1976 Ford Courier. Pass or Buy? Junkyard Find.

[@MACH100Garage]

Did every small blue truck in the world get transported to Oklahoma? Its like you put a beacon in the sky and they just show up.

[@jammie129]

No i got a factory dark blue s10 but its yellow now lol

Right??? I mean how many can be left let alone in that color blue and they're all in Pott county!!!!

Thank you to the junkyard for letting Puddin revive some treasures.

[@kerrypierre9494]

Agree 💯, Puddin just has a great easy-going approach to his vids👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Awesome! You should grab the interior out of that silver Courier. It'd look good in one of your other Couriers.

[@derekwalters6132]

I thought the exact same thing, that interior was looking mint, I’d grab it all, seats, door cards, headliner, dashboard, and whatever else little odds and ends I could find in it.

[@AE-lk3uc]

I would have grabbed that whole truck and not the other one myself.

[@derekwalters6132]

@@AE-lk3uc Puddin said he wanted a first Gen of the Courier but I agree with you that other one should’ve been part of a two fer and stashed out at the new place.

[@markgriffin4888]

I'm in agreement with you all, but he does need a motor, so we don't know if he has already purchased it as a after thought ???

[@tjakr3869]

You and Mortske tirelessly searching for cars. Takes a lot of effort to find as many vehicles as you all do for sure.

[@Robrt32]

There is junk everywhere so I don’t have a clue what your talking about. Now both have figured out how to take junk and make bank on it. I give them props for that.

[@murrijuana2842]

No it doesn't.

[@jwarfield78]

Thought you would've purchased the silver one as well. She was clean. Esp with that red interior. You should go back and purchase that one too.

Good ol Puddin had to walk RIGHT past that 60's Galaxy next to that Mazda. Only to go see that first gen courrier. 😆

[@piratesinparadise5]

Man that's one thing I miss about Oklahoma. There are thousands of Salvage yards across the state. I moved to S.W. Florida 17 years ago and haven't seen a proper Salvage yard since. Keep at it Puddin. Your channels are growing for a reason or more.

[@TheREALOC1972]

There are PLENTY of them in Central Florida. I live in Titusville and there are about a dozen of them in between Here and Tampa.

[@j.sargent9172]

There has to be a bunch of them! You guys are allowed to drive shit on the road until it breaks in half

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@j.sargent9172 IKR? 99.999999% of the people here in Florida can't drive worth a fuck anyway why not drive a p.o.s. I'm presently in the middle of 2 builds. a couple months ago I bought a 61 Falcon with a strait 6 and auto trans in it, I've yanked out the engine and trans and i'm putting a 302 and auto trans in it and I'm putting the 200 strait 6 in a 34 Ford Sedan that I'm going to build into a traditional high boy hot rod which will be painted with flat dark red tractor paint, just like they would have done back in the 60's.

[@eml5086]

Thanks, Puddin! Appreciate the extra time and effort it takes to do these.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

I went to my local jy today and scored some factory Jeep aluminum 15x7 rims for my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. And the guy threw in the 4 Jeep center caps for free. Back in 1979 I had a 1978 Ford Courier Long bed that had that same red interior but mine was red on the outside also. Had a lot of fun in that little truck wish I could find another one. And yes that 2.3 badge on the grill comes off pretty easy. I took mine off when I painted the grill black. Puddin" just go ahead and buy the 2 gen. Courier you know that sooner or later you are gonna need some parts off it.

[@the_KID_b]

This gray one is a beauty

Puddin is going to single-handedly drive up the cost of every junkyard mini truck in the country!

I like that white/silver courier.

[@stumpy2816]

Man you hit the jack pot there Puddin 👍👍

[@bradman4]

Hello to Pud and family, someone asked me not so long ago what I thought a good bloke would be. It's a fair question especially since I don't really like too many people these days. Well I reckon from now on I'll tell them all to go have a good look at Puddins. I really appreciate the time you put into it and mostly I do respect the commitment it takes. I see people who have a shop and a job and shoot off a video or two about something their getting paid to do anyway. There's a massive difference in someone that sees an opportunity in something that could be done and quits a paid job and sets out to achieve a thing that he can only see in his imagination. So yeah I reckon you're a good bloke Pud and of course your good wife too. To think I once thought about hiding your shows from my grandchildren because they saw you Puddin dancing and made me do it too. It wasn't long before their mother, my daughter, asked who this puddin character was and what was I allowing her children to watch. Well I reminded her that the whole bloody lot of them including her were my children and if she thought that any harm was coming to them then she could always go sland outside when they visited old granddaddy. I went and explained to the children how dumb people get between the ages of children and older people like me. We thought of a plan and me and the little ones went back inside and did the puddin dance for ages until she agreed to watch one of your shows. Sorry this is so long, I don't comment hardly at all so this will make up for it. Good ending though, she sat through a show,still didn't get it, straighty 180, and the only alternative that kids and me came up with was locking her in the shed when they visited,that was the kids idea I wanted to tell her to go home to Doug her husband and leave the kids upbringing to me. Apparently as soon they got home they shared this with their father and after a very brief conversation with wife him and children, this conversation must have gone further into the family, turned up at my place, with two cousins as well. He's a great husband and father, my daughter was blessed with him. I had to send him home he was a little sad to go but the little fellows and me agreed that he didn't fit the age group. The cousins, teenagers got bored in a day and left. I was lucky that it was holidays too as the grandchildren range from 5 I think to around 10. I am getting somewhere with this, kids are so smart and lovely. They especially love the shows with Hotrod in them. Now the only downside if you can call it one is each time I visit their house my daughter also wants me to puddin dance, I do love them all. So you see Mr Puddin even though you and your family are way over the other side of the world what you and yours do can still touch the hearts of me and mine I suppose that makes it more than a utube channel. When I watch with the kids it's Puddins family's show and that's brave to me. That's why I say you're a good bloke Puddin and I send you and yours all my best wishes. P.S Sorry but I intend to visit your country for a road trip and I'll definitely want to see Potcounty, hope I spelt it correctly, and I'm planning to incorporate some of the children, I'm not sure how I'll get around say one or two obstacles but if you should ever see a bunch of Australians doing the puddin dance well it may be us. See you mate. I do like the second show, my daughter says it would be great to have all that time, still doesn't get it mate it's what you do with that time.

[@sharpie9712]

I would snag that red interior. That thing was sweet.

Need to grab that silver one for the drive train and interior. Keep up the good videos

[@sohaibtoumi9145]

very kind junkyard

[@braxtonnelson7422]

Wow... this really takes me back! My Dad had a 1972 Courier, white with blue interior, and I took my driver's test in it when I turned 16. He kept it for years, finally getting rid of it when it got too rusty to get an inspection sticker. Then, a couple of years later my best friend bought another first gen Courier... this one with the automatic transmission. It was that same bright orange, and was truly gutless with the automatic, but it looked good! Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with this one... love the channels! You have a fan for life!

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

[@austinshepard1299]

That’s a cool little find including all the parts

[@garysprandel1817]

Had to go get some parts for the ol Millennium Focus about 15 years ago and we got a bone yard in the area where the EPA hit them on soil contamination after decades of operation so they moved all the stock, removed the contaminated soil ,rigged a collection system, encapsulated the base soil and once leveled up again paved the entire site. One of the cleanest junkyards I've ever been to.

[@Rebel9668]

We had one of those, LOL! I borrowed it from my Pappy one day for a drive and popped over a hill with a T in the road and a stop sign as soon as I came over the hill. I'm 6'8" and in trying to hit the brake so quick my leg was caught under the steering wheel and I couldn't get my foot over to the brake fast enough. Went through the T, through a barbed wire fence and into the cornfield on the other side of the road. It didn't do much damage to the truck and Pappy drove it for years afterwards until he tried to pull a VW bug with it and scored one of the pistons. Funny thing is, now I drive a '98 regular cab Ranger xlt that has 149,003 miles on it. There's slightly more room than the Courier, but not much. It does have a bigger engine, being a 2.5l instead of the 1.8l the Courier had, but it doesn't seem any more powerful, lol. :) Thing is, I'm not really even a ford fella. The truck was free as I had to put a new slave cylinder in it to get the clutch to work and since you have to drop the tranny to even get to the slave cylinder I just put in new everything. Clutch, master cyl, slave cyl., flywheel, rear main seal...etc, etc.
