- 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 
Love these videos. No fancy shop with expensive lifts. No pile of new parts worth thousands of dollars. Just a guy with his tools and next thing you know it's running.
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!
Much more interesting to see someone take on a project with what they got
One of the things that makes Vice Grip Garage interesting when on the rescues. @@LitRomney-vb6pz
Hoe would you put lifts into the mud? Go to a tall building if you want to see any lift.
shoot i got a lift and a garage that looks like it’s about to fall but its not its fine it was built with left over material and recycled materials the cinderblocks we used was from a bridge that was tore down

“As you can see, something is still on fire…”
He is so calm and polite, he must have british ancestors.

Sounds like Mr Mackey lmao
@@EoCx1 fires bad mmmmkaaay
No cursing or frustration. Despite working on something most folks would just shake their head at, and even despite a fire, this guy is calm, positive, and brave. Love it
When I was about 10, i was helping my grandad work on something (I can't remember what), he told me never be a mechanic; it'll make you cuss. You know he was right.
Only this man could use the phrase “not that bad” when looking into this motor😂
Hell my truck won’t start after a week
También volver de muy mal genio@@panders55
I have heard both “dadgum” and “oopsie”. Don’t tell me he doesn’t swear.
Talented people doing talented things. In this age of angry videos and antagonism, videos like this are a breath of fresh air. Keep up the truly excellent work!
U are right specially here in Ukraine believe me.
“Hopefully she will start pretty easy”😂 I love this guy
He walks up to a literal pile of metal with the crankshaft laying next to a bare block:
"All right, this ole girl looks like a runner"
Optimist would be a huge understatement :D
The best revival channel on RUclips. You take on motors others have left for dead and start them. No crappy music, no fancy tools, just grit and determination. Perfect!
Check out Marty T. Same sort of thing but in New Zealand!
@@fastfishtoo4991 It might be easier understanding NZ talk than US redneck ; ) JK, I understand 'neck fluently.
I thank him a lot for no musiic.
"Cook the engine at 350" ....until it's golden brown, or oily black, one or the other. 😅 Good work getting the old girl running!
He almost cooked his arm at 350! Love this guy’s guts.
350" (" inches or maybe °'s ?)
@@shawnsatterlee6035 did you notice the other “ at the beginning of David’s quote?
Got to admit the guy certainly is the eternal optimist that never gives up!
I really appreciate your content. So many channels are no longer enjoyable, but your channel has remained true to the premise of getting old iron running. Thanks!
I love these videos.
Same🙋🏽♂️
I love them more
Me too!
You are the king of getting hopeless engines running!! Exciting video!! We got to see snow, fire under the engine, fire in the engine, engine removal, engine reinstalled, leaks, holes in the oil pan etc., but you still got it running. Doesn't get much better than this!!
You are an absolute master at will it run. Some of these other guys need to take notice. You don't complain , criticize, or make excuses, just get the job done. Kudos
I really enjoy your videos! Glad you didn't get burned Brother👍
I never knew a 4' crowbar was such a good multitool until I started watching this channel
That's for sure! I'm expecting him to open a can of soup with it, square up a garage, and chisel a letter into a flat rock Flintstone style.
00:06 "missing some pieces" is an understatement... 😄😄😄
been a main dealer mechanic for 44yrs, you are impressive man... thankyou
Seeing a Model a video… just made my day 1000% better !!
I've been binge watching this channel all day yesterday I can't get enough of these OLD start cold starts
Guilty pleasure, wish my man would get a regular upload schedule these days!... but of course, that's me being greedy 😅
@@anton101101 This channel is a gem. 250k subs, no sponsoring or anything, just straight to the point no BS action. I love it!
Dude! You never cease to amaze me man! You have skills and patience! And the passion to be able to revive this engine’s is beyond belief! Amazing job! I definitely enjoy them!
I love these videos. It is so refreshing to see a young feller bring these old vehicles back to life the way they did years ago and not by just throwing a full assortment of new parts at it like so many do. These videos prove there is still at least one real mechanic left
My dad has 32 BB that's in nice shape, all original. He hasn't tried starting it, but he knows the engine won't turn over. He's thinking about selling it, and for the price he's asking, I believe I can flip the bill. You're a true inspiration to dedication to projects you take on! Thumbs up on all of your videos.
I wish I had just half of this guys automotive talents. Love the channel. Thank you for posting.
This shows just how tuff and resilient the old school technology is compared to todays junk. Well done mate keep up the good work.
Slightly modified Ford-AA was produced in the USSR as GAZ-AA and later, with a new engine, as GAZ-MM. It was the main Soviet workhorse of a truck in WWII and became an iconic symbol of Great Patriotic War, along with T-34 tank. Both could be seen on Victory Day military parades in various Russian cities each year.
Your optimism is incredible. Great work!
You can tell he is just a good person all around just by listening how he speaks . Positive attitude keep doing your work man I like watching
I like that cook the engine at 3:50 for about 45 minutes. It’s a laugh. You have an astonishing mechanical ability ! Working on this long idol engine is very interesting video.
Love the honest commentary and hard work.
Need to name that old engine Lazarus, as you well and truly brought it back from the dead!
Good analogy
👍😀
This brings me joy watching old engines getting revived, how about a 'Will it run' for motorcycles next? Would love that.
You'd love The Bearded Mechanic, aka Craig, formerly of Bikes and Beards. He revives dead bikes all the time.
You sure know how to get those antiques going and I really enjoy watching you work to get them running.
I just discovered this channel not too long ago and I really enjoy watching you start these engines up. There's something fascinating about seeing them want to run even though they're in horrible condition.
Man , nothing but fire 🔥 on this adventure !!! Luv it 💪😎
Excellent! Im a lover of the really old stuff and your videos show folks that they ain't so scary. People, drag these old rigs out of the fields and have fun!
I've learned so much from watching you work on these old jalopys that I tried my own will it run got it running and it was the greatest feeling ever 😊👍
The first "Will it run" video that starts with lighting it on fire! You can't argue with the results though. Well done!
The campfire and the the iron stove was just awesome. Some of the best videos on RUclips
HI JMS,,, MY SON MAX 8 YR.S SAYS YOU HAVE THE COOLEST VIDEOS AND YOU LIKE THE OLD TRUCK AND YOUR YOUNG ...I AM OLDER AND YOUR TEACHING ME SOME THING...WOW !!!! IF THAT OLD TRUCK COULD TALK ,,SHE SAYS AM ALIVE ..THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Jennings, I give you so much credit! It doesn't matter what problem you are faced with, you overcome!!
Kudos to you for having the patience and wherewithal to put life into these old engines. And thanks for sharing your efforts, too!👍👍
You are a savage where old iron is concerned! The fire was sweet! Glad you weren't harmed in the making of this video. Another fine rebirth!
I know Jennings lives in the same world we all do, but his videos take you away from all the stupidity that seems to be everywhere...I am so envious of his ability to be away from it all & just tinkering with old stuff.
This is the best ever! My kinda video.... it amazed the whole family. Particularly loved the 'left hand' carburator.
Hey, I've been watching a few of your video's lately, and i love to watch them, i love seeing you bringing those very old engines back to life, and it is so fascinating to see that even 75+ year old engines can still run, it really displays the good quality of those old engines, and how good they were builded that long time ago.
This was one of the hardest ones you did! Good job. Never change man.
This is one charismatic man, love these videos and his commentary. I wanna see him try and get an abandoned big rig started
Great effort in getting that old engine going. Your skills in fixing engines are amazing. Keep up the great work.
Your a wizard. One of a kind man. I love your videos.
Jennings Motor BBQ. Only the finest dry aged motors served here. 😋😋
Thanks for all of your videos.
Love to see that truck up and running ,then restored it unique ! Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺 😊😊
Ole Henry would be proud to hear it still run today. The newer engines not so much, my 08 V10 sat for 6 months n shes locked up
The king of will it starts lol you are extremely tenacious and talented man. Love the videos
You sure can make the dead get a boost on living again. You must me the luckiest mechanic or should I say the best mechanic that I watch on RUclips. You produce the videos that I would give A++++++++++ every time.
I’m always amazed at the dinosaurs you find to try to get running! Too cool!
Wild the things you bring back to life... I lookforward to your videos. Cheers from SoCal
Gotta be the most optimistic will it start man on the net,puts massive effort into something that the majority of us would put on the weighbridge at the scrap yard,👍👍👍
A true “Grapes Of Wrath” style rebuild. An excellent video, and thank you for making it.
My favorite channel. I love your determination.
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.
Never thought in my whole life I'd see someone make a fire to start a motor. This guy's an anomaly. Right on dude!
Nah... He's alright... It's the majority of the *rest of us* that are the anomalies.
Cheers from Southern Ukraine 🖐️😉🤝👍
Nice to see one of those valve, grinding tools. It's been a long time since I used one of those.
You are an inspiration for me to get at some of my oldies. You have a good attitude about it.
It's always nice seeing a newer model machine working on an older model :) another great video Dustin!! Keep on keepin on!!
Just gotta say that I truly admire your skills. You've got a lot of know-how in that young head of yours.
It's unbelievable you can take something that has sat so long and everyone has given up on except you 👍😁
Old mate's sense of optimism is refreshing to say the least, I'd have said the words "scrap iron" but he isn't fazed by anything. Nice to hear. "Somethin' aint valvolatin' properly" man NOTHING puts him off, this is pure entertainment and I think I'll subscribe. Nothing but respect for him.
Love your reactions😂😂. The engine starts on fire and all you say is "uh oh" 😂.
Nothing short of amazing!
Love how you persevere until you get them running - and they nearly always do. Also, she didn't want to be woken did she. Definitely reluctant to wake from her slumber.
can't believe you got that running!
Your great attitude and patience amazes me.
Great job!
Keep the videos coming.
This guy is amazing
This is great! He is my kinda people. Salt of the earth!
Always look forward to your videos just wish you would make more of them
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 it is absolutely amazing that you get these old vehicles running after sitting as long as they have. I'm looking forward to seeing the continuation on the Diamond T. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
me and my husband just love to watch videos like this 🙂
You are the most amazing man on here. I follow a lot of channels but by far this one is my favorite! Thank you
What ever it takes and nothing is ever a big deal... Just bang on it a little bit harder and we'll replace that later! She runs! Always a lot of fun to watch here.
Always excited to watch your videos. Its very satisfying when you get something that shouldnt run back up and running. Cant wait for more on the cuda. 🙂
I know nothing about vehicles and engines, but boy do I enjoy these videos
How? It's amazing you get these old vehicles running certainly a very patient talent you have! Fantastic vid as always
Just found your channel. I really enjoyed it. You’ve got lots of old treasures out there! I’ll be back
From one Arkie to a fellow Arkie::
You are the king of “ Will it run “
I have a truck exactly like this, and this video gives me a lot of hope that I can get it to run
After 75 years you gave it life awesome 👍
I just love watching wrecked cars getting back to life
You're awesome brother! I love how you take the licks as they come and roll right through it! 💪👊💥appreciate your great content and always staying true!! Thank you..
I remember years ago as a small boy in the 1940's My dad always had me be the Gofer and fire boy building a fire under our old cars and trucks in North West Missouri. It is so funny today if you built a small fire under a car of today it would melt.
Favorite channel on RUclips!
Bloody brilliant, most people wouldn't even attempt that engine but tho and behold she lives again
Love watching these, helps give sleep lowkey
Jennings, where on earth would you be without your ol' girls? You just wouldn't be you!!! Keep up the good ol' work!!!!
I feel like you and merlins old school garage should do a revival together. You guys are the only channels I've seen working on stuff this old.
Well just stunning who would guess that would run , brilliant, can't wait to next episode,
Excellent video Jennings :) also amazing that motor run after swapping parts to help out ! Sounds nice when running to and much more!
I ran to the store to get the hotdogs and marsh mellows. So awesome.
Always a treat to watch you get these old gems running. It's even fun when you don't. This is definitely one of my favorite RUclips channels and I always look forward to the new ones. Keep up the good work!
The dedication you have is amazing
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.
