Nice to see a young couple "equally interested" in a project like this. This says a lot about the both of you as a couple.
Oh wow, that is so kind of you! Thank you for such a nice comment!
Oh boy, you both look so young. I'm glad you are planning your hobbies and how you want to conduct your lives and future. Good luck with the truck.
I’m loving your vintage projects. This should become a series!
You can always add a little two cycle chainsaw oil and mix it with the fuel to help lube the carb and valves on an engine that’s been sitting for a long time.
Surprised you started it with the fuel connected to the tank. Pull the tank, take it to a radiator shop and have it boiled out then reinstall. Clean the lines, and you'll be in good shape. Happy for you guys. Hearing it run is a great motivator. Thats a solid lifter cam, so you may want to take a look at the valve lash, that would help it to run better. Reach out with any question, I just went through all of this with my '58 Ford.
or hook a n auxiliary gas can to the fuel line temporararily
@@tomschweikert9537 Boat gas tanks work really well for that since they are setup to hook up a fuel line.
If you can swing it buy a new gas tank now, It will save you a lot of trouble. You can blow out the fuel line between the tank and pump. The carb will more than likely need rebuilt. Nice solid truck, just needs a little love.
Yep get a new tank my frend
Positive ground will definitely mess with your head. I have a 52 6V positive ground and wiring the ignition was like reading a book upside down. Great work!
Connor is hilarious😂
“I wanna thank my parents” 😂
It's so cool to see you and Connor as a couple doing things you are excited about! It's fun seeing his personality.
She runs good for a tired old truck. Will be fun to watch as the cobwebs come off and the shine starts going on! 🙌🏼
My boyfriend is obsessed with this series. He keeps asking me every week if there‘s a new video 😂 we are re-watching right now!
It was so exciting when the engine finally turned over! My husband and I let out a Wooo whooo! Can’t wait for the next video! Have fun you two!
Aww! I love that you guys watch our videos together!!
@@OurLittleNest well it’s funny because I started watching you a couple of years ago on your other channel and he would be sitting in the room and wasn’t interested in antique shopping and 50’s housewife haha (I loved that stuff) . But then when you got this channel and you were working on your house he all of a sudden would say, hey, let’s see if that young couple have a video! He loves watching your channel! We are parents to men and women you’re age so we enjoy seeing you both grow together as a couple and all the fun you’re having restoring the camper and now the truck. God bless you both!
That‘s so cute! My boyfriend was never interested in Emelyne‘s videos before this channel, too. Now we can watch her together, which is super awesome. This is our favorite channel! 😍 we watch it religiously!
You may want to consider draining the old gas out of your fuel tank especially if it has been using ethanol. The alcohol in ethanol turns to jelly if it sits very long. I bought a 1972 Chevrolet 3/4 ton from Kansas that had run on ethanol, the engine ran but the carburetor needed a complete overhaul as the accelerator pump was not working, which in turn made driving a bit of misery. When I took the carb apart it was rusted and corroded inside, I finally had to find a good core to rebuild. You probably have room for a good in line fuel filter (the kind you can see through) NAPA has them (I see you are using NAPA battery cables). To make any engine run you need three things: fuel (clean gasoline), compression (valve adjustment and piston rings), and ignition (spark plugs, plug wires, points, condenser, rotor and cap). Each one affects the other, so make sure all three are in good shape. I would use Marvel Mystery Oil in your cylinders instead of WD40 and Marvel Mystery Oil is a very good additive to your crankcase oil and gasoline too, that's why they call it a marvel. It has been used by mechanics for as long as I can remember. As for your brakes, inspect each wheel cylinder on each wheel for leaks. Also, check the master cylinder brake fluid level. If you guys are lucky, maybe a good bleeding and flushing of the brake lines will at least get you enough brakes to stop from hitting your new truck! It has been my experience that you will probably have to do a complete brake job sooner or later once you start driving your pickup. Concentrate on making it mechanically sound before putting chrome wheels on it! Good luck with your project, it's good to see a young couple working together, that's how GOD intended it to be.
Wow the memories and stories that you guys are creating for a future family is awesome. May the Lord continue to bless you and keep you guys in His perfect will for marriage. 💕🙏🛻🛠🧰🔨🧰😉
My Dad was a mechanic he's since retired but watching this has reminded me of helping him in the garage. P.S. the truck reminds me of Mater from Cars
Oh wow! Such a sweet memory!! I actually gave her a temporary name of princess tow mater😂 So I’m glad it reminds you of mater too!
@@OurLittleNest that's perfect!
Yes the old ones were positive ground. Yall are so lucky I had a 49 6 cylinder engine 3 speed in floor. Loved that old truck
Y’all are the coolest people ever!
Aww thank you!
Just found your 1952 Ford F1. Looking at your paint color, my folks had a 1951 Ford Custom that
was painted seafoam green. That’s a very light green color. Good luck on your truck revival.
Seafoam yes! I said that under the under vid! Perfect color
I would have loved so much to see the Jeep Wrangler transformation as well!! But i’m sure this one is going to be even better because 50s cars are so special! Btw, your channel is great, i love how you do these things your natural way!!
Thank you so much! That really makes us so happy to hear!
I had a 55 Mercury which was also 6 volt positive ground. This was quite common back then. Check master cylinder for fluid level then look at the back side of each wheel for signs of wheel cylinders leaking.
I have no idea what's going on but I am enjoying it hahaha!
Hahah same😂
Also. You should have a push button to start it. The ignition switch just turns it on.
Yes! We talked about that in the video and pushed it, it did not start
Looks like a lot of work ahead but you guys can do it 😌
It's so cool that you're working on this project together! I love learning things in the shop when I work on vehicles with my fiancé. Enjoy the memories you're making. Can't wait to see the end product! ❤️
hey! what a coincidence, i am rebuilding a 52 ford f1 with the same yellow and white colors! i’m working on basically the same truck only the one i’m restoring is a v8. how crazy!
How cool! How is your project going?!
Nice new subi here👏🏻
I’m getting my 52 as well, Wish me luck with my restoration 🙌🏼
Good to see it runs. A good option is putting a T-5 transmission behind your 215 inline 6. This will give you synchronized gears and a usable gear selection range for modern roads. Not expensive and been done several times. You can also gain free horsepower using headers. This will help the truck breathe better.
That's what it all about . the first start, that will put a grin on your kisser, it's all downhill from now wait until you take your first road trip you will love it I promise .
We are so excited!! It gives us even more motivation to keep going!
Congratulations!!
Glad to see your RUclips family has been help you out ❣️
I have a 1952 Ford that me and my dad done a frame off restoration it took 15 years to complete. It has a Mustang 2 front end a 351 Windsor engine 9" rear end.
I'm so happy for you guys.
Best thing would be to get rid of all the old gas. You may have to Remove the sender. If it has a sock or (strainer) it will be clogged. Clean inside of tank I would guess it’s not the worst but definitely has some chunks of old gas and dirt/rust. The only way I would do this is by removing the tank. If this doesn’t seem do able in one day consider hooking up another source of fuel seen in other videos or mount a fuel cell in the bed. Don’t forget to install or replace the fuel filter. I know you will do great. How ever you go about it. Joe
The gauges appeared to be working...if so then it ran out of fuel. I would put a in line fuel filter on it and change it once a year. Another thought once the engine warmed up was the choke still closed? Great project! I enjoy my '50 ford f1.
Good to see it run,make sure you have fluid in the master cylinder before you pump the pedal or it may stick,hood is 51,start button is a ground,did you see carhenge, when you where here?
This is sooo fun!!its like the little engine that could but a truck!!idk why but the truck is so stingken cute and I know You2 are going to turn it into a gem.please stay safe and healthy..love ya ✨🙏💖
Aww!! That is such a cute comparison, I love that! Thank you!
Thats amazing!!! So glad to see you guys put life into the truck, I can’t wait to see when its all fully finished! 😄
Thank you! I'm so excited to start the interior and exterior restoration!
At first, congrats! for the truck.. looks very good and is a great project. I have the same truck and finish 2 years ago. Honeslly and because my budget was very reduce, i didnt live in the states and I already got the chance to drive it for years as it original was, i decide 5 years ago to make the chasis swap. I keep my origial chasis, with every on it, in case i decide to get back. Any way, I drive i can drive it every day, with the new engine, disk breaks and C4 transmision. Your look like a 1951, because of the middle vent on the front of the hood. Any way, the "shark face" is the best grill on that first gen of F1. Enjoy the project, me, my wife and now our babygirl enjoy it. I know that car by memory, so any doubt, just message me. Enjoy!
She runs! Have fun. Onward!
Sounds great great find smiles for miles
Nice to see the truck running keep up the good work
Thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS, Connor!!! 🥂🍾
Thank you!
Sooo fun see this new adventure! ❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy it! I was nervous starting something so different but it makes me happy knowing you guys are enjoying it:)
Awesome! 🛻 I can't wait to see what's next.
Could be trash in the fuel tank plugging up the outlet from tank, that could cause stalling out on the road somewhere.....
Really a very very nice truck, hope to see it runnung on you´re next video.
So awesome to watch!
connor saying soo todayyy had me loool
You can buy new fuel tanks. Go to bob drake, dennis carpenter or tanks. Also ebay. It will need to be cleaned at the very least.
'51 F-1 was the last year for the flat head motor. '52 F-1 was the 1st year for the over head valve inline 6 motor.
the OHV-6 had 101 HP and was 215 CI
Aww I love it!! Good luck to y’all
Thank youuu!!
The pickup in the fuel tank is the problem, pull the sending unit.
I would go with a new master cylinder interim cylinders yes you can rebuild them but I wouldn't play around with brakes especially with drum brakes it's too dangerous estrus go with new parts a lot safer
@@blakestone8088 I like drum brakes to but is someone don't know what they're doing and don't know how to set them up right or how to adjust them you can tear them up pretty easy and rebuilding wheel cylinders and master cylinders shouldn't be done by an amateur because if you have any leaks in her cup you got no break it's best just to go with new parts when it comes to the brakes
@@blakestone8088 I've got a 1954 Chevy truck a 1954 Ford truck a 19 47 Chevy truck a 1949 Chevy truck a 1949 International kb3 truck into 1973 GMC trucks and I got a 55 Crown Victoria 53 Ford Crescent line in a 1958 Callison in a 40 Dodge truck I've worked on a lot of old cars I also have big farm equipment like three international Harvesters
@@blakestone8088 I live on an old cattle farm that my great-grandfather and my great uncle's pharmd all the farm equipment was theirs I just inherited but my vehicles I bought
I got an M3 and I rehoned the cylinders and reused all the original rubber, and fuck me if the brakes didn't work perfectly after.
Great going ! Following keenly...(ex ZA!!)
awesome video
It's not an overhead cam engine BTW
Convert it to a dry filter...
Good chance to damage the motor to starting it without cleaning the fuel tank and pipes, or?
I got really nervous when he was about to run into his truck and there weren't any breaks on the truck.
215 ford engine solid truck good project
Thanks!
Old oil bath filter remember them
overhead valve, not overhead cam
Overhead Vslve, not Cam.
Ford 3 speed is easy to rebuild.
Ford went to negative ground and 12 volts in 1956
Did people convert them to 12 volt back in the late 1950s and 60s?
Please tie your hair back and tuck it away, I saw your hair getting too close to the fan belt, and that can kill you if it gets caught.
Y’all are clueless - hope no one gets hurt
