She sounds good. I'm impressed with how you are methodical about how you revive the old stuff. It drives me to distraction how some TH-camrs draw it out. Thank you for the good content due to judicious editing.
I ran across this channel by accident and can not stop watching it. Love his explanations with no foul language and like the battery rabbit he keeps on going and going with the patience of Jobe . I am hooked until one of us dies .
It makes my day when I see these "ole dinosaurs" come back to life. To me, it's almost like these old machines are just resting, waiting for the chance to show their "glory" again. God Bless you Sir. And keep up the good work.
Nice !! I can not believe how good that engine sounds! Amazing job ! So cool to see these forgotten family members come back to life. Thanks for sharing with us again !! peace
I’m so impressed with your knowledge and ability to get these old pieces of history running. You inspire me sir to never give up no matter how hard any situation seems !! 👏
Man yeah....Love to see these old classics brought back to life. Too many youtube channels drag out the restart/restoration over many episodes. I like the more straight forward "get'er done" approach. Thank you for posting.
I have noticed a difference between you and other similar channels. Usually when they see all that rust in the cylinders, they give up instantly. You just keep on working until the thing starts! Great work
Said it before. I'll say it again. You are a incredibly smart young man. Watching you and your mannerism is amazing. Can't wait for the next 5. Lol 😅 keep up the great work.
Great video! Hydrochloric acid, AKA muriatic acid, works very well to remove rust. It also readily dissolves aluminum, such as pistons. I use it to remove smeared on aluminum from burned pistons in the cylinders of performance 2 cycle engines that use iron sleeves. I believe that year chevy truck used cast iron pistons rather than aluminum.
If there is something I've learned frkm watching your videos is to be patient, you can't rush things up. You have the patience of a saint, and eventually get things done.
Gives me hope for my dad's 41 Chevy truck he gave me. Hasn't ran my entire adult life of 37 years. I got bored about 12 years ago and dumped oil down the plug holes and turned it over for a while. Maybe I'll go tinker on it more!
If I had a vote I would go for longer, more comprehensive videos. Failing that, just keep on keeping on. 206k subs and you can't be doing much wrong. 11/10 Mr. Jennings. 🇬🇧👍
Sounds good! Looks like someone replaced the engine at some point, the old Chevy 216s and 235s had 10 mm "peanut" spark plugs (pre 1948 or 49) AC 104 or 106, and the early carbs were made by Carter. I have a 1942 Chevy one and a half ton i need to unstick, it has an Allis-Chalmers power unit and hammermill mounted on the back, some lady had it put together years ago for going farm to farm to custom grind feed. Not sure what year the GM Rochester carbs were started, I'm thinking 1947. Keep up the great videos!
They didn't go to the 8MM plugs until '41. You're right about the Rochester model B carburetor; 1950 was the first year for them, although Rochester made replacement carburetors for the early engines back to 1932.
When you hear people say that they don’t build things like they used to, this is exactly what they’re talking about.. let’s see you get your modern car running after it’s been sitting in a field for 50 years with a locked up everything.. never gonna happen.
I like the birds nest option and the dirt dauber performance package. Like the other guy said youre amazing, hahaha.. I liked the muriatic acid idea. I thought it wouldve ruined things. Good job. Nevermind that tornado horn. 👍
AFTER TAKING THE LID OFF SOMEONE ELSE WOULD OF LOOKED AT IT AS A BOAT ANCHOR, BUT YOU MY FRIEND MIXED UP THE RIGHT RECIPE, AND BOOM !!! MUCH RESPECT!!! GREAT VIDEOS!!!!!
Had one truck with a 292 when I was a kid. We moved to Kansas and we sold the truck to a coworker who put the engine in an F100. That engine probably had 700,000 miles on it before the guy got rid of the truck.
This is the America I grew up in. My Daddy would drag something like this out of the woods, get it running and driving, and haul pulpwood till she gave up. I love these videos.
A little trick I learned years ago is if you have a cylinder that has pits in it you can fill them with 2 part cold weld and it will work just fine. Make sure you fill it flush with the cylinder wall before it sets up and gets hard. It is much easier to build it up than bore it out so do not over fill.
@@kingofsludge7262 Sorry friend but no video but it is simple to do. If it is a small pit use something like a single edge razor blade to fill it with the cold weld. You do NOT want to leave excess putty.
@@kingofsludge7262 It does not work for long, the heat expanding and contracting the cylinder wall will eventually make it go byebye. It's a temporary fix to get by a little while until you get it fixed, you do run a major risk of damaging the rest of the engine if the putty suddenly decides to come lose with a running engine..
@@kingofsludge7262 I used the Car Quest brand and never ever had a problem. I also used it on a Nissan truck head and drove the truck for close to 100,000 miles before a rod started knocking.
I just bought a 1965 Chevy short bed stepside still has the original 235 6 cylinder and three on the tree, she'd been sitting since 1979 motor was locked up as usual and did the normal soak and a little grunting and groaning she came free always fun to work on a classic
His accent combined with “Deluxe bird nest package up there” completely split my sides.
This guy is a national treasure.
He's probably been doing this with his grandfather since he's been a toddler
Ya gotta love a guy that's more interested in getting an old truck running than an approaching tornado! 🙂
This man is amazing. Fixing up classics while a tornado passes by haha.
Yeah that sounds like a tornado siren
how many has he fixed tho
gettin' them runnin'
Not sure where in Arkansas he is, but there were definitely tornados
@@NuffMan_ really none, he gets the engine started and moves to the next.
Thanks! Love your videos sir!
Thank you I very much appreciate

Thank you I try and make it straightforward I had about 10 hours of footage on this one to go through
I’m reading this reply with your accent and voice, i think i have to stop to bingewatch your videos sir 😂
❤❤❤

What’s difficult about it? No magic required.
Air fuel and spark make them all work. No smoke and mirrors needed.

No foul language? I have heard “dadgum” and “oopsie”. I expect to hear “oh, sugar jets” any time soon.
I love this so much. *Car is literally falling apart* You: "Well, only thing that's bad about it is the motor is locked up". Gold.
She ran a lot smoother than I would've given it credit to. Great job! Hope you and yours got through Friday okay.

It's amazing that old chevy ran so well considering all the rings were stuck and valves pitted giving it about 0.7:1 compression lol

Wonderful! Old Chevy we drove them for many years. I learned what you do from my Dad.
I have noticed a difference between you and other similar channels. Usually when they see all that rust in the cylinders, they give up instantly. You just keep on working until the thing starts! Great work
Yeah, so many "mechanics" just know remove and replace.
It always blows my mind how much you refuse to give up on these engines. Can't find this kind of content anywhere else. Keep up the good work!!
Said it before. I'll say it again. You are a incredibly smart young man. Watching you and your mannerism is amazing. Can't wait for the next 5. Lol 😅 keep up the great work.
I really enjoy watching you bring those old motors back to life. You are an inspiration to all backyard mechanics everywhere. Great work 👏 👍
Dude that is so amazing I can't believe you got that old beat-up engine to run again. You are the man
It’s very amazing after all these years these engines still sound new and strong. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us….
It always amazes me that you can get these old neglected treasures running. Much respect. 😊
This crazy! I love seeing those old engines running again. Thanks buddy.
"and the hood's falling apart" *crash* and there it goes! 🤣 man you're a wizard
Love seeing stuff like this!. Old bits of kit, coughing back into life and onto their next chapter!. Good on ya fellas!. Maddog, Melbourne Australia!
Glad to see you uploading after the bad weather. Always fun watching these; like watching a "lets play" but with beautiful machines.

Thank you and Yes it is ruff on aluminum and you are correct lots of the older engines such as this one have tin pistons or cast iron
these engines have real pistons usually cast iron.
I bet you could get the Titanic back up and running too! Man you can fix up anything. Great vid.
You videos are therapeutic, never stop doing what you love
Your dedication to making these run always amazes me. Thanks so much for your videos.
I love how great it ran and sounds. Want to see more please.
If there is something I've learned frkm watching your videos is to be patient, you can't rush things up. You have the patience of a saint, and eventually get things done.
Sounded pretty dang good and the more it ran sounded like it was coming around
Great job getting this badly stuck engine free and running again, love the sound of these old engines 👍
After pulling those handfuls of rust scale out of cylinders Im very surprised it had enough compression to fire let alone run! Well done!🇦🇺👍
The effort you put in on the videos and revives are astounding. I wonder what the bottom of the oil pan looks like
Thank you and it was clean the Diesel fuel normally cleans them out pretty good so does the acetone
Always love it when you upload. Your videos are always clean, and no b.s. fooling around.
Nice job.....always amazing to see you get some of these to actually run. 😁

Dude you are badass. I used to watch my grandfather crank stuff that didn’t have any business running. You’re awesome man
Amazing to see this old truck run! 😎 Great job!
This guy is the best!! The fact that he can get these things running after so long is amazing
I am absolutely shocked that thing ran at all. Good job sir!
Damn! Can’t believe she ran! Well done!
really great job of getting that old chevy running again, well done
Love your videos man. It may sound weird but they’re actually relaxing for me to watch lol.

I’d be confident enough in a Toyota 4efe but not anything newer
And that's a FACT ! Green ? The only green is the fools who think cars with 15 computers and built in obselesence is good for the planet.
IT'S ALIVE! Awesome job 👍
Brilliant ! Enjoyed this no end , thank you !!
I'm hippie and artsy as they come, but something about this dude reviving cars is really inspiring. Makes me wanna get my hands dirty.
Just keeps getting better every time I see a new one!!!
Great stuff man. Can't wait to see more of the diamond t.
You rocked it bro!! Love how you never give up. Keep up the good work!!
I like the birds nest option and the dirt dauber performance package. Like the other guy said youre amazing, hahaha.. I liked the muriatic acid idea. I thought it wouldve ruined things. Good job. Nevermind that tornado horn. 👍
Wow. I never expected you could free up that engine without taking it apart. Just wow
Awesome! Great to see the old iron come back to life
I would like to see the entire engine on fire.
Truly, patience is a virtue….!
Excellent job ….👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻😊

That seemed like a close-run thing, but you convinced that engine to open up.
Fantastic!
Great job sir! You r very talented
Thank you
She's almost ready fer the Interstate! 8^) Nice one.
WOW! I can't believe you got that sucker running! Nicely done!!!!
I love watching these old idle machines coming back to life!
good job man what a rush to breath life back into some old rig 😎
She sounds fantastic
I don't know half of what you're doing or how you do it, but I'll watch it all day long!
the best "will it run" channel on youtube, hands down
Thanks foe sharing your awesome video. You really nailed the start up.
I'm enjoying the more frequent content lately hopefully you keep it coming 👍👍👍
Will do new video tomorrow and it’s going to be a good one
I admire your grit to never say never. She's ready for a road trip.
Couboy you are making her dancing very nice.. there it goes.. well done master.
I'm 3/4s of the way thru the video and they are still on their first battery, well done 👏👏👏
You are the man!! Scott from Cold War Motors would be proud of you! Regards from Ody Slim
Damn! you're the "old engine whisperer" Nice Work!
You are master magician, (Filming+Talking+Repairing) at the same time.
