Watching your videos makes me realize that old cars are kinda like Lego. As long as you can find or make the pieces, you are only limited by imagination to make stuff work.

You are the master of the cobble job, the cobble jobs from my youth were much more primitive.

Thanks!

[@snoopysrc]

nice to see your keeping the truck original

[@jjock3239]

I've got a Ford F600 project that needs a new booster, and thanks to what I learned from you, I see a conversion to a Hydroboost in my future.

[@heyallenify]

I like the hydro-boost bracket hack! Real inspiration for those of us who want to get the job done, and not just feed the few custom shops pocketbooks...

[@cmac956]

HI , you always come up with a way to fix your problem I have faith in you .good luck .

Thanks!

Dude I am impressed, you make shit look so easy. I get aggravated and sling stuff. I wish I had your know how.

[@robs4517]

Our 1977 Ford wagon had the hydra boost system. Good luck finding one in a wrecking yard.

[@ianplute7033]

In case it's not obvious, power steering pumps for hydroboost and non hydroboost systems for GM and Jeep are identical it's just the tanks (one return vs two). You can buy a two return tank and toss it on the good pump, don't forget the gasket.

[@StrangeDuder]

T-shirt idea: Low buck garage logo on the back, and "We love mud wasps" on the front. Great video, sweet J-10.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! I like the idea, but I might substitute a different word for "love"...

[@Gmcworrior1]

[@jesusisalive3227]

Use an alternator from a 7.3l powerstroke, the 130 amp model. It's interally regulated and a nice upgrade. The superduty hydroboost is a nice unit also.

[@waltkeyes57]

Caution: These Jeep trucks came with wimpy alternators (mine, a '74) has a 37 amp output. The alternator output wire on these trucks runs to the ammeter in the dash, and then back to the (I believe) starter solenoid. THAT wire is not sized for large output alternators. That's why he mentioned that these trucks have a reputation of catching on fire wiring-wise. All that said, I believe he has bypassed that ammeter wire, so he is good. If you do this yourself just be aware of not overheating that ammeter wire. The generally recognized solution is to indeed bypass that ammeter wire like he did but use the ammeter wire to power a voltmeter that replaces the ammeter in the dash. There are Tube solutions for that out there.

[@deepbludude4697]

LBG, when I worked downrange in the 80s we had some cool work rigs among them was a Air Force blue J10, an M37, A couple crewcab W200's I loved the old Dodge's, but that J10 drove really well had the cursed 360 that the motorpool dude's could never get to run right always starved for fuel, I brought a fuel regulator down for one trip and slapped it on. If you wanna sell that rig id love to cross country it from Az to Ar ive always wanted a 300 straight 6 with a five speed in a FSJ haha. Coollest snap ring pliers ever!

[@LowBuckGarage]

The previous owner told me that he could never get the 360 running right, either. I really didn't want to put that motor back in, I was kind of glad when there were casting flaws in the block and I had to re-power it.

[@keithhill9138]

You are very good at affro engineering!!! I only know of one guy that was comparable to you but he’s in the ground now. He helped me build two Jeeps and a lot of other projects. I am not a ford fan but they made the biggest in line six of anybody.

I've been thinking about doing a video on tools and shop stuff, I'll include that wind turbine in it.

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

Am I crazy that for my Dad's 2014 Ford van I bought actual Motorcraft coolant versus the "Universal" stuff that says it's compatible with Ford? I don't think so, although the price is higher, I know with absolute certainty that there won't be any negative reaction between differing incompatible coolants!

[@spaceghost8995]

You can always use Everclear.

Those dirt dobbers have actually crashed an airplane from filling up the pitotstatic tubes. The had no instruments and crashed at night.

[@larryalexander4833]

Good engineering adapter. Looks like you need new rubber brake hoses.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! Those hoses do look pretty crusty, even worse up close. They were in direct sunlight for a few decades, so I'll be replacing them before I get it on the road...

[@larryalexander4833]

@@LowBuckGarage mainly I was thinking the rubber hoses usually break down inside and clog up and cause the breaks to fail or lockup ,like yours .

[@LowBuckGarage]

@@larryalexander4833 Yeah, I was thinking that, too. After I finished the video, I tried cracking the bleeders. There wasn't any pressure buildup, the lines were flowing freely, and the brakes were still stuck on. I think they stuck because of junk inside the calipers. I'll pull those apart and replace the lines, too. Then it might actually have brakes that work properly!

Mud wasps got into the pitot tube {static air pressure) on my airplane. That means no air speed indication. Had to fly like that for a few weeks until I go it cleared out. Made for more fun on takeoff and landings. Who needs instruments anyway.
