- This f350 looks like it’s went through hell and back, but I think it still has some life left in it, can we get it running after it’s been sitting for 35 years? This old truck looks to be sporting a 6.9 IDI, a t-19 4 speed, and a Dana 60 rear axle, it’s quite the pleasant combo. We bought this truck for its parts to keep my other three on the road happy, we will use as much as we can.

Thanks for watching!
The dealership sticker is from Grand Centre Alberta. ALTA is the old way of shortening Alberta. Now its just AB. Grand Centre no longer exists as it merged with neighbouring Cold Lake.
Yes sir very good to know, that’s before my time haha 😂
In 1996 Grand Center Alberta merged with Cold Lake Alberta. That cab is a ways from home. Keep up the good work.
Yes sir it’s a few clicks haha 😂
Awesome video Colt! Still lots of good parts on that old truck. That 6.9 sounds great. You'll have that engine running just as good as old blue before we know it. Cheers
Yes sir that’s the plan haha, hopefully sooner than later I’ll have it mocked up between the frame rails
@@highostablegarage awesome! That 6.9 and the old international are going to be like two peas in a pod.
@@rickyjessome4359 yes sir I think so too
You are probably one of my new favorite UA-camrs. I love the idi.
That's probably a Dana 70. They use the same covers as the 60. I have a 83 f250 with a 70 in it so I would be super surprised that this one being DRW to not be a 70 as well. My truck is also Canadian made.
Hum, I actually never laid my eyes on a 70, and main differences on the outside between the 60 and 70?
@@highostablegarage Axle tubes are larger on the 70. If it's anything like the one I have it should taper down at the wheel / hub flange. Ring gear is larger 10.5 in diameter.
@@OnusofStrife good to know I’ll take a look
Cool it's such an early one!!!
100%
Very enjoyable and nice to see you got it done and running.
Great rescue find! Love these old bullnose Ford trucks, especially the 6.9L IDI diesel V8 engine ones. Axles, transmissions, cooling and suspension all MORE durable. Worthy of keeping engine stock, as zero emissions equipment on it AND turbos tend to fail. A stout dual exhaust like a custom crossover will do it good. Glow plugs biggest issue, but Motorcraft do it best. Worthwhile replacing stock delay switch as many bypass it and burn up glow plugs otherwise. Glad it's a manual transmission too, as their automatic transmission for these diesel V8 engines tended to explode due to strong engine torque output. Bodies still plentiful out there for replacement, plus seats interchangeable even from 1999+ Super Duty supposedly. Body can be redone then sealed, painted and Line-X coated beds and underbelly. Love that truck!👍
Spray and go.
If it's leaking it's got oil in it
Yes sir haha 😂
Beaten and battered old ford she is built tough what a fine machine sadly they are disapearing
Great job, i like yours persistence
Thank you 👌
The truck was an 83 with a 82 cab . I still got the regi for that cab
Love the bullnose Ford trucks ❤ I have so many diecast models
You're a good feller.
That is an 82-86 Grill. Only 80-81 didn't have blue oval. Also 6.9 IDI was first used by Ford in 83 so yes that's the correct grill
Engine fixing starts at 26:40 FF to that
Well done !
What a sweetheart👌
my 1990 f-superduty cab and chassis has a cab light

What camera do you use to film your videos?
iPhone 14 pro, only reason I bought the thing haha
Just be yourself. Sounds like a wannabe Derek from vgg. Other then that, good content man.
Yeah and everyone who runs a chop shop is a wanna be gas monkey garage 🙄,if you have no idea who I am I don’t think you can make claims like “just be yourself”.
If anything vgg is trying to copy hsg.
I find myself using Derek's many sayings in daily life sometimes, they just have a way of sticking in a guy's brain
