I love how you used an adjustable wrench for a micrometer. Genius.
Yeah I usually just use metric wrenches myself.
My adjustable wrenches are highly inaccurate. 😂
Working and talking with both hands busy and a smoke in your mouth....a man's man. Just a good ol' boy working on a good ol' car. Keep wrenching that old iron, brother.
Thanks man
Love these old Torinos! This is real life muscle cars! Not everything is all shiny underneath!
Finally!! A gear head UA-camr for the rest of us!! No free parts from sponsors. No lifts. Harbor Fright floor jack. Using an adjustable wrench as a micrometer. Using a muffler bracket as a tape measure. I can totally relate. The only thing you missed was knocking the throw-out bearing off the clutch arm a hundred times😤
That did happen lol
With you all the way
That Torino is cool as hell, I honestly love the 70-73 Torino fastbacks. It’ll be really cool when it’s finished, keep up the good work.
Thanks for keeping it real for us po folks.....Some YT channels are ruined by big money.
It's out of control.
How's about we start a UA-cam star walk of fame sidewalk somewhere in USA .
Will be trillion hair's in no time lol
Can't stand channels that do that. It has its time and place, just not EVERY video
@@PoleBarnGarage i agree Dalton
@@PoleBarnGarage it discourages the younger generation. I’m not a fan myself.
Yeah, let's drop a $6,000 motor with a $4,000 transmission into a car because we can all afford that right. With a wall of tools that they've never even touched or used before
Reminds me flatbacking a powerglide into my chevelle when I was 15 in a gravel driveway.makes you appreciate the right tools when you have them.
Did the same with my 65 impala.age- 16.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT THERE ARE THREE GENERATIONS OF HAPPY FUN INFLUENCE, SO VERY COOL!!! (the son and grandson cruising grandpa's hot rod is awesome)
BEST WAY TO START A SATURDAY MORNING!! WITH A MEMBERS ONLY VIDEO!!
Thanks for being one!
Heartwarming to see you sharing your mechanical knowledge with JD that your dad shared with you. That's what makes young people understand how hard work pays off for a lifetime.
I had a 70 429SCJ back in 1978. Remember replacing the pilot bearing for the top loader 4 spd the same as you did! Laying on my back with just jack stands and the floor jack struggling to get it out and back in without killing myself! 🤣
I laughed out loud at the white picnic table of parts and the wall of bolts. Keep doing what you are doing young man
I can't afford bailing wire. I use electric fence wire from Tractor Supply. Great tensile strength too. 😂 Now my lower back hurt just from watching all that trashing around.
Baling wire was the first duck tape.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Need a shirt that says WHERE'S JD ???
Brings back nightmares lol! Its been a few years since I've changed a transmission but I remember the fun...not! At least someone is giving you a hand. Makes it a little easier or less painful lol! Love the torino
Thanks for taken-us with u while u test-drive ur Dad's 70 Torino and making-it back home with very little Brakes.
I love it you guys. It's a great idea having JD around keeping that Dalton kid out of trouble...
Man that is one cool looking Torino!! And that's what I like about your channel you work on cars like i do. No high dollar parts or tools just get down and dirty and get it done, Can't wait to see what you do next with the Torino and with the Rollrunner.
This channel is highly underrated x 2. I love how you’re on the ground… I’m a Jack and Jack stands guy too. My channel can’t afford a lift. Honestly, you don’t need them. Nicely done Dalton.
Been doing it that way forever, even if I could afford it I wouldn't use it on the channel. Glad we can represent the regular dude
That car brings back memories. My best friend in high school had a 70 Torino SCJ (Super Cobra Jet) 429 4-speed. That thing was a beast, and he beat on it hard! What a fun car!
God I love your channel!!!
It makes me remember my mid to late teens back in the 80s
You fix things like I did back then
Thanks for bringing back great memories for me
On a side note
Nice silver solstice in the driveway
What’s the story on that
I have two
Gxps 08 and a 09
Absolutely love them
Thanks for sharing
Love and god bless you and yours
Jeff
Mom's driver
Like taking a trip down Memory lane watching the stuff that transmission in that 70 Torino I have done that exact job many many times when I was a teenager. How I miss my 70 Cobra Torino.
I love the honesty. Watched you and Kevin at the. Kansas race . what an awesome looking time. Keep up the great work and sarcasm
thanks!!!
Nice job with the installation.
Looks fun.
Take care, Ed.
Great video! Little tip for cutting bolts, if you can put a nut on it before cutting it, that way the nut will clean up the threads when you take it off. That 4 speed should be a great upgrade though!
I wish I had an assistant/copilot that completely agreed with me and hyped up every decision I made as a good one. lol You two are great. :)
Love that car. Hope you can get the gremlins out. Thanks for Sharing!
Yes ! Love the Torino! Great looking car. By the way it is AMERICAN! Mom's car is looking right!!!
You got that Wight Dolton it very nice to see father son grandfather to work these old but great American car
Keep making them amd i will keep watching them
That is was an interesting experience. Never watched this been done before. Thanks bro
I am not a Ford fan, but l really like those early fastback Torinos. Very cool.
I had a 71 GT and it was a beast. Love this one. Great videos.
Thanks!
My 71 Torino Gt was Grabber blue with the white laser stripe running down the side. I put a set of chrome reverse wheels with the FORD dog dish wheel covers.
On my way to work and I had to stop and watch another awesome video. God Bless y'all
Thanks for watching buddy
Felt so sorry for the clutch!!!
Hahahahaha !!!! 😆🤣🤣🤣
I genuinely enjoy your , self depreciating humor ....... LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
But seriously 😐 I do appreciate your real world experiences while wrenching on these projects 🔧⚙🔩🪛
Thanks for the inspiration. I made two purchases today....a new socket set from harbor frieght and a pole barn hat and sticker. How could I go wrong. And, priced impliment paint from tractor supply for painting the van this winter. Sure is cheaper than auto paint. 50 verses 300.
Plus you can drive through a cornfield with nary a scratch
Yeah Dalton, good upload. would certainly watch more of this project. Stay safe.
Thank God a REAL channel that shows what we, the REAL people go through with REAL projects! Fk yeah! IM ON BOARD! Thank you! Keep up the great work!
You actually made my heart skip a beat looking at those jack stands! Moses!😮
You definitely reminded me of the olden days when we did it on our backs great content oh yeah the shifter heated up and bend it case closed 🏁🏁🏴☠️
I think Hurst Comp plus..
@@PoleBarnGarage I thought you said you were going doing cheap cheap competition plus go for at least 500 bucks or better what's so cheap that you talking about
Hell yeah... I have a 1970 Formal Roof Torino... I have already been through all of this on my car over the last 6 years... We have MANY days of horrible 105-109 hot weather and I am 56, AND working alone... For mine I found low mileage climate controlled original leaf springs from a car wrecked in 1971 or 2. THen I got Monroe Load Handler coil over shocks for a Ranchero which are two inches longer, removed the lower eyes, and welded the bayonet ends onto them from another set of old shocks. Since I lifted the back end with McBay shackles as well, the length difference was all but eliminated. I've been dreaming of owning a 70-71 Torino since I was in 9th grade, and finally got it in 2017. I JUST fired up the Blueprint crate engine today... No feeling better than that. It sounds evil with long tube open headers, hehe.
OH!! Probably too late, but that no crank thing is probably the neutral safety witch, and possibly also the block ground to the firewall. I had that dim everything but no action from both.
LOL, thank you for making a leaky anything have a positive reason for leaking.
I don't know about positive, but at least neutral
Really enjoyed the video!! Thank you!!
Always fun and always educational!! Still the best channel on you tube!!
I enjoy your channel, but the man with the white picnic tables put a lot of time and hard work to be successful.
He and his Family have my respect.
The holey GOAT brought me to the channel. My 70.5 Falcon, Torino, brought me here. Subscribed
Awesome! I'll have to try to go more on it
Excellent swap!!
thanks for keeping it real. You should do a joint project with this and that garage.
I'd love to, tried to buy that Ford wagon from him
Nice use of the ol' Moscow micrometer. AKA Tijuana socket set.
Genius
That cup to catch oil on the jack is just pure genius.
Also I think 4 speed cars use a left hand speedometer gear instead of the right hand one used in the three speed.
If you get the ignition switch for a 71-73 mustang you should just have to cut the harness connector and re use your old one. since someones already be in there hacking you probably wont have to butcher anything to make it work.
I think that's what someone has done already. Or tried to
I love that u dos it like all of us can do in our garage, makes me feel at same page as u, sor back and a lot of wondering of ho is this possible lol
Damn right.
Nice to see real people doing real things.
The old crescent brand caliper, I've used it many times myself
I'm pretty sure for that year model, coat hangers and bailing wire were the correct way they were assembled from the factory lol love the channel God bless
Great build, the ' old fashioned way '.
The Torino is gonna be nice with a 4spd!!!
Great job. Sweet ride.
Good video looks like the new 4 speed works good
I rung the bell a long time ago but i joined the low buck last week and NOW all of the older videos are lining up. Just letting you know.
Weird!
I just recently got my first car. It's a 1973 gran torino sport with a 351 cobra jet. We got lucky and the seller didn't even know it was a cobra jet. It needs a LOT of work but im slowly getting things done on it. My dads first car was a q-code torino too. His was a 72 and it is my profile picture
Another great do-it-yourself show transmission done check and see if the brake caliper hose is collapsed easy fix I know it's opening up a can of worms but you like fishing🤗
It'll get a full brake rebuild
Ran a T10 in my late model stock for many years.....always outlasted the Frakl;in quick change rear ends.
She's a keeper!.
Get the shifter out and adjust it's angle of dangle with the hot spanner. Or cut a chunk out out the dash. Problem solved 😎
That jack stand had me nervous. 😬😳
keeping it real, love the car and your sons involvement is great. I enjoy watching your content.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like a knuckle busting good time 👍
Great job. In your content. Your real. True. An just like the average guy. I use what I have at the time as well it's what we need to do to get working. Awesome!!!
I subscribed to your channel 6 weeks ago. Now I'm going back and catching up on the ones I missed.
Hammers the throttle and says what was that grinding? Spark knock that was pre-ignition my friend. Needs a little higher octane or pull a couple degrees timing. I want a Torino so bad and someone to work on it for free for me. Great content man, keep up the good work.
My friend had one, I liked it.
Love the torino! fun channel, love your videos good work yall
I watch every video, always check the channel for new vids! keep on rockin!
Thanks!
More torino videos please .love a 1970 GT 😂
I really enjoy this channel...you must be a magician to get some of these working
By the way, I love the Judas Priests Rob Halford neck spike coming through the floor boards. Whoever did that, I could drink with.
Thats one tough looking car👍
I use the same electric impact at work with the same battery! Love me some rye-ob1.
Just came across your channel, recommended by mortski. I like it so far subd and liked. Keep it comin and good luck with your channel.
Thanks!
We have been known to use floor jacks to change semi trannys. Granted they are heavy duty but still sketch. I did an 18 spd with a floor jack once
All those self-tappers sticking through the floor makes it look like you're working inside an iron maiden!
I like extra challenge
The license plate floor patch is approved!
Sending
I like the part where he uses the adjustable hammer as a micrometer lol
Yea nothing about those sponsored parts do anything for me. I know it’s bound to work for the companies but for the life of me I don’t get it. What would make me wanna run out buy something just because a UA-camr got it free. Damndist thing I ever seen.
Edit. I was actually saving money for a Holly Sniper. Then vicegrip said he got about 10 of them for free while he was putting one a UA-camrs truck from Canada. I’m trying to save money for one while they giving them to people who can afford to buy it. I scraped the plan and bought a new Motorcraft for my 390. It’s running perfect and I had money left over.
That motorcraft will run until the end of time with the occasional pump diaphragm and smack by blunt object
Not a Ford fan but be interesting to see how it comes along.
Thanks for sharing this video with us
easy on dat clutch ol buddy! lol
jr: what's that smell?
Dalton: clutch and or brakes, let's keep drivin it! hahahahahahahaha!!!!
I'm going with brakes since they failed 2 seconds later
glorious self tappers showing through the bottom 3:52
Man this is my favorite year of Torino awesome car I have a 1968 gt
I've done this and it's NOT easy, at all, almost easier to pull the engine out!!!
Those cast iron guys are fat little suckers
A buddy of mine in the Marines bought one of those,, it was super fast..😁
We towed one in during first gas crisis in 70s had blown engine owner scrapped it so we. Stripped it took hidden headlights rear tails and spoilers. Hood..
I even enjoyed this video more the second time as its just a great monolog running along... in other words, I do talk to myself when working through the problems
New to your channel as a subscriber! Nice cars !
Well, they might be someday!
That was my first car at14 still have the trunk inserts and cowl vent grilling 58 now wish I still had that car
Top Loader 4spd, 351C 4V, 9" w/3.50:1 trac Lok, do it that way. Or do a 71-73 Cougar XR7, there really neat!!
Would be nice, but I'm not made of money. The t-10 is good enough!
Cool Torino. I have a lead om a 1970 GT 351c now. Looking at it next week. What do you think would be a fair price to pay for it? Mostly solid,runs and drives. Needs paint and interior.
Get a different shifter, or clearance the dash for the knob - right now the build could go either way....
Different shifter, not going to butcher the dash
I dailyed a 71 Torino 500, with 70 GT hood, tail lights, console and seats for 10 years
I had ,, till it got T boned a 1970 Torino fast back with roll back rear windows ,,, 302 automatic , sky blue ,, I absolutely love those cars ,,, and I miss mine ,,,,
My Dad always said all that you needed to work on fords was vice grips bailing wire and some creative cussing
