Amazing how simple these vehicles were back then compared to what we have today, and both get you from point A to B. I can see that my grandfather wasn't lying when he said you could fix one of these with a wrench, screwdriver, and some pliers.
If people wouldn't buy overly complicated, poorly designed crap, they wouldn't be able to sell it but people buy right into marketing bs. To the point where people are willingly buying cars that shut off at stop lights. It's crazy what people will fall for and thanks to that, we have crap cars.

A one hundred year old truck, how beautiful. It's absolutely humbling to just see something like this still running after all these years. That's true time travel.
It's great to see the history being brought back to life. Today's generations can see the pioneering work the early motor engineers produced. Well done folks. Colin, UK
My grande daddy used to have one like this one... ...it "disappeared" from his property after he died late in the 1970's!!! Hope to watch her run like expected!!! Thank You for the video!!! May the Good Lord bless you always!!! 🛐🛐🛐🛐
Absolutely love that you don’t play any music through your videos. I came to watch an old truck raised from the dead, not listen to a bunch of junk music!
I also like how he gets to the truck right away and does not do none of that last time/week bs or trying to sell himself out like most of the car channels are getting on here these days.
Just needed a little TLC . That crack in the inlet of the carburetor is probably why it was parked . Nice condition for it's age , it's been restored before . But I've no doubts that it will run fine once the carb is changed , or the cracked portion is replaced , & the oil level corrected . Looks complete for the most part . Looking forward to seeing that run on the road . Nice tires ! A little baby powder & slight inflation of the inner tube helps with installation/assembly . Great idea to chain around the rim when pressurizing to full pressure , in case the split ring comes off for any reason . That tends to ruin a day quickly . Nice save !
Having watched a few of these, I'm convinced what makes him so good is his patience; if I had half of his attitude/outlook on mechanics, I could certainly save myself a ton of headache (and money)!
Beautiful truck! For the caps if you take the rubber handles on a pair of pliers or something and squeeze it on the cap while turning it that usually loosens it right up! Thanks for sharing! I love learning from these videos! Thanks again. -Ian
That truck is BEAUTIFUL!! She's from a simpler time when things weren't so fast and complicated. How easy is that gorgeous girl to work on! I love it 😀! Great video!
When you are installing tubes and flaps in split rim wheels. You should always put a little air into the inner tube while it's in the tire before you put the flap in. It makes it much easier to hold the flap in place and it assures that you don't have the tube waded up inside the tire after you have it assembled and airing it up. I've had to replace many tubes with fold creases. Love watching the videos.
Sir you are a freakin' legend in my book. I LOVE your videos, commentary, all of it. Keep up the amazing work. Got a forever subscriber here if it stays similar to this. Genuine, authentic, knowledgeable.
Old truck looks good for sitting around for 30 years, and nice save! My high school auto teacher gave me a model AA truck jack a while back, kind of ironic. Anyways, keep up the great content, I love seeing these old autos being saved!
I would love to have an old vehicle from the 30's! I was born in 1950 and there were some old vehicles still running around when I was a few years old. I still remember a few steam age locomotives on the tracks. I love old trains, vehicles and sailing ships. Thanks for the great video! I'll be looking forward to more!
USSR was producing that trucks too, Red army use them in battles of WW2 like "Katusha"s, they used by the way to save S Petersburg from hungry death in occupation times, they come with food through frozen Ladoga river under German-Finnish bombing and saved many lifes. Also they used in antiairship systems around Moscow, they shooted all planes without two (one of them falled in the North on Moscow, second be shooted under and dropped bombes in downtown part in park, this is middle part of Moscow and is near my flat building now)
That is sooo cool.... My Grandpa had a '13 T truck, with a '14 crate engine with electric start. He did a frame up restoration, it sure was a beautiful truck. I sure miss him. Thanks for the video, you always provide such great content. Awesomeness 😁

The sound of the old ford 4 cylinder is awesome. It never gets old. I still have my great grandfather's and I drive it every day to town. Kids love it, I make a ten minutes run to town and I'm gone 2 hours cause people wanna look and talk
Really cool old truck! Takes you back to when it was about getting the job done, and comfort took a back seat. Restored, it could be worth a lot of money. Good job getting it running! 👍
What a little sweetie! I just bought one like it in March, but mine is going to require lot's of work and love! And mine is the same color! I knew You would get this old baby running! I LOVE THIS! Thank You for keeping this BEAUTIFUL AA original!
Love the first start videos and I’m pretty anxious about seeing the 40 ford full restore videos. Also I’d be interested in seeing a walk around video inside and out of that old house in the background. I have a hobby of visiting old abandoned houses as well as cars lol
My Dad used to run a Model T truck with "DOW METAL PISTONS AND RODS" ( MAGNESIUM) and a balanced crank across Lake Huron (Michigan) to Canada during Prohibition! He said NOTHING could catch it! Keep up the good work!
Nice job getting the old girl running again! Beautiful truck!.100 years ago she rolled off the assembly line, and the people who built her put their heart and soul into it. They're all gone now but their craftsmanship stood the test of time! A new set of meats a bit of carb repair clean the points and she's Driving again.!!😁
Good timing on this video. It came out at a great time. Reminded me that there are more interesting things to think about despite all the garbage going on in the world. My granddad had a 1930 AA that had been a Standard Oil truck, then a farm truck. By the time he got it, it had a home made wench tripod built onto the bed from some old car frame. My granddad bought it running, but the owner insisted on keeping the front axel for a trailer. Grandpa installed a front axel from a car - gave it a cool looking dropped rake. He used it f occasionally for a while, then let it set. Someone stole the carb off it, however. I had thought it would be a good candidate for a vintage. 4X4 conversion but the truck disappeared after he passed as I didn’t have a place to keep it at the time. It’s nice to see a AA hanging around long enough to presumably be refurbished at least a second time.
Wow, she's in really good shape. This reminds me so much of two summers ago when I was getting our 1930 roadster going and on the road. Keep up the good work!
the truck looks very good for having been neglected outside for 30 years. it looks like it may have been restored and painted not long before it ended up sitting. makes you wonder what happened. why someone would just forget about their sweet model A
From the shapes of the headlights and radiator shell, this appears to be either a 1928 or 1929 AA. I admire your rescuing these great old vehicles and making these videos. Great entertainment on a Saturday morning in Thailand!
Several years ago I was doing work for an older fellow who had a small car collection, One he called me to say that he had bought a Model A Ford, but did't say what type. I went to see it and it turned out to be a 1931 Model AA with a Pirsch firetruck conversion. Hadn't been running in who knows how long. After weeks of repair, rebuilding, and some frustration, it ran and drove. This was a late 1931 production vehicle. as is your truck. You can tell by the recessed area on the firewall where the fuel shut off valve is located. Thanks for the video.
I bought a 1931 Ford model A truck cab and bed, and was surprised to discover that most parts are available and being reproduced by various companies. Good job so far... the paint still looks great.
@@jeffscott8323 A restoration doesn't have to get rid of the character or the original parts that are still OK but would prevent things from getting worse in the future when it comes to rust etc.
@@PuffyRainbowCloud Everybody wants to repaint, redo and upgrade classic cars. That is basically undoing the history. Rust can be taken care of without drastic measures. The glass can be fixed without having to replace the whole windshield with crack repair kits and stuff. You saw in the video that he had the rims sandblasted and painted with rust preventing paint. The paint on the body is well preserved though and does not need to be redone. I guess the wood bed could be sanded and lacquered though, that green paint looks gross. 🤢
Wow , this one must have been in the dry for the last 30 years , she's in great shape . Love it , thanks for the content and saving the old iron . We need to see the past ,to see where we are going . Personally I think we are moving to fast , good to slow down and see and appreciate where we came from . It looks like you could make it a dually with just a bolt on .
What a beauty! Had an old beat up '51 Ford 1 1/2ton (flathead V8) in the '70's, same green and love the colour, wish I could have given it he the same attention as you did for this old beast, great job! Cheers from BC Canada!
Remember working at my uncles radiator repair shop around 1997. Loved working on cars built before the mid 1980’s because they were tanks and had plenty of room under the hood. Yanking the radiator was easy peasy. Any of the newer, and especially foreign models, were incredibly tight and I’d end up with bloody knuckles trying to pull the radiator. Life lessons from a Gen X guy.
gen z, im 19, and after helping my grandpa and my dad rebuild an 85 sierra half ton a few years back I can definitely say we have gone backwards in vehicle technology. The safety, creature comforts and plushy interiors are extremely unnecessary when you realize the only reason cars are forced to be safer is because everyone wants to drive faster! I guarantee going 40/50mph freeway speeds in the 70s and 80s your car would fair the same in a wreck as a new car going 90. I mean I guess if you want ice cold AC and recliners for seats but I would take any classic car over the best modern car. they are so much easier to work on and last longer plus they dont have many electronics that you have to be weary of.
I Ioved this video. My dad died in 2019 and he was born in 1931. So this video had a special meaning for me. Maybe it sounds dumb, but he came to mind as soon as I started watching this video. Thanks for posting it.
I was once told by an old timer that with some makes of old gravity fed motor vehicles if the fuel volume was below a certain value they could starve for fuel on steep inclines so driver's used to get around that by reversing up problem hills.
Thank you for finding and saving this old Ford. I also have a 31 AA driver. 231A Briggs body meat Packers Express. Love my dad's old truck! (Same color, even!)
I only recently discovered you, already learned a pile on how to care for those old engines. Really fascinating content, looking forward to seeing more!
Man i just found this channel not long ago . I love watching you bring these old trucks and cars back to life . Awesome channel ! Cant wait for some more videos . 👍
What I like about these recoveries of elderly cars and trucks is the realization of how simple and reliable the old stuff is. I have a car of my own which is full of useless electronic gizmos and I know that sooner or later when something fails, I am going to be saddled with a big garage bill for replacing it. It is starting to make sense to grab an old clunker like this one and get it to a reasonable standard so keeping it on the road will not be too difficult !
It looks great with the rustic box, but I'm wondering if you'll clean up the wood as well, or paint it, or replace it maybe with natural colored wood? It will look good no matter what. Congrats!
If it's been sitting that long you should have removed the distributor, and poured oil down the hole to fill the lifter gally. The main bearings are gravity fed and are dry and the dipper tray was probably dry also.
I know nothing about cars but there is something so reassuring about this guys voice. If my car ever breaks down and i hear my mechanic with that same accent and reassuring demeanour, I’d feel like I was in safe hands.
I know having the gasoline gravity fed was easier if not the only way. But can you imagine getting into an accident and you’ve got 40-60 litres of gasoline ready to blow up in your face😬😂
I can't believe my eyes that the truck ran with so (relatively) little wrenching. Imagine trying to bring some complex digital monstrosity from 2022 to life in a hundred years.
the history of ownership would be interesting on that one! I bet the first owner kept it pristine and luckily subsequent owners updated along the way, nice
I just love how you address your cars as old girls, just like a cowboy relates to his old beloved horse. I really dig this, these old cars have a personality, unlike the now "look the same" vehicles.
What a find. Great old truck. My uncle had one just like it to haul coal and firewood. Wish I could find one like that. I'm curious about how you found it and what you had to pay for it. Really enjoyed seeing one again. New subscriber now.
I had an AA just like yours years ago. Mine had the "Dual High" auxiliary transmission after the four speed transmission. I had a worm-drive rear axel I was going to swap into it, but I had to sell her before I got that done.
Awesome truck! Can't wait to see it driving on the road again. Any updates on the '29 GMC? I thought you would have that thing in the shop by now working on the cab.
I just fell in love...! I love this vehicle and just think it's super cool...! Why aren't such vehicles made again today with the same shape and design? These old vehicles still had style and were really beautiful. Not like today's vehicles, they no longer have a soul and all vehicles always look the same. No comparison at all to the old vehicles. By. Alien Ware
Can't believe thy were going to send it to the scrapper. That old truck is in VERY restorable condition.
Amazing how simple these vehicles were back then compared to what we have today, and both get you from point A to B. I can see that my grandfather wasn't lying when he said you could fix one of these with a wrench, screwdriver, and some pliers.
They were built to work, not built to fail.

What I like about these recoveries of elderly cars and trucks is the realization of how simple and reliable the old stuff is. I have a car of my own which is full of useless electronic gizmos and I know that sooner or later when something fails, I am going to be saddled with a big garage bill for replacing it. It is starting to make sense to grab an old clunker like this one and get it to a reasonable standard so keeping it on the road will not be too difficult !
It looks great with the rustic box, but I'm wondering if you'll clean up the wood as well, or paint it, or replace it maybe with natural colored wood? It will look good no matter what. Congrats!
Really enjoy these "will it run" videos. Especially when there are no cuts in what you're saying! Great to take in everything that you're doing
If it's been sitting that long you should have removed the distributor, and poured oil down the hole to fill the lifter gally. The main bearings are gravity fed and are dry and the dipper tray was probably dry also.
I know nothing about cars but there is something so reassuring about this guys voice.
If my car ever breaks down and i hear my mechanic with that same accent and reassuring demeanour, I’d feel like I was in safe hands.
I don't know much about mechanics but you make it enjoyable and engaging to watch, keep it up :)
Thanks for your tireless efforts. What a beautiful Model A Ford. 😊🌼💚
I know having the gasoline gravity fed was easier if not the only way. But can you imagine getting into an accident and you’ve got 40-60 litres of gasoline ready to blow up in your face😬😂
I am far from a mechanic but I really enjoy watching these videos. Very interesting!
I can't believe my eyes that the truck ran with so (relatively) little wrenching. Imagine trying to bring some complex digital monstrosity from 2022 to life in a hundred years.
Actually, not that hard to bring either mech or electronic car back to life!
@@devilsatan2973 Assuming one can get the electronic parts in a 100 years when they're hard to get sometimes now.
Truck from a Christmas card or a painting of an old farm somewhere. Just priceless in present condition
the history of ownership would be interesting on that one! I bet the first owner kept it pristine and luckily subsequent owners updated along the way, nice
I just love how you address your cars as old girls, just like a cowboy relates to his old beloved horse.
I really dig this, these old cars have a personality, unlike the now "look the same" vehicles.
Как прекрасно сохранился ,это шедевр
Обычный
А ты 🤓 по жизни
Absolutely love this guys thoroughness. He is showing all steps like a true pro! Thumbs up 👆👆
What a find. Great old truck. My uncle had one just like it to haul coal and firewood. Wish I could find one like that. I'm curious about how you found it and what you had to pay for it. Really enjoyed seeing one again. New subscriber now.
brilliant i love stuff like this.......just sent 5 weeks getting a 1939 Austin 10 Cambridge running after several years
Been to long glad you back
Yeah sorry been having trouble getting parts for these old cars and trucks
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 oh it’s alright love the videos man
Amazing ! and my favorite shade of green too boot ! Enjoy and thanks for saving her !
You always put so much effort into your videos, it’s incredible. Great work!
I had an AA just like yours years ago. Mine had the "Dual High" auxiliary transmission after the four speed transmission. I had a worm-drive rear axel I was going to swap into it, but I had to sell her before I got that done.
Awesome truck! Can't wait to see it driving on the road again. Any updates on the '29 GMC? I thought you would have that thing in the shop by now working on the cab.
Happy you enjoying your truck, and I'm Happy it went to a good home and not in a field rusting away.
This one is in great shape compared to the others that you encountered. Always great watching.
Awesome truck! So good that you saved it from being scrapped - it's far too good for that!
This will look an absolute *gem* when it's fully restored!
I just fell in love...! I love this vehicle and just think it's super cool...! Why aren't such vehicles made again today with the same shape and design? These old vehicles still had style and were really beautiful.
Not like today's vehicles, they no longer have a soul and all vehicles always look the same. No comparison at all to the old vehicles.

That's a gem.
In 1955 I bought a 1931 Model A Sports Coupe for $40. Still have the bill of sale and some memories.
My sophmore year english teacher gave me some driving lessons in her Sedan Deville. She showed me why those cars have such rooooomy back seats! 😍
Imagine myself very very old man sitting in a chair and watching tv and someone young comes to startup my old rusty car. Happiness juice!
I love this channel. It brings me back to the good old days with my Dad and his friends. Great content
Pre WWII vehicles especially by Ford are worthwhile projects. The simplicity of the engineering is a pleasure to behold.
I love it, I was waiting for Jim Bob, Mary Ellen and John Boy to jump in and ride in that field with ya.
