🤠👍
Stayin tuned!
Great find but I like your 77 DODGE !
The diagnoisis would be interesting
You definitely need to video it getting it running
Awesome looking lady. I Would really enjoy for all of the work you to getting her running. Thanks for sharing. Until next time.
I agree with many of these comments – let’s see the whole getting it working again set of videos! Regards.
Would love to see you get it started
needs 35s and exhaust and you cannt go wrong with a will it run
Truck really looks in good shape And it looks like the original paint job It's going to be interesting watching you put it back together
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Being a non automatic guy I love the “classy” comment referring to the Zf5
Really enjoyed your video. Glad you have nice weather.
Please film bringing back to life
Any Ford 4×4 content i fully support so have at it
Solid ol OBS young man. Would love to see you film getting that binder running!👍🇺🇲
That's a nice crew cab good score on that keep us posted on your updates on the truck way2go
Yeah Brother, Looks like another one 'followed you home' to add to the 'stable'. The body on it looks very solid and no rot underneath. You are truly blessed to be in the right place at the right time. Can't wait to see more inspection vids on it! Enjoy it Brother!
DIAGNOSIS and engine running
We’ll watch whatever you put up. 👍
I would love to see you get that old girl going I'm a big fan of those old trucks
I'd love to see whatever it takes to get that rig runnin. You got your way of doing stuff which makes it different than the other channels and I like your way better than others
The real question is how does a rural Alaskan have so much time and money to spend on old Ford trucks. I’m jealous
love to see what the problem was for not starting g
I like it
Would love to see the get it running video on this one. She's a nice one!
Hey, first time seeing your video. I understand your going to explain all about the truck. What did it cost you ?
Looks like a nice score.
Make a video of you working on it
Such a nice truck, they don’t exist around me anymore
Love those early 7.3's. I have a 96 E350 15 passenger Van with 374 K . Main block never been touched 🥲
Be curious to know if it has any stored codes. Ipr certainly needs to be addressed. If you have something that will show you live data you can check the vitals while cranking, see if its building oil pressure. Those cam driven hi-low pressure pumps are fun. The plunger can fall out of the bottom of the pump and ker plink all the way to the bottom of the oil pan, ask me how i know. You do have the nicer of the pto idle control boxes that were available. The basic one was basically just charge protect mode with no digital rpm display. Just started watching your videos, i came for the highboys, have several of those myself. Looking forward to seeing you getting this truck running.
Definitely could be fun to get it running on video.
Everybody is different.
that thing is awesome. So practical and built for purpose. IMO a good cleaning and clean up the rust spots and just leave the truck the way it sits. So cool ! I like how they put the door straps in the limit the doors flying open, helps save the hinges. I know its low mileage but Id bet it would be double that with all the idle hours factored in. Either way itll run a long time probably
Hey Kiddo, we want you to film it all. Start to Finish 😅
By all means, please do film fixing up the old girl, if it is to your liking to do so. Wish to vicariously partake in the fun and get your take on repairing that Era of Ford Diesel
I would love to see a starting/playing around trying to get it running, awesome!
Manual windows, door locks, 4wd shift lever, the only thing it's missing is the manual transmission like you stated. It's a nice truck show us all your work on it. Including getting it started. Your knowledge is remarkable!!
Please show how to get it running correctly, l have a 1984 6.9 thats been sitting for twenty five years! I have forgotten everything l knew about how to bleed the injectors . Is there a way to lubricate the cylinders before turning it over? Looks like a great truck for here in Michigan ,good score.
That thing is a sassy cunt! dana 60 screw cab….. nice and neglected for a cheaper price tag… just needs that bolt action
What on earth is going on, it's not even abused and neglected, seats are in good shape and it's all one color
Definitely want to see what it takes to get it running
hey you gotta film the start up process
Thats another damn fine truck for your collection. Certainly nothing like what we have over here in the UK. For the curious among us though, whats a "slope truck"?
