Thanks! It was a fun one!

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

I've got a 84 ford wit 300 IL 6 auto,but I converted to 4 speed manual and loving every minute of it.

[@aidenms1945]

That’s incredible. I can’t wait till I get the money to do revivals will my kids and other truck content creators.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

No need to wait. Most of these old trucks were completely left for dead. If you have a smart phone and some basic tools. You can save the good stuff. Thank you for the feedback

[@sheldonbosch7340]

Nice truck I’m working on my third dent side now it’s a 1975 with the 300 and 3 in the tree absolutely nostalgic ride

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

That is awesome!

I have a 73 F100. It had a 360 but have been changed to a 390. It has unbelievable torque.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

they have torque for sure. FE motors are great

[@morgansword]

Floyd Cramer sure could tickle the ivory.... love the music of my era... I am seventy four. New points by this time shouldn't bankrupt you but please clean under where those points screw down to... that completes the ground for points to even work at all. I should mention that by turboing mine, it tripled the horsepower and ran like a scalded dog

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Good tip!

[@Ammo08]

Mine was all white, blue interior.

Nice Ford pickup truck. 👍

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Thanks 👍

[@mlmotorepuestos]

Great engine, in Argentina it was used a lot in the F100 and the Falcon.

[@mlmotorepuestos]

Their sound is very characteristic.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

That is really cool. Actually just found another shortbed newer that was special ordered with the 300 straight 6, 5 speed manual transmission and 4 wheel drive. Hopefully it will make a good revival and daily driver to find other forgotten gems.

[@wolfman515]

That's a 300, they're damn near indestructible.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Great motors!

[@wolfman515]

@@southernrevivalautomotive I'm Chevy all the way, but the Ford 300 is a fantastic engine. My ex wife had 375,000 miles on her pickup when neglect took it out. They're historically proven to be awesome.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Checkout the new video series. We found an old Chevy.

[@davidwebb7624]

What was that box on fire wall with the switch on it . I’ve never seen anything like that on a truck

[@jdclay1547]

How do you find these kinds of neat rigs?

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

look 24/7

[@scottburns4515]

You buy and sell? How do you see the value going on these dent side f100s vs the c10 market of the same year. I've got a nice 74 f100 but from what I've seen the c10's seem more popular but the f100 isn't far behind.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

We've been collecting for a little while now and the market ebbs and flows. I think everyone is really into the nostalgia of classic trucks right now. And they're looking to put their money somewhere tangible. That being said, the C10's ,I think, have been populars a collector for a lot longer than F100's. And because of that a lot of them have already been built or restored. I think you're right in that the F100's aren't far behind.

[@kennethschauer1801]

300 six will run forever

[@calvinevans8305]

Uncle Jesse's truck. Lol

[@jaygonzales4180]

What do you do with the truck after

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

This one was sold to someone who is doing a full restoration build on it.

[@aidenms1945]

Anyone else see the writing on the colum?

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

There was some paint marker on the column. Looked like from a scrap yard inventory. Pretty common on any old ford truck, more common on the 3 on the tree. They wear out the shift pattern on the column. Carters Bumparts on facebook completely restores columns if anyone needs one.

[@Jstme303]

Nice video if the camera was a little steadier.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Have since upgraded equipment. Thank you for the feedback. It is greatly appreciated

[@davidwebb7624]

What was behind the seat in that old blue truck

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

I think it was a homemade shelf situation

You didn’t have ground cable on battery when you were first checking for spark from the points. DUH!!

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

[@calvinevans8305]

13:00 the battery is disconnected.

You're right it was! It was a hot day 😂

[@Ford360CID]

always check you points for corrosion 99% of the time it's the reason you have no spark.

@@Ford360CID You are Absolutely correct on that. “Mortske Flick” does the trick
