  • Barn Find '28 Model A Roadster Pickup makes it weekly run to the dump and recycler. This Model A has never strayed from it's home of Alexander Manitoba. My brother first bought it in 1975 then sold it on years later but eventually got it back. He uses it for his weekly dump run and plans on leaving it just like it is. Interestingly, his shop was the original Ford dealership for this part of Western Manitoba back in the 20's and 30's.

    I'm really old dude and I get all inspired when I watch something like this , I love machinery and machine work and junk yard dogs that know how to be happy.

    I have a 1929 Ford Roadster pickup myself. All steel, but has been modified ‘just a little.’ It’s tubbed as you can see in my profile photo, and has a BDS 6-71 blown SBC. Has other body mods as well. Not on the road as of yet....but some day soon.
    It’s one of those one step forward and two steps back with a champagne taste on a beer budget.

      First one I rode in had a south wind gasoline heater it flashed back the driver calmly shut it off on way to school needed new underwear 🤗 think about a gasoline fired heater w. Gas tank under the dash was joined to spark and vacuum.

    They don't make em like they used to. That model A is a testament to the type of will power that generation had ours seriously lacks today.
    If that model A could speak our generation would bow in awe to that model A's generation's testament. Sad our generation rather then learn from the past abuse it as a stepping stone today.

    Notice what he did when he parked by the sidewalk? The truck was still cold so he set the throttle so the engine would idle faster. I wish to God you could do that with modern cars, is a choke button too much to ask for?

      In theory. John is such an integral part of the town and has done a lot for the community. That buys him a little leeway to use the old truck as he does. The town is pretty remote and what you see in the video is it.
