Will it run after 40 years 1950 ford flat bed flathead v8 truck

Will this 1950 ford flathead v8 truck run after 40 plus years
Will it run
Will it run after 40 years
Will it run after 30 years
Will it run after 50 years
Will it run after 81 years

[@jerrybrooks870]

My vote is for leaving it intact and fixing it up. A flatbed truck with a dump bed is much more useful than a little old pick-up.

[@certifiedcitydestroyer]

agreed!

[@ASproutingArborist]

I think it would be nice to that truck fixed up

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I also agree!

[@justindougherty976]

Nope. He needs the motor. Get over it.

[@ASproutingArborist]

@@justindougherty976 I agree, he should use it for what he needs, but the reason I said what I said was that it had a hydraulic bed, I thought that was pretty cool.

[@MPDano]

Dude, don't yank the motor out. She needs to live and she's showing you her potential. Love how you get these old ones running and driving again.

Nope. Going to get yanked

I think the truck should be kept intact and all original. Definitely need to flush out the cooling system and check the ignition timing. With some hard work she will be a solid runner. That old Flathead sounds great. Hard to believe those old trucks actually run and drive. Makes me want to buy an old car and wrench on it. Keep making these interesting videos.

[@jerrybrooks870]

I have a 52 GMC 1 1/2 ton flatbed for sale if you are serious about getting an old truck to wrench on. It even comes with the stuck engine package to make it more challenging.

[@YblockEnthusiast]

​@@jerrybrooks870where are you located and how much are you asking?

[@pfcparis]

To be fair, he said the engine has already been rebuilt. It is no longer original.

@Legionary-Assassin , 30 miles West of Fort Worth ,Texas. I'm asking $2500, and I have title in my name.

[@DankNoodles420]

lmao good luck thats the problem with everyone these days they have a old vehicle that's been sitting around and no longer in the condition that even warrants being worth that price 2500 or usually whatever absurd price people are wanting and so it just sits there longer and longer rusting and falling apart more meanwhile anytime someone does ask to try and buy it they never come off that stupid absurd price that they had set when it even somewhat was in decent shape but still 25 years+ later is practically a hunk of rust on wheels they don't lower the price so it sits and rots. People are dumb and it's such a shame all of the cool old vehicles that potentially could be saved and give someone else joy and pleasure restoring to formerish glory and making use out of will never likely happen for that reason.@@jerrybrooks870

That F6 is worth keeping its flathead, truly amazing how everything in it still works just fine after 40 years of sitting

I was born in 1955 and grew up with a dad and an uncle that worked on old vehicles like this all the time. Your videos bring back great memories for me. I used to stick my hands in the oil and grease just so I could use a hand cleaner to clean them. At that time the hand cleaner was yellow and in a tall can like a tennis ball can. Thanks buddy.

[@netoitaliano1943]

It is alive! Great job! From Brasil, São Paulo state, Ribeirão Preto city.

[@masterskrain2630]

I'm 70, and one of my earliest memories was that my Father owned a 48 Ford Flatbed almost identical to this one. It was grey with a stake-side flatbed that he used to haul products around on in the Newburgh, New York area, including large boxes packed with dry ice to haul Ice cream to some of the Summer Camps in the Adirondack Mountains north of New York City. I'd love to find another one like it...

[@stevenandbobthedog]

This truck is worth keeping the motor in. She's loyal! You'll come across another motor in your line of work

[@PaintedSkyDweller]

I love watching you resurrect the dead, I turned my father in law onto your videos and he’s an old truck guy 🇺🇸

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

I used to use that PB blaster, acetone, ATF mix on Geo Metros and Corollas to free stuck piston rings, works well. I always added a little B12 Berryman's to the mix and that would free those rings right up

I wouldn't take the engine, its too good a truck. Great video!

[@josephg41]

Even if you pull this trucks flathead, you should fix this truck up or sell it to someone who will, It seems like a pretty rust free, pretty straight truck for its age, with obviously a lot of life and potential still there.

[@texaswoc3461]

I’m addicted to your mastery of these old engines. My grandfather was a master diesel mechanic who retired from International. He never taught my dad anything and wouldn’t let him work on anything. Alas, I have very limited knowledge of this stuff but it fascinates me! Wish I knew half of what you know. I learn with every vid. Thanks for the lessons. Keep up the good work

Nice job! Nothing like a flathead. Sounds great!

Please don't part it out!!! I have a 1952 Chevrolet 6400 dump that was in full commercial service with my company J&T Services Junk Removal until a few years ago when the dump bed quit working.

I always enjoy when old vehicles run with their original equipment. I drive a 1923 model T Ford as my daily driver with all original equipment and 6 volt system. It is remarkable how reliable an old car can be if you go through everything carefully. Your southern accent is great. We yankees are always amazed to hear a real drawl.

[@Beatle4]

I would agree with some of the other posters. Leave the engine in and fix up the truck. My Dad had a '49 Ford pick-up when I was boy and I used to drive it around the fields. Seeing the front of your truck reminded me of those days and for that I thank you.

Loving the truck videos! If you are taking a break from Cuda content, I would love to see one of those 47-54 Gm trucks that you have, like that Chevy or GMC in the background of this video, put on either a short box frame, or custom running gear. Those trucks are my favorite! I have a 53 in the shop that I need to get working on. Love your content, keep it up!

[@NoName5589]

We've got an old jailbar with the same engine in it out behind the shop. We tried getting it to run a couple years back but no luck. While not seized the engine still takes alot of effort to spin over. Your video is really starting to inspire me to try again

[@jenningsmotorsports7554]

If it’s not hard to turn by hand but the starter is having a hard time turning it it’s probably a starter problem a lot of times the bearings the starter go out and it makes them short out and spin very slowly

[@NoName5589]

Thinking back I'm pretty sure the hand crank was super stiff even with the starter. We did fill the cylinders with oil then put the spark plugs in before leaving it again so I think I'll give it another go this week. If it's still stiff I guess I'll have to give rebuilding the starter a go, we never did do that. Thanks for the inspiration

[@NoName5589]

Quick update, I went out there this morning and worked on it a while. It was still really stiff until I decided to spin it backwards before going in. It clunked a few times and actually freed up! Cleaned the points and now I'm waiting for my dad to show up with a coil. All that's left is the oil and the carb and just maybe I'll get to hear that flathead come to life

[@jenningsmotorsports7554]

@@NoName5589 the starter is your problem the starter Bendix was stuck pull the starter and clean it up check the bearings and the brushes and you should be good to go

[@NoName5589]

We worked on the starter and had it whirling under its own power at the end of the day, thanks for that. He didn't have a coil on hand but amazingly the old 6V coil is still outputting a strong spark. If the license plate is anything to go by it's been sitting since 75 Battery died just after we got her to hit a few times at sundown. It's on charge now and tomorrow is a new day
