I Bought a FLOODED F150! First Start and Revival!

Junkyard Mook shirts: www.junkyarddi...
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 :)

[@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.

[@jameshall2017]

@@alan6832 depending on the transmission they may not have to. I could be wrong but fords 4.9 300 inline 6 could possibly bolt up to it. If not then they would probably need an adapter plate

[@wesoblander3648]

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.

[@tstryker03]

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.

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.)

I luv that truck. Reminds me...I need to work on my 1976 F150(460). But Ca says no. Not smog compliant!!!

Mook, you're a really cool person. I'm glad that your channel is doing so well. A half a million views on such a young channel is awesome. Keep up the good work and I will keep watching. Good job.

[@kevinAuman1]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume the rear-end is also chock full of water may want to flush and fill that with fresh stuff

[@89ludeawakening1]

@Diving Duck a shattered planetary gear begs to differ. It can cause very rapid and complete chaos. Lol

[@TheSoloAsylum]

You don't even need that. Just keep the water full...

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

You need to change the transmission fluid and differential fluid asap. The transmission will probably need changed 2-3 times.

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

Also the power steering fluid

You guys are so awesome! Keep making videos. So glad Mook has a channel, too!

[@gpowerdragon9852]

the best engine flush is actually a bit of diesel and some oil

[@rayskins1]

That’s a good old go-to for me

[@markk3652]

Yep, 1 gallon of diesel fuel, and 1 qt of oil will scour the sludge out of that engine. Let it idle till it's hot, then let her puke out all the crap that came loose.

[@stevefoley4073]

Yes. Flushing a sump with petrol is a terrible idea.

[@busnorth]

For me it's 4quarts oil one or 2 diesel changed 3 times.

You should acclimate yourself with the q-jet more. They are actually real good carbs.

[@Wesleystewart78]

They are only a good carb if you know how to dial them in which is a pain in the ass but once done they will outperform almost anything else

[@oldschoolbudgetracing1458]

@@Wesleystewart78 they are not that difficult really. But yet they work awesome when set up correctly. And will generally out perform most other carbs in a street application. But like anything else they are only great to a point.

[@ronaldarchibald2506]

Great carb if dialed in. That kick down 4 barrel sound is impressive.

[@Wesleystewart78]

Ik they are all I run on my SBC's

[@dale116dot7]

old school budget racing My day job is designing fuel injection systems and I agree with that. The Q-jet is my favourite carb, if I have to use a carb. I found them really easy to tune, as long as it’s not warped.
