My dad told me he had 50 Chevrolet car it was 3 on the tree and he moved the shifter like that so he could shift gears while his other arm was around mom.
I've heard that explanation and seems to be the only thing that makes any sense. Folks were pretty romantic back in the day! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just found your channel today.. im a fan for sure!! I really enjoyed watching your video!! Im going to share your videos hope it helps you grow!!
Hey! Appreciate that; We could use all the help we can get! Thanks for watching and commenting and if you see anything we could improve on we'd appreciate the advice. Thanks again!
@@HustlehousePA1978 I gtx
Thanks!
Absolutely cannot do this kind of work with newer vehicles, but cha can with the classics. It still amazes me how robust older quality made parts were back then. Yep, I manually did a rebuild like this 30 yrs ago, and ran like it was new. I ground down by hand, shaved a little here, a little there, used bolts from older machinery, worked like a charm. Up and running in no time again.
Yes sir! I agree. This one is about as hillbilly as we ever got with a rebuild but if we coulda got it runnin I think It woulda been fine. Gonna try again soon; gotta drive this thing!
@@HustlehousePA1978 I’d love to see it. Like your spirit. Well done.
The jazz on the leadin is excellent, my word. And a chev corvette engine in a Ford f100. My word.
Thanks! Appreciate it. Stay tuned; more videos to come on this 56.

hahahaha
The guy got smart when he put a Chevy motor in that Ford truck the guy know what run and wins in races
lol. well this one aint winnin any races anytime soon! Bet it woulda burnt some tire back in the day though! Thanks for stoppin in!
Cool old truck, nice vid!!!
Thanks Buddy! Appreciate it. Was just over on your channel checkin out the old 43 car. Cant get enough of that thing. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Thanks for going into the details on how stuff works, and breaks! I Loved the video of the ‘58!
I’m looking forward to when you get another starter-and add some oil to the cylinders for this one! I’m subbed and waiting ! God bless!
Awesome! Thank you; Yea I’m feelin all kinds of defeat over that 56. Some of those old vehic’s just gotta learn the hard way! Gonna drive that thing one way or the other. Thanks for stopping by and jumpin a board. Appreciate ya!
God Bless!
Nice show sorry you engine Nice Garage 😃👏👏👏👍👍
Thanks! Appreciate ya. Stop back!
thank you guys for rescuing thatt poor truck
Yes sir! Think we got to it a little bit late though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@HustlehousePA1978oh oh>...no happy wife......NO HAPPY LIFE😢😢😢.
you aint a kiddin! lol
That ford is throwing a fit, who put the chevy in me or the other way around
I can't answer that bud but It not running is totally unacceptable! Next time it makes it in the shop its driving out under its own power one way or the other! Stay tuned! Thanks for watching
Don't give up on her, she might be old and stubborn but that love is what a Chevy all about with some TLC
We aint gave up yet. planning on a round 2 with this old boy. Gotta drive it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That would be a great engine for a 1957 cheby bel air convertible to take to the drag strip
shoot... we cant afford a picture of a 57 convertible much less a real one. Those things are pricey! If we did have one though; yea it would be a good fit!
I wish you’d have sounded a little more like Towmater when you said “ Shoot” after beating on that piston with the sledge hammer!!!😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Hahaha. I get made fun of enough around here without tryin to sound like Towmater! lol Nah if I was thinkin' I woulda haha. Thanks for watching and commenting! Appreciate ya!
My uncle, back in the day, was left handed, and switched his ‘46 Ford coupe over to left hand shift, “just because he could”😊
Yea, I spoke to an elderly uncle and he said it wasn't all that uncommon to switch them over back then. First one I've ran across. Thanks for watchin'
Put some oil in the cylinders and if it starts let run to loosen the rings up
Were gonna give that a shot. Gonna have to take a load of scrap in to get another starter first! stay tuned! Appreciate ya watchin and commenting!
That's a good vid bro keep it real I like it you two are my top number one videos and people
Thanks appreciate you watching !! Stop back got more coming
Thanks for another , Brother !
Hey Man thank you for always coming back. Appreciate it!
I've got hot little 390 that would make that thing romp!!! You got to be somebody out there that really wants that engine. Great job on the video. That's a good looking old Ford truck. You can put a little lipstick on the fender😂😂. I can resist you know lipstick on a hog is still lipstick on a hog 🤢. I don't think I drive halfway across the country for that old truck.
Ya that would make it runner lol
Idk anyone that would want that engine ha ha no one. It’s one of our favorite trucks and got hopes to fix more of it, just gotta do what’s best for the channel at the moment We will be back on this year doing something fancy with it.
@HustlehousePA1978 nobody wants to 390 engine? Or the engine in the truck already? If I did use my ticket for the inauguration I've been more happy stopped by and pick up that warrant out engine of yours. I'm not a real fan of the 390. You know either go small or go large but that's in the middle. We used to take the 4.6 and basically use the whole front frame out of the crown vics and stick them underneath these trucks. Didn't look too fancy buf they sure ran great. Just a thought.
We like em all actually just have a bad taste in our mouth over this 265 in it. Gave me Popeye elbow and still never barked off!
@HustlehousePA1978 you're a stronger man than I. You ever watch collector on the corner in Arkansas? He's got a little 55 down there that 265 would be perfect. I just passed through the pretty recently stopped and said hi. I'm not talking about his two-door wagon 55 the other 55 is what I'm talking about. That go good in my car I got 55 four-door. Any case we'll see what you do with your old truck over the summer I think is when you said you'd get to it.
yea its gonna be a while. I do have the itch to gas it around.. Elbow is still healing though! lol
I like the Mopars you have and the 56 F100.
Thanks! Keep stopping back because we have tons of Mopar content coming as well as another 56 F100. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate ya!
I'm a Mopar guy 65 Barracuda.
Yea now were talkin. Bout the lightest Mopar made back in the day. Liked the fold down seats and stuff!
I'm halfway in now and Lolin' Out Loud for reals like your son! WTPhuck?! I was gonna say "Hey, hey hey! beat on those valves with a block of hardwood or somethin'" But now?! have at it I guess. I have NEVER seen a oil-pump pickup with so much Pig Slop in it in my Longer-Than-Your-Life. Oh my Gawd! What a motor. 10 outta 10. I haven't laughed so hard in years. Keep 'em comin' Hustle House!
Hahaha I was waiting for a lock and retainer to fly off and take an eye out! Hey it smelled as bad as it looked in that oil pan. Real surprised we didn't get some kinda infection from rolling around in that sludge for all those days. We aint done though buddy... Wanted one of these trucks for too long...I gotta drive this junker! lol Thanks again!
@@HustlehousePA1978 My favorite is the Driveer's door-skin! Lolin'
haha when we were hauling that truck home I had to stop and ratchet strap the door skin down. Thought it was gonna blow clean off! haha no kiddin. Its roooough!
Nice video
Glad you enjoys it man it sure gave me a run for my money, stubborn lol not done with it just yet haha
Gonna try it again lol thanks for watching man appreciate ya.
Hi guys I hope this comment finds ya'll doing just fine. Don't know what that fellow was thinking when he put a Corvette engine in a Ford truck. Oh I'm sorry you guys are for guys, I apologize 🙏 please forgive me. But I love you all anyhow, I told you guys I'd follow along on your videos and I'm keeping that promise. Anyhow I just wanted to wish you all many blessings and just to say howdy.
Yea buddy always good to hear from ya and you did say that so were holdin you to it! lol jk. Technically I'm a Mopar Dude myself but like them all. Just happen-stance that were doing a bunch of Ford content at the moment. We hope to have something for everybody. Thanks for stopping back..Appreciate ya!
@@HustlehousePA1978 yeah I'm a Mopar dude from way back.
@@josephdangelo1503Mopar fans keep smiling-you have Stellantis (Fiat for Ram guys)to back you
Hey well take all the help we can get! Anyway were a pre 90's crowd around here! lol. Thanks for watching!
@@HustlehousePA1978think of keeping the 56. On life support. A tru transplant wood be the crown Vic front end. And a 351 engine late model, heck buy the whole car you get front discs. Independent front suspension 😊
A beautiful F100 from Australia 🦘
Thank ya! Its a rough one but I just gotta drive it. Keep an eye out for this one and the 58. Both will be back soon. Thanks for watching. Appreciate ya!
Good luck with that truck.I hope you dont give up on it.Make it a Ford again.
Well. We aint gave up on it yet. It will be back. Cant promise what it will be powered by though! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Liked that one much better bro
Appreciate it
Some of those old oil cans and beer cans can be worth some money
Is that right? The wife already has those babies cleaned up and on display in the garage. Funny how the little things can take you back huh? We stopped by and subscribed. Thanks for watching!
Nice GTX!!!
Thanks! Its really not as nice as it looks on camera but its cool to slap around, we will have some content on it soon too. Appreciate ya!
All that paint will buff right out no problem
it's a gonna have to! Aint nothin left under the mattress for no paint job! lol Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here. My first vehicle was a '55 F-100. There was no engine in it when I bought it, so I put a 430 Lincoln in it. I loved that truck!!!! It was the coolest and I kick myself in the ass every day for selling it!!!! That was 50 years ago. Did you try filling the cylinders with oil or ATF to build compression, then try firing it?
Hey, now that's a cool first vehicle.. Mine was a Datsun B210 But my first FORD was a 55 F100 with a Y block. It was pretty rough but was good enough to pull holeshots in! Bet that thing got it pretty good with that Lincoln under the hood. We had atf in the cylinders when we first put it together and it did bark a time or two when it was 180 out. Woulda had better luck if we put more in it but by time we got done fiddlin around tryin other stuff the starter was gone. We will have it back on the channel before long. I gotta drive this thing! Thanks for watching and subscribing. Appreciate ya!
Okay now, "For Sale, Newly Gone Through CORVETTE Motor, $900.00 Firm"
Heck yea! Already had the patented craigslist paint job! Nah it aint for sale yet... the world is gonna hear "Old Red" runnin before ya know it.😉 Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@HustlehousePA1978 It's MY pleasure, believe me!
Looks like a Mopar or Studbaker rear end…yikes
Yea it does, has a funky bolt pattern too. Don't have any rollers to fit and one of the wheels is rotted too bad to put a tire on!
It’s yard art,bring back the ‘58.Use the ‘56 for bill board advertising for your UA-cam channel.
You read our minds! We have the perfect spot out front of the garage for it too. May just do that but were gonna give this old boy one more shot in the near future.. The 58 is up in the next couple weeks though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Would a splash oil in the cylinders be enough to fire for a bit to slap those other rings into shape?
Yea buddy! were tryin to get us another starter lined up and were gonna give her a try! Hope so, I gotta drive this thing! Thanks for watching!
I really like I had a 56 ford f100 with a 292 V8 I love truck .
Thanks! Yea, I don't think they made a cooler truck in the 50's than these F100's. Spoiler alert: We have more content coming on this 56 and ANOTHER 56 f100 too. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ive been thru this already and they're my favorite Trucks.😑
Yes sir! Mine too. Hope to get us a nice one someday. Thanks for watching!
👍
Thank you! Checked out your channel and subscribed!
If it won't run up another engine in it that's a sweet old truck you can't give up on her put a nother heart ❤️ in her she must live and drive again 🙏 place for all the Chevy brother don't late it did and put it on the back shelf
Man after my own heart. Wanted one of these trucks so long that theres no way its not onna get driven. Stay tuned.. Thanks for watching!
Good for a boat anchor ⚓
lol yea aint much left of this old boy. Just didnt have the heart to scrap it.. yet lol. Thanks for watching!
How do you two not have more subscribers?
Well they're slow comin' but were super thankful for the subscribers we do have! Especially when they comment and let us know if were on the right track or not. Appreciate ya buddy!
putting a bit of oil in each cylinder will up the compression
were gonna give that a shot soon. Just gotta round up another starter. I kinda thing it will fire! Appreciate ya watchin and commenting!
I've seen other people use transmission fluid and it was better at building compression
Good to know, I'd like to see a video on which oil would do better in this situation. We would film one ourselves but oils EXPENSIVE!! Most likely pump some outta the barrel of used crude in the corner! lol.. I figure anything would work but something that would burn slower may work better. You got me curious though. Have to look into the trans fluid theory. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have an equally crappy 56 F250. It has that same seat with the tan and brown pattern under the blue seat cover.
Equally crappy!? I thought this thing was was on a crappiness level of its own! Man thats crazy. I dig that seat though, got that 50's vibe going on. Takes ya back lookin at it. Appreciate ya watchin and commenting.
Well, I should start by getting rid of that junk and put the forward motor in it like it ordered be
Heck. Im about to put a briggs and stratton in it just so I can drive it! lol. Thanks for watching!
It's a lever her right there
Wish you woulda told me that before we drug it home! lol. Nah we been enjoying fixin on this old thing. Thanks for watching and commenting!
265 is a cool my buddy had one it didn't even have a oil filter from the factory the early ones didn't have oil filters how goofy is that have a great day I'll watch the rest of the video thanks I don't care what kind of car it is if it's cool I like it
No filter!? Man that's crazy! First time I heard that. Well by the looks of this oil it couldn't have looked any worse if it had no filter at all lol. Thats how we are too. We like them all! Just better luck with some more than others it seems.
I wish I had it
Trust me, Part of me wishes anyone but me ad it! lol. Nah jk. Not done bustin' nuckles on it yet! Thanks for watchin'
You failed is not any good haha having fun 380 how to work on a Chevy❤❤❤😂😂
Well were no stranger to failing with these junkers! lol. Hey we're not quitters though. That old truck is coming back in the garage soon! Thanks for watching!
wow
I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad wow but thanks for watching appreciate it !!
Put some thick oil down each cylinder and a different starter
read my mind! Yea it will be back soon, gonna try that and if it wont run were probably gonna do a quick re ring. Just gotta drive this thing. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Put A FORD Engine In That Ol' Ford F100 .... He'll Sing Like A Bird 🐦
haha I would like to mess with a Y block with multi carbs and some ram horn manifolds... Big fan of all that 50's hotrod stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting!
My buddy has a '56 that someone popped in a 351 Windsor with a tranny that wouldn't stay in park, yikes, that I towed home with my '70 Roadrunner. He still has his 42 years later, NO I don't have mine, grrrrrr. I donated a Police-style spotlight for it that I "borrowed" off of my brother's ambulance! Lolin' out loud.
Man.. That woulda made a good video!! haha. Hey never too late to grab up another RoadRunner... just sayin! Thanks again!
I got one word for ya: Windsor
Yea Buddy, now were talkin! If I wasn't so broke it mighta just happened! lol.
I want the old Ford 🙏 please
hahaha thought we did too. Nah it will be back on the channel soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Isn't that GM'S first V 8. Engine I SEEN somewhere the 265 was GM 'S V8 that one did get you LOL
You aint kiddin it got me! Not for long though, gonna wrastle it again real soon. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
Nice try guys. :)
Thanks! We're not done with this one though! Thanks for watching!
It just needs a couple of tires then road ready
yea buddy, problem is the rims are rotted out! lol We aint done with this old Boy yet. Stay tuned!
I want to go back with a Ford engine😊
Hey!! How about a Hemi in that old F100!? lol.
It'll have compression over night as much as you cranked on it
hope so, we're gonna try again with some oil in the cylinders. probably gonna burn a couple more starters up gettin it goin. Thanks for watching and stop back!
I have a 1956 Ford Fairlane that I have a 350 Chevrolet motor and transmission in
Cool just checked it out and subscribed. Be a good car to build a channel around! Thans for watching and subscribing!
I would keep it and put a Ford engine in it and sell the Chevy to someone who is doing a restoration on a 55 Chevy those block are getting harder to find the 265 was only a one year engine and if you look at it you can see there are no mount holes on the sides of the engine which changed in 57 when Chevy went to the 283 so the block would be valuable to someone doing a restoration
Thanks! Never knew that. Heck man, I'd give it to someone who really needs one once we are done with it. We been keeping our eyes open for a good deal on a y block. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
24 volts!! Works for Sleeperdude
O thought it was gonna do the trick. Spun it over pretty good until it didn't! Starter wasnt havin' it! Oh well. Once I get done lickin' my wounds I'm gonna give "OldRed" another go-round. Thanks for watchin and subscribin! Appreciate ya!
Got any 1961 Cadillacs 62 series with good body parts for a 4 door hardtop Cadillac
No sorry. Our local junkyard doesn’t have any either. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
Chevrolet Chevrolet push it awhile and let it sit
Hahaha well I'm done pushin this junker! Its gonna run next time or that bowtie is gettin plucked outta there!
He he. I like your style although it’s totally wrong. He he. Entertainment

no were not far from wv though. Were at 15431 if ya wanna google it.
No compression put oil in the cylinders
Yep right on. Ya notice it did fire a time or two when the oil was still in the cylinders; when it was 180 out. We really kinda gave up on it when we found out the clutch was frozen. Good chance that you haven't seen the last of "Old Red". Next time ya see it we will have a good starter and a squirt bottle of lube. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching. Appreciate ya!
It's already sour, it's a Chevy engine in a Ford
Yea I'm like you. I like them all but not much for mix n matching them... I do have a desoto hemi engine in the corner that would fit in it though....lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pipe wrench
Wish we had a massive one! I think she's too far gone unfortunately.. Thanks for watching!
Put some oil in cylinder
Yea Buddy. Ya notice it did fire a time or two when the oil was still in the cylinders. Seein the clutch was frozen kinda did it for us. Next time ya see it we will have a good starter and a some oil. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching. Appreciate it!

Ford with Chevy motor bad choice

I do not know what his Christian name is, but the guy that calls himself the Jayhawker likes to tinker with Chevrolet engines He is a body man who used to have his own shop He still does body work for friends etcetera Have a talk to him ,maybe you and he can work something out He has a channel on You Tube
Thanks; I'll have to check him out. Good idea but we kinda have a plan in motion already. Stay tuned!
Get that Chevy motor out of the ford
Ha ha well I agree, unfortunately for me lol I have a lot of people wanting to see it run and asking about it ha ha so think I’m gonna do just that and then yank it out and maybe put another motor in it depending on how it cooperates with me. So far the truck hates me lol ha ha thanks for dropping by and appreciate you watching. Stop back for up coming video on it we might do something outrageous lol
Cant go wrong with a chevrolet.....fords oh no disaster
We like them all but they all seem to hate us! Just don't get it. Oh well.. Thanks for watching!
I would rather push a ford than drive a chevy thats good for nothing but using it for a boat anchor / I have owned many pos chevy's during my 73 years of life
All vehicles hate me equally lol.
Chev=Fail not in a Ford
I aint a gonna touch that one! lol. I will say I did have thoughts of puttin an old Desoto Hemi in it just so I could take it around the block though! Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate ya!
