Will it run after 56 years 1948 ford flathead v8 truck

Will this 1948 Ford truck with a flathead V-8 run after setting with the hood open for over 56 years this truck has been sitting in the same field for over 30 years at some point in its life. The frame was cut in half and shortened around 5 feet and the truck has not been on the road since the frame was cut  I believe the truck was parked due to a bad rear main seal. 
Will it run
Will it run after 30 years
Will it run after 81 years
Will it run after 58 years
Will it run after 50 years
Will it run after 78 years
Will it run after 60 years
Will it run after 40 years

I haven’t got a single dog in the fight, and all that flour pissed me off !!

Didn't realize how bad I needed this today. In a world where things seem more and more impossible to fix; Dustin shows us what real perseverance looks like. Doesn't matter if its locked up, missing parts or been snuffed out...the man will not stop until its alive again. That's making the impossible; possible. Great life lessons here. This man is a national treasure.

[@7xtc25]

[@AM101GT]

Totally agree

[@ranner331720]

Dustin's just a nice young man with an amazingly pleasant demeanor who entertains us all with his ingenuity, perseverance, and knowledge in getting old engines to run--no matter how long they've set accumullating rust and rats. And then someone comes along who dumps flour all over his project whether through stupidity, jealousy, mean-spiritedness, or just having more than a few loose screws. God bless you Dustin for just moving on and not letting it get to you. We respect you for it, and you make the world a better place for being in it. They don't!

[@briantaylor6562]

He is good!!!

[@caddys0n22s]

Someone get this man a sponsor for starting fluid and PB Blaster! Holy hell he uses a lot! Another great video as always. Your light heartedness about the flour was truly amazing. You sir, are a gift from the car gods! Dont stop!

[@blackwidowfarms]

I'd be looking in the direction the truck smoke went at 28:04 ... "Flour Person" probably lives there and can see you from their front window.

[@GIITW.5OKC]

yep. and flour is not used to put out a fire, its used to make it burn Faster...

[@Telly187]

Yep I thought the same thing. I'd be setting up a Trail Cam with night vision. Pay that person a little visit when I found out who it was. Old motor or not, don't mess with others property.

Tonight we've got a car from the Titanic; Now lets get her back running! Seriously though i think Dustin could actually bring back a titanic car to life; the amount of cars you've successfully recovered is amazing! :D keep em coming!

[@CMFL77]

ahh, man... time for some cheap Amazon trail cameras or something. That flour mess made me mad from hundreds of miles away. If they are willing to do THAT then you have to assume they are probably not above other forms or sabotage - things that may endanger you. It would be cheap insurance Dustin. Thanks for another great video sir!

[@badapplez8455]

All that flour and heat .... Boy you coulda dropped some water down on that manifold and fried up some flathead pancakes! Lol... All jokes aside, I hope whoever pulled that stunt drove over a nail on their way home. Great video, per usual!

Please have a new episode arriving soon. I've literally watched everything. And I have so much respect for your persistence.

[@redmavis6136]

Gotta love the positivity, persistence, and resourcefulness of this young mechanic...finding the "crowbar-punch-combination 4000" tool inside the engine compartment and then using it to remove a frozen intake valve and eventually firing up the old engine is truly awe-inspiring...even despite someone's evil intentions with the flour attack. Nice work...keep it up!

48k miles back in the day was a good life for an engine. It wasn't like today where people get 200k miles, no problem.

[@spookisghostly4619]

On Volvos you used to get tags for every 100k you got I've seen 400-500k before

[@herrakaarme]

Aye. I reckon even Ford EcoBoost will easily give you over 48k miles with normal maintenance, unless your foot on the gas pedal is unreasonably heavy for the poor engine.

[@Robbie-sk6vc]

Yep, the "good old days" weren't always so good! Engines have more power today, with less maintenance, and a much longer lifespan!(in a similar size)

[@ditherdather]

@@Robbie-sk6vc Very true. The average 4 cyclinder today puts out more power than most of the 8 cyclinders back then. When I say "back in the day", I'm in no way suggesting they were better by any metric, other than they were arguably more simple. Anyone who was mechanically inclined could probably service one, whereas todays engines are far more complex and nuanced.

[@heynow3788]

Over the years I've looked at a lot of engines and said NOPE, it's done. You sir keep proving there's rarely such thing as an engine that's actually done...

Great memories, Friend’s older brother had one when we were teenagers growing up. This was 1970, and you could find these with some working dings and dents but in decent running shape for 50- 150 bucks. Nobody gave a shit about old pick ups back then, all the kids wanted speed.

Two things which come to mind, the first is you mention how one of your cans looks like it will explode and in the next frame you have one sat right on top of a hot engine. The other is, the flour which was dumped on the engine, is most likely someone fed up of the burning smoke and sound. If they have breathing issues, the smoke could be causing serious harm.

[@naradaian]
