Richard virtually will not quit on a vehicle, no matter what its challenges. Once he's in it, that's it!
So true! Thanks for watching Marv, much appreciated 🙏
My dad told me you can't kill a flathead ford . He was right . This reminds me of my dad. He had a skill locating old cars and trucks. Then being able to buy them , get them running and take them home. They would be either sold or traded for another vehicle. My love of cars comes from growing up as a kid in the 70s out driving around in the country looking for cars. Thanks pops.
Thanks Patrick. I am glad this brought back some good memories for you.
@@whattherust I forgot to tell you Richard. Great job. Just goes to show what patience some knowledge and a few tools can do. You realy can't kill a flathead ford lol.
@@patrickmartin6037 Thanks again.
Christina is Richard's Beautiful Lucky Charm Good Call on the Bent Exhaust Good Job to Both of you.
Thanks Robert! Much appreciated 🙏
Richard has the patience of Job himself. It is refreshing to see someone as stoic as him. He gives perseverance a good name. Thanks for the inspiring video, Richard and Christina. Y'all are great.
Thank you Matt! We appreciate you 🙏
You hit it on the head! I'm new, was going to tell him he is quite the stoic. Wish he was my mechanic. Wonder if the two of them will come to Canada?
THIS is why I love watching this channel. A fantastic effort to everyone involved in getting the truck running for the young lad who loves it. Well done Christina on finding the exhaust blockage and I feel for Richard changing the starter 476 times.. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks very much. It was great having the family involved. So many good memories were made.
lol
Looks great, good job cleaning it out Cristina. Always remember to wear a good dust mask when digging around in them old vehicles. Love y'all's perseverance.
Christina sorry
The past lives in our fond memories. Bringing them back to life and hearing them breathe after all of those years is truly a blessing! Great job and congrats!
Thanks Ken!
An awful lot of glee in asking Richard what he was doing. Love it. You guys know you're blessed to be working on something like this with a group, and that makes it fun for me as a viewer. Now then, I'm sure I have a bad starter here on one of mine. Let me know when you're coming to Oregon and I'll even slide a piece of cardboard under the car just for you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Your never quit / can do attitude to get these old vehicles running is inspiring. All those little victories add up to the big one in hearing that engine run. Never get tired of watching you guys. Thanks for all your hard work in giving us these videos. Be well stay safe.👍👍🇨🇦
Great editing! All curses removed haha
Old Sckool doesn’t give up. More class in one inch of that truck than any new vehicle of any name brand .
The quality of the steel they used back in the day was amazing! What a cool Old Wrecker.
I love it. Such a great look, and a lot of interesting history.
If anyone can get a vehicle running you guys sure can! Great video!
Thanks Roy!
We had our ‘48 ford f1 in two parades last week,it has a flat head six and a four speed crash box transmission.I found this episode particularly entertaining
I'm happy to see all these folks lending a hand !! This is making the job of getting this old girl running a lot easier on Richard !!!
Thanks Gary! We had a great time. Appreciate you watching.
Christina rules, great job once again Richard! Thank you for what you do so well.
Thank you Henry! We appreciate you watching!
Good job I had my doubts about the starter but you pulled it thru 👍❤
Richard will never forget that starter! After a while all we could do was laugh about it. Thanks for watching, much appreciated 🙏
It's such an awesome job. Great video, both of you. Awesome story on the truck, and now it lives again.
Thanks guys!
@@christinarust6957 our pleasure.
20:00 - "You want a hammer?" Laughs... "I think I'll clean the ground". 2 seconds later "what are you doing" "We've got the hammer" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your "will it run" vids!
Thank you Ezzat! We appreciate you watching!
Great job! You stuck with it and won! It will be nice to see the truck drive in the future.
It will be by the end of the summer. We need to get the correct starter first.
Once again, Awesome job Christine for catching the plugged exhaust.
Thanks Jim! Much appreciated 🙏
No, thank you for the content!
Best video yet!
I've had my wife in the past say, did you check this?
And sure enough she was right! Great call on the exhaust Christina. That's why great couples make great teams.
And you two are an awesome team. Well done!
A lot of dedication in this one Richard. You are a more patient man than I will ever be.
Rock on brother...
Great job Guy's Big thumbs up to your Wife ! Love the sound of these old Flatheads. As always I liked and shared. Keep the great videos coming. All the best from Upper east Tennessee.
Thanks Bobby! We appreciate you watching!
What a great video, your hard work paid off, and great job to you Christina on calling the exhaust being clogged, can't wait for the next video, take care!!
Thanks Chucky! Appreciate you, take care.
Wow, Wow, Wow, That was a really intense situation over a long period of time. Seems like the piston rings eventually came back after all of that cranking and all of those starter swaps and swaps and swaps.
To be honest, I think this scenario was a great example of fundamental mechanics covered in that especially once the head was removed and the valves cleaned up where they would seal and with the last carburetor, The situation seemed to greatly improve. That sure was a great call in opening up the exhaust. That engine actually sounded pretty good in the end. I love the sound of those Inline 6 engines and especially the flathead engines. There sure was a lot of great teamwork from everyone to get the Ford running again after all of those years.
Great Video As Always.
You're right! The compression came back on all cylinders except #2. That was the one that had the most water damage.
@@whattherust Number 2 may still come back after the engine is run a bit more when the engine gets up to a good hot working temperature and the piston rings clear the cylinder bore.
The valves may be not sealing properly, So with that engine sitting all those years, Anything is possible.
By far my favorite ''will it run'' channel here. I've been hooked ever since that video with the 1948 Dodge Truck. I thought that engine was toast, and ever going to run again but man you proved me wrong. lol I love your guys's never give up attitude, bringing the old back to life!
Thank you! What a wonderful comment. Much appreciated 🙏
Mr. B. Here ! That old girl will need a hold lot of love ! Nice job !
Thank so much! We appreciate you 🙏
You should do compression test as soon as you can so your not pissing in the wind on all your projects
We actually did three different tests, but we did not include them in the final cut. In the end each cylinder came back except #2.
When the TDC whistle went off, my dog barked at my laptop.
Wow! Wow! Great job. Already looking forward to the next one.
Thanks David! We appreciate you 🙏
Wow Richard and Christina, you guys are the true shade tree mechanics after working on this truck! I will say I felt sorry for Richard with that starter,but he did not give up! Great job you two on this old girl or old guy!!
Thank you for the support Kat!
You guys are great and getting better with with every post . You are a very intelligent man and your wife is a great supporter. Keep it coming
Thanks Russel! More to come!
You are a very patient man! Love your videos!
Yes he is! Thanks for watching, much appreciated 🙏
Great to see you two again, Richard and Christina! Great video and old truck! Cheers to you getting it running again! Looked like it was a lot of fun, and hope to see more future videos.😁🛠️
Thanks Billy! It was a great time, lots of laughs.
Richard you have the patience of Job. What a challenge this was! Christina is a worthy assistant! Teamwork makes the dream work lol. If you are ever interested in coming to Canada i could keep the two of you busy for days with my old mini van.
Pure perserverence........ Gold star for determination.. well done.
Hey Mr. and Mrs. What the Rust! These pickups from fifties are amazing! Thank you guys for share that fun with us!
Richard is a kind of man never give up. Thanks both of you guys.
You're welcome!
Nice job guys. Wonderful persistence.
Thanks Clifford. I just could not take failure on this one. It is too unique.
Nobody else would have stuck to it you guys! Way to go! That engine sounds great.
Thanks very much Randy.
Goin’ for the Guinness World Record for most Starter Pulls 😅 Love your videos you two!
Confusing a few birds at one point.
That was a helluva job. Great work!
Christina can really stare a camera down. And then that smile.. You luck dog!
So true.
Awesome!!!!!!!........did not expect a 51 Ford tow,.awesome!!
Great job well done.
Thanks Steph!
An absolute gem of a video. Great team effort and a A++ for persistance. Grats Christina! Ya know, I wish I had Cre-Oil about 30 years ago :)
Thanks very much John.
Christina done a great job too
She sure did!
Tow Mater runs!!! The Engine Whisperer hits another home run. I admire your tenacity on this one, certainly tested your patience
It really did. Thanks for watching Steve.
I love watching you guys get these old cars running. I've done it a couple of times myself and some people ask why do you even bother. They don't get it, the feeling of hearing a motor start for the first time in years. Good job
Thanks very much Russell!
Damn Richard,you have more patience than I do. Way to go. You have a beautiful mechanics helper too.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate you 🙏
Awesome!!! Another winner!!! 👍👍👍👍 I wasnt aware a flathead 6 was made, but now i know. CONGRATULATIONS Richard and Christina!! And also Ricky and his family!! Very well done!! I'm gonna say this was the "Hokey Pokey" version of starter installation and removal....lol. 😂 Thanks for sharing guys!!
David thanks for watching and supporting our channel. Much appreciated 🙏 Take care.
I agree..all salvage yards are like paradise
Right on.
Never seen anybody pull a starter as much as Richard!!!! Talk about Deja Vue!! Great job on that old wrecker guys! that was a lot of intestinal fortitude Richard.
Your & mortske are the internet starter kings!
what a moment the people you help and meet . fantastic fight to save the truck
Thanks Brett! The people are fantastic. This was a great trip with a lot of good memories.
It's good that you have enough left in you to laugh about it!👍👍👍!
That carburetor looks like the old train station lanterns.
"All aboard!"
This is my fav revival show . Just love this ! Hi from Iceland ♥
Thanks for the compliment Kristofer! Much appreciated.
I don't know anything about the work you do, but it's really enjoyable to watch you. Maybe it won't be of any use to me in my life, but I learned a lot about old engines thanks to you. Greetings from Turkiye..
Thank you for the great comment. It is nice to know that you enjoy these videos.
Like a real man, he doesn't know the meaning of the word "NO"
And Christina is an Angel 👍
Absolutely the best at starting old vehicles. Always enjoy all your videos.
Thanks very much for the compliment!
This was immensely satisfying. I hope we can see more of this tow truck.
U2, look like you had a great blast. It was a fantastic video. Richard must have the patience of a saint and Christina. That was a good call take these great videos coming
It was a good time Dave. Thanks for watching.
I love the hootin' when you get these old gems running 👍😂👍
You guys are the best!
Thanks!
Everytime I watch an episode I think about what I could say to get my wife to do this with me someday and I think my chances are slim to none
I am a lucky guy for sure.
Bravo! Well done on getting another one running!
Thanks very much Peter.
Great job. Congratulations. Have a great weekend and stay safe....
Thanks Brent! Same to you.
You too! Thanks Brent!
I want to say thank you guys for a good video and I love you all and I hope you keep it up I wish I was able to help you guys I love working on old cars and trucks thanks again for a good show
You're welcome James. We have some good content of more old stuff coming soon!
Nice to see it start
the ol sanford & son truck 💯💯🔥🔥😎😎❤❤ nice 1 guyz 😎😎✌✌
Joe is actually has a white tee that he wrote Sandford and Son on with a Sharpie! Thanks we appreciate you 🙏
@@christinarust6957 thats awesome 😎👍
This was a tough one. But with determination and team work you got it running. There was no doubt that you guys were going to make it run again.
I loved hearing Ricky‘s story. But I couldn’t concentrate on his story because I was amazed by the size that guy‘s head, and how little that The hat looked on it. I just loved it it was a great story
Way to stick with it awesome job once again
I like ,never give up ,and in the end it did sure run ,and that was cool
Reminds of back in the day taking 3 junk starters and making 1serviceable unit. Just trying to get to work and payday. 1968 just got of the Marines and was poor. The Marines taught me to improvise, adapt and overcome. Lesson well learned and has served me well 😊
Richard, you are definitely tenacious when it comes to getting these old vehicles running.
Thanks David. I just hate to fail.
Felizidades por esta puesta en marcha 👍👍
Gracias Gorge!
The patience of a Saint pays off! Great job!
One if not the best rebirth ! Of a demised engine,hope it’s restored …
You have some serious tenacity man.......
Sometimes I just can't walk away.
Fresh oil on the cylinder walls will help compression.slant 6 Chrysler we're terrible for gas washing the cylinders down.
You are the car magician definitely on awsome.
Thanks very much Nelson!
@whattherust your so welcome I love the way you both love cars that's a real couple you both are amazing 👏 I definitely love all of your videos you don't give up that's determination.
You & Christina worked on that truck. Another one under your belt. I like u're determination . Richard always puts his mind. You both are a team, A-1 👍. I like the video's put out it's better than TV. Keep up the good work you guys make a awesome pair.
Thank you very much. This tow truck was very challenging, but the result was worth it. More to come!
Christine you are a ray of sunshine and very beautiful too! Way to make the show more interesting ! Love you guys!
Thanks very much Steven!
My wife says good for you Christina! She has found what I have missed on several things I was working on.
True. She came through big time!
I just love you two so much! I've learned so much from watching you. You work so hard and do such amazing work. What a great team you are! Christina you go girl, finding that plugged up exhaust!! You are so beautiful!! I can't wait to see Richard and his high school buddies working together!! God bless you both and thank you for what you do!! 💕
Thank you! We appreciate you watching:-)
Great save with the ol flathead six, I have a 1948 F1 with six banger in it. I have bunch of parts laying around since as you said in the video about all the V8 parts. I buy up 6 cyd parts I come across to stock pile them for down the road. If there's anything your looking for I might just have it
Cheers
Cody
Such a smart idea!
We need a starter for a 48 milk truck! I don't think we had the right one the entire time we worked on this truck.
@@whattherust I'll check my parts and see what I have !!. Facebook best way to contact you ?
Cheers
Cody
@@LongBowMan89 Best way is through email. Rdb6x@yahoo.com. Thanks very much!
you go girl
Thanks Jeanne!
Fantastic. Your determination is amazing 🙂
Thanks very much Ian.
One of Edna's siblings! So cool. Plus more siblings in the background. Cool to get that history of the truck from the owner. The stories make it so much more!
Great revival, should have given Mortski a shout on starter repair!! Great teamwork thanks for sharing 💨💨👍
Thanks Darren! We just could not find the correct stater. There are two for the flathead six, and we had a few of the wrong ones.
@@whattherust great work and determination, from Richard starter stripper 🛠🔧😳 and the lovely cab cleaning lady assistant 🧹😊
great job persistence paid off
Thanks!
THIS IS A COOL TRUCK. WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT.
A beast for sure!
Wow wow wow,
Richard you are genius again, great fun video.
Be well
Thanks Kevin!
Richard and Christina, you guys are amazing!
Thanks for the support Dominick!
Cool looking tow truck Christina and Richard, can’t wait to see this one run brother! I have all the faith in the world in you Richard, you’re one of the best I’ve seen on utube brother! Y’all be careful and stay safe my friends! Good luck Richard!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 That Marvel Mystery Oil does wonders if you have time to let it soak in, most of these utubers don’t want to take time to give the mystery oil time to do its magic! I don’t care to watch those guys, they think they have to get everything done in one video and you can’t if you want to succeed! You got this brother! No problem! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 Poor Richard and his starter friend, giving him a fit Christina! Say some prayers for him and his starter friend, hey Richard! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless you brother!
Thanks for the support Kirk. You rock!
Hello Richard & Christina great job and a lot of work. Just a suggestion for the next time. Sometimes it is easier to bottle feed or spray feed an engine with a bad carb, with the carb removed completely. I find a spray bottle with an adjustable atomizer nozzle works well. You can adjust to a spray density the engine will like. Keep the videos coming and keep swapping out those peskie starters.
That is a good tip. Thank you!
Lol. she is having way to much fun with Richard's r&ring that starter all day long!!
