Original Paint 1932 Ford BB Big Truck From The Shed To The Street! Part 1 Kingpins!

[@strongsgarage]

Hey Gang! Here is the first of our 1932 Ford BB 1 1/2 ton revival videos! follow along as we get this old girl back to work! Let us know what you think!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Man that truck is cool, although by Saskatchewan standards those old kingpins were barely broken in.

[@coldwarmotors]

Man, am I bummed I wasn't there for Summer Cotter Pin Showdown! Nice to see Jim winning this one, as he is a little behind on last year's Showdown... Cheers, gentlemen!

[@glennnickerson8438]

With so many "Showdowns", I don't know how you guys find time to sleep!

[@thomas5714]

Absolutely brain bending. Strong's Garage: The last place in the Universe where a 32 Ford Truck goes on the rack for a spindle rebuilt - WITH - not just a trove of handy new bushings - AND - a vintage bushing knock out and trim set - BUT - whipping out a vintage box of new king pins to drop in. Just jaw dropping - and they do it like they just did another one minutes ago.

[@lindapeterson2684]

Fun to watch…..

[@Zenny_6969]

..I'm not sure where else on the old tubes you could watch this done.....at least without so much charm....thanks, guys.....

[@shedbythetracks]

Very satisfying..

[@tomtheplummer7322]

It’s right to repair. 🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🇨🇦👏

[@MrGaryRoberton]

As my old friend, the retired mechanic said, good tools help, but only if the man using them knows how.

[@heathersanborn4914]

😍 and I thought the grain truck was awesome

[@BortLicensePlates]

Red Tshirt makes you look macho buff 💪

[@marclefebvre1659]

Nice work, that was interesting to watch guys

[@briantheoldjeepguy6793]

Another sweet old girl! Those kingpins came out super easy. I remember changing kingpins on a '74 F100 I had. They had seized and it took a ridiculous amount fire & extreme violence to remove them. I'm looking forward to seeing that BB street legal.Stay safe & stay well!

[@barryuttley1164]

You guys are Great! Cheers from Ontario

[@70charger13]

Those tools are invaluable, just like the knowledge to use them, great show.

[@ellwoodblooz]

DING! Yeah.

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Hi guys. It is amazing how well that old paint was preserved by the grease. My last experience replacing kingpins on a 1953 Chevrolet Belair outside in the middle of the winter in Northern Maine. Let me tell ya that was more fun than I wanted it to be. Of course, mine didn't go nearly as well of yours. Great job guys, it was fun to see the old tools being used for what they were made for.

[@wmsification]

Nice work!

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

SUPERB video! It was like going back in time. Excellent tools, superb technique, perfect results. Looking forward to part 2!

[@dennissmith5037]

Spherical smericale, the earth is an ellipsoid with 3 radiuses. Tools are everything aren't they? Knowing how to use the tool is a bit of a big deal as well. Good stuff.

[@TomMarquis66]

That was a great episode. You guys still need an intro but more importantly an outro... even if it's just 20 seconds of your logo.. nothing fancy. That way we can remember to thumbs up. I bet yer likes go up 20%..

[@billyhord4508]

Fellows it is such a joy to be able see those old vehicles brought back with original parts and tools. Love the show.

[@oljudis1283]

Top notch👌🏻👏🏻

[@bigb7157]

I’ve never had kingpins come out that easy. Lol. I guess the old stuff was designed and made better. Good job. I really enjoy watching someone else do that work.

[@markbehr88]

I didn’t realise these old Fords have left hand threads. Lovely old truck.

[@randybourdon2791]

Well now I know what a king pin is! Great video from a guy that really knows nothing about cars or trucks.

[@classicsrule8651]

we always learn something or reminded of how to do something we forgot. we love the Canadian sense of humor. is that coffee or ink?

[@rodmoyes2235]

Excellent video. Instructive and entertaining

[@medicaided42]

hey thanks for the informative video cant wait for more

[@johndechiara262]

Thanks for being Ford guys 🚬🐕

[@Mercmad]

When I completed my Apprenticeship I was running a workshop where we had a lot of customers with vehicles from that era. We had these parts kits made by a local company which had various sizes balls,Springs and the ball nuts to repair worn drag links and tie rod ends in metal boxes.

[@amywright2243]

I barely know the difference between a cotter pin and a king pin but I love your channel! Now anytime we see something local that is antique auto related, we think of y'all. ❤️ from Kentucky

[@glennnickerson8438]

The cool factor on the old girl is through the roof! Imagine she is almost 100 yrs old and still able to do a day's work! Won't be able to say that for anything built in the last 25 yrs! Thanks Matt and Jim!

[@agomodern]

Every time I watch your videos it's just amazing the technology that goes into those early vehicles. You guys put a lot of work into each video.

[@ericargo9157]

Love your channel. You guys and Scott at Cold War Motors have taught me a ton and made me chuckle out loud along the way. Since I'm an old Ford truck guy (I have a 51 F1, 52 F3 and a 70 F250) anytime I see vintage Ford truck videos I eat it up. Keep on going boys, you're doing great.

[@bobbyoz8251]

I really like watching these videos for both the neat old cars and you two guys who are comical and love what you do thanks!

[@ellwoodblooz]

😎👍using the spanner of my forefathers. Weekly if not daily.

[@hankpugh4980]

That was extremely interesting guys,looking forward to the brakes video. Sure enjoy seeing the old time tools being used. Continued success.

[@davidsolloway9349]

Good episode, thanks.

[@djrand62]

So simple I think I could even work on it!

[@deekw7519]

Great video love those old ford's made to last a lifetime

[@planetwisconsin9901]

Fun video! Amazing you had NOS repair parts. 🤠

[@johnpowell5433]

Fifty-two years ago I did my one and only kingpin replacement, on an Austin A35 van. It's a slightly different arrangement but the procedure is essentially the same. She was in dire need, as, if you hit a bump in the road, she'd shimmy like my sister Kate, (No, I really do have a sister called Kate!) so that you'd have to stop, and then take off again, until the next bump. How I envy the setup you have there. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, in Scott's next episode.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Re-buildable and adjustable tie rod ends, how wonderful. I didn't know such a thing existed. Great video to watch. 😊

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Old truck serviced with old tools and redone with new old parts. Great job

[@mikewatson4967]

I always appreciate watching you guys work. The old tools, the tips, and the care you take keeping things original. Keep up the great job.

[@ohcrapwhatsnext]

Yep, i did that to my 1952 Intl pickup..lots of fun doing that work. NOS, cant believe you have it. thats a premium charge for sure... Great work. Part 2 will say it all...

[@danjohnston3422]

Some years ago I spent an hour with a bookbinder in Victoria, BC. Dude had old techniques and ancient skills and ZERO intention of passing them on. Said he'd had apprentices and they'd all stuck around long enough to learn enough to bugger off and work in their own shops, so now he jealously guards his knowledge. When he goes in the box, those skills go with him. I am enormously thankful that you lads had mentors who taught you all this wonderful obsolete shit, and that you were interested and faithful to your senseis. Thanks for keeping this information alive.

[@TheTubeTube2]

You guys, with your wonderful original tools, are marvellous- such fun to watch too! Thank you 😊

[@SuperMAZ007]

Very nice video ,this both back some memories. I have worked on a GAZ MM that is in technical terms the same as a Ford. The kingpin and pushing issues I remember and also they have a very odd size dust cap and castle nut. In terms of repairs its really straight forward just as seen in this video. You should really do more of these videos, very appreciated over here.

[@kraigcochran9995]

Seeing you guys preserving tools and the knowledge of how to use them is amazing!

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Them boots are made for wrenching. 🎶

[@idigdaytona4478]

Enjoyed the show !

[@danielulz1640]

Wow, great truck, great work, great video.

[@roadmasterk6019]

Very impressive, this upload...

[@kennethreiver985]

I have that tie rod tool in my Dad's collection of tools ,never knew what it was for . Thanks so much you made my day .

[@bryduhbikeguy]

That was an awesome demonstration.Thank you.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

SG, I love the way almost the entire job was done with hand tools! Just had a couple of 90 year old NOS king pin and bushing kits on the shelf! You guys are too much. Great video!

[@terrywilliams667]

Love those vintage tools, and that you know how to use 'em! (And do!)

[@dloadthis1617]

HI Guys,,, What a GREAT CHANNEL you have created! You two make quite an interesting pair. AAA+++

[@nazdagg2027]

you guys are getting better. have fun.

[@larrygulick6080]

It's amazing how very little difference there is between your '32 Ford truck hubs/spindles and my '67 F100 hubs/spindles. Great engineering is timeless and durable.

[@geertvandermeer4938]

Everything about this is just beautiful.

[@Mango_McPoo]

that was rad

[@pdrphil8159]

Good one fella's

[@joeyleclaire]

My 1954 Ford has a tie rod end like that

[@jonchristensen3055]

Absolutely BB - Beautiful truck!! :). Thanks for sharing.

[@brentschmitt3338]

I picked up a bunch of rusty old Herbrand wrenches at a garage sale 20 years ago…I beadblasted and painted them at the shop I was working at…still using them today,stronger wrench than anything on the market today.

[@duncanmacrae6384]

Love it, fun to watch. Jealous of all the old tools though.

[@asteverino8569]

I must say, I must prefer watching you guys do this work, than me. I am lazy but I don't have the money to pay for it being done either. Great job with many helpful tips along the way. Like the original paint.

[@chrishastings2665]

Is there an internal safety lock on those old single post lifts? Or do you just trust the maintenance and our lord almighty?

[@bernieneufeld4297]

Great ideo guys. Love the tools and the skill you have to use them. I can't wait to ride along for the first trip to the elevator.

[@brianmatthews9697]

Never saw a lock pin or King pin come out that easy. Lucky you. You should show how to set the pre-load on that thrust bearing, that's important. Not sure on the B, but on an A that nut for lock pin is like a tall cap nut. It hits the back plate to stop the wheels from turning to far. The tire will hit the brake rods. You guys are fun, nice reamer set. Gibbs is great stuff, lots of folks don't know about it.

[@kensherwood4866]

Fantastic, your detailed video leaves me thinking I could do that myself, if I had a Ford BB. Excellent looking forward to seeing the next video

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Wham bam, thank you ma’am. See you next time

[@robertbourne614]

Great job guys I worked for a Ford dealership in Ontario Canada in the early 70s and I have done that exact job on many ford and other makes of trucks I still have in my personal tool set that exact snap on driver set and the dealership had the same cutting tool set as well thanks for the video, great to see

[@LegendsWorkshop]

By the way, if you ever want to save a worn kingpin or some other worn part it is possible to have them sent out and either "hard chromed" or "spray welded" and remachined to original spec. Chromium spraying is good for rebuilding hoist cylinder rods but also good if you want to put a hard case on a part that wears quickly, so long as it's bearing against a brass bushing or other soft wear surface. These kingpins are identical to what we still see on forklifts and some construction equipment and there's still a fair number of third-tier shops out there that can rebuild parts like these so you can keep them original!

[@dcallan812]

Great sound qualtiy improvement. 2x👍

[@brendamcdaniel1958]

Great truck and great job on the pins. Thanks for the video.

[@jonathangriffin1120]

A long wheelbase version of the Ford BB with van body was one of the stars of the classic BBC tv series 'Dad's Army' Apart from Ian Lavender who played the goofy kid Frank Pike, it's the only survivor.

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Fantastic work, fellas! Quality workmanship! That was a very enjoyable video! Thank you for it!

[@carlosmontoya8658]

Enjoy content. Thanks for sharing.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Excellent job, well done, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@maggs131]

You guys should add some ragtime piano ambiance during the sped up sections lol

[@forthwithtx5852]

The best part is the old tools, old tech. How y’all know this stuff is a mystery to me.

[@davidcoudriet8439]

@Forthwith Tx, old books, old books, and hands-on. And now, KZbin!

[@meangreen7322]

Very cool guys, informative video, the brakes look the same as my 1929 ford AA.

[@benjohnson1082]

Hey fellas - get ya an old style Goldenrod metal sprayer can and put your barsol in that. It allows you to mist the liquid onto the dust then brush it off like you do. Goes a little faster and still gets the dust off safely - and is a good old fashioned method. Kerosene is another good rinse. Probably preaching to the choir. Thanks for the great video from down in Kansas.

[@craignehring]

Reminds me of the old VW sedan and micro bus

[@owlseye32713]

Hey boys glad to see your video. I am getting ready to do the same job on a 33 BB157". I brought mine back from Great Falls Montana. Also a grain truck. Mine had a PTO driven blower on the right side of the bed to blow the grain into the silos. Last mine ran before I got it was in 1963, threw a rod on #3 of the V8. She still has a Flathead in her now but a bit more power as it is an 8BA engine now. I'd show you a picture of it but I don't know how.

[@johncrawford6992]

Great video los of good information Thanks for posting

[@DonalvonGriffyn]

Great video, lovely old truck. The production qualities are coming up too, good to see it. One bit of advice, maybe get the band over at CWM to light off a few riffs for you to play over the timelapse instead of leaving it silent. My kingpin stories are all on old VWs, so the parts and tools were not quite as big as these. But all the same, lets raise one up to ever body who has had to do a kingpin WITHOUT all the tools, experience, or even a garage.

[@MicrophonicFool]

The brake shoes I am working now, only 6 years old are not that fresh. Also, just getting the whole drum off I thought would need a torch and hammer

[@geoffdobbin9512]

The usual entertaining stuff Keep it up.

[@xozindustries7451]

So cool, great work guys.

[@russell154]

fantastic stuff. Thanks fellas

[@troytreeguy]

Fantastic truck fellas!

[@belyear]

International Harvester used those tie rod ends well into the 1960’s

[@billtorrence8102]

AWESOME

[@pacifiedherbicide]

Love the content guys, keep it up! Something about that single piston lift gives me the heebiejeebies though.
