AJ saying he was almost ready to be like you was PRICELESS. You have 2 AWESOME boys. LOVE seeing them in your videos. You've done an EXCELLENT job with those boys.

the part with your son helping with loading the truck and saying he is almost like you really hit home.. my son is in his 20's and lives in another state. keep up the great fathering, youre making memories he will never forget

Love those Apache fleetsides..purchased one with 3k miles in 1962 when I was sixteen..kept two years and sold it to a friend's dad who later sold it to an old high school buddy..then to a fence company. Last known owner was a mean old man who had parked in his driveway for years..when my son was sixteen and taking auto shop I offered to buy it for me and my son to restore together..no deal 4 years ago it dissapeared with the same rotting tarp never to be seen again..😢

[@2LateIWon]

Thats my all time favorite truck model. I just uploaded a video last week of my son (14) going to pick up his 61 apache. Great Video looking forward to more videos

[@mikejames7013]

I've used the Marvel Mystery Oil in the past and it works, but I remove the spark plugs and use an Oiler to squirt the oil into each cylinder. It's good stuff it's like ATF high viscosity. With the spark plug wires removed you can jerk the motor with the starter to work the oil further down the cylinder to try and break it free. Good luck. Great father and "sons" project. AJ did a great job working those winch controls dad. lol

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks Mike! Unfortunately I had to pull the head and get a hammer after it to free it up. Episode 2 is out if you want to see the rebuild.

[@stevechancey167]

WOW, just when you think everyone else has given up on father and son shop time, I find this! Fantastic! When I was in the 5th grade, my dad brought home an old stove bolt 6 and we rebuilt it (old babbit bearing rods and oil dippers). That started me on a path I am still traveling (at 73 now). And, what a coincidence, I actually picked up a '59 Apache about 6 months ago and am trying to decide which direction I will go with it, rod or stock. Spend all the time you can with those boys, my two sons are grown and have kids. Although I started them out early with a couple '55 chevys when they were teenagers (which they still have) we work a lot on our heavy equipment now that we use on our property and I tinker on vintage motorcycles. Every minute you miss being with them is a minute you can't get back. Good luck with the Apache and keep the boys close. I subscribed and am anxious to follow your projects.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thank you! I know there will come a day when I miss their help and company in the shop so I try and not take it for granite. Good luck on your 59!

[@secretsquirrel75]

Great video. AJ your winch man and also you wing man when picking it up. AJ was certainly happy with himself getting the truck onto the trailer and his enthusiasm is infectious.

I had a 58 chev fleet side short bed that was the same color only it had a 3 on the tree. Had it about 9 years then it was getting tired so we bought a new 67 3/4 with 327 auto. It was prety fast. Put some type of anti stick in the pistons and let it sit for a while. I'll bet it helps!

Love ALL the videos u guys make 👍

[@williamsanders2808]

Had it been me, buying the truck, the engine would have been yanked, as soon as it hit the shop. Replaced with a 350 small block. But if I wanted to go original, I'd have to do research on numbers. If it has an original engine, then a rebuild would be in order. But I'm not one for doing original. IF I could find one, a 327 would be a nice fit for the old truck, but those are few and far between, and pricy when you find them. That's just me. But if you have another Chevy straight six, available, that runs, drop it in! Put newer tires on it and drive it! (But please, lube everything on the driveline first.) Check the oils on the tranny, and diff (Yeah, I know, you're already planning on all that) Above all, have fun with the old girl.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks for the feedback William! Check out the next 2 videos on the truck

[@faspit95]

You picked a great first vehicle to start off your channel with. Love the teaching the kids as you go too. Marvel Mystery Oil is an old farmers go to oil. The concoctions some people use is amazing, suprize some of them home brews don't kill them. Lots of chemicals in them. The old machine guys I learned from liked to use Marvel and some old school destroy transmission fluid. It will clean and dig thru the rust and carbon as well as leave an oil film behind. That was before detergent oils, I now use the thinnest convental detergent motor oil I can find, 5w15 and Marvel or PB Blaster and mix even parts. I'm a big fan of PB Blaster but any good penitrating oil will work. I heat it up before putting it in sometimes but leaving it in the cylinders for a week is a great idea too. Not an overnight fix.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks Frank! We didn’t have any PB blaster but I did give it about a can of kroil penetrating fluid

[@jesterr7133]

Marvel Mystery Oil is 90% Dex/Merc. That is why it is red. Straight distilled vinegar works pretty well also.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thant explains why it looked and smelled like ATF. I will have to try the vinegar next time. Thanks for watching!

[@stew6338]

Yeah No2 cylinder looks bad from the underside. That water has possably worked it's way past the rings. I suggest you spray the under side of that cylinder too. Have you watched Halfass Kustoms? He gets lots of vehicles with stuck engines and manages to get them un stuck.. lots of soaking with oil ans acetone. Even vinegar works. You will probably have stuck valves. Pull the rocker cover and re evaluate. Pull the head, hone the cylinders above the piston. Lever off the ring gear. Yeah the easy way is to swop the engine but we're is the fun in that..... get er un-stuck and running.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]
