My Grandfather, Thomas Jenkins, was born in Maysville, OK, in 1905. He worked for the Chikasaw Lumber company for years. Makes me wonder- If thats the old truck, he wore Grooves on the road between Chickasha, to Pauls Valley, and south to Winniwood( however its spelled), in?? He used to talk about his work there, and his deliveries. He retired, in Sacramento CA. as a Cabinet maker, and trim man, in the 60's.. He passed away in 1983. I miss that man, and his Stories.
That is a very neat story! My paternal grandfather who was a machinist/mechanic. He told stories about needing only an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver to work on Model Ts. My other grandfather worked at the Buffalo Bolt Company. He ran a machine that formed bolt heads. He had an assistant heat the bolts red hot and Grandpa did the rest. I'm proud of my ancestry.
Wynnewood, Ok. My trucking company hauled jet fuel out of that refinery for the last 16 years. I personally hauled loads out of there from 2003 to 2011.
I doubt anyone wore grooves in the road with it considering it only had like 40k miles on it. I drive that much in one year for my job as a construction manager. seriously last year 41,000 miles this year looking like will be even more. Glad they dont make trucks like they used to because id need a new truck every year! my tundra has 400,850 miles on it as of today and still running and driving perfect. I have changed out the starter a few times and the radiator one time. tires and oil. thats it....
@@AsTheWheelsTurn a dirt road in 1930 absolutely would have tire grooves, especially thanks to those thin tires (its also a figure of speech). And a Tundra, though not as good as a Hilux, certainly do last....coz Toyota! I had a '92 2x4 diesel Hilux that I put 300 000kms on ,after I bought it at nearly 200 000kms, and I only changed the tires (didn't even change the timing belt like you're supposed to ever 100k lol). That was the best, most reliable and awesome little ute I've ever owned....best car I ever owned full stop lol.
Once upon a time there was a man who relied on this very truck to feed his family. This truck paid his bills and made it possible to buy Christmas for his wife and his kids. He was so very happy when he drove it home from the dealership, yet praying he would be able to make the payments and He worked his ass off to make sure he could keep it. He went home everyday tired and sweaty and kissed his wife and hugged his kids. This man is long gone, yet his truck still survives. I am so happy that You made his dream and livelihood run again.
I’m a United States marine, just finished bootcamp and I’m a Vehicle mechanic and it’s all because of this man’s videos! His videos made me realize how much I love repairing shit

That ol corn binder runs surprisingly smooth and the body isn't that bad. From this point it should be a fairly easy restoration and is definitely worth the effort, time, and money to restore the rest of the way.
Brother Jennings here practices the automotive equivalent of necromancy. He drags a corpse (a rusty old car) from its grave (forest or field) chants in arcane language (Southern accent) applies magical potions (PB Blaster and Mystery Oil) burns incense (sets engine on fire) and harnesses the power of lightning (car battery) to bring it to life
This guy is the real deal. I have learned a lot and he confirms many solutions to problems I have encountered and solved. I am a retired electronics technician Vietnam US Army and Navy veteran. Restoring and restomod vehicles is my hobby now that I am retired and have the time. Bravo! Carry on rescuing and preserving these historical vehicles. Keep up the good work and continue sharing your knowledge.
I love this truck. The old graphic on the door just gives it character. It has a really cool look to it. This was a great save, and she ran fantastic. I am normally not a fan of patina, but beyond fixing everything that can be fixed to make it safe and comfortable to drive, I wouldn't touch this truck cosmetically. I love it like it is.
Great old truck, much better an awesome work truck than a flower pot👍 Looking forward to part 2 of this one for sure! Merry Christmas to you and yours, hope it's all you want it to be 🎄
Great video like all your others. Great grandpa bought then started making in different sizes a tool for cutting around the studs on flatheads. They resembled a bare spark plug body with a piece of sheet steel that he brazed around the body of the tool then sharpened with a file to cut the rust and carbon garbage around the head studs. Only used them a few times when I was a kid but they sure are handy. Grandpa said that was one of his jobs at the garage after school along with cleaning up around the shop. Also one of my jobs along with annealing head gaskets, grinding valves and seats, and lapping in valves. Kinda miss that stuff from time to time but just watching videos like this are close enough… and it doesn’t cause as many mashed fingers or busted knuckles. Doin a great job with the channel and the projects. 👍
I hope you restore all of these and have a museum or something. These antique cars and trucks these days are so rare. They’ve all been chopped up and turned into rat rods. A real sin imo, these things are as close as you can get to time travel
When I watch your videos, it takes me back 50+ years to my teens. I grew up on a fairly large cattle and sheep ranch in the mountains of New Mexico. My grandfather (Ira 1889-1981) and grandmother (Nora 1892/3 -1987) homesteaded then purchased and traded with others who did the same eventually growing the ranch to about 12 sections of land. Grandpa pretty much relied on horses and wagons until the 1930’s. Roads were two ruts created by wagons and model T’s etc. Two good horses could out pull any vehicle of that era in terms of weight and cost. But from the 1930’s onward trucks and cars began displacing horses for everything except working with livestock. One of the trucks handed down to my dad was a 1.25 ton Ford truck with a flat head V-8. It was a 4x4 and had a two speed box that made the truck have a total of 8 speeds. Shifting was accomplished by listening to the RPM and know just the right moment to shift without gears grinding as there were no synchronizers in the manual transmission. I had a love hate relationship with the old truck. Two hours behind the wheel and your body would feel as if it had been assaulted. The only springs that actually smoothed out the ride were those in the 3 person bench seat. Even in the 1960’s it was difficult to find parts. I wish I could save all these old vehicles.
People who take time to restore rust buckets to make them drivable again will always have a place in my heart. So many old mules would be useful for budget constrained families or small businesses. Vintage touch as cherry on top. 💙
I have a 1936 c-1, first year international stared using hydraulic brakes, last year of this body style. Very beautiful trucks, ran up and down a mountain every day for the last guys commute from 1960 to 1980. Runs and still goes into gear.
Definitely the best "old start" channel on youtube. It would be nice, however, to see some these trucks truly fixed back up into a work-able state as I prefer well paced repair videos almost more than the first start.
Same here. I like how you chose the word fixed rather than restored. In my opinion some of the "depression era" trucks are far more interesting to look at when decades of repairs are left alone. Provided they're safe of course. I would watch videos of this truck being fixed up enough to be returned back to service.
I stumbled on this guy's videos and it makes me very happy to see him taking these long unloved vehichles and bringing them back to life. My uncle started the enjoyment of working on old cars when I was a young teenager back in the late 80s. I really want to find myself something like this to tinker with and fix up for a project. Keep up the good work. And I love the guy's accent. I grew up in Maryland but have been in Australia for the past 20 years. Makes me a little homesick.
Love that old truck already. Love that lumber company on the door. Gotta leave that. Dang ya'll the kind of good ol boys we need more of. Really know your business. Im new here not far away ,Alabama.
I'm not a mechanic but I am an Appliance Technician. One of the things we use all the time is an automotive steamer. They are about $50 at Walmart. Might be useful when you are cleaning around the spark plugs and other tight spots. You would need a source of 120V power to run the steamer. It's high Pressure Steam. Anyway just a suggestion that might help out. Thanks for all of your videos! Love the content!
I really liked this video. I have a 37 IHC 1.5 ton Engine is free and I'm going to restore her. She is complete except one trim strip under the jocky box the jack and the hand/elecrtic turn signal. The lever is there. Enjoy your content and the way you wirk and talk us thru the job.
I gotta give you credit for the effort you spend finding this old stuff, and then getting them running . It's not often you take a whoopin from these old machines ! This is a great old truck
That truck is so cool looking. There's a guy down the road from me with a super straight 53 Willys pickup that they filled the bed with flower pots and flowers for yard art and it pains me to see it because I'm sure it would be a great truck with very little effort, and I really like that style of them. Glad you saved this one.
My first vehicle was a running 52 Willys off a used car lot in Reno in 1975 for $ 750 bucks and drove it home. Didn't have original 4 banger or six been swapped out with a newer 70's 4cylinder ran ok but since it didn't have old school engine to keep original I decided to do a frame off using a 76 Chevy 1/2 ton running gear ,leaf's axles,a $ 50 basket case 307 motor w/fuely heads ,had it machined board,stroked,RV cam etc.hot rod shop of coarse made new spring mounts to fit old frame Advance Adaptor motor mounts ,welded molded all holes in frame added tube cross frame, 12v wiring, Mustang gas tank under bed undercoated the cab and brazed fender cracks no wire welder them days new weather striping for door glass etc.etc. all that ended up selling it to start a fur farm business but bought a 56 Willys pu all original with straight 6 hurricane motor, pto, winch, running gear, original dash also thanks you for your channel and letting me blab a minute and inspiring me some more ...looks like I'm going to town and get some rust loosen upper liquidy kinda stuff thanks from N.Nv.
This guys is awesome, very educational for the history and mechanical side and helpful as I like to get things running also keep the shows coming and would like to see continued progress on previous projects. Great stuff!
This is one of the best will it run/mechanical/old vehicles channels on youtube. Thank you for posting. I hope you or someone will take all these old vehicles and restore them as best as possible and preserves them for future generations.
Love your channel! Thanks for your skills, patience, and perseverance, showing us what is possible in breathing life back into these rigs from a by-gone era. I recently traded a 50-year-old 80-hp diesel-powered pressure-washer for a very similar 1936 International complete cab-and-chassis 1/2 ton model; and let a younger and more ambitious and capable friend talk me out of it for the $500 that I had invested in the pressure washer. He needs to see your video...
Thank you for this video..warts and all. Inspirational for an amateur because you show us where you get it right first time..and where you get it right after some attempts. Thanks you. JB, Scotland
I like this Chanel . You are real , no fake crap, just honest work. Reminds me of Of vice grip garage years ago before he ruined it. Stay pure my friend. Best wishes and Merry Christmas.
JMS,, MY SON MAX 8 YR.S OLD JUST FINDS YOUR VIDEOS A TEACHING MODEL FOR HIS AGE ,, WE ENJOY SEEING YOU GETTING ALL THESE OLD GIRLS GOING ,, MAX SAYS THANKS ..MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!! I AGREE... WE LOVE CARS AND HAVE A 1978 BUICK AND MAX AND I WENT TO A CAR SHOW AND A 1958 DODGE CUSTOM ROYALE ,,SWEEP WINGS WAS FOR SALE ,,AND WE COULDNT LEAVE WITH OUT BUYING IT MAX BEGGED ME AND TEARED UP SO THIS GREAT CAR,, WE GO TO CAR SHOWS WITH IT AND HE WASHES IT ITS HIS CAR HE DRIVES IT IN THE EMPTY PARKING LOTS , HE LIKES THE MEAN GRILL AND THE BIG BACK WINGS... THANKS,.....BEST VIDEOS.. WE LIKE THE OLD NAME ON THE DOORS CHICKASAW LUMBER CO.
I worked for a man who’s dad was the owner of Chickasaw lumber company in ft Worth Texas and they man always treated me with respect and I gave him a honest days work for almost 35 years. Of course I’m retired now and really enjoy Jennings Motor sports and admire his knowledge on these old motors
A great way to get broken bolts to back out is to drill a hole in the top then take a torx bit one size bigger and pound it in the hole and then back it out. Hasn't failed me yet 👍
There's a trick that we carpenters use that would have helped to get that head off. Folding wedges, we call them here in the UK. Once you've got a bit of a gap put a wedge in front and back. Tap in another wedge on top in the other direction. A little gentle hammering will lift the head off nice and square. Hope that helps somebody. Well done, young Jennings, your channel is inspirational. All those wonderful old, (properly old), trucks brought back to life. And this one is fabulous with the original sign writing... 2 years younger than my old mum, who's a dang sight fitter than I am... Go to the top of the class. 🇬🇧👍
In my collection of "stuff" I have several wedges of wood made from various lengths of 2x4. You pry up and stick in a wedge, then do it on the other end... repeat as necessary.... back and forth.... side to side.
Great stuff, I had seen this one before, but I knew it was worth watching again. I still appreciate your skill, knowledge,and attention to detail, that gets all this old stuff back up and running. 10/10, from Richard in Worthing, South Coast of the UK 👍👍👍👌
Phone 88! That should confuse the young fellas. Have any of you used a party line? I remember black and white tvs and talking to Grandma on the party line. Worst part was calling yer girl and hoping Dad never answered the phone…..
I just rewatched this video and am glad I did. I have a 37 IHC 1 1/2 ton and this helps. She's not stuck tho. My 42 jeep I pulled the head cause she's stuck hard. No rust, ridges or pitting. Finally got er turnnin with a maple limb drift and an 8 lb sledge. Now I got kindling for the stove. Thanks for your fine channel.
Love it! Always amazes me when a vehicle that old can get resurrected lilke that. I enjoyed watch the step by step, and seeing how you worked through the problems that came up. Thanks for sharing!
los mecanicos de esa epoca ,untaban las juntas con grasa de lubricacion eran reutilizables y anulaban pequeñas perdidas de agua como la que se ve al final del trabajo ,lo se ,trabaje con algunos de ellos ,saludos desde uruguay
Dude, you do some awesome work! Very impressive how you get these cool old rigs running again after so many years. As a mechanic myself for the last 40 years or so, my hat is off to you, Sir!
It's always great to see you bring an old classic back to life. It sounds remarkably well, and I'm sure you'll get it to move under its own power once again. Keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
Soaking the truck in a pool of PB blaster literally solves every problem you had on this relic. Rust, gone. Stuck bolts, gone. Stuck plugs, gone. Loose ignition wiring, gone. PB Blaster also inflates the tires and replaces corroded hose connections. The stuff is amazing.
The US has no MOT system like we have in the uk, probabaly would never be able to get that to use in this country l, and it's probabaly why we don't see anything interesting here any more
I had to google that to see what you meant and we are lucky we don’t have that in Arkansas some states have it but most old old vehicles are exempt from it Arkansas has no inspections and most of the police don’t car what’s on the road as long as you aren’t speeding 😂
Arkansas is full of these old trucks, and I know that for a fact!!!! My cousin gave me a 1959 Apache that I have nearly completed the restoration on. I know where a huge mess of the old trucks are, and many are on peoples lands that we know in our family.
I have a 1936 Austin 7 (Ruby) which is MOT exempt as are a lot of early cars which you see on the UK roads. It is posable to do this sort of revival here in the UK and get old vehicles back on the road. An original valid registration is required and insurance of course.
Howdyyawl from the land down under. 71 years young. Looks like a nice old truck, when steel meant something. A lot of T L C & it'll be like new. Wave your wand & work your magic. Hope to see it all dolled up in a latter video😊
This channel is so much fun! Love every video in here! Is great having a look inside all those ancient beauties and when they fire up sounds fucking awesome!!!
My Grandfather, Thomas Jenkins, was born in Maysville, OK, in 1905. He worked for the Chikasaw Lumber company for years.
Makes me wonder- If thats the old truck, he wore Grooves on the road between Chickasha, to Pauls Valley, and south to Winniwood( however its spelled), in?? He used to talk about his work there, and his deliveries.
He retired, in Sacramento CA. as a Cabinet maker, and trim man, in the 60's.. He passed away in 1983. I miss that man, and his Stories.
Its a good chance that he drove that very vehicle. That's awesome!
That is a very neat story! My paternal grandfather who was a machinist/mechanic. He told stories about needing only an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver to work on Model Ts. My other grandfather worked at the Buffalo Bolt Company. He ran a machine that formed bolt heads. He had an assistant heat the bolts red hot and Grandpa did the rest. I'm proud of my ancestry.

Nicely said...
😂
No he was a drunken bum and gambled everything away😂😂😂
And the inside of the cab smelled of hot steel and rubber but he ate his lunch in there anyway. A man’s man. A Chad for all seasons, if you will. 💪
On the other hand he may have been a serial killer who got sent to the electric chair, that's why it sat for 70 years.just saying.

Cant believe you get these old beasts running again. Bless you for doing this. Not many with the skills left anymore
I love the simplicity of these old engines and that they were made to be easily maintained and run forever.
Lots of fun watch your miracle work, looking forward to seeing the old girl running again! Thank you.
Man , I love watching your video's. Especially this one. I'm hanging out for part two.
Thank you for this video..warts and all. Inspirational for an amateur because you show us where you get it right first time..and where you get it right after some attempts. Thanks you. JB, Scotland
Amazing. You've made me believe they really do want to live.
That’s a cool truck! I was stoked when it fired up.
I like this Chanel . You are real , no fake crap, just honest work. Reminds me of Of vice grip garage years ago before he ruined it. Stay pure my friend. Best wishes and Merry Christmas.

I worked for a man who’s dad was the owner of Chickasaw lumber company in ft Worth Texas and they man always treated me with respect and I gave him a honest days work for almost 35 years. Of course I’m retired now and really enjoy Jennings Motor sports and admire his knowledge on these old motors
A great way to get broken bolts to back out is to drill a hole in the top then take a torx bit one size bigger and pound it in the hole and then back it out. Hasn't failed me yet 👍
This move is great because if it doesn't work you don't break an extractor in the middle of your bolt.
Great video! Looking forward to an update video!!
That seafoam deep creep is some good stuff. I use it alot to get rusty nuts and bolts loose.
There's a trick that we carpenters use that would have helped to get that head off. Folding wedges, we call them here in the UK. Once you've got a bit of a gap put a wedge in front and back. Tap in another wedge on top in the other direction. A little gentle hammering will lift the head off nice and square. Hope that helps somebody. Well done, young Jennings, your channel is inspirational. All those wonderful old, (properly old), trucks brought back to life. And this one is fabulous with the original sign writing... 2 years younger than my old mum, who's a dang sight fitter than I am... Go to the top of the class. 🇬🇧👍
In my collection of "stuff" I have several wedges of wood made from various lengths of 2x4. You pry up and stick in a wedge, then do it on the other end... repeat as necessary.... back and forth.... side to side.
Still the best car channel on UA-cam
Best automotive channel on UA-cam, bar none!!
You might also consider using a brass drift when hammering on gear teeth such as are on the starter Bendix.
Great stuff, I had seen this one before, but I knew it was worth watching again. I still appreciate your skill, knowledge,and attention to detail, that gets all this old stuff back up and running. 10/10, from Richard in Worthing, South Coast of the UK 👍👍👍👌
"leaks like a screen door on a submarine" is incredible
Professor Marvel gets another one WHIRLING again. Thanks for taking us along. Have a Safe and Merry Christmas.
Phone 88!
That should confuse the young fellas.
Have any of you used a party line?
I remember black and white tvs and talking to Grandma on the party line.
Worst part was calling yer girl and hoping Dad never answered the phone…..
Oh yeah. And you had to stay there to talk wherever the phone was mounted.
Can hardly wait to see more of this truck!
I just rewatched this video and am glad I did. I have a 37 IHC 1 1/2 ton and this helps. She's not stuck tho. My 42 jeep I pulled the head cause she's stuck hard. No rust, ridges or pitting. Finally got er turnnin with a maple limb drift and an 8 lb sledge. Now I got kindling for the stove. Thanks for your fine channel.
May have to re tork the head again after warming it up ! Another great video ! Now what about the All American Racer !!! 🤔😁
always do the easy stuff first!
You're a wizard, sir.
Love it! Always amazes me when a vehicle that old can get resurrected lilke that. I enjoyed watch the step by step, and seeing how you worked through the problems that came up. Thanks for sharing!
Cool truck! Would love to see it in the future.
You my friend are a pleasure to watch and listen to. Great tutorial. Thanks so much,🥰🇺🇲
You are very good at what you do! Keep up with the good work
Trucks been sitting as long as ive been living. Nice to see you bring it back to life. Have a Merry Christmas!!
Cant wait for part 2 brother. This is awesome
A very charming looking Truck... With the right repair and care, it will be right up there!
Absolutely love the videos please keep them coming
Looking forward to seeing it again, Merry Christmas from maine
los mecanicos de esa epoca ,untaban las juntas con grasa de lubricacion eran reutilizables y anulaban pequeñas perdidas de agua como la que se ve al final del trabajo ,lo se ,trabaje con algunos de ellos ,saludos desde uruguay
The old truck whisperer! Looking forward to the followup !
Dude, you do some awesome work! Very impressive how you get these cool old rigs running again after so many years. As a mechanic myself for the last 40 years or so, my hat is off to you, Sir!
I love the way you bring these lovely old machines back around
Soooo much potential with this channel. I love it
Nice rescued old girl. Couldn't believe you got her running. Cheers from eastern TN
It's always great to see you bring an old classic back to life. It sounds remarkably well, and I'm sure you'll get it to move under its own power once again. Keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
You’re the best, Dustin. Always enjoy your videos.
Always hyped when a video of you drops!
Likewise ! Would like to see more !
I seen this truck on facebook marketplace a while back I almost bought it. Glad it went to a good home.
Weird editing on the head removal but great work 😊
Soaking the truck in a pool of PB blaster literally solves every problem you had on this relic. Rust, gone. Stuck bolts, gone. Stuck plugs, gone. Loose ignition wiring, gone. PB Blaster also inflates the tires and replaces corroded hose connections. The stuff is amazing.
The US has no MOT system like we have in the uk, probabaly would never be able to get that to use in this country l, and it's probabaly why we don't see anything interesting here any more
I had to google that to see what you meant and we are lucky we don’t have that in Arkansas some states have it but most old old vehicles are exempt from it Arkansas has no inspections and most of the police don’t car what’s on the road as long as you aren’t speeding 😂
You're lucky! I keep thinking I was born in the wrong country 🤣
Stay safe!
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 I got kinfolk all over Arkansas! Great state, great people!
Arkansas is full of these old trucks, and I know that for a fact!!!! My cousin gave me a 1959 Apache that I have nearly completed the restoration on. I know where a huge mess of the old trucks are, and many are on peoples lands that we know in our family.
I have a 1936 Austin 7 (Ruby) which is MOT exempt as are a lot of early cars which you see on the UK roads. It is posable to do this sort of revival here in the UK and get old vehicles back on the road. An original valid registration is required and insurance of course.
Howdyyawl from the land down under. 71 years young. Looks like a nice old truck, when steel meant something. A lot of T L C & it'll be like new. Wave your wand & work your magic. Hope to see it all dolled up in a latter video😊
Once you get the truck driveable I bet the Chickasaw Lumber Company would like to see it.
are they even around 70 years later?
@@rupe53 I hope so. How cool would it be if they had old photos of the truck with a driver in a filing cabinet?
Its a beauty of a worktruck! Looking forward to part 2…
Good stuff.🆒😎👍! How is the Cuda coming on?
This is more vehicle then I'm used to seeing. Crazy good.
❤a rodar 60 años mas🎉🎉🎉🎉
This channel is so much fun!
Love every video in here!
Is great having a look inside all those ancient beauties and when they fire up sounds fucking awesome!!!
