- After sitting for more than 50 years, it's time to take a closer look at the engine in the Barn Find 1931 Ford Model A wide bed pickup. Will it turn over? Will it run? or is it full of rust and sludge? Let's find out.
If you missed the first video on this pickup, here it is:

Well, I'm excited to see where this project goes! Love the old cars. Doing a trans overhaul on my '47 Ford now. Had to pull the engine pan to remove the flywheel. Usual sludge in bottom - oil pick-up screen 3/4 plugged. All fun.
Good idea on pulling that pan. That old oil makes some serious sludge. What is the condition of the rest of the car?
The Junkers was the Preussian landed aristocracy, which especially after 1871, ran the Preussian state & military. The most famous Junker was Otto von Bismarck.
Very good filming from on the ground under the crankcase.. We, the Audience, got it perfectly...
Interesting. Thanks
Aaaah the teardrop recess in the firewall, definitely a 31.
Yessir.
I’ll be watching.
Thanks
Enjoy your new winter project--Spring will be here before you know it!😉
Thanks. The sooner the better. I've already had enough of winter.
@@Maine_A_S No snow yet on the NH seacoast, which is good, if I want to work on my current project I have to do it outside! My coupe is in the garage (10x12) and I'm not putting that out in the weather.
@@glennnickerson8438 We had a little snow but it's all gone now. What is the current project?
@@Maine_A_S I have a 66 Rambler Classic sedan (making a Gasser out of it). Has a 61 Econoline straight axle under it. It was a Southern California car I paid $500.00 15 yrs ago (life really gets in the way). My driver is a 41 Willys coupe (steel car). I've owned it for 35 yrs. In between I did a 36 Ford pick up (that was a 20 yr project), but had to sell. Drove it for a couple of years. Would like to do another early Ford but everything is up there in price. Thanks for your channel! I think the 4 banger will be alright and that truck is sweet. I mix automotive paint for a living and have formulas for Model A and early v8. If you need anything let me know, we can always meet up at Epping.
@@glennnickerson8438 Thanks. Sounds like a great collection.
😮nice work, no bs.good luck with your new truck, I know you will be driving the heck out of one Sweet ride.
Thanks for watching.
Too bad about the 2 cylinders. Hopefully it will work out. Either way, the truck is definitely worth fixing up and making it road worthy. Looking forward to the next video!!
Thanks for watching. I'll get it going. One way or another.
This is excellent! Recently found you on Instagram and I’m just digging into your videos now. This one is a gem. I’ve been dying to find one in this condition. What a great find. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks
Done well.
Thanks
Wow an exhaust heater
Yes. They are a pretty neat piece.
Whats up Maine?
Same old. Dark and cold.
Are Model A's expensive to buy with work needed ??
There are decent deals out there. The really rough projects that need a lot of work can be bought for $2,000-$3,000.
I'm new thank God your not going that route!
Thanks for seeing it through. I probably scared off a lot of viewers with that opening.
I think she will run again
We shall see.
Okay, you got me there in the beginning, I was just fixing to quit watching. Phew, glad I didn't.
Haha. Thanks for sticking with it. I'm sure I probably lost a few people with that intro.
You lost st e as soon as you said LS...
You should keep watching. You'll see it was a joke.
