Thats COOOOOL!!!! LOVE IT!!!

I had a 41 GMC express delivery big pickup for over 30 years , then sold it. I put a wrecker and snow plow on it . I also put a 302 cid six cylinder GM engine with a 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust in it . That had lots of power . I still have the intake/ exhaust manifold with the 4 barrel carb and the cam and lifters yet . Like having V 8 power with a 6 cyl . Wish I would have had a 3 speed aux trans like your truck has . Nice Truck .

Tenho 76 anos. Sou de 1947. Esse lendário caminhão é um ano antes de eu vir. ELE TEM HISTÓRIAS LONGAS E INTERESSANTES. Foi o único caminhão que desbravou o interiorzao de Goiás. Na época só se transportava o BÁSICO. As mercadorias principais era : ferramentas. Cordas. Sal. Kerosene jacaré lata de 20 litros. Tecidos. Bebidas açúcar e algumas coisinhas a mais. Era um caminhão importante. Imponente. Seu chofer 's eram vistos como verdadeiros heróis. Namoravam as mulheres mais bonitas da cidade.

Good job. I watched my Dad load many machines like that back in the day.

Love it! Could you get a 2 speed rear end in those trucks? That would be really cool to see in operation.

Could listen to you make that sweet ol' girl earn her keep all day. Just pure music to my ears.

Oh man, that was great! I could listen to that sweet music all day!

Love it. Sounds like its in great shape!

That truck sounds great. Looks like you are double clutching - is the transmission non-sync? I've got a 53 but its the SM-420 with syncro. I also see you shifting another gearshift. Is that the way the 2 speed axle worked on the pre 47 chevy trucks?

Excellent video, that old engine pulls like a school boy.

Won’t your clutch wear out twice as fast if you use it twice as much though ? Or do you float the gears with a tachometer?

Just goes to show you don't need a big block V8 to get the job done. And great to have all those gears to work with. The old stovebolt engines were a workhorse. The 235 on a good day puts out about 90HP by today's standards. I suppose in the heyday of this truck if you got it up to 45 or 50 you were moving right along. 55 is certainly fast enough. And good to have plenty of room. Have you done anything with the engine to increase HP? Have you upgraded anything, such as brakes? Nice truck. And I really like hearing the music in those old gears.

Are you floating the gears?

WOW!

Man it feels good to ride along w a real truck driver again! Not many can make it that smooth anymore. Takes me back to trips w Dad.

what was the engine out of? what do u recon the 46 value is?

How many gears ⚙ 🤔 r there

that's a tough looking rig bud!👍

Gotta love the comments on these videos. There's a lot of respect for these old trucks. That auxiliary box is gear so well with the 4 speed I kinda want one for my truck now.

bom

This takes me back to my childhood; I could listen to this all day long! Thanks for the video!

Talk about stacking hay! My allergies are taking over.

Were near Bristol Tennessee we have few of these still reliable one our new pos chevrolet trucks 6.2 gas engine crapped out at 3k miles I pulled it to dealership with my 50 one ton GMC threw them the keys said fix it and my money back .. il. Replace it with the 57 Truck I just purchased..... this is good therapy for the old gal everything gets worked i know video is a 2016 .... how about a update On your old trucks thanks for sharing this video. We need new one ..

Engine pulling good.

Magnificent! 😀

I feel bad for the old fella in the blue shirt. Looks like he needs knee replacements. I’m dreading the future as a result of my years of such work and bad knees since I was 11.

That lumber yard looks like Mcoys in floresville Texas

Looks like Texas.

Where are you located at? Do you do any work in Oklahoma?

Belo caminhão 1946

I like the Dodge. Not many around

The sound of the straight cut gears is music to my ears!

And that's how you shift a 4 x 3!! Love the sound of that Warner T9 crash box 4 speed. I've spent many happy hours behind the wheel of a "Babbit Banger" and that 4 speed! It's great that you got the close ratio Brownie.

'Wound up to 55 mph.' Yep, that sounds about right! That auxiliary 3 speed Spicer makes it a little easier on the old dipper engine when you get into the taller gears. I had a late '47 (later body style) 1/2 ton with a 216 and a 4 speed. It would run about 60 without over-revving it.😉 Does yours still have the iron pistons or the newer weighted aluminum slugs? Mine had been changed out shortly before I got it, and all the babbit bearings re-poured and clearanced.

Oilfields best tool

I have a '43 Chevy 4400 1.5 ton fire truck. Yours sounds good with that aux. transmission. Mine is the original 216 / 4 speed / Eaton 6.17 rear. Thanks!

What are those electrics?

What Size rolls of hay? Awesome truck!!!!

I love the way that truck sounds,7 sp trans?

Nice old truck and its great that you are not afraid to use like it was built for. When I was a kid my Father had one of these with a dump bed. It was black with a green bed. It always seemed to struggle when it was loaded. It just had the one gear shift, the parking brake and a lever to dump the bed on the floor. When it got on a hard pull in compound all three levers would sway back and forth in time with the gear whine as if they were dancing. Hauled a lot of coal for many different people because at the time that was the main source of heat in this part of the world anyway.

Love this video :) I love that you work the truck the way it was built to be worked :)

What gearbox has the old chev got in it?

Where in Texas are you?

Excellent video, good to see a driver who knows how to change gears.

nice trailer and truck/cat

Very nice work guys!

nice fun yard art!!!!!!!!!

Nice engine and setup.

Love it! Can you please make a couple where we could see you using the floor starter on a cold start? I'm in love with that truck lol

I wish you'd make a couple cold starts with this view. Would love to see the floor starter in action
