Old abandoned 1950s dodge dump tuck will it run after 30 years

[@MarrockV]

All things considered, it was idling surprisingly smoothly once you got it running... I was genuinely amazed, I'd definitely vote for getting that old work horse back into show condition, it deserves it just for surviving this long.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

I would do a video on scrapping it. Cut it up into a pile of scrap pieces with a disc cutter and burning gear. That would be quicker than restoring it and get a lot more views.

My Dad had a 1953 Dodge for his cherry and apple orchard when I was a kid. I distinctly remember the no radio/no heater option. Also, the vacuum wipers that were almost useless unless you let up on the gas. The good old days!

[@LesterMoore]

Oh Lord those vacuum wipers. A friend of mine back in the mid 60s Father had a 56 Ford Ranchero wagon and in a downpour the windshield would fog up, the wipers wouldn't work until you let off the throttle. Nightmare on wheels.

[@johnellick7362]

Its really cool hearing those old engines come back to life. Nice work getting it going again. you should definately keep working on it to put it back on the road ,even just having a cool old work truck floating around to play with.

Air, fuel, and spark. It’s not rocket science.

[@robgm6926]

Just now ran across this video. That's definitely one of the bigger truck engines with that 3 piece exhaust manifold. I imagine it would be hard to find. Bigger than a 265, wich had a one piece exhaust manifold. The biggest they made was 413, but it had dual exhaust and dual carbs and the trucks had a longer hood. Remember seeing one in a pre-1948 dodge that used to be beside the old Young GMC truck dealership in Zanesville Ohio over 45 years ago. I had a 1947 with the same cab but this one had a longer nose, the hood didn't taper and the nose was wider and flatter then mine. I raised one side of the hood and saw the dual carbs and dual exhaust. Biggest old Dodge gas powered truck I ever saw.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

I learned to drive on a 1952 Dodge Pickup, that brought back some memories. they were similar to the tee. I think that it could be brought back to running down the road capability, and even show you a profit for your investment of money and time.! Some of the older vehicles nowdays are bringing good money. my two cents worth.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Those bigger trucks commonly have the larger 265 six cyl. I bought one at a estate auction at black rock Ar. Been setting 35 years paid $100 The next day a Sunday we went and installed a 12 volt battery . filed the points. ran a fuel line from a 5 gallon plastic tank to the fuel pump. Fired it up and I drove it home. Flat spotted tires. no brakes except for the emergency brake. No license or insurance. I took the back roads mostly gravel we lived thirty miles away at Ravenden Springs Ar. Still have it cool old rig. 1948 with the extra windows in the cab and has a South Wind gasoline heater !

[@Amen.22]

I repaired lots of those south wind heaters on 2.5 ton army trucks in Alaska in the 70s. Someone connected one to the fuel line going to the fuel injector, so if you started the heater the engine would die.

I love your startup videos. Can you please make some more and show us what you do with the starter pedal and gas pedal? I’d love to see that. So cool to see. Subscribed for more cold starts - especially from inside the trucks!

[@reecenewton3097]

Cars and trucks in the 1930's generally had the same setup for the starter: you had to "step on the starter." The starter motor did not have a solenoid to engage the gear and then release it, so stepping on the starter pedal mechanically engaged the starter motor gear with the flywheel and at the same time closed the starter motor switch located on the starter. Cars started having solenoids (as today) in the late 1930's, but many trucks remained pretty basic for some time; thus this 1950 with its step-on starter. The accelerator pedal was next to or below the starter pedal so with some fancy heel and toe action you could pump both at the same time.

[@gearhead9943]
