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.

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.

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.

I love the way you rescue these old trucks. They have so much history that most people don't even think about. Great videos!

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

Raising the dead like this is looking a lot like necromancy. It definitely seems like magic to me.

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.

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 seeing the International Harvester logo on that block. Excited to see the update.

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

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.

Love the way you give these old buggers life again! Great video!

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.

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 🎄

According to the interweb Chickasaw Lumber Company is still in business Memphis Tennessee......

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.

Great progress another old piece o history saved ! Thanks for sharing !

YOU NEVER disappoint How you get those engines running and not throw wrenches is something almost like an act of God. Your have the gift.

"leaks like a screen door on a submarine" is incredible

I just love the old truck styles! The bigger the fender flares the better! :D

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.

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. 👍

Really glad you round up these old time machines. Awesome job Jennings!

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.

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.

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!

This is the first of your videos I've seen. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT !! You went about it the same way I did an old Harley 45 flathead I bought with a stuck top-end ex cept much easier using acetone with the trans fluid instead of the desile fuel and old gas I used (all I had) which took days of soaking and tugging to get jugs off! Will definitely watch you from now on !

That seafoam deep creep is some good stuff. I use it alot to get rusty nuts and bolts loose.
