Hi Chris! I realize that some of the fantastic tips you share in this video may be old hat to seasoned professionals, like yourself, but they are revelation to me. Thank you for giving some of us shade tree boys the benefit of your experience.
The bull nose Fords will always be my favorite trucks. I've always wanted one, but never able to find one in half decent shape. You've done excellent work on yours! She sounds like she's ready to drive another 300,000 miles. 👍🔧😎 Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely and well said. Bullnose is my favorite which is why when I saw it originally for $500 I had to get it. It’s one step closer to be ready to help other classic cars who had suffered the same fate of being abandoned to help them bring them back to life too. Beautiful.
Have you taken it for a road test already? Seems like that exhaust might resonate like all hell dumping under the service box and all. Nice video anyways!
Another superb video by The Swede --informative, thorough, yet face-paced. Even a bit of comic relief from Sorted George! 😄

Your most welcome!🤘🏼💯
Engine sounds great. I bet that is a big load off the ol' back to see it actually running and moving under its own power.
Definitely! Compression is 140-150 across all cylinders. Perfect. 👍🏼
Good demo of Ford peculiarities. All fixable if you know what to look for , and you do.
Definitely. Just have to step back a bit and think about it.
Great sounding engine! 👌👌
Thanks for another great video, always learn something new watching your posts.
You are most welcome boss🤘🏼

Superb Video young man 😉 Can't wait for the test drive 👍
Me too!🏁🤘🏼
Probably would have been best to tap that hole with the manifold off? Metal shavings?
Naw it will be fine. That port is for exhaust only. The metal shavings will simply sit at the bottom of the manifold.
I’m new here. I like it. I’m all about big block ford. Just built a 351M. Right? Something different. Would be surprised at what a M will do
Haven’t been around the 351’s much but I believe ya. 👍🏼
😁😁👍👍

Nice video anyways!
Not yet. I’ll probably put 2 90 degree bends in it and dump it out the side. Brakes and fuel system still need going over
You basically have a new old truck now lol
Pretty much! My sanity level is basically at zero…. Ha ha🙃
