Bryson finds the oil fill plug on the differential. You know this truck is vintage. You know what else is antique? The differential oil and the transmission oil! Bryson replaces the two types of oil and greases the wheels and frame. Will he put this truck in gear and get it driving?

Excellent restoration project! The very first thing I do when fixing anything is to thoroughly clean it. It's easier to work on and to see what's what. A water blaster/pressure washer is worth its weight in gold. I recall your earlier videos on well drilling, you were very, how should I put it, creative in how you approach the problem. 😀 Very much looking forward to seeing more holes in the ground. Massive Respect from New Zealand 👍😀

Bryson's determination and "can do" attitude are nothing short of "inspirational", but I'm still mystified on what you will do with this. Does the well drilling part even work? Are you starting a well drilling business? Don't know a lot about automotive stuff, but I do agree with Walt about Muncie transmissions. My uncle was a mechanic and he swore by them for the trucks he serviced (from this same era).

Hey Bryson, when you started moving that old truck the first thing that came into my head was the old truck in the movie "Cars" I think it's name is "MATER". I think that's the perfect name for it and your drawing on your shirt looks just like the one in the movie. Also, you did a good job getting that thing running. Good on you guy.

Generally back then most standards were a 3 gear Standard H shift. They either went: 1st is up to the left, 2nd is straight down from 1st and 3rd was up to the right and Reverse was straight down from third. Sometimes they would also make the shift order: 1st is up to the left, Reverse was straight down from 1st, 2nd was up to the right and 3rd was straight down from 2nd.

All's well that drills well, I guess. It's amazing how you're able to get a truck that was obviously neglected for many years to even start, much less drive. A year from now I expect to see that baby on the road to drill some wells for friends and neighbors.

@foretb1162 2 жыл бұрын

I used to work for an outdoor market garden and we had container trailers on the property to hold supplies. Each had a name. One of the towing companies here has the name of Dr. Hook, so the container trailer they dropped off wore the name (and still does to this day) of"Dr. Hook". Those were the most wonderful and best bosses I ever had because they respected their employees and treated them like family members. The business has been handed down to the 2nd generation now but the values of their great work ethic and caring for each other still lives on. BTW, old stick shifts are: top left - 1st, bottom left - 2nd, top middle - 3rd, far top right - 4rh and far right down - reverse. I learned to drive "stick" on a 1964 Chevrolet BelAir station wagon. A long nose and long tail end with "shift on the column". When we switched vehicles to a Lynx Cougar (1980's) I had to relearn how to drive 'stick' because the positions of the rod had changed. After a few years we got a Chevrolet S-10 with a cap. My partner hated parallel parking so it was up to me to do it instead of having him go around the block a thousand times to find a parking spot he could 'just drive into'. Which brings me to my 2nd query: now that you've got it rolling, are you planning on making the well-digging business your next career? If so, you're going to need to lubricate the huge digging arm. Any plans on repainting the rig?

To run unleaded, you will have to replace the exhaust valves and seats! While you are in there, you might as well replace the valve guides, do a valve job on the intake vales and replace their valve guides also. Oil Bath air cleaners were used because they are cheap, just clean it, add a bit of 'el cheapo' oil and you are on your way. Learn water well drilling and you can make solid money as a sideline or full time! The pull lever that did not seem to do anything might be a frozen choke or heater cable! The name Rig Be, comes to mind! See what being raised by a father and mother, a loving family and good old fashioned home schooling can produce, the; 'My Little Home Stead Bunch'!
