Bought A Ratty Ford Truck, Let The Fixing Begin.

You might just have a keeper there Mustie. That would not take much to win trophies in original unrestored category of your local car shows. Just wash it and clean it real good then shoot the outside with clear coat to preserve it.

last time i rebuilt one of those it came with a fiber washer to go between the brass fitting and carb body.

Why do you not remove the engine completely and then you can fix it without having to work in a confined space...? No cherry picker?

Watch roadkill on their econoline truck. The had overheating issues. Might have been self inflicted, but they do have some comments on stock cooling parts.

This Econoline is definitely better than "He Hate Me" from Roadkill. But yeah, a 302 would make it so much cooler.

A LOT lest rust on that frame than on the Toiletota!

Still would drop a 4 or 6 cylinder diesel in her...manual trans...mini duals

A 302? That Truck Needs a 351! ;)

Get the boys from Skid Factory to help you put a Barra in it, then you could give Millsy a run in his Bedford, lol.

VERY VERY NICE truck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mustie. You need to use 5000K fluorescent tubes to have the best light to film. You also need to make sure they have a high CRI rating. Above 85 is good

I like long videos like this one.

Stick with a straight six but a 300 ci with a Clifford intake and headers. I hear the 300 runs smoother than a 302. The 300 may use same engine perches?

Such a cool rig

I learned to drive in a Dodge version of this. It was an old service truck my dad retired and brought home, and I would sneak it out while he was at work during the day and drive it. Until he found out and I got my butt beat. LOL. Those things were so light in the rear, even those anemic sixes would light the back tires up. So I'm told, that is.... :)

Will moth balls keep mice away? What do you use to keep them out of your vehicles in storage?

65 and looks cleaner than a 95or even some early 200s cars. pretty clean for the north-east

I was cringing watching him crank on that fuel line fitting. They do make line wrenches.

Put a whiskey barrel in back of truck with a aftermarket fuel tank in it. That would look cool love the videos

i set of header pipes would look pretty cool on this old girl

I loved watching you rebuild the 1100. I rebuilt one a few years ago and had the same issue with getting the fuel line started and leaking. Also, the two accelerator pump diaphragms are because the automatic trans version has 2, one gives an extra squirt when letting off the throttle to catch the rpm drop.

The straight 6 purrs again Mustie Style......Here in the UK, those slotted Mags were known as "Wolfrace" branded....Popular in the early seventies....Starter motor was a bargain....Guess the fuel tank will get patched up...lol.

Almost click bait! Wheres the ratty truck?

I love those engines they run forever

You are trying to drawer a vacuum on the temporary fuel can. Needs a vent!

I love the big wheels! Heck you gotta do bodywork anyway, just a bit of tweaking will make it work!

I love aluminum slotted mags. My first car was an orange Dodge Challenger R/T which had those on it.

New lights look perfect Mustle! Love the content sir, I am only 22 years old, and I find your content memorizing. Your thought process and critical thinking are second to none. I wish you and your family the best in life.

Run the fattys man that thing will never squat Enuf to hit them

I had a chevy cavalier full brake line and fuel line rust cost $1239 text year fail car junk out ouch!

Great project. I'm enjoying watching this.

I owned a 65 Chevy Van back in the 70s. I loved driving that van but I like the Ford E pickup too.

Excited about this Econoline project, 5 window! Make it your parts getter. The slots look great too!

Come on brother! Hurry up, I can hardly wait for more! This is a cool project for sure.

put the original tires and rims and hub caps on, be original

I noticed the better lighting the last video. I fired you had splurged on a bitchin new camera or something.

When you got this started I swear I could just smell this video

Really like the orange color ... and the way it gets a goldie tinge from an angle. Really nice.

"We do it NICE because we do it twice"

Next time i need a carb rebuilt I'm callin you! Got them quick hands...

it is called a stopy

Pick Ups are hardly ever cute, But WoW, this reminds me of the Japanese pick ups you see from the 80s. To quote Bobby duke, "I Want That!"

makes me miss my old falcon, it was so easy to work on

When I it's fixed I would so make it my daily driver love the aluminum slots

This is one of those weird cars you hate or you love. I think it looks cool. Maybe not a full restoration but at least it deserves an "all rust goes away" one. This thing can make a nice electric conversion with all that space for batteries under it.

WOW!! I've seen more complicated carbs on lawnmowers!!  All cars today should be this simple!!  Keep up the great vids!

HAMBUGER!

I would probably look for a 300 inline six to replace the one that's in it. Maybe put a C4 in there too.
