Left For DEAD 24 Years Ago! LOCKED UP! 81 F100 351W

[@Vince-m2m]

Hard to believe that an engine rusted that bad inside , will even run a little ,let alone sit and idle, a testament to your determination Chad

[@Rickwaldron1960]

Whoops its a 5.0

[@Greasy_caveman]

That old Ford probably had a 300 straight 6 with a 4 speed manual transmission. Nothing gets me more excited than a new TNT garage video! You never disappoint Chad!

[@buckster2575]

I thought that to a 300 6 with a auto is rare.they must have pulled the clutch pedal and put in a auto brake pedal.

[@Ford679]

300 6 4speed is what I'm thinking to 👍

[@buckster2575]

@@Ford679 I missed the clutch pedal

[@lawrenceedwards6327]

Ford had the same size brake pedal for auto or manual transmissions. Later in the vid, you see the clutch stuck to the floor.

[@lewisriverkid9929]

@@lawrenceedwards6327 not sure where you get that information from, fords did not have the same size brake pedal, at least when it came to bullnose trucks (80-86) if it was a manual it always had a skinny pedal, if it was an auto it always has the wide pedal, this truck was clearly swapped from a manual to an auto and they just left the old pedal bracket on.

[@grks96]

That’s a manual brake pedal. I’d bet it used to be a 300/6 4 speed and was swapped to a 351w using the 6 cyl mounts. Pretty neat truck, definitely tells a story!

[@johndavidgillespie2619]

Yup exactly what I’m thinkin

[@Jacob_6420]

Yeah definitely manual you could see the clutch pedal when he showed the brake pedal

[@dalehovland3283]

Probably the 6cylinder power steering setup ad well

[@raptormills]

Agreed

[@mrfatbobrider1969]

Finally someone with a good head on his shoulders and is using a chain and pipe to try turn an engine instead of cracking off the crank bolt 👍👍👍

[@kande6916]

This Ford had to have been a power house in its day as the Ford 351 was a tough motor . The 351 W was made in Canada and the 351 Cleveland was made in the USA and the difference supposedly is the Cleveland block was built a little bigger for racing. The Canadians may argue this but it is a fact.Anyway both motors were excellent and popular. Us Ford fans love them like you Chevy guys like your LS 350s!! Great video !!! Thanks

[@tylerbeach4727]

I had a 78 f-150 plow truck with the 351m. That engine ran like a top, sadly rust took it over to the point I couldnt even plow the yard with it. Miss that old truck. Last few years I used reverse for brakes too and the trans wouldn’t die either. 😂

[@damiangillett6443]

The windsor revved higher, better suited for street and strip. The clevo redlined at 4500 and pulled like a freight train had better torque at lower revs for F Trucks and Falcons. Had both variants in Australia and know the engines well

[@BillHilly69]

I swapped a 300 to a 351W in a ‘83. It had a granny low 4 speed and it was sure enough a beast.

[@jakeryan682]

[@wes11bravo]

Were any of you guys surprised at how well this beast ran after being locked up so tight for decades? Definitely a testimony to the design and resilience of the 351 Ford.

Ya got me again on a school night, bud! Luckily, tomorrow is my Friday thanks to Veterans Day (Love and Respect to all my fellow Veterans out there - thanks for your service!) so I don't mind missing a few hours of sleep. Love all these old Fords, Chad - keep em coming!

I really think that '80's style of Ford pickup was the best looking versions of all. Glad you are rescuing it! Nice to see that you have enough mechanical experience not to let the little trials and tribulations ruin your good mood.

I had a 85 Ford with the 300/6 and when I went to sell it for a new truck ,I literally had two guys bidding each other because of the motor!! Of course this was years ago. If I remember right ,I think I had a 3 speed with overdrive manual floor shift but dont quote me on this. Should have kept that truck .

Yea they came with a 3 speed with mule gear

Gotta love those ole bullnose fords. Ive got a 85 f150 4 wheel drive, two tone blue that i picked up a few yrs ago. Only had 41,000 origional on it, slowly gettin it running right. Gonna delete all that smog bs eventually and make it dependable. Congrats on getting her running.

[@leekidwell8795]

Boy howdy, I thought the last resurrection looked tough. This one was ever tougher. So on that note, I have 2 names for you Bodacious or Bushwhacker. They were crossbred brahma rodeo bulls, and both extremely tough to ride in their day. I like Bodacious cause it didn’t seem like that truck was going to let you win. Then Bushwhacker cause you had to use your jack handle to whack through the weeds.

Those locusts make great fire wood, but they're the second hardest tree I've work with. The black locust thorn will tear you up and the wood itself eats chainsaw blades.

[@robertwelsh1770]

Hey Chad. I was the 30th view on this video and felt pretty lucky about that. After that excellent demonstration of a Tennessee baseball cut and the reveal of the old girl I recognized that model as the company truck I used to get picked up in when I worked summers in an ochre mine in Cartersville Georgia in the early 80s. It was a terrible shade of orange and was known as "punk in" around the yard. It was a six with a collum shifter. I was half way through watching you fight that cranky crank when I thought "there ain't no way." Son you have both patience and pierce to veerence, or else you're harder headed than anybody I ever met! I was fixing to fall asleep cause we did concrete all day so I had to pick it up this morning when I was getting me a coffee and a smoke. Absolutely incredible that you got it running on ever how many cylinders. That you managed to drive the old Bullhead outa them weeds and around the farm? Awesome! But sir, my dirty old ball cap is off to you for takin that poor old Bullwhip down the rural route to take it home! You my friend are an American of the original style and have turnips about the size of rutabagas. Thanks for a great upload that had my jaw on the floor half the time and a grin all the rest. I salute you!

Quite certain the factory installed motor was a 300 6 with a 4 spd manual. Looks like the power steering pump bracket was reused from the 6. Honestly it doesn’t look like a very well done swap having the motor lopsided like that. I bet the head gasket might be leaking into the coolant side the way it’s burping out water..Honestly it’s a cool truck that could be a nice little sleeper truck. Nice job on the video
