    Keep up the good work.😁

      I just love seeing these old relics brought back to life - wondering about what the world was like when they were out there working. Was the driver a WW2 vet getting back to normal life? Was it used for hauling or logging? What did the country look like back then? How many stops were made for strong coffee and apple pie? It’s just so cool these things were built to last forever!

    Why not start with an oil drain first? There is sure to be much water which condensed from the air in the crankcase. You could fill it with oil drained from another cars routineoil change or get some inexpensive recycled or other oil. Also pull the oil pan to see the condition of the bores, pistons so you don't do more damage to the bores. Pull the head too.

    To free up tight pistons and sticky clutches, you can put the truck in reverse gear with the ignition off and tow it gently backwards. The low ratio is kind enough but torquey enough to push anything not completely seized into submission. Just watch for dropped valves or loose connector rods.

    • @richardburtonjr1889
      @richardburtonjr1889 ปีที่แล้ว

      No you cant do this if the brakes are seized or rusted solid. Its best just to pull the clutch and heads, let Marvel's Mystery Oil do its stuff for a few dats (if needed) and get other work done while it works it way in, to loosen things.

He said it wasn't Bad until one caught firei in Wisconsin, said the rear brakes overheated and blew it sky high. that was his last day hauling dynamite.
