Will it run and drive After 30 years 1955 Chevy truck

Will this 1955 Chevy truck run and drive after 30 years
Will it run
Will it run after 50 years
Will it run after 81 years

This would be a good one to go a little further with than usual. She's a runner and pretty damn solid for the age. Get a fuel tank, tires and brakes, and see how she does on the old back roads. I have a '56 3600 3/4 ton. Sat about as long as this truck and had about the same amount of rats nest. Fortunately she turned out really solid. Driver's floor pan is not rusted through, and it's not even pitted. Well underway on a full original restoration.

You act like it’s rocket science.

[@Finlan2005]

@@Joesmusclecargarage have you seen some of his other videos? It’s certainly impressive when it’s been sitting for over 60 years with a locked up engine

[@Joesmusclecargarage]

@@Finlan2005 Yes I’ve seen his videos. But almost anything can be broken free one way or another. It’s not “impressive”, unless you lack mechanical knowledge and ability.

[@suryakamalnd9888]

​@@Joesmusclecargarage with over 773 million uneducated, I don't think anyone can just have the mechanical skills.. even the educated people take different courses and don't take mechanical.. it may seem like nothing for the people who do this sort of thing.. but for people who aren't mechanics, it's great.. so don't act like it's not rocket science for normal people..

This is one of the last great KZbin channels. No horseshit, no rubbish, just great content.

[@IntrepidMilo]

Found this channel last year by chance and have enjoyed your content ever since.

[@denniskrohn7034]

I love watching this car/ truck guy bring these old engines back to life Keep doing what you do , we all love it

[@southendparaquest]

This has to be one of the most absorbing channels on KZbin. To think I've had enough fun getting old 2-strokes to work in the past!

[@jameshathaway5117]

I have had a fair bit of fun with old 2 strokes too... But they said "Detroit" on the valve cover and weigh more than a car! 😂

[@fknsl1]

When the front door opened up I was hoping you'd deal with the interior on camera... Let's just say you did NOT disappoint!!! Love all your crazy project and common sense (?) approach!

[@willpilkington2679]

Will Pilkington Just love to see the challenges you put yourself through. Really enjoy your effort and love to see these old vehicles run.

[@kennethsonier1766]

That's a very solid Kool Chevy. I like to see you bring it around and do something with it 👍 I'd also like to see more on the Diamond T. Great video as always and keep up the good work 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@lollipop84858]

Cool is spelt with a C not a K

[@andyreynolds6194]

Absolutely bloody love this channel. As a bloke from across the pond, I’m amazed that these old Chevy and Ford trucks keep getting pulled out of the woods and barns, even just within small areas of the states. JMS doing Gods work pulling them out and getting them back on the road. How much would an oily rag like this be worth, do you reckon?

[@Thinginator]

In my area trucks like this pup up for sale for anywhere between $500 to $5000 depending on how functional it is. Most of them end up being yard art outside of businesses since a billboard can be added to the back pretty easily. Pickup trucks are more expensive though since more people want to drive and restore those.

[@tehgerbil]

​@@ThinginatorI personally prefer the panel van version, very cool looking thing, I love the pickups too but the van is special. Would love one.

[@gavinkeller183]

This is why I can’t have any yard decorations with an engine lol I’d be trying to get them running. Great video

[@Nick-uw2ju]

I like how you keep your videos simple and straight to the task. I get what's in the title. No other stuff. This is how it should be.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Very cool!! Say, I have a question, where do you come across these vehicles for your videos, and, what do you do with them after?? Thanks... I really enjoy your videos, except for one thing, its hard to watch TV, your videos and work on my hot rod all at the same time!

[@williammelcher1487]

I have to say that this young man can get anything running. Is so enjoyable to watch and listen to him explain what he is doing.

[@michaellichter4091]

I just fell in love with the sound of the engine, it's unbelievable that the truck is still running 😮👍Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment with us.🤗

[@betweenevenings]

It’s just amazing that these vehicles you can fire up where they are. I’m stunned after all these years you can start them where they are. I always wanted one of these old American trucks especially a Chevy. Great video thanks for sharing

[@thegoodwolf4255]

Love your videos my buddy and I use to buy heaps of shit old vehicles when we were younger and get em running and driving just to prove we could. We always talk about doing this but we just don't have the time anymore. We watch your videos all the time keep up the great work theres something magical about an old vehicle running after so long

[@iplaybose]

I like how confident he always is, and he has the right to be, he always makes it work

[@gophersk]

Very nice truck.. lots of uses for it. Good job saving it.

[@K3NnY_G]

Dude's got a line on some will it run gems other big channels would kill for at this point. xD Not to mention a much wider berth of content with that amazing skill to save and make absolutely anything run.

[@haroldstrickland8416]

Dang, it looks just like my 55 2nd Series. I looked out in the barn to make certain nobody had stolen it!

[@SeanKerns]

Sassy Grass AAR Cuba? That was an awesome surprise on this video. Can’t wait to see the progress on that car! Love your content. Simple. One guy, one camera. Keep it up and watch your subscriber numbers grow!

[@gabrielgarza3707]

This guy is the type of guy that will tell you great stories about cars and his life. Love your content. Also on the quality issues you have on your videos on premiere. Have you been recording them in a lower quality format or exporting them in a lower format ? If so tried changing your camera settings to record at the highest quality setting it has. And on premier export it at a high enough resolution that KZbin won’t compress it too much

[@bonjoev2781]

That's a pretty good find! Looks more solid than some I see on the road!

[@ohioyodertoter6827]

Howdyyawl from the land down under. I used to have an AT4 Dodge With a 245 slant 6 in it. Powerful unit. 😊

I think this truck really deserves some attention. A budget respray, some cleaning, and it should come out better than new!

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Hey Mr. Jennings, I bought a 1957 that came off an Air Base in California. It didn't have a speck of rust on it, but it had 10 coats of paint. I got it from some guy who finished his stint in the AF and he bought it from the base, to drive it home instead of buy a plane ticket. It had a 265 V8 with 3 on the tree. I customized it extensively by removing all the paint and putting Burgundy on it. Put a couple bucket seats in it, carpeted the floor and real wood paneling on the doors. White wagon wheels w/ fat off road tires and a white tonneau held on with those push on grommets. The Sec of State wanted it weighed and it came in at 3500Lbs. Eventually the motor came out and I put a 440 w/ Torqueflite from a 1968 Dodge Charger in it. The rear axle pinion gear wore out, so it got a Chrysler 8 3/4" with a 3.55 sure grip. I'll tell you what: At 3500 Lbs it was quick! And you can ask my brother-in-law how fast it was, it scared him. I used to cut traffic with it running between towns where I was working. I eventually gave it away to a cousin. It was a really cool truck! Thanks for bringing back the memories. You will have something special if you want to, I sure did. ben/ michigan

[@dispatch444]

She barely even smokes. Minty. In all seriousness she runs like a top, and just that little pressure washing uncovered that red. I can only imagine how beautiful that ol girl was in her day.

[@techno_magnus]

I love watching this guy make these old trucks go. I got myself a '86 C10 longbed that i am giving a try myself.

[@davida.p.9911]

Awesome job! 👍 That would definitely make a cool truck to put a bed on and haul with!

Hi, JMS. I have to ask, what do you do with all these old vehicles you get running? Full restorations? Sell them? Keep them around? I mean at this point there's probably about 70 you've got running, so I'm legitimately Curious. Thanks

Omg, that engine cranking over was absolute music to my ears. I used to have a couple 58’s and a 59, that old 235 was a tough old engine. Valves didn’t like unleaded though. I’d give anything to have another un violated one that still has the push button start next to the gas pedal where it is supposed to be. I might be getting my dads 58 Chevy carryall but it has been modified to take a mpfi small block. Anyways take care of that beautiful truck
