Will This FORGOTTEN Big Block Ford F250 Run and Drive After 11 Years? - Vice Grip Garage EP77

  • This Big Block Ford F-250 Pickup truck has been sitting in the trees for 11 years now. She's got a 460, and 4 wheel drive. Once a beloved truck, after some rust issues surfaced, it was parked for something more reliable. I fight mice eating wires, a stuck engine, locked wheels, no brake lines, and a host more on this one! Think this sleeping giant will start and run once again? **All debris and garbage were picked up before departing. Ruts caused by the tires were backfilled and tamped**.

And now he's coming up on 1.4 million Subscribers and he and Jessica just starred in the debut on their new Motor Trend show on the Motor Trend Channel on YT, "Roadworthy Rescues". That is way cool and they earned it and they deserve it because they are truly good, salt-of-the-earth, genuine, honest people.

    As an old Ford guy from the early 70's, and wrenched on most of them from late 60's up to early 2000's Watching you delve into the mysteries of Ford Vacuum driven accessories, and air pumps for emissions standards at the time was hilarious and also I felt a pang of pity for you. Best thing to do, is rip it all off, plug the holes, hook up a pump down vacuum gauge, and plug whatever leaks are left. It will run much better after that. But your AC or vent controls won't work, nor defrost settings etc. The only cars worse than mid to late 70 Fords were Dastun B-210's!!! with the vacuum nonsense. Really enjoyed this, and yes, everything has to be different with Ford.

      If it's that rubberized stuff, it makes rust worse. Usually gets sprayed on and traps moisture between itself and the vehicle, making it turn even faster. Most mechanics recommend fluid film, but thankfully I drive a Chevy, and it just automagically dumps all kinds of lubricant on the chassis by design.
