Matt, I am sitting here in Pittsburgh with two of the original owners daughters as well as his son. It’s funny, we were literally talking about the farm you picked this up from today and we’re wondering about the jeep they grew up riding around the farm on and we’re hoping you had got it running. Lo and behold we see this video and watched it as a family and literally cheered when we saw you got it running and drove it! Seeing that had brought so much joy to the family and are so happy that we get to follow along and keep the legacy of this jeep alive. Hopefully it won’t be a year before the next video 😉
What are the odds!
Awesome
I’m a South African subscriber and am thrilled at your joy in unexpectedly seeing the jeep come to life. What wonderful memories 😊
From Pittsburgh also, waiting on running into this guy on my travels
Wow, how cool is that!
Trying to hide that red truck in the background..... looks like someone got some new wheels 👍
I love how Matt re takes some of the narration but then doesn't bother editing them out - shows that he's a real guy just having some fun and trying to make his best possible content.
Oh I meant to edit them out lol that was yet another mistake 😂🤦🏼♂️
@@DieselCreek don't ever change, your content is perfect exactly as it is.
I spy with my little eye… Matt got himself a nice shiny new work truck! Congrats buddy, you deserve it! Keep up the hard work and bringing those relics back from the dead.
This is what I was wondering too... I've seen it in a couple videos in the background and have looked for the video talking about it.... Seems I recall seeing the old blue one getting towed but don't recall seeing any details. I'm curious if the old 6.0 finally self destructed like they do.
Yeah! Would like to know more. Looks like a newer ford FX4. Pretty sweet! No need to hide it… give us a go around on it!
Try the thermostat mat
gotta love the old stuff , no need to remove ten things to get to the actual part you want to repair and plenty of room to work
I wish things were just as easy nowadays, even my 2002 seat leon (basicly a golf mk4) is an absolute shitbox because of stupid electronics.
@@BierdopjeNL That is why I would hate to get rid of my 99 Tahoe with a 350 ----lots of room. and only 120,000 miles but the air needs fixen.
@@markhamilton1847 mine got a 1.6L 16v putting out a whopping 105hp to the crank. Almost always has check engine light on, has an egr that ruins engines... probably gonna buy a little shitbox like a toyota aygo/Peugeot 107/citroen c1 or something similar. You probably never heard of those tho. Look em up, they're hideous but quite reliable except for an occasional waterpump failure.
I feel the same way as well.
I just pulled a twin turbo subaru legacy motor out to pull the heads off because it blew a head gasket what a fucking joke those things are
There is a real joy in hearing an old engine for the first time in decades. And it's all the more when you do it your self. Well done🔧☺️
Matt, you got the Jeep running and next is the "head-gasket," which I cannot wait to see!
Well done, Matt!
Hey Matt sweet little CJ gonna be a nice summer run around.
Don't know how far you want to go with it, but if you need any body panels, we manufacture all of the body panels for CJ models, in fiberglass right here in Arizona.
They'll never rust, reach out if you want to know more.
Look forward to seeing this back on the road.
There's something about putting 4 new tires on your car that just makes you feel good about life for awhile. It makes you just want to get going on a project, go for a drive... perfect motivation.

Immensely satisfying, Matt! I was given a derelict 1941 Ford Jeep around 1955 which I plus friends and family got running after much work and experimentation. Later I put a CJ2a body on it, my grandmother and I made a canvas top and it performed splendidly for years. Enjoy it and hurry up with the next installment!
I had a MB 1
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
You have a 41 GPW frame?
You could sell that and any OG driveline components and buy a restored CJ
Kyle, that was 65 years ago and any remains are long gone! As I recall, I used the original Ford frame and with minor modifications, simply bolted the CJ body on.
when i was 12 my dad taught me how to drive with one of these. We spent hours and days out in the field driving around. He sold it one day and i have missed it ever since. If i ever were to come across one like this at a cheap price I would frame off restore it and enjoy it. so easy to work on and fun to drive around...
I was a little bit younger than that when my dad taught me how to drive because we had a camp that was 2 miles from the township Road and this is in the 60s this is about 1967. My dad figured if he got hurt back there he was going to need somebody to be able to go to make a phone call and that was out at the Snyder residence. That was the nearest phone 2 miles away so I had to learn how to drive that international scout and 66 scout and it was kind of funny when my dad was gonna show me how to drive he says see that little branch on that tree over there break that off and give it to me OK daddy I think I was about nine years old now I think about it so I give them that stick andand he told me how to get going and I was started riding a clutch and he whacked me real good with that little stick I said what was that for because you never supposed to ride the clutch anyway you guys have a good day and I appreciate you wanting to get another vehicle like you’re talking about
Love the Wolf Creek Pass reference at the end!
Definitely a head gasket, and probably a good idea to replace the thermostat and its gasket as well. I actually love the narrow tires, those older Jeeps look great with them.
Hi how are you doing 😊
You nailed it on the right tires! Definitely matches the time period of the Jeep.
Exactly what I thought
And (roughly -- not sure what OEM size was) the right size. Old 4WD = cheesecutter tyres.
Plus less chance of getting stuck in mud or snow. Watch some old Model T films, skinny wheels, no getting stuck.
Totally agree 😊👍
A Roger Rabbit bit, AND a Wolf Crick Pass reference!! You are killing it Matt! 🤠
Love that sound when she smoothed out better. 71 CJ5 here 37,000 on it. Road it home when dad bought it out of the lot.
That’s a rare find! I had actually forgotten you had picked that up. It’ll be a fun toy once you get the head gasket worked out!
Also sounds like the valves might need adjusting
Four minutes in and I have to pause to say that I totally dig those tires you chose. They look good even as skinny pizza cutter wheels.
Nothing better for snow than pizza cutters.
@@bradleysmith2021 Absolutely, they look correct for a Jeep, it is a rough tough vehicle, not a pansy street rod.
I used to put parts like this in small cans---put the lid on--then place to in the back of my pickup to bounce around while I ran errands. By the time you get home it is clean as a whistle!
Matt, I love your videos, thank you for the time, effort and enthusiasm you put into them. Your Jeep project has been fun to watch.
One heck of a barn find, Matt. Your reactions when you get stuff running are priceless. By the way, did somebody buy a new truck? Possibly a red dually?..lol
It was nearly as exciting as being there.
I've got a 2001 Suzuki to play with. You've inspired me.
I saw that too.
New truck teaser?
I think old Blue finally gave up the turbo hauling Christine to the show last episode.
I saw the red dually as well. I hope we get to see a video going through the buying process as well as what happened to Old Blue.
A barn find, in most cases, requires repair work done by a skilled mechanic. Matt is LOADED with skills! 😍👏👍❗ Love these restoration videos! You da bomb, Matt! ❤❤❤ Love, love the Semi-Supervillans! Great background music! 🎼🎵🎶
Matt, awesome video as always. Love your patience and positive attitude!
Hi, just wanted to say that I just found your channel and I am really enjoying it. Even as somebody who is blind I’ve always loved cars and it’s nice to find a channel that still is able to keep me interested even though I can’t see the screen. Keep up the great work! And that jeep sounds great!
Yes! Been waiting for the jeep to make an appearance, thanks for all the hard work Matt!
Same
Hey Matt, You might wat to do a coolant pressure test on the system before tearing the engine apart. Those bubbles could have been air sucked down through the water pump because the rad wasn't full. A pressure test and borescope in the cylinders at the same time would give you a better diagnosis. My dad had one of those in the early 70's. It was sweet.
I agree! Saved me lots of time in the past!😉😉
Glad to see you come back to this project. The original barn find video is what brought me to the channel. Fantastic!
Stoked to see the jeep back on the channel! looking forward to following the project!
Matt - your reaction when these things fire up for the first time is why I’m hooked to this channel! Your enthusiasm is genuine and it always shows! Keep up the great work!
Would love to see a full wash and detailing session on this jeep. Great video!
Great job, Matt!! So much fun working on old equipment!!
I absolutely loved watching you breath some life back into this old Jeep. I'm gonna be hanging on a hook until the next installment.
Many many thanks.
David in the UK.
I consider you my favorite TH-camr I’ve been watching before the first auto car video and the journey has been amazing you’ve come so far. From a muddy treefilled road to a nice smooth driveway and all the other accomplishments like a new shop starting from 2 containers that’s a big accomplishment from just 1 man. Thanks Matt for bringing us along I’ve learned so much.
Jeeps are tough, this one will do you proud. Thanks for sharing your journey and your passion for old iron. Its amazing how well things were built to last and they do! Thanks for running us over again..
Plus they are lightweight and low on power so they are made for those narrow tires that was standard offroad in the past and worked wonders on the early Jeeps and Land Rovers. Hope the wife will be happy with her new summer ride!
Hi Roger how are you doing 😊
I've been looking forward to seeing an update on the jeep that much im currently on holiday sat on a beach in Greece watching.
Great video keeping up the good work
This was an awesome show. Very satisfying to watch someone who is skilled at their trade and is passionate about it. Hopefully everything goes well with rest of the Jeep recovery.
Matt your enthusiasm, humor with a great laugh, plus a skill level to make things work. Now on to the brakes. You step on the petal and it goes to the floor and stays there like stepping on a plum. I have been laughing at that for quite awhile. Keep it coming
Looks great, Matt! Always enjoy your big grin of satisfaction when you're conquering another 'throwaway'. I never get tired of your videos, keep 'em comin'! Any current status on your new building? I can't be the only one with that question!
I’ve been working on a 1970 CJ 5 for two years. It’s been a very enjoyable experience. I love your videos. Thanks again.
Starter motor looks like it was carved from a rock 😂 Great work cheers Matt🍻
It would be awesome to throw one of the many Kubota diesel engines you have laying around in that and have a sweet little rig!
With your explanation, I finally got what "the rings loosening up" really means.
Great job Mat! When it finally ran smooth and you revved it up it sounded so much like the classic Jeep. Took me right back to watching episodes of MASH...
Looks like you got a new super duty dually there. Almost red in color. Very nice.
Yeah i was like. The blue Jeep is cool, had one when I was a teenager. But I’ve never had a big as red heavy duty Ford.
those skinny tires look very good and probably period correct-ish. Would be nice to see more of it in future video's!
Those skinny , aggressive treads will drag you through almost anything. Clear up to a 300 dollar tow job.
Yeah, they suit it just fine. Wouldn't want a lot more rubber than that on account of the modest power available.
So happy you got back to the Jeep. The first video on Jeep it what introduced me to your channel. Can’t wait for the next video on her. Such great patina on the paint.
Love the steppin' on a plum. Wolf Creek Pass is a great song, as is this channel! Keep up the great work!👍👍👍
One of the best channels on TH-cam. Always great content and Matt just loves doing this. Should be over a million subs by now really.
YES!!!! No If's And's or but's! Matt, if it just the head gasket, I would most definitely love to see you give this jeep some love, attention and get it back to being roadworthy. The jeep design makes for a very easy disassembly /reassembly it is an ideal candidate for a minor frame off restoration. A bit of body work, a lick of paint, canvas top and this thing would be sweet.
thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching you get one of pieces running your excitement is truly entertaining thanks for taking us along on this adventure. it was fun
I'm so glad you're mindful of what you put on/in the world! Thanks for being eco friendly :) also, my 2 year old son Reuben absolutely loves your videos! "More Matt" is a common phrase in my household! He's your biggest little fan!
Your excitement is showing!
Been subscribed just after you built your container building. Your videos just keep getting better!
Welcome, I also subscribed during his building of the container shop. Been loving it ever since.
@@bitsnpieces11 subscribed to your channel. Perhaps you might enjoy following along as I get my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban (Wagon) back to daily driver condition.

Me three! Do y’all remember how many subscribers were there when we started at that time?
Me four.
@@tmscheum I've been too busy watching to count.
Your once again in your element with making old things run again. I really hope you rebuild this to look close to new again. It seems to have that capability from the looks of it. Not a total rust bucket and minimal fender damage... Thumbs Up!
I thank you for many hours of entertainment. This Jeep will be great fun and all of those restoration jobs will give you lots of content. The tires you chose are an excellent choice ,you didn`t need to go wider. Good luck and keep all the good stuff coming.
Great job Matt. I can’t decide what I like most, the gas tank or the seat cover. Thanks for the fun video.
Is that a new red service truck I spy? You holding out on us Matt? LOL
Great content fantastic to see it run nice to see old stuff come back to live brilliantly filmed thank you so much for your content
Great video Matt! Can't wait for the next video! Hurry up!
Love it! A Jeep is a great way to tool around and they are also therapeutic! If either I or my wife have had a bad day, just a short ride in the Jeep will cause all that to just melt away. I looked for one like this for a while and then finally bought an ‘01 Wrangler over 10 years ago and have never regretted it!
I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I wait with anticipation just like a little kid for your next video. Keep them coming. I've learned so much about repair and mechanics just by watching you work. Thank you so much, you make this old man happy.
Thank you! I’ve been waiting to see more on the old Jeep and once again Matt you never disappoint keep up the great work and video content
Yeeeessss the Jeep is back!!
That's awesome that it runs so good. You're gonna have so much fun riding this thing.
Golden Age of Trucking. Good channel with pictures out of the 40-50s. Lots of A Cars.
Nicely done young man! Always enjoy the ride along. Never weaken.
Finally. Ive been looking forward to seeing another vid about the jeep since the first one.
You're happiness is infectious mate really liking this project as I do to be fair with anything you do. Relative newbie i got on board with the church refurb. God bless from a Shropshire Diesel Creek fan.
I'm a cj guy so really enjoying this video as I do all of them. Keep up your great work of supplying great content.
It's great to see it going again Matt. It's also good to see your awareness of editing so you are live editing as you film along . Keep the good stuff coming Matt. Because what ever it is so far , it's good stuff if it's diesel creek
Thought I was losing it hearing double had to rewind and check 😂
@@kindlyrewinded7669 yep . I had to get used to it myself . He sometimes does repeat himself if he thinks it donr sound right for editing. But usually leaves it in anyway. Not many content makers have that ability. It saves in filming time for sure
Yours has become one of my favorite channels Matt, you never disappoint.
I really love your cam in the road being driven over. Reminds me of The A Team . Keep em coming Matt
Those Jeeps are so basic and easy to work on and built tough!
I sure wouldn't mind owning one myself. Fun project Matt.
Hi Ghett how are you doing 😊
Great job Matt, love the old stuff coming back to life.
I'm definitely looking for more! I'm on the hunt for an old Jeep, and love seeing how you approach problems with this little beast!
Hey Matt love your vids the sound of the fan along with the eng takes me back to my military police patrols in the jeeps we drove in Germany in 1971 72 they were always fun and did the job
Matt putting fuel in from the passenger seats is reminiscent of me putting def in my GMC...
Also, the starter solenoid makes me really appreciate philips screw drivers. Thank you for the content, Matt! Always enjoy watching.
oh man what a treat of an episode!
nothing like the love over a jeep!
thanks for bringing that sweet sweet ride back to life! wish I'd be lucky as you to get my hands on one!!
Awesome video those old jeeps never die well worth fixing it . Keep these great videos coming Matt i love watching them and makes me a little jealous that i dont have great projects like yours. No room in the city for any of those toys so i get my fix through you thanks!
Definitely worth doing the head gasket, Matt. That things a gem!!! How fun (after the head gasket part) Looking forward to the next video. Respect from Texas.✌
glad you're finally starting to work on a Jeep that was one of my first videos I watched
These are the vids that hooked me in the first place. Bringing these beauty's to life is awesome Matt. Great work as always👍
Even though I've watched the previous Jeep video, I'm going to go back for a refresher, and double my enjoyment at the same time. 😁
Love that wolf creek pass reference. Kinda like stepping on a plum. 😂😂😂
Great video Matt. I love watching all your videos, but this one was special. I restored a 1958 Jeep CJ3B ‘ barn find’ back to showroom condition and this brings back the great feeling of accomplishment I felt, as it gradually came back to life. Can’t wait for future instalments of your work on the old girl. 👍
Awesome efforts Matt, thanks for sharing. Those old Jeeps certainly have a very distinctive sound! 👍
I have been waiting to see another installment on the Jeep rescue. I am happy to see the old lady up and about after setting in the dark for so long. You definitely have some mad skills and a large barrel of good luck. 👍👍👍
Love your excitement and enthusiasm. You are truly amazing at what you can bring back to life. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Peace
Hi Dave how are you doing 😊
So much fun! So much better to watch at 3 AM! Can't wait to go to work this morn!
MATT! Hell yes a DC video on a Saturday! And its the Jeep! Life is good! LOL
Been waiting for this Jeep to make another appearance! Awesome
Hey Matt, I sure enjoy your channel. You keep it real and that's what makes it so good to watch. I have many projects myself that I'm working on, some are taking along time to finish, but always with a plan like you. Glad to learn that the big shop is going up. Looking forward to seeing videos on the build.
It’s going up now
Keep them coming Matt very satisfying watching you fixing old machinery 👍
Everything you do is so exciting. "I think the fourth cylinder just kicked in." Keep up the excellent video.
Could never see the same satisfaction from a fully electric vehicle revival. Great work, masterclass for all us rookies!
Hi, I'm Ruben Zarate, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I really like old vehicles, the Jeep is so cute.
So excited to go on the first trip with you!!! Awesome My man 👌👌
The good news is you got the front 1/2 of the engine/compartment steam cleaned!
Love watching your videos! Look forward to every one.
Love the old Jeep! And nice dually I saw in the background.
Love how original it is too! Might need a seat cushion down the road 😎
Awesome project Matt. This one should be fun this. Jeep On !!
I love the “Wolf Creek Pass” reference.. Also, what a coincidence that you would post this video on the day I drug home an old ‘82 CJ7!
Happy Saturday! Can’t wait to see how this turns out Matt!.
