Dude, quit being so hard on yourself. We don’t watch your channel for hassle free revivals, we watch because you and mook because you manage to relate to all of us. You should be proud for all of your accomplishments. Debt free out of college, successful business, friends who seem to like you. This is probably my favorite channel. Nothing against the others, you just strike the balance of not taking yourself too seriously, and showing that everything goes to plan. It makes my day when I see that new content has dropped. Thanks for your service, thanks for being real. And thanks for not forgetting how to laugh.

Im working on a 1965 F100 that has been sitting for 17 years after the PO drove it from Texas to AZ, parked it, started to work on it then passed away shortly after moving to AZ. Same sort of setup 300 inline 6 with 3 on the tree. Got mine running but not driving yet, still have a bit of work to do on it to make it road worthy but on a shoe string budget its really really slow going.

That fuel pump with the integral filter... I just replaced the one on my 1977 F150. Got it from NAPA. The one you have looks like it is rebuildable!!! It looks like you can replace the pump diaphragm!!! Mine is crimped. My old 1968 Cougar with a 289/302 had that style pump too, but when it died, I replaced it with a non-filter pump. Shame that contour rear bumper is bent. 240? My '77 has a 1968 240 that someone swapped in. A screwdriver through the sparkplug hole resulted in closer to three inches of stroke. 300 will stroke closer to four inches. This channel kicks ass, and approaches Watch Wes Work levels of intellect!!

All of the F150's that my grandfather owned over the years while I was growing up all had the 300 inline-6 in them. Except for the current truck which has the 4.2 v6 in it. Which is probably based off the Triton and is probably a bad motor. But I don't think there's any Triton badges on the truck so it might not be. :)

First of all. Thank You for your service. I pretty much followed the same path you took, as far as Military service and college degree from an accredited School. My MOS was 63B/52D Light Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic/ Power Gen Equipment repair. You were probably still in grade school when I went through it, and I doubt It's changed much since then. My education was completely paid for from the Army, and it makes a huge difference when starting out. Our Veteran status certainly opens a lot of doors!

Love to see an episode on “is it worth it???” Battery, spark plugs & wires, brakes, possible fuel line, distributor, alternator, or starter, TIRES. Fluids. $1000 + 10 or 20 hours of labor all for these rust buckets that aren’t worth a whole heck of a lot. Money wise you’ be better off as a mechanic charging $80 an hour. That of course is a cold valuation and doesn’t factor in it being emotionally rewarding or cool. Love to hear you chat about it.

amazing to believe a helicopter designed and built in the 50's would still be being built today to almost the exact same design and specs despite the decades of advancements in technology a true testament to a awesome design. Shame the early models suffered from Transmission issues whereby they couldn't handle the full power of the gas turbine engines.

Been watching your content for a couple of years I guess, and have always enjoyed it. I do like that you are including more "training, and knowledge" in your content, and I respect your attitude about career paths and hard work. The knowledge segment you did a while back in the motor home was excellent too as was the info provided on this segment. You're an industrious guy, and I too - many years ago, graduated with a degree in Industrial Technology. Thank you for your military service, and for providing something good, educational, and entertaining to watch here on youtube.

That was invaluable career advice. I wasted a year on a program once for a useless diploma. Got dooped. I was struggling and I just did a lot of night school as a single parent. 10 years later got myself to associate degrees in my two fields of hvac and photography. Own a house. Own a car. AND STILL PAYING THAT WORTHLESS DIPLOMA LOAN BACK. At 50mo because fuck them. Oh and did I mention I also now own a 1965 Ford Custom 2dr coupe with a 240 i6 engine and c4 cruise o matic transmission. That's BEAUTIFUL inside and out. I'd hate for someone to learn the hard way like I did. Good job keep pushing that life advice.

Awesome plug for the military! I was in the Air Force for a little over 2 years (until I developed a heart murmur) But it was the best decision ever. I had no direction coming out of high school. The service not only gave me valuable electronics training, but also taught me self discipline, a fantastic work ethic and so much more.

I originally went to college 10 years ago for Electronics Engineering (communications tech specialization), and realized by the end of first year I had no clue what I wanted to do with that. My dad fixed TVs and other appliances/electronics for a few decades in his own shop, so I just kinda tried for that without a clue. After floating around aimlessly, I bought my first car and like everything else I had to learn how to fix it myself. Now I'm in second year Automotive Technology and working in a garage, happy as a pig in shit.
