Richard, it's great to see something different being saved!! It's a Dodge that we do not see much any more!!!

Even though you did not have no light, you still got the truck running the first time, another excellent job

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!!!

This would be cool rat rod truck it's definitely got the patina for it or lack of existing paint rather lol, amazing the kind of shape that bed is still in considering it was probably pulled off in the early 70's and those 50's dodge truck cabs usually are not cheap..

@richardbates2367 Ай бұрын

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...

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.
