Reviving a 1950 Ford pickup that was abandoned in a quonset for years, will it run and drive?

Help a friend out and revive his family's old 1950 Ford pickup that had been parked for years. We get the points all set and rebuild the brakes and fuel system before applying a fresh coat of boiled linseed oil on it and take it for a spin down the road.

[@robertwells6454]

I always used a matchbook on the points for all the old Ford's I had. Flatheads Forever. 👌

[@billmiller7138]

Yep about .018 if I remember right.

[@kyleforeman4543]

Good old flatheads,run forever with gas, lol lol ,old faithful was ready for that ride, nice video as normal, nice drone work,,tks Brett an Pablo

[@brianhdueck3372]

There is something just completely righteous about watching the old girl drive off in the snow.

[@billtopka2584]

Pablo wasn’t getting to far away when you were applying the linseed oil. He knew a ride was next. Great revival.👍🐶

[@timatwell3728]

Yell Pablo was thinking as he followed you around the truck hurry up dad that's good enough I want a go for a ride

[@chriswhite5846]

Pablo looked at the camera as if to say I am going for a ride

[@captnsquid8151]

The General Looks Great, and waiting for its next job.

[@thedon2512]

Very nice and beautiful truck , Oh man love the beautiful picturesque snowy background, btw never saw this much snow in my life 😍

[@bobbybrown1708]

A boy and his dog, Love this revival, I'm a truck guy at heart.

[@RustyIronProjectsRIP]

By far my favorite year of ford truck. I used to have one as a project but was to young to keep it. Young and dumb.

[@duanesgarage6294]

Great to see Mr Krause’s truck moving again!

[@JoseRamos-kd9ig]

That truck with the snow, should be a painting ‼️💯🤯🙏👍✌️

[@Telephony954]

A friend in need, is a friend indeed. Plus it keeps you off the couch. And a short break from the current project.

[@erikrunas226]

The older I get the more I appreciate vintage trucks. Hopefully I will own one before I'm too old to enjoy it.

[@Doogie_Causey]

So much for getting anything accomplished for the next hour or so. Afternoon Pablo! After Brent!

[@joe1annie2]

On the big screen now Mint Thanks for sharing It looks right at home on the road

[@michaelfrancis7072]

Love it that when you were putting the Linseed oil on, Pablo followed your every move. He must have known it was near to test drive time and he wasn't going to let you go without him, smart dog.

[@josephherbick5321]

Pppppĺ

[@henrygibson1530]

Nice truck 🙂

[@randyellis3116]

Another successful Pablo rebuild. He should have his own shop. His attention to detail is unsurpassed.

[@DennisMurphey]

Great Drone video, Really nice fix up. Motor sounds pretty solid, Thank You for Posting. Stay Warm. Dennis

[@dannymiller4335]

[@rickbarger7921]

It's cool how the general stands command at your garage door love it

[@ronlynch7744]

Step by step Brent has the will it start down, with ease. The sound of the Ford Flat Head, music to gear head ears. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@heymitch9322]

[@seafieldgrant6957]

I guess you are the best, simply better than the rest !

[@NZMOPAR]

Good morning from New Zealand

[@bigd2203snuffy]

[@texaverycool]

Hi Brent, Your videos are fun to watch! Thanks for the test drive and the old time black and white video and old time music at the end! I'm showing my age ha ha. God bless and take care!

[@kenstevens5675]

I think that your shop helper approves of your work and enjoys the rides and lovin that you give him.. keep em coming.

[@christianjboyd]

Another great revival. I wish I could have seen the look on Trevor and his father's face the first time they got to drive it. Very nice of you to do. Once again, love the tunes on your channel.

[@markhall9412]

when bought my 1951 four dr belair. found hair in line carb everything. Looked in filler spot no gas cap. pulled off tank ran water thur it found a hairless mouse in it. was all thur fuel system. ekk puts rocks in tank with water. shook around. the car had say at least 20 years. changed plugs all the other stuff it needed. put back on tank after building carb also getting out all that hair blew out the lines. put in my new 6 volt battery. put gas in carb and tank plus new oil filter ect. turned on key hit the starter button it started right up made some rod noise. was a 235 ended up putting in 50 weight and stp it ran great after that. Car had no brakes long time after got it running. Would use emergency brake to stop car. was tricky doing so would pull brake and light switch also to parking lights so could show was brake lights. Then one day sent it up front to main shop at Jerry Talley Ford and got brakes. Warrensburg, MO.

[@williamtrusler1508]

That was great! Especially the ride with Pablo. Thanks!

[@burninpwder76]

i love the little ending song and black and white film roll. it fits the era of the truck nicely

[@thomasputnam4491]

The old 51 Ford sounds sweet I worked on alot of the flathead back in my younger day.i love them old flathead with straight pipes.

[@willbesquared6260]

Had a 1950 in the early 80’s..loved that truck..so simple to work on..nice ride!

[@bigjarn]

I always loved the smooth sound of a good running flathead !

[@terryeustice5399]

Great work again my friend. With not a lot of work on this 1950 Ford pick up. Pablo alway loves his rides. Thank you for sharing!

[@jeffray8881]

What I like most about your show is that you don't try to follow the status quo about building cars you build it the way you like it and you do a great job I'm a self who have been working on cars for 40 years Plus we do a lot of things just to like plus you've taught me a few things really enjoy the show I like the way you arrange your show explain what you going to do then show it in a little higher speed watching you do it gives folks a lot of insight on what you're doing and how to do it great program Jeff from Georgia

[@timhanson2080]

Nice easy start. Made it look much better 👍. Nice you helped your friend. Thanks for the video.

[@paulgametech927]

Another great episode. The original Wheels and caps was the awesome toping!

[@matthewsomerville7353]

Love this , had a 49 f-3 239 flathead V8. Miss that ole truck alot. Great job.

[@geoffreymills9932]

That was a pretty cool little project, fairly clean truck for its age, it definitely made Pablo's day to get out and ride, you got some good sugar for taking him along 😀,

[@garymccord4277]

Brent. loved the History lesson on the old Ford not very often can you trace ownership, but all of our old toys had a past life and loved to hear them. Great video to watch on a very cold and winterer day. Thanks for the video I think Pablo enjoyed the great well earned ride.

[@normansandds757]

Glad to see you put proper wheeles on it

[@Tomcaatt]

When your flathead runs like a singer, it’s a real goodern .dang that’s a good running motor.

[@patrickharrand]

I too was wondering if we were going to see a video on this truck soon. We've been seeing it in the background during the Ford Bobber Build. Thanks for sharing yours and Pablo's Garage Time with us.👍👍

[@eds8789]

Had seen it in the background of some other video's, was hoping to see more of this truck.

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Me and dad had a 49 ford truck for 25years bought it in 1981,it was a blast to have gone but not forgotten, I'll catch ya on the next one,I love pablo and your show.

[@Chevl67]

Very cool, my brothers 1st truck was a 48 Ford back in 72, I remember it like it was yesterday. I could watch you work on stuff all day but then I’ll get nothing done, lol. Thanks for sharing!

[@sogdal1]

Another nice old truck! great video.

[@paulous1325]

Hey... another piece of classic history back on the road where it should be , top job done, neat truck,

[@johnds6621]

Trevor is lucky to have a friend like you. Being able to work in a shop with heated floors is the best. 40 plus years ago I use to help out my friend work on his cars in a cold garage with just a space heater and use to go home frozen to the bone.

[@notajp]

In floor radiant is the best way to heat a shop by far. The most efficient method of heating too.

[@davidsantos8206]

That thing ran beautiful and looked real nice after you put the linseed oil on it. I know this truck has a lot of sentimental value to the owner, but if it didn't, it sure would make a nice Sanford and Son replica.

[@jackmehoff2961]

Minty ! Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out . Later ...

[@ryand.8176]

Nice! Another classic saved!✊😁

[@davemellott5060]

Most people would dye to have a shop like this, Your living the dream man. It's really to bad it had to be neglected after it sat in a Museum, god that was unfortunate good save and I would say it's a beauty as it is, good program.

[@rustyirongarage4465]

Another one saved! Great job Brent!

[@jonoffensend7519]

I do like these original trucks, I do hope that now it is on the road it will be used and driven , it deserves to be enjoyed 👍😄🎩

[@johnnyk4551]

So great. You and your copilot there always make me laugh. Super cool truck.

[@leonardwalters154]

Great looking old truck, one of my favorite body style 👌

[@jayr5331]

Great job, that turned out nice.

[@richardhill4862]

I enjoyed the history on the truck. It is nice to sees it coming back to life.

[@robertsimard735]

What a beauty. Wish I could find one like that.

[@davidwildridge8080]

Every time I sit in my '50 Ford F1 I feel blessed to have shared time reviving the old girl with Dad. These trucks are just cool!

[@jz9985]

The truck and I are same age. Wish I could sharpen up like you did to it. Thanks for the ride ,Joe

[@BASimco]

Like the way you treat your dog. Music is good. Truck is cool. It’s happening.

[@locker60]

Nice old truck, really quiet flat head, Pablo loves a test drive, the Linseed finish is the best

[@eugenesanderlin3043]

My father purchased a 52 van the week I went in the service,really liked that truck. Did I say new,yes right off the lot.

[@johnmaher4300]

Wicked video again metal master, brilliant 🤩

[@raymondcoggins297]

That is one awesome truck great video Brent as always

[@thedon2512]

Ah I remember the last time Trev was on he had some High-Viz kinda jacket on, Those copper floats can be saved, don’t throw it, clean it properly with soap and water , let some water in it, heat it up a little and see where the water/steam comes out, and solder the spot where it leaks (after emptying it out) and Bobby’s an uncle! Cool story btw And did get a déjavu on the paint on that tank, kinda like the rods that you’re going to paint

[@markmckeachnie4484]

I love the sound of the flat 8

[@astravanmk2]

That’s some truck that, nice to see it still retains the flathead :) a proper survivor :) You are a true asset to these classics.

[@michaellynskey7124]

Always great to watch especially these Old Ford flat head v8, Always loved these old American pickups trucks from the 1940 to current generation marvellous and so simple to work on especially if you are able to find one in this condition, We don’t have anything like this in the United Kingdom or were my family from in the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪🐶.

[@bigchieftrucker9757]

Nice change of pace. Took me back, dad had a 53 f 150 ford, red, straight six, three on the tree..learned how to drive in it. Thanks for the memories.

[@bmt638]

Great truck. 👍👍

[@kenanger6877]

That’s a very nice truck. I like that you work on your friends old iron.

[@michaeljones5768]

Love seeing these old vehicles brought to life. Thanks Brent great video
