Abandoned F100 REVIVED: 25 Years in the Woods - Driven From the Grave?!

[@ThunderHead289]

the perfect formula for a revival car: manual everything. Follow along with what I do in this video and y’all can be out there doing your own - you can see it’s really not that hard. If you have seen this before, nice to see you again - if you haven’t, welcome to a recap of the first large scale average joe revival ever put on youtube.

[@yuriyreiter8989]

This is a throwback!

[@RedWingsninetyone]

I knew I had seen this before! But I love these videos anyway!

[@offroad4x4nhlife45]

the days of unmarried Luke lol.

[@robertvance1873]

I'd love to see this truck now and find out what happened to it.

[@sexysammij1]

@@robertvance1873 you and me both

[@Mach1bud]

The original video for this revival is actually how I discovered your channel. It's a good one.

[@danbartolini27]

The for 300 6 cylinder was and is one of the most durable engines ever built

[@netrioter]

The 240 is better actually

[@austinwilbanks5919]

My wifes grandpa had the one in his farm truck. He fell off a tractor and cut his legs almost clean off with the bush hog. His brother threw him in and had that 300 redlined all the way to the hospital. It puked its guts out as soon as they got it in the parking lot. I just actually saved it from rotting in the woods for my wife. A lot of sentimental value for her

[@thepyrodude]

My grandfather bought a 65 f100 new with the 300 six she has almost a million miles now days and still putting in work she my daily driver

[@brentstewart59]

By far the most durable thing ever built by Ford. I have yanked quite a few 351s and 302s in favor of a 300 with a 4 spd

[@Smokey_Yote]

Flatheads are the absolute most durable

[@dreamingcode]

I absolutely love these Revival videos!

[@donameci7]

Thunderhead289 with a friend like you and the positivity level so high, everything’s possible! Keep the classics rolling!

[@spacecat7247]

Very cool. These projects can be frustrating but when it's all over, the feeling of accomplishment cannot be beat.

[@klancyjones726]

Glad to see you back at it Luke. The old Ford sounded good. Had a 77 with a 300 six and a manual 3 speed. One tuff truck.

[@kennycriswell141]

I love watching revivals like these where they are gotten running where they sit and driven from grave. Wish there were more videos like this. Thanks Luke.

[@michaelcaraway2305]

Old vehicle revivals are about the story behind the car and bringing those memories back to life more so than just making an old car run.

[@2ndCavTrooper]

Luke, you and Kevin keep impressing the shit out of me. You guys have good heads on your shoulders. It's great to see you young guys carrying the torch for the good old cars . All we need to do now is get Kevin and Mook hitched.......lol

[@AveragePootis]

A Ford Pickup revival in a Forest? reminds me of the video that got me into watching revivals, by you and junkyard digs... I must say that i like your style more than mr. digs, you seem to be a bit more... if i can call you that... Professional. At least you seem a bit more responsible if anything

[@broncodude2828]

Same here! 👍

[@67Stang]

I was thinking the same thing. Almost thought it was the same video for a second.

[@Robrt32]

Yea some of the stuff mr digs says just isn’t right, I think dude you’d seem smarter if you didn’t speak.

[@rustyjeep2469]

I Like Digs but had to stop watching him. He mostly clowns around trying to act funny to get views while Luke actually teaches you stuff. I'm more interested in cars than random people's personalities and sorry but I don't think Digs is as funny as he thinks, if I wanna laugh I'll just watch actual comedy... The only KZbinr who acts goofy on purpose that I actually find worth watching is Puddin's Fab Shop, now he's hilarious... and has some legit skills he builds cool cars with to boot

[@spacecat7247]

The thoughtful man in his mechanical element. Would love to turn some wrenches with this guy.

[@rodfatherschopshop6004]

Nothing lasts forever, except diamonds and old Ford’s! Great save and appreciate the concern for the environment!😎🇺🇸

[@randyreynolds6645]

My first truck was a year old 1968 F-100 same set up. I drove it for 15 years before a friend wanted it. Loved this video. Thanks It's floating around Iowa somewhere.

[@thomashixson8572]

Nice love the straight 6 trucks

[@kenterry3226]

I'm totally for using what you got to make it go. Been there done that got it going. Bravo to you for thinking of it. 🎉

[@glennnickerson8438]

So glad to find a group of viewers who realize the value of a Ford product and not brainwashed that Chevy was the only thing ever built! Nice save Luke, try doing that with a Silverado built in the last 15 yrs when it sits for years!

[@TheWalkmanRotation]

This truck is the one that made me stumble across your channel.

[@ThunderHead289]

As much as everyone has forgotten, I’m the original average joe revival guy that got copied by the now big names.

[@TheWalkmanRotation]

@@ThunderHead289 Yeah. Crazy thing-is not too long afterwards-I watched this dude on a channel called 330 Garage revive one too-and out of nowhere-it turned into a crazy build! That truck is NUTS now. I've been doing it for years-my name is Jason-and I had a article come out 5 years on Best Ride called "The Car Whisperer". Check it out. I'm out there still.

[@TheWalkmanRotation]

@@ThunderHead289 Coming straight out of Spokane,Washington.

[@jamesmichael3998]

That old motor sounds as good as my old 70 Maverick used to sound which was perfect. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

[@throttlewatch4614]

What’s funny is when Derek rescued the Ford they gave him the fuel pump you need and he needed the one you got lol

[@vhfgamer]

HAHAHA! That's true! I was sitting there thinking "Gee this sure seems familiar."

[@ProjectRescues]

I remember this video. This was years ago when I first saw it. That's how I found the channel!

[@PaganWizard]

I really love these late 60's, early 70's pickups, especially the 4x4's. Dam glad to see you guys were able to wake this sleeping beauty. When JYD told us that you were moving, he also said that you would be taking a break from KZbin. I'm glad to see that your channel is still very much alive and active.

[@kennethchapman9564]

Ford straight six, indestructible, can't kill it.

[@jrussellcase]

Yep. I don't dislike their 302, but that old straight six was their best invention since the wheel and learning how to make fire. That engine will run forever. 👍

[@markhookom5371]

Thank you for showing fun, responsible gun use, it means a lot more when it comes from a non-gun channel!

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

That was a hell of a good day. To get that truck back running was great. It reminds me so much about when I was in my youth and what I did to keep wheels turning underneath me. I did some pretty radical engineering myself.

[@billyhensley592]

359 thousand miles and I drive it everyday best damn motor to ever grace under the hood of a ford pickup and I've had em all I love them ol Ford's

[@sscottphillips1973]

Almost like the first junkyard digs video I watched with you and Kevin, love watching your content

[@stashwaxroller1740]

great job guys !!!! Love those 300 6's !! I recently revived a 76 w/ a 300 that had been thrown away. Thanks to what I have learned from channels like yours !

[@hughmackellar7941]

Good work fellas. Well done. That was certainly worth celebrating!

[@christophermason9613]

Thanks for the great content. The only revivals I watch are you, Kevin, derik, and mood.

[@99unclebob]

great video you guys, how can anyone give you 10 👎 , your just reviving an old truck with your buddy and passing on knowledge to anyone viewing this video, all it needs is some cleaning and maintenance your good to go for some time to come , I know these were good in snow with proper snow tires and a few hundred pounds in the bed , with the std trans you could idle through some decent snow from that low gearing and torque of that 300 6 cylinder engine , they were a beast, gobs of torque and had a bit of a thirst on fuel, just never quite 👍

[@upfactoryracing4148]

Saved another piece of history!!!👍

[@phillipfleming5891]

Really love these old truck revivals.

[@king0cans]

This was cool. I like cars that have sentimental value to the owner. Also Luke you do a great job. Not a sellout like some shows. Thank you

A Ford 300 6? Of course that thing will start!

Old but good everything from the video it's self to the content with in 👍

[@kellyblack4897]

Love these models. I have two 300ci sitting on the shop floor as well! I don’t even need to finish the video to know this thing will run and drive. The hat distributed with every new sale of that truck probably even still runs!

At first, I thought this was a re-upload of the old ford you and kevin did 4 or 5 years ago

[@thatranger92]

came here to comment that and then saw this lol

[@alecjahn]

Excellent work as always, Luke. And Ethan! Cheers.

[@wb6162]

That old Ford 300 six has to be one of the most durable engines ever made. My brother owned a black top business way back when. He bought an F250 with the 300 six/4 speed manual. it had 100K on it when he got it..he pulled a heavy trailer with it for another 150K before the rest of the truck just gave up but the engine still ran fine.

[@spceinvdr6603]

Usually success comes because you are good at what you do, but this time I think there was some good luck involved as well.

[@dougackerman4182]

Luke great video

[@Canadiancarguy1987]

well if it's a 240 to 300 six we know it will fire and run! those things are damn near bulletproof!

[@DanEBoyd]

Think it's a 300 because of the double-grooved pulleys.

[@tedbowles8927]

Ha! My first thought after seeing the engine was Mortske would be flipping his shit over that flexy hose lol.

Excellent video Luke :) that motor think is 250 not 240 type also if 300 be orange block not blue color and yes that truck in good condition also be worth fixing up for sure!

[@Junk_and_disorderly]

I feel like this is the video that turned me on to revivals but I’m not seeing jyd. So it must be different. Can’t wait to watch!

[@ThunderHead289]

This predates Junkyard digs actually, and was the groundwork for what I needed up doing to help him start his channel

[@Junk_and_disorderly]

@@ThunderHead289 you’ve been holding out on us?! Ouch! But yeah this reminded me of the 65 f250 revival. Sweet video!

[@ThunderHead289]

@@Junk_and_disorderly this video actually has over one million views in 2016. It’s what all the revivalist people copied - I’m the original full length revival guy, especially the “from the grave” one. That’s why Kevin’s f250 was very similar - because A. It was me. B. I did a ton of the work. This was a test really to see if it’s worth my time to ever film a revival again. - figures after 4 years people had either forgotten or never seen. I was right.

[@chuckhaynes6458]

Left over from my gas station days of the '60's I have an Ford fuel filter wrench. Like a small oil filter wrap wrench. I thought those spin-on fuel filters were a good idea. Too bad they never caught on.

[@matthewrogers2682]

i learned how to drive in an ol 79’ f100 with a 3 on the tree we still have that old girl in the shed out on the farm

[@chrisfreemesser]

Gotta love the simplicity of these older vehicles...the more complex modern cars get the more we'll probably see older vehicles brought back onto the road. It's interesting...all these channels I watch that do revivals seem to get all of their stuff at O'Reilly but there isn't an O'Reilly within like 275 miles of my house. They don't have any stores at all in western/central New York. Go figure.

[@tooter.turtle]

The Mopar slant 6 was also a very durable and reliable little engine.

[@hammeringhankaaron7468]

This video reminded me of The Blair Witch Project but with a happy ending. I'm glad nobody died or got attacked by a bigfoot.

[@cjplol6589]

I use Yamaha internal combustion chamber cleaner, after it's running and for carb cleaner (you'll only use carb cleaner for ether replacement). Carbon deposits go adios. spray down it's throat while running. Tune up in a can

Hi Luke, 1st time comment. I don't have a T.V. so i watch all video on my phone which isn't the best. I can't hear a word you say, you're not the only tuber that has this problem. You really should think about one of those mikes that you wear on your collar so it picks up everything. Thanks, enjoy your content just wish i could hear you or if channel hadclose caption i could at least read what your saying.

[@tdibell]

Absolutely Impressed!! I also noticed that you fire a rifle off left handed! When I fired my M-14 in the Marine Corps rifle training, I also fired lefty. They tried to change me to righty and I missed the target by a mile. I fired lefty and hit five bullseyes in a row! Nothin’ wrong with the way we fire!! Get some ducks!

[@neubert500]

Awesome video! Question, how would you go about cleaning the fuel tank and fuel system now to return it to service? Thanks for the video!

[@cobyfield9237]

They would have to drop the tank out of the truck, flush it out, fill with a rust converter I assume, then leak test it. I'd personally just buy a new fuel tank if it shows any signs of dodgyness.

[@BlownBudgetGarage]

Looks so much like the first one y’all did.
