Heres a video of the truck warming up after two months of replacing parts to get it running. The spring tune-up should have it running better, getting new tires and wheels for it now getting rid of the big mud tires you see in the video. YouTube - 1957 F100 272 V8

Anthony ... sweet sounding motor.

 

Very Cool Thread Idea; I made a video today, now how about telling me how to post it here. It is definetly in my computer. I didn't get it onto you tube yet or here, but I'm trying. How about some help?

 

How I did it was I uploaded it to youtube, and then I went to play it on youtube, copied the link and pasted it into the FTE thread I started. It actually put the video in the thread which I thought was cool.

 

Yeah Reed thats what I figured, go through you tube. I haven't been able to get into my account there today. Thanks, this thread is a great idea.

 

Thanks man, can't wait to see your truck!

 

Reed,
Mine is just a work horse F5, I been fixing up very slowly. It runs good and is pretty quiet. But when I listened to my video it ran clankyer than I thought. Stay tuned, I didn't grow up with computers. Oh, check my gallery.

 

Great videos guys. Keep em coming! Ricksta56 nice truck man!

 

Thanks Reed;

A friend helped me out, Enjoy.
Well anyway if your on you tube mine is at; Rick's 51 Ford.
I fixed the link, I had typed it in wrong, Enjoy.

 

bump to top, I'd love to see/hear some of the big blocks you guys have too too!!

 

Nice trucks/ engines guys. Especially love that Fire Patrol so awesome!!!

here's my 52 F-6 I saved from the scrapper, spent 20 minutes under the hood and had it running.



and a random Flathead V8 that I was going to run in my 51 F-1 before I had a 49 Merc 8CM rebuilt for it. so now this one is just taking up garage space until i find it a new home.

Bump to top

 

Bump again

 

These old trucks sure do have a sound of their own. I had planned on swapping out my engine for a 351w or something later on, but after I had it up and really running, there will always be a Y-Block under the hood
