Fixing Up An Old Truck.

[@poshjo5355]

Just a dude fixing his vehicle without any adulterated music or commentary, great job.

[@metaspencer]

You said it

[@american236]

Exactly.

[@SimonCas]

Just beautiful work, absolutely love it. I like my VGG for some funny commentary but man I love this content too

[@jasonmanley5287]

It’s very nice to see someone who doesn’t have a fancy shop taking care of an old Ford. Really great video quality, with no unnecessary fluff.

[@corporaldogmeat2020]

Unless you count the fluff at the end!

[@YungEagle3k]

90% of shops dont work on old cars anymore, 1995 is probably the oldest they will go. This goes for major cities, im sure hick towns still work on old garbage. Whatever you call a fancy shop is beyond me.

[@corporaldogmeat2020]

@@YungEagle3k probably guys who restomod/ bodyshops

[@jasonmanley5287]

I wasn’t referring to professional mechanics. See “shop”, read “building owned by non-mechanic who just happens to have a crapton of money in mechanic’s tools/equipment. But that may be beyond you.

[@Pedroisanickname]

Great cinematography. Thoughtful camera angles. Good cadence and no loud music.

[@sidviscous5959]

I'm cool with some talking, like "thinking out loud," but a lot these YT car channels now are more about comedy and even dance (you know who) routines than they are about cars.

[@mmansour1]

loud music is the number one thing to ruin videos IMO. any music should be quieter than the voices. so often i have to turn the volume way down while the music is blasting, just to not hear the voices when they come in...

[@raynyhus2026]

I just mute and play at 2x speed when the crappy music starts. This video was a breath of fresh air.

If I lived in the rust belt that’s the kind of vehicle I would drive.Buying a new or pristine truck to sacrifice to salty roads is such a waste of money.Mechanically sound and don’t worry about the rest (rust).

[@kurticus91]

Spraying everything with WD-40 cracked me up. I felt that one

[@tylerbaird8199]

Here for the oil bottle farts. Great video! Am I the only one who immediately went to marketplace looking for an old Ford to fix up??

[@gentlemachinist1970]

Literally the first thing I did after watching this video

[@darbsta187]

I love this kind of content. No commentary or music, just a dude working on his truck. My first truck was an '86 F150 that was my dad's for years. Same color as yours down to the red pinstripe down the side. Watching this sure does take me back! I still remember how many times to pump the gas before you crank it without flooding it, using that foot button to turn my brights on and off, and the location of every alamite you have to grease in the frontend. Great vid, man!

[@bacmilsim3587]

This is the type of videos I like to watch, nice work. Makes me want to get an older truck again

[@Lauterec]

There's something super satisfying about doing odds and end maintenance on a neglected vehicle.

[@murphygump1062]

its like rescuing an abandoned puppy and nursing it back to health.

[@DakotaStJohn-jl7jn]

The bowling sound effect when the wrench f-ed off when replacing the transfer case seal killed me lol

Same here, watched that a few times 😂😂

[@anza7595]

I agree!

[@SimonFordman]

[@richarddown8899]

I love fixing up an old car and rescuing it from death. I just struck gold with these videos Thank you

[@terrellboyd7583]

This is educational. They should this schools across America.

[@michaelbrutallyhonest6026]

Those watching who have never done anything like this, probably few, are appalled at the effort and investment in such an old rusted truck. Those of us that have, know the passion and what it takes. Love old Fords, have a '94 I'm doing right now, great video.

[@ronaldlingle8766]

Watching you clean is like deja vu for me..... I have an 85 that I bought from the original owner ,3/4 ton four-wheel drive ..watching you I got to chuckle brought back some good 😊 memories...I wouldn't get rid of mine for love nor money..... Keep up the good work I'll stay up with your channel.

[@SimonFordman]

That’s very cool, thank you for checking out the video.

Giving an old truck some attention. Love to see it. Good job kid 👏

I didn’t know pickle forks could break. I’m loving this rabbit hole you’ve gone down. Nice truck worthy of good work.

[@MrMuskadine]

Amazing video and shots. My dad has an 85 with the Diesel engine that he bought brand new and still uses, so its nice to see these old fords being cared for like this!

[@jhonnySpecail]

this is the kind of video you want to watch when the author doesn't talk for 20 minutes before doing something and immediately gets down to business

[@mainedutchensen]

I just bought a 96 f150 im hoping to restore to near store-bought condition. Simple videos like this help me get there. Hope to see more.

[@mromatic17]

I bought A 1994 4x4 f150 RCSB 5.0 5 speed i'm slowly restoring it back to new. it only had 100k on it when I bought it 2 years ago but I've made a lot of progress on it. she is getting better and one day I will redo the entire body and respray it. I want to 4bt cummins swap it that would be awesome!

[@MarkW126]

Dang it! Now I want an old truck to work on!

[@kevinreimer2213]

Another great video. Jay Leno’s favorite type of car/truck is original and unrestored. You’ve got this nailed.

[@jimihendrix8535]

I have owed 1980, 1982 (Bronco) and 1989 Ford 1/2 ton 4x4 trucks like that one. I always wanted to buy one now and fix it up. I tried to buy one a few years ago from a neighbor but missed out on it. Love those old trucks. Mine all had 300 straight 6 engines with granny low 4 speed manual transmissions (89 was 5 spd). I am an old school fix anything home mechanic so all of this is right up my ally. Love watching it. You must live where it snows a lot with all the rust.

[@SimonFordman]

Indeed, lots of snow, lots of rust. Thanks for watching.

[@greghansen313]

Wow doing all the right things, truck sure is shaping up. That 300 six and drive train on your truck is bulletproof. I have an 84 f250 6.9 I bought new, It still runs great.

[@kennethbottoms1613]

I really like the way you did that, with no sound etc… I’ll bet there’s a lot of men out there (me included) that would just like to do what you did with being bothered by b.s.! I kinda had that in mind when I flew to Nashville from Lubbock and bought a 1970 Ford F-250. Sight unseen, I did some of what you did and drove her back to Lubbock. No radio, no cruise control, just checking out the countryside. Thanks for helping me re-live that!

[@SimonFordman]

That sounds like a lot of fun.

[@LeonardMagnusson]

westport wa.state here yong sir. thanks for dragging this old guy along. have done these kinds of things my self. some in the mud of tacoma. 70s 80s and 90s. most of the time for fun. most of the time! made really good money on mini excavators. moving them broke is the battle.

[@chrishouse5753]

Always fun to get a rickety truck cheep, clean it up, address neglected maintenance issues, make it your own. Just an idea; "invest" (they are cheap) in a set of paint brushes or detailing brushes. Detailing those nooks, corregated wire looms, rough surfaces, etc., is so much easier with them than a Q-tip or a rag.

[@comicrandomness3289]

You can. It just takes time and tantrums. I learned to fix solar systems on my own for work while everyone else was too busy. Learning by trial and error is not the best way to learn but it works if you stick to it. Having someone else, even if they don't know either helps.

38:53 this was a great idea! I never thought about using a hydrollic jack to remove a stiff bolt!

[@Camaron9769]

I'm a sucker for a old Ford..... specifically a 70s model however. I've owned over 15 of them, usually buy them to fix up, then sell them. Bought a 73 f250 4x4 "highboy" last year though from out West and finally decided to keep one, love the old thing. This vid was very satisfying, I bought my dad a 86 f250 last year he's been fixing up for the same amount of time as well.

[@EarthyBlendPOV]

This was great, I’ve got a 1990 no rust, but lots of vacuum hose issues.

[@olikat8]

Got a '76 Plymouth Valiant several years back, up in Washington State, $0 out of pocket. 318, HD suspension, cooling, sure-grip rear end, solid body, interior only needing the driver's seat foam fixed, new carpet, a headliner, and about 86K miles on it. Moved to the SE, the car came along. People have more reaction to that beige sedan than the GT350 in the garage, lol. I enjoy bringing them back to a resto-mod level. Not "Custom," no $30K paint jobs, custom interiors, $8K stereos... I do upgrade brakes, suspension, chassis stiffening, steering and wheels/tires (5" wide, 14" diameter rims are garbage), but I don't need Wilwood brakes ($4K), QA-1 suspension ($11K), 20+" rims & Michelin Sport Cup tires. The car today? I have about $12K in it. Mechanically new, better than factory. Makes more power, burns cleaner and pulls better gas mileage. Stops, steers and handles better than an A38 (police package) Dart/Valiant. Electrical system better than factory. Stock radio retrofitted to digital, AM/FM with BlueTooth, 4-speaker hook up, amp hook up and a USB port. Cheap to insure, goes up in value, and not afraid to let my Cattle Dog ride shotgun. 4-speed manual (with overdrive), hardly no one can drive it. Not to mention I know the car back-to-front, top-to-bottom, and repairs are far cheaper than a modern vehicle -not to mention I can do them.

[@SimonFordman]

Sounds like a sweet ride. I'm right there with you. I love the cheaper classics with a few upgrades to help it keep up on today's roads and still has all the character that comes with age and the era.
