    Alright, Monsters, you are in for a treat. In this video I bought a 1978 F150 that we didn't realize it was flooded. Witness the chaos and struggles the first few weeks of owning this truck brought.
    I realize my truck has square headlights but it IS a 1978.

    From 1973 to 1982 I worked at the Ford Motor factory in San Jose CA. In the "commercial" end of the plant we built the F1-2-3 pickup trucks 25 per hour 2 shifts 6 days. We shipped them everywhere. The F150 Explorers were gorgeous trucks & Jade green is the color here. We used to wonder where all of the trucks were going as we made them day after day after day. In the factory they were brand new pieces of art with their 6 cylinders, 302, 351, 360, 390 & 460 engines. 2 wheel drives, 4x4 in standard & automatic. It saddens me to see while this unit is a survivor that it ended up as it did. Speaking in behalf of the thousands of workers at the plant we took a lot of pride making those trucks. I really hope that you get this unit running & back to life again. Mook is really cool & wish her the best. PS my name is Gary. Cheers!

      @@Didnt_ask69 no, respect to her on taking up a hobby that is labour intensive and dirty. Most women wouldn't even go near a truck like that because it isn't a shiny Mercedes, let alone put their time and effort into trying to get it in working order. Working on cars is a task that is predominantly taken interest by men, I'm sorry if that is too offensive for your little heart to handle but it's true. To see more women getting into this kind of thing is awesome and that's exactly what the original comment is trying to say too, so stop trying to put a sexist spin on everything zoomer :)

    I had a 78 and when you pop the hood you always have to give her a little tap on the top to get her to pop. The door replacement panels are crazy expensive to buy new so I went to all the local junk yards and bought all the unbroken ones I could find. I had sets of black, tan, red, green and blue. I also had a kick ass head liner with 4.5" round speakers in the cab corners. Those trucks with the split rear window are a leaking rust nightmare. All the split window trucks will start rusting the cab below the window. I replaced the holes in the floor with speed limit signs and other old street and then laid new carpet over the top. If you go with the 302 make sure you get the right fly wheel because some of them are different on the 302 depending on year and the wrong one will cause horrific shaking and vibrations.

    Howdy Mook, make sure you change the rear axle oil, trans oil, coolant, power steering needs to be flushed along with breaks. Good luck. I had a 1964 F250. It was awesome. Have fun.

    I had a 79 Bronco with a 351 modified. And it was definitely nothing to brag about, but after it spun a main bearing we went ahead and put in 400 rods and pistons a decent cam 4 barrel intake with a Holley 650 and dual exhaust with an x-pipe. It was very respectable performing engine after that.

    I hope you flushed the power steering, rear axle and trans/converter. That engine's a keeper, work on the rest of the driveline and you're all set. Grease everything up, oil the hinges, latches...Nice solid F-150 there! Nice work on the brakes, and try to find a junkyard-core carburetor for her? Drop the pan, clean the oil pickup screen.
    Best of luck with your truck, Mook!

I love the matching Green Interior. If you cherry that one back to factory fresh you could name your price,better yet travel the car/truck shows and gather some trophies. And enjoy it for years to come...take it camping and fishing. Keep it alive and out of the scrap yards. Thanks for sharing....happy safe new year 2021 from Shady Hills, Florida. USA.

    My friends, the first thing you should have done after you found that much water in the oil pan, was to find out where it came from. ….. from what I have seen, you should have filled the radiator with as much water as it would take.... then wait 15 min. and check it again. If it is lowered add more water, and wait 15 min. And then look to see if it comes out the oil pan. (you may have a crack inside the engine block and the water is coming from the radiator.)

    • @ComboverChris

    I think this is the first will it run that I heard the expression of need to do no more harm, drain the oil, etc. Very smart!! Most "will it start videos" have trouble with start up because the intake runners are DRY, it takes a ton of fuel to wet things up so that fuel vapor inducts thru the valves.I also heard those negative comments about the 351M and 400 engine family being odd ball and to be avoided. Boy do you have some surprises in store for you. As produced they were dogs, no question. But I have a 78 f-250 4x4 with new process 4 speed and a 400 that I built up, took off the smog crap and that engine is a pulling fool. I used it to tow loaded car hauler to shows and it does not lack for power and durability.

    I've owned many 351m and 400 Fords. Put a small cam, good timing set, cheap fenderwell exit headers, intake and 4 barrel on it. They are strong runners. Although they have lower compression some cam and ignition timing can work wonders. The heads flow well and will bolt right on a Windsor series block, but you need a few mods for cooling.
