Will this 1937 Chevy truck run after 45 years Or setting Abandoned Will it run Will it run after 30 years Will it run after 50 years Will it run after 81 years
She sounds good. I'm impressed with how you are methodical about how you revive the old stuff. It drives me to distraction how some UA-camrs draw it out. Thank you for the good content due to judicious editing.
I’m so impressed with your knowledge and ability to get these old pieces of history running. You inspire me sir to never give up no matter how hard any situation seems !! 👏
I know eventually you’ll get higher quality filming and production but gah damn I love that raw feeling I get watching your videos. There really isn’t any other person that delivers it like you on any platform
Agreed, this dude is awesome. If you like this kind of “will it run“ video, I’d suggest checking out the “mustie1” channel. He does similar kind of resurrections. His videos are a little more in depth than these, but he’s equally amazing!
Nice !! I can not believe how good that engine sounds! Amazing job ! So cool to see these forgotten family members come back to life. Thanks for sharing with us again !! peace
It makes my day when I see these "ole dinosaurs" come back to life. To me, it's almost like these old machines are just resting, waiting for the chance to show their "glory" again. God Bless you Sir. And keep up the good work.
When you hear people say that they don’t build things like they used to, this is exactly what they’re talking about.. let’s see you get your modern car running after it’s been sitting in a field for 50 years with a locked up everything.. never gonna happen.
I have noticed a difference between you and other similar channels. Usually when they see all that rust in the cylinders, they give up instantly. You just keep on working until the thing starts! Great work
Man yeah....Love to see these old classics brought back to life. Too many youtube channels drag out the restart/restoration over many episodes. I like the more straight forward "get'er done" approach. Thank you for posting.
Said it before. I'll say it again. You are a incredibly smart young man. Watching you and your mannerism is amazing. Can't wait for the next 5. Lol 😅 keep up the great work.
Great video! Hydrochloric acid, AKA muriatic acid, works very well to remove rust. It also readily dissolves aluminum, such as pistons. I use it to remove smeared on aluminum from burned pistons in the cylinders of performance 2 cycle engines that use iron sleeves. I believe that year chevy truck used cast iron pistons rather than aluminum.
Gives me hope for my dad's 41 Chevy truck he gave me. Hasn't ran my entire adult life of 37 years. I got bored about 12 years ago and dumped oil down the plug holes and turned it over for a while. Maybe I'll go tinker on it more!
If there is something I've learned frkm watching your videos is to be patient, you can't rush things up. You have the patience of a saint, and eventually get things done.
A little trick I learned years ago is if you have a cylinder that has pits in it you can fill them with 2 part cold weld and it will work just fine. Make sure you fill it flush with the cylinder wall before it sets up and gets hard. It is much easier to build it up than bore it out so do not over fill.
@@kingofsludge7262 Sorry friend but no video but it is simple to do. If it is a small pit use something like a single edge razor blade to fill it with the cold weld. You do NOT want to leave excess putty.
@@kingofsludge7262 It does not work for long, the heat expanding and contracting the cylinder wall will eventually make it go byebye. It's a temporary fix to get by a little while until you get it fixed, you do run a major risk of damaging the rest of the engine if the putty suddenly decides to come lose with a running engine..
@@kingofsludge7262 I used the Car Quest brand and never ever had a problem. I also used it on a Nissan truck head and drove the truck for close to 100,000 miles before a rod started knocking.
If I had a vote I would go for longer, more comprehensive videos. Failing that, just keep on keeping on. 206k subs and you can't be doing much wrong. 11/10 Mr. Jennings. 🇬🇧👍
She has a few teeth thats been knocked outta her, shes missing one eye, the bird nest deluxe package, keys in the ignition, a locked up motor, the hoods falling apart and the dirt dobber deluxe. Sounds like something other then an old vehicle haha
Sounds good! Looks like someone replaced the engine at some point, the old Chevy 216s and 235s had 10 mm "peanut" spark plugs (pre 1948 or 49) AC 104 or 106, and the early carbs were made by Carter. I have a 1942 Chevy one and a half ton i need to unstick, it has an Allis-Chalmers power unit and hammermill mounted on the back, some lady had it put together years ago for going farm to farm to custom grind feed. Not sure what year the GM Rochester carbs were started, I'm thinking 1947. Keep up the great videos!
They didn't go to the 8MM plugs until '41. You're right about the Rochester model B carburetor; 1950 was the first year for them, although Rochester made replacement carburetors for the early engines back to 1932.
I just bought a 1965 Chevy short bed stepside still has the original 235 6 cylinder and three on the tree, she'd been sitting since 1979 motor was locked up as usual and did the normal soak and a little grunting and groaning she came free always fun to work on a classic
This is the America I grew up in. My Daddy would drag something like this out of the woods, get it running and driving, and haul pulpwood till she gave up. I love these videos.
His accent combined with “Deluxe bird nest package up there” completely split my sides.
This guy is a national treasure.
Ya gotta love a guy that's more interested in getting an old truck running than an approaching tornado! 🙂
This guy is a magician
Harry Houdini in disguise.
What’s difficult about it? No magic required.
Air fuel and spark make them all work. No smoke and mirrors needed.

Thank you I try and make it straightforward I had about 10 hours of footage on this one to go through
I’m reading this reply with your accent and voice, i think i have to stop to bingewatch your videos sir 😂
❤❤❤
@@jenningsmotorsports7554❤😊
This man is amazing. Fixing up classics while a tornado passes by haha.
Yeah that sounds like a tornado siren
how many has he fixed tho
gettin' them runnin'
Not sure where in Arkansas he is, but there were definitely tornados
@@NuffMan_ really none, he gets the engine started and moves to the next.
She ran a lot smoother than I would've given it credit to. Great job! Hope you and yours got through Friday okay.
It's amazing that old chevy ran so well considering all the rings were stuck and valves pitted giving it about 0.7:1 compression lol
Thanks! Love your videos sir!
Thank you I very much appreciate

Sounded pretty dang good and the more it ran sounded like it was coming around

I’d be confident enough in a Toyota 4efe but not anything newer
And that's a FACT ! Green ? The only green is the fools who think cars with 15 computers and built in obselesence is good for the planet.
I have noticed a difference between you and other similar channels. Usually when they see all that rust in the cylinders, they give up instantly. You just keep on working until the thing starts! Great work
Yeah, so many "mechanics" just know remove and replace.
It always amazes me that you can get these old neglected treasures running. Much respect. 😊

Wonderful! Old Chevy we drove them for many years. I learned what you do from my Dad.
It always blows my mind how much you refuse to give up on these engines. Can't find this kind of content anywhere else. Keep up the good work!!
Said it before. I'll say it again. You are a incredibly smart young man. Watching you and your mannerism is amazing. Can't wait for the next 5. Lol 😅 keep up the great work.
Dude that is so amazing I can't believe you got that old beat-up engine to run again. You are the man
I really enjoy watching you bring those old motors back to life. You are an inspiration to all backyard mechanics everywhere. Great work 👏 👍
WOW! I can't believe you got that sucker running! Nicely done!!!!

Thank you and Yes it is ruff on aluminum and you are correct lots of the older engines such as this one have tin pistons or cast iron
these engines have real pistons usually cast iron.
Damn! Can’t believe she ran! Well done!
It’s very amazing after all these years these engines still sound new and strong. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us….
I love how great it ran and sounds. Want to see more please.
Great Job Getting the Old Chevy Running!!😎
You videos are therapeutic, never stop doing what you love
I bet you could get the Titanic back up and running too! Man you can fix up anything. Great vid.
After pulling those handfuls of rust scale out of cylinders Im very surprised it had enough compression to fire let alone run! Well done!🇦🇺👍
IT'S ALIVE! Awesome job 👍
Great job getting this badly stuck engine free and running again, love the sound of these old engines 👍
Gives me hope for my dad's 41 Chevy truck he gave me. Hasn't ran my entire adult life of 37 years. I got bored about 12 years ago and dumped oil down the plug holes and turned it over for a while. Maybe I'll go tinker on it more!
The effort you put in on the videos and revives are astounding. I wonder what the bottom of the oil pan looks like
Thank you and it was clean the Diesel fuel normally cleans them out pretty good so does the acetone
Your dedication to making these run always amazes me. Thanks so much for your videos.
Nice job.....always amazing to see you get some of these to actually run. 😁
Glad to see you uploading after the bad weather. Always fun watching these; like watching a "lets play" but with beautiful machines.
I love this so much. *Car is literally falling apart* You: "Well, only thing that's bad about it is the motor is locked up". Gold.
She sounds fantastic
Love seeing stuff like this!. Old bits of kit, coughing back into life and onto their next chapter!. Good on ya fellas!. Maddog, Melbourne Australia!
Love your videos man. It may sound weird but they’re actually relaxing for me to watch lol.
Wow. I never expected you could free up that engine without taking it apart. Just wow
This crazy! I love seeing those old engines running again. Thanks buddy.
Great job sir! You r very talented
Thank you
Amazing to see this old truck run! 😎 Great job!

Couboy you are making her dancing very nice.. there it goes.. well done master.
This man is a genius.
Always love it when you upload. Your videos are always clean, and no b.s. fooling around.
I am absolutely shocked that thing ran at all. Good job sir!
Truly, patience is a virtue….!
Excellent job ….👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻😊
This guy is the best!! The fact that he can get these things running after so long is amazing
I love this channel! Im always excited to see a new video.
Awesome! Great to see the old iron come back to life
I would like to see the entire engine on fire.
I don't know half of what you're doing or how you do it, but I'll watch it all day long!
I'm hippie and artsy as they come, but something about this dude reviving cars is really inspiring. Makes me wanna get my hands dirty.
My favorite channel. Great job, sir.
good job man what a rush to breath life back into some old rig 😎
Always like your videos. Thanks from Rob in west cornwall England .
Dude you are badass. I used to watch my grandfather crank stuff that didn’t have any business running. You’re awesome man
Thanks foe sharing your awesome video. You really nailed the start up.
Great stuff man. Can't wait to see more of the diamond t.
You rocked it bro!! Love how you never give up. Keep up the good work!!
I'm enjoying the more frequent content lately hopefully you keep it coming 👍👍👍
Will do new video tomorrow and it’s going to be a good one
I love watching these old idle machines coming back to life!
Brilliant ! Enjoyed this no end , thank you !!

Those inline 6ers can sound so smooth with rust and crust removed, she was singing.
Never doubted your abilities!
Awesome!

Only you can bring the beyond dead back to life. The stuff I've watched you get running is insane
So great, watching from winnipeg manitoba Canada. Keep up the great content
That seemed like a close-run thing, but you convinced that engine to open up.
Fantastic!
Excellent work! So cool to see her run again.
Greetings from Detroit!
New to your channel man. Looking to fix up an old chevy truck soon. Awesome job 🙌🏻
Granted it's not like it's ready to go, but it ran, a lot better than I thought it would
The engine whisperer
The force is strong

What do you do with all the vehicles from the will it run series? Do you sell them, or do they just sit in ur yard? 😂
I sell a lot of them and some I keep it just depends on the vehicle
@Jennings Motor sports Oh, that's rad. Well, keep the great work, bud. I love your content and love to see those old motors breathe life again.
Iam so glad i found this channel very cool stuff love it👍🔥
