I haven't bought all that much from them, but they have my email address - just got an email the other day - seems like they got bought by carparts.com
That truck is every boy's dream! I am impressed with the tires that held air for 20 years. I have a hard time finding new ones that will hold air for 20 months.
Sounds like a great motor that’s been sitting for that long. It’s nice to see just a pcv valve and an oil breather cap, it was so simple then. It will turn out to be a good ride.
My Fatherinlaw had a dodge with 318. Back when #2 was still 35¢ a gallon & gasoline got to be 3-4 X that much he came up with a idea. Run truck to near or empty tank. Put 5 gallon of gasoline in tank then fill up with #2 fuel oil. He'd do three tanks this way then fourth one he'd fill alway with gasoline. Did this a long time. Lost little power but not much, was geared quite low to begin with. Worked a forty hour job n milked average of 36-42 holsteins plus replacement heifers pretty much alone except during hay season. Start little hard on 20° days but always amazed me. Body finally rusted off around 200k . Tires, brakes, alternator normal tune up parts & them ballast resistor's they used in coil circuit . Bout all he did to it. Every week hauled a ton of feed 20 some miles home for those years. Can't remember the year, before catalytic converter's though, or he removed it.
Brian, when I was a kid my brother and sisters glued themselves to Sears and Monkey Wards catalogues. I, on the other hand spent my time in the JC Whitney catalog. Amazing company in its heyday.
Actually Brian, not only could you build a CJ-5 from JC Whitney parts but a true Willys Mutt Jeep of WW - 2 Vintage. That was my initial objective in the late 1950s. That iconic Jeep was my dream. I never accomplished it because I was poor and collecting returnable pop bottles, scrap iron, and store coupons never produced the cash for the complete construction of the Willys vehicle although I did buy many parts including the four cylinder engine, I did however, acquire a 1943 Jeepster which was a small truck version of the Mutt Jeep but with a much longer wheel base. I drove it for several years . Considering that short wheel base on the Willys WW-2 Jeep it was later considered by the powers that be to have too short a wheel base to be safe so the government banned the licensing for road travel. I did come across one in the late eighties that a local mechanic shop use for various tasks such as snow removal with a blade mounted on the front but the guy wouldn’t sell it. In Vietnam I had the extreme privilege of being assigned as a Jeep driver for our Lieutenant. It was my delight to drive that Jeep though it was actually made by the Ford motor company. Vietnam and it’s rough, dirty environment was especially hard on vehicles. At one point the transfer case locked up on my Jeep. I was faced with no Jeep, being on foot and begging for a ride. That night myself and one other mechanic snuck into the motor pool and removed the transfer case from the company commanders Jeep and put in mine. We took my destroyed transfer case and put it in his Jeep. The end result was the company commander was walking and I was riding high! Lol
bcbloc02 Brian, jeeps were a dime a dozen in Vietnam. The US shipped so many over there every company motor pool had seven or eight when the TOE designated just two or at most three. My Jeep was rather old in comparison to some so my canvas seat pads and canvas top was ragged. My lieutenant had a meeting with some officials near the loading docks on the Saigon river just downstream from the city. While I was waiting for him to come back I spied a loading dock filled with an incoming shipment of Ford jeeps,( really designated as 1/4 ton trucks) I pulled down there as no one was around and totally outfitted my vehicle with everything I could pull off the new ones. New seats, new canvas top, Jerry cans, utility tools like axes and hammers and shovels that affix to brackets on the side and even a tactical radio complete with whip antenna. My lieutenant finally came out from his meeting and we were fifty klicks up the road before he noticed the upgrade! He was very pleased! Lol
I remember those engines in 2 or 2 1/2 ton dumps. Plenty of power and good on gas too. Baily deserves his nap and I never doubted you'd get it right. Good deal!
In 1973 , I bought a new Dodge pickup with 318 and 3 on the tree transmission. I drove it back and forth from Southwestern Virginia and Fort Jackson South Carolina, during my Army Basic Training. Had plenty of power, but loved the gas ! Loved the content in this video ! Thank you Mr. Brian !! Be safe my friend and God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy
@@bcbloc02 Love the ol Dodges Brian , in Australia they are as rare as rockin horse poo we had local made but they werent as nice as yours different bodies but still were called d150 200's. the bodies we had believe it or not were made by international harvester. they had slant 6, Aussie designed 245HD [heavy duty] steel crank hemi 6 yes they were called hemis. 318 HD 361 HD THAT a truck motor.

@@bcbloc02 there ya go, give that fuel tank a good cleaning out, change out ALL the fluids, grease all the joints and then see how she runs, also if ya haven't, how about giving her some new spark plugs and leads
Brian: I have had good luck freeing up lifters by draining the oil then refilling the motor with half K-1 and new motor oil. Just start it and let it run at idle until the motor warms up. Drain the mix out. I have have done this for years. I have a 1952 Chevy pickup and the owners manual tells you to do this every other oil change. LOL Oils have gotten better in the last 60 years.
Machinist, auto mechanic, air compressor mechanic, truck mechanic, roofer, concrete layer, agricultural engineer, welder, damn Brian is there anything that you can't do?
Worked for a company years ago that had a 1983 or 1984 Dodge van with a 318. It had over 300,000 miles and the engine had never been touched. They had an excellent maintenance program which I think extended it's life. We sent that little van all over the US running Hot Shot shipments and it never failed except for the ballast resistor which is cheap and simple to change out so we just kept a couple in the glove compartment.
Hello Brian, I have found that when one removes the carburetor, one needs to put fuel into the vent part and the engine will start just about in a second or two. No hesitation to run at all. My trick that I just remembered when you were working on the gasoline sprayer. Keep on fixing old toys that make old boys smile. Stay safe and virus free too. VF
Brian, I love the pie crust bias ply rib front tires and block traction bias ply rear tires. Love this body style Dodge Trucks! Bailey kept coming to check on you while you were working on the carb.
From 6:47 and jump to 13:09 ... that front/forward belt on the alternator has changed position in the pulley a LOT ... something isn't right there. Thanks for sharing!
Ive got a friend whos farm truck runs off a portable metal boat tank that sits in the bed. Hose is ran over the side, supported by the side mirror. Under the hood near the windshield and into the carb. Its janky, but like yours, it moves wood and other stuff around the farm.
Made comment before see you changed coil! Still be cam going flat, and exhaust plugged. Looked like better flow on right side than left. But hey I'm not there! And only guessing. Good job as usual.
@@bcbloc02 When it is 90 degrees or better outside it is better watching the you tube. Either way is more fun when the hood you are fiddling under is not your only and daily driver.
Thanks for sharing Brian You sho9uld be able to come up with a gas tank i would think. I'M sure Bailey is happy that you got it running he wanting to ride in it I know. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy!
Hey Brian, I have the same 6 gal red gas can as you do, LOL. Seams like it needs a ring job, sweet old Poly 318. Time for a full resto, that would keep your TH-cam channel going for years, LOL.
That hose is questionable when the hood is closed.I would chop it back a bit just so I know that full flow is there cause right now it aint. It was made round for a reason. The ole motor deserves it if you intend to run wood with it. An it don't cost a cent what ever that is worth these days lol. Have fun no matter the chore!
We had a 71 power wagon when I was a kid and it used to get sticky lifters and valves and we would dump a jug of 10w30 down the carb slow and make it smoke and when we got to the end of the quart we would kill it with oil and let it sit over night. Always cured the tick
bcbloc02 we poured it in pretty slow and hold it about half throttle. It must of been the valves sticking. We used to do it couple times a year, as needed. I think we got the idea from an old can of rislone
My tank blew out while i was driving down the road. Filled the cab with fuel. Good job i wasnt smoking. It would have been big booom. Take that tank out. They death traps. Weld a bracket behind cab on top of bed. Get a boat tank. Nice clean fuel. Job done. Just worried about ya rocking and rolling round that farm.
How dare you put a dodge truck on that chevy carburetor! 🤣 Just some chevy vs dodge humor 😉. My dad did stuff like that all the time. Thanks for the share, brought back some good memories 😁. Cheers
On a Rochester DualJet the power valve spring needs to be stretched to prevent the hesitation problem from happening. When the spring is stretched it opens up the power valve sooner preventing the lean condition.
Just imagine trying the same thing on a modern truck. If you left one of those like this there would be nothing left, let alone attempting to start it. These old trucks are bomb proof.
,,, don't look for a big change when u do the pump diaphragm, maybe some linkage adjustment . It is working . To put it in chronological perspective, the big block Chevy appeared in production 1965, and as the Mystery Engine from a year or two earlier, but only if you had the connections of say a Smokey Yunick or Junior Johnson .
It is external and just a 2 bolt change out. Everything is pretty easy to access and work on on it. Kind of weird really after working on modern stuff.
Hello, I have a golf 4 1.6 sr, after the engine heats up, it turns off, I have to restart it and it starts. I changed the fuel pump, sensors, ECU. same problem again, what could it be?
Probably do an oil change anyway?? Brian you animal lol while you are at it I would pull all the plugs and at least clean them AND you will never have it running truly sweet with probably 30+ year old cap leads and rotor arm in it. I bet if you ran that in the dark it would be a brilliant light show all over the cap and leads with all the tracking going on ! Will be a lot better with a working accelerator pump that's for sure! Give that great hound dog of yours a juicy bone from me Brian
It's no doubt the Carb needs a kit but have you considered dumping a can of GM Top Engine cleaner down the carburetor or even fun some water down it to clean up any carbon the valves and intake. 318's were kind of famous for weak noisy lifters and carbon buildup on the valves. If I remember right back in the day Mopar sold a top end lubricant/cleaner that smelled ever so much like Marvel's Mystery Oil and a top end engine cleaner that said it also could be used to wash an engine with that smelled like Engine Gunk. I tried a couple of cans of there spray top engine cleaner and found the GM Top Engine Cleaner you either poured (dribbled) into the carb or sucked into the engine like SeaFoam worked better after all if it could clean the carbon out of Cadillac engines it should have no problem with a 318 carbon.
@@bcbloc02 Thank you, I hope to see other of your videos again, I expect that you got your barn/shop sealed up & heated with the infloor hot water heating system, I suspect Bailey is very happy with a nice warm floor.
@@bcbloc02 Yes it is required in most kettering ignitions, Ford products used coils with built in ballasts, GM used a section of "resistor wire" in the harness and Mopar used those idiotic ceramic things that get wet and fail, ditch the resistor and go to a Ford coil.
Love them old Mopar trucks poly 318 was a great motor. I know this is a year late but did ya get the kink out of the upper radiator hose? can't imagine that helps with the cooling aspects.
Gonna be a solid old girl when you get done with it. Btw out in my neck of the woods some chevy guys arevreplacing their rochester 2cg carbs with ford/holley 2300. Using an adapter from speedway. Somtimes those rochesters can be finiky
Glorious - glad you got it. I kept my mouth shut and you got to the timing which was part of my guess. Good catch on the coil - rare but they happen. Without a scope and it actually giving a fit it is tough to catch a dodgy (pun intended) coil. Might add a little trans fluid to your fender fuel tanker. Works wonders on cleaning up the intake valve stems.
You’ve been working diesels too long, love your channel but gassers are fickle beyond belief change the oil, coolant and every other fluid, flush the carb cleaner/starter and flush any gas. It’ s your best best before a basic rebuild. Check that kinked radiator hose too, could hold a chuck from sitting. Think about the changes in gas and ethanol over the years.
@@kevinrager957 Nothing you listed besides carb is any different from a diesel. And a cab that's been sitting for 23 years is no more fickle than an injection pump that sits for 23 years, I'll wager that for both to sit in the same conditions for 23 years the carb would be the quickest, easiest, and cheapest to fix.
Ole Kentucky boy sittin on a flat rock cleaning a carb with his lab Bailey on a summer day. I like vid thx Block
This film reveals Bailey's success at hunting. Damn, he moves fast.
He is a speed demon!
Oh Lord - The chrome 60,000 volt JC Whitney coil - I thought I recognized it. That company got a lot of my money when I was a kid.

I built my first VW Bug engine using "speed parts" from them.
Remember the “Engine Restorer” system with pellets? I used that a bit in an old Delta 88 that I used while in school...🤣
The upper rad hose is kinked, shorten it, that will help with the overheating. Thanks for sharing
That truck is every boy's dream! I am impressed with the tires that held air for 20 years. I have a hard time finding new ones that will hold air for 20 months.
Good thing too as 17.5" rubber is hard to find. The front tires are Dunlops only ones I have ever seen in person.
A little Marvel Mystry oil will free the lifters up. Great work as always!
Congratulations! You haven't lost your gasoline engine talents.

Good job Brian that old iron runs forever.
Love seeing these old vehicles come back to life. This one is the same age as my Mustang.
Hey Brian pour some ATF in the engine and run 15-20 min before changing the oil. The high detergents will help free up the lifters.
When I dump ATF in the oil to try and de-gum stuff I found that letting in the engine for a couple thousand miles works better.
She is running much smoother. looking forward to see her motivating.
Runs great for a farm truck. Good fix replacing that weak ignition coil.
Love it. A shade tree mechanic with a million dollar machine shop! Been watching lots of your older posts. Keep up the great work!

Truck goes vroom!
You ever seen one of them old dodges with a shifter in the dash? It was cool!
Carbs are typically listed by venturi diameter rather than throttle plate diameter.
Then I guess this one would be 1-3/16 as that is what is molded in the top.
It's no doubt the Carb needs a kit but have you considered dumping a can of GM Top Engine cleaner down the carburetor or even fun some water down it to clean up any carbon the valves and intake. 318's were kind of famous for weak noisy lifters and carbon buildup on the valves. If I remember right back in the day Mopar sold a top end lubricant/cleaner that smelled ever so much like Marvel's Mystery Oil and a top end engine cleaner that said it also could be used to wash an engine with that smelled like Engine Gunk. I tried a couple of cans of there spray top engine cleaner and found the GM Top Engine Cleaner you either poured (dribbled) into the carb or sucked into the engine like SeaFoam worked better after all if it could clean the carbon out of Cadillac engines it should have no problem with a 318 carbon.
I suspect there might be some sand in he carburetor or a 318 under the hood or a cloud in the sky or it rained this year.
Pads rusting to the break drums was worst part of leaving my old truck sitting.

@@jumpinjojo oops 😁
Change those spark plugs son only gonna break down 👍🏻🇬🇧
283 is a Chevrolet motor. A 1957 GMC pickup used a Pontiac 347 if optioned with a V8
What is the Blue & Blue 2 door hardtop that was parked beside the 67 dodge before you moved the Dodge ? a mid 70's Chevy???
BTW I graduated H.S. in 1967.

@@bcbloc02 Thank you, I hope to see other of your videos again, I expect that you got your barn/shop sealed up & heated with the infloor hot water heating system, I suspect Bailey is very happy with a nice warm floor.
Peter here Brian, change or ditch that ignition ballast resistor.
It came with the coil. Said it was required??
@@bcbloc02 Yes it is required in most kettering ignitions, Ford products used coils with built in ballasts, GM used a section of "resistor wire" in the harness and Mopar used those idiotic ceramic things that get wet and fail, ditch the resistor and go to a Ford coil.
Love them old Mopar trucks poly 318 was a great motor. I know this is a year late but did ya get the kink out of the upper radiator hose? can't imagine that helps with the cooling aspects.
I have not messed with the radiator hose. It works just fine as is, never have had the truck run hot.
How’s the radio?
Gonna be a solid old girl when you get done with it.
Btw out in my neck of the woods some chevy guys arevreplacing their rochester 2cg carbs with ford/holley 2300. Using an adapter from speedway.
Somtimes those rochesters can be finiky
The digital calipers I have will show decimal or fractional inches. It takes some thinking when it says something like 1 55/128", lol
I'm thinking the bore size of the carb might be measured at the venturi?
Only thing I can think of
Has 1-3/16 printed on that??
Let me do a free carb rebuild if you supply the kit. One of my favorite bench activities in front of the fan...
I think “ Watch Wes Work” needs to read the code on this truck!
I swear I saw deer run by while you were working on the carb. I would have lost half the screws on that carb sitting out there in the grass.
Glorious - glad you got it. I kept my mouth shut and you got to the timing which was part of my guess. Good catch on the coil - rare but they happen. Without a scope and it actually giving a fit it is tough to catch a dodgy (pun intended) coil.
Might add a little trans fluid to your fender fuel tanker. Works wonders on cleaning up the intake valve stems.
Dumped some seafoam in there, supposed to cure what ails ya according to the can. Smells like kerosene to me. lol
You might have to fix that top radiator hose, it's going to make it run hot and it will shut down when it's to hot, no antifreeze flowing.
It never gets hot. More water can get thru that hose than can come thru the 3/4" hole of the thermostat.
Sounds like an arc also...might have a bad wire..that snap is real faint but sounds like a arc at idle
Pretty sure its a hydraulic lifter not too happy.
You need to refit the upper radiator hose. It is too long and it is kinked at one of the bends. Now you can drive it to the scrap yard.
You’ve been working diesels too long, love your channel but gassers are fickle beyond belief change the oil, coolant and every other fluid, flush the carb cleaner/starter and flush any gas. It’ s your best best before a basic rebuild. Check that kinked radiator hose too, could hold a chuck from sitting. Think about the changes in gas and ethanol over the years.
@@kevinrager957 Nothing you listed besides carb is any different from a diesel. And a cab that's been sitting for 23 years is no more fickle than an injection pump that sits for 23 years, I'll wager that for both to sit in the same conditions for 23 years the carb would be the quickest, easiest, and cheapest to fix.
I tried boiling a carb in water and couple drops of soap, wow cleanest carb i have done in awhile. Only 30mins too
Got to hand it to you
