One thing for sure... Kevin is one hell of a good guy. Serves his country, makes killer revival videos, has the one and only Mook- and he helps the up and coming young KZbinrs get into the game. What a guy!!! Thank you for your service Kev.

Ditto

[@rclip213]

Agreed

[@BobDingleful]

Angus presents very well, I like his semi-seriousness and how he focuses on the tasks. Just the right amount of personality for someone the audience is getting to know. I could watch more of him work on trucks.

[@roycole4619]

considering the service truck my dad used to use had a bracket on it almost identical to that it would be a welder generator or a air compresser

[@rawr51919]

@The Metalshop Might be able to throw a cooler on that too! Good for a road trip or three while sitting in the box

[@ogre350]

That looks close to the size that Derek built for beets before he sold it

I think it was for a tool box. Lotsa places sold cross bed boxes, but few people realized how handy a side box was. A big ammo box was a great asset to bolt to your truck.

[@tanyadoyle1670]

Much respect for returning the dog tags, awesome video as always. Keep em coming.

[@otakop67]

Previous owner must have been a pilot. The sticker on that visor referenced VFR and IFR which stand for Visual Flight Rules and Instrument Flight Rules. VFR is for inexperienced pilots in fair weather only where you can see where you're going. IFR is for experienced pilots in low or no visibility weather where you rely on the instrumentation instead of the windows. Also, Wechem, from what I've been told, is discontinuing the standard D-Germ (it is no longer listed on their website). It looks like they will only be selling the botanical formula of D-Germ and Menards as their remaining stock on closeout.

[@varrunningtrains4112]

"I bet we can make it in 3" "Minutes?" "No, hours" Damn Jessie is the best lol

[@tekvax01]

You two boys are a class act! Thank you for returning those tags to that fellow, and thank you Kevin for your service!

Love this truck. What a great deal! Definitely keep us up to date on its progress. Can't wait to see what you do for exhaust.

[@somerandomguy3868]

Angus has a good truck there, some exhaust and vacuum leaks work and fix the carburetor so you can drive it in reasonable manor and nice job guys

[@rickilee961]

My God when he turned the headlights on and it was running it remind me of a truck version of Christine.. 😂😂

The support was probably used as a mini toolbox, Not sure. pretty weird.

[@carswithed2946]

I know the feeling of dairying an old Ute only difference is that it never sat for more than 6 months. Pretty cool that it has been maintained for 40 years straight (it’s an 81 f100) out of pure necessity. It was our only Ute capable of doing heavy hauling until 2015 when it was finally replaced by a v8 land cruiser. It’s still used as a heavy hauler and general tractor around the farm.

[@terryerickson4786]

The rack is for a fish aquarium. To hold your bait when you go fishing 😜

[@jackharrison4327]

a guy needs a 5 gallon aquarium holder for his minners

[@the1andonly]

So glad I've discovered your channel. My 1997 F150 was stolen over a year ago and I haven't replaced it yet. Now I'll be looking for a simple old 2 wheel drive truck with an 8' bed. Your videos really help me get in the mood. Those older truck are so easy to fix, compared to the new ones. Finding one is getting hard though, especially in Alberta, Canada.

[@djsonic6533]

You can't kill those trucks easily. Proof is in the video that she wasn't done yet, she wanted to continue living. Thanks guys for the best revival videos!!

[@makaylaslater5247]

That is a clean truck. The one thing I'm surprised that wasnt in the tool box was bottles of lead substitute. Without lead substitute the non hardened valve seats wont last.

[@avastyeescurvydogs]

[@affordablevs]

Great to see it done.. defo need to sort the exhaust, that could become headache material after a few trips. Be good to do an update video in a couple.of months. Great job guys, keep them coming!

It's just good to see Mook in the video. Her silliness is missed in alot of your latest.

[@Terminxman]

Those tyres just gave the old girl the proper stance. So pleased it's going to be Angus' daily and continue its story.

[@kensherwood4866]

Great work, loving Angus he needs his own channel, a real entertainer. Your shop must be warm one minute out in the snow next minute it's t-shirt time. Ford looking great a real good score and worth saving. Hopefully we'll see it when the exhaust is fixed

[@WeaselBurrito]

The rack was for a hose reel. The old girl was a fire truck of sorts at a small airport (radio, holes in the grille for flashers, red/white two tone paint and the VFR/IFR stuff on the visor)

[@tekvax01]

hmmmm!!! Good answer! you might be right sir!

[@mickeythompson1562]

I think the frame was for #1-toolbox #2-ice-chest. Love that old truck! I own four slicks. I have a red 64 F350 flatbed with the 292 Y-block. A 65 f100 and 2-66 F100's. Some stacks in the bed of your truck would be cool. Would have to slide the toolbox back a little

[@Fireguy97]

@12:50 Has anybody told Angus that that tool is an impact driver? That head should also be removable for use with a 3/8" drive socket. Beautiful truck and great series by the way. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure if anyone has said it below, but I wonder if the brake lights in the back have single filament bulbs and require dual filament, that may be why they wouldn't light when you had the headlights on. Great video once again, keep the revivals coming!

Like so many others it’s a toolbox stand. My uncle back years ago did something very similar. Super handy to have.

Yeah, as soon as you put a screwdriver or a file into the truck box, it goes to far far away places. Having the small box right there would keep things in reach.

[@mromatic17]

[@Ogsonofgroo]

What a fun adventure, thank you guys so much, really made my week, though it made me miss hanging out with my own mates, but what-ever, so good in my rusty heart to see people finding and resurrecting such classics, it is seriously 'waste not, want not'. For all the energy to produce one truck today, you could maintain a dozen such beauties. My opinion an' sticking to it :)

[@claztube]

You got that right, I'm on board with this sentiment!

[@trybriguy1357]

Just goes to show you how well cars and trucks were built back in the day, Seems like this one was taken care of very well. Just one great truck. I remember them being very mechanical, like trying to get into 3rd gear, not too much room between 2nd and 3rd, LOL, Great job guys, nice to see these vehicles not go to the crushing yards and get saved, no need for that, when you can use a little elbow grease and keep them going. Loved this video, keep em coming!!!

[@paulhyde1834]

It's an 'impact driver' we used these before they made electric ones! they were fairly cheap and effective. I've had one in my tool box since about the year this truck was made!!!

[@wirecruise]

The side metal frame was most likely for a tool box with access from the exterior side. Also, the label that was on the sun visor had in bold letters VFR or IFR, each meaning Visual Flight Rules and Instrument Flight Rules, both are aeronautical terms. The sun visors may have been borrowed from a Cessna or other small aircraft.
