit is a survivor that it ended up as it did. Speaking in behalf of the thousands of workers at the plant we took a lot of pride making those trucks. I really hope that you get this unit running & back to life again. Mook is really cool & wish her the best. PS my name is Gary. Cheers!
Kewl GARY!!! I FEEL THE VERY SAME AS YOU...I DID GLASS WORK FOR OVER 40 YEARS...VERY SELDOM WOULD YOU SEE WHAT YOU PUT YUH OUR HEART INTO AGAIN...EVEN JOBS THAT INCLUDED A BUILDING OR CUSTOM MIRRORS...WE NEVER SAW THOSE JOBS AGAIN....AFTER WORK...WE GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS...HOME WHATEVER...I SAW MAYBE 3 OR 4 AFTER IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE ...I KNOW YOUR HEART SIR...YOU ARE A CRAFTSMAN!!!
I own a '78 F-150 ,Camper Special with factory 351M/400.I have owned it for 16 yrs now.It also came with dual gas tanks.The engine was broke down at 100,00 mi. and rebuilt.It still doesn't have 10,000 mi .on it since the rebuild that was done 18 yrs ago.Thanks for your contribution to this classic body style my favorite
I have a 1978 f350 lariat it was a cab chassis truck that ended up with a flatbed it has a 351m with a granny 4 speed and a set of 4:10 gears in the back slow as a tractor but can pull a house down😂 but man is she a bute you my friend made good trucks back then not aluminum or non of that aluminum block twin turbo junk that ford takes pride in today don’t get me wrong the workers today still take a lot of pride in their work but man y’all made some awesome trucks
I have a '79 F100. Semi-restored to "rat rod" standards, so still usable!!
I bought my jade green 78 Ford Ranger with the Explorer package in 1980 when I graduated. It had a 302 with the standard 4 speed overdrive transmission. Unfortunately I was T-boned by a truck about 8 months later.
wish there were more Mooks in the world.
I second that
They broke the mold!
A keeper for sure.
No lie
There are more mooks in the world:

Did you Happen to be Standing on a corner in Winslow AZ. at the time?
Eagles no The
such a fine sight to see
With everything going on out there, we need more laughter and fun like this. Thanks
aviato287 x Bro chill, I don’t think enjoying a video means ignoring one’s problems.
I am surprised why allthe water inthe oil pan?
I just got a 78 F250! Here it is! czcams.com/video/Tg6wczEu7fc/video.html
@@aman4peace If you lower a truck deep enough into water, it will fill up the engine. Air will escape somewhere -- from vents, old seals, and out the dip stick.
Amen to that.
Mad RESPECT for Mook!!! Most young ladies these days would give you a totally different definition of what a dip stick is. It’s awesome to see a young lady take interest in automotive repair and restoration even to the point of climbing into the engine compartment to get her hands dirty! I am a huge fan of the 70’s era of Ford trucks! I’m a new subscriber! Thanks Y’all!!!
Respect because she’s female? Stfu it’s not 1972 boomer
@@Didnt_ask69 no, respect to her on taking up a hobby that is labour intensive and dirty. Most women wouldn't even go near a truck like that because it isn't a shiny Mercedes, let alone put their time and effort into trying to get it in working order. Working on cars is a task that is predominantly taken interest by men, I'm sorry if that is too offensive for your little heart to handle but it's true. To see more women getting into this kind of thing is awesome and that's exactly what the original comment is trying to say too, so stop trying to put a sexist spin on everything zoomer :)
classical you tube comment section
@@hebn. most men i know even wouldn't

i can be in the worst mood ever, come home and watch nook do her thing and bam instant smile. just radiates happyness. god bless you and your whole crew.
Same here... I always love da cute Mook's cheery smiles and innocent enjoyment of working on cars wif Kevin and of her life in general :D
Love your enthusiasm, it's infectious.
Loving seeing these old trucks coming back to life .
Modern cars are just too reliant on electronics aren't they .
I have an 06 VW Touareg V6 tdi .
I love my car but it's so complex .
. I'm in the uk that's why I haven't got a proper US truck .
Though if you would like to post me something with a big Cummings under the hood .
*sputters through carb* "Bless you!"
You've got one heck of a woman there.
I LIKE THE WAY THEY HAD FUN ....NO COMPLAINING JUST GETTING IT DONE.
Mike Burton The only way to go, ya gotta have fun regardless
3:13 That truck was holding it in all those years! The truck had to go and it definitely went! Lol
Mook's smile is infectious. Had me smiling the whole video just watching her getting into that engine bay and getting her hands dirty. So what's next? When you two have kids are you getting them flooded go-karts in order to start a family tradition?
I thought she was his daughter... damn
Rusty Nutz - I’m his girlfriend
by infectious you mean horse face right?
@@aa65064 same
Very rude marty
A young woman who speaks cars! My friend married a "car" girl and wound up very happy as a result! This was a fun video. Keep it up young lady!
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
@@lockjaw5161 he struck gold!
Love it when another woman is a motor head like me lol😆👍...
They don't make em like her very often....I should be so lucky. She probably goes fishing too.
They're humble, calm, naturally happy. Here in SoCal you wont find anything like this
LoL just found these channels and watching these videos for the first time. Great job. Love them. BTW I see we found out why there was "10 inches of oil" on the dipstick haha
50 degrees cold and raining..and windy....but Mook doesn't give a heck" THANK YOU FOR MOTIVATING ME!!! LOL its cold and wet here
What a gal! I love when young people get passionate about old stuff, what a beautiful truck, good luck!
Gotta love old vehicles, so much room in the engine compartment! Get up in there! I am teaching all 3 of my daughters about cars and trucks, having them help me(work on them with me). I want them to be knowledgeable, enough that they will be able to do minor maintenance and know if a mechanic is taking advantage of them.
I truly enjoy watching you all work on vehicles, especially Mook. I imagine my daughters ending up as silly as their old dad, and as smart and funny as Mook.
@@fredgarvin9262 not always true
@Austin... agree. love those old F150 High Boy that are restored.
No they aren't. I have a 05 Hyundai Elantra but older vehicles don't have computerized system or fuel injection or other systems that complicate a cars life span if not properly maintained. Older cars have less of that and more timing gears probability than timing belts or chains which don't last as long usually or have the same issues
"It's what the people want, Kevin!" Lmao
Also I really like the paint on that truck
I liked the "Tim the Toolman's" hi de ho neighbor ending with the eye's!
Great to see authenticity and American spirit still alive in Americans. Keep up the good work and attitude.
European here, I don't think that will change any time soon for the US or EU countries. Culture progresses, we all get more connected but identity is always there, you don't even have to look hard.
Now that was the best start up I have seen in years keep up the faith and confidence and you will continue to succeed so God bless you always Mel in Seattle
I love the GREEN ON GREEN Color combination with the stripe package....That was a sharp Truck when it was new.
I just got a 78 F250! Here it is! czcams.com/video/Tg6wczEu7fc/video.html
I had a 73 it had a 302 2 barrel automatic . 2 toned green pea green on top forest green on the side . I liked that truck . This brought back memories .
Thank you .
You guys are so awesome! Keep making videos. So glad Mook has a channel, too!
This is the type of content that I like to see - wholesome, enthusiastic, funny, and a genuine interest in all things automotive. Keep it up!
She is so cute!! How can you not love her spirit! Don’t ever grow up. It’s no fun. New subscriber.
❤️
Mook is a sweet kid. Cute as she can be and funny. Reminds me of my daughter a ton. My daughter doesn’t take too much anything seriously but at the end of the day she is a tremendous help.
"I found a dime!" Whatever you bought the truck for, it now cost 10 cents less 😂
Love the ladies with a sense of humor and not afraid to get there hands dirty.Nice work.Hate when they poop 💩 lol
You bought an aquarium shaped like a truck.
lol... great comment...
@Joseph Henderson no fish just crabs
Drownd. Glug Glug.
😂😂😂😂 Beltin observation
Not for nothing but Mook is one of the funniest chics I have ever seen.... SERIOUSLY !!! LOL !!
"Nonbelievers die first."
You all make the show
Mooks truck has the shitz....
I had a 78 and when you pop the hood you always have to give her a little tap on the top to get her to pop. The door replacement panels are crazy expensive to buy new so I went to all the local junk yards and bought all the unbroken ones I could find. I had sets of black, tan, red, green and blue. I also had a kick ass head liner with 4.5" round speakers in the cab corners. Those trucks with the split rear window are a leaking rust nightmare. All the split window trucks will start rusting the cab below the window. I replaced the holes in the floor with speed limit signs and other old street and then laid new carpet over the top. If you go with the 302 make sure you get the right fly wheel because some of them are different on the 302 depending on year and the wrong one will cause horrific shaking and vibrations.
Love how you guys have fun while working! Its very entertaining, keep finding them.
Mook, you need to upload more. You've got something special going on here with this channel. UPLOAD!! LET'S GO!!
That Eagles tune “ It’s a GIRL my lord in flat bed Ford!”
Opening sequence with Mook!
Ridin’ round to take a look at me!
You mean the song where he was thinking of Flathead Ford but he didn't know anything about cars so he said flatbed Ford. Yeah. But there is such a thing as FLATHEAD Ford.
@@hyzercreek You mean the song with the Flatbed Ford Truck, also known as a Stake Bed truck, you know the ones that the farm girls drive, as opposed to a regular pickup truck bed. What's those other lines from the song? Lighten up while you still can, take it easy. I know you like the really old cars, but I'm pretty sure the song is about a farm girl in a flatbed Ford, not a girl driving around in an old time flat head rat rod......If anyone knows a girl driving around in a flat head Ford, leave a message. I've talked to long now, Maybe Joe Walsh or Glenn Frey's estate can tell us just what that girl was driving.
@@hyzercreek how in the h*** do you know what he was thinking?
@@otherstuffbybob she was driving a flat bed ford ,slowing down to take a look a him!!........I get so irratated when people quote lyrics wrong too!!.......not riding around
I’m loving this video!! I’m wanting this exact truck for my first and getting some sneak peaks and actually going in depth of the engine is nice, also, mook is hilarious
Mook on the swing about the shirt on the website commercial is hilarious 🤣🤣 @26:10 @Junkyard Mook
Gotta love a girl that will get her hands dirty ! Mook RULES, you go girl !
She should be using gloves . And gasoline in the crankcase is a terrible idea.
Ah, those old days gathered around the engine fire...
The only thing needed are the ;missing eyebrows..... and marshmallows.
“Beautiful Crazy” describes Mook pretty well.
ive learned so much about carburetors and engines and vehicles in general from watching you two. keep u[p the great work!
I became a contractor in 86 when I got out of the service...I must have had 10 of these 78, 77's...All old trucks from that era have their little bugaboos...But, the F150 with 300 - 4.9 straight 6 was a beast motor...
Rob I have a 96 4.9 and it is sitting a little over 500k and I see no reason why it won't make the million club
@@gregbartle5956 :)...I hope you get 2 million miles! ...:)...I'm terrible with maintenance, I drive them till the wheels fall off...That's amazing to get that many miles out of your motor!...Has your Trans lasted too?
@@godbluffvdgg yes original e40d I have replaced other things out of want not need though everything that touches the serpentine belt. Put in an oversized radiator for pulling and alternator to put in electric fans. Needs new psom because it's stuck in limp mode
@@gregbartle5956 :)...Like finding a great wife...:)...
Mooks is the best american girlie. She loves the old american cars, nows how to repair them, and takes fun in repairing them herself. She also is a great personality in every way and looks awesome too. Such a girlie makes my Day a lot nicer.
Greetings from Henry from Holland
Well, she may be a rare girle for some do not go into this kind of hobby
She has a marvelous personality
I like this stuff on CZcams because i love seeing old vheicle works after so many yrs
That they had not runned my ex father in law loved working these. He wud
Run old chevys andrunning them he was a junk yard mechanic
Love peace and harmony from Quebec province Canada that was from Maine
He called it new 😆 how cute 😏
Could you imagine having a daughter like this 🤗 I would be so proud 🥳 a Car guys dream 😎
My first vehicle 21 years ago was a 1977 Ford Explorer custom. Thank you so much for taking me down memory lane!!!
That's great to see women get into working on vehicles. Also have a passion for older classics like the 70s Fords. Always loved the old Fords.
Good job bringing a flooded motor back to life. Getting the truck up and moving down the street was a amazing event.
We need more funny people in this world like Mook! Funny people rule! 👊🏽
Love it when Mook and Digs knuckle things out
The Mook outro is 100% approved!
Get those brakes done and git on the road girl!
when the trucks a rocking and the pan's a sloshing, don't come knocking.
Mook is awesome she cracks me up everytime it would be a lot of fun to hangout with them both! 😅
Always love the dynamic between the two of you. Just as fun to watch as the actual work aka. messing around until you stumble over the cause of the problem. Also, that outro was hilarious xD
A guy can see that you’re wearing a vice grip garage capalator. Well ill be dipped!!
Hey if this is who I think you should check out my 69 elcamino barn find supposedly outta montana. It has the minimal of rust ive seen b4 in my price range.
@@jrsgarage7623 Just another guy who watches VGG? Derek's SN is just ViceGripGarage. A lotta guys imitate him.
Right I noticed that tooo well I’ll be dipped a feller is happy that Derek and vgg vice grip garage....is being represented by these fine folks!!!
Love my capalater and well I’ll be dipped if a feller isn’t addicted too VGG show and the content and merch!!!! Awesome awesome
They should have done the right thing and just left the water in the system. It would start some time, just bring a bigger accumulator.
I don't know...
I found myself falling in love with this truck, despite all it had been through it still wanted to live. I've wanted one of these trucks for a while now and now I want one even more. Please more content with this truck.
They are out there and for very reasonable money,my buddy has a 96 Eddie Bauer edition,that thing wont die, just keeps going,lol
Love your hats. Son and i are about to pick up an 82 f150 ranger xlt 4x4. Has sat for 15yrs, but was started for the first 5-7 that it was parked.
I loved this video . That is one of my favorite trucks. I'm not a mechanic but I am very interested in learning . Thank you Mook, you're the best and your buddy with you .
A few years ago, I bought a 73' F-100 that i fell in love with at first sight. She quickly turned into way more work than I could have anticipated...so to the back burner that project went. Y'all have given me the inspiration i need to get back on it. Thanks.
I love this!!! the excitement the step by step going thru the truck got me excited to go out back and get my 78 k5 blazer running!!!
30:55
-What was that!
*a rust cloud
- do it again!
Had me cracken up🤣🤣🤣
Mook just makes my day when I'm feeling down.
I do dig some Miss Mook. Kinda reminds me of the Mackenzie Phillips character from American Graffiti, but just a touch more surly 😁
She's a lot prettier than Mackenzie Phillips.
Mckenzie philips, yes 👍 Something was tickling my brain. I knew she looks familiar
That's who she reminds me of too! Mook is a really sweet girl.

Carol,two point oh. And not a grungy little twerp anymore,lol!I think Milner would approve!
I'm not sure how this ended on my list of CZcams recommendations, but I am glad that it did! Very cool. Well done, Junkyard Mook!
Saw it after a Scotty Kilmer video
@@TheSleepingonit Me too!
Same here
I saw it after Vice Grip Garage...
Very cool 😎 truck! Fun to watch and learn from people that don’t take it to seriously and are enjoying the experience. Every time I work on my vehicles it usually needs to be fixed that day and the stress makes it no fun , this looks fun !
Awesome to see how far it came. Right on Mook!!
She's wearing a Vice Grip Garage hat! I love that channel! I'm now subscribed to junkyard Mook, notifications on!
Oh well duhhhh!! THAT'S why it came up in my feed after watching Derek lol!
I got a 351M in my 1980 bronco, it pures very nice. Took all the smog items off and replaced the stock 2150 carb, and it runs at highway speed .
Start watching JunkYard Digs couple days ago.Saw Mook.she look like, someone i saw before on a video .wasn't sure which video ,it was.since its been over a year,since i saw the video .check out her list of videos ,tonight. then i saw the green Ford F150 video,in her list .I realize.thats where,i saw her .Glad ,she making more videos of fords and her channel is growing .Keep up the great work ,Mook .
A excellent & enjoyable adventures of MOOK & Kevin !
These old engines are rock solid. You can't kill them!
Even being full of water, I wasn't concerned.
I’m over 70yrs and have been driving Ford pickups all my life. How to hang in to the finish. Really enjoyed your tenacity when many would’ve caved after the waterfall.🇨🇦
I have no idea why I’m so fascinated by your videos. I can’t work on vehicles. You explain things very well. I learn things from you. ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely loved this video!!! All the way from South Africa!!!! Gave me some inspiration to take on a rebuild!!!
Thanx guys!!!!
Need to check the trans and rear end fluid.
Wow...ur smart🤓
@Ranaldo Bobsled Just make sure there's no oil in the water!
@Ranaldo Bobsled
Water cooled everything
checked it off camera?
@@jacobg5122 LTT?
That was a fun repair. I love the 70's machines because we can actually work on them. It's even my favorite color. Sweet!!!
You are so right give me an old school truck anyday. I own 6 of those 70s Fords. You can climb under the hood and work on them.
I prefer carburetor powered v8 motor like a Ford y block 292 in a 58 ford f100
Mook i think its very cool seeing a young lady like you working on trucks and i really enjoyed the video your buddy ben Brown frome Cincinnati Ohio
I love the Ford Green Ranger F150. To see two in the same yard is just amazing to me. GREEN IS MY FAVORITE COLOR. That truck was so popular in its day and now they are virtually non existing. I love the matching Green Interior. If you cherry that one back to factory fresh you could name your price,better yet travel the car/truck shows and gather some trophies. And enjoy it for years to come...take it camping and fishing. Keep it alive and out of the scrap yards. Thanks for sharing....happy safe new year 2021 from Shady Hills, Florida. USA.
Awesome, really enjoyed watching other folks work on the truck, I’ve worked on all my vehicles; Enjoyed the Video greatly. Oh, and by the way, much respect for the young lady knowing and learning more about mechanics.
"It's what the people want" You are a riot, Mook.
Well you just got another sub , so nice to see anybody let alone a young lady actually do something to a vehicle besides just turn the key or in the case of the newer cars push a button , it's so crazy how many people have a hard time figuring out how to even put gas in anymore... thanks for a great video.
Glad the truck is running again. Good job!!
I love it a woman who isn't afraid to wrench on a truck
I swear those trucks came off the assembly line with exhaust manifold leaks.
This really is a small world. I love seeing other channel owners commenting on other channel's videos. Been subbed to your channel for a while, Wes. I've been trying to talk my brother out of trying to find a non running Polaris 4 wheeler thanks to your most recent video, lol.
ROFLMAO 🤣
Collab
@@Shane-Singleton Everyone needs a dead Polaris to work on!
@Tsunauticus III I'm everywhere...
Man that's a beautiful truck mook, hopefully you get it all back up and going, that is a show piece
Great video I luv it when people take to the older truck. I got a 84 C10 also had a78 Ford way better than new truck
Hey Mook, thanks for saving and bringing that F150 back to life. We all owe you one.
The timings off, we don't have a couple of cylinders, and she's been flooded and is pooping all over the floor..Mook 'so your telling me there's a chance she'll be fine.'
It sounds like it's to far advanced
@@6996brandylm.p p
Gotta love that attitude
@Equillizer Armtwister I think he was kidding. Like when in "Dumb & Dumber", Jim Carrey says, "So you're telling me there's a chance."
Wow, that truck sharted pretty good there.
I love these old simple F150s and that color combo is funky. Congrats on the car.
Mook's a barrel of laugh's. Looking forward to seeing what you all do with this truck.
She is such a goofball ❤️
But in an a extremely cute way.
She is the reason I watch your videos.
Keep being yourself.
I believe the girl loves fixing all cars as I also do. Good luck to her and you! Wish you the best. Will continue to watch the videos as long as I have some time to do so. God bless you guys!!!
Very refreshing and quality channel both people are very funny together, refreshing to see this kind of content
That person lied about it in a flood, she is so cool it's hard to find a girl like Mook, so compassionate about auto's
she is damn cute
Passionate not compassionate silly!
Girls like her are hard to find.
She’s absolutely wonderful and he’s so amazing
@@stevenholton438 Compressionate.
Youthful optimism! Brings back the good ol' days when every rusty old hulk had potential.
I hope you flushed the power steering, rear axle and trans/converter. That engine's a keeper, work on the rest of the driveline and you're all set. Grease everything up, oil the hinges, latches...Nice solid F-150 there! Nice work on the brakes, and try to find a junkyard-core carburetor for her? Drop the pan, clean the oil pickup screen.
Best of luck with your truck, Mook!
I absolutely love this truck it’s everything I’m looking for !!
Got my 85 S10 in this same condition. Great find, still need to watch part 2 and 3, lol.
Sweet ride...and a great couple. Hope they both last a lifetime
And cool truck too 😆
That was a lot of fun to watch!
Owning one of these myself, it was kind of heart breaking seeing the condition it's in, but awesome to see it moving under it's own power again!
Mine also has the 351m with a c6 automatic, all original, still going strong.
Keep up the cool content!!
Very close to my first truck. Cool video guys keep rocking!
I’ve got a 79 f150 custom 4x4 and I had to do the same thing because of flooding. I drained 6 gallons of water out before any oil came out. I do have it running and drivable but there’s so much I still need to do to make it look and feel good to me. - a 19 year old South Carolinian!
