Is there any interest in this 2 to 4 barrel adapter? I'll make more if there is 🙂 My apologies that we are often sold out on carb cheater - if you leave your email at this link, we send an email when CC is available again 🙂 carbcheater.myshopify.com/products/carb-cheater-beta-tester-version
That is certainly a one of a kind truck! It's amazing what one can do with some spare parts and some thought. I know you hated to see it go, but I understand about keeping things maintained. You can only drive one at a time! Great work!
There's no chance in hell that I'd ever sell this thing if I ever managed to come across one with the regular bed on it. I'd honestly engine swap it with one of the newer 7.3 Godzilla engines with a modern drivetrain and put some modern suspension on it. One of the coolest trucks ever made.
My opinion, That thing is friggin sharp. Once you got those cap covers off the rims and cut off the fence mufflers, it looked and sounded great. I would have liked to have seen you keep that thing and use it around the property. I always enjoy your videos Mr. Luke. Great content.
Love the welded exhaust hanger in front of the "muffler". Yep, the FE and the FT look almost alike, but not a whole lot interchanges. Not sure if that was really keeping with Ford's slogan "better ideas" or not. FT's are pretty bulletproof, but so were the FE's. You are absolutely right about carburetors and sizing. Back in my day, everyone said that an engine with a 2-barrel carb would be more fuel efficient than any 4-barrel carb and that simply is not true. A properly sized 4-barrel carb will provide much better throttle response and provide good fuel economy so long as you are not constantly pressing the gas pedal to the floor.
Nice rig! Lucky who bought it from you. I wanted to buy it myself. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to find out about the formalities when transporting such a car to Europe. It would be a beautiful and useful addition at my Luxembourg farm. Great work Luke, keep going! Your videos are truly an pleasure to watch! Thank you very much for all the knowledge you've sharing with us. 💋😉👍
I reused my Edelbrock 500cfm carb from my 68 302 and put it right back on after I built it into a 347! Runs great, may be a little undersized but our 67 Mustang convertible is cruiser, not a drag car! We drove it 2,200 mile on power tour last month, got 18mpg
We have watched your channel for a long time. The last 3 or 4, you have put a sense of humor in it, and it is great!! My husband and I really love that. Great video on the good ole truck. Keep putting out these great videos!
It's so much better than the trailer park I used to live in - I am so very thankful. I got here the hard way, but one does appreciate things more in that case - at least I do for sure
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ congratulations on your success with the carb Cheaters 👍 Got a truck in the early eighties with a Holley double pumper that would leak down overnight, replaced it with an Edelbrock 4-barrel and have been buying Edelbrock ever since. Love em! 3500 bucks was way too cheap for that truck. Thanks for another awesome video Luke ✌️🇺🇲
You'd be surprised - it's cool, but it's very much a special ownership case. I bought it for 3 with granted some issues, but it was on marketplace for months
All right! Keep up the videos my man. I know it can be a pain from time to time, especially trying to balance work, carb cheater, and most importantly, family
Dude those horses are beautiful I love horses. Tell her (your wife)Jim from Rockford, IL. Says they are beautiful and that they appear in awesome health as would be expected of a Veterinarian.🐎🐎🐎
Hahaha outstanding! And I'm also including the Fairmont! My dad bought ours new in 1979.....we used it for everything, vacations, hunting, fishing, I took my drivers test in it in 1988. He had it until about 7 years ago and finally gave it up for donation. It had an in line 6 also! Couldn't kill it and couldn't get it stuck. All my buddies in school nicknamed it the "Meat Wagon"! Lol
My dad has a 1982 Ford f600 bucket truck, and for some reason, ever since I first saw it, I wanted to get an f600 of the same style as his and turn it into a big pickup truck. The steering on my dad's bucket truck is also really good like that truck.
International purchase of Carb Cheater ‘who’d have thought’ - well many people. I’ve still to see one fitted to a car in the groups I drive with in Scotland 🏴, but I’m sure there will be some. Great job guys.
Dystopian No other automotive you tube channel would use that term I like the other guys but it is always a fantastic treat to see Uncle Luke come out with a new video. Great work young man!
@@ThunderHead289 Nothing better than a girl on a tractor You are a lucky fella to have her to share the future. Dystopian or otherwise, lets hope for the otherwise
@@hithere7382 Something about a girl on a tractor, being an Allis just makes it more special. Respect to the Eagles but I never bought any of their albums. More of a Bob Seger kinda guy
My first car was a 71 maverick with a 250 inline 6. That was a good car, easy to drive. Luke do an economy paint job on your Maverick. It's good content and the car deserves it. Cheers 🇨🇦
Oh, Man, I can feel the humidity from here. That mower rig looks to be just the right size for her. And, yes, now you know what it is like for those of us who are altitudinally challenged to be able to crawl inside the hood of an old truck. (It does surprise and amaze the urban neighbors when they pull up and see us in there, an added bonus.) Congrats on the Carb Cheater!
@@ThunderHead289 You can make friends with the police this way if they aren't assholes. As a man that likes to work on the things and go hunting, and to the shooting range I used to get called on fairly regularly until they just quit coming and people quit calling about it due to no results.
I like the look of that 2 barrel to 4 barrel adapter, been thinking of putting a 4 barrel on my 66 Montclair with 390, but I don't really want to pull that anchor of an intake! Haha.
Excellent video Thunderhead Luke :) yes lots fun those trucks are and I know lots farmers had those trucks for long time ! Even my late dad fire department station one those truck too for years and got retired in 2010!
"Waylon Wires Old Iron" was at the Good Guys car show.....he's from the state of Washington....also "Baylon Wires Old Iron" from Missouri was there.....
Yes, another fun, entertaining, educational, & truck mods filled episode from thundertits 😄😆! Hello Joe, nice to see you in Luke's vid. again. Sure Luke, your humility about "two idiots" is funny! Youse guys have your head screwed on straight & level, smart fellers, fo sho! One day, when my $hip comes in, I will buy a few CC's myself. Yes, I am interested in an adaptor for 4bbl to 2 bbl manifold. Got a 345 V8 International to CC. Paul from S. Central Tx.
Glad to hear someone say something positive about the Edelbrock AVS. I've been running them for about 10 years and are generally trouble free and pretty easy to work on.
First I want to say how much I sincerely enjoy your videos. I am 60 and enjoy being reminded of things I had almost forgotten. I think the holly 2bbl you started with was a dirt track carb they had a 2bbl 500cfm rule. The reason I think this is the 50 cc accelerator pump. I ordered new similar equipped carb NOS cheap off of ebay 4 yrs. ago. Put it on a 400m ford and fought throttle response issues for quite awhile. Re jet, power valve ect. All adjustments using AFR. gauge.Finally pulled all the stock accelerator pump parts out of another carb and solved it. Had to still run accelerator linkage alittle loose but great throttle response. OK why 500cfm 2bbl on the cheap you ask. 400 m other than new no reasonable$$ manifold options. (2) I tow as much as I can get rolling and shift at 3500 - 4000k 500 cfm is just about the max for 400 cubes at that rpm. P.s yea, that adapter with the 4bbl carb would have been a better solution at the time. I didn't go that route as all the adapter I have used were junk. Warpage ect.
I agree, all the ones you can buy are terrible - I designed this one personally and made it less universal so it would be actually better at what it's supposed to do. I don't blame you for not using one that was on the market - I have tried and it's always a half nightmare to get working without vacuum leaks
Yeah, what a cool truck! Very much one-of-a-kind sort of gem! I too would love it and hate to see it go this is the rub of passion vs. reason. If you let it go for the price on that tag it was a steal! Great stuff as always! Fun episode start to finish.
Sad to see the old truck go to a new home. It definitely sounded better without the mufflers. To bad you didn't have a couple glass packs you could have put on it. The old truck would have sounded perfect. 😊
Im not a ford guy by anymeans. But that F750 is a beautiful truck and well done on cleaning it up. Those slight changes sure helped its look and performance. I myself have made exhaust out of random lengths of stainless steel milk pipeline that utilized the pipeline clamps, which made it easy to go from quiet to loud and rowdy in just a couple of seconds.
I saw you in the Mav today! on 35W in MN. Your car was running nicely and in much better shape than your videos reveal. You passed me and I had to explain to the girlfriend that you are famous in my little world. Good to see that you are actually out there in the real world!
I went to the metallica concert Friday night in Minneapolis 🙂 I'm serious when I say in videos that the maverick is my daily driven car, surprises me everyday how well that car holds together
Oh yeah! I have always oiled paper gaskets on small engines since I tinkered around with them back 60 years when I was 10! I always thought it was make them more compliant and seal better!
I watch the first few seconds of your into and could hear your mind think”I wonder why my back hurts some time”. I love watching your videos and your creative thinking of how to solve a problem and come to a resolution. Reminds me of watching my Grandpas fix their cars in the fifties when I was a youth. Like I always say Luke you have an old soul. And a good heart. Take care. Oh yes and love that truck and wife was right that semi look wheel trims were stupid
I am a big fan of edlebrock carbs. I’ve struggled with getting Holleys to not run fat on a street rod. Not the case with my 1405’s. Fairly little ti keeping and it’ll be running like a top.
Enjoyed the video and Like the f700 first time seeing one and I really like the 76 ford you have I been looking for one nothing can beat the old trucks they were built to do the job and are easy to work on God bless you and take care
thats one awesome truck. ! cool that youre from iowa. i lived in Ames, Des moines, boone, and jefferson for a little. loved going to circle track races every weekend.
Hi Luke! Very cool video sir. Love that truck and think she was worth more, but hey, what do I know. lol Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.
Luke this is a way cool truck and I really wish I could afford to make you an offer on it, but having said all of that, this is your channel and you really don’t have to apologize to anyone for anything. If you have smug self important haters on here who would criticize you for grammar, well then they should really go elsewhere. I would like to say one other thing. Dude quit being so self-deprecating. You’ve got no reason to put yourself or your truck down. Your truck was very cool and you actually know what you are talking about on your channel.
I'm not even a ford guy but everything you done did to your truck is yours ..your ideas of what you like an only you ..is the way to go Ima chevy guy an alot of my cars/trucks gota have a certain look in-between a undercover cop car look//rallycar///luxury..😂is my combo look 👌 me is a 98/97 buick lesabres or park aves ..buh I'm just here to share some love an keep on keeping on . Keep on trucking 🛻 love the show..an became a subscriber 😂right away! Keep us tuned inn
I love your Maverick I have a 75 Maverick, I'm trying to fix up. And I'm trying to get my dad the truck he used to have 77 f100 with a 300 inline 6 👍. Love your channel bro👍👍
Remind me to tell you about the four barrel adapter I made out of wood back in '82 to mount a Rochester four barrel off of a 63 327 to an '81 Buick 231 V6😁
thank you this is a very good video . i like your wifes horses .great to see that big truck ,sad to see the truck gone. keep on bringing great entertainment
I am so devastated, that me and my son watched your first video on this truck. I would have flown to the ends of the earth for him, a 13 yo entrepreneur making money cutting grass, and bought this from you for $10000 and he and my wife drive it back to Georgia. We can’t find trucks like that. He is obsessed with F250”s and everything larger from the 60”s/70”s.
lol. Thanks for the reply. But I really am looking for him. He is like me, he doesn’t like anything new. If you care to let me know if you see anything like that or your old blue let me know. He and me are old Ford fans till the end.
If it wasn’t for the maintenance cost of such a large truck (fuel, tires), I would love to have an old 80s/80s f750. Our water truck and service truck at work are both 82 f750s, and they’re pretty cool.
had a 70 Ford truck with 390. Sticking Valves was its second name. Man that intake is Heavy. 1st time pulling it. The intake weighs 70 pounds. 3rd time its more like 130 pounds. Great to see your carb cheaters selling. I long for a carburetor motor
I don't know why, but seeing you work on this behemoth makes me miss working on Tracked vehicles in the Army. Especially the M88a1 and the Bradley's. Flow master exhaust and air bags two of the first things I would want to do to it lol. That suspension would murder my back.
I still love your content. I hate that the trolls have you gun shy. They’re keyboard cowards that have killed your confidence. Keep that content coming. Tractors, cars, trucks - all good. Hoping to see the gremlin and the beetle in videos soon.
Is there any interest in this 2 to 4 barrel adapter? I'll make more if there is 🙂

Why don't you just get a 391 FT 4 barrel intake for it? They are not that hard to find. I have one on my 73 F 750 dump truck.
Yes for sure.
No doubt inspired by a certain rotted out Satellite...
Ever tried the cheater in a boosted application?

That truck was worth 5 grand easy around here...very cool. Excellent video as always.

Love the welded exhaust hanger in front of the "muffler".

100 percent, absolutely - a properly sized 4 barrel carb is one of those rare "have your cake and eat it too" scenarios
@@ThunderHead289 Especially if you happen to have installed a Carb Cheater!😉
As with having a V8, over a 6, they can be both fuel users and economical.
Ha! "If i ever need a fence with a muffler I'm all ready." That one got me. Look forward to the fence build.
Nice rig! Lucky who bought it from you. I wanted to buy it myself. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to find out about the formalities when transporting such a car to Europe.

Thank you very much for all the knowledge you've sharing with us. 💋😉👍
Wow.That many orders going international. A testament to you and Joe’s product.Also your popularity online.

Enjoyed the video and Like the f700 first time seeing one and I really like the 76 ford you have I been looking for one nothing can beat the old trucks they were built to do the job and are easy to work on God bless you and take care
It was fun meeting you at Good guys you are the same nice guy in person!
thats one awesome truck. ! cool that youre from iowa.
i lived in Ames, Des moines, boone, and jefferson for a little.
loved going to circle track races every weekend.
Hi Luke! Very cool video sir. Love that truck and think she was worth more, but hey, what do I know. lol Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.
I'm not sure what I like would be called beauty either, but it's NOT this. "loosely quoting" best quote I've heard yet Luke. Thank you for that one.
A truck that gets Luke to look SMALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Everyone with thier lift kits and still smaller then the stock height.
Luke this is a way cool truck and I really wish I could afford to make you an offer on it, but having said all of that, this is your channel and you really don’t have to apologize to anyone for anything. If you have smug self important haters on here who would criticize you for grammar, well then they should really go elsewhere.
I would like to say one other thing. Dude quit being so self-deprecating. You’ve got no reason to put yourself or your truck down. Your truck was very cool and you actually know what you are talking about on your channel.
I'm not even a ford guy but everything you done did to your truck is yours ..your ideas of what you like an only you ..is the way to go Ima chevy guy an alot of my cars/trucks gota have a certain look in-between a undercover cop car look//rallycar///luxury..😂is my combo look 👌 me is a 98/97 buick lesabres or park aves ..buh I'm just here to share some love an keep on keeping on . Keep on trucking 🛻 love the show..an became a subscriber 😂right away! Keep us tuned inn
I love your Maverick I have a 75 Maverick, I'm trying to fix up. And I'm trying to get my dad the truck he used to have 77 f100 with a 300 inline 6 👍. Love your channel bro👍👍
I liked your truck. Diffinately thought it was worth more money. You always do great work on your vehicles Luke.
Remind me to tell you about the four barrel adapter I made out of wood back in '82 to mount a Rochester four barrel off of a 63 327 to an '81 Buick 231 V6😁
thank you this is a very good video . i like your wifes horses .great to see that big truck ,sad to see the truck gone. keep on bringing great entertainment
Thank you for the nice comment
I am so devastated, that me and my son watched your first video on this truck. I would have flown to the ends of the earth for him, a 13 yo entrepreneur making money cutting grass, and bought this from you for $10000 and he and my wife drive it back to Georgia. We can’t find trucks like that. He is obsessed with F250”s and everything larger from the 60”s/70”s.
You would have died trying to drive it that far going over 60mph.
A couple unpredictable pumps and you'd be in the ditch with that suspension
lol. Thanks for the reply. But I really am looking for him. He is like me, he doesn’t like anything new. If you care to let me know if you see anything like that or your old blue let me know. He and me are old Ford fans till the end.
Fix, customize and keep. Those rigs are sweet!
I just now realized, I wasn’t subscribed to your channel 🤦♂️. What uh bum….. love that truck man.
I do think the holes in the bumpers you can put the turn signals there so it be more modern and give a different look
If it wasn’t for the maintenance cost of such a large truck (fuel, tires), I would love to have an old 80s/80s f750. Our water truck and service truck at work are both 82 f750s, and they’re pretty cool.
Dang Son, you have some projects in the barn! Nice…
Love the step stool, Luke!
Casual spare bellhousings 🙂
had a 70 Ford truck with 390. Sticking Valves was its second name. Man that intake is Heavy.
1st time pulling it. The intake weighs 70 pounds. 3rd time its more like 130 pounds.
Great to see your carb cheaters selling. I long for a carburetor motor
I don't know why, but seeing you work on this behemoth makes me miss working on Tracked vehicles in the Army. Especially the M88a1 and the Bradley's.
Flow master exhaust and air bags two of the first things I would want to do to it lol. That suspension would murder my back.
Excellent video! Thank you!❤❤❤
I still love your content. I hate that the trolls have you gun shy. They’re keyboard cowards that have killed your confidence. Keep that content coming. Tractors, cars, trucks - all good. Hoping to see the gremlin and the beetle in videos soon.
Love the truck. Keep making it your own. Keep making videos. We'll keep watching.
You gotta love it when you don't need to jack a truck up to work under it!
I just bought a Edelbrock 1806 650cfm like new for $125 for my built 351w for my 67 mustang convertible can't wait to see how she performs!
You got to love a wacky truck that some madman put together
