The strap on the back of the front seat were also used to drape a blanket across for rear seat passengers to use if they got too cold in the winter. Some cars also had hand straps mounted on the C pillar next to the back seat for help in getting in and out.

Good try. I must say, though, being familiar with chain wrenches, it looks like you are pulling it the wrong way. How it got any grip, I have no idea. The loose end fits into the hook end so that when it is pulled, the loose end will be pulled tighter into the teeth on the hook end. I do realize that you have given it a valiant effort, but maybe you can go back again after a while of the MM Oil sitting and try it again. Oh, also pull the plugs completely out (I do realize you loosened them) and also remove the rocker shaft and try to loosen any stuck valves. If a valve is stuck open, and the piston makes contact, it will most likely bend or break that stuck valve. Good luck, my man, and keep 'em coming!

Just started watching your channel. Love seeing you bring life back to old iron. While watching this episode, now I would believe you have heard from many of your viewers already about this. When using a chain wrench, the direction orientation is so that you are pulling the chain into the hooked side of the wrench. That way you are putting a full bind on the chain as you try to turn it. I don't believe it would help on this one. Coincidentally I have my grandfather's 52 Dodge pickup and it is stuck. I plan on using some of your tricks to see if I can get it unstuck. Keep doing what you love as it comes across in your videos.

Cars up through the 1950s and into the 1960s had beautiful gauge clusters and dashes. Auto makers today don't put any thought into things like that. Nowadays a Nissan interior looks almost like some Chevrolets. As for the video, OUTSTANDING! Consider yourself lucky to live in an area where those cars can be found! I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a car that was even as old as the 1980s much less the 1950s.

Hi from Scotland. Well you deserve a medal for even attempting that. 10 out of 10 for perseverance. Shame it didn’t start but you can’t win them all. I must say it looked “dog rough” at the start. The fact that it was dragged to its final resting place was probably an indication that it was seriously knackered. A valiant attempt nonetheless, and you can look yourself in the mirror and know that you gave it a real good go. Thanks for posting another good video. Oh BTW , any joy in rescuing a Plymouth Fury ? The one with the large fins on the back ? One of my favourite cars …a real land yacht. Cheers John

In my teens, I was really an automobile-inspired pen and ink artist. Loved drawing pictures of old cars, really inspired by the 40's and 50's. I really liked drawing 50 to 54 Chevys--Fleetlines, Style-Lines, Deluxes, etc.. Out of all artists I liked and "motorvated" me was Norman Rockwell, ironically. He did vivid, colorful, life-like illustrations, and I wanted to do that in car-themed stuff. My best piece was a front 3-quarter view of a 54 Chevy Sedan with Brian Setzer (The Stray Cats), leaning back on a fender, with a cigar perched in his mouth, just looking rebellious and cool. Ah, good times.

Back when I did a lot more of what you currently do, I would fill the entire engine with diesel for a week or 2. It usually worked. Of course, you can always weld a bar to the pulley, but that can be a destructive solution. Also, wedging blocks in-between the frame and engine will increase the force from your chain wrench because you are losing force with that 'shock-absorbing' motion. Great car you found. Good effort.

I've got 51 Chev utility Aussie built. I got 15 years ago im rebuilding with a 383 Chev Small Block T 700R and 9 inch diff. When Ford Australia released the Coupe Ute in 1934 based on the 34 Ford coupe. Chev and Dodge etc did the same. In Chevs case GM had brought Holden body builders in 1931. And renamed it GMH ( General motors Holden) built bodies for Chev Buick, Pontiac, chassis. Chev in Australia stopped building Chev Utes at the end of 52. When Holden finally built it's own car released in 1948 the 48/215 sedans and in Jan 51 the Ute version called 50/2106. The Engine was a Smaller version of the Stovebolt Chev 6. The Grey 6 by its paint color was a Sweet engine as well.

I agree!! I was thinking that every time you showed the wrench. The placement of the wrench was good but it needs to turned around so the chain is pulling the wrench "teeth" tighter against the pulley as though it were a pipe. That way the chain AND THE TEETH are both gripping the pulley. Also agree with others that you need to stabilize the motor so it is more solid and all of your torque is trying to loosen the grip not rotate the entire assembly. Honestly, you need to get the car to a place where it can be lifted so you can access the teeth on the flywheel with a flat bar to use the flywheel as a pry. That method applies a "ton" of rotational pressure. You're at a real disadvantage trying to work on it in a "jungle"!!!

My engine was stuck really bad on my 1966 f350 300 six. I tried everything for weeks. The head had been off for at least 10 years when I bought it. I took the head in and had it rebuilt. While the head was off I filled up the cylinders with diesel fuel and lit it on fire and let it burn and that still didn’t free it. So I took my acetylene torch with a rosebud end and heated the tops of the pistons and the block and finally it freed up. By the way the pistons were cast iron so no problem.

A few things: didn't pull distributor, possible front pump in powerglide is damaged and locked up, dipstick damaged and plug screwed on number 4/5 could have dropped a rod, timing chain could also have been damaged, "hey mannice shot"

Hi , from Saskatchewan I am very fond of these old cars , I guess that engine was capable to be cranked by a hand crank, maybe the hand crank is in the trunk, there does not appear to be a hex nut on the end of crankshaft ! ?

I was born in 46. Those old chevys were what we had as teenagers. Owned four of them over the years. Rebuilt two engines, replaced head gaskets, rebuilt transmissions. If you didn't know how to work on these old cars you had to walk. That engine is possibly rusted up, judging by the corrosion on the dipstick.

"DeLuxe And Then Some" made me giggle. so someone said to the dealer, "Hand me yon options list, Sir, I'll check off what I don't want... on second thought, just give me everything!" love the ointerior details too, and the playful dashboard. I think the last one with a similar dashboard design was the very first Renault 5, though not for long, as the 70's crept nearer. so the poor engine is stuck... well, it happens. it'll be all the greater a victory when you get it to run again. :D here is an idea, seeing those seats eaten away by time and moisturity: how about grabbign one of those army's felt rugs from surplus to put it on a seat like that, always same side to the desctruction? I know you two aren't afraid of getting dirty, but there can be things like springs, pieces, tools, and creatures previously unknow to man you'd sit on. ;)

I was thinking the same thing. This car might have been a dealer demo with all of the options checked. It probably was on the showroom floor for a while, and now it sits on the side of a dirt path.

Hey Richard ! Enjoy the show, you know your stuff. I have a idea, why don't you take the motor from the burned up Chevy and put it in this one. This car has options that you don't see in these 1950 Chevys. Then you could sell it ?
