NEW TIRES ARE HERE FOR MATER!! & LOTS OF ISSUES..

[@thebetter6.020]

Just make sure to step back for a second and take a breather through all this. She is a 60 year old truck so it’s gonna be difficult. Love the progress so far though 👍

[@jg5001]

The truck is reaching, if not already, reached 70 years old (she's a '51)

[@tylerlunn89]

Military green and flat black wheels and flatbed would look good

[@KingGrim19XX]

I agree a flat od green and flat black would be bad ass

[@loganbarnett_91yt]

How about red???

[@daxbarnes1073]

How about you do it like mater

[@shanekelly9974]

You young men need to add lead additive to that unleaded gas, that enging was made to run on leaded gas it will only eat the valves up with out it.

[@danielmaguire8007]

Correct sir

[@sethbawden]

Or racing fuel has dam near the same octane

[@michaellorah9051]

@@sethbawden lead more has to do with lubrication than octane rating.

[@101Volts]

Amsoil Upper Cylinder Lube's pretty good, but it's a bit costly. It also raises the fuel economy a bit, but it's not worth it alone for fuel economy unless you're driving a highly fuel inefficient car. I also tried using a Diesel Additive, Opti-Lube XL (their best additive for raising lubricity alone) in my 05 Explorer. I did it because I had it on hand, from a gallon jug, and it's cheaper than Amsoil UCL (if bought by the gallon.) My car's still running fine (I only used it for 4 or 5 tanks, though.) I don't have definite A-B-A-B testing for if adding this to gasoline worked to just raise fuel efficiency (which was my primary reason for using it.) I also have no idea what the long-term effects on a Gas engine are if it runs this particular Diesel additive. However, if used in nearly the same ratio, OLXL seemed to be better than AUCL for reducing wear.

[@jaylozada3407]

Good job guys, y'all making lots of progress on the ole 51. She will be back on the road in no time!!

[@georgecostanza9387]

I’m super interested in just seeing the old original truck work and tow your trailer. I think diesel swaps are over done an original old truck is badass

[@ashtonstultz4493]

Great progress guys. Reason the carb didn't leak before is because the bowl never got full so it had no pressure. Get a carb rebuild kit and redo the jets, floats as well as the valve in the bowl. All new gaskets and she will be as good as new. Rebuild kit should have everything you need.

[@ParoDoXz]

Ashton Stultz Thanks man! We are working on it as we speak

[@ashtonstultz4493]

@@ParoDoXz good to hear man. I've worked on alot of older vehicles before but nothing quite this old. But I'm more than happy to offer whatever advice I can through the comments.

[@djeskandalo8394]

old csrs are really frustrating to get them going but you need a ton of pations but ones you get it is the best feeling in the world keep up the good work, cool friend.

Paint it everybody nowadays is doing patina it is overdone to me it just another reason to be lazy paint it two tone Black and Garnet red 2002 Dodge Ram color

[@dieselman8v923]

@Tony Ashford ^^^ Offended patina lover

[@mikemullay5622]

I agree. Patina is a fad that needs to go away. Old trucks and cars were never intended to appear like that unless they were sitting in a wrecking yard in the middle of the desert.

[@Bigjoelifts15]

Guys you are doing a great job .its 70 years old .be patient .you are lucky to getting running at all .love the spontaneous content.big love from the uk

[@robwilson1140]

Any time a carb sits that long it needs to be opened up cleaned and new gaskets. Should have been job one. I had one sit for only three years and had to do it.

[@JDLarge]

I agree, OD green with flat black, turn it into a 50’s army flatbed😉✌🏼First do a complete rust stop coating in the entire vehicle. Whats your mos? I’m retired 27 years, combat Engr first 13, then the last 14 in transportation. Thanks for your service brother.

[@ToothpickBuilds]

The truck has been setting for 32 years all the gaskets on that motor need to be replace, you can’t just cut corners with automobiles that old, the engine needs a complete rebuild from top to bottom,

[@DavidRamirez-ob1kt]

Wicky1277 lol no it does not that old ass engine isn’t gunna be there for long anyways

[@fightzoid]

It doesn't need a rebuild. The engine in my truck is 90 years old and runs like a top after sitting for years. You just have to do it right.

[@arthurhudgens8213]

What's so handy about these old dodges is the fact most bearings all throughout it are standard machine bearings that can be found easily usually there is a number on the race edge that states its part number. Also all oil seals throughout this truck are standard parts. Now days most manufacturers use bearings and seals that can only be bought from the dealer because they make them specifically to fit their design....good luck yall are a bunch of hard working determined fellers..that's kinda rare these days

[@AlaskanGeronimo]

When I was 16 I bought a 52' Dodge Half ton, flat six, "Pilot House" 5 window cab, but it was running at the time, for $400.00. I think I busted every rusted bolt and rebuilt everything I could on it. Luckily my Dad was a awesome Mechanic/Machinist and taught me as we went... It also had a "Fluid Drive Coupling". Took an ol' timer from my Dad's shop to tell me about that...

[@hollistipton5061]

Glad see work on this truck you get all the little things done

[@WeBleedGreen1]

Carb rebuild is due. Also take a blow gun and blow out the lines before the pump to make sure everything is clear from there to the tank. You can also pressurize the fuel tank to get fuel to the carb easier and quicker but be careful that you dont blow out the gasket on that fuel bowl like I did on an atlas 10k forklift

[@WeBleedGreen1]

@@jerrysmith8086 yeah I'm tracking. But after he blows the lines back to the tank he gonna need a way to get the fuel back to the carb

[@dalejohnson9342]

Take some diesel in the fuel tank and then shake it around to clean some of the crud out so that it can flow through the lines. Also push air through the lines to clear out all the trash in them. If the fuel pump is not working you should be able to take it apart and use a piece of rubberized cloth (like a thin tire sidewall ) to make a new diaphragm for the pump.

[@ehTV1000]

nothing good comes easy! loving the rig man.

[@ParoDoXz]

Thanks man! Very true!

[@khalidnaitelmouddene3279]

Man you need to open and clean that engine .. it needs a lot

[@islandboii6706]

God bless y'all for bringing her back to life . just please don't paint it pink ect and put a crazy spoiler on her . keep her old school like the old school . #Respect #MakeTrucksGreatAgain

[@adamtereska8734]

Green with a black flatbed

[@dalejohnson9342]

The leaks indicate fuel needle and float level mis-adjustment. open it back up and check for dirt in the seat of the needle and bend the float tang a slight bit (hardly any change makes a big change).

[@erica6445]

Paint or clear will depend on what you are going to do to the inside. Either way it will be nice just depends on the overall look your going for

[@barnettimpala]

Definitely gotta paint mater. It doesn't have a nice patina to clear coat. I still gotta stick with dark maroon with polished 19.5's. But if your keeping the old school look, either a bright white, medium factory style green, or a deeper red-orange would look awesome.

[@owenjohnson2808]

Of anybody has'my told you, Matter has a 2 speed test axal. The calender on top of the scale and the knob on the side of the shift lever in the cab. You pull the knight for high speed. It should use vacuum to work.

[@Nolz-nr7cj]

The starting fluid is what took the gaskets out

[@ryanc8188]

Welcome to workin on an old truck if it's not one thing it's another just keep plugging along that's all you can do. Keep up the good work ol mater will get there one day

[@jeffreymurdock8366]

I think paint it period correct for that truck. That o/e red or green

[@jermainewilliams1299]

I’m glad you got the truck running and I’m sure your glad too, but I can see the disappointment in your face being tired of one thing after another

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Patina is cool, but paint is pretty 😍. Midnight Blue would go nice with the black.

[@demetresrobinson2694]

If a 12 valve will be kinda of a problem, have you considered a 3.9 4bt?

[@leviwindsor997]

Demetres Robinson I like the idea but I don’t know if a 4bt would be sufficient enough for 1 ton.

[@demetresrobinson2694]

Levi Windsor, with the proper gearing it will be great. Remember there's a lot of v6 and old 300/283 straight sixes trucks out here still today working right along with bigger engine trucks. They're just geared lower to pull

[@kaisantiqueengines569]

You Prabably need to rebuild the carburetor

[@NikitasCap]

Clear it and let that history/age shine! 👍

[@mikemullay5622]

I am glad you shut it off. Once that gas cooks off you will have more than just issues.

[@redneck6pack]

Don’t let issues get to you! It sat a long time and may had a not so easy life when it did run! Just rebuild the carb and fuel system tank included and heads and.... just keep fixing it! It ran so it’s alive!!! Yehaw

[@clevelandmaker386]

man I wish that I could have been there! those tires would have been done by now

[@ronwood7040]

You can run this truck on an 8 volt battery without changing out wiring. The carb is an easy rebuild. I have had several of these 50's Dodge trucks. That old stuff is very easy to work on.NAPA carries a lot of the parts on the shelf.

[@joshmaynard8231]

That ole truck sounds cool. Looks like it's time for a carburetor rebuild kit. An a fuel pump. Love old trucks like that easy to work on. An sound cool too. Enjoy the videos BTW guys.

[@ParoDoXz]

I agree man! Thanks josh!

[@dannyrbailey]

Probably need a new tank and lines. Retrofit a new system. Who knows what’s in that tank haha. Good luck buddy it’s a hard job this one but it’ll pay off and it’s fun watching y’all and the build 🤘

[@mckrackin5324]

At first I was all about the clear coat as is but the more I look at it, it's not really the right kind of distressed look. It's more rust than bad paint. Now I'm in the paint gang. Your truck though. Just have fun with it. And yeah, that carb needs a complete rebuild.

[@davidcosper6500]

Badass build! Can’t wait to see which direction you go with it.

[@raymondjohnson1995]

Black rims with chrome lug nut covers.Bad ass!

[@justinphillips6136]

Paint it a solid color. Maybe drop a 4bt Cummins in it

[@farmalllover8217]

Nice video. Tap on the side of the carb with a wrench or something. Not too hard tho. Sometimes it helps free up the float. It could probably use a seal kit tho. After doing some research you should swap a cat engine in it or maybe a 6.0 🤔

[@night07train55]

Find out if can get the original color maybe?🤔

[@ryangreenwood2681]

the carb needs rebuilding but sometimes a wrap of a hammer to the fuel bowl will dis lodge the needle

[@561candyman]

I say do whatever you have time for or what budget you have for it.

[@waltjackson9381]

Been watching you since you worked on the 2nd Gen in Hawaii. First time I've commented though. Just my opinion but unless you plan to run that engine, I would stop throwing time at it and pull it. It will nickel and dime you to death with what leaks alone. All the seals will be bad for sure and you might end up needing the fire extinguisher afterall. As for the body: there are tons of people out there doing 'patina' vids. Again, just my opinion, but as someone who restores (in my spare time-not a pro) old vehicles- I have a 77 D100, 2 Fieros and a 90 Z24, plus I'm working on acquiring a 73 Nova- I feel this trend of leaving rust is not for me. It feels lazy and half finished when effort is put into the mechanicals and nothing is done to make it look better. Great series so far, just bear in mind that fixing old stuff like this dodge is a marathon, not a sprint. It'll take time. Breathe and enjoy the little wins with it.
