    Just one word. "TENACIOUS"!
    Who'd have thunk it would ever run and actually drive again........
    All of my vehicles were running perfectly when I parked them in the shed some 40 years ago but it has been a spell.

    I was laughing my ass off. It was a killer when it finally caught and made smoke as thick as fog. Kids, don't try this at home. Flat heads never die. That was fun. I'm glad you saved this old Dodge from being scraped, and Pablo was smart to get scarce (he looks like he'd been rolling in the mud). Thanks Brent. 👍😎🍺🕵🏾‍♂️🎸🎵👽🧙🏼‍♂️🥂

    I had a 1952 Dodge panel in 1972, I was 20. Got it for $75 in Bellingham and drove it to Santa Barbara (1200 mi.). I put a 327 & automatic, out of a wrecked Vett. in it. Hippied-up the inside 8-track, shag carpet, paneling, etc... Painted it bronze, chrome side pipes under running boards, chrome rims w/ baby moons, and flames on the fenders. After I got married sold it for $1600. Wish I still had it. Loved your video - I could talk about my Dodge all day.

      A heads up for you Larry. There's an newer low mileage 5.7L hemi, auto trans, and transfer case listed in Kijiji Timmins or was it Facebook Marketplace for $1000. I had dreams of plugging it into Rat Rod Fargo but the guy wants a fortune for it and living on CPP&OAS doesn't allow for fun at that level. Or the guy with the Fargo also has a 5.9L cammed and Edelbrock intake and carb, price unknown. Hope this might help your search.

    In his New Mexico trilogy [the Milagro Beanfield War, etc...], John Nichols talked about the "vestigal horses" of Northern New Mexico. Every little homestead has a horse or two grazing in the pastures. Nobody rides them, they are left over from a time when people made their living on horseback. Your old Dodge makes me think again, as I often have, of the "vestigal pickup trucks" of the American Midwest. Almost every farm or ranch has an one or more late 40's pickups parked behind the barn, or out in the back 40. Nobody drives them anymore, but they were built so well that a lot of them are capable of being rennovated. They are part of our history, built in a time when people depended on their truck to get done what had to be done. Thank you for putting the effort into this old Dodge. I can't tell you how much of a kick I got out of hearing it run.

I think everyone else on the web would have quit after the first head-off clean-up left us disappointed. Then when the head went back on the second time and still no joy in Mudville I was sure you'd quit can't-win-'em-all-style. But no, you stayed with it beyond all reason. I don't know why you did that either, but the fight was good for more than one LOL. Thanks.

    If you can't find 'em....grind 'em. Remember...you get a lot of car if you can drive the car off the lot ! Love your persistance Sir. Well done !!
