ABANDONED 1984 Ford F150 bullnose PART 2! Can we get it back on the road after over a decade?

[@GameJupiter-dc4dh]

i just bought a 1985 ford f150 inline 6 yesterday and these videos give me confidence that i can fix mine lol

[@MyLegacyGarage]

It's a shame it was so rusty. They are pretty decent trucks and not expensive like square bodies. 🤣

[@Charles-mj7uw]

If I bypass the smog pulley that goes to the alternator is it still going to pull enough to keep charging the battery

[@MyLegacyGarage]

I would think if you bypass it you'd need a new shorter belt?

[@RobertsGarage]

Wow I dint expect that rust on the frame

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Me either! Sometimes they are abandoned for a good reason apparently. 🤣

[@Foxcanfixit]

Just subbed, no clue how I have missed this channel until now.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Ditto! Like your Jeep. Thanks for watching!

[@RearEngineShop]

A buddy had one of these with the inline 6. Thing had 300k miles on it and leaked oil like crazy. He would add oil when it would start knocking. Couldn’t kill it.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

They are very stout engines for sure. It's a shame the rest of the truck is so rusty. Thanks for watching!

[@bobadam7021]

Good to see you back. Keep it up!

[@MyLegacyGarage]

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for watching!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video also try best and can't win all ! Also to bad on rust out part and others stuff ! But glad see back on KZbin videos again to and hopefully see on next videos to do!

[@MyLegacyGarage]

You surely can't win them all but ya gotta keep trying. Thanks for watching!

[@Charles-mj7uw]

Lookout is it still for sale I'm east tx area mine is 85 bullnose Ford

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Nice! It's sold and on to it's next life. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelkienhofer6394]

Looks like a Northern Michigan Truck

[@MyLegacyGarage]

No kidding! Not used to that severe of rust around here. 🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@brianhayes7618]

That's what road salt does

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Truth and the calcium doesn't help either. 🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@danielventura8073]

I haven't watched your videos in a while. Good to see you're still at it.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Every once in a while we get one cranked out as time allows. Thanks for watching!

[@johnnyjohnson5361]

Step 1 get it running , step 2 drive it to the junkyard . Lol

[@danielventura8073]

Never! Truck can be fixed up if the frame is good.

[@johnnyjohnson5361]

@@danielventura8073 the frame is junk not worth fixing .

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Not quite the junk yard but yeah it's a parts truck. Thanks for watching!

[@TheREALOC1972]

As I said in Part 1 of this build, These Bull/Bricknose trucks are by far the most popular truck build now because they are the last of the affordable Classic trucks. Your question about why Autozone would sell a part they know they are going to have to return? Because they are AutoZone and they just plainly don't care, They want to sale you a apart, they DAF if it works or not, it's all about quanity not quality for them. That's why I won't even buy spray paint from Autozone, just because the can says "Flat black" there's a 50/50 chance the paint inside is Gloss White..... I once got into a "discussion" with a store manager about a belt tensioner on a car that they watched me take off IN THEIR PARKING LOT........ he tried to tell me "Well our computer says...." Dude, my car is right there outside your window, I have grease up to my elbows and you and your boyfriend over stood there and watched me take it off.... Your computer is WRONG. I went across the street to O'Rielly and got the right part and a new belt in less than 2 minutes........

[@MyLegacyGarage]

They really don't bring much money that's for sure. It's a shame really because they are good trucks. I wish we had an O'Reillys around here but unfortunately AutoZone is the only game in town. I try to order online whenever I can but sometimes need stuff sooner. Thanks for watching again!

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@MyLegacyGarageWe don't have an Autozone anymore, they folded it up because, well Autozone, we still have O'Reilly's, Napa and Advanced.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

@@TheREALOC1972 advanced would be nice. There's one about half an hour away that I use when it's convenient. 🤣

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@MyLegacyGarage Yeah we got lucky, The one we have almost closed 20 years because the owner retired and moved to California with his kids but our recently (at the time) retired Wal-mart Store manager bought it to, she teases her husband that she only bought it so she could spend some time with him because "he spent more time there than at home".

[@LeftForDeadGarage]

This reminds me that I have one of those ford things to work on…. Lol

[@MyLegacyGarage]

That was the last one I had in stock. 🤣 Have the '55 up for sale too. Going a different direction with life and the channel. Thanks for watching!

[@LeftForDeadGarage]

@@MyLegacyGarage I ran across it on eBay a while back, I was wondering if you sold it or not.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

@@LeftForDeadGarage surely have not. People don't want to part with money here lately it seems.

[@blessedman3253]

The battery situation is any company makes less profit on the "economy " lower end stuff soo they want you to buy higher end products cause way more profit margins

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Yeah that's why you can't buy a serious work truck under MSRP right now. Ridiculous! Thanks for watching!

[@pd9717]

I missed this originally. Glad i saw it.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Glad ya got to catch it. Shame she was so rusty. Thanks for watching!

[@austins20]

How much did ya sell it for?

[@MyLegacyGarage]

I forget exactly but around $800 sounds right. Thanks for watching!

[@forthefunofit5487]

yep thats a parts truck!!!

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Unfortunately. It did go to a guy who's restoring his dad's truck and needed a drivetrain though so it wasn't wasted. Thanks for watching!

[@Vhiadra]

Great parts truck

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Indeed it went on to donate its drive line to a guys who was restoring his dad's truck. Thanks for watching!

[@billdyke9745]

A channel worth watching? Definitely. A truck worth making roadworthy? Of course not. A lesson learned. Check it all out thoroughly, preferably before you open your wallet. It rides high enough, you could have crawled underneath... We all make mistakes. Nice try, though. And you've got a sponsor! That's a good thing...🇬🇧👍

[@MyLegacyGarage]

I saw it pop up on marketplace for $300. Had just enough time to get it and get home for other things. Figured I couldn't get hurt too bad at that price and you gotta be quick when stuff like that pops up. At least around here. 🤣 Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support!

[@billdyke9745]

@@MyLegacyGarage At that kind of price you don't stand to lose much. Take off anything tasty, scrap the rest and you're showing a profit. And a KZbin video to boot to entertain all the armchair mechanics. Many thanks. 👍

[@MyLegacyGarage]

@@billdyke9745 yeah the fella that bought it was tickled pink. Needed the drivetrain for his father's truck that he was restoring. Perfect use for this old girl and her heart lives on. 👍

[@MichaelDario]

Just purchased this dame truck. Sorry, yours was a dud. You gained a subscriber, though!

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Can't win 'em all. Sometimes they were parked for a good reason. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
