Will it run after 65 years 1939 ford 1.5 ton flathead v8 truck 

Because it’s just a bucket of bolts, even a schoolboy or a pennier who doesn’t understand this, the beast is coming, I did this when I was 12 years old, we bought different old cars and repaired them

We repaired them, remade cars with bugs in different countries, and so on. And we just rode on useful roads and then rented them back for twice as much as we bought them and the repairs cost 😁😁😁👍👍👍

very cool. i'm in a dayton suburb, so this is interesting to know.

​@@ryanbarker5217yeah I did some building archeology in town and dug up an old Ford dealer from the teens. Had a roof storage areas for Ts and when they tore down part of wall the ramp ghost paint was on wall and outline of old parts dept in closets

You can buy mine ? 😄👍

Bravo, ben detto!👍🏻

I agree! That would be an excellent video

Genius is the perfect word for this man

Fr this shit would have me throwing my entire toolbox lol

@@nev12345678910 Hashtag me too. Any children in the vicinity would be advised to wear earplugs

My father would have it set on fire lol.

@@-Barracuda-426 definitely. But it's different when it's the only family car and Dad has to work in the morning than just doing a will it run for fun.

That's why the speedometer goes up to 100. 😂😂

@@davida.p.9911 Out of everything he has done. I think setting the engine bay on fire and commenting "Yeah, she's running a little hot. We'll just crank over a few more times to put the flames out." is probably my favorite "Jenningsism".

@@Urabewe65 That dripping gas just a few inches away from the sparking battery had my clinching my teeth just a little bit. 😄😬

Don't know

Exactly lol

Apparently while the 1996 F-150 truck does have electronic ignition etc the engine it has originally had a distributor and a carburetor. So you could retrofit those parts onto a relatively new engine. The F-150 (and any other suitable modernized classic engine) will probably be the most modern, running, petrol cars one day!

Just because we don’t have the skills or tools. These things will be more ubiquitous as the future generations get into cars and they will learn their way around these systems/tools will be developed to simplify it. To this day my dad still laments about the loss of carburetors and hates fuel injection. This feeling ain’t new at all

Year: 2050 "Can't quite get the 2023 Kia Sorento running, on board computer keeps saying: Ignition error, Bluetooth device error, fatal exception: Start stop is not working, 5 of the 175 airbags is not working properly, lane departure assist is not working STOP ENGINE. Apple car play is down, etc."

@@nev12345678910 Yup. I am clueless on carbs, except i can replace jets or whatever and flush it etc, but f tuning it. FI to me is just plugging it in and getting a computer box on it and then laptop for the rest (I am an IT Pro so doubt much could confuse me at that point). As for most of the cars today, the worst is the infotainment systems, but those can be dumped for new aftermarket ones, even in 2050+. And i reckon in 2050 most hybrid cars will just be dumped powertrain wise and get a crate electric motor with crate bats and done w that ... or maybe a SBC 350 if allowed.

Another fellow NH'er! We should be so lucky to even find a vehicle this old in this shape. Seems the salt has returned most to the earth they sit on.

@@thrinmonI’ve got a question for you. I live in Texas and obviously down here we don’t get anywhere near the ice y’all get. Our state highway department uses a combination of de-icing chemical and sand. Both seem to do the job. Do you know if anything else is used besides salt?

Thank you for the info crazy to think some farmer bought this truck new and drove from Ohio to southern Missouri back in 1939

Thank you

Me too my friend. He has dozens and dozens of will it start videos that you can check out if you haven’t already watched all of em twice😂I know I have

"Restorations" ain't really the right word...but he does resuscitate them!

Based on its properties, you can fill it with anything you want; in the fifties we just poured aviation kerosene because acetone was too generous and expensive

I really hope you're only about ten years old. Otherwise, something is very, very wrong.

Thank you so much

I was to not sure if it was from the oil pan of diesel or them atf and acetone or the starter i rebuilt I will just say It was luck

39 Ford pickup is as rare as hens teeth so I hope this gets some kind of restoration. I've only ever seen a handful these days

thats what i would love to see done with this. Full restoration. @@maggs131

@@fetus2280 full restoration would be extremely expensive. This would make a great patina truck or even a ratrod. Get that flathead running good, stop the rust. 👌

depends on the type Of restoration. No need to chrome it all up or do all kinds of painting etc. Put it back the way it was, not showroom but with all its features, parts and whatnot. But if you want something bad enough, money means nothing. @@maggs131

@21:00 a huge fuel leak dripping and he hits spark with the starter... Amazing it didn't blow up or burst into flames.

You wouldn't if you actually lived here.

You are correct I didn’t notice until later but a few hits with a hammer fixed them

I did free them just didn’t show it a lot goes on that I just don’t film or the videos would be hours long

We all wish we could be a gun like you
