Abandoned for Years! 1965 Ford F100! Will It Run?!? Oklahoma Farm Truck! Amazing Transformation!

On a recent trip to Oklahoma to visit the Pott County Legend himself I figured we may as well not come home empty with a big block Chevrolet crew cab squarebody dually! After searching all week and nothing coming up this cute little 1965 Ford shortbed came up on Facebook. A deal was struck and we drug it home! Now lets see if we can convince this thing to run and drive once again! If you'd like to own this one it can be yours for $5500 as shown. (Minus the Monte Carlo bench seat that has since been sold and never fit right anyway!) As always, thanks for watching!

Hey Puddin. You gotta run coolant because it increases the boiling point, and reduces the internal patina you love on the outside. Inside engine patina Bad, outside body patina Good.

[@MortskeRepair]

Good to know!

[@whoaaanelly65]

Mortske - I'm the fellar who sent the three 2100 Autolite carbs to ol' Puddin while you were visiting him. Generally you NEVER want to use Teflon tape on fuel systems. Period. The issue with tapered pipe threads on anything, they will work as you say, on dissimilar materials without sealant as long as it's the first time you assemble them. 90% of the reason you use a pipe "dope" is not for sealing, but as a lubricant to allow the two tapered threaded items to merge without galling the threads. The problem is - just like those stripped threads you lament about - is knowing when to stop threading the bits together! You can expand and compress the tapered threads to the point where they eventually, after 60 years, bottom out before sealing. In my early career (I'm retired now) I built fuel-flow test benches sent to Ford, Chrysler and another company I think sourced parts for Renault. These 8-foot tall cabinets full of plumbing for air and calibration fluids (originally stainless, but then we went to cad-plated steel fittings for ourselves), had to not only not leak, but not suck any air. An occasional air bubble would cause chaos for the pulse-count computer used to determine fuel flow. To eliminate this, as well as eliminate galling, which on the stainless-on-stainless fittings is-a-thing, we used a Teflon-based Loctite pipe thread sealant. This should be your go-to for any fuel system fittings. EDIT: I see a lot of comments recommending Teflon Tape. The issue with tape in certain applications is more a problem with the installation and not with the tape itself. If you use tape, it is important to start the tape up a thread or two from the end of the thread. The threads will act like knife edges and slice the tape into strands capable of entering whatever you are assembling if wrapping the end of the pipe as I've seen 143 million times. In carbs, it will and has kept needle/seat from sealing - other other meddlesome things.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks for the Carbs!!! I opened that box and said “holy cow”!!!! Did you go through them yourself??

[@whoaaanelly65]

@@PuddinsFabShop All of them were built by me, yes. Even machined the center air cleaner bolts with the 1/4-20 tapped holes. Been building carbs since I was about 10 (I'm 63 now), mostly all Ford stuff. So know them we'll. FWIW, if you look on the front drivers side on those carbs, you'll see numbers like 1.08, 1.14, etc. The larger number the bigger the motor it could apply to. Meant to include a note for you, but Oops. Thanks for the bi-weekly distraction.

"People in Oklahoma probably change there oil as frequently as they brush there teeth" Thomas Mortske. LOL that one was probably one of the unintended jokes of the show.

Summer of 71 I traded 1965 Impala 2dr HT for 1966 ford pickup 6 cylinder 3 on the tree. We traded title for title no money exchanged hands. I drove pickup last 2 years of college hauling beer, furniture, friends, dorm stuff and more beer. In 1973 I graduated college and give truck to my Dad. He drove truck from 1973 until he passed 1993. My Mother gave truck back to me and I immediately give truck to High School friend of mine. He drove it several more years until the rust won. In approximately 30 years truck had one engine rebuild and one DIY paint job. If truck could talk there would be many stories. When I checked mileage it was over 450,000 miles when my Dad was still driving in 1993 Great old Ford truck

The 65 Ford was a good buy , not much rust , quite a bit of hackery in the wiring , and sludge and blockages in the fuel system . However , Mortske to the rescue and it ironed it out in the end . That said it wound up becoming a solid daily driver with a DUFF DOG seal of approval . Thank you for all your expertise and cool temper and your humor still cracks me up . Stuart in Canada ..

I had traded a 2 dr. 66 chevy for it and sold it to a guy who hauled watermelons and citrus out of the imperial valley of ca. up to Washington. I ran into him years later, and after he made a fortune with it traded it for a bicycle for his granddaughter. Things do come full circle.

Happy Mortske Monday! Love that truck! BTW The saying "Close, but no cigar!" originated from carnival games and fairs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when cigars were given as prizes! When a player came close to winning but ultimately failed, the carnival barker would shout "Close, but no cigar!" to indicate that they had narrowly missed out on the prize. Over time, the expression evolved to mean coming close to achieving a goal or succeeding at something, but ultimately falling short. The phrase has endured in modern language as a colorful way to describe near misses or narrow failures.

The Gauge cluster on that truck means its a standard model not a custom cab. The trim was an option that could be added on. 65 and 66 Custom Cabs have a sweeping speedometer like the 65 Mustangs and Ranchero. But it is nice to see a cluster bezel not all cut up, a lot of them have the little circles cut out for aftermarket gauges, ( While there were some factory add on ones available). Oh and the rust around the top of the cab, that's because there is foam all around that on the inside. So water gets trapped in there over the years and rots it from the inside out. I had to deal with a little of that on my truck. Then made sure to pull it all out.

Wrong the 64 custom cab had that same gauge cluster 65 to 66 was a different cluster I agree I could've been swapped at some point in it's life

[@evasesh6585]

@@timothypriest4791 I never said anything about the 64, I know those had the round clusters still, this is a 65 F100. Yes the cluster could have been swapped, but it is also missing the custom cab script that would be on the doors if it was a custom cab. This truck is just a standard short box model with a 240/300, not a custom cab, with the factory add on option for stainless down the side ( or it could have been added later ). We know this is not a 64, so I never mentioned that cluster because it didnt mater.

My cousin's 65 custom cab had the same Guage cluster as this one, but it had custom cab on the door below the window. But it could've been manufactured in late 64 before the sweep guages

[@evasesh6585]

@@davidhicks2178 His was probably swapped out, My 65 is an early run and had the sweep gauges, but I also swapped mine out for the round ones because I liked the look of those more than then sweep ones. A lot of people did. But there are a lot of other things that say this is not a custom cab, its missing the stainless trim that goes across the center front of the dash, also the doors are missing the stainless trim, there's also no mounting holes in this truck for them. Also the grill should be an anodized aluminum, not painted like this one is.

[@davidhicks2178]

@@evasesh6585 his truck had the aluminum trim on the dash, doors, and the chrome bumbers and stainless grill. I personally like the round ones as well,but I know someone done work to his because of the diamond tuck interiors they probably swapped out the cluster as well. Obviously the 302 wasn't factory, if I remember correctly his VIN showed a 240 six cylinder. I like the sweep gages in the 67-72 Rangers

That big fly is a locust or a cicada.

That bug is not a giant fly. You just discovered what a Cicada looks like. They are all over the south and they make the soundtrack for summer!
