i know it must suck to live in the depression era and never get to buy anything new...but most channels just swap parts and you dont really learn anything from it,with your channel i actually get to see how stuff looks on the inside and how they work.

Nothing more satisfying to me than fresh brakes on an old rig like this. Transforms the ride quality & experience instantly. RIP Right Rear brake drum, 1948-2024. I can’t get enough of those tires man. Really can’t wait for this cold weather to move on

I pulled it out of a wrecked 1.5 ton truck in a junk yard and overhauled it in our barn over the winter and we put it in my worn out 50 chevy torpedo back using rope snatchblocks because we didnt know any better. We tell everyone we know who likes old cars to find your channel. Bill

Good job on the brakes on the '48! My Dad showed me how to hone brake cylinders without a hone... back in the day, you would get a good straight stick (like a dowel) and split one end, then put a piece of folded emery cloth in the split so that each side was even with the other. A rubber band was used to hold the split together, and some penetrating oil or brake fluid was used as a lubricant. Put the dowel into a drill motor (which looked just like the one in the picture on the Lisle hone) and use it to hone out the cylinder in question! It seemed as though we never had the specialty tools that made these jobs easier, but with a little ingenuity, we got by...

i appreciate VERY MUCH that your videos are 45min - 1h or longer. Probably not as popularity-gaining as some 5-10 min length videos, but that's not the case I think. Personally I like very much to see everything in detail and to listen to some thoughts you have during the work. It's great to watch a longer video to see everything as it is, especially in the times of "some short-length-form culture" or something like that. So thank you for that. Looking forward to the engine video, and the POV view is great, that was a good idea

@ukaszjaniak801 5 ай бұрын

and reusing everything you can is also a great concept, especially when as we all know, new parts are sometimes far worse quality than the original ones. I'm after a brake job in my Skoda, and I've chosen to restore a master cylinder with an original NOS repair kit for that reason - saving money by the way
