1940 Chevy Dubl Duti, Will It Run After 80 Years? | Turnin Rust

It looks like an oil filter, right? I was looking before and didn't see anything. She was looking for like a tub of oil, something else, but I didn't see any indication of anything where it would come off. that's right, oh oil, it feels good, but it's quite dark, it's got a little bit of color there, but that's how it feels, yeah, it feels good, did you find the oil? Yes, it's there, put it inside everything. Right, it looks like a pretty easy place to fill it, looks like it, funky looking little oil plug, doesn't it? Yeah, I see something there, a really fast cable or something, but oh, that's what I have there, uh, okay, put that in. in your truck you put that in my truck yes sir go ahead and pour the heater core out of the door that's in the way it makes it weird it should work here we go I don't think this thing has a filter of oil.

Which doesn't make sense, but I don't know what they did in the '40s. They drove it until it broke down and then they got something else. I'll check. I don't think what I had used was complete. a little out of it or something else, I'll give it a few seconds to pass. The show on the track looks good now, yes, my goodness, we'll get you some glasses, I have them, but I don't use them. So they should do that, so if there is no oil filter to change, it

will

be very difficult to take the next step.

Well, I say we take it off these little rollers and put some air in it. Put some air in the tires. and see if we can move it down the road he said the clutch is at least moving the pedal you know as long as the clutch disc isn't too

rust

y all the way to the flywheel and it's springy so yeah it's not like it's going down. and you haven't put it back up, take it out of these things and I'll have to give myself a seat, although I don't think this is going to work also if I'm standing trying to drive it, so I don't think the battery is going to be cleaned when you put it back up. put it there, so yes, we should have another one, although a little smaller, maybe in the Volkswagen, yes, yes, it should work.

It was a little tighter, yes, yes, it should work. Oh yeah, that one fits well. Well yeah it worked I think instead of running the coil wire straight down to the positive I think we just need to clip it to the starter that way once we drive it if we need to turn it off it's a bit easier. grab that down here, so yeah, once we get the seat plate up here, it's going to be hard to get it right, so I guess I'll try it and make sure we have a good connection. Yes, it seems that way because I

will

do it.

Get all this junk out of the way, take that seat. I guess I'll go ahead and have you help me get in a little more. It's heavier than you think it would be. Yes, this seat is heavy and it's mostly all on that seat. part if I don't fall on the floor that flower is pretty soft, okay, let me leave it for a second, okay, it should work, I don't think we're going to put other panels in there, but I hate it. to put them on there and I need to do something right, yeah I figure as long as I can sit here and get to the pedals and everything, yeah it should work fine, bit of a weird feeling but it should work, I guess that's how they got them back place.

The day, yeah, cool, well, I thought we'd probably go ahead and shoot some air into the tires and get them moving a little bit and shoot it in the open air. It's crazy that these old tires even try to stay there. Yes, you want to know something crazy. What's happening? that if a lot of these tires have the date code, if that's the date code most of the time it's the week and the year it shows, they would have been week 20 of 39. So I guess they would have been basically the originals. tires on yeah that's crazy so you know this thing's been out of commission forever it always scares me yeah shooting air at these elephants especially when they creak I'm going to say it's scary that the one in the back Still, yeah, yeah, that's crazy, that's a worse looking tire. and it still has air, it's the best one we have and I think it goes down fast and great, we reoriented it a little bit so that it breaks down, yeah, because there are too many problems to try to fight it inside, let's see. what does that look like ah, maybe a little more, I think I can get out of the angle which should be good, take her off the dollies and see if she even tries to move forward or backwards, I think so, I mean, We're in That point, yes, very good on my part, all good, two less, two less, still no leaks in the radiator.

The power bar should be fine. You know, we got some sheet metal

rust

here and there on the truck, but the frame as solid as can be everything looks great underneath, well, well, coming down, well, things are getting serious, I think we need a strap, the old gas tank, yeah, I'm going to go ahead and put it in there, just see if I can. strap, I think there's a little short one there next to the oh yeah I see one, it should work anywhere you can find it, okay hook it back in the same place, yeah I guess having the gas tank tied to the heater isn't going to work to be like this.

Anything is what I said, we're not going to drive too far that'll give us something to keep our enemies happy anyway it should be fine I don't even know if that thing is still connected I doubt we don't turn it on right we want to get it going see if I can get us to see if it moves a little uh let's try it I don't know where that choke is going to go she can be a little stubborn we will definitely do it I need to get a new choke cable so we can adjust it uh let's go for it let's know where is the reverse gear, that works fine, the reverse gear is in a strange place, yes, I guess it would be a four speed, then the reverse gear is nice. from here where the second one would be, but a little further away, so can you try to take it outside?

Yeah, let me get something to help me close the door because we have to go up a little higher. Well, it seems like we jumped to some kind of oh yeah, there's finally a leak, isn't there? Yeah, it doesn't look like it's coming out of the radiator. Yeah, that top hose, that top hose coming out of the radiator is just rotten, probably building up a little pressure from the heat, should be fine I guess. I need to go ahead and get my truck out with no brakes and being there doesn't add up well. I think those doors will close there, they should close or at least close as tight as they were to keep me a little warmer anyway, I don't know. which one goes first and check the water and make sure we're not leaking too much okay you got a little puddle not much man let's go ahead and finish it off real quick just for fun we won't go too far it'll even get hot when Let's get there, well, I'll take it out and ride it with me down there, yeah, I'll get it outside real quick, I'll watch it move under its own power after who knows how long. on the original tires with the gas tank tied at the back to the heater, okay, I can let you go ahead and press the starter just out of reach, are you ready, yeah, okay, ready, I'm ready, try it, doesn't look like the seatbelt across me should definitely get some looks at this thing going down the road in crazy low gear wow just for fun that's all the gears that's all the gears that's all she wrote we're shooting oh, slow down halfway the queen just stopped, well we did it, we did it well, it's crazy, this thing still works so well, yeah, I mean, it's our first trip and after who knows how many

years

ago, when we first came across this old truck, we were so excited to find it.

In all my searching, I have never seen a fan even familiar with this. I've searched the internet and I'm pretty sure knowing that this is probably the only one that exists and knowing that she actually still works is great to know but the only one that still works now there has been a lot of controversy about what we should do with all this van. We love custom builds in the shop, but with such a rare piece it would be really cool to see it return to its originality. That being said, we're going to keep working on it.

We would love to hear your comments. I hope you enjoyed this video and be sure to tag it with the rest.
