Mick, torch the rusted bolts up until cherry red. Then immediately spray it with the hose or refridged H2O. Heat- Quench process pulverizes the rust & breaks surface tension. This works very well most times.

Such a cool old F100. My Grandfather bought a 78 like that red on black brand new when I was 5. Last truck he ever owned before he passed away in 82. These trucks remind me of the good ol days.

Ever since my mate drove around Australia in a 351 Clevo LPG ambulance converted to a camper I have dreamed of owning a nice Effy!! Great work on this one!!

[@backshed5295]

[@ianhelyar6383]

Yeah, I was gonna do that as a teenager. Plan was to buy an F100 and head off looking for work wherever I found it. Life got in the way. Now I've got an '07 Falcon Ute with a canopy on the back, but I haven't done any travelling yet...

[@user-ft8wr6le8d]

Howdyyawl from the land down under. Looks fantastic. MayB some mud flaps would finish it off. Good job😊

[@ArtemyMalchuk]

Big thanks mate! I like vids about classic Ford trucks in Australia (South Africa and Brazil too) even more than in US.

Gorgeous yella effy, turned out to be a real neat unit and I like the way you treated it sympathetically. Maybe I'm wierd but I really liked the flares in yellow.

Mick, I've seen live tests of penetrating oils. None of them are thin enough to follow the bolt/fastener threads. But guess what does? Brake Fluid does!

[@change_your_oil_regularly4287]

This might sound stupid (probably) but with heavily rusted/troublesome studs in the past I've put another nut on the stud level with the end of the stud/thread as not to damage it and gotten my pneumatic chisel with a cheap (softer metal) modified chisel bit rounded and shortened turned the air reg pressure down and used it to just "knock" on the end of the stud to help break it loose. Inline with the stud not 90 degrees to it obviously or it'll snap off. Just sneak up on it with the air pressure setting don't go crazy and set 150psi or you'll not like the result lol using heat at the same time also helps using this method. Just my experience and others may find it stupid but it's worked for me. Info may or more likely may not be useful for someone but its another comment for the infamous YT algorithm anyway.

[@frostype400]

Most the time on stuck exhaust bolts I opt for the oxy get the bolt nut whatever glowing red wait for it to cool and undo there’s some pretty cool induction heating tools you can buy now but I have the oxy you can have a nice controlled and hot flame there’s always more than one way to skin a cat as they say

[@davebarns1]

I was expecting the dragways to go on it. Good job, just goes to show with a little bit of elbow grease...ones mans junk becomes another mans treasure 👍🏻

Hi mate the yellow xlt was originally from Nowra on the south coast I reckonise it by the flares and the pinch weld all around the bumpers it was a really tidy truck a few years ago and had big money spent on it I’m only a newcomer to your channel.

[@littlemonstersgarage-lmg2527]

Definitely had some luck with just a few small things to fix. Turned out great in the end, even the bonnet.

[@davidrose2382]

Shorten wheelbase and tray ,lower 3inches allround ,cut springs 2 inches front ,burn canopy,can front visor, smaller mirrors, pull wheel flares ,sand down yellow paint to patina finish,oil up linseed finish,zoomies,aluminium inside of tray to lighten up am and feul injection,contour foam bucket look bench seats,you'll have 50 to 65k truck mate,plenty of patina short trays out there

Did those old fords come with actual 351 clevland engines or did they come with 351m's and u are just calling them clevlands?? Becouse here in the U.S. they never made a pickup with a clevland. They came with 351m or 400.

[@backshed5295]

Yeah they came from the factory with clevelands here 🍺👍

[@pixieflitwit1516]

Were right hand drive trucks like this imported from the u.s?

No mate for a short while they were built RHD from factory.🍺👍
