"Do you want to see me do it again?" HELL YEAH! Good old Ford bent 8, great engine. I enjoy you humour, get me laughing every time, sometimes out loud even.
People that make comments like "You're going to snap off your oil pump drive shaft", have never dealt with cold climates before. You're right too about highboys getting respect; I was looking into buying one and the prices are off the charts.
Love that old green girl. Show her some love and fix that front end please. Our family owned a 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT 2 wd with the 360 V-8. Sold it in the 90’s truck had original under 60k miles on it. It was a beast but a very light truck.
Love this stuff! Enjoy the cold starts and going for a ride. Nice scenery out there too. Keep the old rigs going. Nice job with this channel. Will look forward to more.
Hey Brother! Good ole reliable 'Ethel' has never let us down yet! She'll always be part of the video family. Thanks for taking the time to do that for us. For me, this will NEVER get old!
Outstanding! Living in a tropical country it's not easy all the hardship that -55F entails. Had a glimpse of the Alaskan way of life back in 1998, when I travelled by most main state highways and flew to Barrow as well. My favourite US state by far. But it was spring time by then... Nothing compared to deep winter. Keep up the awsome work of preserving old iron. Am into old iron myself, mostly a Ford and IH fellow. 👍💪😎
Yeah I love your cold starts bud I even loved the snowmobiles like watching your show I like it when you're working on the old war vehicles the Power Wagon and the Chevy Studebaker my favorite trucks I like your show and that and you're comical as all get-out Wednesday's I might get up there might run into you but I doubt it. Too old and I don't like the snow that's why I live in Arizona I hope you had a great Christmas and a great happy New Years even though it's late and that but have a good one I enjoy your your show
Ahh, the fluffy new snow smooths out all the dings and dents and coats the rusty hulks in pristine ermine! My only suggestion is you should consider a wooden hood prop for those arctic conditions- avoids the frozen flesh. Great video and superb commentary! Thanks!
BYA, Shows what 50 degrees will do for ya! On your 55 below cold start you couldn't even let out the clutch in neutral! Now you've got wheel spin! Even though my house is at 6,000' we don't get as much snow as you have right now. Even if we added up about 50 winters of snowfall in central New Mexico I think you'd still have at least a foot more. Great Video! I was gonna say cool video but that's too obvious!
OLD FAITHFUL ! You going to fix up the four by four in the spring? Oh right as the Johnny Horton song goes. "When its spring time in Alaska, Its 40 below...
In a decade or more I wanna get out to Alaska, learn my skills, self and trade before I head up there and I'll try to get in good with the locals so they don't mind telling me how to do it right. Help them when I can and keep to myself alone mostly without a care for the world beyond my property and business
My ole 71 f250 wouldn’t start easy at all if it was under 30°F. I was shown to use PB Blaster. Quick snort of that and Half choke, Itll fire up. Man I put that ole furd throufh a lot. Went to MOM’s mud bog in mesick Michigan. Ran it up against modifieds that were running fkin 1200-1500-2000 Horsepower & Nitrous. Like wtf 😳… but believe it or not she came in 5th place outta 150-180+ trucks in rough N tough truck comp. 360 went. Uncle ended up having tons of ole furds and we transplanted a 390 in it. Did few truck / tractor pulls. Stock 390 and running gear, did 116’-21klb’s 😅…
Well the one thing you're right about is you'll probably never ever see a Tesla up where you live with negative 50° cuz I hear they have a big problem charging when they're very col
I remember as a kid after a -40 snap it would overnight warm to zero .man that was t-shirt and tennis shoes weather . Smh Iam moving to the desert. Because I'm sick of Puget sound winters . Don't miss it at all
it's so much nicer to sit here, drink beer and watch you do this chit!!
I feel your struggles shifting through the snow to please the internet haha!
Looks like heaven to me. Cold and snowy
Good truck good battery, LIFE IS GOOD.
That's a loyal old Beast. Didn't even need the torpedo heater. That's loyalty 😝
some days i watch just to see the cold conditions, it helps deal with the heat here. 🤣🤣🤣
Aw yeah! That's one trusty truck! It sure did like that big battery!
"Do you want to see me do it again?" HELL YEAH! Good old Ford bent 8, great engine. I enjoy you humour, get me laughing every time, sometimes out loud even.
Everyone loves old greeny. She's so loyal. 👌
Beautiful Scenery 🎄
Your videos are great. Love your humor. Those old trucks are tough. I really liked your mine video... You did aways back. Keep making the videos...

Old green bean's got a big heart 👍 👍 👍 👍
Nothing like a Alaskan cold start!
Nice start up
Looks like some good snow, we will be up to Lake Louis next weekend for some snowmachine riding.
Hello from Sterling, great videos of old iron!
All that Green Monster wants to do is RUN!!!
Love them old Highboys one tough truck... Enjoy all your videos... Wow that's a lot of snow. Keep up the great work 👍
Time to set up one of those vintage sleds as the cold start support rig
What a good old truck.
Be nice and get her a new air filter.
Good old fe powered ford, gotta love it

Not sure if you're tough or dumb but I love it! Lol good stuff 👏
Damn near had to start the tractor first just to clean the snow off of the hood!😂😂😂🤘🏻👊🏻🤘🏻✌️
The FE manifold leak is real, lol!
You'll break the distributor shaft off in the oil pump? Rofl city boys say the darndest things!
We are all panicking here there could be frost tonight. Great how they start in that climate must be doing it right

I try and keep at least one willys jeep with a hot battery. She's my portable jump box for the fleet! Cheers bud!

Yard truck sounds pretty good
I use a concrete sweep on a painters extension pole to clear snow off the bigger vehicles.
Good old Ethel
mint 👌
Nice! What a difference a battery can make
Sweet!
OLD FAITHFUL ! You going to fix up the four by four in the spring? Oh right as the Johnny Horton song goes. "When its spring time in Alaska, Its 40 below...
You need to get an old Nodwell with all that snow
Now this is an idea I can get with
Make a video rebuilding the Dana!
🤠👍
Any salvage yards around there??....Your area of ALASKA looks a bit like my area of rural northern Minnesota!...Great video!
In a decade or more I wanna get out to Alaska, learn my skills, self and trade before I head up there and I'll try to get in good with the locals so they don't mind telling me how to do it right. Help them when I can and keep to myself alone mostly without a care for the world beyond my property and business
My ole 71 f250 wouldn’t start easy at all if it was under 30°F. I was shown to use PB Blaster. Quick snort of that and Half choke, Itll fire up. Man I put that ole furd throufh a lot.

Did few truck / tractor pulls. Stock 390 and running gear, did 116’-21klb’s 😅…
nice videos bud
Snow is a wonderful thing......When it's on top of a distant mountain or the back of a postcard! Other than that, not so much.
Sissy

Cant find those old rigs like that around here. They all rotted away or got junked.
How many horsepower does the billet prop rod add?
Wassup
Not eatin cheeze its. 🤠👍
Woo hoo, I'm number 70 in likes
I'm telling you old Fords are the best they give you Built-in workbenches on each side of the engine Bay I mean who else does that anymore
I have 2 80s f 250s not high boys by no means but good. I've given some thought about even a 78 or 9 pickup . But parts are just unavailable.
Might a kicked to life with the first battery if it had a choke cable.
She'll still be running strong racking up miles when every Tesla, Bolt, and every other EV has done burned to the ground.
Anyone up ther have a Chevrolet that can pass a cold start test?
CRICKETS…………… I DIDN’T THINK SO!
-2°...you call that a cold start? Them's rookie numbers! Better up yer game! Lol
Better watch my -55 video and tell me that again.
@@BackyardAlaskan I did man. I'm just funnin ya. Love your videos!
@@mironeko3820 Lol cheers. Thanks for watching
Elon couldn't pay me enough to own a tesla. I'd take his money and buy one of these
