    ive got a 70.s F600 here in Delta Junction that i am about to start on. I am getting it all cleaned up and running good and then building a "tiny house" type cabin on the back of it. Glad I came across this video.

    Gotta love the bush ingenuity. Gitten it done. I was once about 50 yrs ago, one couldn't put a under the waterline patch on my 28' fiberglass boat after it broke loose from its mooring at 15 degrees, wind blowing about 50, hit the beach got a hole punched in her and the tide was starting to come in. Dang patch was on there over 2 years.

    I've owned several old iron
    67 mustang 289.65 Ford camper special.. 352..69 nova. My dad had dodges.. had friends that had a belvedere with the 409. Best engine I've been around was the 454 in a c 20. Always started. In temps really low. Could pull anything. Didn't leak oil. Had a cooling system that could tow in 100 degree weather and never overheat. The c20s had power disc brakes in the early 70s. Front large sway bar, overload springs in the back. Nothing really comes close

    Nice F600! It's pretty rare to find one in that good of shape down here in the lower 48, let alone Alaska! Would definitely make for a nice hauler truck once she has a good engine again. That dump bed is another nice touch, too! I know of people who'd salvage the bed and put it on a newer truck, so the bed alone is worth keeping at worst case scenario.
    Really loving the JB Weld patch job! That engine's scrap weight anyways, so why not have some fun with it first? lol

    @MustangsTrainsMowers 2 роки тому +1

    I briefly owned a 1971 F600 2001 into 2002. It needed lots of work and it had the split rims. It had a stake side flatbed, 300-6, 4 speed manual transmission and a single speed rear axle. It had an oil bath air cleaner. I absolutely loved driving it but few places would insure it and parts were hard to find. I sold it back to the father of the young man I bought it from.

    I got 3 old ford trucks. My main truck has a 390 my wrecker has a 352. I just bought a 74 with a 360. I’m thinking about buying a 75 f250. It has a 400 in it is what he told me. I haven’t confirmed that yet. I’m not sure I don’t think they came stock with a 400. I gotta research that. He wants 1000 bucks for it, I know he was driving every day about a year ago. The rear end went out and he parked it. He said he has rearend for it in the back. I’m probably buying it next week.

  • @timhede9560
    @timhede9560 Рік тому +1

    Great video. First thing that goes in these engines is the small seal around the distributor. It was before o rings. Excell used to make a electronic distributor for these engines, with the o.. ring. They run alot better with better spark delivery. Take care. Tim

    Muito especial este teu caminhão.
    Só trabalhei com caminhões Diesel.

    @artemiasalina1860 2 роки тому +1

    A low mileage truck from a guy who takes care of his stuff has a motor that's blown a hole on the block. I guess that answers the question about how reliable the industrial version of these motors are, and maybe why no one talks about them or uses them as retrofits. Dunno.

    I don't do much wrenching myself. I wonder though if it'd be possible to weld that. Aside from using jbweld lol. I'd assume the other issue would be making it flat so the pan would seal. Maybe file it down as flat as you can make it and use rtv to fill any gap there might be.

Have fun with it.. its reassuring that some of these trucks still in fair shape exist. I think shes a great truck even with that dead engine

    Motor is still good. Check timing chain, water pump. Chicken wire is better than cardboard. Cut a small section, bend it into the hole . It's like small rebar. Card board will break down in the inside and plug the oil pump.

    @bmacd2112 2 роки тому +2

    That truck is in way too nice shape for it's age. I think before you try starting it again, I'd drop the oil pan. You might be able to get away with replacing one rod & bearing and save the engine. That would be a whole lot cheaper than another used engine. Just a thought. 🤔

  • @timhede9560
