[@johnoldonekanole602]

You are definitely not short on persistence .A lesser man would have given up. Thanks for sharing your adventure . I really enjoy watching you figure thinks out . Dont beat yourself up , you figured it out.

[@samuel112313]

The fact that you admitted to your mistake speaks a lot about your character. You are absolutely right that most channels would not have even mentioned that! We all appreciate your honesty and it totally made for a good laugh!

[@MustangGuy6501]

I 100% respect the fact that you took that one, as a chevy guy working on a ford and not blaming it on the old excuse (well its a ford after all) i love those old Fords hopefully I'll find one for my collection one day lol

It takes a strong man to admit a mistake and I think it is awesome how hard you laugh at yourself. Quality entertainment and knowledge.

[@totolico]

Congratulations on getting that engine started, but especially for your honesty. Greetings from México.

[@kenbiemac337]

The value still left in abandoned vehicles is awesome. Just need the motivation and knowledge to bring them back to life. Great video!

[@rickmccown6956]

And lots of money. Lol

[@tonypaul2987]

You are a great mechanic sir. Keep up the good rework you do. I believe you can get anything back to running. Lol

[@normansylvester8098]

Truly, truly inspiring!! I am so inspired by you that i am going to find an old truck in the woods and bring my son with me for a great memory of hard work, and accomplishment with dad.

Oh What a Treat, Life is Good when I can Spend Some Time with Good Folks Like Yourself. Appreciate You Having us Along, keep it safe out there Sir

[@stevenlatham4397]

Man, I enjoy your channel so much. It’s easily one of the most honest automotive channels on KZbin. Just don’t change when you get to a million subscribers.

[@dpulliam86]

This guy is the my most fun to watch. I binge watch his videos every few months. I have even got a few of my family members watching him and they even text me as soon as a new video is up! Love it!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate that! 👍

[@richardbates2367]

Yep I am constantly watching the older videos to the newer ones whether I have seen them or not I like watching his revival and builds...

[@paulbales3513]

Thank you for sharing. You certainly didn't have to show the mistake but mad respect for showing it! I was cringing when you put water on a gasoline fire. Glad you got it out! Well done Sir! Mad respect!

[@richarddavis3007]

I have a 74 f100 390fe 4x4 with a 4 speed granny low I have to do can't wait to get to it now

[@greghunter426]

About 27 years ago I completely rebuilt a 360 for a old truck, and I mean a complete rebuild.. I got it all put in and spent 2 weeks trying to get it started. I bet I restabed the distributor 30 times. Always had fire on #1 cylinder perfect compression all the way around.. after 2 weeks of work And it never starting , I was pulling dizzy for the 31st time and looked inside of the dizzy cap. And it only had 1 terminal inside on the #1 wire...I put old cap back on and had it running in 2 minutes .. now this was when tou could buy tuneup parts at Wal-Mart.... so don't feel bad .. we have all had bad days... love the videos keep it up

[@donnal4304]

Where have you been?We are so so super glad to see you back at work!!!!!Thank you!!!!!🤓

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I post a video every friday. Make sure you have notifications turned on.

[@testy518]

You've never disappointed me yet, Chad. The only person that never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything!!

[@richardbates2367]

You can't fail if you never try, but you cannot succeed or learn anything from the experience either... sink or swim take a shot you never know...

[@vinces8974]

Whenever you say, you all are not gonna believe me unless I show you, I know I am about to look at something very interesting lol ,great video

[@stuartphillips430]

Awsome chad.only gear heads who get out and work on all sorts of stuff make mistakes,its part of being human.wear it with pride,coz I still learn from you every week .you're the real deal.cheers.

[@normanmeador7956]

Like the truck,Ranger was a trim level between the base model,Custom,and Ranger XLT.very cool it has overdrive.great channel,sir.

We from the Volunteer State know all to well about that baking in the sun until the middle of October. Then you get 4 or 5 night where it will drops down below freezing. And yep! You can bake in the day and freeze at night.🤣😉💯

[@shakymctwitch8615]

Literally my new favorite automotive channel. There is a lot to be said about revivals but my dude, you just take the cake. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy these. Thanks for that. I also love seeing that subscription base grow and grow.

[@thomascornelius510]

You are not gonna believe this. But in 19.83 I bought that same identical truck in Fayetteville Arkansas. It was a great truck. I drove it all over Arkansas. And then I drove it 16 hundred and 50 miles back to Westfield Massachusetts. I fixed it up nice inside and out. I drove it for 6 years in Massachusetts. Gave it to my little brother. He drove it for a long time to. Gas was cheap back then. I loved that truck. God bless. Thanks for sharing.

[@cigaroking]

Great revival on the 360. I had a 1968 f250 with the same motor and it ran strong for years. Thanks for the content

[@waynedavis7245]

Great video. I usually put Seafoam in the oil , it works wonders on the lifters and rings. You might want to give it try . I usually give it 2 or 3 heat cycles.

[@testy518]

Everybody makes mistakes but not everybody is willing to admit their mistake. I applaud you for admitting yours, I had a pretty high opinion of you to begin with because of your down to earth manner but this bumped your approval score up at least 50 points. Not only was it a courageous thing to do, it makes me feel a little better about all the dumb mistakes I make. Thank you , Chad!!

[@k-dawg3893]

Dumas! The name is fitting for sure😅. Quite a surprise when she caught fire. Looking forward to more on this one. Nice work This n That!

[@byrdsdoityourselfgarage7330]

That was a hard fought battle! I loved every minute of it🤙

[@bryanyoung2963]

Good job and great video! But I think I would have taken my chances with the old Chevrolet.They don't seem to be as hard to get along with. And after watching you go to town on lockjaw. I don't think that one would have been any trouble.

[@aftershock2222]

All of the American auto companies used the Borg Warner overdrive . Ford was the last company to use them. They stopped in the early to mid 70’s. I have one in my ‘58 Chevy, and it’s a joy to drive. I recently found your channel, and I enjoy it. Thanks.

[@genedunn9283]

What a great video & channel! Most people wouldn’t admit their mistakes. The fact that you did is what makes us realize that you are just like us…human! We all make mistakes, and this just shows how we can all learn from them. Thank you! Also, like you, I had no idea that Ford offered a cable-operated overdrive on the 3 speed transmission. Could it be an aftermarket item or do you think it’s OEM?

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Overdrives on manuals were actually pretty common many years ago from what I've read.

[@war7334]

Brother you are no Dumas.Your dad raised an honest man with no quit in him.I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@tommalone4310]

Really enjoy the content! Learned to drive in my Dad’s 1971 F-100, 3 on the tree. Can’t wait for video #2 on this truck!

[@liammcgregor7305]

I'm pretty sure Ranger was the top of the line trim for those years.

[@gregoryblair9810]

Often Ranger was the hauling package for campers, etc.

[@stevensharp6622]

I got a 68 F250 with a FE 360.It is a Ranger,which does have that trim package.My neighbor's got a '68 F250 Camper Special/FE 390

[@richardbates2367]

Usually the ranger and the highest ranger XLT are the top two trim levels for the 69-71 anyway and usually the ranger trim and occasionally the sport custom is equipped with the camper special options and badging and usually the 390 upgrade.

[@daveculp308]

Amazing video.. you never get mad you never throw tools you never cuss and I really like that.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Oh I get plenty mad sometimes, there's just no need in showing that.

[@ThunderdomeDoc]

That fire had me stressing for a minute. I respect your acknowledgment of the mistake, we’ve all been there and it made the channel even more relatable :)

[@Carrilleptbreak]

Never give up big Guy, we love the honesty as an average Joe learning about cars and how they start... or don't sometimes.

[@dalehale1635]

We all make mistakes, i once went through 3 batteries in one day as they kept sliding and melting on the header...bungi cords have a place under the hood, but to share errors is human and it says a lot about your character sir. Love your whimsical way and the fact that you can laugh with and at yourself, keep the fun content coming!

[@StuffBudDuz]

I think you should call this truck, "Groundhog Day." ;-) Happy to have found your channel.

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

Man I was super excited when i checked my notification icon and saw you posted a video!!! I sure enjoy wrenching with you in the yard!! I'm only 12 minutes in right now, I'm sure I'll add this commZnt, but I'll tell you this to start.. Any time I get my hands on an old sitting motor like that FE you're messing with here, I always pull the valve covers, no matter what the hassle, because I would rather make sure I lubricate and add a nice amount of oil to all the springs and rocker arms and all that, just to do it. I know it'll oil itself but I feel SO much better, no matter how long it's been sitting, it NEEDS fresh oil up on top. Plus I tap all the valve springs anyway just be sure I don't bend a valve. A stitch in time saves nine, and oiling and checking my valves is way WAY less of a pain in the behind than to have to pull a head for a bent valve. Love your videos so much!! I can't wait to see 36.8k subscribers become 386.8k subs!!! GET TRENDING!!! Edit: Around 54:00, when you explain. I am going to tell you right now, I swear to the Lord in Heaven, as you were fiddlin' with that thing and I KNEW you were getting frustrated.. I was telling myself and yelling at you, I know you do Chevys, I KNOW you don't mess with a lot of Fords.. man, OH man, I'm not going to give anything up, but you know EXACTLY what I was screaming at the screen for 15 minutes!!!!! Glad you figured it out, I haven't gotten past your little talk with us yet, but I'm sure of the outcome! Thank you for telling us the way it actually is (in KZbin land everyone likes to be the star ALL the time, and I'm human just like the rest of us) : )

[@geekhillbilly2636]

The Ranger in the 70s F 100 trucks were pretty much the top of the line truck for the time. Dad bought a 1976 F100 Ranger New with the 302 BOSS engine. He later bought a 1978 Ford and i wound up with it. I put Thrush Super Sidekick sidepipes on it and literally drove the wheels off of it. Drove it for 21 years

[@rm25088]

i always look forward to your videos. Some of the best mechanic videos on youtube in my opinion.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate that!

Cool revival! Some of them vehicles are marginally worth fixing ….but I’ve revived a bunch myself that were destined for the bone yard! I do have a really nice 1970 low mileage 360 engine and trans from a F150….hated to see it scrapped so I snagged it up….I don’t run across many truck where I live that will take an FE motor……most of those truck where I live are rusted bad …..and I mean bad! Will be fun to see that truck drive out of the woods!

[@donaldblair1183]

Amazing how you stick with it. Most would have gave up long ago. Great vid.

[@markcole6475]

I usually jab the end of the oil pump drive in the bottom of the dizzy with some wheel bearing grease ….creates a suction so it won’t typically fall out….get some sticky grease also

[@braddokken9191]

Wow! You put a lot of time and work into getting that thing started! Good to know you can get the compression to come back around. I'll have to try that vinegar trick. Thanks for all the work you do on these videos. They are so fun to watch!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I believe the acetone and trans fluid did better.

You don't lie so thats why I still watch your videos and will keep watching them

[@rypkepaulusma]

Great video! And what patience this little engine has had, despite the abuse it had to endure. In my experience it's like one is getting into a relationship with such a motor, and can't let go of it. It's great that you also told us what was going on, because I'm sure 1 or 2 viewers immediately rushed to their cars and they are now running too 🙂Please keep entertaining us in no other way than you do now.

[@richardbates2367]

I'm sure this will generate comments lol but I have definitely timed a sbc as the Oldsmobile 307 V8 and the same thing with the Oldsmobile 307 V8 timed it as a sbc problem with owning both vehicles at the same time both have the same firing order but the sbc is clockwise and the Oldsmobile is counterclockwise

[@stevenmenary2862]

I have even done a Dumas some years back. Working on a 283 in a 1962 Impala with a blown head gasket you have to pull the distributor out but when reinstalling it I got it 180 out. Took a week to figure it out. Back then there was no internet.
