  • Will this 1931 Model AA dump truck run after setting for over 75 years without the hood and after being in a wreck over 75 years ago
    This truck was in a salvage yard about 45 years ago when it was purchased for yard art, and for the past 45 years, it was used as your art for a construction business until I bought the truck we had to change the camshaft, change the transmission and clutch to get this old truck running after it set for over 75 years

    Love these videos. No fancy shop with expensive lifts. No pile of new parts worth thousands of dollars. Just a guy with his tools and next thing you know it's running.

      Indeed. I did feel a bit sorry for him due to all that mud and puddles of water. Dry ground makes a much more pleasant working environment. But at least nothing on the ground would catch fire when it was like that!
