That engine is a large series 1929 Buick engine. That hole is in the heat exchanger, the valves control the carb heat… duct tape will do nothing but melt. Just set the valves to closed until you replace the pipe. The engine will run fine at closed setting. That is a great engine, it even has roller lifters and a harmonic equalizer on the crankshaft. There are insert bearings in the rods and mains. The only weak point is the fiber timing gear… replace that with a cast metal gear and you are good to go. Yours turns easy so it will probably run fine once the ignition is gone through. My 1929 Buick had a small series engine and has set for maybe 50 years… the crankshaft needed a light Emory paper cleanup and new bearings from the local Napa store. Ran great until the fiber gear failed… with an available metal gear all was fine!
@@davel4708 no timing belt … or chain. There are timing gears. The factory used fiber cam gears. I learned the hard way, when you have it all apart put in a metal gear! If you didn’t do it it’s not a biggie, you can change it out in the car (without pulling the engine)… but when mine shed it’s teeth I was a mile from home and had to tow it home. I prefer changing the gear at home before it dies over having to do a tow when and where your car decides for you!

My grandfather loves your channel. He loves seeing you fix all the old trucks of the past. He was a mechanic in his day and he worked on most of the vehicles you see on your channel when they were new. You have made a weary old man very happy. Thank you JMS.
Funniest part it i live in the southern country and everything in this video is super normal to me, the way he talks and 70 to 80 years old plus things are just normal
We had my dad's old farm truck sat on our property for about 40 years. It was a 1952 international, and it sat so long the wheels were buried about 8 inches into the dirt. One day we changed the oil, battery plugs and wires and added some fresh gas. It started right up and drove just like it did before they originally parked it.
At one point in time, this was someone's means to get food onto the table and feed their family and now you're trying to breathe a bit of life back into it. I'm not a car guy at all but this was seriously awesome.
I love antiques for this exact reason. Every used, antique item is like a physical book: it has a story behind it in a world different from what I’ve ever known. I collect old firearms from military service, and it always makes you wonder what the story was behind the previous user.
@@KC-bg1th I collect Military Surplus rifles as well and I think the exact same thing. Some poor kid the same age as me 70+ years ago, clutching the rifle for dear life as his friends die around him. Really makes me appreciate what I have.

By 1929- cars were pretty commonplace. Henry Ford took care of that..BUT- seeing a truck that isnt a Modell AA, or any of Fords derivatives,, is a little strange, to say the least !

@@chasekasperowski8253 if you don't already, watch vice grips garage. He does the same thing as here, only with a fun Midwestern accent instead o southern
All technical analysis aside, I find it rather amusing that a mechanic is having what seems to be the same issues with this car as were had 80+ years ago. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Seeing that rusty, ghost-like frame from another lifetime belching smoke and coming briefly to life is truly magical. I'm not remotely a gearhead at all and I can really appreciate your video. Love it, already have walked around the house showing this to people. Well done, sir.
But it also shows just how much planned obsolescence there is today. If they could make trucks that lasted this long almost a century ago they could do so today. It's just that car makers don't want to do that because they get most of their money from repairs. The reason many cars are difficult to repair these days is actually on purpose. To make sure they can charge you more.
Great job! 👍 You got the old gal running again even though she had been parked in a field since your grandparents were just little kids. It's always amazing to see how old engines like this can still come back to life with a little effort, despite decades of neglect.
I'm sure glad that there's guys like you who are willing to put the time, effort, and money into these old relics to save them from from the scrap pile. Had to laugh when you disappeared into that huge cloud of smoke. Keep up the good work, is very much appreciated.
I hope you did a bit more to it . That old truck sounded like it wanted to run . You are right about the fuel cannister being vacuum driven . Those were a float / valve type that would fill then shut off the vacuum until it got low again , then open the vacuum to fill it back up . That one would be worth some money restored . Probably the grandaddy of our modern wreckers today . It would probably clear up if it ran more , unstick the rings .
From your diction, disposition, to wrenchin', watching this was akin to spending 36 minutes with my great-grandfather as a younger man. He was a mechanic from the late 1920s to 1980s, and I knew him well as a boy. Thank you for this. What an unexpected ride.
Wow, this is one of the best ever videos that I've seen on TH-cam. I'm not a mechanic, but am a data centre engineer that loves seeing systems working and restored. Absolutely fantasic viewing, and to hear what an engine would have sounded like back then. You worked hard to get this system working. Thank you for this.
Steve you're absolutely right. Don't have to be a mechanic to appreciate and enjoy this. The last time that engine was heard most all of us weren't around and wouldn't be for decades. It's history in a way mostly guys can like and enjoy.
I worked as a mechanic for 15 years and grew up around my father's auto repair business. It was always funny to me how theses incredibly smart men with college degrees would be at the mercy of a bunch of high school drop outs and burn outs as most had no clue how an internal combustion engine works, nor did they understand the nuances of the assembly of parts known as an automobile.
I love people like this, loads of general knowledge about old time motors and practical brains, plus chilled out about the whole thing.... well get there one day.
This was a fantastic video. A real testament to how good American engineering was back then. That a motor could sit for nearly 80 years and still fire over and run.
Man I'm not being rude but today's vehicles are much more reliable, better alloys have been engineered to last wayyyy longer and tolerate more heat etc. Ya the old ones were tough but the new ones are even tougher
@@Lee-lb9qh simplicity I think is what makes them reliable. Like the other guy said. Sensors etc would die. Cars with fuel injection wouldn't be as simple to start after than long. Many cheaply made wires would frat and degrade. If kept inside sure maybe. Outside Like this car? Maybe a toyota truck. Other than that no
@@Lee-lb9qh you must be a salesmen or a fool. I can hear the sound of countless mechanics laughing just reading your comment. Cars are built to last 10 years on average at most, as cheaply as they can get away with, with the parts and with maintenence as proprietary as they can make it. THAT is your modern standard.
Amazing to see that engine finally cough to life and run for a bit. Yeah, she was smoking, but that's allowed given all the time she sat on her lonesome. The engine actually sounded pretty good once it got going, too. That truck would make an excellent rat rod. I'll check out the rest of your channel to see what you eventually did with it. Thanks for sharing this!
"Had to shut her off cause she's running a little too good" never have i seen both sides of the same coin at once😂 that was hilarious. Great job brother! I really enjoyed the video
Unconscious, left for dead, returning back to mother earth. But somewhere deep in her recesses there was still the faint spark of life. She coughs and sputters, then roars after almost a century! Absolutely amazing! Great job. After that I think I'd make her a life's project and restore her completely. What a cool truck to own.
Can you imagine rolling up to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get her registered, putt-putting, spewing smoke, with a couple of backfires for good measure ...... and all the old coots spilling out thru the doors to get a look at her. :0D
My dad was a cowboy and did not like working on engines. So this is pretty incredible to me how you know these tricks and techniques so easily, and how these old engines will still work. I just see rust and dirt, and assume there's no way. Very very impressive!
@@jessiejames2155 Here in America we have men like my dad who bred and trained his own horses, raised three kids in a log cabin, was a professional horseshoer, doctored and raised beef steers on our ranch, taught himself to build spurs and horse bits to supplement our income, was a roper, listened to the Sons of the Pioneers and Bob Wills, rehabbed his right arm severed in a pasture roping accident and reattached, did Western acting and stunts in his younger days, and was the toughest man I've ever known. He thought changing his own oil was a waste of time when Walmart would do it for $20. How do they define cowboy where you're from?
My dad grew up in the panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma and hauled hay and killed rattlesnakes now he works on computers but deep down inside he still hates all rattlesnakes
In all the thousands of 'will it run' revivals, I've NEVER been fortunate enough to see something come back with a hand crank. I'm quite astonished! Do what you can, when you can, and please get this back on the road. Yes, subscribed.
Brother, when you got her spittin’ I was cheering her on….. “Go! Go! Let’s goooooooo!” I’m thrilled to see her take a breath of life in almost 80 years. Congratulations my brother!
One of the best “ will it start” ever . The first time it fired off for the first time was so satisfying. And motor that will unstick itself after all this time deserves all the care it can get . Would love to this old veteran driving under it’s own power again. Keep us posted.👍👍🎩
Really good job, sir! Old equipment is like a good dog...no matter how old they get, they're always reliable and willing to please...take care of her because she deserves it.
This was a blast to watch with my girl. We were both laughing the whole time and blown away by that thing running. I restored a 115 year old antique machine today myself and it’s such a rewarding feeling. Stainless was actually.... stainless, brass was everywhere, sad what’s become of the modern quality control
You sir, are an absolute gentleman. Most would have walked past thinking it impossible, but you got her going with great persistence and patience. Love that southern US accent - from way down under In South Australia. My brother loved to renovate old cars including a 1948 FX General Motors Holden and you brought back old memories of those times. Well done mate!
5 mins in I said "no way he gets this running". 20 mins in I said "this sonuvabitch might do this". 32 mins in I'm subscribed. Amazing job young man. This truck 100% deservers a restoration. I hope you follow through and restore this old gal. She started for you. Now it's time to really show the world how beautiful she can be.
He wouldn't have posted the video if he couldn't get it running, and so I knew from the outset that he'd get it started. I just advanced the video to the end and saved the time.
I've often wondered, what would you restore on something in this state? The whole body is rusted through - you'd only really keep the engine block and transmission at most. The rest is toast. It's not really a restoration when you're replacing almost everything...
I’m just a super depressed old lady who was a ballerina back in the day but I enjoyed every second of your video and when the truck started up I had the biggest smile on my face. Thank you🙏🏽
Love these videos. What's better than watching a guy getting old stuff running? Wish I had the space to play around like this, oh and the skills. Thanks from Japan. Liked. Subscribed.
This is such an underrated channel. Wow, I have never seen an almost completely dead vehicle being bringed back to life. Technology back then was built to last forever. This is amazing!
Great video after 80yrs still possible to run the cannister on the fuel system are probably auto vacs which lifted the fuel from the tank and suplied the fuel to the carbs by gravity. Used on diesel engines in uk in good old days. The smoke could've Benn from adites in the cylinders.very interesting.
I put my vote in for another video on this vehicle, sir. I understand that you may only want to go so far at restoring this vehicle but would love to see any further effort you put into it. Thanks for shooting this one.
I love videos like this more than anything and this is honestly one of the most impressive “will it start” videos I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see more!
The sound of the engine turning on its own was magic. Great vid! I don't know exactly how far you want to go in restoration, but I'd watch every video!
The up vote is checked before the video starts. You are blessed with a talent for starting these old vehicles. Thanks for another enjoyable and informative video, although I don't plan on working on ancient vehicles soon.
I love watching stuff like this. Someone looks at a motor like that, covered in rust, dust, pests, etc. and goes “oh yeah I’ll get that to run” confidently because they’re as knowledgeable as they are. Great video man.
The sound of cylinders picking up as it smoothed out was a beautiful sound. The smoke was no surprise. You dumped a lot in the cylinders and I don't expect the rings to come back right away. The more it runs, the better it will get...I hope.
I had a 29 Chevy coupe "survivor" that I was able to easily get running. It actually ran with the original ignition coil for a short time, but I later had to replace with a later model (1950's style) 6v coil. Yes, those are vacuum canisters that draw fuel from the gas tank to the carb. I think it was straight 30 weight oil I ran and even though it stayed slightly wet with oil on the outside, it didn't seem to be burning any. I figured cars back then probably leaked about that bad even when new. I'd love to see follow up vids for this old girl.
Saw this on my recommended page and had to click on it. Glad I did. My grandfather went through the process of restoring a 1927 Chevy 1 ton. To this day it still runs an drives. Glad to see another dinosaur running! Definitely subscribing to see this through
It's amazing how you can get these old vehicles to work. Absolutely fantastic videos. I couldn't crank for hours like that. Your patience is admirable. I would have cheated and hooked an impact gun to it. My hat goes off to you
It would be amazing to see a complete restoration of such an old and unique vehicle. We should cherish these old vehicles because they are incredibly rare to find.
@@johannsebastianbach9003 All Mustangs were coupes. Sedan means 4-door, coupe means 2-door. I have an '83 I've turned into a weekend dragstrip car. Almost 600 HP with natural aspiration. I could still drive it on the road, but I'd have to put mufflers on it and change the tires to make it street legal again.
Yes the Old World tech (Tartarian) that we inherited, has been melted down and destroyed deliberately, these cars were modified to run only on gasoline, previous engines ran on any fuel, people need to wake up and we have to track down the original blue prints...
I was having a bad day and just came across this video and I'm a sucker for old trucks and you didn't disappoint. hearing it run made my day great thanks man! lol.
Hey man, me and my family up here in Michigan have a model a lot like that, still runs, likes to bump around, Betty likes to be used round Christmas time, we drive miles around handing out gifts. True mechanic this man is.
You are reviving history my man. There aren't gunna be that many of these left to get up and running soon, and I hope you get your hands on more and restore them because I love watching these.
Most of that original smoke was the marvel oil, and other stuff you put in the cylinders.. Reminds me of when I got my 1942 generator started for the first time. First started hitting on one cyl, then 2, and gradually all 6 kicked in, and it smoothed out.
My old landcruiser did the same thing, 8 years of sitting with no air cleaner or anything on it. A little atf and marvel treatment over about a week, and it smoked like that for about 15 minutes 😂
These were built to last a lifetime. At least the engines were. This channel has taught me so much about the value of understanding combustion engines and how almost all men used to have basic knowledge of their cars . New cars now make it impossible to change a lightbulb without screwing up the computer. It’s becoming infuriating.
@Swagmaster-ef5ls Not really a threat to their control/power but to their profits. If they sell something reliable, you'll keep it forever and they won't make profit on anything at ALL. Everything that usually needs to be changed (brakes, oil, tires..) can be found aftermarket for very cheap. Much like everything else in your household, the more recently it is made, the less longer it'll last solely because of that.
@32HUNTER in some countries this isn't possible, where I live there are "emission zones". Inside these zones, it's illegal to drive certain cars (basically all old cars) that output a certain co2 emission, or you have to pay a lot of taxes to the points it's more economical to just buy a brand-new car. There are more and more zones created each year. By around 2035 it will be illegal to buy brand-new non-electrical cars from manufacturers. This prevents most young people from owning cars even if they need them because electric cars are super expensive.
@@mical-9066 Given the horrendous amount of toxic nonsense that gets pumped into the atmosphere by cars, especially older ones, I don't think this is nearly as bad as anyone thinks it is, especially with more and more moves made to reduce car dependency in cities. The association of cars with personal freedom has always been horse-hockey to me, because 90% of the time you have no freedom to just not own a car due to shitty city planning. edit: also, electric cars will only get cheaper with time, and non-luxury ones exist (Nissan Leaf). Preferably you wouldn't need a car at all for basic transit.
This is impressive when you consider that old truck wasn't left where it was because it was running well. It already conked out on someone which is why it was junked. He had to overcome not just 81 years of time, but the original mechanical issue(s).
It might not have been abandoned because of failure. This was abandoned during the Great Depression, so it might have just been parked up and forgotten when the business failed.
love how you just show going through the literal raw process ( I thought the wrench would fit it didnt etc) just the bumps and hiccups running into tackling something of this nature. super cool.
You sir, are an absolute delight to watch. I don't know ANYTHING about cars or motors, not even sure how I found you. But here I am, subscribed and watching my way through your past videos. Something about your voice and mannerisms is so calming and the way you explain as you go, in plain honest English, is interesting. I can't wait for your next upload.
This video helped me figure out something I own. I have a motorcycle trailer that a guy built in the 1970s. I could tell it was made from the front axle and frame channels of a truck, but I could never figure out what kind. I recognized the axle in your truck as the same one! So my motorcycle trailer is most likely made from a circa 1929 GMC or Chevy.
When hand cranking any old iron, pull up on your crank device, not down. If she back fires while pushing down it will break your wrist. If she back fires while pulling up, it will just jerk the crank out of your hand. Good video, thanks for sharing.
@@handyman75657 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. When he had the starter working, it was turning the opposite direction of most modern engines, same direction he was turning it by hand to test for spark. When using the ratchet on the crank, he's turning it backwards. The fan blades also indicate he's turning it the wrong way with the ratchet too.
Did you actually look at his hand crank? How's he gonna bust himself? But you lift up for strength. People can deadlift 800 pounds, but you can only push down your bodyweight
@@janeblogs324 Yes. He is pushing down against compression. A backfire will break bones. That's why you always pull up against the compression stroke. Over 50 years experience on this type of old iron.
I'm not much of a mechanic. But watching you get this old girl to come back to life and start. Breathing again was amazing absolutely amazing!

Seeing that rusty, ghost-like frame from another lifetime belching smoke and coming briefly to life is truly magical. I'm not remotely a gearhead at all and I can really appreciate your video. Love it, already have walked around the house showing this to people. Well done, sir.

If we could only do this with people hey...
Frames better then most Ohio
But it also shows just how much planned obsolescence there is today. If they could make trucks that lasted this long almost a century ago they could do so today.
It's just that car makers don't want to do that because they get most of their money from repairs. The reason many cars are difficult to repair these days is actually on purpose. To make sure they can charge you more.
"We're gonna make a big mess with this stuff, but that's okay!" This guy is the Bob Ross of engine repair.
Hha I get your comment now after seeing the last bit. Defo Bob ross stylee...
Other classics are "I hope we won't set the whole world on fire" and "You know it's a good spark when it tastes like 40000 volts"
he really is i love this dude
That was way cool. Good luck!
Hello good sir, nice to find you here
Good luck with the electric hummer JRE!
Jerry rigs
That’s great to see you here Jerry :)
Just randomly finding Jerry on a video?!?? Huh, the world is a small place
Great job! 👍 You got the old gal running again even though she had been parked in a field since your grandparents were just little kids. It's always amazing to see how old engines like this can still come back to life with a little effort, despite decades of neglect.
Amazing how a frame from 1929 is rust free and structurally sound when we have modern pickup trucks with such horrible frame rust issues.
Cheap Chinese steel
I assume they didn't salt the roads back then
Nowadays everything is made to fall apart. Back in the day manufactures had integrity in mind
Yep, it's called 'They'll be back real soon to buy another one...'
Also has to do with safety
"The termites quit holding hands and she flat just fell apart." I will use that where ever possible. Thanks for teaching me that one.
When the engine ran, the rest of the termites fell off the truck in shock, and are headed pell-mell for the nearest cover!
I'm sure glad that there's guys like you who are willing to put the time, effort, and money into these old relics to save them from from the scrap pile. Had to laugh when you disappeared into that huge cloud of smoke. Keep up the good work, is very much appreciated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work it's great to see y'all saving the old history of yesteryear.
Ehhh this car is not going anywhere…. Lol
We've cleared the woods of all local mosquitos. Priceless LOL.
@AncientFromYT He said it was dead since 1940, so that is 81 years of sitting there. He wasn't counting from 1929.
I hope you did a bit more to it . That old truck sounded like it wanted to run . You are right about the fuel cannister being vacuum driven . Those were a float / valve type that would fill then shut off the vacuum until it got low again , then open the vacuum to fill it back up . That one would be worth some money restored . Probably the grandaddy of our modern wreckers today . It would probably clear up if it ran more , unstick the rings .
As a mechanic,i just cant fly by and not say this is amazing. Man they made some good engines back then. Good work on geting her running !
From your diction, disposition, to wrenchin', watching this was akin to spending 36 minutes with my great-grandfather as a younger man. He was a mechanic from the late 1920s to 1980s, and I knew him well as a boy. Thank you for this. What an unexpected ride.
I want to see it in another video.
Me too
bot comment prolly
Bobby!!!
I want to see him brandnew
I second this notion.
Loved your sense of humor combined with your knowledge and skill. Was a fun one to watch. Thanks!
Wow, this is one of the best ever videos that I've seen on TH-cam. I'm not a mechanic, but am a data centre engineer that loves seeing systems working and restored. Absolutely fantasic viewing, and to hear what an engine would have sounded like back then. You worked hard to get this system working. Thank you for this.
Steve you're absolutely right. Don't have to be a mechanic to appreciate and enjoy this. The last time that engine was heard most all of us weren't around and wouldn't be for decades. It's history in a way mostly guys can like and enjoy.
As I'm sitting at a datacenter appreciating this as well, haha.
Interesting even tho i have no interest in vintage cars
I worked as a mechanic for 15 years and grew up around my father's auto repair business. It was always funny to me how theses incredibly smart men with college degrees would be at the mercy of a bunch of high school drop outs and burn outs as most had no clue how an internal combustion engine works, nor did they understand the nuances of the assembly of parts known as an automobile.
The real question is. Was Dennis Nedry wrong?
I love people like this, loads of general knowledge about old time motors and practical brains, plus chilled out about the whole thing.... well get there one day.
I agree!!!
This was a fantastic video. A real testament to how good American engineering was back then. That a motor could sit for nearly 80 years and still fire over and run.
Man I'm not being rude but today's vehicles are much more reliable, better alloys have been engineered to last wayyyy longer and tolerate more heat etc. Ya the old ones were tough but the new ones are even tougher
@@Lee-lb9qh simplicity I think is what makes them reliable. Like the other guy said. Sensors etc would die. Cars with fuel injection wouldn't be as simple to start after than long. Many cheaply made wires would frat and degrade. If kept inside sure maybe. Outside Like this car? Maybe a toyota truck. Other than that no
@@Lee-lb9qh you must be a salesmen or a fool. I can hear the sound of countless mechanics laughing just reading your comment.
Cars are built to last 10 years on average at most, as cheaply as they can get away with, with the parts and with maintenence as proprietary as they can make it. THAT is your modern standard.
@@scout360pyroz ur dumb bro technology gets better not worse u must be an old man shut up
@@scout360pyroz I got an 08 ford focus 240,000 miles only replaced brakes, shocks and 02 sensor
Amazing to see that engine finally cough to life and run for a bit. Yeah, she was smoking, but that's allowed given all the time she sat on her lonesome. The engine actually sounded pretty good once it got going, too. That truck would make an excellent rat rod. I'll check out the rest of your channel to see what you eventually did with it. Thanks for sharing this!
"Had to shut her off cause she's running a little too good" never have i seen both sides of the same coin at once😂 that was hilarious. Great job brother! I really enjoyed the video
Unconscious, left for dead, returning back to mother earth. But somewhere deep in her recesses there was still the faint spark of life. She coughs and sputters, then roars after almost a century! Absolutely amazing! Great job. After that I think I'd make her a life's project and restore her completely. What a cool truck to own.
Can you imagine rolling up to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get her registered, putt-putting, spewing smoke, with a couple of backfires for good measure ...... and all the old coots spilling out thru the doors to get a look at her. :0D
My dad was a cowboy and did not like working on engines. So this is pretty incredible to me how you know these tricks and techniques so easily, and how these old engines will still work. I just see rust and dirt, and assume there's no way.
Very very impressive!
Define: "Cowboy" ...
@@jessiejames2155
Here in America we have men like my dad who bred and trained his own horses, raised three kids in a log cabin, was a professional horseshoer, doctored and raised beef steers on our ranch, taught himself to build spurs and horse bits to supplement our income, was a roper, listened to the Sons of the Pioneers and Bob Wills, rehabbed his right arm severed in a pasture roping accident and reattached, did Western acting and stunts in his younger days, and was the toughest man I've ever known.
He thought changing his own oil was a waste of time when Walmart would do it for $20.
How do they define cowboy where you're from?
@@custerranchTodays feature on, “Things that never happened…”
My dad grew up in the panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma and hauled hay and killed rattlesnakes now he works on computers but deep down inside he still hates all rattlesnakes
Hes not a cowboy so that makes sense that this guy knows how too
Been waiting a long long time to say hello to the world again. Congrats and happy to see a piece of history come back to life.
In all the thousands of 'will it run' revivals, I've NEVER been fortunate enough to see something come back with a hand crank. I'm quite astonished!
Do what you can, when you can, and please get this back on the road. Yes, subscribed.

Brother, when you got her spittin’ I was cheering her on….. “Go! Go! Let’s goooooooo!” I’m thrilled to see her take a breath of life in almost 80 years. Congratulations my brother!
One of the best “ will it start” ever . The first time it fired off for the first time was so satisfying. And motor that will unstick itself after all this time deserves all the care it can get . Would love to this old veteran driving under it’s own power again. Keep us posted.👍👍🎩

@@MightyWolfman Kind of the RATTIEST of rat rods! This one takes the cheese!

Really good job, sir! Old equipment is like a good dog...no matter how old they get, they're always reliable and willing to please...take care of her because she deserves it.
This was a blast to watch with my girl. We were both laughing the whole time and blown away by that thing running. I restored a 115 year old antique machine today myself and it’s such a rewarding feeling. Stainless was actually.... stainless, brass was everywhere, sad what’s become of the modern quality control
you have a keeper if she was interested in this as much as you were
@@xenthia they must’ve been stoned 🍃
Yeh stuff is kind of on label only.
Did you get her motor running?
Did you smashed her? High 5, i like
You sir, are an absolute gentleman. Most would have walked past thinking it impossible, but you got her going with great persistence and patience. Love that southern US accent - from way down under In South Australia. My brother loved to renovate old cars including a 1948 FX General Motors Holden and you brought back old memories of those times. Well done mate!
I feel like southerners and Australians are a kindred spirit
Great video my old man would've loved this
Rip
I love your channel banner lol
I just found this channel yesterday. This is awesome! Keep on bringing old engines to life!
I am deeply invested in wanting to see this truck get a full restoration now!! Yes, please! More videos with it!
me too, i loved it when it came back to life! Rather heart warming
Same
He made me get very emotionally invested into a truck.
So the word “invested” y’all about to send him money to get it fixed?
@@Nicksryup it’s called emotional investment. Not sure if u intended a joke or not, but if u did it was pretty terrible ngl

I hope you follow through and restore this old gal. She started for you. Now it's time to really show the world how beautiful she can be.
He wouldn't have posted the video if he couldn't get it running, and so I knew from the outset that he'd get it started. I just advanced the video to the end and saved the time.
yup same lmfao
@@استاذدانيال he has other vids where they don't start
I've often wondered, what would you restore on something in this state? The whole body is rusted through - you'd only really keep the engine block and transmission at most. The rest is toast. It's not really a restoration when you're replacing almost everything...
I totally agree,
I’m just a super depressed old lady who was a ballerina back in the day but I enjoyed every second of your video and when the truck started up I had the biggest smile on my face. Thank you🙏🏽
Hey there ballerina, be strong and reach for that second wind, you've got this.
You're gorgeous lady! We all age, but our beauty remains.

Great video after 80yrs still possible to run the cannister on the fuel system are probably auto vacs which lifted the fuel from the tank and suplied the fuel to the carbs by gravity. Used on diesel engines in uk in good old days. The smoke could've Benn from adites in the cylinders.very interesting.
That was impressive!!
You're truly knowledgeable about these things.
I didn't expect it to start, much less run!
I put my vote in for another video on this vehicle, sir. I understand that you may only want to go so far at restoring this vehicle but would love to see any further effort you put into it. Thanks for shooting this one.
So refreshing to not hear all the foul language and just good old southern language and great content. You are the only one I like watching.
This thing is beautiful.
Was.
@@danielmconnolly7 still is, ish
Hell yea
You’re everywhere!
Hey Brad!
I love videos like this more than anything and this is honestly one of the most impressive “will it start” videos I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see more!
I was thinking there was little chance using a hand crank.
Hope they restore that old truck
The sound of the engine turning on its own was magic. Great vid! I don't know exactly how far you want to go in restoration, but I'd watch every video!
The up vote is checked before the video starts. You are blessed with a talent for starting these old vehicles. Thanks for another enjoyable and informative video, although I don't plan on working on ancient vehicles soon.
That my friend is what being a mechanic is all about. Bringing back the past and sharing it with everyone. Great video.
I would really like to see more of this truck. Maybe a full restoration? I'd pitch in a few bucks to support the build
What does this fella do with these rusted vehicles? Does he restore them, send them to a museum, or leaves em to rust?🤫
@@hackman669 restore the if he didnt that what would he do
I love watching stuff like this. Someone looks at a motor like that, covered in rust, dust, pests, etc. and goes “oh yeah I’ll get that to run” confidently because they’re as knowledgeable as they are. Great video man.
This is awesome dude. I love the tenacity and positive attitude, the persistence and know-how, really great to watch it come back to life 😊
"we're just going to duck tape that and call it good." I can relate to that - on a spiritual level.
"Fiftain sixtainths"
Amen.
The sound of cylinders picking up as it smoothed out was a beautiful sound. The smoke was no surprise. You dumped a lot in the cylinders and I don't expect the rings to come back right away. The more it runs, the better it will get...I hope.
I'm impressed that the belt survived after so many years instead of snapping.
it looks like enough moss grew and died on there to hold everything together lol
I had the same thought when I saw that 71 year old belt go 'round Dwimar.
"Had to shutter off cause she was runnin a little too good" This guy is living the life
I’d love to see a series of just this truck! It’d be super cool to see this thing drive and maybe even restored
Just like Binky, but older.
So do I!
Please make a part 2. I love the fact that you literally got a truck this old to run. Dude your a legend 💪🏻
Definitely like to see a second part!
This was almost cathartic to watch. This is the part of America that I just love. Thank you.
I had a 29 Chevy coupe "survivor" that I was able to easily get running. It actually ran with the original ignition coil for a short time, but I later had to replace with a later model (1950's style) 6v coil. Yes, those are vacuum canisters that draw fuel from the gas tank to the carb. I think it was straight 30 weight oil I ran and even though it stayed slightly wet with oil on the outside, it didn't seem to be burning any. I figured cars back then probably leaked about that bad even when new. I'd love to see follow up vids for this old girl.

It's amazing how you can get these old vehicles to work. Absolutely fantastic videos. I couldn't crank for hours like that. Your patience is admirable. I would have cheated and hooked an impact gun to it. My hat goes off to you
The image of this engine slowly rumbling into action as smoke envelops the frame is equal part awesome and terrifying.

It would be amazing to see a complete restoration of such an old and unique vehicle. We should cherish these old vehicles because they are incredibly rare to find.
Yes make a restoration please !!!

Most of that original smoke was the marvel oil, and other stuff you put in the cylinders.. Reminds me of when I got my 1942 generator started for the first time. First started hitting on one cyl, then 2, and gradually all 6 kicked in, and it smoothed out.
Ppppp⁰
My old landcruiser did the same thing, 8 years of sitting with no air cleaner or anything on it. A little atf and marvel treatment over about a week, and it smoked like that for about 15 minutes 😂

"The termites quit holding hands" ha I'll have to remember that one. Brilliant video.
These were built to last a lifetime. At least the engines were. This channel has taught me so much about the value of understanding combustion engines and how almost all men used to have basic knowledge of their cars . New cars now make it impossible to change a lightbulb without screwing up the computer. It’s becoming infuriating.
More than a lifetime now hahaha
@Swagmaster-ef5ls Not really a threat to their control/power but to their profits. If they sell something reliable, you'll keep it forever and they won't make profit on anything at ALL. Everything that usually needs to be changed (brakes, oil, tires..) can be found aftermarket for very cheap. Much like everything else in your household, the more recently it is made, the less longer it'll last solely because of that.
@32HUNTER in some countries this isn't possible, where I live there are "emission zones". Inside these zones, it's illegal to drive certain cars (basically all old cars) that output a certain co2 emission, or you have to pay a lot of taxes to the points it's more economical to just buy a brand-new car. There are more and more zones created each year. By around 2035 it will be illegal to buy brand-new non-electrical cars from manufacturers. This prevents most young people from owning cars even if they need them because electric cars are super expensive.
@@mical-9066 wow
@@mical-9066 Given the horrendous amount of toxic nonsense that gets pumped into the atmosphere by cars, especially older ones, I don't think this is nearly as bad as anyone thinks it is, especially with more and more moves made to reduce car dependency in cities.
The association of cars with personal freedom has always been horse-hockey to me, because 90% of the time you have no freedom to just not own a car due to shitty city planning.
edit: also, electric cars will only get cheaper with time, and non-luxury ones exist (Nissan Leaf). Preferably you wouldn't need a car at all for basic transit.
This is impressive when you consider that old truck wasn't left where it was because it was running well. It already conked out on someone which is why it was junked. He had to overcome not just 81 years of time, but the original mechanical issue(s).
There is a chance for all of us
Sometimes you just gotta wait for 80 years.
It might not have been abandoned because of failure. This was abandoned during the Great Depression, so it might have just been parked up and forgotten when the business failed.

I've seen trucks of similar age getting pulled out of the swamp....in Russia. Almost working right away!
This video helped me figure out something I own. I have a motorcycle trailer that a guy built in the 1970s. I could tell it was made from the front axle and frame channels of a truck, but I could never figure out what kind. I recognized the axle in your truck as the same one! So my motorcycle trailer is most likely made from a circa 1929 GMC or Chevy.
After 81 years sleeping she's ready to have another go. What a fricking achievement. Onya mate.
When hand cranking any old iron, pull up on your crank device, not down. If she back fires while pushing down it will break your wrist. If she back fires while pulling up, it will just jerk the crank out of your hand. Good video, thanks for sharing.
Would also help if he turned it in the right direction?
@@handyman75657 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. When he had the starter working, it was turning the opposite direction of most modern engines, same direction he was turning it by hand to test for spark. When using the ratchet on the crank, he's turning it backwards. The fan blades also indicate he's turning it the wrong way with the ratchet too.
My grandfather broke his wrist cranking a Model T.
Did you actually look at his hand crank?
How's he gonna bust himself?
But you lift up for strength. People can deadlift 800 pounds, but you can only push down your bodyweight
