Water in a cylinder or two I would say. That really rusty plug says it all. The air cleaner lid on those trucks is a perfect funnel for water down the carb. A friend of mine has the exact same truck with the same problem at the moment and we have the cylinders soaking in Marvel oil and Seafoam in hopes to break it loose. There is a rubber seal between the hood and cowl that leaks the water right on top of the air cleaner lid and right down the carb stud in the engine. We drained about 3 gallons of water out of the oil pan after pulling the plugs and finding two cylinders right full to the top. Put a Cummins in it and be done with it. Those old 370 and 429 gassers will empty your wallet feeding them, especially running PTO all day for hydraulics.

Try putting some diesel down the bores, friend did that on an engine that was siezed soild, left it for a day or two and it cranked free. Worth a shot for minimal cost, and if it cranks after that, it might crank over and fire up, though will smoke like hell for a bit.

I bet you could get it running with just a little time. Pull the heads and see if it’s seized or not. The crane alone is worth 3 times what you payed for it. If you got it going you’d use it move than than you think. Cranes beat the shit out of front end loads, forklifts, and your back for picks.

As someone who did that swap back like 30 years ago, there is some kind of pain in the butt involving the air compressor going on the 460. I can't remember what exactly but it ate up a lot of time. I ended up wishing I had fixed the 429.

I think I remember now the crank snout on the commercial truck engine was different, so was the balancer, and the timing cover. It turned the belt drive for the air compressor into a project. Some thing else was a project too. I think the oil lines for the compressor or the mounting, maybe both. Those trucks aren't worth doing any kind of swap in anyway. Best to just fix what's there. You never put enough miles on them to make a diesel swap pay off. Anybody who is going to put out the money to insure a boom truck, and get the crane certification, isn't going to use an old truck/crane like that. That's like something you use around your own shop and yard

Everything is there I've looked at the "bee lifts" like the guy uses in "Canadian Beekeepers Blog" and they cost around $30k. That's just the lift.

Stag Man Stag Man I know it’ll lift quite a bit I’ve lifted and set on the ground packs of 30 trusses that are 50ft long but I mean the reach for like houses when ur at max boom at 20 degrees angle packs of trusses of 15 30ft get really heavy and the boom won’t come back up unless you lower them and boom up at the same time kinda like letting them fall for a few seconds while you boom up and if you aren’t careful you can very easily flip over that’s why I say they are under powered. Never used a hiab truck I’ve always wanted to try it out I’ve only used 20t and 22t 80ft fixed cab cranes and a 45t 125ft swing cab to set prefabricated walls

Go down to the docks and load ships with equipment and supplies, rent a small barge and park in the center for underwater boat and equipment salvage. A crane can be a huge money maker. The last crane I hired was $1,500 an hour, just to lift 1,800 pound AC units to a 32 foot high roof.

Thanks for the fascinating story! I learned a lot. Keep it up. Regular old brake fluid is the best bolt buster for the money. You need to put 8 quarts of brake fluid into the engine crankcase and let it set 24 hours. A 36" chain type pipe wrench will grip the outside of the crank pulley and give you the ability to reverse the rotation. That spark plug with the white crap looks like there is a blown head gasket letting coolant into the cylinder. An engine with the plugs left out indicates to me that it failed a compression test and was left to be overhauled or scrapped. The truck as scrap metal is worth $700 if you can get it to the recyclers.

keep it. it makes good content. unfortunately it doesn't fit in any of your buildings, so you would need to set up a tent to pull the motor. still could be some good content. Id watch it.

you can get a long block 460 for 2500$ swap tht in and put a new carb/intake and call it good it should have the same bellhousing, reason the oil is empty is cause they pulled the pan off, found it had a busted connecting rod, sealed it back up and dragged it off. 429 is a 385 series motor so its not hard to find parts for

We’ve got a f700 garbage truck with one of those 370s in it. Easiest stick I have ever driven. Had some issues with running, but that was nothing a little adjustable choke in the cab couldn’t fix. Truck is a 1988, but only has 30,000 on it due to being a local garbage hauler, like less then 4 miles once every other week. Lots of idle time though.

I agree with the guys who say to swap the engine out for a Diesel, or at least a good gas engine, a 460 should bolt right up. Love that body-style and grille, I know you are more interested in the practical utility of a truck, but I'd build the chassis toward a 4-wheel drive set up and some 66" monster-truck tires.

problem with a diesel swap is that your rear end gearing will be too low as the gassers spin much faster

yup classics right we had a 1960's era rig with a similar crane on a 1963 M700 with a 312 Y block, unless it was really dark we had to "tow" it to job sites, it's amazing how much you can pull with 1/4" nylon rope (;
