Forgotten for 20 years! 1968 Ford F100! Will It Run?!?

A viewer reached out and said they had some abandoned vehicles for sale. One of them was this 1968 Ford F100 in Rangoon Red! He said it was on the property when he bought it and didn't know much about it other than it was running when it was parked. Lets see if we can get it running and driving after a 20 year slumber! This truck has been SOLD!!! As always, thanks for watching!

Puddin always lubricates the cylinders, which is why he's a better content creator and a better man than Mortske.

[@MortskeRepair]

And what exactly happens when you don't lubricate the cylinders? I guess I have yet to have any issues?

[@applefordguy76]

Or, maybe you just enjoy Puddin's shirtless pressure washing 🤨😆

[@Foontflaky]

HEY EVERYBODY, There`s a "Lubricator" in here...

[@michiganbushcraft975]

When it turns that easily by hand, there is no need to lubricate the cylinders.

[@tomh6779]

No, Mortske has it going on! I’m sorry, but really no offense!!! He’s really a great wrench. He’s been doing this for years! You gotta admit, the ole Mortske flick works 9X outa 10.

I live in California. I've lived here off and on (moved around for work quite a bit) for the better part of 40 years, and the overregulation is so far reaching, it is almost comical. We can't buy an aftermarket air cleaner for our motorcycles, but if you wanna go and steal from the local grocery store, be our guest.

[@garysprandel1817]

The GVW on the truck is most likely a lot of states considered them to be commercial vehicles. Dad had a 68 F150 as he was a carpenter and I remember him having to go through the kabuki theater of running it over the roadside truck scales here in Illinois back in the 70s and even had to go through commercial vehicle safety inspections even if it was a daily driver. Think the requirement to pull a regular sized pick up over the scales was gotten rid of some time in the late 70s and the safety inspections went away in the late 80s when pick ups became regular daily drivers that once in a great while carried something bulkier than the weekly groceries because that was done by the time I got my Ranger in 90.

[@richardbates2367]

I hear that my dad's work truck when I was in highschool was a 70 Ford F-250 from western Illinois over by the lakes so was very rusty and it had scales certification stickers on the Dr side of inside of the windshield..

Ouh i am glad i live in southeast Finland, only one foot of snow depht, and 23°f.

[@rhekman]

I can attest to the steering sector holding up the cab in a rusty bump side. We had a '67 F100 that I used to commute back and forth to town when I was 16 working for my uncle on the farm. Luckily the rag joint sheared only a block from the house one morning, and I was able to push it back to a safe spot.

[@MortskeRepair]

Sketchy!

[@grantmelcher1830]

Not bad for sitting in a field 20+ years!!!! Rusty cab mounts throw everything off. Really messed up the clutch linkage on my 73. Really enjoy the Chanel

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Puddin always gets out of his truck to setup his camera so we can actually see the donuts when he does them, which is why hes a better donut recorder and a better donut performer than Mortske.

[@MortskeRepair]

Pshhhh you wish

[@timhanson2080]

Another wonderful Monday. More snow and a new video 👍🇺🇸

[@dannyo6699]

My uncle had a 70 F250 with a cargo lamp and it had that same warning sticker to turn it off when moving.

Had a 1972 FORD F-100 240 3 on the tree. Red with chrome bumpers and grill. Bought it from an old farmer that only used it for going to church and grocery shopping. I bought it in 1987 and it was in mint comdition. Just a couple of scratches on the box floor. Wish I still had that old FERD.

[@amadeo_serrano]

36:56 For some unfathomable reason, the company I retired from was a customer of Lawson Products which, by the way, was about 20 to 40% more expensive than buying the same product locally. Everything that came in a plastic baggie had one of those silly inserts in the bag. I could never figure out how a brass fitting that got installed on, for example, a skid steer could cause reproductive harm particularly to the many millenials we had working there when most were, for the most part, walking erections. 🤔😂😂

[@anthonyblacker8471]

Probably a steal for the drivetrain.. It does need a tune up and a carb kit, but considering how pretty much SHOT the bottom of that trucks is, I'm thinking that motor had a pretty recent (in miles at least) overhaul. Runs really good. Great video this week again Mortske, thanks for the motivation to get my ass back to work on my projects. I hate the cold (and I'm nowhere NEAR as north as you are) but Spring is coming!!

The comment about the wrecker exhaust got me thinking. You. used to see some of them old 1 ton gasser wreckers that had stacks. I’m not a big fan of gassers with stacks, but in the case of a wrecker it serves a purpose. I will say that I have a 1954 Ford F 600 cab and chassis that I think might possibly maybe probably get a set of stacks with tink tinks😂 I will admit though small, a 239 y block sounds pretty mean with no manifolds. For the record that wrecker is mint👌

[@rdbrnr86gt]

I do enjoy that Mortske takes shots at every brand, not just one of them. I wonder though, if you had were to build a truck with any parts that were available between 1965 and 1975, what would the combo be? Which chassis, engine, trans, axles and body? Mix and match of anything available then. Enjoying the "interruption" Mortske Minute segments too. It's fun getting some history and info. If people don't like it, it's easy to skip past.
