The oil in the air filter is because it's what's called an oil bath filter! They worked very well but were messy!

These V8 F500, F600, F700, and F750, Including the AT4, AT5, AT6, onwards, Dodge box trucks were very widely used here in Australia, back in the late 60's and 70's, they would travel at high speed, non stop between cities during the night, doing overnight express parcel work, when one of these had a smash, they would go up in a ball of flames, considering the amount of fuel that they had onboard, and being petrol trucks.. these were the sports cars of the trucking era at the time, up and down hills like they didn't exist, rounding up cars at sometimes dangerous speeds.. but.. all good things come to end end, cops made sure of that.. seeing that truck, just brought back many memories..🙂🙂🙂

I rented a U-Haul in the late 90s that had a 3-on-the-tree. The guy at the lot was relieved I was taking it for a one-way because not a lot of people could drive it and he wanted it gone.

Revisiting this video where Chris learns about oil bath filters and WW (ostomy!) Bags! So great seeing young guns learning something new while teaching us OGs something new! 😊😊

never saw this episode been watching past year or more. fun to see old stuff pop up

[BPantherPink]

If there ever was an automobile whisperer...Chris would be he !! ❤

Fair market value - max $1500 in that condition. I've got a 1969 F-600 with a 16" grain/dump box (in pristine condition, been in the family for over 40 years.) so I am somewhat familiar with them, that is a hydro-boost brake system and that cannister behind the seat is the breather, makes a cool fart sound when you mash on the whoa pedal.

I was rented a 26Ft Manual Transmission U-Haul in the late 1980's, and that thing was a beast and a survivor! Unsynchronized 1st gear was a challenge!

It's like watching It's Always Sunny but Dennis is actually doing something productive and he's not a sociopath.

[TacoTraveller]

Back in 2009-10 a friend of mine needed to move. He worked for Penske at the time. He walked into the local office and asked for a truck (he worked at a different location). They threw him the keys to an International with a manual transmission and air brakes. He’s never driven a stick before in his life! It only took one short trip with him driving that I knew I needed to take over!

[bkpleng]

I'm always impressed with how much effort you put into getting it moving. Watching all the way from Poland. Keep saving them Chris 👍

[noraodonnell]

I worked for UHaul from 04 to 09. I was there when the last of the 26 foot 86/87/88 International S1600 manuals were being phased out. By the time I left, all of them were gone, but when I started they constituted like 60% of the large truck fleet. IIRC the last ones I knew of were gone around 08. That was not that long ago.

If people wanted to rent a big truck, that was what they got, and that was not that long ago. You had to find a friend who could drive it for you if you couldn't do it yourself. I would even give lessons in the parking lot.

One of the stores north of Philly has 3 old trucks like this that are kept in special conditions in a shed specifically to be rented out for period piece movies from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. They're pristine. So beautiful to see, and to see running.

EDIT: Not surprised to see the box is in good shape. They used to make those out of airplane-grade aluminum. Now they use particle board.

Glad you got this Ex U-haul Ford truck revived I really love watching these Revival videos

[BRTowe]

Some of the bigger UHauls were manual transmissions up until at least the mid to late 90s, because i can remember my parents renting one that was a stick shift.

[hoseclampehhh]

Great job, I’d see $1250-1500 for that truck as generous. It needs everything, except an engine and clutch by the looks of it. Definitely more episodes. Cheers!.

5.4 comment made me laugh (I snapped 5 out of 8 plugs in my triton) Great video, love the channel!

[KristyDawn]

Chris, you are absolutely amazing! When I first started watching the video, I thought that there was no way it was going to start. Kudos to you, buddy. You are definitely 'The Man"! 👍

[samuelhadley]

That's a beautiful state you're in. I love all of the trash in the middle of the road it gives it a very respected feeling. 🤔🤣😂🤣😂😝😜🤪🤠👍🇺🇲

[craigcampbell]

I remember renting a 1976 U-Haul with a manual transmission in 1992. They would rent them for local moves only at that point, but it was pretty damn cool to drive a U-haul with a stickshift.

[rodfatherschopshop]

I’m over the bridge and saw this on fb and thought 3 grand was crazy and now that I really saw it it’s definitely crazy. I’m thinking &1000-1500 maybe? Limited use and a ton of money to fix and get it moved out of there. He’d do better selling the cab and doghouse. Nice work getting it running!😎🇺🇸
