@@contraband1543 my 96 Corolla is one of the best cars I’ve ever had. Got it cheap as a beater and the thing just runs. When these little cars break they’re cheap to fix and can get parts anywhere. 90s Japanese cars have been good to me
Don't worry about those old timers laughing kiddo. Your doing great. It's comforting to see some young throwbacks who still care about the old stuff. One day all us old folks will be gone and you'll carry on. You can't know where your going if you don't know where you've been. Pass on your knowledge to your kids.
I am SO jealous. Even with all that's wrong, it still runs and drives. You better believe they don't make 'em like they used to! Looking forward to see the next chapter! Many, many thanks Mr. Jennings!
It's so reliable and fixable because it's so simple. But also because Henry Ford and his engineers were geniuses and prioritized simplicity and reliability before comfort and extra features.
Trade-offs. In reality, those vehicles were easily fixable, but required constant maintenance and frequent repairs. Vehicles now, commonly reach 100,000 miles *easily* and often 300,000 miles without the need for major repairs, but are very complex, and difficult to work on and repair.
@@spamtrap8021, you're very right, I should have mentioned that, too. Modern machines are complicated, but it doesn't mean they're unreliable. They're just harder to fix when they do break eventually.
@@VioletGiraffe Wait... what just happened? You didn't get all angry, and respond to me like I just insulted your grandmother. You just gave me some hope in humanity and made my day. Thanks!
Not sure if you’ll read this but it’s so cool that you bring these vehicles back to life, especially these reallyyy old ones. They’re like time capsules and they’re so special. To think of that time when it was new, back in the 30’s, and to picture that truck hauling hay bales on a farm… really puts the term “another life” into perspective. Thanks for sharing with us and I hope you keep the videos coming for a long time. -Garrett
@@joshbennett2762 ... I'd be using straight weight oils like a #30. Anything in oil these days will have 10 times the anti-wear compounds over the stuff from pre WWII.
It's really great to learn how you get stuck engine back to life and running again, I'm a carpenter by trade but been working on cars and trucks since I was 10 which is 47 years and I picked up a couple tricks from you and I thank you very much. Keep up the good work and I'll keep on watching 👍☮️
I had no idea that these nostalgic vehicles were still available and just lying around. I would have thought everyone and their dog would have gone out as obsessed bounty car hunters and snatched them all up by now. That is one heck of a lovely 1931 model aa truck you have JMs. Would also love to see the entire 1917 v8 Cadillac rebuilt.
They literally made millions of model T's, A's and AA's. If you want one, you can find one. Just dont buy one from up north or the only thing left of it will be a pile of rust. 🤣
I can watch these all day long, everyday. That was my first ride in something so old, and I think I was born in the wrong era. I should have been born in 1905. The 20th century was the best engineering period of all time. From horse and buggy to standing on the moon. There is nothing like it.
Very nice truck. AA trucks are geared down compared to the cars, and so have a lower top speed. Spark advance needs to be adjusted (advanced) after starting, or it will be REALLY slow. Oil change requires only 4 qts, as some remains in the splash tray. Also, the updraft carb prevents fuel drips into the cylinders.
I Love Your Videos,, The Old Gems Coming Back To Life,, The Way They Look,, Sound,, Etc..Many Of These Show/Prove The Old Saying True,, "They Don't Make Em Like They Used To.
I had an AA just like this one, a 1930, with the " dual high" auxiliary transmission. Sadly, I sold her when I got married the first time. I should have kept the truck, and skipped the wedding!!!
Use some Delvac diesel engine oil: it has plenty of zinc. I put some 10W-40 in a 1941 Graham Hollywood and it worked fine. I use it in my 2015 Yamaha MT-09 motorcycle, too. Shifts sooooo much smoother.
Jennings I enjoy all that you do getting the Ole girls going again. You are very knowledgeable about vehicles, especially when I was watching you building the Cuda back from nothing. Also the Diamond T awesome. " WOW " ... Just keep on keeping on!!! 😊
So glad to see you going up in subs. Been here since 6k and have loved every video so far. Been a pleasure to watch you grow, can't wait to see what's next!
Really cool projects you guys are working on - really looking forward to seeing more about these old machines. I always appreciate that someone is bring them back and there aren't too many people that can do that. Really sorry about the lost footage - I feel that pain given all the work your doing on these machines!
Love that old truck !!! I bet there's hundreds of people seeing it "Thinking.... I'd give him this!! I'd give him this much .;;; She's a special little gem that truck .. has character !!! I'd give anything for it .. don't let no one low dollar you my friend, 🤪👍
Any oil on the shelf today has more Zinc than any oil available when it was young. ZDDP started seing a little use in the mid 50s, and hit its peak in the 1980s. VR1 is pretty close to a 90s formulation.
Cars and trucks this sort of age with all original parts and original motor seem to be quite a common find in the US. Here in the UK we just don't see this sort of thing. We do get the occasional barn find but it's nothing like what you guys have over there with old trucks and cars just sitting on farms just about everywhere! One of the many things I envy about the US. I'd love to be able to rescue some old vehicles as often as you get to do it!
I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL TRUCK! it has a low speed rear-end there were higher speed rear ends for these, My GREAT Friend Mike Hartmann here in Ola Arkansas makes the high speed worm drives for the TT trucks, It gives You a much more comfortable speed! I believe this Truck You have is a Ring and pinion rear end! Looking to find a set of the high speed gears for the 1930 to 1933 rear end! T hank You for preserving this beauty!
A michell overdrive is available for Model AA Ford Trucks. This will increase your speed by giving your truck a high and low gear. It is a beautiful truck of my favorite year, 1931, green with black fenders.
Nice AA Truck you have there! If you turn your coil upside down like the original coils were mounted, it makes the wiring a lot neater. As for the oil, if the engine is old, best to use non-detergent oil. If the engine is fresh, a good 10-30 detergent is all you need. You DON'T need any extra zinc or ZDDP in a Model A engine. Wasn't around in 1931.
Ahhh came out when America was filled with hard working folks who's loved their country and pridefully made goods and provided services. Now this country is well, the opposite of that.
I like the way you try to make all these relics run. Not sure where in Ark. you are but I am south of you I believe. I would sure like to meet you sometime and see your collection
Nice old Model AA, 30w oil is correct these But i could be wrong! Antifreeze?? Green i guess, pink antifreeze is for newer vehicles. Was antifreeze even around back in 1930,s???? Love this content,old flathead trucks etc being brought back to life Not Rat Rodded with an LS etc!
Hi from uk bin subscribed for while tho first comment on page goin to start givin comment or 👍👋 just so u know am here rather than just like vids good job mate at least not raining now for you !👍👍
Only some Rotella formulations have it, and theres really nothing in that engine that needs EP lube to begin with. Engine oils didn't even start using Zinc as an EP lube until the mid 50s.
Awesome truck, it definitely is concerning seeing how much gasoline was in that newish oil. It’s definitely a carburetor issue, whether it’s flooding or running extremely rich.
My grampa had to back a Model A coupe over Pikes Peak because of the gravity feed system. The fuel got low enough that the carb was above it on the incline so they turned the car around and backed over part of it.
Red line oil company makes a zinc additive and I called them up to ask a few things about it. They told me that prewar cars don't get an advantage from zinc, it was formulated for oils for muscle cars, primarily for the plain cam shafts at high speed. They talked me out of buying the additive for my prewar car as they said it was a waste of money.
Might be a bit slow, but I doubt any modern Ford will be running in 90 years.
Thats a fact.
Nothing made now will still function in 90 years. Well, maybe a few Toyotas, or a Caterpillar.
@@jeffrykopis5468 Facts on the toyotas. You could let a 90s yota sit forever and it'll still fire right up lmao

You don't need to run expensive "high zinc" racing oil, just use a good diesel oil. It has the ZDDP flat-tappet cams need and is available anywhere.
Diesel oil?
@@lloydy___8720 oil designed for diesel engines....
I just use cheap oil in my flat tappet motors and add a zinc additive

Vice Grip uses Shell Rotella T6 meant for diesels.

I'm so happy you finally made a restoration video! I've been waiting for one for a while, and it was as good as I anticipated! Keep it up!
I see and hear that truck running, I think of the Waltons. A beautiful old truck and you will get it all right.
That is a beautiful piece of history there. Hope you rebuild the engine and post a lot more videos.
I'd love to drive this around like any other truck. Awesome.
Use some Delvac diesel engine oil: it has plenty of zinc. I put some 10W-40 in a 1941 Graham Hollywood and it worked fine. I use it in my 2015 Yamaha MT-09 motorcycle, too. Shifts sooooo much smoother.

This is AWESOME !!!. So excited to turn on TH-cam and have a new video from you right at the top.
To think that at one time this truck was a status symbol of wealth and also someone's pride and joy. Great work!
That good old double a needs some compression. New sleeves, new rings. A great old truck. Worthy of an investment. Thanks, feller. Enjoyed that.
Absolutely beautiful. Glad I found your channel admist the new job search
Great job I love how you even was able to bring back the paint job shine....
That's is an awesome truck. Just hearing it run was good enough for me but, actually driving it around is way too cool.
Drivin one of them old trucks down a country road is bucket list sh!t for me. That's so awesome.👍
It's nice you get this old cars back up and running. Charming old lady, that car. Greetings from Norway. 🙂
I drove mine from 1984 to 2008, late 31 with Garwood heavy duty dump hoist. Very dependable. I've now got a 46 but prefer the double a. Enjoy it
yayy, new video,, keep them up,, love watching your videos,, nice 1st person view, no fancy video editing/music etc... nice and real..

Great to see an update on this. Looking forward to your next video.
Use Rotella T for a less costly oil for old flat tappet engines.. That is sweet old truck.
Rotela has a high zinc content and works pretty well in those old rigs
Only some Rotella formulations have it, and theres really nothing in that engine that needs EP lube to begin with. Engine oils didn't even start using Zinc as an EP lube until the mid 50s.
