    That thing looked pretty nice on the interior - made for an easy start. This motor is known as the "big six" in the Studebaker world. First appeared in 1932 or 33 and was used in cars up through 1950 and in trucks up to 1960. While the truck itself might have seen it last days making shadows on the asphalt, that motor still has a lot of miles left in it. Thanks!

    I have a 46 M-5 original survivor. Just took it for a spin with the grandson yesterday. I really like these old trucks. I just need the time to do some minor body repair and paint. Hate to ruin patina but would like to see her looking like new. Has a little surface (I hope) rust around bolt on fenders and pieces. Some bondo from some old repairs but minimal. Bed good and clean and great shape for the year. Flat head purrs like a kitten and still original 6v system.

      It is... I was practically adopted by a Texan dude but I was already 20, i was going down a very bad path because in my home all it was, alcohol , parties and more alcohol , and too much of everything enough to rotten anyone's soul to the core so I ran away from it but I got damaged can't deny that , I was already married ,,,anyways, he had a bunch of land full of cars like those, we made a deal, I fixed them , he'd sell them, , I used to pay him 475 in rent, we did this for over 10 years, then one day his daughter showed up, she's as evil as they come, treated the old man badly to mortify me, because if I took a swing I was done, anyways ,he got very sick, I decided to move back to Pennsylvania, he gave me an envelope, I left, he died 2 mo later I was told by a old lady friend of ours, he died of a broken heart mostly she said, when I open the envelope, it was a check with the 10 years worth of rent, the old man saved my life, not because of the money, but because it gave me the will to live., I was able to get my mechanics lic, but left it as a hobby...

    What a lucky break. I don't think that engine was stuck and the starter eve worked too. Either way you did it, nice work. I have a 1990 Dodge 2 wheel drive pickup with a NP 435 that got stuck in two gears. The shifter comes out of the top and didn't feel right, but the real telltale was whenever I let up on the clutch pedal the engine just stopped. In my case, I cut the floor open and took the top off, repositioned the gears and forks and it was fixed. I was changing seats inside the cab and I believe I bumped the shifter, but I often wondered how it could have gotten stuck in two gears. Any Ideas? ben/ michigan

    • @michaelbenardo5695
      @michaelbenardo5695 Рік тому +2

      It can happen if your shift linkage is not properly adjusted - might be at the Neutral cross-over while still partly in a gear, allowing another gear to be selected at the same time.

    They’re are many different reasons I like this channel,it’s good to see these old vehicles run again. The part that gives me a laugh is all the channels involving revival of old abandoned cars the first thing they say is the carb is bad and we need to rebuild it,this channel he sucks a rats nest out of a sixty year old carb and gets her running! Great channel,keep up the great work.

    Mr Jennings, will you consider doing a video about you and the channel for the members that are new? I think you are an awesome technician!

    Great vid. and great success getting it running. One of these Studebaker,s and several 1940,s Chevys way way out in the bundu in Africa, left over from post war gold mining..That was in Zimbabwe. They,re laying out there pickled in the sun pretty much beaten up and nothing as good as this one,"as new" engine. Smooth and so quiet.
