That first van is caused by crack/meth

[@scottallen4854]

The main way to tell an F350 2wd from an F250 2wd is the spare tire location. F250 had a 133" wheelbase with the spare under the bed and the F350 had a 140" wheelbase with the spare in the passenger bedside.

[@mountainofeverest3861]

Craig the stock ratio for 87 to 93 5.0 mustangs w/ 5 spd was 3.08.. Should be alot of drag racers w those old take outs on the shelf.

[@roudydog3063]

Nice to see young guys still doing what I've done most of my life Love the older stuff 👍😁

[@6bt_str86]

Gotta love how you guys out west have that dry climate rust free and rare birds still setting in yards , most of FL you'll never see either or any of that. I could watch hrs of junk yard trolling, ESP out west. 🤘

[@justinphillips6136]

Haha telling the other truck what it identifies as.. such little humor/ sarcasm. Love the videos brother keep it up👍🏼

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

The more videos the better , so yeah, get on it lol. Just bought a 73 F-350 Service truck I'm picking up tomorrow... truck has been in garage since the 80's and is near perfect... super stoked about bringing her home.

[@OffTheJacks]

Love junkyards, the turbo is a great find. Kinda like cement to work on instead of dirt and mud. Thanks for the tour!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I've been at the boneyard 6 days this past month, to do 3 things: Get another carrier and pinion setup, get another block, and another rotating assembly for my '92 Ranger. The carrier and pinion is to put 3.55 rear gears back into a Ford 8.8. The block is a 2.3l Lima 4-cylinder that I'm in the process of building, as I'm putting a rotating assembly from a '98-'01 2.5l into the '94 block. Once that is successful, then I'm going to be changing the MAF sensor to be bigger (read more air flow), and both the fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator, to go from the stock 40 psi, to the '98-'01 60 psi. With these changes, I'm estimating a power increase from the stock 100 horses to 150 horses. It may not seem like much, but my little Serenity (that be her name) needs all the help she can get. After that, then I'm moving on to deal with a metric butt-ton of body rust -- which will probably mean looking for a better cab and box. After that, looking to paint the truck a dark Navy Blue on the bottom, a red stripe on the body line, and either a Gun-Metal Gray, or a Dark Silver on the top of the body. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's been out in the yard this year, lol.

In high school my friends & I spent many hours a week in our local & neighboring towns junkyards ! It was great we had maybe 10 junkyards within a 30 mile radius 😆 If we knew back then what we know now we would've taken every 60's- 70's muscle car molding,trim pieces and emblems $$$$$ Back then those places were still loaded with Camaro's SS & Z28'S ,Chevelle SS,GTO'S,you name it....talk about junk yard gold 😉 Part of the junkyard experience is knowing what you are looking at.... and you guys have that covered in spades ! Great video... thank you for the trip back in time.... even though the cars and trucks may have changed the experience of the hunt is still there ! Good luck and have some fun.... my junkyard hunting brothers ✌😎

[@vintagetintrader1062]

More exciting than a Aussie Junkyard, ours are full of Jap/Euro/Korean cars, dead GMH Commodores with blown V6s and Ford Falcons with the Barra in-line 6 with the body that has falling apart around it. We did get the Ford Explorer in the 90s, I actually used the 3.73 diff from one in a 1967 Mustang (1000s of used 65 to 70 mustangs have been imported here in the last 30 years)

[@PaganWizard]

Quarantine cruise YES!!!!!! JYD's (junk yard digs) YES!!!!!! I was surprised that you didn't take the bumper when you grabbed the grill, and was REALLY surprised you didn't grab that Garrett turbski. I hope you can get back there to grab it before someone else does.

[@elm7666]

Wow, the original Ecology in Chula Vista. The first time I went to that yard was in 1981. Me and my friends have scored a lot of rare parts from that yard but left SD years ago. The hill looks the same but the cars are a lot different! I scored two hood scoops from a 70 340 dart my first trip there. One guy scored a 69 428 CJ for 150 bucks there. Thanks for the memory flashback!

[@reallyjustrandom1230]

Love the way that Pick sounds! I don't know much about cars but I love your videos.

[@donnatalielucasheimbigner7598]

Great find on the Ford. Can't believe it had a good grille & tailgate. Those were hard to find in the mid '80s. The 400 can easily be turned into a torque monster.

[@joeboxer3365]

guys I walk through junkyards and lots of time, something a shame to be crushed is there, there is a guy up around alberta, who saves 40s, 50s, 60s cars from the crusher, he bought 3 kaisers and a frazier, so to have parts, at metal costs, he finished the frazier's interior got all mechanicals fixed and road recertified, he has saved many unknown classics from the crusher and got some of them running after arrival, others sit and wait, and my fave is the 59 biscayne he got as daily driver round the yard, the man is renaissance in body, engine, electrical, Coldwarmotors

[@CrawlSD]

I was just there last week and today, saw that engine and wondered why it was there. There is another at the east lot too! Laughed about that weird van too!

[@cityslicker5981]

[@OtisENGINEuity]

It wouldn't split your block unless you put it up over 600hp without adding any of the braces they make for a 302. If you ran it turboed at 450 you'd be fine.. but at that point, why not just run a big block or a Cleveland? (or that 351/400M you found.. same thing) You know, the oddest part about everyone saying that that happens is that there's not one video or article about it anywhere showing that it actually happens.

[@ozneroll2132]

Nothing more satisfying than finding that part you're looking for (in good condition).

I dont know if this helps but I have a junk yard kit that goes with me every time I go. A set of screw drivers and a mix of vise grips from big ones all the way down to the needle nose. I can get just about any part I need with just a few tools. If I am going foe bigger parts I have a nice socket set that will also go with me. Awesome video

[@kevind3185]

you guys are so lucky you have rust free stuff to work with here in Michigan everything's rusted

[@danfarris135]

Don’t know why but I grin every time I see a chrome bumper with the tell tale upward bend from a chain hook end where some one tried to pull with the bumper and not the frame.

[@brianmaynard7320]

Great VID!! Used to love going too the junk yard.. The ones around here won't let you go in... Sucks... I mean God forbid you see how it comes off or goes together with the other parts around it

[@raythackston1960]

I saw the blinker housing and lens for that grill in the bed. Never leave a great part...might be useful. All the small detail pieces that you left behind that would be a treasure for the person looking for them.

[@roostercogburn7243]

There use to be a whole bunch of F100 trucks at Pick and Pull here in Central California. When steel was really high they were chopping them up and sending it overseas.

Heads up to all my Ford boys. Early to mid 90s Cougars/Thunderbirds, and V6 Sn95 Mustangs have a 3g alternator that bolts right in place of an earlier, 60s 1g Ford alternator. Internally regulated, like 160A vs 40A, perfect easy upgrade. Edit: specifically 1994-1997 Cougar/Thunderbirds, and 1994-2000 V6 Mustangs.

I actually found a grille shell for my 1976 F-150 Supercab in a junkyard in Wisconsin. It is in incredible condition. I couldn't believe it was still on the truck. Paid $25.00 for it!

[@philofab]

I needed a pair of headlight brackets for my 74 and it took forever to find them. Luckily the junkyards here in AZ are full of Dentsides.

My dad had a 1977 Fleetwood. That car was the best car for comfort made in the '70's. That car would do a burnout for as long as you wanted. I think it had a 400 or 454. Who cares what was in it, it was a runner!

[@rangerbill9536]

@@davidblack5053 you aren't shitting. All the times my auto pilot went out was pretty brutal. Trying to steer with no power steering belt was insane. I would run Camaro's, Mustang, Roadrunner's.

I can tell you the was no room left under thr hood.

[@dwitcraft]

You can check Ford boards and find lists of diff ratio codes. It's on the bottom of the door sticker I think Explorer/Ranger 90s are D4 for 3.73 and D5 for 4.10(letter plus number means Trac Loc diff). Sorry, you won't find any 3.08s in Ranger/Explorers. Probably Mustand or Crown Vic to get those gears. Some stripper Ranger or Explorer1s have 3.55 ratio(46 code, no Trac Loc)

[@noahgaray7923]

400s are good motors. Slap on an eddy 4bbl intake and carb, headers, and a straight up timing set up and you’re already good to go.

[@600lwp]

You didn't seem impressed by the Ford Courier, I had a new 77 model, burnt valves 5 times during 12,00 mile warranty. when it went out of warrant I changed out the intake and exhaust because Ford adapted the Mazda carbs and tiny exhaust to the 2.3. After that I put over 200,00 miles on it. After that I adapted a 71 351 cleveland into it with a 4-sp. looked stock but was one hell of a sleeper

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

Sold my 64 galaxie xl500 fast back a few years ago. Wish I had never sold it. I miss that car got a ton of money for it but not worth it on how I have felt since. Mines was maroon with black interior all original al I pulled it out of a buddy's garage with under 90k miles. Wish I could post pictures of it for you to check out. It even had the hard to find tissue dispenser lol.

Good parts truck. But 2 things. 1: no such thing a s a 400m. It's a 400. The little brother to it was the 351m. 2: it's a heavy 250 probably camper special. The f350 with a pickup bed only came in 2 versions. A 2wd 140" wheelbase and a 4x4 79. Ps the bumper on it was a 78/9. 77 back was more rounded.
