I am so glad you got Luke in on this! He definitely brings comedy into your videos.

[@Fordman7575]

The gm alternator on the Ford right there is the problem!:D That and the fuel leaking all over the place. They needed the blocks in the springs because they swapped in the Lincoln 460 and added the plow. That transfercase is a full time 4wd NP203. The NP203 has the range box in front of the case. So either someone converted the hubs to lock out style or they swapped the whole front axle assembly out for one from a part time 4x4 D44. Feel free to send the 300 my way! They are my favorite engine and I've got a small hoard of the 240/300's.

[@a105-t5m]

I figured the 300 was the original and that heavier 460 swap with the plow was a spring killer for sure. Jealous of your big six flock.

[@beetleboy7216]

Nah it’s the ford motor attached to the gym starter that’s the problem

[@robr2529]

Wood stick is a tire knocker. Semi drivers bang on their tires with it to make sure they're good during pre-trip. Also serves other purposes like self defense...

[@NVzla]

All my trucker uncles had a custom "mini bat", leather- wrapped grip and all. It was for "tires", but we all know it was hardwood, and inflicted self-defense very well.

50:39 The local guy I took my 1979 F259 with a 460 to in order to get it running (after sitting for 11 years) said he put a 1969 timing chain in it so it made better fuel mileage and more power. I can say, as a kid fresh outta high school, that truck made plenty of power for me to have plenty of fun. He also plugged the emissions stuff on the engine, as it was a California model and had a Catalytic converter on it (apparently the first year those were put on the old Ford truck, but ONLY for the California model in 1979 from what I’ve heard). As it say for over a decade, I just cut the catalytic converters and muffler off, right behind the cab, and ran it like that. Outrageously loud and fun for an 18 year old. Still have the ol’ girl, just need the money to rebuild the engine a couple other minor things.

It's been my experience the except for the timing chain, you can't wear a 460 out unless you run it out of oil. I rebuilt a 460 with 190,000 miles on it and it only had 3 thousandth lip at the top of the cylinders. And just to let you know I've been a mechanic for 50 years.

That inline 6 probably is the original engine, they said that the 460 in it now is a car engine and not a truck one. The 300 i6 was the base option on this model truck. It probably blew up, so they put a 460 in.

[@bryanphillips1432]

Yes starters and gears need to match tooth count because of spacing between the ridge and valley of the tooth pattern. The main reason there are so many is for diferent gear reductions to turn the motor easier depending on what it is, compression ratio over square under square targeted cranking amps and size of the starter that you can fit are a few things to be considered.

[@chasebh89]

"one guys having a seizure, the other guys having a stroke. Ford" after working on fords recently i agree *edit : quick note - the early 460s (70-74) had nylon cam gear teeth that people swapped out to prevent them to break. they started out at like 10:1 compression ratio but then slowly dropped over the years and got smaller carbs and more emissions tubing becuz smog. check the heads on that motor behind the exhaust manifold for D0VE/D3VE/D1VE stamps

[@aaronshall9258]

The truck looked like it had a stroke, droopy left headlight!

[@bubbadw60]

They're D3VE heads. Sadly the engine tag was damaged and I couldnt get much info off it. Betting it's a maximum smogger machine.

@@bubbadw60 ok, that puts it at around 1973, a 8.5:1 compression ratio, and she's squeezing out 212hp and 340ftlb (*factory*). So basically a boat anchor that makes noise 👍 Hope this helps at least a little

[@bubbadw60]

@@chasebh89 that's about what I was estimating it at. The d4 tag on the carb leads me to believe the engine is from a 74-76 Lincoln or Thunderbird.

[@gosportjamie]

That's exactly what Ford did on the Essex V6 in the UK, used in Capris, Zephyrs, Zodiacs, Consuls and Granadas, as well as Transits, if you were mad enough or an emergency service. The nylon cam gears were a nightmare as, once they got to a certain age, the heat cycles would make them go hard and brittle and they'd lose the teeth of them, which would often ruin the engine as pistons would meet valves and all sorts of carnage would occur. Steel gears were a bit noisier, but didn't break, and you can now get replacement cam gears that are made to be quiet and last a long time. Back then, however, material technology wasn't up to the job...
