  • Will this 1931 Model AA dump truck run after setting for over 75 years without the hood and after being in a wreck over 75 years ago
    This truck was in a salvage yard about 45 years ago when it was purchased for yard art, and for the past 45 years, it was used as your art for a construction business until I bought the truck we had to change the camshaft, change the transmission and clutch to get this old truck running after it set for over 75 years

      Indeed. I did feel a bit sorry for him due to all that mud and puddles of water. Dry ground makes a much more pleasant working environment. But at least nothing on the ground would catch fire when it was like that!

    I can't decide whether this guy is a genius, totally insane or just someone who enjoys a challenge...But, as a long-time problem-solver & DIRer myself, I love these videos. I don't think there is one other person out of a million who has the confidence that they can get a "hunk of junk" like this running again.
    When I was a kid, more than 60 years ago, I "helped" my older brother restore a '31 Model A to running condition...but it was in way better shape than this truck to start with.
    Ten years later I found myself working for a car restoration shop near Cranbury, NJ, for awhile. (I had "fallen" for the owner's daughter, and he gave me the job when I needed it.) That owner (Mr.Clickner) was not a mechanic but, rather, a sheet metal genius...so, when necessary, he'd create new body panels from scratch, rather than having to find salvage parts for some pretty rare cars, like the 1915 Metz that we restored.

    Too damn cool watching these, there’s a guy out here with hundred or so cars he’s been rounding up over the years a lot of old stuff 10’s and 20’s love to see you get some of it running. His stuff all abandoned and not run for several decades. He’s got an old Mack truck from WWI I’d live to see that thing start and drive.
