Amazing how simple these vehicles were back then compared to what we have today, and both get you from point A to B. I can see that my grandfather wasn't lying when he said you could fix one of these with a wrench, screwdriver, and some pliers.
They were built to work, not built to fail.

If people wouldn't buy overly complicated, poorly designed crap, they wouldn't be able to sell it but people buy right into marketing bs. To the point where people are willingly buying cars that shut off at stop lights. It's crazy what people will fall for and thanks to that, we have crap cars.
@@jears dude 186k miles is not good ofc its a bmw but they can go easily over 200k. if you take care of it like any car. but the problem with modern cars is they are made to break, and dealers expect you to be in an endless loop of cars that constantly break.. and even suck money out of you if insurance can get away with not paying for something. cant be a winner with cars, every single one has their ups and downs but im just here to state my opinion and i hope you dont think im being rude.
@@jears my 2000 suburban has 353k miles and runs fine. Your BMW is junk buddy
Can't believe thy were going to send it to the scrapper. That old truck is in VERY restorable condition.
Good stuff!!! Love seeing the old trucks being brought back to life. Cheers!!!!
I also like how he gets to the truck right away and does not do none of that last time/week bs or trying to sell himself out like most of the car channels are getting on here these days.
It is cool. Just wish it would be less wasteful.
A one hundred year old truck, how beautiful. It's absolutely humbling to just see something like this still running after all these years. That's true time travel.
True Time Travel?!
Mad respect for this guy. He listened to what his fans want and is doing it
He's doing things that people have done for many many years 🤣🤔
Are those 12 volt or mechanicsl fans 😂
@@ronalddaub9740 In a better way…it’s not all about him.
It's great to see the history being brought back to life. Today's generations can see the pioneering work the early motor engineers produced. Well done folks. Colin, UK
An old friend of mine back in Maryland had a truck just like that one many years ago.
I love seeing those old engines running again.
Having watched a few of these, I'm convinced what makes him so good is his patience; if I had half of his attitude/outlook on mechanics, I could certainly save myself a ton of headache (and money)!

Old truck looks good for sitting around for 30 years, and nice save! My high school auto teacher gave me a model AA truck jack a while back, kind of ironic. Anyways, keep up the great content, I love seeing these old autos being saved!
It's incredible that these are still around at all! It's awesome
You need Wayne Carini to help out
@@oreally8605 lllppppp l.p. l.p.
1st thing I noticed...clean...

Absolutely love that you don’t play any music through your videos. I came to watch an old truck raised from the dead, not listen to a bunch of junk music!
Beautiful old truck, very usable, simple and made from quality materials
You are a true master at getting these old cars running. It's very entertaining and satisfying to watch.
Just needed a little TLC . That crack in the inlet of the carburetor is probably why it was parked . Nice condition for it's age , it's been restored before . But I've no doubts that it will run fine once the carb is changed , or the cracked portion is replaced , & the oil level corrected . Looks complete for the most part . Looking forward to seeing that run on the road . Nice tires ! A little baby powder & slight inflation of the inner tube helps with installation/assembly . Great idea to chain around the rim when pressurizing to full pressure , in case the split ring comes off for any reason . That tends to ruin a day quickly . Nice save !
Beautiful truck! For the caps if you take the rubber handles on a pair of pliers or something and squeeze it on the cap while turning it that usually loosens it right up! Thanks for sharing! I love learning from these videos! Thanks again. -Ian
My grande daddy used to have one like this one...
...it "disappeared" from his property after he died late in the 1970's!!!
Hope to watch her run like expected!!!
Thank You for the video!!!
May the Good Lord bless you always!!!

How did it "disappear"
@@dejvidtusek1736 Our family never knew how it happened or when nor WHO might "vanished it". 😭
@@victorhugogonzaleznavarro2486 oh
The sound of the old ford 4 cylinder is awesome. It never gets old. I still have my great grandfather's and I drive it every day to town. Kids love it, I make a ten minutes run to town and I'm gone 2 hours cause people wanna look and talk
Sir you are a freakin' legend in my book. I LOVE your videos, commentary, all of it. Keep up the amazing work. Got a forever subscriber here if it stays similar to this. Genuine, authentic, knowledgeable.
Do the Walton's know you stole their truck.
The Walton's swiped it from Jed Clampit
@@strfltcmnd.9925 Jed"s truck was a cut down Oldsmobile though. lol.
Hard to believe that thing made in to LA from west by God Virginia.
Classic 😂 no it's from Green Acres 🤣
The Walton's truck was a Chevrolet...
That Ford AA truck looks amazing for a field find. Shined up real nice. Also nice to see it move on it's own power.
I would love to have an old vehicle from the 30's! I was born in 1950 and there were some old vehicles still running around when I was a few years old. I still remember a few steam age locomotives on the tracks. I love old trains, vehicles and sailing ships. Thanks for the great video! I'll be looking forward to more!
USSR was producing that trucks too, Red army use them in battles of WW2 like "Katusha"s, they used by the way to save S Petersburg from hungry death in occupation times, they come with food through frozen Ladoga river under German-Finnish bombing and saved many lifes. Also they used in antiairship systems around Moscow, they shooted all planes without two (one of them falled in the North on Moscow, second be shooted under and dropped bombes in downtown part in park, this is middle part of Moscow and is near my flat building now)
In 50s those places became lakes for ducks
Great job saving the old girl from the scrapper. Made me smile to see her shown some love. This channel has so much potential...
I'm so glad I found this channel. It's wonderful to see these lovely old machines spring into life after so many years.
What a little sweetie! I just bought one like it in March, but mine is going to require lot's of work and love! And mine is the same color! I knew You would get this old baby running! I LOVE THIS! Thank You for keeping this BEAUTIFUL AA original!
I love those old trucks. Looks good driving in the snow.
This is absolutely fantastic. I hope this truck gets a whole another lifetime of use.
I love these videos. When I first found your channel I went through and watched every single one of your “will it run” videos.
Glad you uploaded a new one, it’s been awhile, THANK YOU!!!
I always like how you don’t call it “oil”, you call it OLLL.
That 'ole Model AA is my dream truck... I hope to have one someday. Thanks for bringing her back to life!
I only recently discovered you, already learned a pile on how to care for those old engines. Really fascinating content, looking forward to seeing more!
That is sooo cool.... My Grandpa had a '13 T truck, with a '14 crate engine with electric start. He did a frame up restoration, it sure was a beautiful truck. I sure miss him. Thanks for the video, you always provide such great content. Awesomeness 😁
La tua passione va oltre alla ottima descrizione del recupero di questo tuo autocarro ❤
Wow, she's in really good shape. This reminds me so much of two summers ago when I was getting our 1930 roadster going and on the road. Keep up the good work!
Nice job getting the old girl running again! Beautiful truck!.100 years ago she rolled off the assembly line, and the people who built her put their heart and soul into it. They're all gone now but their craftsmanship stood the test of time! A new set of meats a bit of carb repair clean the points and she's Driving again.!!😁
Man i just found this channel not long ago . I love watching you bring these old trucks and cars back to life . Awesome channel ! Cant wait for some more videos . 👍
Really cool old truck! Takes you back to when it was about getting the job done, and comfort took a back seat. Restored, it could be worth a lot of money. Good job getting it running! 👍
I wouldn't restore that truck it'll never be original again
@@ronalddaub9740And? I’d still drive it whether it was bone stock or retromodded to high hell. It’s a killer old truck.
Dude your channel is a gold mine. Amazing patience working with the car as a mechanic which I can honestly respect.
I appreciate whatever you are doing. Brings a smile to my face. And I don’t usually smile. Thank you for your great work 👍👍
Love the first start videos and I’m pretty anxious about seeing the 40 ford full restore videos. Also I’d be interested in seeing a walk around video inside and out of that old house in the background. I have a hobby of visiting old abandoned houses as well as cars lol
It gives me the warm and fuzzy feelings to see cars that haven't seen the road for decades get fixed up to run again.
I can't wait for the next one!
amazing, I love to see these old machines come to life again, good job !
I'm glad to see a young person interested in fooling around with old vehicles and hearing the excitement in your laugh.keep up the good work
Good timing on this video. It came out at a great time. Reminded me that there are more interesting things to think about despite all the garbage going on in the world. My granddad had a 1930 AA that had been a Standard Oil truck, then a farm truck. By the time he got it, it had a home made wench tripod built onto the bed from some old car frame. My granddad bought it running, but the owner insisted on keeping the front axel for a trailer. Grandpa installed a front axel from a car - gave it a cool looking dropped rake. He used it f occasionally for a while, then let it set. Someone stole the carb off it, however. I had thought it would be a good candidate for a vintage. 4X4 conversion but the truck disappeared after he passed as I didn’t have a place to keep it at the time. It’s nice to see a AA hanging around long enough to presumably be refurbished at least a second time.
I've always had little bowties running through my veins but that old truck is beautiful and I cant wait to see it running and driving better 👍
I had no idea Dr. Phil knew so much about, let alone worked, on antique/vintage vehicles. Good job Dr. Phil!
Thank's! Love this Chanel, no more talking, just start old cars, don't change it
Wow , this one must have been in the dry for the last 30 years , she's in great shape . Love it , thanks for the content and saving the old iron . We need to see the past ,to see where we are going . Personally I think we are moving to fast , good to slow down and see and appreciate where we came from . It looks like you could make it a dually with just a bolt on .
I bought a 1931 Ford model A truck cab and bed, and was surprised to discover that most parts are available and being reproduced by various companies. Good job so far... the paint still looks great.
Nice looking old truck. Looks to be in excellent condition other then needing a few things to be new again.❤
Love seeing it roll with the snow. Like a high def scene from the 1930s! Beautiful! Like a picture!
You always put so much effort into your videos, it’s incredible. Great work!
What a cool old vehicle. Nice work
Built by people , repairable by people , simplicity at it's best , real nice video .
Thank you for showing us this old truck.
the truck looks very good for having been neglected outside for 30 years. it looks like it may have been restored and painted not long before it ended up sitting. makes you wonder what happened. why someone would just forget about their sweet model A
Such a beautiful truck! I hope we get to see a full restoration back to its former glory. It deserves it.
No presto. Get running. And leave like is. Has character. Like it is.
Resto opps. Finger slipped
@@jeffscott8323 A restoration doesn't have to get rid of the character or the original parts that are still OK but would prevent things from getting worse in the future when it comes to rust etc.
@@PuffyRainbowCloud Everybody wants to repaint, redo and upgrade classic cars. That is basically undoing the history. Rust can be taken care of without drastic measures. The glass can be fixed without having to replace the whole windshield with crack repair kits and stuff. You saw in the video that he had the rims sandblasted and painted with rust preventing paint. The paint on the body is well preserved though and does not need to be redone. I guess the wood bed could be sanded and lacquered though, that green paint looks gross. 🤢
These videos are absolutely amazing, and yes I want to see more of them cleaned up!
Literally a masterpiece of a an ole Truck verry happy still folks like you with a heart to bring’em back to life ! Great content !
I don't know much about mechanics but you make it enjoyable and engaging to watch, keep it up :)
Man that thing still looks great! It deserves a full restoration! Nice job!👌😎👍
Looks great but you want to restore it?? Makes no sense
That truck is BEAUTIFUL!! She's from a simpler time when things weren't so fast and complicated. How easy is that gorgeous girl to work on! I love it 😀! Great video!
What a beauty! Had an old beat up '51 Ford 1 1/2ton (flathead V8) in the '70's, same green and love the colour, wish I could have given it he the same attention as you did for this old beast, great job! Cheers from BC Canada!
Beautiful job, nice video. The simplicity of the Model A is fascinating. There's is a similar truck near me in the Bronx.
From the shapes of the headlights and radiator shell, this appears to be either a 1928 or 1929 AA. I admire your rescuing these great old vehicles and making these videos. Great entertainment on a Saturday morning in Thailand!
The indicator panel looks like the ones on a 30-31
@@Unus_Annus_ could be aftermarket, but idk all those old fords were basically the exact same for like 30 years
@@nitroxylictv I’m pretty sure it’s a 31
Absolutely love this guys thoroughness. He is showing all steps like a true pro! Thumbs up 👆👆
Dude you make us proud! That truck sure is a beauty and glad that you’ll be showing us the restore side of things!
That truck is Beutifull love your videos you find some amazing classics 😁👍👍👍👍
Been to long glad you back
Yeah sorry been having trouble getting parts for these old cars and trucks
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 oh it’s alright love the videos man
Thank you for finding and saving this old Ford.
I also have a 31 AA driver.

Love my dad's old truck!
(Same color, even!)
Another old rig rides again!! Thank you! Love these! 😊
That’s a good looking old truck I hope to see a lot more of it
Beautiful truck. The antiques are SO amazing...especially when they are not "hotrodded" (aka trashed).
Trashed. 100% agree.
Hot rods are badass
Good job getting it back to drivable looking forward to seeing the restoration series thanks for the content 👍
Awesome truck! So good that you saved it from being scrapped - it's far too good for that!
This will look an absolute *gem* when it's fully restored!
Remember working at my uncles radiator repair shop around 1997. Loved working on cars built before the mid 1980’s because they were tanks and had plenty of room under the hood. Yanking the radiator was easy peasy.
Any of the newer, and especially foreign models, were incredibly tight and I’d end up with bloody knuckles trying to pull the radiator.
Life lessons from a Gen X guy.
Easiest radiator I've ever seen is my '78 Fiat 124. 4 small nuts and the hoses off and it pulls right out!
gen z, im 19, and after helping my grandpa and my dad rebuild an 85 sierra half ton a few years back I can definitely say we have gone backwards in vehicle technology. The safety, creature comforts and plushy interiors are extremely unnecessary when you realize the only reason cars are forced to be safer is because everyone wants to drive faster! I guarantee going 40/50mph freeway speeds in the 70s and 80s your car would fair the same in a wreck as a new car going 90. I mean I guess if you want ice cold AC and recliners for seats but I would take any classic car over the best modern car. they are so much easier to work on and last longer plus they dont have many electronics that you have to be weary of.
I massively enjoy these vids
Great video it's so cool to see young guys take the time to keep the old stuff out there running looking forward to seeing more videos
Nice job getting her running. Thanks for sharing
It looks great with the rustic box, but I'm wondering if you'll clean up the wood as well, or paint it, or replace it maybe with natural colored wood? It will look good no matter what. Congrats!
I can't believe my eyes that the truck ran with so (relatively) little wrenching. Imagine trying to bring some complex digital monstrosity from 2022 to life in a hundred years.
Actually, not that hard to bring either mech or electronic car back to life!
@@devilsatan2973 Assuming one can get the electronic parts in a 100 years when they're hard to get sometimes now.
Thanks for your tireless efforts. What a beautiful Model A Ford. 😊🌼💚
Very Cool ,I love those old trucks. Great job bringing it back to life.
I was once told by an old timer that with some makes of old gravity fed motor vehicles if the fuel volume was below a certain value they could starve for fuel on steep inclines so driver's used to get around that by reversing up problem hills.
You're braver than me, I would have been standing around the corner when airing up those old-school lock-ring wheels the first time!
💥
Enjoyable session with the 31 A truck. Seems you are having lots fun and hope here! I never get tired of the old things our parents grew up with! Always enjoyable here on your channel as well!
I love seeing these old vehicles fire up and do what they were designed to do. Warms my heart.
What a find. Great old truck. My uncle had one just like it to haul coal and firewood. Wish I could find one like that. I'm curious about how you found it and what you had to pay for it. Really enjoyed seeing one again. New subscriber now.
the history of ownership would be interesting on that one! I bet the first owner kept it pristine and luckily subsequent owners updated along the way, nice
Great videos! I really like these old trucks.
I hope you will be able to post more stories like this one.
You are doing a great service to these earlier vehicles and the rich history of what once was.
I love this channel. It brings me back to the good old days with my Dad and his friends. Great content
Greetings from U.K. , love your content bro
My Grampa was an electrician back in the 1930's and 40's. His work truck was a 1931 Model A similar to the one in this video.
😎
You come up with the coolest cars n trucks on CZcams to make will it run videos. I'm glad this one seemed like it wanted to run and didn't take as much as some you've fought with. Either way you seem to get them going. Beautiful truck!
Keep up the Great content.
Imagine myself very very old man sitting in a chair and watching tv and someone young comes to startup my old rusty car. Happiness juice!
Как прекрасно сохранился ,это шедевр
Обычный
А ты 🤓 по жизни
Awesome truck! Can't wait to see it driving on the road again. Any updates on the '29 GMC? I thought you would have that thing in the shop by now working on the cab.
So sweet. Half expected to see Laurel and Hardy get out of the truck wearing their bib coveralls. Great job on this success.
Really enjoy these "will it run" videos. Especially when there are no cuts in what you're saying! Great to take in everything that you're doing
If it's been sitting that long you should have removed the distributor, and poured oil down the hole to fill the lifter gally. The main bearings are gravity fed and are dry and the dipper tray was probably dry also.
That's a nice truck, what kind of compound did you use to bring that paint back to life?
Maguires number 7 you want a compound that doesn’t cut to much or you will cut through the paint in a heartbeat the paint on this old truck is super thin
That thing looks great for its age. Great job bringing another back to life
Very gratifying to see a truck like that, very beautiful perfect, give me a hug, I live in Brazil São Paulo, hug perfect work
You bring in a lot of rare trucks, but why not start a complete refurbishment series of trucks or cars and bring them back to life Especially 1929 gmc truck ?
I am in the process of doing that just like the gmc trying to get the parts in before I start the restoration it takes months sometimes to get parts also the diamond t truck will be restored on here and the 40 ford and the 28 gmc and many more
