I Bought a FLOODED F150! First Start and Revival!

Junkyard Mook shirts: www.junkyarddigs.com/shop/jun...
Alright, Monsters, you are in for a treat. In this video I bought a 1978 F150 that we didn't realize it was flooded. Witness the chaos and struggles the first few weeks of owning this truck brought.
I realize my truck has square headlights but it IS a 1978.

From 1973 to 1982 I worked at the Ford Motor factory in San Jose CA. In the "commercial" end of the plant we built the F1-2-3 pickup trucks 25 per hour 2 shifts 6 days. We shipped them everywhere. The F150 Explorers were gorgeous trucks & Jade green is the color here. We used to wonder where all of the trucks were going as we made them day after day after day. In the factory they were brand new pieces of art with their 6 cylinders, 302, 351, 360, 390 & 460 engines. 2 wheel drives, 4x4 in standard & automatic. It saddens me to see while this unit is a survivor that it ended up as it did. Speaking in behalf of the thousands of workers at the plant we took a lot of pride making those trucks. I really hope that you get this unit running & back to life again. Mook is really cool & wish her the best. PS my name is Gary. Cheers!

@@Didnt_ask69 no, respect to her on taking up a hobby that is labour intensive and dirty. Most women wouldn't even go near a truck like that because it isn't a shiny Mercedes, let alone put their time and effort into trying to get it in working order. Working on cars is a task that is predominantly taken interest by men, I'm sorry if that is too offensive for your little heart to handle but it's true. To see more women getting into this kind of thing is awesome and that's exactly what the original comment is trying to say too, so stop trying to put a sexist spin on everything zoomer :)

I had a 78 and when you pop the hood you always have to give her a little tap on the top to get her to pop. The door replacement panels are crazy expensive to buy new so I went to all the local junk yards and bought all the unbroken ones I could find. I had sets of black, tan, red, green and blue. I also had a kick ass head liner with 4.5" round speakers in the cab corners. Those trucks with the split rear window are a leaking rust nightmare. All the split window trucks will start rusting the cab below the window. I replaced the holes in the floor with speed limit signs and other old street and then laid new carpet over the top. If you go with the 302 make sure you get the right fly wheel because some of them are different on the 302 depending on year and the wrong one will cause horrific shaking and vibrations.

[@dockmasterted]

My friends, the first thing you should have done after you found that much water in the oil pan, was to find out where it came from. ….. from what I have seen, you should have filled the radiator with as much water as it would take.... then wait 15 min. and check it again. If it is lowered add more water, and wait 15 min. And then look to see if it comes out the oil pan. (you may have a crack inside the engine block and the water is coming from the radiator.)

[@ComboverChris]

i agree. i dont think it was a flood vehicle as there are not any water lines inside that i could see. most likely a coolant leak into the oil.

[@howardkoster4026]

Fords are supposed to use Motorcraft parts, not, watercraft parts.

[@alan6832]

It's "very green"??? Literally I suppose, plus reusing old things is green, but the engine is too big and heavy, which reduces traction without 4wd as well as mileage, and of course poor traction requires paving or graveling roads. Some of these trucks had inline 6's, which were very efficient, and I would even call a 302 green, but with this engine it is only slightly greenish, only because it is reused, the second R. not part of the throwaway society.

[@alan6832]

Did they check transmission for water and fluid quality and quantity?

[@alan6832]

The ideal engines for this truck are as light as possible to maximize 2wd traction and mileage, so I would use 200 inline 6 or 3.0v6, though it is not worth removing good engine or matching trans and bellhousing. some people like big engines, so if you can make it go, then fix and sell. I'm also not completely satisfied that the carbs were hopeless.

The 300 CID worked well in many Ford trucks and vans of that era. A very solid engine, though a 351w, as Kevin suggested in the video would work as well. Otherwise, if I were Mook, I would drive as is with a new set of plugs, a rebuilt carb and a cleaned fuel tank.

I absolutely love this truck it’s everything I’m looking for !!

I’ve got a 79 f150 custom 4x4 and I had to do the same thing because of flooding. I drained 6 gallons of water out before any oil came out. I do have it running and drivable but there’s so much I still need to do to make it look and feel good to me. - a 19 year old South Carolinian!

The timings off, we don't have a couple of cylinders, and she's been flooded and is pooping all over the floor..Mook 'so your telling me there's a chance she'll be fine.'

It sounds like it's to far advanced

Gotta love that attitude

@Equillizer Armtwister I think he was kidding. Like when in "Dumb & Dumber", Jim Carrey says, "So you're telling me there's a chance."

Sweet ride...and a great couple. Hope they both last a lifetime

[@rickc303]

And cool truck too 😆

[@mikehubbard5493]

GOSH, those are great trucks. I had a 77 many years ago. They ride like a Cadillac. I loved mine.

[@Roadstar1602]

That truck is a beast to go through what it's been through and ever run again.

I love “everything is going good, there’s just a little fire”.

Mook's a barrel of laugh's. Looking forward to seeing what you all do with this truck.

[@jessicacallahan9711]

Very cool 😎 truck! Fun to watch and learn from people that don’t take it to seriously and are enjoying the experience. Every time I work on my vehicles it usually needs to be fixed that day and the stress makes it no fun , this looks fun !

[@TheGadget14]

Awesome truck. My dad had one just like this growing up.
