Matt, I am sitting here in Pittsburgh with two of the original owners daughters as well as his son. It’s funny, we were literally talking about the farm you picked this up from today and we’re wondering about the jeep they grew up riding around the farm on and we’re hoping you had got it running. Lo and behold we see this video and watched it as a family and literally cheered when we saw you got it running and drove it! Seeing that had brought so much joy to the family and are so happy that we get to follow along and keep the legacy of this jeep alive. Hopefully it won’t be a year before the next video 😉
What are the odds!
Awesome
I’m a South African subscriber and am thrilled at your joy in unexpectedly seeing the jeep come to life. What wonderful memories 😊
From Pittsburgh also, waiting on running into this guy on my travels
Wow, how cool is that!
There is a real joy in hearing an old engine for the first time in decades. And it's all the more when you do it your self. Well done🔧☺️
I spy with my little eye… Matt got himself a nice shiny new work truck! Congrats buddy, you deserve it! Keep up the hard work and bringing those relics back from the dead.
This is what I was wondering too... I've seen it in a couple videos in the background and have looked for the video talking about it.... Seems I recall seeing the old blue one getting towed but don't recall seeing any details. I'm curious if the old 6.0 finally self destructed like they do.
Yeah! Would like to know more. Looks like a newer ford FX4. Pretty sweet! No need to hide it… give us a go around on it!
Try the thermostat mat
I love how Matt re takes some of the narration but then doesn't bother editing them out - shows that he's a real guy just having some fun and trying to make his best possible content.
Oh I meant to edit them out lol that was yet another mistake 😂🤦🏼♂️
@@DieselCreek don't ever change, your content is perfect exactly as it is.
gotta love the old stuff , no need to remove ten things to get to the actual part you want to repair and plenty of room to work
I wish things were just as easy nowadays, even my 2002 seat leon (basicly a golf mk4) is an absolute shitbox because of stupid electronics.
@@BierdopjeNL That is why I would hate to get rid of my 99 Tahoe with a 350 ----lots of room. and only 120,000 miles but the air needs fixen.
@@markhamilton1847 mine got a 1.6L 16v putting out a whopping 105hp to the crank. Almost always has check engine light on, has an egr that ruins engines... probably gonna buy a little shitbox like a toyota aygo/Peugeot 107/citroen c1 or something similar. You probably never heard of those tho. Look em up, they're hideous but quite reliable except for an occasional waterpump failure.
I feel the same way as well.
I just pulled a twin turbo subaru legacy motor out to pull the heads off because it blew a head gasket what a fucking joke those things are
Immensely satisfying, Matt! I was given a derelict 1941 Ford Jeep around 1955 which I plus friends and family got running after much work and experimentation. Later I put a CJ2a body on it, my grandmother and I made a canvas top and it performed splendidly for years. Enjoy it and hurry up with the next installment!
I had a MB 1
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
You have a 41 GPW frame?
You could sell that and any OG driveline components and buy a restored CJ
Kyle, that was 65 years ago and any remains are long gone! As I recall, I used the original Ford frame and with minor modifications, simply bolted the CJ body on.
Matt, you got the Jeep running and next is the "head-gasket," which I cannot wait to see!
Well done, Matt!
when i was 12 my dad taught me how to drive with one of these. We spent hours and days out in the field driving around. He sold it one day and i have missed it ever since. If i ever were to come across one like this at a cheap price I would frame off restore it and enjoy it. so easy to work on and fun to drive around...
I was a little bit younger than that when my dad taught me how to drive because we had a camp that was 2 miles from the township Road and this is in the 60s this is about 1967. My dad figured if he got hurt back there he was going to need somebody to be able to go to make a phone call and that was out at the Snyder residence. That was the nearest phone 2 miles away so I had to learn how to drive that international scout and 66 scout and it was kind of funny when my dad was gonna show me how to drive he says see that little branch on that tree over there break that off and give it to me OK daddy I think I was about nine years old now I think about it so I give them that stick andand he told me how to get going and I was started riding a clutch and he whacked me real good with that little stick I said what was that for because you never supposed to ride the clutch anyway you guys have a good day and I appreciate you wanting to get another vehicle like you’re talking about
Trying to hide that red truck in the background..... looks like someone got some new wheels 👍
Definitely a head gasket, and probably a good idea to replace the thermostat and its gasket as well. I actually love the narrow tires, those older Jeeps look great with them.
Hi how are you doing 😊
Hey Matt sweet little CJ gonna be a nice summer run around.
Don't know how far you want to go with it, but if you need any body panels, we manufacture all of the body panels for CJ models, in fiberglass right here in Arizona.
They'll never rust, reach out if you want to know more.
Look forward to seeing this back on the road.
Love that sound when she smoothed out better. 71 CJ5 here 37,000 on it. Road it home when dad bought it out of the lot.
Yes! Been waiting for the jeep to make an appearance, thanks for all the hard work Matt!
Same
There's something about putting 4 new tires on your car that just makes you feel good about life for awhile. It makes you just want to get going on a project, go for a drive... perfect motivation.
Tyres*
I used to put parts like this in small cans---put the lid on--then place to in the back of my pickup to bounce around while I ran errands. By the time you get home it is clean as a whistle!
Love it! A Jeep is a great way to tool around and they are also therapeutic! If either I or my wife have had a bad day, just a short ride in the Jeep will cause all that to just melt away. I looked for one like this for a while and then finally bought an ‘01 Wrangler over 10 years ago and have never regretted it!
You nailed it on the right tires! Definitely matches the time period of the Jeep.
Exactly what I thought
And (roughly -- not sure what OEM size was) the right size. Old 4WD = cheesecutter tyres.
Plus less chance of getting stuck in mud or snow. Watch some old Model T films, skinny wheels, no getting stuck.
Totally agree 😊👍
Matt - your reaction when these things fire up for the first time is why I’m hooked to this channel! Your enthusiasm is genuine and it always shows! Keep up the great work!
A Roger Rabbit bit, AND a Wolf Crick Pass reference!! You are killing it Matt! 🤠
Golden Age of Trucking. Good channel with pictures out of the 40-50s. Lots of A Cars.
That’s a rare find! I had actually forgotten you had picked that up. It’ll be a fun toy once you get the head gasket worked out!
Also sounds like the valves might need adjusting
One heck of a barn find, Matt. Your reactions when you get stuff running are priceless. By the way, did somebody buy a new truck? Possibly a red dually?..lol
It was nearly as exciting as being there.
I've got a 2001 Suzuki to play with. You've inspired me.
I saw that too.
New truck teaser?
I think old Blue finally gave up the turbo hauling Christine to the show last episode.
I saw the red dually as well. I hope we get to see a video going through the buying process as well as what happened to Old Blue.
Those Jeeps are so basic and easy to work on and built tough!
I sure wouldn't mind owning one myself. Fun project Matt.
Hi Ghett how are you doing 😊
Oh, wow! I had tears in my eyes. I remember when my dad bought a brand new 64 Willys Jeep with snowplow. I learned to drive at age 14 plowing snow in that Jeep. So, so, many memories. Dad's in heaven now, but thank you for bringing a small part of him back. Looking forward to the next video.
I consider you my favorite UA-camr I’ve been watching before the first auto car video and the journey has been amazing you’ve come so far. From a muddy treefilled road to a nice smooth driveway and all the other accomplishments like a new shop starting from 2 containers that’s a big accomplishment from just 1 man. Thanks Matt for bringing us along I’ve learned so much.
Four minutes in and I have to pause to say that I totally dig those tires you chose. They look good even as skinny pizza cutter wheels.
Nothing better for snow than pizza cutters.
@@bradleysmith2021 Absolutely, they look correct for a Jeep, it is a rough tough vehicle, not a pansy street rod.
So happy to see this driving again, mostly. My only question is, did you get a new truck without telling us? Only feel a little betrayed, just a little lol.. Love everything you do and thank you for doing it. Truly the highlight of the weekend on UA-cam
Hi, I'm Ruben Zarate, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I really like old vehicles, the Jeep is so cute.
I love watching these 'Will it run' videos. Its great to see what it takes to get something running that's not been ran for years and all trials and tribulations that it takes. So I'll be sure to wait for the next episode. 👍
Jeeps are tough, this one will do you proud. Thanks for sharing your journey and your passion for old iron. Its amazing how well things were built to last and they do! Thanks for running us over again..
Plus they are lightweight and low on power so they are made for those narrow tires that was standard offroad in the past and worked wonders on the early Jeeps and Land Rovers. Hope the wife will be happy with her new summer ride!
Hi Roger how are you doing 😊
Wow, that was definitely a great find for sure! I'd go the same route you are with it. She's a keeper no doubt. I'd fix what needs to be fixed, send the seats to an upholstery shop (I think the little Jeep deserves that at least), and drive it as a survivor. She'd be a fun little rig to tool around town in during the summer months, add a cloth top and maybe some LED driving lights on the bumper for nighttime use, and it's complete!
Your enthusiasm keeps me coming back.
A barn find, in most cases, requires repair work done by a skilled mechanic. Matt is LOADED with skills! 😍👏👍❗ Love these restoration videos! You da bomb, Matt! ❤❤❤ Love, love the Semi-Supervillans! Great background music! 🎼🎵🎶
Hey Matt, You might wat to do a coolant pressure test on the system before tearing the engine apart. Those bubbles could have been air sucked down through the water pump because the rad wasn't full. A pressure test and borescope in the cylinders at the same time would give you a better diagnosis. My dad had one of those in the early 70's. It was sweet.
I agree! Saved me lots of time in the past!😉😉
I’m surprised that it runs; I’m amazed by how well it runs. Can’t wait to see her running after some TLC😊. Another home run, Matt, way to go!
Don't make 'em like they used to
Hi how are you doing 😊
Glad you got it running, Matt! I can't tell, but it looks like an "F" head motor. One step past the flat head.These had one valve in the head and one in the block. Looks like your intake is high(in the head), but the exhaust looks like it might be low, out of the block. These motors have real long connecting rods and are prone to breaking crankshafts. I had one years ago(80's). It was a 1959 CJ5. Just don't over rev it. I broke the crankshaft trying to pass a car going 45mph and it made a horrendous noise when I got beside the car(In 84 PA on 519). It drove all the way back to Canonsburg with a broken crank. It broke across a connecting rod journal & the connecting rod held it together. Lots of torque, though!
Looks like you got a new super duty dually there. Almost red in color. Very nice.
Yeah i was like. The blue Jeep is cool, had one when I was a teenager. But I’ve never had a big as red heavy duty Ford.
Matt your enthusiasm, humor with a great laugh, plus a skill level to make things work. Now on to the brakes. You step on the petal and it goes to the floor and stays there like stepping on a plum. I have been laughing at that for quite awhile. Keep it coming
I remember as a youngster a shade tree mechanic working on his Ford Fairlane telling me to focus on getting Cyl #1 working and the rest will follow! Have fun with your restoration Matt.
Could never see the same satisfaction from a fully electric vehicle revival. Great work, masterclass for all us rookies!
Would love to see a full wash and detailing session on this jeep. Great video!
Your excitement is showing!
Been subscribed just after you built your container building. Your videos just keep getting better!
Welcome, I also subscribed during his building of the container shop. Been loving it ever since.
@@bitsnpieces11 subscribed to your channel. Perhaps you might enjoy following along as I get my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban (Wagon) back to daily driver condition.

Me three! Do y’all remember how many subscribers were there when we started at that time?
Me four.
@@tmscheum I've been too busy watching to count.
Glad to see you come back to this project. The original barn find video is what brought me to the channel. Fantastic!
Love what you do, Matt. I used to run an auto shop. I do have one little piece of constructive criticism. I'm sure you noticed where you were working on that jeep. Right next to your big expensive machine and your truck's cab. On the jeep, you were dealing with a fuel delivery system and unfortunate accidents DO happen. You do enough of this that the law of averages is not in your favor no matter how careful you are. Were that jeep catch on fire there and go up in flames, it would have been a very unfortunate situation with plenty of collateral damage. I know. I know. It's just one more thing to have to think about but.....
Starter motor looks like it was carved from a rock 😂 Great work cheers Matt🍻
One of the best channels on UA-cam. Always great content and Matt just loves doing this. Should be over a million subs by now really.
When you first get it running, the caucophonic chaos that was hitting my ears was glorious. The valve train, the dry bottom end knock and the dead skip break msg me right back to my first truck.
I’ve been working on a 1970 CJ 5 for two years. It’s been a very enjoyable experience. I love your videos. Thanks again.
YES!!!! No If's And's or but's! Matt, if it just the head gasket, I would most definitely love to see you give this jeep some love, attention and get it back to being roadworthy. The jeep design makes for a very easy disassembly /reassembly it is an ideal candidate for a minor frame off restoration. A bit of body work, a lick of paint, canvas top and this thing would be sweet.
It's great to see it going again Matt. It's also good to see your awareness of editing so you are live editing as you film along . Keep the good stuff coming Matt. Because what ever it is so far , it's good stuff if it's diesel creek
Thought I was losing it hearing double had to rewind and check 😂
@@kindlyrewinded7669 yep . I had to get used to it myself . He sometimes does repeat himself if he thinks it donr sound right for editing. But usually leaves it in anyway. Not many content makers have that ability. It saves in filming time for sure
Hi, just wanted to say that I just found your channel and I am really enjoying it. Even as somebody who is blind I’ve always loved cars and it’s nice to find a channel that still is able to keep me interested even though I can’t see the screen. Keep up the great work! And that jeep sounds great!
All I can say is you simply amaze me? And just so you know you have inspired me I’m not a mechanic at all. I know how to do. Simple stuff change oil stuff like that just your basic stuff but I have a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe and I needed to change out my idler pulley and my belt tensioner and put a new belt on it. I was gonna let somebody else do it, but I got to look at it and I said what would Matt do, and I told myself, Matt would just get in there and do it and that’s what I done. I’m super proud of myself which I know that don’t sound like much to anybody like a mechanic but for me that’s abnormal thank you Matt for inspiring me. I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Tiny Houston MS
Your once again in your element with making old things run again. I really hope you rebuild this to look close to new again. It seems to have that capability from the looks of it. Not a total rust bucket and minimal fender damage... Thumbs Up!
The good news is you got the front 1/2 of the engine/compartment steam cleaned!
Love watching your videos! Look forward to every one.
Matt, I love your videos, thank you for the time, effort and enthusiasm you put into them. Your Jeep project has been fun to watch.
Love the Wolf Creek Pass reference at the end!
These are the vids that hooked me in the first place. Bringing these beauty's to life is awesome Matt. Great work as always👍
I have been waiting to see another installment on the Jeep rescue. I am happy to see the old lady up and about after setting in the dark for so long. You definitely have some mad skills and a large barrel of good luck. 👍👍👍
Great video Matt. I love watching all your videos, but this one was special. I restored a 1958 Jeep CJ3B ‘ barn find’ back to showroom condition and this brings back the great feeling of accomplishment I felt, as it gradually came back to life. Can’t wait for future instalments of your work on the old girl. 👍
Love that wolf creek pass reference. Kinda like stepping on a plum. 😂😂😂
Cool to see the old CJ back up and running and driving and she sounds good. Like the new pick up in the background as well. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next. Thanks for sharing this with us take care
Edited it’s a shame it needs a head gasket but I’m sure it will be worth it
thats the fun of it once a jeeper always a jeeper.................add a gm HEI and a 10si alternator and you got a winner
It would be awesome to throw one of the many Kubota diesel engines you have laying around in that and have a sweet little rig!
A stuck thermostat will for sure on those old jeeps. Awesome man you got it running again though for sure ya buddy. That's what I'm talking about right there to.
That moment of victory when you throttle it up for the first time.
Priceless!
Even though I've watched the previous Jeep video, I'm going to go back for a refresher, and double my enjoyment at the same time. 😁
those skinny tires look very good and probably period correct-ish. Would be nice to see more of it in future video's!
Those skinny , aggressive treads will drag you through almost anything. Clear up to a 300 dollar tow job.
Yeah, they suit it just fine. Wouldn't want a lot more rubber than that on account of the modest power available.
Great job, Matt!! So much fun working on old equipment!!
Matt, awesome video as always. Love your patience and positive attitude!
Great job Matt, love the old stuff coming back to life.
I completely forgot about this, I can't believe you waited so long to dig into it! I love these Jeeps, I want to get a CJ-3A sometime soon. I think the tires will serve you well, you can cut into anything!
Hey Matt, I sure enjoy your channel. You keep it real and that's what makes it so good to watch. I have many projects myself that I'm working on, some are taking along time to finish, but always with a plan like you. Glad to learn that the big shop is going up. Looking forward to seeing videos on the build.
It’s going up now
Love your channel! It doesn't seem to matter what project on which you take us along, you always make it interesting, you explain things well, and your enthusiasm and sheer joy at success are worth the ride! Looking forward to the next installment of "This Old Jeep"... Thanks, Matt!
Well written!
Yeah! Keep up the good work Matt. It'll pay-off in the end!🤠
Matt, i had been wanting to know what happened to the Jeep . Glad to see she is still alive. As usual a great job. I still believe you could make a rock start up and run .
awsome! i love jeeps, mainly old heeps (yes heeps) learned stick at the age of like 13 or 14 on dads 66 cj7 painted with the military m38a1 livery. grandpa bought that jeep back in 71, it was tree bark brown a 1965 color, so withbthat brown we named it toad. at sompoint he totaled it. sat for yesrs in the back yard and when my dad turned 16 he wanted a jeep so they fixed it up, had the frame straightend. dad got thru colledge, it sat in the feild in grandpas back yard again, grandpa took the top off so it doesnt get ruined. 10 or 15 years later grandpa dragged it out, got it running , gave it back to dad who fixed it up with my older bro, they painted it the military color. dads also got a 77 cj7 his brothers firsr jeep. grandpas and grandmas jeep was the "new one" they bought with 800 miles on it , the 81 cj7 sherwood green, nutmeg hardtop and interior(frog), stripped bare bone jeep but has wierd options like fog lights, ski rack, bronze window tint ect. its been passed around the family but since then its mine now, its been well used, mechanically its not the same jeep but i dont care, the memories of riding in the back of that are still there behind the body armor, winch, and light bars amd trash ive put on it to modernize it. i daily it to this day, though now that its v8 swapped frog has a much louder croak, its bullfrog now. jeeps are a addiction, im 19 have my 81 cj and have 2 other prodject jeeps a 78 and a 1982, but both those have crappy fiberglass bodys which are kinda floppy and need lots of fabrication. jeeps its a helluva drug
The joy of working on old stuff no ECM or environmental stuff to worry about.
oh man what a treat of an episode!
nothing like the love over a jeep!
thanks for bringing that sweet sweet ride back to life! wish I'd be lucky as you to get my hands on one!!
New truck Matt great job with the jeep
I learned to drive on my grandpas 51 wilys the sound of the engine brings back memories
Awesome project Matt. This one should be fun this. Jeep On !!
Probably one of favorite projects of yours in a while.
This jeep has so much fun lying there, ready to be restaurated and brought back.
This thing has a good sound and a good style!
I would love it to see it running on the road again :D
(Sorry for being selfish on this one. Take it as weird way to express my enthusiasm about this project)
Matt you once again did not disappoint in getting the old girl running again, and with some issues to address, hopefully nothing TOO major like a cracked block. Looking forward for the video on this blue CJ5 jeep!
Glad to see this back on the rotation!
I'm so glad you're mindful of what you put on/in the world! Thanks for being eco friendly :) also, my 2 year old son Reuben absolutely loves your videos! "More Matt" is a common phrase in my household! He's your biggest little fan!
Finally. Ive been looking forward to seeing another vid about the jeep since the first one.
Love the way Matt reacts when an engine runs, @mustie1 is just as enthusiastic.
Always makes me smile.
Great job Matt. I can’t decide what I like most, the gas tank or the seat cover. Thanks for the fun video.
Those tires look great, excellent choice. I have fond memories of my Dad’s 70 something Ford camper special truck with tires like that. I have a 1952 M38 Jeep that’s been endless fun. These old Jeeps are almost intoxicating.
Everything you do is so exciting. "I think the fourth cylinder just kicked in." Keep up the excellent video.
Fantastic work Matt, I was wondering like many others when you would get around to Jeep. Another vintage machine brought back from the dead, a bit of carb work new gaskets and a new rubber and she lives! They certainly knew how to build them well back in the day. 👍👌
Hi Steve how are you doing 😊
Stoked to see the jeep back on the channel! looking forward to following the project!
With your explanation, I finally got what "the rings loosening up" really means.
I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I wait with anticipation just like a little kid for your next video. Keep them coming. I've learned so much about repair and mechanics just by watching you work. Thank you so much, you make this old man happy.
Thank you! I’ve been waiting to see more on the old Jeep and once again Matt you never disappoint keep up the great work and video content
Really like your "barn" setup there with the roof betwixt two containers. That's slick.
I absolutely loved watching you breath some life back into this old Jeep. I'm gonna be hanging on a hook until the next installment.
Many many thanks.
David in the UK.
Nicely done young man! Always enjoy the ride along. Never weaken.
Love the old Jeep! And nice dually I saw in the background.
Love how original it is too! Might need a seat cushion down the road 😎
A happy Jeep. In the Army, the Jeeps were very reliable and easy to fix. The Army traded it in for a shoebox called a HUMVEE. I know you got one of them too but the Jeep was the most useful vehicle ever made for Army use. What they have now is a joke. One vehicle looks like a mini-bus with no doors. Some shifted rough from use and many drivers, So we just said grind them till you find them when shifting.
Love the C W McCall reference, Sorta like steppin' on a plum!
Yours has become one of my favorite channels Matt, you never disappoint.
