Will it run and drive after 56 years 1936 ford 1.5 ton flathead v8 truck
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- This 1936 Ford truck has been in the same garage since 1968 and the engine has been tore apart in several hundred pieces for the past 56 years. The truck was parked around 19 6768 for a valve job and it never got finished. Luckily the motor seems to be in pretty good shape and we’re going to get it running and driving and hopefully back on the road the tires on this truck for 1935 altogether. The truck seems to be in fairly good shape. 
Politeness, no cursing, no awful music, no endorsements...just talent and a young man with an incredible set of skills. By far, my favorite UA-cam channel.
👍💕
OK stuffy, you sound a little woke to me, but I'm not a child so thanks for your politically correct comment.
MINT!!!!!!!!
@@PaulLorenzini-ny2ywyour the only one who brought up politics skuffy😂 sounds to me like you are the only woke one here. Be good to yourself because you probably deserve it.
Well said.
No car is dead around this man.
@@po18guy he reanimates dead cars!
We have certainly seen him revive engines in vehicles that look anything but a vehicle anymore. Heck even when the motor was missing a chunk or three...or four or more...
@RuralTowner he'd give the car wizard a run for his money
He made a completely totalled AAR Cuda body look pretty much brand new!
If he was a cardiac surgeon we'd have heart patients living past 200.
I was surprised at how well it ran after sitting so long, nice to see it saved and not LS swapped.
She could use a k24 swap no doubt
@@UA-camcensoredmyusername or you know, you can use the perfectly good original engine instead of spending months swapping a modern engine in
@@SoupyMittens been there done that. I speak from experience not from a laptop. Old stuff sucked if you don’t remember. If you don’t have fuel injection and a good overdrive trans bare minimum for a daily driver, you’re missing out. 1960 f100 Toyota 1uz v8 and a380 trans 👌 the only thing that really costed anything was having the driveshaft made
@@UA-camcensoredmyusernametake your fuel injection and shove it.
@@megaaggron9778 I did, I shoved it right under my hood, then I didn’t open the hood for a long time because it works great
This man is singlehandedly preserving automotive history that others wrote off and left to rot. One mans trash is another mans treasure, so to speak. I'm amazed every single video I watch!
Jennings Motor Sports is my favorite "Will it Run?" channel! Great work!!!
It is absolutely the only one I watch. Everybody else's just feels like clickbait compared to this guy. I know there are some good ones, but this fella is honest, genuine, hardworking and has a great attitude.
Didn’t know that there were😂 others.
Same. And his euphemism like "valvolatin' " are classic.
followed by VGG and Junkyard Digs....but they don't play with stuff this old
@@JoeyDadawgme either
I love the sound of the old flat heads.
That heartbeat makes you fall in love with them.
Back in 1961 me and a buddy rebuilt a 1936 PU just like your grain truck. After a total rebuild and painting we decided to start it after the six month rebuild. I was holding the battery and pushing the starter while my buddy used my glass jug of gasoline for my lawn mower to prime the carb. This resulted in a backfire which trapped me in the garage when my buddy dropped the glass jug setting the garage, the truck and me on fire. I made it out without being burned but the PU and the garage didn't fair as well.
Thanks for the memories.
Great comment, glad you were unharmed, and I am sure you learned something, what was it?
Safety Third?
Glad your still in good health, sounds like one of my younger memories 😆😅🤣😂
@@PaulLorenzini-ny2ywYep, you don’t need to worry about safety.
man, every time i look at what you're starting with and i shake my head. when will i learn to stop doubting you? thanks for givin the old girl her dignity back.
I especially enjoyed this episode - the test run on public roads was audacious and gave a great view of the pleasant area you are based in.
Thank you for not playing music
Thats my depo lol
That's what they told me when I first started down this road of country blues picken
Twenty-seven years later I entertained at the Grand Ole Oprey
@@BigPoppieSeedwow amazing
way to go you @@BigPoppieSeed
Right?!? I detest that crap. Here to watch and Learn not have my brain burn. Especially hearing the same free yt music on video after video . When you have a good thing you dont need to add in effects, music, overlays, ads etc. Content speaks for itself. Cheers.
I'll bet this guy could get the titanic engines running
HA!! YEAH!!!!
This old girl's been sitting at the bottom of the ocean since 19 and 12. We're gonna see if we can get her runnin.
nobody's gonna take that bet
@@jjryan1352 exactly 😂😂😂😂👍
Yes he could.
There's nothing like the sound of a flathead V-8 Ford. Cheers from eastern TN
*pulls out one of those cars that sunk with the Titanic* "She looks pretty bad, but I think she'll run!"
Made me kinda homesick for the old days when those old "jitneys" were pretty common around my part of the country. Thanks for bringing "her" back to life.
HAHA...Best restoration channel on youtube. Love to see these old vehicals running again.
Not sure if I would call this a restoration channel. Not sure if we can call it "will it run?" either... 'cause they always seem to run. Maybe the "git 'er running" channel is best?
Restoration? Revival is more accurate.
Yea but what happens to them after he gets them to run?
@@massmike11 in the comments, he mentions keeping some and selling some.
Mate... your content is absolutely impressive. Function over Form is what I like. Youre a bloody wizard with these old underappreciated and left for dead/rot away relics. Godspeed young man. Cheers.
This gentleman not only has mechanical talent but patience and confidence in his ability. This is among my favourite You Tube channels. A true mechanic!
This truck yearned to be driven again, Thanks for its rescue .
Compression,fuel and sparks and off it goes. What an absolute pleasure to watch you tinkering with what any right minded person would class as scrap, and you get it running.
That really was an amazing truck with the good old Ford Flat head V8. They built those engines to last back then and you just proved it. Thanks for the video.
you've got an amazing voice with a cool accent, its fun listening to you!
You cannot be serious, he never shuts up and his voice is completely fake and forced. He ruins what would otherwise be great content because he doesn’t EVER stfu.
@@raptor31able Since you're obviously such an expert I figured I'd check out some of your amazing videos. But wait, you don't have a one.
Where is his accent from? Definitely heard a similar one before
@@Englishsea24 Arkansas
@@MrUbiquitousTech I thought it was something like alabama. I stand corrected 👍
Quick and concise, short and to the point. Accent is just a bonus.
Holy moley. You are the man. Thats an awesome rig you got there.
The only channel I have ever been subscribed to.
We can see your subscriptions and you are subbed to more than just this channel...
@@TrentenLobohe says have, not had
No big screens, no Bluetooth, no computers ....Just oil,gas,American craftsmanship And BUILT TO LAST .... DAYS GONE BY
To be honest, I love seeing getting them running, but I love even more seeing you take them out for a quick drive. It was hilarious that the trooper went riding down the street after you got it back to the shop, someone probably called in it. It's one scary looking old truck riding down the street, loud too. I'd love to see more of anything you've got running in that era period with a driving video!
Great to see the old cars / trucks running again. At 74, this site brings me back to my teenage years of pulling old Chevys' out of the brush and getting them up and running. Thanks!!
Wow ! So happy to see the truck being driven.....it's working again .
Thank you for posting this type of videos. I would never had any idea that this would be on the road again. A++++++ videos every time
It's great to see a younger dude that is not only interested in the golden age of cars but also knows and values the "technology" behind it. Most his age can't do anything if there's not a computer involved and they have no idea how an IC engine actually works.
This young man puts VGG to shame. An absolute master at what he does.
Agreed. He doesn’t try to be a comedian.
Different channels, both very entertaining. It aint like theyre rivals or anything.
@silversurfer806
This guy is great but, VGG has his place. You may not like VGG but obviously enough people do or he wouldn’t have got as famous as he did. It is funny though to go back to VGG first video with his Camaro and he talked a lot different.
@@jonathanrice1070that's part of Derek's thing the fact that hes funny and that has brought him almost 2million subs
What a stupid comment
Them state boys would have had a story to tell back at the post if they'd pulled you over in that beast. My old lady got mad at me for driving a car I bought about 20 miles down the road with no plates to get it home, you're on another level with that lmao.
This dude has the best will it start videos, he does the stuff that looks like it would never run again and bang he gets it running, no drama or boi stories, thank you sir! I really appreciate the clean language and the fact the video is about what the title says there ain't no click bait or having to watch something else other than what is advertised, so many boys need to grow up and learn most men don't want to look at them we just show up to see the toys and don't care about nothing else, glad you don't leave us disappointed. I got kids 4-14 and we all love watching as a family. I wish this dude was our neighbor so we could just watch him in person, dude seems like a decent feller to hang with.
The best will it run video yet! The fact that you drove this on the road without doing anything else to it is cool. Love this channel, cheers from south Wales, UK
this thing is in beautiful condition for a JMS video. i've seen other 'will it run' channels where a couple of overly happy jerkoffs with a film crew and fancy editing wouldn't touch this, and that's probably if they weren't absolutely sure they could get it running for their 1M subscribers.
my man, you may not be fancy, but you're legit.
I love ending the evening with a few of these videos. It's like hanging out with an old friend
Of all the channels on You Tube that gets old cars running, yours is the best by far!
Really enjoy seeing these old trucks come back to life. Question: the ones we see run and then never see again, what happens to them? Sold? Parked in a hedge row for another few decades? 😊
32:00 back to work!? I heard she screaming NOOOOOOO from here, And I'm pretty far away. Greetings from Brazil.
When you first showed this truck with the engine the way it was I never expected you to get it running. Great job.
first video of his you've watched, eh? this thing is practically show quality compared to most of what i've seen him get running.
My first thought was if he had all the pieces for the engine or would there be some cannibalizing of other cars in the yard.
Best "will it run " channel on utube... Wish you had a vid every day.
Another great video. Been from England 🏴 it’s amazing to me how you find something so different. Every time. 😮
JMS is so enthusiastic that I forget to ask whether he is looking at the same rusty lump that I am seeing. The optimistic and positive description of the cab interior made me feel like this was a suitable contender for my next truck daily driver! I am willing to bet that none of the trucks manufactured today will be able to be made roadworthy again in 2080!
I like that it had the record with dates-and you got it! good job-onto the next!!
I really enjoy watching you fix these old vehicles. You really know what it takes to get these machines going again. So cool to see an 80 year old truck chugging around the yard
Reminds me of my first trip around the block in a 36 Dodge 1.5 ton.Last licensed in 72.Square tires,spring seat,rat droppings and no brakes…..wife wasn’t impressed.lol
Good afternoon from Cape Cod 🦈 I'm impressed to see that truck actually running and driving once again. I don't believe there's anything you can't get running again. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
That dude going down the road was neat as heck thanks for letting us experience that. Great work
First of all. I like that you work on stuff that most people won’t touch. Second I like all the flathead stuff!
Great truck I loved it! I'm from Chicago that southern accent crackers me up😂❤
👏👏👏 Well Done
I think she qualifies for tires and some wood floors 😊
Great Episode
Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
🌴 that old girl is back up and dancing , I gotta admit when first see her I thought she was down for the count but y’all did some magic on her and gave her some love , she needs a set of tires a real fuel tank , brakes, and some TLC . New windows 👍🏼😆
Oh wow ! Flathead 8. If anyone can make it run you can, its like Dr. Frankenstein at work.
I just love the fact that you don't have stupid music in the back ground and you get right to the point! Also , instead of saying " I am going to " You include the people watching by saying " we're gonna do this and that" That is very smart on your behalf! Keep up the great work my friend~! and keep the videos coming~!
I'm almost fifty years old, my dad & me had a 1928 Ford AA truck that was a original Railroad Express Agency station truck. It only did local freight service up in Marion OH. I wish we still had it.
That thing sounds wicked. Even without a cylinder delete 👌🏼
Excellent will it run and drive, Beautiful truck, Old fords NEVER DIE 👍👍
Awesome job man , and NO fires 🔥 on this one 😉😎👍
Admirable dedication and humility in your content. Keep inspiring!
All smiles while you were driving her............ good one
Even with the "Head and intake delete package" to save weight, Jennings was still able to get this old girl running and driving again. Remarkable!! 😎👍
Watching you work on the old trucks and cars brings me back to my childhood. I was always the one that wanted to get under the hood and help my dad change heads, push rods, springs and gaskets. And it wasn’t always in nice weather when we needed to work on them. I loved all the room under the hood, hell you could have a party in all that space🤣. I love the sound of the old engine roar. Great video and thank you for sharing them with us. 👏👍🇨🇦💕🎉
Another great save from the "Engine Whisperer".😃
Made me smile when she came out of the garage. Thanks for the memories.
I am amazed at all the old vehicles you are able to dig out of anywhere.
That plugged oil drain hole brought back memories. I had the same thing happen on my '31 Model A. removed the plug and nothing came out until I shoved a screwdriver in the hole. I pulled the pan and it had 2 inches of sludge in the bottom of the pan! I also pulled the valve cover off and the whole thing was packed with sludge as well. I had been told the engine had been "rebuilt" yeah!! I cleaned everything up good and that engine ran like a sewing machine!
Our favorite "Mad Lad" ... thanks for the fine entertainment!
Those early flats like to start up right off,my 47 does the same thing,love this channel.
I find it impressive how you can take what would be either a barn queen or someones lawn ornament and turn it into a running driving vehicle again. Awesome content, keep up the good work!
This is amazing. Such an awesome find. Look forward to seeing more of this one! New tires, interior, etc!
21:40-21:43 the 3rd cylinder back shot a spark out of the plug. May have a pinhole or crack in the plug.
This was so cool to watch the resurrection. Great job
Grate video I wasn't expecting to see the truck 🚚 drive to awesome job 👏😁keep up the good work 👍
Personally, I would like to see some "complete" projects that are all fixed and put back together, and being used or for sale. I appreciate your work, attitude and general content!
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Most people would look at these old junkers and say they aren't worth anything except for possibly scrap, but you look at them and say, "I think I can get this old girl up and running and back on the highway!" Then you do just that. You are an awesome mechanic IMHO. Love your channel.
It is so cool to see a young kid working on a truck that was parked a year before I was born. I love this channel.
jennings motor sports, thank you for all your shared videos. every one leaves me smiling.
Ive been working on cars for a long time and love watching you get these old relics up and running again keep it up I love this channel!
I like the condition of this truck. This is one of the best videos to date you've done. I love the story of this one. It was in the garage for repair and then 56 years later it comes out thanks to these guys!
That is really cool that the motor wasn't locked up for sitting for that long sounds good
. I love watching these old machines come back to life. Watching the back bone of America come back to life one classic at a time
You are amazing! Getting those old relics going is simply tremendous!
OF all the car/truck channels I watch, this one is my all-time favorite. I keep saying you're the engine whisperer!
Back in the early 70s, a good buddy of mine was 130 lbs of fearless. He flat towed a 64 Chevy II using your 'seat' and a pair of vice grips to steer. Glad you woke this truck up. It seems it was waiting just for you.
I love this, thank you and made me burn my Dinner :) because I was distracted by watching this. :)
You need to take these antiques to a auto show and show what you have accomplish in your work of getting these running.
Its an older video, but Im just here to say how much I have enjoyed binge watching your channel. Great stuff, very motivating.
"Lord, this thing rahhhds like a chuckwagon......." lol!
*Awesome* job at bringing this great old truck back to life!
She fired-up almost immediately - idled like a champion!
They really built things to last in those days!
I just love seeing old vehicles and machinery being restored and brought back to working condition!
Keep up the great work!
Another sleeping beauty, that just woke up. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching you bring these old engines back to life!! Incredible amount of talent !
It always amazes me how you keep your white T shirt white . I don’t even need to lift the lid on a car and I’m covered in oil 😮
Brother I don’t know how you do it in the mud all the time, great to see you working under a roof for a change. Thanks for another fun video, I can’t get enough of a young person caring for these vintage vehicles.
That must have been an anxiety ridden ride but also exicting driving something like that down the steet! awesome video!
Flat spots or not, sure as hell beats walkin'! Great job!!!
Excellent video Jennings :) also that old Ford 1.5 ton truck amazing and good one she after you tune up ! Yes flat spot tires are wild for sure on ride and sure bumping bounce too! 292 V8 motor are incredible motor! I did 1994 a 1929 Ford Model A Woody Car had 292 V8 first generation with 1 barrel Carter with hand choke cable in also 6 volt positive ground plus optional air compressor on right side on belt drive , generator recharge 6 volt battery, crank start too , with h patterns transmission with R on left back then on right was 1 and OD (second gear) 3 pedals with emergency brake handle on right on transmission, brakes were gear type and axle ratio was 170 ! 5 gallon fuel tank up by front windshield! Also hand style wipers to plug Cowl fog lights and headlights changes from Kersone light up to electrical 6 volt positive ground one , electrical starter too button on gas pedal area , black body with Yellow Varthine wood, 6 seater horn Lol old Model T type!
You just do magic with your antiques! Total pleasure to watch you in action!
Lad knows his way around old motors. Cool beans my dude 🤘😎
Literally the only channel I watch when I want sumn todo while smoking or eating…. Lol not sure why but it’s just too straight forward been watching for a bit man🤘🏾
A-mazing! I wouldn't have given that truck any chance whatsoever. I'll never be able to watch movies where people try to get out of a place by putting together junked out derelict cars and trucks the same way again! Great video!
Just wanted to thanks you for sharing your love for old vehicles.
Put a real smile on my face seeing you jump right in and getting this old girl trundling again! I was born in '68 so it was extra-special to see something the same vintage still able to turn a wheel. Enjoyed seeing the local neighbourhood too.
