Will This 1967 F-100 Run After Setting for 30+ Years?

Today we have fun getting this little 240 fired back up and running after more than 30 years of neglect. I find some concerning things during my work with it but I also think I find the reason it was parked to begin with! I hope you enjoy the show.

What a cool truck. Someone is going to get a unique truck different from anything everybody is driving. Don't see these anymore. I'm old enough to remember these trucks. Very cool

That little inline six sounds like a sewing machine Matt 😎👍 Glad to see it start up. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧

[@danielsmith4021]

Always enjoy watching your Videos !!

[@MattKubik1791]

Thank you!

Glad to see you reviving this Ma Bell Bumpside. The door decals should have a 1964 to 1969 era Bell System roundel on the forward edge of each door with the Southwestern Bell graphics.

Glad you got it running. Nice coffee cup!!

Run some Berryman in the oil then let the engine IDLE for 15-30min then drop the oil. should free up a lot of the sludge. Also you might try blasting brake cleaner into the pan after you drop it.

I remember the old Southwestern Bell trucks from when I was a Kid. The logo on the riders door was a Bell I would have decals made to replace before I clear coated it. That is a super cool truck and thanks for saving it and bringing it back to life.

[@MattKubik1791]

Yeah I’m working on some decals for it!

[@shawndcolvin1786]

Yup on the right side door it's a Bell Telephone logo 🤗

[@johnlow5489]

Can’t believe how good that engine sounded. Thought it was going to be bad news with the condition of things.

[@MattKubik1791]

Never count out the old 6 cylinder Ford!

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

After 57 years that driver's door still shuts like brand new. And while the 1967 F-100.s are really cool. I like mine a bunch it's got the same drivetrain as yours, the part that I don't care for some parts are not reproduced.

[@MattKubik1791]

That is the bad part about owning a 67

[@XRod3308]

This little pickup is awesome! Great find Matt. I would love to cruise this truck from job site to job site. Excellent little service truck. Keep up the good work, Matt! Can’t wait to see more.

[@MattKubik1791]

Thank you!

On vehicles that old you can take the ignition switch to a locksmith and they should be able to make a new key for relatively little money. There are some locksmiths that specialize in automotive locksmithing but they’re not as easy to find and probably not necessary for a vehicle this old.

[@MattKubik1791]

Thanks! I’ll have to see if I can find one to give it a try.

[@ronaldduwaynebrown8071]

Heck yeah

[@royportalise5269]

Awesome 👏🏻. Thinking of dropping the pan to wash out the pan of sludge?

[@MattKubik1791]

Not easy to drop the pan with the big crossmember under the engine. main goal here was just to hear the engine run before I moved forward.

[@WilliamMunny-d8s]

FYI, my flashers were even slower , once i replaced the fuse. LIKE MINE, IM betting yours is so rusted it barely works and will blow a fuse or quit. it was 2 multi boxes of fuses[2x$8] to find right size and one $10cdn flasher and it was all fixed!

[@MattKubik1791]

I’ll have to check it!

[@WilliamMunny-d8s]

after seeing that sludge barely come out, unless i got this truck REALLY CHEAP, like under $1000 iw ouldve dropped the pan or pulled the engine to at least clean it. BARRING THAT, i wouldve poured a gallon of diesel thru the engine while changing ing the oild and tried =shaking it around even with plug closed and a few buddies on both sides, cuz like u say thats alot of thick sludge that was GREY to start with

[@MattKubik1791]

I did try to flush what I could put of there off camera. But remember this was just to see if the engine was even any good. For all I knew it could of had a spun bearing, Broken valve or valve spring, collapsed lifter etc etc. this was the bare minimum to hear the thing run. Pulling the engine out to clean the pan only to put it back and find those problems would have been very discouraging. Now that I’ve heard it run and didn’t find any major issues the whole truck is getting some more love!

[@stevenlopez102]
