Hello Jonothan, Thirty years ago I bought all the remaining NORS of black rubber custom fit floor mats from a family owned parts house. They are rolled and still in boxes. I will look to see if I have one for the Nash. If I do ,I will send it to you free of charge. I love to see old cars being resurrected. You always show such respect for the " old iron" that it is admirable. I will look in the next week or so and let you know. Until then be careful out there and continued good luck with the NASH and Chevy panel.
You are very kind Anthony. Thank you for your gesture; we the subscribers, are always thankful and respectful to those who donate any parts or help for Jonathan and his projects. We all love the old iron! Chuck in NE Kansas
I used to do that with Dad on his station wagon. A 1960 Dodge. When it was really tight on the rear axle shaft He would heat the center of the hub with His torch. He had Nash brand auto's when I was really little. Keep up the good work.
The Good thing about Nash is the used already available common brake system parts that GM and other companies used. Johnathan W this old Nash looked like it was kept up during its driving days. Which makes a world of difference in getting a car back on the road. Love the Videos on this car.
Jon... wonderful that you are bringing "this ole gem" back to life. Better yet that it's going to Jordan. What a legacy you are leaving him...along with Noah (your trusted helper). Life lessons, along with mechanical skills will stay with them forever! Good on you!!!
Great car, it brought back some childhood memories. My father had one just like it. It was our family car for years. Great car , thanks for reminding me of some great times and memories of my dad
Back in the '60s when I was in high school my cousin drove one of these that he had gotten via his uncle's will. It was very deluxe with power windows and seats.
Man it's been a long time since Iv'e seen a brake puller like that. My dad had one and it was old then. I'm amazed at the condition of those brakes. Nearly new. If it wasn't for the condition of the cylinders (probably rust pitted), I'd just clean and lube them and put it all back together. Because of the age though, you're right to change the wheel cylinders. Never going to find any shoes that are better though
Also,I see the OD cable is pulled out.They have to be parked that way or be sure the emergency brake is on because it wont hold the car,Or it can be parked in reverse to hold it.Above 28 mph or somewhere in that range it will automatically kick in and out like passing gear on an automatic transmission.Does it still have the switch by the carb on the throttle linkage?There should also be a relay that looks alot like a horn relay that the other end of the wires on that solenoid hook to under the hood.
This is pretty much how I had wanted to spend my retirement. But, I've had multiple issues with major blood clots in both lungs. So, without an oxygen tank I can barely move about. BUT I'm really enjoying watching your work and progress! Cheers!
Have you thought about using a 65 Mustang gas tank? If your trunk floor is flat, do some measuring, cut the trunk floor out, lay the tank in and mark your bolt holes, drill them out, lay down some sealer around the edge, lay the tank in and bolt it down. This works really well with many of the old cars out there. Especially the orphans like you have. You won't have the spare tire well anymore. But you can always weld a spare tire hold down to the top of the tank before you put gas in it. I did this on a 50 Ford I had once. Almost looks factory. Clean up the floor and paint it, nobody will notice it.
I've found it helpful to put a dab of grease on the threads of my drum puller. That way I don't feel so bad about whooping on it so hard. While I always make sure the tapers are smooth, clean and dry before assembly I do put a tiny bit of Never-Seize on the threads before I tighten the nut. In my 50 years of working on vehicles with tapers (Studebaker, Willys & early Fords) I've actually come across a few with the hubs cracked in the keyway from over tightening. Everybody has there own torque specs. I follow the ones in the 1950's Willys factory torque specification book because it's the only one I have. I'll bet a Nickle you can hone out those wheel cylinders just fine. If you have the old machine for "Arcing" the linings that should help too.
Great video,watching your videos reminds me of my life 50 years ago at 12 year's old in rural sevier county tennessee,our neighbor jack scott,much older than me had three vintage vehicles,a two door 1957 chevrolet car,a four door 1957 chevrolet car and a four door oldsmobile car and sometimes he would let me help him work on his cars doing various things,i learned a lot and will never forget those good times,keep going sir,iam looking forward to the next video.
On my 53' Desoto they don't recommend beating on the end of the axle like that. The book says it can cause damage. I did have to use the same tool you are using to get the rear drums off. It didn't require quite as much pounding as yours did even though it had been 30 years since anyone had been in there. I was very happy when it came apart, having never used that tool before.
The control under the dash for the overdrive is a manual lock out.When its pulled out it is locked out.When pushed in it allows the overdrive to kick in and out using a kickdown switch on the carb linkage that activates a relay that kicks the solenoid in and out.There were 2 types of overdrive the r10 and r11.The r10 had 3 planetarys and the r11 had 4.Im not sure which one that one is but it will say on the tail shaft.Also,several of those parts will interchange between brands of car because Borg Warner made the OD for alot of companies.That solenoid is about $400 for a new one.I have one thats on a Saginaw 3 speed for my 55 Chevy.The planetary was grenaded so Igot enough stuff to make it a direct drive for now.
Just installed a 1961 Chevy passenger 3 speed in my '77 C10 'Heavy Half' last year with the Borg Warner OD. Makes 'out of town' driving quite nice with the stock 3:73 gears. Had one in a '58 Impala YEARS ago. Really liked that option.
My transmission is a 66 Saginaw with the 7 bolt side cover and I believe it was originally for a pickup because 2 of the transmission mounting ears are tapped and it has the truck bearing retainer.I got another tail housing and main shaft to make it a direct drive.Im gonna keep all the OD parts and Id like to eventually get a good planetary.
If the Nash fuel tank hasn’t been reproduced, sometimes sourcing a tank that will work without extensive modifications can be a challenge. GasTank RENU will save that original tank, and as shot as it may seem, it will turn out fine. It’s not cheap, but it’s the way to go. The Packard needed a new tank but none were to be had, so GTR was used with great results.
Really great to have a favorite RUclipsr!! I’m so happy I found this Chanel, thanks johnathan. It’s always a present to watch a new video you put out! I can’t wait every time!
Very nice Jonathan. As you can tell, we (your subscribers) love this old Nash. In that it's going to Jordan, we love the work and experiences that you and Jordan and Noah have with this old iron beauty. Keep up the great work! Hey - that front license plate - what's the logo/inscription on that? I couldn't see too well. Thanks again, Chuck in NE Kansas
Not many miles since the brakes were redone I'd agree. Barely any dust on the springs and they still have their color showing. Those would probably be good for quite a while of daily/cruise in driving. They're cool old cars. Thanks for sharing your progress!
I got an old hub puller like that! Came in handy when I did the rear brakes on my old Jeep FC150 years ago.... Don’t look like those brakes are gonna need much work. You guys got lucky!
I couldn't be happier for you. Remembering the engine, this is a 360 degrees and I like you have worked on much more worse on condition. Those wheel cylinders look similar to light duty pu's and cars. I had one of those wheel pullers in my tool chest (mine was made in china) and made to hammer on. I did ruin the end of one dodge axles by hammering so much on. I kinda leaned away from that rear axle style because of that keyway and hard to work on style. They were going out of style as I came about mechanicing. Thanks again for sharing one of those cars that is just a rare beauty
That is a Borg-Warner overdrive trans. never use modern standard 90 wt oil in it.Use GL-1 90 wt oil only. the new hypoid gear oil will wreck it.Info and parts can be found at www.fifthaveinternetgarage.com . I have one of these overdrive's in my 1940 Studebaker and are great once you know how to use and care for it. Enjoy watching the many projects that you are working on, great stuff for an old car guy like me!
Did quite a few of those years ago most times a little condensation gets in the sleeve and I used a bit of Emory cloth to the bore and unless it was really pitted I never had one go bad on me after rebuild.
looking great guys!!!!!!!! when i seen jordan swinging that big hammer, i thought back to the vid "a tree attacked my dad"!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!! i really like the nash, i think its gonna be a cool ride!!!!!!!!!! take care!!!!!!!
Ever heard horror stories of those drums popping off violently? I’ve done this a few times on early Fords with no problem. But a few old timers have some crazy story’s about this.
I am amazed that the adjuster turned. Looks like it's a winner. Are those placement pins on the drum outside? I had a 68’ VW that had lug bolts without positioners and it was aggervatin to line up the first bolt. Thanks for the Nash updates. 1947 was a very good year for many reasons.
I hope young Noah ( Jonathan,s young helper ) is learning a lot because he the BEST teacher too learn from!! Not many now know how to fix these old simple cars, they would sooner throw them away and get something which is compturised!
Jonathan, after you said you were going to rivet new brake lining as opposed to gluing it, it got me thinking. Imagine you could source the proper adhesive without too much difficulty. Brake drum would be perfect mold to apply even pressure on shoes to glue new linings. Maybe a pair of turnbuckles between shoes?
Man you ripped a hole right in the side of that box lol. I'm always curious about the last days of an old car right before it got parked. That brake job probably was done at a SERVICE station or garage that most likely no longer exists.
I own a 48 Dodge truck and I have to say the brake set up on the Nash is far more advanced in design then my Dodge. Nash looks what was and in some cases still used today.
Watch out for the brake dust. As old as that car is, there could be asbestos in there. Who am I kidding; I'm sure you know that already. Looking forward to the re-lining video.
The cable locks and unlocks a sprag clutch The solenoid shifts it. You have to floor the gas to shift into overdrive. you lock it to use reverse. I use truck 2-speed button shift all 3 forward gears 6 SPEEDS. have a lot of fun with people how don't know. But you have to lock it for reverse or you can break it.
That is different to my experience ..The cable lever was a lock out . When Overdrive is allowed , you lifted off the gas and overdrive engaged . When cruising in overdrive , if you momentarily floored the gas , overdrive kicks out and normal gear returns (like Passing Gear ) lifting off again , back to Overdrive . You can only lock out or allow overdrive when accelerating lightly in NORMAL GEAR. Maybe a different system but it was Borg Warner .
Love the videos got a question for you. Got a 2005 chevy Silverado hd 2wd has a 4l80 mjp transmission went out. Can I replace it with a 4l80. The only difference I can find on internet is the mjp transmission is setup for slip on and bolt on yoke. Is there a wiring difference? Can't find this out on internet.
Brakes look decent and should clean up OK. Wouldn’ t the shoe linings harden or crystallize after sitting so long? I like this build and look forward to the finished product. Thanks for saving this old girl.
*I Swear, these back wheel breaks look Exactly like the updraft 216 (3/4 ton) Chevy Milk Truck (w/aluminum body) that was my first "car"! [Even the Yellow Springs are exactly the same, which is why i noticed that everything else is the same]. I had to bend an old screw driver "just-so", to get into the wheel from the back side and back off the tightener adjustment(s). And no, the rubber plugs for the adjustment slot were long been gone, so there was a lot of rust to deal with inside. No i did not have a wheel puller, but a sledge hammer and pry-bar work got them off.*
Hello Jonothan, Thirty years ago I bought all the remaining NORS of black rubber custom fit floor mats from a family owned parts house. They are rolled and still in boxes. I will look to see if I have one for the Nash. If I do ,I will send it to you free of charge. I love to see old cars being resurrected. You always show such respect for the " old iron" that it is admirable. I will look in the next week or so and let you know.

More power to you Anthony
You seem to be a great guy those things are rare and thanks for buying what you could and saving them back.

Great job Gentlemen, saving a piece of historical art ...it will be an awesome family car again.👍
great to see old tools used to work on old cars !!!!
I was really surprised how good the shoes and backing plates looked.Thanx for sharing your passion with the rest of us ol gearheads.
Came to the vid as soon as the notification popped up. I love the work that’s going into This car.
Jon... wonderful that you are bringing "this ole gem" back to life. Better yet that it's going to Jordan. What a legacy you are leaving him...along with Noah (your trusted helper). Life lessons, along with mechanical skills will stay with them forever! Good on you!!!
Every time you open and close the doors l’m amazed at how well they work. Old iron, made in the USA...
Great car, it brought back some childhood memories. My father had one just like it. It was our family car for years. Great car , thanks for reminding me of some great times and memories of my dad
You are a great roll model to the young man there and all of us watching, here here Sir.
Nice job Jonathan. Jordan will love it.
Back in the '60s when I was in high school my cousin drove one of these that he had gotten via his uncle's will. It was very deluxe with power windows and seats.
not a bad ole car , Brakes look way better than I expected to see . ENJOYED !

Interesting old car thanks for showing.

Hi Johnathan glad you got a BRAKE for a change ..!!! Great job on that Engine !!!! Byyyy !!!
Cool car! Looking forward to the wood-grain video!
9:27 Notice the Nash is body on frame AND UniBody construction. This made them particularly tough.
Thank you Jonathan !! God bless you and your family !!!!! EDDY
This is gonna be a Treasure when you get done and ready to drive.....I hope it Will stay Stock and NOT Hot Rodded
It's got that "hot-rod" overdrive in it, like that Hot Rod Lincoln. "Slipped it down in to overdrive..." lol Chuck in NE Kansas
They've already done so much to the engine, I can't see them swapping it out at this point!
That is a Borg-Warner overdrive trans. never use modern standard 90 wt oil in it.Use GL-1 90 wt oil only. the new hypoid gear oil will wreck it.Info and parts can be found at www.fifthaveinternetgarage.com .

Ever heard horror stories of those drums popping off violently? I’ve done this a few times on early Fords with no problem. But a few old timers have some crazy story’s about this.
My dad would say the rear springs have gaiters.
Bendix-style self-energizing brakes. Chevy did not get them until 1951. Rear brake springs look new. Cool.
Love seeing new videos of yours, following your updates closely and it's a blast learning new things about these old rides
Great job that a really nice car.
Looks like a motors old shop manual on seat. Good to have !
I am amazed that the adjuster turned. Looks like it's a winner. Are those placement pins on the drum outside? I had a 68’ VW that had lug bolts without positioners and it was aggervatin to line up the first bolt. Thanks for the Nash updates. 1947 was a very good year for many reasons.
I REALLY enjoy all your videos. am disabled now so I only wok on anything when I have to.
I hope young Noah ( Jonathan,s young helper ) is learning a lot because he the BEST teacher too learn from!! Not many now know how to fix these old simple cars, they would sooner throw them away and get something which is compturised!
This car's coming a long way in a relatively short time...it's definitely at the right place now...Good Video
That’s going to be one fine ride for sure. Can’t wait for the next one.
This old gal us going to be sleek. Great video JW
Wow!
Quite the "Fixer-upper"!
Fun though.
That's all going well thanks to your knowledge. Especially nice to get the doors working well
Great progress again, very well done again. I simply love old good lookin' automobiles. This will be a wonderful daily driver for sure.
Best regards.
Really nice work !
Jonathan, after you said you were going to rivet new brake lining as opposed to gluing it, it got me thinking. Imagine you could source the proper adhesive without too much difficulty. Brake drum would be perfect mold to apply even pressure on shoes to glue new linings. Maybe a pair of turnbuckles between shoes?
Whoo! Those wheel cylinders took a long journey! All the way from Duluth, Mn! (the end of I-35 Northbound).
Awesome work!
Jim
Nicely done Sir nice to see Jordon
I really like this old car . Going to be nice great work 👍🏿
I got that same puller. Nice job
Awesome job!!! Gonna make a good one!
Thanks Jonathan
Do a video on how to do fake wood grain .That would be interesting to know how to do it
Man you ripped a hole right in the side of that box lol. I'm always curious about the last days of an old car right before it got parked. That brake job probably was done at a SERVICE station or garage that most likely no longer exists.
Love your videos we have a lot in common I love old cars to I have a 60 t bird that I drive
Do you plan to go thru the front suspension and steering? Kingpins, tie rod ends, etc. I agree it will probably be a nice car.
You need a outdoor 12,000lb out door lift....you will definitely get a lot of use from it
I own a 48 Dodge truck and I have to say the brake set up on the Nash is far more advanced in design then my Dodge. Nash looks what was and in some cases still used today.
It's gonna clean up good!
Good news on the brakes, should make for an easier rebuild.
"Get a bigger hammer" old school way👍 Noah is gonna make you a hand. Lucky Noah learning from the master 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
That was Jordon.
@@jimmyturner3715 my bad, but Noah is still a lucky kid
@@tombob671 totally agree with that.
That will be one cool driver
Watch out for the brake dust. As old as that car is, there could be asbestos in there. Who am I kidding; I'm sure you know that already. Looking forward to the re-lining video.
Thanks.
You try Rock Auto for a wheel cylinder rebuild looks like they have the rebuild kits
Gonna be a beautiful car :)
I wonder if you ever figured out how to use that aluminum piece with the keyhole shape cut into it?
The cable locks and unlocks a sprag clutch The solenoid shifts it. You have to floor the gas to shift into overdrive. you lock it to use reverse. I use truck 2-speed button shift all 3 forward gears 6 SPEEDS. have a lot of fun with people how don't know. But you have to lock it for reverse or you can break it.
That is different to my experience ..The cable lever was a lock out . When Overdrive is allowed , you lifted off the gas and overdrive engaged . When cruising in overdrive , if you momentarily floored the gas , overdrive kicks out and normal gear returns (like Passing Gear ) lifting off again , back to Overdrive . You can only lock out or allow overdrive when accelerating lightly in NORMAL GEAR. Maybe a different system but it was Borg Warner .
Love the videos got a question for you. Got a 2005 chevy Silverado hd 2wd has a 4l80 mjp transmission went out. Can I replace it with a 4l80. The only difference I can find on internet is the mjp transmission is setup for slip on and bolt on yoke. Is there a wiring difference? Can't find this out on internet.
.."if not, we can make somethin"... NOTHING rattles this guy. :)
Brakes look decent and should clean up OK. Wouldn’ t the shoe linings harden or crystallize after sitting so long? I like this build and look forward to the finished product. Thanks for saving this old girl.
What is the purpose of wrapped leaf springs?
do you ever plan on upgrading from 480p?
So what did you do about the rear brakes hydraulics?
No Noah assistamce today? Is the assistance the future driver of the car?
Late model G.M. cargo Van's have a pretty decent rubber fleeced lined matt
..
Did you use high heat paint on the head? Does it need it?
Im surprized that it has a open driveshaft for the year..
*I Swear, these back wheel breaks look Exactly like the updraft 216 (3/4 ton) Chevy Milk Truck (w/aluminum body) that was my first "car"! [Even the Yellow Springs are exactly the same, which is why i noticed that everything else is the same]. I had to bend an old screw driver "just-so", to get into the wheel from the back side and back off the tightener adjustment(s). And no, the rubber plugs for the adjustment slot were long been gone, so there was a lot of rust to deal with inside. No i did not have a wheel puller, but a sledge hammer and pry-bar work got them off.*
Jordan’s gonna be da man, abs you in the ‘59. Can’t wait to see them all done.
Like the nash😊
Nice to see a kid working on a car (streetdrive64) , other than Noah. Lol
I got 1949 Chevy two-door Sudan with 3 speed and overdrive
