Let the haters hate, it's obvious no matter what it is you've come across it surely is not staged!! It's funny to read those guys like they know anything at all about how much work goes into trying to revive one of these old worn out vehicles. Great to see this one somehow make it back to driving (if only of a farm ever again)!! Thanks so much for putting in the time and hard work Chad.

[@Grovetuckytom]

please think about Chad He also has to edit all of this for us and he does excellent job of that too!

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Definitely one for the win column, Goodwood Chad, thanks for sticking with it for our entertainment. We do appreciate you. Central California watching

[@Atomshamradio]

Who would hate this this is great stuff 👍

[@redredmane5544]

There are skepdicks that won’t believe regardless of what you show them. You cannot stage this. No matter what they witness ( even first hand!!! ), they will NEVER believe it!!!

[@markcollins5026]

Man. I agree some of those will it start video's are staged, this one is the real deal !

[@acla6398cell]

Making the impossible, possible. That tree making the ride around the farm with you was hilarious!

[@thesteelgator]

Love the tree! 😂

[@chetthodges6814]

I found your channel about a month ago. I have enjoyed your videos. You're just a common everyday guy that likes to resurrect old vehicles. You don't try to act like you know everything, you make mistakes and you own up to them. That makes me like you even more. Keep the videos coming

[@fuzzwack1]

That was like the junk my brother and I would buy for a 100 bucks and get going back in the 80s! Love it!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I'll have to pay somebody to take this heap!!

[@kande6916]

Nice job!! Thank you for getting the old girl one last breath of life at the old farm!!

[@EarlGreen-z5n]

I must say. The nostalgia of getting an old vehicle to roll out of it's grave under its own power, is beginning to grow on me. I know the work it takes to get it to run and move. You work hard on these vehicles. I give you a nod of respect Sir.

[@OSGarage]

Gotta always have faith in the autolite 2 barrel those things will always come around. Nice 76 ford!

[@craigbowley6783]

I wish we could have seen what came flying out of the exhaust. I love that part.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Enjoyed the video Chad 🙂👍 Always a welcomed surprise when there's a guest appearance from *Ms. Daisy!* Happy wrenching 🔧🔩

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍

[@charlesstevens5894]

Chad, I've been a Ford guy my whole life. I love when you bring these ole Blue Ovals back to life. Brings a tear to the eye. Great video my friend. Maybe , just maybe, we might make you a Ford guy as well one day.

[@thomasdebord1144]

Ford chevy dodge hell they are all good and all have made bad ones too lol. I also enjoyed watching this ole ford come back to life.

[@johnruppe1699]

Strong work; surprised the old duraspark box hadn’t puked its guts out.

[@kirk467]

Somebody was trying to start it while it was locked up and didn’t try to turn it by hand like you did! They ground the ring gear down with the starter without turning it by hand and breaking it loose! The 360 sounds pretty strong Chad!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

That probably happened due to the mices building a nest in the bellhousing. The part where the teeth are rusted was sitting at the bottom and they built a nest there. They pee in their nests and that's what rusted the teeth away.

[@kirk467]

We grew up and our first trucks were Fords m from my oldest brother had a 74 Ford Ranger and my next to oldest brother had a Ford Explorer 76 model! My first new truck was a Ford F150 Custom, and my first truck was a used 1968 F100 with 240 engine! I later swapped it out with a 71 model 302! Thanks for sharing Chad, I always enjoy your videos and nothing negative brother!

[@carlbernard4197]

I had a 1976 F100 that basically died right in a Mazda dealership parking lot after running probably over 300k miles and much of it was in the city with all of the stop and go operation 😳 😅

[@klapaucius77]

I'm always amazed how resilient those old engines are. Bust them free, clean the points, add fuel and away she goes!

[@briank4753]

That was amazing. Can’t believe that ran and drove

[@NensolOlarte]

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwmwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwswwwwwwswwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@thor1911.]

This absolutely has to be one of the best revivals I have ever seen well done great video

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate it! 👍

[@toddodell2904]

Nice truck way to go it deserved to to be brought back to life and I am a Chevrolet man.

[@kirk467]

Chad. You seriously need to go put the chain wrench on the old international truck! I can imagine the oil viscosity isn’t up to par as long as it’s been sitting!

[@bigjanyway2224]

Chad you are a Tennessee treasure ! I always laugh my ass off watching your trials and tribulations. Thanks for bringing these old pickem up trucks back to life. I have 3 I've revived myself. Keep the fantastic content coming !

[@JimsFastbackGarage]

This is so ironic, I loved the video. I just posted my video on an F250 startup. It is my truck, and I hope to put it to work this spring. The cab and bed were nearly identical condition to mine. Thanks for not giving up on the old girl, Chad. 😊

[@kirk467]

You definitely should use the chain wrench every time you try to spin a motor that’s seized! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Chad you should go revisit the old International truck on that farm! I bet the chain wrench would give it hell brother!

[@kurtschreiber908]

Chad, my friend…I say this with love….your insane! You plan on fixing this ol girl and put her back on the road? God your a saint

[@michiganporter]

Them little saplings will grow back so damn quick! I been cutting back our land all season long cuz the woods are just taking over! Good work bud!

[@tonypaul2987]

Sir you are awesome, love your videos. Thank you for all your hard work. I pulled out my first car like this sitting up in totally covered with brains.

[@DarrenTutt]

You are the living proof that trucks and trees will Ruin your knees. From tree surgeon to knee surgeon. Your mumma must be very proud of you. Love the show and a big Hi from the uk.

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

I can't believe you got it running that well for little or no money, nice job sir!

[@scottssmallengine]

I cant believe it ran, let alone drove! Just goes to show, they used to build stuff to last once upon a time!..... Awesome job!👍🏻😁

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

What a bloody fantastic video 😮 The agony of defeat was not going to be stolen from the thrill of Victory ! Really enjoyed that... 👍Augh-Ya...

[@kevincouvillion]

That was pretty awesome, I didn’t think that one going to come back from the dead . Awesome job , I love watching your channel and your other one , keep it going

[@QuantumTime-pc9ts]

Life is finite, but in the case of this old truck she has defied the laws of nature. It warms my heart to see life reborn into this man made machine, and only man can give her life again. It takes more than just man to revive these old machines, it takes character and soul to care enough to see life where others only see death and disappointment. Life is man and man is life, thank you for sharing your life with us and these incredible machines.

[@georgepins9387]

So did this one inspire you to go back and give the International truck another try? Maybe with the chain to get it to turn? What was wrong with the molasses? Enjoy them all. Keep it up.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

The IH was turning, it just won't free up.

[@brianbishop3562]

That is awesome Chad that you got her to come back to life it's just a shame that the rest of her is just too far gone

[@garyburgess3829]

Good job, Chad....it can never be said that you give up. Good to see it running again after 30yrs

[@robertbennett9243]

It was a real bummer to have to wait till Wednesday for one of your excellent videos. Did you ever find your tool box key? Loved the stake pocket tree.

[@AmericanmadeKustomz]

Always glad to catch your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@morewithles]

Keep gettin after it Chad! Sure so enjoy all you share! Blessings

[@samsnider781]

This reminds me of a rusty pile of crap I got running one time. It was a 78 with a 302 had been sitting for 35 years when I pulled it out of a holler in Ohio It was left for dead after popping out of gear and rolling into said holler. Lol great video Chad! Keep em' rolling. By the way that black gmc in that tree row needs to be resurrected some time.

[@robertcoulthard2746]

Mr This and That, thankyou for being so hard headed and persisting with lockjaws granddaddy.Great Video regards Rob

[@kennethsonier1766]

It was very cool watching you get that 76 Ford running again. Keep up the great work Chad and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@dalehartley-vd9qo]

When I first saw that truck I would have thought that one will never start. Show's what I know good video and a good job Chad

[@ZPDSurvival]

Very Cool. At the end I thought you would drive it into the pond to give the tree some water and later to cool that motor down. Cheers.

[@grinch1963]

Wow !! You are amazing when it comes to these old worn out dead vehicles. I honestly never thought that would run but for it to not only run but drive, wow!! Love the happy little tree ! Chad I truly hope you can keep this channel open it/you are by far the best thing on KZbin !!!

[@rickydonahue1586]

Love the tree!😂😂😂 I'm glad that you moved to Wednesdays and there were a lot more commercials with this episode than I've ever seen on your channel which I know is good for you buddy.👍👍

[@russelltreadway3211]

Great job getting the ole Ford up and running. Love your videos. Keep up the great work...

[@geebopbaluba1591]

The only difference between a 360 and a 390 is the crank, pistons and rods. A 428 has a larger bore and a 427 is a very special beast with very expensive rotating assembly and are made for high RPM.

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

Yeah, I still laugh at all the people that talk trash on the 360 but praise the 390. The 360 was nothing special, just a run of the mill everyday smog truck engine but I don't think a lot of these people realize a 445 stroker kit drops right into it with no grinding to the block for clearance whatsoever. All the 360 is, is a .050" over 352 in reality. Too bad Ford chose to sink the pistons way down in the hole to reduce compression for emissions instead of having a proper set of pistons that came up to the top of the deck and just use the proper CC dish to obtain desired compression ratio. They would have run a lot better that way.

[@jeremybuchan8060]

Absolutely amazing Chad! I'm starting to think you can make just about anything come back to life and drive. Thank you for the entertainment and the handwork you do. And for all those tree huggers find something else to complain about. Those "trees" were originally weeds that grew long enough to become trees and the same process will continue and or happen again with or without Chad's intervention. Go learn about how nature works and see the light!

[@robertspray7472]

Battery powered sawzall might be a better option for the small tree removal process.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I'd rather it not take all day.

[@bulldogmotorsports9522]

People will always leave hate comments. Some people has nothing better to do than to leave negative comments. Keep doing what you do. Love your content on both channels.

[@RayGates-r9x]

That's gotta be the most insane will it run video I've seen. That truck shouldn't even have started, let alone run. And how it even drove around the farm with that leaf spring and shackle busted is just a miracle.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

You got the engine running somewhat, but I think it's just a very tired engine😊 Still an old tired engine. Be careful and don't hurt yourself😮

[@mightyporky]

I laughed while you tried to explain how a farm works to folks that know everything already ( probably live in mamas basement and she feeds em too)I did not think you would get this thing to drive much less run.

[@AZVIDS]

Chad the engine and brakes sound like a Ford that just rolled out of the factory😉. I think you should make a Channel Logo with a truck with a tree growing out of the bed! I have seen at least 2 of your resurrections with trees in the beds!

[@roberthocking9138]

The best thing is the tree that grew in the bed, flying like a flag in the back as you drove off 😂. Well done

[@brianhayes7618]

I can't believe you drove that rig out of its grave bravo

[@olymono2625]

Great resurrection! Seeing the tree in the bed when you pulled out was the topping of this entertaining video.

[@markcollins5026]

Man. it probably has a vacuum leak somewhere, making it a little rough !

[@heatherbrown2761]

I heard Ford is going to offer heated tailgates on their newer trucks. That way in the winter your hands don't get cold when you inevitably have to push it. 😁

[@contraband1543]

Cracked Heads Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time 😂

[@ThisNThatGarage]

😂

[@robertcmatthews460]

Chad man your a man after my own heart like myself you dont give up very easy until the last try! Having worked on Fords for years I had a feeling that that old 360 would come back to life and it did! I get alot of enjoyment watching you bring these old rust buckets back to life! keep your channels going and I will keep watching to see what you come up with next!!

[@walkergillette3918]

Chad you're the Dr. Frankenstein of autos you bring dead things back to life

[@butchcollman5953]

Daisy's got the good life, good neighbors good friends and snacks. Chad you're a good man for acknowledging her. Oh yea you're also pretty good with those resurrections thank you Sir for another great video 🙂🙃

[@tombridges5946]

Loved the video! Those Ford spring hangars were bad for rusting out. I've replaced a few

[@sweetmeatbeatz3615]

Man that ole Chevy hitting a lick nicely ❤

[@rudyrivera7426]

You’re amazing! How you bring these old vehicles back to life! You are truly amazing! Chad ! Keep them coming! Enjoyed every video! 👌👍

[@blitzevans4273]

When you drove it out of it's grave flying the freedom maple, I was laughing! When the zombies come for us all, Chad will still be driving! Great stuff

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Perseverance , You have about twice as much as me . Will it run ? . YES it will . Other than that , the suspension is shot , the body is shot , the brakes are N / A . The motor could be re-built and put into another more capable body and you would have a running driving truck , ( or car ) . You have proved that any vehicle has a purpose , God Bless you Chad , He is definately on your side , Till next time , Stuart in Canada ..

[@dangyles687]

Time for some awesome midweek entertainment! I was hoping you might get back to this ole ford!

[@tomwebb766]

Maybe your assistant can rebuild it like Pole Barn Garage did with.that old Chevy. Great video as always. Thank you

[@crazzypainter3]

Great video Chad keep up the great videos

[@aaronblackett134]

At first I thought that was in good shape but nope she's rotten. Still impressive that it started and drove though. Another great video buddy!

[@morseoneuk]

Well done, I didnt think you could get her rolling and driving again. I was wrong....!!

[@caseybeckner2625]

When that shot out it made me jump 😂😂 keep making these videos please don't let the hate get to you stay strong Mr chad

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Chad :) , that 1976 Ford F150 sure amazing me too and shock me got up running also test drive too ! Also seen worst rust out truck that one plus Domas and Lock Jaw too but power train was good on motor also transmission! Yes that be parts truck most certain and hope hear what happens to toi!

[@wayneburks6906]

That was the best will it run video I've ever seen that tree sticking up out of that truck man I had to cut the video off and Catch My Breath i about cracked up. when I was a little kid my daddy would pull old cars out of the junkyard and out of the fields and out of Barns and get them running clean them up and sell them or he would give them to people that didn't have a car that was back in the mid-60

[@632Harrison]

Great job sir Lol!!! Now if that had been a chevrolet it would have to be towed out of the hole Only ford and dodge have the power to be drove out Looking forward to seeing your next video Thank you sir for your devotion and dedication May Gods Blessings continue to shine upon you my friend

[@Flvera508]

Chad, you are a badass! I've been waiting all week for my fix. Now for the next!

[@lawrenceedwards6327]

Shocked the sh…ahem, stuff out of me when she barked off. I’m a Ford fan and I’m glad to see the old girl breathe fire again!

[@brabim80]

Tree still being in the truck at the end was icing on the cake - awesome!!!

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

Awesome video Chad. That old Ford wants to live!! If I had a way to come get it, I’d try to buy that old thing!!

[@pilsplease7561]

I have a early 70's F250 my grandfather bought brand new with the camper attachments and everything absolutely stole it off the lot got a smoking good deal on it has the 460 which is the biggest truck engine ford ever made thing hauls ass and has the dual fuel tanks and everything. My uncle rebuilt the engine with race cams and pistons and etc and truck is a beast because of it.

[@Hbzprojects]

Love the videos, hoping things work out in your favor and you can continue!

[@bobbymac9334]

Gotta love a good ole ford. She was just taking a bit of a nap all those years, ready to feel the breeze blowin through her again.

[@1244taylor]

You have the patience of Jobe as they say.. most would have given up on that one.. tks for sharing..

[@billymcmanus9642]

She's a beauty 😂 the bes not moving when you lowered the cap almost spit my coffee ☕ out lol

[@Rasputin-p4e]

I don't skips ads, mate, that's the only small way I could do to help your channel. Keep on uploading.

[@joeedwards922]

Chad, I had 5 ads on this video - South Texas - awesome job on that 360. Could be a great candidate for another build.

[@keysangler247]

Your more stubborn than they are rusted, for sure! Your one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing

[@waynecap5960]

That is just simply amazing that you could drive that old truck around the farm, it was part of the farm.😂😂😂

[@MrBones-uw8zd]

If you ever run into another engine that's locked this badly, you can use unsweetened lemon juice to help get it unlocked. I was told about it by an old mech back in the early 90's and he was in his mid-late 70's then so he was one of the "Old Guys" from back in the day that knew stuff most of us had never heard of - And we all know those guys knew about such things out of necessity in their own time of doing things. It MUST be pure, 100% unsweetened lemon juice or it will not work because if it has anything else in it, that ruins the chemical composition of it so it. It works due to the citric acid content of the juice in that citric acid attacks rust but won't harm any good metal that's present but again it must be 100% pure unsweetened lemon juice to work. In my case I used it not long ago to unlock an engine in a 1930 Model A that had sat for 40 years and yes - It was locked tight. The owner and the shop working on it coudn't get it freed up but I offered to do it when I asked the shop owner what was going on with it and by the next day I had it freed up and even test ran it later that day. All I did was I filled/flooded the cylinders with the juice and let it sit overnight, then the next morning I poured some oil in , let that soak in for a few minutes and rocked the car while it was in high gear and it broke loose without too much trouble. For really bad cases it may take an extra night to really work but it will. You (Or anyone) can test this sometime by simply finding something rusted such as a nut and bolt (Or really anything) that's rusty and submerge it in the juice overnight. The next day you'll literally be able to wipe the rust off with a paper towel so be sure to try it some time and see for yourself. It just works.

[@bradrozell]

Always love your revivals!

[@kevinjohnson1353]

I'm starting to think u might have a little magic up ur sleeves lol, but seriously good job on that old Ford, I don't blame ya for giving up twice on it ,just gos to show you stick with it,work throw it & ull anything, great job ,ur fan Kevin from Indiana

[@72whoosh]

FairPlay,I thought that one had you beat! But to see it not only run,but drive too,👌🏼👍🏼🇬🇧

[@jasonhester9873]

Chad don’t worry about the Hippocrates. The tree huggers fail to realize the very house they in trees were cut to build. The land that house sits on tress were cut. The roads they drive on trees were cut. Stores they shop in trees were cut. Don’t even entertain the comments of ignorance. Great channel keep on keeping on. God bless

[@destry232]

Great to see Miss Daisy at 29:33. Great video working on the Ford!

[@wisjeepmanjim8450]

Well you did a correct job of field timing it. They always start.

[@waltalbright]

Enjoyed the picture show. And oh by the way lots of ad's 😊

[@cheegebvvbvvbbhggf8638]

I like how you get old cars running and driving at home instead of loading it on trailer

[@Maximus65]

Good old Resurrection Chad got another one going! Definitely saw plenty of ads on this video. Everyone watching please let those ads roll to help Chad out 💪

[@josephmarshall4575]

You asked in a video a while ago what we like more on the work less or none. I want to say you should just be you. Your videos are interesting and honest your not trying to be something you're not. I personally appreciate the honesty.
