I traded a paint horse and 2500 for one of these running with 45000 original miles back in 95. I still have it, but it's not running anymore. That's why I'm here
I came home from FFA and heard the song I love by Tom T. Hall and I broke the flathead V8 loose and ran on 3 cylinders! I caught the flathead fever, they are the best. Flatheads forever!
I have lots of video leading up to this moment, not yet on RU-vid. first, use fresh gas, nothing from the tank. I have hooked up a small plastic tank. second, don't use original wiring. I definitely had grounding issues, frayed wires. finally check timing and clean the points.
Also word of advice napa 1300 water pump lubricant with protect both water pumps The kicker is if water pump replacement is required .. remove all lower hoses and bolts Lower hose has one bolt inside yes inside to hold pump on if questions send contact information ill respond then you can remove contact information ill help if possible
Don't forget oil level in fan hub and few drops in distributor and generator Fan hub lubricant critical check every 3 months or sitting long periods On fan hub what looks like a small screw head is oil fill .. 30 wt winter 40 summer Put in 1.5 ounces in once you remove screw head its a 1 inch machine screw Make sure its at 12 position fill 1.5 to 2 oz oil then clock to 6 position to drain excess Then back to 12 replace screw snug tight .. few drops in dist and gen Use marvel mystery oil in fuel for upper lubricant when running a engine out of hibernation Loved the video
@@rustycaveman you want a 45 pound fan assembly going thru radiator Don't rev until oil topped off same for gen and distributor bronze bushings are dry Marvel mystery oil in fuel helps lubricant valves rings 30 wt valvoline oil or Napa oil ... same brand I own 15 of these trucks F 1 thru F5
it has been in my tiny garage all winter. complete electrical rewire. will be pulling it out soon for continued work. I have driven it up and down the driveway.
A long time ago I purchased a 1952 Ford truck like this for $50. It was seized, was painted gold using a brush with house paint. Had some rust, but it had a Mercury Flathead V8. I got it unstuck by filling the cylinders with auto trans fluid and letting it sit for a week, then rocking it back and forth against 3erd gear until the crank moved. Then I cleared the cylinders and put new plugs in it. Fired it up and smoke fogged the area. Lol. I used it as a general purpose truck for years, used as much oil as it did gas (pits in the cylinder bores you know). Memories.
