    I don't care what anybody says that's a beautiful old truck. Amazing that a flathead 6 actually had 99,000 mi on it, wow. You guys just keep doing what you're doing don't worry about what people say it's all about what you're doing right! 👍 Many blessings to y'all as always.

    Hi Richard and Christina ! I have been waiting and waiting for this video ever since the teaser you put out ! And it was worth the wait ! Love the self tapper pole barn garage reference ! Lol lol lol. With apologies to Mopar fans , old Dodge parts can be a problem , only thing that may be worse would be IH parts. Stopping and going back to basics is always the Golden Rule when weird problems are giving you fits....So happy you put that advice in , it NEVER FAILS ! Fantastic Video ! Thank You !!

    At 14:09, I remember from far back in my youth they used those for rooms that did not have wall sockets. You took out the bulb, screwed it into the adapter, then screwed the whole thing back into the ceiling receptacle which was usually hanging down from the ceiling....L-O-N-G time ago!!!

    Christina mam when I had mentioned that I was working on a early 94 Chevy Z71 Silverado extended cab short bed 350 sbc tbi and I found out that it has a 5206 dr side 350 55lh and a 5279 40-45lh fuel injector on the passenger side of the throttle body injector pod, and it would shoot 4ft flames out of the deep tone dual glass pack muffler exhaust and 3 1/2 inch stainless steel single wall angle cut heartthrob brand about 14 inch long exhaust tips and it sounded like a double barrel side by side shotgun.... Being fired simultaneously... Neighbor's hated that truck...

Some folks miss the point muscle cars are great in their own way but 40’s 50’s 60’s other models were there too ! That does need TLC , but a lot less than building a muscle car today !

    GREATJOB U 2. I have a 51F3 and the engine looks the same
    I also seem to have a larger, in diameter, steering wheel which gives me a little more leverage for turning when parking etc. My wheel had lots of play I'm it and I discovered the steering box itself was loose where it connected to the frame so after tightening it there I lost a lot of that play. Of course you can also tighten up the play in the wheel by tightening the worm gear in the steering box itself. Very sturdy old reliable farm vehicle.

I have seen plenty of your Cre-oil usage on your channel in 62 years have used all the snake oils and thought well, Richard and Christina use it and they don't appear to be people that wouldn't say something that wasn't true . I bought a can and used it on my 2003 Chevy Suburban to pull exhaust from factory header , and the product works just as demonstrated I was very happy no broken exhaust bolts , now that's a first .

    Ah yes, the devil beating his wife during a sunny rain. My father used to say that. He was born in 1903, six months before the Wright brothers flew their plane at Kitty Hawk. My mother never liked the expression. LOL. Very nice job on the Dodge truck. The oldest Dodge I ever owned was a '61 Dodge Pheonix I had in high school. We called it, "The Boat." I drove it around while I was fixing up a '57 Ford Ranchero. I love watching you bringing these vehicles back to life.

      I like those Dodge cars from 61. I had never heard that saying until this video. It is an odd one for sure. Thanks for watching.

    Love the old truck and those rear windows are so unique, and it sounds cool also. There is a certain procedure for adjusting those old Mopar brake shoes. When I followed that procedure in the old Motors manual the brakes worked perfectly. Also, Andy Bernbaum and Roberts have old Mopar parts. Anyway, you two are so funny together, it's a blast to watch how you interact! Great job on the truck! Catch you later.

    Need to stain the bed and install those metal rails, where it may look like the original or close to it.

      Right, I just don't know what they were thinking. "Where is that needle? Oh, it isn't really needed."

    That noise the radio makes is probably the vibrator. It takes the battery voltage, changes the polarity back and forth creating alternating current, it goes through a step up transformer to maybe, 60 Volts for the vacuum tube plate voltage. By the mid- late 1950's, the mini tubes came out, vibrator radios were obsolete. Early 1960's, transistor radios came along.

      Thanks for the info. I did not know what that vibrating sound was for.
