Abandoned F100 - Back on the road

[@Jeep4Wrk]

Great video! These trucks were sometimes used up...completely. Brakes, motor, trans, steering, gauges. Everything needs to be touched. But it's great these are pretty simple without all the electronics and sensors that make new engines so difficult. Thanks for bringing it back to life!

[@edwardmulder3777]

Thanks for the reminder on the brake hose, I replaced one front hose but never replaced the other front hose on my Camaro-- I bought one but never put it on. Thanks for the reminder. Keep up the good work.

Great resurrection of an old truck video. Well thought out and explained. Nice patina on the truck and +1 for Ohio 330!

The high idle may have to do with massive air leaks .. vacuum lines and intake. . Nice truck

[@SirCavemaninthewest]

That is a good battery you got there. I worked on a 1970 F100 302. Some amateur put 3 gaskets under the carburetor and warped the throttle shaft. I Swap in a 2100 Autoline carburetor and it fired up just right. No major adjustments, just have a helper to put it in gear and set the mixture.

Dang, young feller you do a good job on them old fords, proud of you, Merry Christmas

[@Shane-Singleton]

I understand about being frugal with spending and all. But I would have (and have done so myself) just went ahead and purchased new shoes and hardware kits for both sides. Especially rather than trying to refurb that rusty adjuster. It's just so inexpensive to replace it, especially where safety is concerned. On the plus side great job on that carb rebuild and it sounds pretty good idling in the shop! Get yourself a new radiator and cap, a look at that power steering and you'll be good to go. Wish I had a shop, especially one that size!

[@edwardmulder3777]

I would recommend lining up the spark plug leads just to tidy up the engine bay a wee bit and prevent any cross sparking from them just in case. My only criticism. Liked your previous vid. Makes it more enjoyable seeing all the problems taken care of before you start cranking the engine about 100 times like u do in some videos other guys share.

[@shartne]

You must adjust the idle lean screws in the front of the carb at the bottom to make it idle smooth. Use your vacuum gauge and take vacuum off the manifold some place. adjust for max vacuum about 17 to 21 lbs all are different.

Great video! I'll be working on my old 70's Chevy now. Thanks for the motivation.

[@kingfordism]

When you tore the brake drum apart there was no self adjusters on it. you didn't show putting it back together but I assume you didn't know they are required (that they work is a different story). There is a cable with a eye ring on it that slips on before the brake springs at the top and goes around a pivot bracket that goes under the bottom of the rear brake spring. It hooks into a bracket that turns that self adjuster as the brakes cycle. With out them on you have to adjust that self adjuster as the pads wear.

[@330_garage3]

The adjuster cable came with the turn adjuster kit... but there wasn't one installed when I pulled the pads.. so I made the assumption these trucks didn't have an auto adjuster... Now you've made me curious

[@gregreelman4526]

Enjoyed the videos.Were you checking vacuum at the distributor advance location at the carb ? That's ported vacuum,only has vacuum at off idle.

[@330_garage3]

Haha yep... learned that one the hard way. I figured a vehicle prior to the mid 70s wouldn't have a ported vacuum... it took me a minute to figure that out when I "had no vacuum at idle"

[@6petrolhead6]

I love the fact you can find an old car /truck in the woods get it running and drive it home in the US In the UK it's a bit more complicated than that ot has to be fully MOTED ( Ministry of transport tested ) and taxed and insured before it can go anywhere near the road

Looks like it needs clutch adjustment. It should start to pull the truck at 1-1/2 to 2 inches off the floor. If your knee comes up past your ear, it's time to adjust the clutch.

[@brennonharmon9548]

I am doing the exact same thing to my 70 right now, I tried to break free the bleeder screws and failed

[@edwardmulder3777]

Remember to insert a similar sized drill bit inside the bleeder before trying to torque it off so it doesn't get crushed,also try using heat then wd40 or similar lubricant

[@edwardmulder3777]

Brennon Harmon remember to put a drill bit same diameter as inside diameter of bleeder then wrench on it to prevent crushing it, also try heat and penetrating fluid

Reason why it dont go any where fast is its gear ratio is too high for pulling and torque. Could be a 411 or 373 gear for torque and crawling.

Disc brake conversion...maybe a good investment.

[@330_garage3]

You're telling me, you have to stand on the pedal with this thing

[@jamiewebber8091]

I noticed you don’t have power brakes/brake booster. About 8” diaphragm that bolts up to firewall and to master cylinder and connects to a vacuum line. That should help increasing the braking power. Cheaper fix for the time being, those disc conversion look to cost a pretty penny. It looks like my ‘69 F250 had one at one point but was taken off. Can see a plugged vacuum line just sitting in that area. Waiting on part to arrive in the mail and will install this weekend. Thanks for all the awesome videos and amazing content. Cheers!
