You need to quit worrying about what people say about your work. You do more to help people fix their own issues simply by watching you. And you do more in your spare time than most people do on their full time jobs. Thanks,
Wherever they built the pickup, must have had parts stacked and a insect used it to store food or for a nest. Then it got assembled. Lucky you, you got the special one. Tell Noah, it's why you don't wear jewelry when working on machinery,yep that's what it was. LOL
I had a chance to pick up a 51 Stud for $1000 and I let it slip through my hands, ugh, wish I wouldn't have found this channel. now I can't sleep at night without the memories of the one that got away. Your awesome , keep up the good work.
I learned long ago That chasing problems on cars is very much like a skunk chasing a pole cat. Its just one stinking thing after another. LOL Thanks for the video Jonathon.
Cool stuff which brings back memories. Friend had a 56 Ford with junk yard 390 and over drive 3 speed trans. Was cool to hear him split shift it, 6 speeds.. loud mufflers..people would take double take.
Nothing like the sound of those cars. 6cyl and a 3spd with overdrive. Beautiful. Love your work the cars are superb and you go things in a logical and economical way. Forget the millionaires who pay someone else to fix their cars! Btw we had a diesel Vauxhall insignia with a weird running issue, same thing. Leaves in the fuel tank....how in the heck??! Cleaned and it went away. Bizarre.
Looks to me as if someone intentionally sabotaged that fuel pickup before you purchased it. But, being the MASTER Mechanic that you are - you hunted down the problem and eliminated it. Good job, Jonathan. I still want to buy this Studebaker - I haven't given up on my dream of owning it.
If there ever was a Studebaker that needs to be brought ( restored ) to show room condition,..this is the one. Oh how I wish I could buy this one from The Man! I just LOVE these Stude's!
Thank You for yet another action packed adventure of "The Bullet Nose Baker". I'm enjoying these a bunch. I can't wait for the first gas mileage test. Those Champ engines are amazing.
Woke up to go to the bathroom, and a Jonathan W video appears. Yay! The overdrive system was interesting to see. And you probably didn't realize that you purchased the optional fava bean shipping protection. 😬 Thanks.
Atta Boy. That solenoid on the firewall resembles the Potter & Brumfield ones they used in DuMont televisions in the late 40s early 50s. Bravo. Good work. Like yourself, I love restoring back to working order things that have no business existing in this day and age. It is up to us as keepers of Americas technological past to do good work.
Great job finding that in the tube,Johnathan, sometimes you'll run in circles trying to find the problem. I've been there, with a 68 impala, never had a fuel problem until one day acted just like the studebaker, after dropping the tank,four fuel pumps ,two carb kits,new float, needle and seat,new sending unit all new lines and still ran out of gas on the road, i gave up for over a year. I needed to move car one day,and thought I should pour some gas in the tank,i happened to look at the under side of the cap, sure enough,the damn vent was stopped up. After cleaning it out it was fixed. So you never know what you're going to find working on these old cars. Thanks for the great content.
I'm getting addicted to that intro music. You should have dried out those leaves or whatever they were and see if they had Chinese proverbs written on them.
I’ve enjoyed all your videos so far. They have encouraged me to work on my old REO truck that has been sitting for over 25 years. And I shall record the action as I go. Porter Dude out....
that fuel sender unit is just organic and eco friendly....ha ha...this old car is a gem, so much better with the overdrive working, great work as usual.
looks like my kind of car. i get attracted to rust bucket junkyard refugees. they have turned into my best daily drivers going to work and back before i retired 6 yrs ago. my workmates would rag me a lot but they were amazed at the miles i got out of those drivers and the money i saved ( always paid for upfront ). keep 'em full of oil, gas and anti-freeze and they'll keep riding along with the PM done. maybe my old beater rust buckets wasn't fancy but you could spill coffee in them, chain smoke and pass gas in'em and not sweat it. i even made a few 1500 mile round trips in 2 of them from nc to michigan and back w/o incident stopping and checking oil level, adding as needed. that old studebaker is a restoration project for someone with the money and know how. having it operational would make it easier to sell for that purpose. i enjoy watching your vids and bringing these good ol' boys back to life.
Love that Studebaker one of my favorite cars you're working on I like the Golden Hawk also I purchased a 48 Commander I told you about it had been sitting for over 20 years and I started it up smoked like crazy needed new rings then I sold it to the movie studios
I love your videos. I love old American cars. The late 40's and mid 50's are my favorites. Amazing little rust on your cars. Where I live we are lucky if only half the frame has rusted away, and that the body has a shape of the original.
Jonathan! I am enjoying these videos you put out! You are an awesome mechanic! And a good teacher! I pickup things here and there..I wish that my dad was here. He'd of enjoyed your videos! Especially the Studebakers. The 56 Golden Hawk is / was the "holy grail" of the Studebars to have!
Mister Jonathan I have enjoyed you videos since the first Rat Rod build that you showed and I think it's pretty cool and how you can show the people out there that have minimal skill that they can start building cars and get better. Or if they want they can take a car such as the Studebaker and just get back into safely drivable condition. I like the look at leaving up with the years of life that it has already spent. Some people make all the rat rod or Resto rod hoarders even the ones out there that call the necro rod I think I'll just call it a rusty life rod. Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos.
Great videos and a great car! I wish I had the internet back in the 1980's when I had a 1949 Stude 1ton pickup. It had that same flat6 w/overdrive you got there and it wound up parted out sadly. I wanted to warn you about the distributors on those motors, mine was stuck and I had to really work it to get it out. When it did come out the shaft had bent...they got a gear on the end that meshes with the timing gear and they are a bitch to pull out straight. Keep the videos comin!
I. Think it is part of the green leave monster. Meaning leave me alone. Lol JOHNATHON you are very funny and I enjoy your work young man. I had a 55 CHEVY that had a overdrive and I thought I was cool with a 6 speed manual transmission. Thanks for sharing your rebuilding experience with us today.
Use to run a wire from the solenoid to a toggle switch on the dash for the over drive. Flick in on in any gear. Just make sure it's off when backing up. When its engaged your free wheeling. OD was great when racing someone. If you get the jump on the other car engage it and you will have taller gear ratio.
im sure EmersonCollie would restore this car. he has a 1951 Studebaker Commander Land Cruiser same bullet nose but a 232 V8 with overhead valves as it sounds good when he put on true dual exhaust with glasspack mufflers as his original muffler blew from a backfire when it dieseled when he shut it off. He found an original acessory radio for it was a Philco Studebaker am tube radio with built in speaker as that center grille in the dash is for the speaker for the radio. if original it will need the correct 3 slot wheels studebaker used for the dog dish hubcaps. if that muffler you put on blows from a backfire try a smithy's muffler.
Vapor lock, step dad,s favorite bug a boo. He would on a long trip. Carry a bucket of ice. As he was bar hopping, or shopping with the wife. And with respect his had a lamp,(green) that recommend a (shift) to over drive. It had a locking handle. And used on "long trips", As we would travel on Ohio's 224, old 25, 6, and later I-75. Leather seats and a squril cage fan in the trunk pulled the air through the passenger area kept us cool . Told every body that car was his Buddy. Tks for showing a fine auto.
That wiring diagram will help a lot with any future electrical bugs. But you trouble shot the overdrive problem before it even showed up. Not an easy task with wiring that’s as old and frail as what is in that Studebaker. A blocked fuel line in the new part you installed isn’t something you see too often. All cleared now so all is well. That Studebaker is moving along quickly. Keep up the great work.
@miltstone2 yea, right. "muffler burn". we were all young once upon a time and got "muffler burns on the neck" and a god awful ragging from our friends and co-workers when they saw those "burns".
That's an odd choice for packing material. Usually the shipping material is bubble wrap or foam peanuts, not wood chips. The important thing is that you got it cleared up. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to fix, rather than replace, the relay for the overdrive - others would've been stumped, and probably would have quit. This car's going to be quite sorted out by the time you turn it over to your wife.
Johnathon it does me good to listen and see you work on these vintage cars not a bit of computer ware or ecu to be seen I remember those days as a young apprentice in the sixties working on the English version of these vehicles and trucks The only American car I ever remember working on was a ford v8 pilot I remember thinking how smooth the engine ran but the fuel consumption was unheard of in this country Ah good times gone bye keep up work 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧regards John
Good stuff. Don't need to move O/D cable in or out as you're moving. Push it in and leave it. Governor dictates when it comes in and kicks out. If you listen closely enuf you can hear relay click then take foot off gas pedal and solenoid will kick in usually 22 to 28 mph. Hope I'm not insulting you with stuff you may already know. Just excited for you and your Starlite Coupe. Solenoid quit today on my Stude truck, so on it next thing. Keep doing what you doing, I like it. Kim
I went to Small Engine Repair for 2 years at NDSSS in Wahpeton, North Dakota 1979 and 1980. Johnathan W would have made an great shop instructor there !! I love the way Johnathan W's mind works !
Suuuuure the necklace got him LOL. Man that ole flathead 6 sounds good!!! I dunno, that thing runs good enough to be a daily driver! Im thinking after all the work you put in it, you may wanna keep that one for the wife!!
Some smart guy at the factory thought he woukd have fun so he crammed that material in the pickup tube. Very good troubleshooting on the relay, the solenoid and the pickup tube!
Years ago, I used to put a switch in place of the solenoid, voila! Instant 6 speeds forward and 2 reverse. Seem to remember there was a kickdown switch, and a switch to make sure you were in high gear, I bypassed all of them
hey Jonathan, I have been buying from Ebay for a long time, and if I had received that fuel pick up and found the problem you had, I would contact the seller and complain; AND be leary of buying from same seller again. Sure not the way to do business. I sure enjoy your videos and its a shame viewers nit pick your work. YOU are the expert not most of us viewers.
Great video. I have enjoyed wacthing u for awhile now. Love how u save the old iron and not chop it up. Car sounds great shifts amazingly for it being on the tree. Keep it up.
As usual, an awsome video. !! I think a leaf cutter bee got in there when it was still in the box. ?? I want that car. LOVE it. Glad to see Noah back. Looking forward to the next video.
Way to go Jonathan!!! Great job on that relay problem!!!! The fuel line issue though???? I think whoever sold you that fuel pickup deliberately put that leaf in there, to get you to buy another one. Why? Who knows. You are one determined guy that always gets to the bottom of the problem and gets it done!!!!!! Way to go!!!! Noah, careful with that necklace. Glad you're interested in old school cars. Great for you!!!!!!
Just a note on the overdrive: I had a'50 champion that the overdrive fried on. Found out that the overdrive unit had run out of oil . The unit does not share oil with the transmission. So ,unless you have already checked it be sure both are full.This was in 1965 so I was able to get one from a junk yard.I doubt many of them are still around today.
Did you finish the shed for your Elcar? And I would recommend using all stainless steel fasteners for installing a roof on it and fastening the wood. (Just what I would do)
You need to quit worrying about what people say about your work. You do more to help people fix their own issues simply by watching you. And you do more in your spare time than most people do on their full time jobs. Thanks,
I agree,
well sayed their
Yes
Definitely!
Agreed!
Every time I watch these videos, Jonathan teaches me something that I didn't know. Thank you Jonathan.
Wherever they built the pickup, must have had parts stacked and a insect used it to store food or for a nest. Then it got assembled. Lucky you, you got the special one.
Tell Noah, it's why you don't wear jewelry when working on machinery,yep that's what it was. LOL
Awesome video Jonathan. Your skills are amazing.
I had a chance to pick up a 51 Stud for $1000 and I let it slip through my hands, ugh, wish I wouldn't have found this channel. now I can't sleep at night without the memories of the one that got away. Your awesome , keep up the good work.
Like the way you do not restore...you repair........I like it.
It amazes me that you work wonders on these great cars and do your own video recording at the same time.
You have a HUGE following Johnathon keep teaching us all. Love the Studes. Great work 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👏🏻👍
Jonathan, you are wicked smart !!
Jonathan, I hope you never quit doing what you are doing. You are my kinda guy. I love watching you do your thing.
I learned long ago That chasing problems on cars is very much like a skunk chasing a pole cat. Its just one stinking thing after another. LOL Thanks for the video Jonathon.
How can somebody dislike this video? the Mans a genius. I've learned so much from watching Jonathan.
Wonderful drive and overdrive was smooth as glass. I like this old car and all the work you did was just awesome. Love it. D
Cool stuff which brings back memories. Friend had a 56 Ford with junk yard 390 and over drive 3 speed trans. Was cool to hear him split shift it, 6 speeds.. loud mufflers..people would take double take.
Jonathan , I am enjoying this video like all the others . I always learn something from them , and always waiting for the next one . You
Nothing like the sound of those cars. 6cyl and a 3spd with overdrive. Beautiful. Love your work the cars are superb and you go things in a logical and economical way. Forget the millionaires who pay someone else to fix their cars! Btw we had a diesel Vauxhall insignia with a weird running issue, same thing. Leaves in the fuel tank....how in the heck??! Cleaned and it went away. Bizarre.
Your wife is cool puts up with your craziness so build this car nice for her thank you .
Wow great video. Glad to it's running like a charm. Ive learned a few things off your video. Ty for your time.
Looks to me as if someone intentionally sabotaged that fuel pickup before you purchased it. But, being the MASTER Mechanic that you are - you hunted down the problem and eliminated it. Good job, Jonathan. I still want to buy this Studebaker - I haven't given up on my dream of owning it.
Ну и как , купили? Свою мечту❤
What a sweet running engine in the Stude !
If there ever was a Studebaker that needs to be brought ( restored ) to show room condition,..this is the one. Oh how I wish I could buy this one from The Man!
I just LOVE these Stude's!
Glad you found whatever that was. Stuff like that can drive you crazy.
Enjoyed the comments with your young helper! 😄. Info in your videos is great too. Lots of great troubleshooting methods.
I love those musical old relays, such a nice sound...
Thank You for yet another action packed adventure of "The Bullet Nose Baker". I'm enjoying these a bunch. I can't wait for the first gas mileage test. Those Champ engines are amazing.
They can get upwards of 30 MPG with the overdrive..
The world can use more people like you. Thanks again
Whenever I ship a fuel pickup to a customer, I always include an invoice wadded up and stuffed down the tube. Maybe that's what it was. 😀
Ha ha yeah right, but I' think it was an under payed Chinese factory workers way to flip the bird to all those damn customers . 😀
You're a great teacher Johnathon !! I never heard of positive ground until now. Thanks for the lesson !! 👍👍
Woke up to go to the bathroom, and a Jonathan W video appears. Yay!
The overdrive system was interesting to see.
And you probably didn't realize that you purchased the optional fava bean shipping protection. 😬
Thanks.
Love it when something can be fixed instead of replaced. Well done!
Atta Boy. That solenoid on the firewall resembles the Potter & Brumfield ones they used in DuMont televisions in the late 40s early 50s.

You are quite the detective , good job on the wiring and overdrive and fuel systems
best car videos on the site . I wish I lived near u . Great !!!
Love that Studebaker one of my favorite cars you're working on I like the Golden Hawk also I purchased a 48 Commander I told you about it had been sitting for over 20 years and I started it up smoked like crazy needed new rings then I sold it to the movie studios

I would not have ever figured out there was a wad of leafs stuck in the fuel gauge pick up tube. How you thought to look there is beyond me. Good job.
Nice project. this car is worth saving.
Jonathan - the motor really sounds great. Great work in finding the issue.
Jonathan! I am enjoying these videos you put out! You are an awesome mechanic! And a good teacher! I pickup things here and there..I wish that my dad was here.
He'd of enjoyed your videos! Especially the Studebakers.

Luv watching you guys bring old cars back to life...keep up the good work!
👍👍 I admire the never give up effort you show each video .
Great video. Reminds me of 70s and 80s when I worked on my cars. I miss those days.
Great videos and a great car! I wish I had the internet back in the 1980's when I had a 1949 Stude 1ton pickup. It had that same flat6 w/overdrive you got there and it wound up parted out sadly.

Noah got a muffler burn on his neck! Lol 😂. Keep up the awesome vids!
@miltstone2 yea, right. "muffler burn". we were all young once upon a time and got "muffler burns on the neck" and a god awful ragging from our friends and co-workers when they saw those "burns".
Getting to like those old cars more all the time great video as allways thanks 👍🏿

9:00 .............. The speedo cable needs to be oiled. It's dry and that's why the needle wavers. The cable will eventually break if not lubed.
That car is awesome hope it don't give you any issues. That car is going to be the star of the cruise In you go to.
Will really be nice with the taller tires you just got ! 👍
I really like your videos .. and that studebaker is going to be a good car again..you do very good work..
That ole cars rolls along nice good job!!
I went to Small Engine Repair for 2 years at NDSSS in Wahpeton, North Dakota 1979 and 1980. Johnathan W would have made an great shop instructor there !! I love the way Johnathan W's mind works !
Good work Jonathan.really enjoy watching your vids. Thanks again
Awesome...good to see noah wrenching again. .you guys rock..
Suuuuure the necklace got him LOL. Man that ole flathead 6 sounds good!!! I dunno, that thing runs good enough to be a daily driver! Im thinking after all the work you put in it, you may wanna keep that one for the wife!!

This project was a great one lots of problems to solve, and a learning experience for the viewers thank you.
You are one mechanical wizard if I can say that . Thank you again for sharing all your work . I still hope to come to a Rat Rod build !!
always a pleasure watchin yer videos thanks from Sean in Vermont
When you start digging into things is when you find stuff, mind you have to know how things are supposed to work to begin with, great job.
hey Jonathan, I have been buying from Ebay for a long time, and if I had received that fuel pick up and found the problem you had, I would contact the seller and complain; AND be leary of buying from same seller again. Sure not the way to do business. I sure enjoy your videos and its a shame viewers nit pick your work. YOU are the expert not most of us viewers.
I really enjoy watching your video’s thanks
Thanks Johnathan!
If you ever consider changing careers, consider process automation. Your troubleshooting skills are impressive.
if then and or the tools of the analytical trade.
Great work again.
Great video. I have enjoyed wacthing u for awhile now. Love how u save the old iron and not chop it up. Car sounds great shifts amazingly for it being on the tree. Keep it up.
Man, wish my 48 & 42 Dodge trucks had Overdrive like that Studebaker.
As usual, an awsome video. !! I think a leaf cutter bee got in there when it was still in the box. ?? I want that car. LOVE it. Glad to see Noah back. Looking forward to the next video.
Jonathan thank you for giving us such great lessons how to fix these issues it has also help me fix floorboards on my 1952 Henry J
Way to go Jonathan!!! Great job on that relay problem!!!! The fuel line issue though???? I think whoever sold you that fuel pickup deliberately put that leaf in there, to get you to buy another one. Why? Who knows.
You are one determined guy that always gets to the bottom of the problem and gets it done!!!!!!
Way to go!!!!
Noah, careful with that necklace. Glad you're interested in old school cars. Great for you!!!!!!
I think i've only read about positive ground systems lol, don't think I've ever actually seen one until this video. Way cool man!
Holy Cow! Your like a detective!! Impressive!
Just a note on the overdrive: I had a'50 champion that the overdrive fried on. Found out that the overdrive unit had run out of oil . The unit does not share oil with the transmission. So ,unless you have already checked it be sure both are full.This was in 1965 so I was able to get one from a junk yard.I doubt many of them are still around today.
Thanks Jonathan...quite an information video! Love me sum Studebakers! BTW I saw a Stude Hawk today! ...Newk from Kentucky
Very well done again! Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Did you finish the shed for your Elcar? And I would recommend using all stainless steel fasteners for installing a roof on it and fastening the wood. (Just what I would do)
You said you are going to work on getting an extra hand next ,Thats one video I don't want to miss!
Yep Johnboy has amazing vidoes and does great work on his cars and trucks.
Its coming along great enjoy the videos
Fantastic videos.. keep 'em coming!
Car sounds good going through the gears...car's trying to do right by you, EBay seller - jury's still out on that 1
Another great video! Love how you take your time with the viewer.Thanks so much! Is the Studebaker going to be for sale?
Great video Jonathan,you figured it out.
