I enjoy all your videos very much. This was the best so far with the boys learning from Dad. You and you wife are doing a great job. I still get to work with my kids on occasion. Enjoy them while they are young. They grow up really fast. And, i missed coming to Tucson to see your drag races. Just a week too late. Maybe next time
14:52 I’ve never seen someone put it as the Micheal Jackson but it’s so true
It’s great seeing you teach your kids not just using them for labor…”so what does that tell us, it’s had a u joint before…”
That's when you grow Up with 95 Oktane in your blood
Yup. I'd hire the Bieri brothers to help me pull an engine. You are teaching those young men well, Derek!
Huge fan of your TV show! But after watching this huge fan of you as a person and father! Much love to you and your family.
Nice straight six you can’t destroy those things I have one in my 1988 Ford Econoline E350 van 4.9 L Dana 70 with a C6 transmission.
I loved your video I recently traded a 2002 Honda vtx1800 for this exact truck and it runs just needs a bit TLC amazing video really gets me motivated to see how it will turn out
Much respect from Australia mate I have just saved one the same but short bed yellow
I’m truly amazed that someone was able to kill that 300 before you got a hold of it and I know it wasn’t dead but it was in need of a rebuild and that’s basically unheard of for a Ford 300 Inline 6. I had a 1990 model when I was in the Army and when when I got out and drove that thing back and forth cross country repeatedly numerous times and and that’s how I managed to have something like 470K miles on it when I traded it in during Cash for Clunkers. Now that truck had like 95K on it when I got it and I put the rest on it but never rebuilt the engine, had to replace the clutch several times then starter alternator water pump type stuff repeatedly but that truck was still running strong when I traded it in but the chassis and body were rusting to bits to the point where the doors flapped when you shut them because they were only connected up top and I would have been Fred Flintstoning it if it wasn’t for the road construction signs acquired from the scrapyard to cover the gaping holes and the frame was about as strong as a politicians backbone which is why I had to get rid of it even though mechanically it still ran perfectly.
So what the hell happened to that poor 300 in that truck of yours, run without oil or enough oil maybe because they do tend to leak a little bit at the rear main but nothing to worry about if you keep an eye on the level and add oil when needed
Wondering what the SHINE JUICE is?? I have a dried up pantina factory paint 1965 Fairlane and would love to get that finish on it as well.
Kid took a driveshaft to the juggler and didn't make a peep. Hes tough.
I have been looking around for a nice old Ford like that.
What I desperately want is one with the flair side it step side bed.
I love those old trucks.
I had a 68 with a 300 that accidentally got towed in gear once. wiring melted. Dad parked it. 20 years later i put on wires, new oil, plugs, cleaned the points, it fired. smoked like a chimney and puffed out the cap like that. two cyl had broken rings and one had a hole burnt in the piston. But it did run.
Love that you're rebuilding the 300. V8 swaps are dime a dozen, hardly anyone actually takes the time to do a nice rebuild on a 6.
A guy didn’t even know another guy did giveaways. But also, thank goodness I have Max. I’d never heard of VGG and I’m hooked. Love your work guy!
Bentley shaking his head in approval at "the plan is, boys. i don't have one" cracked me up! i love this channel
A feller admires that you dont have to yell at your sons too much when trying to teach them some wrenching skills, but don't break that tradition completely hahaha.
Cool 😎
ARE YOU going to treat the rust on the frame? If you are going for longevity, I would.
In my eyes, there are two main failures when it comes to rust, the body and the frame.
I was hit with reality when My 86 k10 came out of storage with an unbelieveable amount
of rust, and quite a bit of damage from the rust. Mind you, this was a truck that I really
liked, still do.
The mechanic took one look at it and said it is going on the rack RIGHT NOW for a
frame inspection. The result was the frame had heavy surface rust but was still strong
and safe, almost like new.
I've tried two treatments to get the frame rust under control.
— POR15 was my first attempt. On the fence on the results. It is good if the metal is not completely
rust covered, like new metal, you prep and coat and it seems to hold up very well. but for my
frame, it didn't do well, could have been my fault, I was new to using it.
— my second attack was using Mineral OIL. Spray or shoot on the frame, back side body areas,
in the fender above the wheel wells, corners inside doors in the bottom metal pinch areas,
Everywhere including suspension parts, adjustment bolts, oil pan, pumpkin cover.
What I found was the rust is really porus…. the Mineral Oil will seep into the rust and it keeps
going, covering it all, starving the rust from air and moisture, effectively stopping the rust attack.
The metal turns a dark color making it clear where you missed. Maybe not what one would do
to a show car but if you want your vehicle to last… this'll do it.
The other rust problem is the body. Not just the visible places but behind the body, in those hidden
cavities. The rust will show it's ugly presence if you can't find it and treat it.
Just what i have learned —
Had to stop watching because of the way he kept saying RADjiator and CheveroLET… ugh! Nails on a chalkboard 😵💫
Yet another video of a dad being a great dad. That just happens to have a vehicle in it.
Favorite engine is the 300 for me.
Had the driveshaft all up in Brads grill 😂
Man my dads old 100 went to Canada many times and was rebuilt 3times man this brings back memories😊
Definitely intake swap to a 4 barrel carb
Got the little humans working!!!!
Love the dynamic in the Bieri family <3
This Ford F100 has given a ton of awesome information for my build episodes. You are the man!
Thanks!
Awesome
The Ford 300 engine is a torque monster. I was watching engine biuld they stuck a turbo on one and they were getting over 500 lb-ft of torque out of it. They put duel header and high inttake and it might of forged pistons but it produces crazy torque
my dad bought one of these new when i was about 4 he drove it till i was 16 and getting my own license by then it was pretty much rotted i remember seeing the highway through the floor it had gotten so bad. my dad had modified his white f100 so with the camper roof was about a foot higher then usal.
I love this stuff. I've always wanted to really understand all the workings of a vehicle. Wish I could do all this stuff with direction and under supervision. Also wish I would have see this video earlier, would have definitely entered to win this one. My dad had a 78, I'll have one some day. Thanks for the great content!
It’s refreshing to see you polite to your kids. Thanking them for their help. My dad never did that!
In all of that I loved my dad!
My first car was a 95 f150 w a 300 i6. The thing has 250k when I bought it, an exhaust leak, but ran like a champ and had crazy torque lol. I’ll never forget it
Great to see you working with your boys ; could lead to the next generation of car enthusiasts
they will grow up to be a real men not someone mixed up about it if you know what i mean 😁
That truck had Bradley written all over it. He should own this one. I’ll try hard to win this truck and gift it to Brad 👍🏻✌🏻
Nice work guys
