1941 Chevy 2-ton plow truck - First Start after 30 years!
Переглядів 1 тис.4 роки тому
VAE member Gael Boardman loved old things. You also may know that he never got rid of anything “old”. This includes the 1941 Chevy 2-ton plow truck that sat in his yard for over 30 years. The tires were flat and it had sunk into the ground. The family recently sold the truck to a young man in the area and the short video is of him driving the truck away, heading to his home. The truck is spitti...

Its insane this is a 6 liter 4 cylinder gasoline engine
@Jennings Motorsports
It sounds great!
this engine was designed to run on 60 octane naphtha fuel. Modern high octane gasoline was unavailable and invented only for aircraft in WWII.
That's not an engine, that's a work of art.
That's sweet
Momentous.
Sounds like an exhaust leak witch dosent mean the cylinders aren't exiting the gasses efficiency 😊
you got to love that exhaust running in to that hoes and were is the cooling ? but other then that outstanding
How beautiful ! And it makes a beautiful noise.
built without the spirit of obsolescence.🤦
An absolute work of art!
Quello che interessa è il motore, no la porta del garage, no i vecchiu curiosi, no il basamento in ferro arrugginito, no la neve che si scioglie, il motore, solo il motore!
Go out and fine the most expensive, high end Cadillac available and see if you can find anything as well built and beautiful on it as that old motor.
Eram autênticos relógios Suíços.
I have one of these. It's from a 1902. My issue is that the flywheel (drive surface) isn't balanced. It shakes the whole car to pieces. I wish I knew of some place that could balance it. Local machine shops all declined, too old. This rebuild runs great. Nice video.
There is a video of a 1928 or so Fairbanks Morse 4 cyl 2 stroke diesel. Huge cylinders. Idled just like the Caddy.
man that thing runs smoooth. olll American iron.
So smooth and quiet! I love it!
I have absolutely no love for this new junk we are building but this stuff, wow,nothing but art. A buddy was telling me the other day that BMW either has or is working on a system to idle the car by moving (yes, moving) the camshaft around,when a throttle cable or a sensor to tell the throttle body where the pedal is probably cost the bean counters a dollar why go thru all that trouble of fooling with the camshaft? something that shouldn't move ANYWHERE to begin with except in a circular motion? nothing but more complicated junk waiting to conk out, why? why?
Ahh I love old machines from the early 1900s. Like art and engineering meeting; functional yet looks like some sort of steampunk art piece.
Wonderful
I don’t even know what I’m looking at. Recognized intake and exhaust manifolds and carburetor, but what’s that other stuff?
A few cars put a small compressor on the front of the engine to inflate tires. Roads were bad back then so changing tires on the fly was not unusual.
Golden, but too advanced for me, i only recognize flywheel, belts and pulleys.
I miss the old days when things were built with style and metal instead of ugly plastic.
Cladding the cylinders in copper seems like a great idea, copper being an excellent heat conductor.
If that really was the first start it would have at leasted puffed some smoke
That dieseling must be damn hard on the pistons. Yikes!
It purrrrrrrs
Blown away by the beauty and craftsmanship! Brass, copper, bronze alongside polished steel and aluminum. 1914. So have we gone forward or backwards?
Congrats !
That's a piece of automotive art.
That's got to be one of the most beautiful engines i have ever seen, nice job
Beautiful.
❤❤❤❤Love this!!
What a beautiful engine!! Love this!
Thanks for great vid!Odd seeing exposed cylinders.Are the copper parts are the coolant circuit components?
No wonder people that could afford it wanted to buy a Cadillac.
Impressive old beauty!!
One of my dad's friends sold a 14 Caddy out of Upstate South Carolina about 15 - 20 years. ago. They picked it up on the way back from Hershey in 1975. Touring car with jump seats. Runs alot smoother than the 1905 Cadiallac Engine I helped my father in law do a ring and valve job on. His car will go 25mph top speed No windshield No top...
What a fantastic running engine. Great job.
Bravo.....looks like a still that runs a engine......cheers.......
Who did this engine belong to when it was new ? .
I don't think they knew. It came to Fred as a basket of parts that someone else had unsuccessfully tried to assemble.
Not quite as smooth as a RR
From Spain . Buen trabajo👏👏👏👏👏
What a work of art! Beautiful craftsmanship and engineering. Looks brand new. No doubt the compression ratio is very low, maybe around 5 to 1.
Fantastic!!!❤
That is just awesome! I’m 70 and still amazed by these things created before I was born and stand in wonder on how they did that back then!
That guy in the apron that did all the work putting that engine back together is your age. He just fell in love with old things at an early age and is now and expert. And hates computers so I'm in here speaking for him.
I wander if that engine is air cooled because I didn’t see a water pump.
That was primitive even for 1914.
