They can't promote car life as cars are designed to only last 5 years so you buy a new one every 5 years , with todays tech we could easily make every vehicle made last 70 years
@@chinabluewho Then again very few people could afford a car in 1936, not to mention most of them required an on-site mechanic to maintain it regularly, and even just to start it up - I don't think most people appreciate that you didn't just get into a car and turn a key back then, you had to start by priming the fuel pump, lubricating the engine head, checking the ignition system and after 15 minutes you can actually start the engine...by hand. And of course it's easy for shit not to break when your engine revs to 2000rpm and makes 50hp and your car has a top speed of 70mph, components are not exactly highly stressed. Nowadays you get a car that is 10x better in every measurable way for 1/10th of the money.
Interesting lesson in how someone can sell you bearings with a tiny contact area and lots of deformation and make it sound like a good thing. Also a nice demonstration of how you could remove an axle and replace it..... of course they don't explain how you get the other half of a broken axle out, which requires disassembly of a ton of stuff, but, yeah, if you ever need to remove a perfectly good axle and replace it with another, you can do that on the side of the road.
@@stephengreen3566 Been there, Done that. I know of three methods. 1-If you are lucky & it happens to leave a short stub, attach a noose to a broom handle & pull it out. 2- attach a strong magnet to your broom handle, pull it out. 3- if all else fails, remove the axle shaft on the other side of the truck, poke the stub out with your broom handle. In the rare case that it sticks, a light tap with a hammer will jar it loose.

Pride in your workforce kind of became taboo during the 40s thanks to the funny-mustache-man and the less-funny-mustache-but-still-funny-coat-man. It's a very important part of any functional society, yet it's being diminished and negatively associated in the west. The more that industrial sector is ignored/marginated the harder the fall will be. When men are not tinkering they end up warring. A culture of respect towards hard work and a revaluation of those men is the only way to prevent what might be in a few decades the biggest revolt even seen. We might be talking about 20 to 50 million men going on year long strikes with violent incidents happening weekly all over the developed world. Now, I'm not one to advocate for traditional left wing ideas not am i fond of any class warfare as the morons call it, but i can tell that closing a steam machine shut will lead to an explosion. The loss of most of these jobs to china only adds to the fire, and just as the romans when they realized that most of their army was not roman and could take their city whenever they wanted, so too will these men burn it all down.

I wish today's cars were built to last like the cars of the 80s were. HIGH QUALITY STEEL AND IRON. not like this aluminum fiberglass and plastic bullshit you should only every see on a BIG WHEEL kids toy. Back when we can actually service our own vehicles, when the auto parts store actually had relevance, when if you did take the car to a mechanic he didn't need to rip the car apart just to check the engine oil, back when there was actually an engine and not some stupid battery pack, back when if you got into an accident you can easily just beat the dents out and send the car into MAACO for a new paint job. Not like today where if you even bump into a fucking mailbox your car ends up in the scrap yard. Have fun buying a new car because your piece of shit couldn't even withstand the impact from a bicycle, unlike the cars from the 80s where a crown Vic can slam into a Honda at over 50mph, roll over onto it's top and slide 80ft with the only damage to the CV is to the top where the lightbar was destroyed. Can't say much for today's cars where you can barely bump into each other in the fucking parking lot without both cars looking like they just took a Sunday drive directly into the jaws of a wood chipper.
@@HannTheftAudio ya but those 80's cars were super deadly to everyone else on the road, the high quality steel and iron combined with the sharp edges of the design language basically meant they were giant high speed knives on wheels, and pedestrian collisions would almost always be fatal, at least nowadays cars are designed to bounce people off them instead of slicing them in half, and as a bicycle rider who's been hit by more than a few modern cars and even been thrown through a windshield face first and never even broken a bone i'd say it was probably worth it
Whole lot of people in the comments not understanding that the concept of modern commercials wasn't a thing in 1936, tv didn't exist. This isn't an ad, its a tech video, and they're still made today.
The axle pictured is far simpler then modern units(still used today mind you). Our understanding of the forces that affect all the parts has changed significantly
I'd imagine most modern axles bear the weight on the axle itself.. this design took the weight off of the axle and put it on the rear end.. making those axles less likely to break than modern ones we use today..
MrManniG I think if look and listen closer THEY NEVER SAID A CAR. But that being said, practically all front wheel drive cars you can remove the axle shafts without removing the wheel and tire.
It's really cool that I can see an old promotional video from a time when my grandfather wasn't even born yet, and my great grandfather was only 19 years old.
Bearings that wear out quickly due to small contact area and deformation. An axle housing that is reinforced in the middle, just like they were in a Ford years before. Lies about replacing an axle. Yep. Innovation.
Let's see: They produce a new axle design for 1936 trucks. But they only produced a true mid-engine Corvette that flat out screams & handles better than any other American made factory street-legal with registration car in history for 2020 that is 1/3rd the cost of other cars that it can stay right with on a track. ......OK.....got it: "no innovation from a conglomeration that lost its soul".......

This is pretty amazing. I just did a rear axle seal on a Chevy 2500 and it still looks just like that. Also, when they said Chevy realized they would need easy access, they added a cover. It made me think of Toyota trucks, who realized they didn’t want there parts to be to easily accessed and did the opposite of Chevy.
1936 Axles: They're husky and durable, and can support 35% more load than previous models 2019 Axles: Now with bluetooth connectivity and wifi hotspot capability

With a 60-70 year old Chevrolet dump truck in the back of my house, considering the amount of rust there is on the outside, the bearings, gears and it's inner workings is in near mint condition and works very perfectly! Goes to show how cheap and crappy things came to be now then back when that dump truck was in service :(
Bonjour,pour mécanos en herbe,très bon résumé simple instructif en éclate et demonstration explicite même sans traduction.En un mot:félicitations a l'exposant commentateur mes félicitations.A l'heure d'aujourd'hui il n'y a plus de sensibilites pour les plus jeunes !
You know.. When engineers thoroughly develop a solution, that solution is always valid, until some new tech changes the fundamental parameters of the problem. Modern advances changed more on things like electronics, while hardcore mechanics didn't change much, aside from new alloy/smelting/tempering and a few other details. I guess the most disruptive tech in that field are composite materials, but until we start seeing rear shafts, gears and what not made out of those, not much will change :D.
So go back to a horse-drawn carriage, and see whether that fits you. Wait, horse carriage was an impressive technology in the antiquity. You should lug everything by feet. Better still, crawl on four feet.
sometimes new is never better. they got the design perfect and there still isnt a way to make it better to this day. brake pads still have some asbestos in them because they havent found a material that performs as well yet for less than 5 times the price
Come on, how often does an axle break in today's modern cars to begin with? Back then maybe it was a constant issue so they had to come up with something.
@@manu144x i don't know my good sir. But have you ever seen the new range Rover where you have to remove the entire chassis from the car just so you can replace a freaking crankshaft pulley? That's retarded.
@@manu144x They are talking about trucks being used on bad roads. Japanese rear ends would probably suffer that problem FREQUENTLY if roads were still like that.
@max power most of the comments go straight to "back when America was.." You do realize this was when the engines were thrown in with no consideration for the environment, and with no care if they had efficiency.
Ah, how refreshing - advertising a machine based off specifics in it's engineering, with total transparency, and for added points, extra focus on repairability.
Such a great, clear representation of all important points...and the use of "Husky" really brought us aged mid thirties and up back to sears and other mall clothing departments that actually used "Husky" as a size for the "NOT thin" sized children lol
The ability to change an axle from the outside is just genius. Wish we had mechanical features like this more today. Stuff you could fix on the side of the road with a wrench and screwdriver.
Yeah, but I imagine that getting the short piece out of the axle housing would be kind of difficult if it broke in the middle. It could be done with a magnet on a stick, but how many people carried one in those days -- or these days?
Back in the days when you would go to the cinema and watch these! Funny how a "heavier, huskier" axle is better than a lighter one back in the 1930s. Today car makers are trying to make everything lighter, and a new component heavier than a previous model is seen as a major design flaw!
They didn't have Gas issues back in the 30s... Also the need for stronger but yet efficient low displacement engines require that the full weight of the vehicle is lower so it will keep being "Sporty" yet "Eco-Friendly"..
hing is that today's axle of similar type is as sturdy as those where. At that time the issue of smog hadn't manifested itself, and petroleum from the Middle East kept fuel price low
I interpreted the "heavier, huskier" comment as the axle being stronger and more durable, rather than sheer weight for the sake of adding more weight. Don't forget, the video is for a commercial truck axle, not a passenger car. GM uses these types axles in their commercial grade trucks to this day.
De19thKingJulion That's because nowadays engineering is lightyears ahead of that in the 30's. Today the key is making components that are as strong and durable as possible, while at the same time as light as possible.
TARider2: The rear axles today are much stronger, though not necessarily heavier, than 1936 models. They have to be since most modern trucks are heavier with larger wheels, tires, and bigger engines and transmissions designed to carry a heavier load.
I believe that one of the comparable advances from that time to modern technology is probably in the alloys used. Nowadays they're much stronger. Besides that, the engineering and tech is probably all still the same. But I must admit, back in that day they were building it for extreme longevity, while today there is "product life cycle" shenanigans...
When cars, and pretty much everything was built steel-solid... Now we live in a plastic world, were everything is disposable within months or just a couple of years at most.
TheHuskyGT to be utterly fair. Those are also the days when cars are death traps. That plastic bends and breaks, dispersing force, exactly as it was designed to do. Rather than have all that force transfer to you.
Especially those "biodegradable plastics" I mean after 4-5 years of usage, the plastic on the car just disintegrates into nothingness?! EDIT: Basically rots
john martin old cars were still extremely dangerous even with seatbelts. Have you ever paid attention to the size of the B Pillars on classics vs modern? Old is pencil thin while modern is nearly 6 inches in width. Back then they used steel because it was cheap and effective. Not because they were high quality. They switched to plastic because it was cheaper to use and could still retain quality. Fast forward to now, everyone wants cheap vehicles that are still safe, so the interiors usually suffer quality to maintain a low cost and still make profit.
Hey, truck mechanics! Ever have one come to you with an interior axle shaft broken off, especially if it happens right close to the ring -pinion set? How do you snag that broken piece without losing it in the banjo? If you do, you gotta take out the "pig"! Here's a trick! Take out the other shaft on the other side. Get a fence pipe larger than the axle end. Stick it in the side with the broken piece, up against the broken piece, or actually over it if enough sticks out. Have someone hold this pipe in place and tell him not to allow it to be forced back out as you work. Go on the other side with a long bar, put it through the spider gear until you touch the end of the broken shaft. Both spiders are hollow where the splines are, so one leads to the other. Now whack it with a hammer, and the broken part will end up in the pipe. Carefully withdraw the pipe with the broken shaft inside!

Nowadays I'll take the Ford 9" , thank you. Even GM did. My 2001 S10 blazer has Ford 8¾ diffs front and rear. most race cars have Ford 9" floaters on them.
The shot of the open differential in action at 3:40 ... beautiful.
Jalerdi OhTwo Yes it was !
I love how they plated the various parts. Nice touch.
Yes but I do prefer limited slip differentials, the Eaton G80 locker in today’s Chevy trucks is amazing! They make them for trucks as new as 2020 and as old as clear back in the 70’s.
Quite the piece of engineering for '36
That and the shot of the bearing are pure engineering porn.
this film was made almost a century ago.
But the quality of education back then was better than today. a century ago education was to remove the confusion; today is to add to the confusion.
in ancient philosophies before Socrates, confusion was a shame, and clarity of mind was a virtue.
No, today's education is meant to take your money :)
Jeezz. In america maybe.
Apprenticeships still exist tho, just less mainstream than college nowadays
Today it isn't "Education" as much as it is "Indoctrination" js
replacing the axle without having to remove the wheel? I'm sold!
As long as the axle isn't broken, sure. If it is, then how are you getting the other half of that broken axle out? Hours of disassembly; that's how.

@@rubenthekid6819 😂😂😂what😢😅
@@chinabluewho Then again very few people could afford a car in 1936, not to mention most of them required an on-site mechanic to maintain it regularly, and even just to start it up - I don't think most people appreciate that you didn't just get into a car and turn a key back then, you had to start by priming the fuel pump, lubricating the engine head, checking the ignition system and after 15 minutes you can actually start the engine...by hand. And of course it's easy for shit not to break when your engine revs to 2000rpm and makes 50hp and your car has a top speed of 70mph, components are not exactly highly stressed.
Nowadays you get a car that is 10x better in every measurable way for 1/10th of the money.
If commercials were like this today I might actually watch them!
Interesting lesson in how someone can sell you bearings with a tiny contact area and lots of deformation and make it sound like a good thing. Also a nice demonstration of how you could remove an axle and replace it..... of course they don't explain how you get the other half of a broken axle out, which requires disassembly of a ton of stuff, but, yeah, if you ever need to remove a perfectly good axle and replace it with another, you can do that on the side of the road.
Yep. They usually broke right at the carrier, making it almost impossible to get that little end piece out without taking off the "pumpkin" cover. LOL
Also no mention of removing the multiple shards of metal left behind from the broken axle.
@@stephengreen3566 Been there, Done that. I know of three methods. 1-If you are lucky & it happens to leave a short stub, attach a noose to a broom handle & pull it out. 2- attach a strong magnet to your broom handle, pull it out. 3- if all else fails, remove the axle shaft on the other side of the truck, poke the stub out with your broom handle. In the rare case that it sticks, a light tap with a hammer will jar it loose.
Removing the broken axle shaft is easy if you have half a brain. 🙄
Finally , someone in the comments that knows what he is talking about.
Chev: "our bearing elements deform"
The rest of the engineering world: "We harden our bearings"
Love these videos. Back when companies were proud of their designs and production and proud of their workforce.
Now a days they're only proud of how much money they make their stock holders
Pride in your workforce kind of became taboo during the 40s thanks to the funny-mustache-man and the less-funny-mustache-but-still-funny-coat-man. It's a very important part of any functional society, yet it's being diminished and negatively associated in the west. The more that industrial sector is ignored/marginated the harder the fall will be. When men are not tinkering they end up warring. A culture of respect towards hard work and a revaluation of those men is the only way to prevent what might be in a few decades the biggest revolt even seen. We might be talking about 20 to 50 million men going on year long strikes with violent incidents happening weekly all over the developed world. Now, I'm not one to advocate for traditional left wing ideas not am i fond of any class warfare as the morons call it, but i can tell that closing a steam machine shut will lead to an explosion. The loss of most of these jobs to china only adds to the fire, and just as the romans when they realized that most of their army was not roman and could take their city whenever they wanted, so too will these men burn it all down.

and no annoying music.
No video of the guy fishing out chunks of axle shaft..
Thank you. Watched with no sound and saw the guy pull over to change axle. That was funny. Was thinking the same thing.
Still easier than dropping the tires, jesus, just open the window, fish around, fill it back up, and go

In that day and age there was probably a Chevy parts dealer in every town with a storeroom choc-a-block full of axle shafts. Today you'd need to wait a week for one to be shipped over from Japan...or more likely Korea.
And you can fit it yourself! I can imagine the announcer back then.... 'fitting a new axle is so easy, even a woman could do it!' :)
It's called drive shaft, dummy! The narrator explained the difference in the beginning. Did you ever brake the drive shaft of your car?
@@franktechmaniac7488 it would be considered an axle or half-shaft in modern terminology. Driveshaft is what runs from the transmission to the differential.

It’s sick.
I love seeing this old technical videos. Now that I've grown up and am an engineer myself, all I see is modern technology in black and white. 1936... That's around the time my grandfather was born.
My Grandfathers would have been the guy replacing the axle and driving the truck. Born 1890 and 1914. Miss you grandpas!

Such an interesting documentary video.

When the life was too simple everything was easy
God bless who lived that's days

This video is full of lies and marketing wank. It is just technical lies instead of "she'll do you if you buy our truck" lies.
man i wish modern car commercials would show off practical things like how easy it is to change the drive axle instead of showing off how being in an enclosed car keeps you safe from alligators
I wish today's cars were built to last like the cars of the 80s were. HIGH QUALITY STEEL AND IRON. not like this aluminum fiberglass and plastic bullshit you should only every see on a BIG WHEEL kids toy. Back when we can actually service our own vehicles, when the auto parts store actually had relevance, when if you did take the car to a mechanic he didn't need to rip the car apart just to check the engine oil, back when there was actually an engine and not some stupid battery pack, back when if you got into an accident you can easily just beat the dents out and send the car into MAACO for a new paint job. Not like today where if you even bump into a fucking mailbox your car ends up in the scrap yard. Have fun buying a new car because your piece of shit couldn't even withstand the impact from a bicycle, unlike the cars from the 80s where a crown Vic can slam into a Honda at over 50mph, roll over onto it's top and slide 80ft with the only damage to the CV is to the top where the lightbar was destroyed. Can't say much for today's cars where you can barely bump into each other in the fucking parking lot without both cars looking like they just took a Sunday drive directly into the jaws of a wood chipper.
@@HannTheftAudio ya but those 80's cars were super deadly to everyone else on the road, the high quality steel and iron combined with the sharp edges of the design language basically meant they were giant high speed knives on wheels, and pedestrian collisions would almost always be fatal, at least nowadays cars are designed to bounce people off them instead of slicing them in half, and as a bicycle rider who's been hit by more than a few modern cars and even been thrown through a windshield face first and never even broken a bone i'd say it was probably worth it
Whole lot of people in the comments not understanding that the concept of modern commercials wasn't a thing in 1936, tv didn't exist. This isn't an ad, its a tech video, and they're still made today.
This method of explanation is far more straight forward than when I was taught in university. Though our laboratory lessons were like this
The axle pictured is far simpler then modern units(still used today mind you). Our understanding of the forces that affect all the parts has changed significantly
We learned as we went along, no doubt.
Thanks for sharing this history :)
Me too, I like how simple they explain things and how informative it actually is.
Very interesting, I learned something today.
So cool seeing this slice of history...and explanation of current heavy truck axle technology!
I absolutely love these videos, they explain so simply key engineering concepts.
That's pretty cool that you can replace the shaft without removing the tire or the load.
You can't, because if the axle breaks, you have to tear into the diff to get the broken half of it out.
...I absolutely lost it when he said a replaceable axle shaft without a wheel removal...
3/4 and 1 ton pickups today use full floating rear ends with 8 bolts on axle flange holding axle shaft to hub.
Just amazing that the axles today are nearly the same.
+Chuck Kissel Yet, generally a lot weaker and most aren't even full floating. But, this was a 2 1/2 ton truck too.
I'd imagine most modern axles bear the weight on the axle itself.. this design took the weight off of the axle and put it on the rear end.. making those axles less likely to break than modern ones we use today..
Chuck Kissel they are not... Show me one modern car where you can change the axleshaft witout removin the wheel...
MrManniG F550 is still made the same way
MrManniG I think if look and listen closer THEY NEVER SAID A CAR. But that being said, practically all front wheel drive cars you can remove the axle shafts without removing the wheel and tire.
concise and well presented explanation with graphics. some of these tutorials are much better than contemporary presentations
It's really cool that I can see an old promotional video from a time when my grandfather wasn't even born yet, and my great grandfather was only 19 years old.
Wow, back when Chevrolet used to innovate and wasn't some globalized conglomeration that lost its soul.
Bearings that wear out quickly due to small contact area and deformation. An axle housing that is reinforced in the middle, just like they were in a Ford years before. Lies about replacing an axle. Yep. Innovation.
Read some history of GM.
Let's see: They produce a new axle design for 1936 trucks. But they only produced a true mid-engine Corvette that flat out screams & handles better than any other American made factory street-legal with registration car in history for 2020 that is 1/3rd the cost of other cars that it can stay right with on a track. ......OK.....got it: "no innovation from a conglomeration that lost its soul".......

This is pretty amazing. I just did a rear axle seal on a Chevy 2500 and it still looks just like that. Also, when they said Chevy realized they would need easy access, they added a cover. It made me think of Toyota trucks, who realized they didn’t want there parts to be to easily accessed and did the opposite of Chevy.

"We all float down here"
The show “IT” right

With a 60-70 year old Chevrolet dump truck in the back of my house, considering the amount of rust there is on the outside, the bearings, gears and it's inner workings is in near mint condition and works very perfectly! Goes to show how cheap and crappy things came to be now then back when that dump truck was in service :(
You know lubrication on those bearings, little use and being sealed from the elements is what caused them to survive so long, right?

It is. It's just bs made up by people who want credit for nothing.
You know.. When engineers thoroughly develop a solution, that solution is always valid, until some new tech changes the fundamental parameters of the problem. Modern advances changed more on things like electronics, while hardcore mechanics didn't change much, aside from new alloy/smelting/tempering and a few other details. I guess the most disruptive tech in that field are composite materials, but until we start seeing rear shafts, gears and what not made out of those, not much will change :D.
So go back to a horse-drawn carriage, and see whether that fits you. Wait, horse carriage was an impressive technology in the antiquity. You should lug everything by feet. Better still, crawl on four feet.
sometimes new is never better. they got the design perfect and there still isnt a way to make it better to this day. brake pads still have some asbestos in them because they havent found a material that performs as well yet for less than 5 times the price
1936: repair broken axle with less than 0.1h work
2020: you will need to replace whole axle for 5000$ + 1000$ for 10h mechanic work

Come on, how often does an axle break in today's modern cars to begin with? Back then maybe it was a constant issue so they had to come up with something.
@@manu144x i don't know my good sir. But have you ever seen the new range Rover where you have to remove the entire chassis from the car just so you can replace a freaking crankshaft pulley? That's retarded.

People nowadays want stuff as cheap as possible, that's why they build them like that. It's the customers who decide what is to be produced ;)
@max power most of the comments go straight to "back when America was.."
You do realize this was when the engines were thrown in with no consideration for the environment, and with no care if they had efficiency.
Ah, how refreshing - advertising a machine based off specifics in it's engineering, with total transparency, and for added points, extra focus on repairability.
Such a great, clear representation of all important points...and the use of "Husky" really brought us aged mid thirties and up back to sears and other mall clothing departments that actually used "Husky" as a size for the "NOT thin" sized children lol
The ability to change an axle from the outside is just genius. Wish we had mechanical features like this more today. Stuff you could fix on the side of the road with a wrench and screwdriver.
Yeah, but I imagine that getting the short piece out of the axle housing would be kind of difficult if it broke in the middle. It could be done with a magnet on a stick, but how many people carried one in those days -- or these days?
@@lewis2553 Exactly.
How often do you have to change the axle on modern cars? Never! That's why they ditched this design. Useless it is.
I love it. Can't stop watching these vids.
Back in the days when you would go to the cinema and watch these! Funny how a "heavier, huskier" axle is better than a lighter one back in the 1930s. Today car makers are trying to make everything lighter, and a new component heavier than a previous model is seen as a major design flaw!
They didn't have Gas issues back in the 30s... Also the need for stronger but yet efficient low displacement engines require that the full weight of the vehicle is lower so it will keep being "Sporty" yet "Eco-Friendly"..
hing is that today's axle of similar type is as sturdy as those where. At that time the issue of smog hadn't manifested itself, and petroleum from the Middle East kept fuel price low
I interpreted the "heavier, huskier" comment as the axle being stronger and more durable, rather than sheer weight for the sake of adding more weight. Don't forget, the video is for a commercial truck axle, not a passenger car. GM uses these types axles in their commercial grade trucks to this day.
De19thKingJulion That's because nowadays engineering is lightyears ahead of that in the 30's. Today the key is making components that are as strong and durable as possible, while at the same time as light as possible.
Tony Danza Really? You can remove an axle that easily on a modern commercial Chevy truck? I can just imagine the April Fools pranks...
this is what American innovation is about. Current US auto manufacturers are a husk of what they once were
Back them whem buyers really apprecite the engineering behind the design. What a crisp and splendid explananation
I want one!
This video convinced me!
Very nice explanation, great vid (film)! ;)
fuck this is probably still 10 times stronger then the axles they make today! look how much steel that thing is made of!
Yeah guess this truck is heavy af then :D . Modern axles can probably handle the same but are more compact due to advance in materials technology.
TARider2: The rear axles today are much stronger, though not necessarily heavier, than 1936 models. They have to be since most modern trucks are heavier with larger wheels, tires, and bigger engines and transmissions designed to carry a heavier load.
It is a sign of weak moral fortitude to cuss while trying to make a point.
I believe that one of the comparable advances from that time to modern technology is probably in the alloys used. Nowadays they're much stronger. Besides that, the engineering and tech is probably all still the same. But I must admit, back in that day they were building it for extreme longevity, while today there is "product life cycle" shenanigans...
its a big truck. its not for a 1/2" ton
Engineer at that time is smart...no calculator...no computer...all manual...can build such precise and high quality product...
These ancient videos are still as relevant now as when they were made. The basic fundamentals haven’t changed.
When cars, and pretty much everything was built steel-solid... Now we live in a plastic world, were everything is disposable within months or just a couple of years at most.
TheHuskyGT to be utterly fair. Those are also the days when cars are death traps. That plastic bends and breaks, dispersing force, exactly as it was designed to do. Rather than have all that force transfer to you.
Especially those "biodegradable plastics" I mean after 4-5 years of usage, the plastic on the car just disintegrates into nothingness?!
EDIT: Basically rots
A lot of times they'll use a cheap plastic part that is designed to break to save an expensive metal part.
john martin old cars were still extremely dangerous even with seatbelts. Have you ever paid attention to the size of the B Pillars on classics vs modern? Old is pencil thin while modern is nearly 6 inches in width.
Back then they used steel because it was cheap and effective. Not because they were high quality.
They switched to plastic because it was cheaper to use and could still retain quality.
Fast forward to now, everyone wants cheap vehicles that are still safe, so the interiors usually suffer quality to maintain a low cost and still make profit.
i wouldn't argue safety issues i'd argue reliability and cost factor. .i mean plastic thermostat housing .... like wow
Hey, truck mechanics! Ever have one come to you with an interior axle shaft broken off, especially if it happens right close to the ring -pinion set? How do you snag that broken piece without losing it in the banjo? If you do, you gotta take out the "pig"! Here's a trick! Take out the other shaft on the other side. Get a fence pipe larger than the axle end. Stick it in the side with the broken piece, up against the broken piece, or actually over it if enough sticks out. Have someone hold this pipe in place and tell him not to allow it to be forced back out as you work. Go on the other side with a long bar, put it through the spider gear until you touch the end of the broken shaft. Both spiders are hollow where the splines are, so one leads to the other. Now whack it with a hammer, and the broken part will end up in the pipe. Carefully withdraw the pipe with the broken shaft inside!
Wait. How the fuck did that guy get the broken axle piece out of the tube? He would have had to use something, they just skiped it XD
Sleight of hand....like chevys far later steel vs aluminum pickup bed comparison...
You just lift the car and shake it hard on the side until all the pieces come out, what's so difficult?
Wish they still made these videos. These videos are better at explaining mechanical concepts than anything I've ever seen
I found this channel and im stuck in a strong energy to learn automobile engineering..
they made everything so much simpler back then , and better . WOW that is super easy to change an axle ! wish I coulda lived back then
Chad Jones you can still do that with most (all?) 3/4 ton & up pickups.
Im a ford guy, but knowing that chevy brought about this amazing technology makes me respect them a lot more
Wasn't Ford still using cable-operated brakes in 1936?
1936, yet the amount of technology and precision. Amazing.
I love these chevrolet instructional videos.
