Forgotten 1925 Studebaker HEARSE / FIRE TRUCK! - Will it RUN AND DRIVE after 17 years?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2021
- To change things up - I wanted a challenge. Something out of my wheelhouse. So I bought this 1925 Studebaker, that I believe was originally a Hearse based on documents and the way that it is. It was later converted to a fire truck! Think this sleeping giant will run again? #oreillypowered

The switch on the passenger floor board is for an old motorized siren, from the fire truck days; the 2 clamp things as you called them are old hard suction hose clamps; the " spigot " is for an engine cooler, piped from water tank,when it was equipped as a fire truck, to aid in engine cooling, when it is in high idle, when pumping water for firefighting; the "lever" inside on the floor is the parking brake; the door grab handles are also from the fire days as well; the old 6volt systems, only needed 2 wires & it didn't matter which was positive or negative; be careful around old 6 volt systems, some of them had magneto & the " amperes, is also known as Amps; & was necessary to know how much the generator was producing ; alternators like cars have now,didn't come around until the 1940's when 12volt systems became the standard. Sounds like the timing is a little slow. and yes I have experience as a retired firefighter.
Sounds like this truck should be yours
Some of the old trucks are positive ground. Yes the starter, ignition, lights would likely not care about polarity. A fixed magnet motor would run backwards but since most starter motors are series wound, the magnetic field would also reverse so they would still run the right rotation. But what about the generator, wouldn't the generator take issue with reverse polarity?
@pinned by vice grip garage give it up bro iam to damn smart for you shit I’ve emailed Derek already showed him
I was going to post several of the items you did, then saw your post. No point in posting them again when I can just agree with you. I had 23 years in the fire service, myself.
I agree, sounds like she needs just a bit of timing advance. But solve the fuel delivery issue first. Does no good to get her started if you can't meter the fuel!
This channel is more entertaining than anything on tv I’ve seen in the last decade. 👍🏻
I hope Derek never gets too crazy. I used to watch road kill on UA-cam when it first came out I was with them since the first episode they dropped a new episode every 3rd or 4th friday IIRC and I'd wait to watch every single one. They did lots of cool revivals and similar stuff but they got popular and now you gotta pay for a motor trend subscription and I lost interest.
Agreed
I am absolutely fascinated with this truck. Amazing! This truck is almost a hundred years old. Just bad ass!
Agreed. You should check out Cold War Motors as well.
The new Red Green.
Those brackets would be very small for the vast majority of 1925-1940s fire extinguishers. They're also much fancier than any extinguisher mounting bracket, that I've ever seen at least, from the era. It's seems more likely they came from a hearse and were carriers for flowers, or feathers that were involved in the funerary business.
Yes you are correct it was also a delivery truck and when he needed to pick up a body he just threw on those brackets and it was a funeral wagon people didn't die everyday so it had to wear two hats so to speak,that's my theory anyway lol
It's so nice to see gentlemen like him reviving these pieces of automotive history.
The nickel pieces you thought were for flowers were for stack tip nozzles which were very very popular in the 20’s for forefighting
The button on the passenger side was for a Q siren
The spicket was for a heater
The carb on the firewall
Is for cold start eyther injection
Cool.
Nice to know that info do you have or have had one? Just curious you know a fair bit unless you just looked on google
@@tedbundy3775 35 years as a fire fighter
And 20’years restoring antique fire engines
It’s been my passion since I was old
Enough to walk
I figured the gate valve was fer the heater. I had no idea about the old weather carb! Fascinating!
All the old stacked tip playpipes ive evever seen have the 3 jaw hockey puck holder with the bottom lever.
My mind blew up when I saw "1925 Studebaker". The content coming from this channel is getting better all the time.
I'm hoping for a Full Series on this Awesome Truck
@@charliefrisbie3764 Imagine how nice this truck could be if he has the time to get back on the road with new shoes and screws.
I did imagine it from the pic in the news feed. I'm seeing a Tow Truck with all new wood , looking stock with the Petina on the steel, Rebuild the engine & make an R code of it. A little chrome on the engine. No cutting on ,or removing of the hood. If they want to see that Paxton Supercharger ,open the hood. Either Side Pipes ,or even Stacks like the Lil Red Express. As for wheels, Polished billet aluminum in a Big Rig style. And maybe just a little chrome hardware on the boom & row bars + accessories. Top it off by having a buddy letter the doors for Sweetz'SpeedShop
I really enjoyed watching you on this episode. Your actual joy when this vehicle started enlightened me. I liked watching your raw, real feelings in this episode. Can't wait to watch the next one...
To be straight forward...I mainly listen when I'm working alone in my garage or on other things. Listening to a guy gives me the feeling of workin on things with a good ol' pal....testin on stuff, checkin spark-a-lators and such.
You're doin good work! I appreciate you!
We need to bring this guy up to a million subscribers, best UA-camr ever, keep up the good work Derek.
him and cleeter kill it
I was hoping months ago that we would get him there for the 4th of July but I think we're gonna come up short. He'll definitely be there by the end of the year.
I've been try brothers a fella been trying wish I could sub million time just for him he rocks
Agreed. I smash the like button every time I get a notice...then watch the vid. I've never once been disappointed.
Amen brother
O’Reilly’s has had those spark plugs sitting on the shelf since 1929 just waiting for a feller to stop in.
More than likely they cross reference as tractor parts. Lots if old, common tractors use 1920s automotive technology.
Spark plugs haven’t changed much since WW1 in basic mechanical design - internal resistors and precious metal being the biggest detail changes (except for aircraft plugs that got bigger threads and shielding in WW2).
I too was amazed. I am sure other stuff uses them, but still, 1925?
Bet the 1929 price ticket is gone though. I wonder what they would have cost?
I see a sponsor!
Unquestionably the coolest vehicle I've ever seen you work on! You really have something completely unique there.
One heck of a great Channel! I just can’t get enough of it ! I rather watch this than anything ! Turn on news and it’s our country and leadership and world problems . This just makes me feel good and positive ! Thanks fellers !
Man even a classic would say that’s a classic. That truck was 52 years old when Smokey and the Bandit came out
That would make it a antique
So old you could even skip the smog check in California!
lol. right! It's a classic's classic!
Unfathomable! Lol
The bed floor is petrified.
Keep the "will it run and drive home" videos coming man!
I second that! Just reading the notification on my screen brought a smile to my face.
It's these videos that made me subscribe. That old white cadillac in the field was the one that made me say "Ok this guy is awesome" haha
@@upnorth5465 Same here.
Yep I’ve been living for them throughout lockdown!
@@lastofthebest5102 I would hope not, he is the "Red Green" of cars and if he does it right he can stay real and make his money.
Dear Derek, @41:06 you can see (and hear) sparks jump from the main coil wire to the mechanical--timing-adjuster-cable. My bet would be that it will start with new lightning wires. Thanks fo all your wonderful videos!
Derek, THANK YOU for all the smiles and Laughs you’ve given all us folks! WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Can we all take a moment to bask in the majesty that is that stuffed tiger in the background?
Haha I noticed that as well!!
“She’s more stuck than a Ford Ranger in a field.” MAN that one hit home for me. 😂
Pow.. Right in the kisser for me too.
Me too. I inherited a Ranger from my father in law. It almost got stuck on a paved street in a rain puddle in a Midwest June. I had to spin it out.
Nice firebird
Bro my homies gearshift from 2007 felt this hard in the synchros
Ouch. My Ranger is 2x4 so...yeah
I think what you're doing is fantastic and I really hope that you get this wonderful piece of rolling history back on the road again.
Such an awesome rig, insane to think this is almost 100 years old and ready to live again
A guy is really diggin on this ol' gal... really wondering where a fella is gonna find some new dancing shoes for her! Let alone a new carb!
Loveeeee your channel dude!!!!!!
Coker Tire should have the tires in stock!
This one definitely seems right up your alley, Matt!
Coker will have them tires stock just need 2nd mortgage on the house to get them
@Diesel Creek J C Whitney Might Have A Carb Or Carb Kit
The lever in the cab was to dump the casket out. People were tougher back in the day.
Ya sure it's not a passenger ejection seat lever???
@@robertmcbee4671 isn’t that where the casket should go?
Ejecto seato
🤣🤣🤣
The casket dump-in-nator 😎
This Truck is not only an Car, it has History on it and it is an Piece of Art from the old Times too. Love it !!
I absolutely love your channel, very much my new favourite thing to watch. You are such a great watch. Love this old girl is nearly 100 years old! It's absolutely awesome to see such amazing old engineering working today. Thank you so much for all of your effort!
The pedal on the passenger side in the floor was likely for a mechanical siren when the truck was used in the fire service. It is standard to this day for the passenger to operate the “Q” with a foot pedal. Also I believe those are old fire extinguisher mounts.
Also, once she starts running, advance the spark about half way using the lever in the cab, then slowly ease your throttle down as it warms up. You’ll be able to hear her smooth out as you advance the spark.
Yeah, he didnt do anything with the spark advance, it's probably either full advanced or retarded which is why he's having trouble getting it to stay running. Of course nearly a hundred years of carb fuckery isnt helping either, but he could likely find a usable carb off an old tractor.
Was going to say same thing
I don't know about the carb, but I am certain you are correct on the siren. I am also certain you have more gray hair than me....
Probably got more hair than some of us.
Ya know, every time I see this guy I cannot believe how effortlessly he makes a connection with his audience.I feel very comfortable watching him like I'm watching a dear friend.
He’s got wholesome feel like something you watch after watching a horror movie and being scared shitless
He’s the only UA-cam channel whose merch I bought, literally just felt compelled to.
He's like watching my brothers when I was a child the era of the cars fit and he's a blast to watch!!!!
I know he reminds me of a friend of mine that just passed away this year he was the same way that Midwestern accent Was pretty much the same
Kinda like Andy of Mayberry. Like if Andy and Helen had a kid…Opie’s half brother…
Thank you Derek for what you are doing. A favorite channel!
Almost a million subscribers!
This project is awesome! I actually live in a 1925 boat. Still running on the west coast Canada. I bet J Lenno has a carb on the shelf... hope to see you driving this beast home. Freaking awesome 👌
I dont mean to sound weird but this mans voice is so smooth. Hes like a bob ross for fixing cars and things
that's probably the best description i've read so far.
i'm just waiting on a line like * i found this happy little accident in the trunk* or something along those lines
Lol. He makes happy little clouds with the tires.
I agree
Yes! I am an Attorney. I write appeals and PCR petitions in capital cases. I rarely go to court. I spend many, many hours on the computer every day, reading and writing. I have a computer with two 27" 4K monitors. After a couple hours sitting at the computer, it gets just too damned quiet! I have found it helps me concentrate to bring up a playlist of videos from one of my favorite UA-cam channels and just let it play, in the background. The problem is most UA-cam creators have voices that grate on my nervers. A very few have voices that are soothing.Darren is one of those. He has the voice of an old-time radio commentator. Others who have soothing voices are Justin at TVR Exploration, Gly at Abandoned and Forgotten Places, and the young couple who produce Pin in the Atlas. Listening to these people in the background keeps me productive!
Reminds me of Red Green
Parts - Studebaker International on the inner webs can get you hooked up with big 6 248ci parts and yes your missing the fuel vacuum canister
@vicegrip garage
@vicegripgarage
Isn't the Big Six a 354?
It was also a sedan model during those years so it's confusing trying to figure it out.
Keeping the faith Derek - I know you will get it running and driving.
I am still waiting for the next episode. Hope it's soon. Love you man. Stay safe and keep digging. I love what you do and ive been learning a lot about cars most of all old school cars I've got one myself.
I’ve noticed there is a second part! What an old truck.
Who else was sitting there while he was trying to start yelling at the screen "come on ole girl, you can do it!"
ME, MYSELF, and I! Damn it! She wanted to fire!
i was actually yellin.. laughin gas!!!! but i dunno if the ole girl wouldve enjoyed that
This was me yelling at the 13 year old motorcycle I bought last Friday that hadn't been run in a year and a half. Took 4 tanks of Berrymans and a whole lotta fuel-makeit-happener rejuvenater spray to clean out the gummed up idle jets!
Bring the thunder!
"Bring the thunder !!" personally.
I cried a little when that 6 fired up, because it probably would have never run again and continue to tell stories at car shows or just gas stations. Great video as always Derek 💪
After a lifetime of working on basically junk,I still get that happy feeling when something actually fires up. I SHARED YOUR JOY.
YOU ARE AWESOME! i was cheering when she fired up..love it
the content is crazy the last cuple of months ... thank you to Jessica and Dereck for the hard work behind the scene
I'm sure there's some irony in there somewhere, a fella bringing a hearse back to life an all.
Can't wait to see the old gal cruising down the road again. Would love to see a restoration series on this beautiful machine.
Keep up the great work Derek!!

Those sidebars by the doors makes it a Hearse. Like you, I believe it is a fantastic find and really deserves to be brought back into the light and appreciated.
What a cool find! I hope you can can get it rolling again, Dereck! Waiting to see your next vid on this project.
If you have ever heard of the iola car show and swap meet, they should have a good majority of what you need there. Its in iola wisconsin. Runs july 9-11. Also, bring a wagon to haul stuff in.
First time he opened a door and didn’t reel back from the smell.
Ain't that the truth!!!

Wow I rebuilt one of those back in 06 at my engine machine shop. Brings back a lot of memories especially the chain driven starter
I like old cars and actually have a 63 falcon that hasn’t run since 1980. The more I watch you the more it makes me want to get my old gal running and use it every day. Your channel is the bomb and I enjoy it very much. Your lingo is very unique and makes this channel one of the best.
19 years old fella here! Thanks to you I got my old 86 c10 unit running and driving with the help of your videos! Every time I watch I learn more and more ! Thank you so much for putting out such educational and humble content!

@@TheMeta6 Does (Last of the Best) tell us something?
Snaps to you Derrick! Those of us who love cars and appreciate how they made our lives great and helped for our country watch your videos and we envy a guy who is doing what he really loves. To look at the vehicles as they were in their prime and think about how their owners loved them when they were new and shiny is something not every guy can do. Keep
Been busy for about a week and haven't got to watch your videos. Makes me feel happy right now! Right back at home. Never stop.
Cool, hey my dad told me my great aunt had her driver's license renewed at age 100yrs old, she drove an old studabaker she could only drive around town. She was 106 when she passed in Nebraska
Lemme guess, car accident?
Are you done playing on the track?
These videos are way more informative!!
Did someone’s feelings get hurt and my comment was deleted? Good, maybe you got the point.
@@markrundquist3348 if you are referring to my great aunt she passed away from old age, no car accident
@Sappho Nymph I know eh.
2am and I’m scrolling through my UA-cam before I crash for the night and a new VGG video comes across my feed. Time to refill the drink and light another smoke cuz we’re watching, it’s our duty as fellow Americans to like,comment and watch all his videos. I sure do hope you bring this ole gal bag to her glory days. Would make an awesome full restoration build
I love that all these old cars you find always want to run for you no matter how long they were left for dead. Don't tell me machines don't have a spirit. They know your the closest thing to love and understanding they have maybe ever had.
i live in elkhart, indiana, grew up in mishawaka, and my grandfather worked at studebaker after ww2 until they went belly up. He told all kinds of stories about the factory in south bend. After they closed there were pallets of unused new old stock studebaker engines that got auctioned off. Ive got an original studebaker clock with neon around the edge of the clock that hung on the wall of the production floor
I'll be dipped. You can resurrect the dead, a holy man.
May God bless you with the necessary resources to make that piece of history live again! Thank you for the great entertainment Derek!
You do remarkable things, a true mechanic.
Im slowly going through and watching all your videos. Love them man and everything your doing.
Great purchase Derrick, it still thinks it’s a Hearse, that’s why the engine is Coffin..
That's too funny!
PFFFT HA HA HA XD
You cadaver career in comedy with jokes like that 👍
Read that to my wife and she dang near vapor locked!
I Can't Even Believe You Got Your Hands On That Truck, How Cool is That
@@lastofthebest5102 That's What She Said....
Please don't give up on this truck. I'm lovin on this old thing!
I love rooting for this guy and find myself excited to see them run.
If you struggle to find some of those needle parts, take a couple of good pictures with a ruler for scale - I'd be happy to 3d print you a new one out of nylon... Looks totally doable.
I was wondering if such a thing was possible, I guess so.
ya! or a metal 3d printer could make it
The nylon would be temporary. The engine heat would destroy it over time.
@@PMDc-OneCarGarage but the fuel would be a coolant for the needle at any rate
@@crazytrain7114 I would agree with engineered nylon. I just don't think the printed grade would be as resistant. Worth a try though if no other options.
Great to see you finally looking at a car more of the age I’m into. FYI the spark advance/retard and throttle should be controlled with those steering wheel levers. The lever and cable arrangement definitely a later adjustment with spark system update. For your carb, I would get a Massey Ferguson TE20 off the evil bay. Stacks of new ones and spares and will be much simpler to work with. I use them on veteran overlands, studebakers all the time. If you want originality, I’m sure the local studebaker club will sort you out. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have as well, my dad restores these cars for a living.
Heya, I'm not the man himself but I'm a sucker for knowledge I'm probably never going to have any use for and un-asked questions rarely gets answered
I'm seeing a lever with a spring up front, also looking at pictures there seems to be missing linkage going to the carb, I'm guessing it's a guvernor?
While cranking it sounds like escaping spark (to me), is it just starter chain rattle, valve train or is there something else that is supposed to be "a little clicky"?
If you happen to be knowledgeable about TEA-20's or have a greybeard on hand I've also got a question about noises from a '52 i haven't found the answer for
@@jonathans3971 by up font do you mean on outside near radiator? If so could be a lever that pulls the choke/throttle for when you crank start.
Clicking noises are often hard to find use a stethoscope or a long rod held against your ear and touch different parts of the engine to find source.
I have an old te20 that I used as a kid, slashing, digging gardens etc, but I’m not an expert on them sorry.
Does pops have a channel?
If not he should!
I don’t l know a thing about cars, but I really enjoy the deadpan and clever phrasing of Derek. And, we just need the calmness and caring of this gentle soul…
The git-er-done Kid flies again! I can never watch VGG without a bunch of laffs and some solid mechanical enjoyment. The kid reminds me of my late brother: always up for an adventure! I'm gonna love seeing this old Stud' fixed up nice.
This guy can get a 1925 year old truck going while others can't even think to plug a vacuum line or open the choke. The level of experience makes a huge difference in the enjoyability of watching him work. You actually learn something in his videos.
Yeah i agree. Guys these days cant even work the mrs vacuum cleaner .

I am overjoyed to have found this channel 👍 Thanks Derek 👌
He’s humble about his wealth of knowledge, and his sarcasm adds so much to his sense of humor!!!
this one deserves a full series. it could be a really nice wood sided pickup
Oh man, you need to make a series on this one, rebuild that engine.
My dad had.a 1926 2door sedan till around 2010. It was called the “whiskey six” because of which you said it was loved by bootleggers.
Inside underneath the back seat,you lift up the so-called floor board, was a metal box built right in between the frame for hauling booze!
Quietest smoothest running engineer I’ve heard in my 63 years all you could hear was the tick tick tick of the staples holding the fan belt together! Speedometer went up to 75, the dome light still worked. The wind up clock on the dash still kept perfect time.
The single rear taillight/stop light actually said “Studabaker stop”
Wish I could find it and get it back!!
Reminds me so much of my grandfather way you talk haha im sick with covid and watching all the episodes thanks for making this dark time better for me hope you see this man thank you for doing this God bless
Please do this one right Derek, it will be amazing to follow the series and see her restored. What a gem you have. Thanks mate
Agreed, it's begging for a legit restoration
Yes, please!
In 1925 an ambulance and hearse were generally the same thing...
Also a full body car. No “cab”. It’s really interesting.
Yup
😮😂
Ambulances before the mid-seventies were just used to bring your pieces to the hospital.
In small town America & into the 70's, hearses often did double duty as ambulances. I reckon that's why we were nicer to the local undertakers?
Great video, thank you. You got it to fire, that is so awesome. Considering the age of the soft parts, that was a miracle!!! I can’t wait to see part 2!
Derek….please don’t let this project die….really want to see this one run again! You can do it…with the help of a new carb! Or, use the carb off your lawn tractor! 😁
I liked seeing the old man in the door window run by when he heard it running. He probably got a kick out of it.
This truck is the exact definition of "They don't make 'em like they used to"
thankfully
That's a good thing.
The hearse was an ambulance way back in the day. As for the fire truck, our 1st tanker was an old beer truck that we modified. The passenger button was probably used for the siren. Nice vid. Thx for sharing.
What an amazing truck, love it.
You are the American Red Green;
"Keep your stick on the ice."
The button on passenger floor is more than likely to run the siren when it was a fire truck.
Had exactly the same thought
I agree.

There is a Penberthy carb injector co one on eBay. “Ball and Ball penberthy” those were lantern hangers for a old brass Dietz lanterns as well. You actually got it to fire. holy…
I think they also sell re-build kits. Found one link here. But it didnt list SV-34A, only SV-30, SV-40 and a few others. www.thecarburetorshop.com/Kstudebaker.htm
Kind of a "Christine" moment when those dash lights came on 😆
it is also likely the oldest truck you may ever see in person. Amazing piece of modified history with some wicked potential for weight reduction
The small end of that funky clamp goes into the small opening of a fire nozzle. The "horseshoe" end goes around the big end of the fire nozzle. I think it mounted to a vertical surface with the small end down. Great truck!!

As it's turning over, I swear I hear spark where spark shouldn't be.

The timing on those can be a bit finicky with worn out parts and we don't know where he has it set at when he's trying to start it since it's cable controlled by a knob on the dash that he's probably moving.
Yeah, I heard a spark “click....click” as it was turning over, too
Wondering if that might be the old stitched belt flopping, or maybe the chain drive for the starter/generator flopping as it’s hitting on compression.
Suppose it could also be a broken plug lead arcing too.

Amazing old vehicle.
Fantastic videos in this one. I just about jumped out of my chair when she popped off. I'd like to see it restored, but leave the finish. Put a nice wood sided box on it. Again...fantastic startup. Keep them coming.
Those handles were most likely from the firetruck days as the firemen rode the running boards.
I think it was a pickup truck turned firetruck.
I was just about to say the same thing! Glad I read the comments first to make sure a guy wasn't repeatin' on anything
Maybe for Pallbears to ride on the running boards with them. Not enough room in the cab for everyone.
