  • We picked this 1949 Ford COE up this summer where it had been abandoned on a farm for 40 years. It's in surprisingly good shape for it's age, but lets see if the Flathead V8 is in as good of shape as the rest of the truck after being parked since 1981! We also purchased a 1954 Ford Cabover from an online auction but it was frozen into the ground when we got there so we had to cut it in half to get it home. Let's make this one a roller and see if we can get the Y-Block running as well after being parked for nearly 50 years! If you're interested in either of these trucks they are both available for purchase. Both have clear titles and are in as shown condition. $7,000 for the 1948 Ford and $4,000 for the 1954 Ford. As always, thanks for watching!

    When I started my automotive technician career back in 1989 the local Ford Dealership that I apprenticed at still had(and used) a Sun Machine like the one that you have.
    That’s where the saying “putting a car on the machine “ came from. I’m sure everyone has heard older folks talking about taking their car to the dealership to have it “Put on the machine “ to diagnose what was causing the car to run badly. That Sun Machine was the mysterious cutting edge high technology machine that they were referring to.
    Appreciate the video. 👍

      When I went to High School our Auto Mechanics teacher said the school was working on getting the funding to get one...We did have a distributer tester though. The reality of the situation is that those were "sales tools" Any good mechanic (just like today) could do the same quality work (probably much faster) without one. But when people saw them sitting in the shop they would spring for the big money service. THAT'S A FACT.

That next day is never guaranteed for anyone, and once someone’s gone, you can’t tell them all the things you wish you could have or done the things you will forever regret not doing. You only get so many years on this earth. Make sure you leave no regrets behind. Thanks again guys!!! And thanks Mortske. Veni Mortske Vici!!!

    One of my first vehicles was a green 1950 Ford F1, flathead 8BA; bought it in the early '70s for $125. I had a machine shop punch it out (I *think* 40 over) and let my little brother work on it for his auto shop class at Fremont High in Sunnyvale, CA, before he had a license. The story was he would take it out in the parking lot, blow up the transmission, rebuild the tranny in shop, take it out in the parking lot, blow up the transmission..... I remember watching him pack needle bearings in the mainshaft on our parents' driveway. My friends and I poached plywood at night from one of the subdivisions being built in the cherry orchards and made a custom camper shell on the back. On a trip three of us took to Isla Vista to visit a friend at UCSB, the fan assembly froze up around Big Sur. We removed that belt and were able to keep the dual water pumps and generator working on the separate belt, air moving through the radiator from driving around, and got a fan from a wrecking yard to button it back up. Those were the days. Thanks for the videos!

      Mortske must have smoked some ganja to come up with abortion "bob-cabover". Fyi.,the Y-block lifters look puny from the top, but the foot of the lifters is actually wider than a conventional type, while the skinny top section provides less friction. Not too shabby engineering.

    In addition, this cab configuration made the engine compartment access a nightmare. You had to stand on your head to work over the fender. It was a Godsend when Dodge came out with the C Model short cabs in the late 60's which had swing out fenders and you could walk right up to the frame rails and engine. Also, the short cab was developed to move the load bed forward to place more weight on the front axle because of weight laws.

      My uncle did the same thing with an old Oliver 60 tractor. He had one of the rear rims rust through, so he cut the center out of it and out of another set of rims from an old combine and welded it all back together. It wasn't quite true either, so the tractor tended to rock side to side on the highway. It only went about 12 mph in road gear so it wasn't a big issue and it didn't launch you off when driving. But in the field raking hay, you really didn't notice it at all.

We got drug sniffing dogs for cars but we'll train Duff as a mouse nest in flywheel sniffing dog that can detect the most stuck of engines so you can save those cars for Puddin! haha Great episode as always, love me old COE trucks and stubbies are the best!

    Hi Kevin, what a beautiful old truck. Oh and hey Kudos on the sun equipment, I haven't seen that stuff in such a long time I remember having a son timing light and we actually had a Sunoco station in the town I grew up in and the guy built hot rods and he had that whole setup that you got plus more stuff even. That mechanic was the bomb and he could set your car up so tight with that stuff and have it race-ready. Oh and the Sunoco station was the only place that sold that Sunoco 260 which was Green and I think it was like 103 octane we used to put that stuff in all our motorcycles and in our race cars. Memories memories memories. Anyhow my friend I just wanted to tell you hello and share a little story with you after all you know I'm the fat storyteller.

    Neighbor had one of those flat head V8 cab over trucks hauling firewood. Ran out of gas with one rear wheel in a mud hole. Left it there overnight of course it got cold enough to freeze, fired it up, let out on the clutch and snapped a rear axle.

  • @rexfreelom4300
    @rexfreelom4300 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can see that you unscrew the flat head off and it was water and rust inside. Then it is most wise to suggest that you unmount the engine and pick up the engine apart away from transmission. It comes out thru the doorway of the cab. Maybe, take out the windshield so that the crane can crates the engine up after the crane upper jack-up arm goes thru the windshield hole.
    Recommendation is to remove all the valve seats with careful grind it out with grind whetstone (cylindrical) attached to the drill and the drill's magnet base will guide both drill and the engine together. Then after remove the broken valve seat, press fit the new valve seat to the set hole of the cylinder block. The valve seat is malleable into the deck of the block. The poppet valve is high hardness so it breaks off only when rusted badly like brittle. Thanks for cleaning and big time overhaul the flat head set engine.
