Hey Gang! Here is the first of our 1932 Ford BB 1 1/2 ton revival videos! follow along as we get this old girl back to work! Let us know what you think!
Man that truck is cool, although by Saskatchewan standards those old kingpins were barely broken in.
Man, am I bummed I wasn't there for Summer Cotter Pin Showdown! Nice to see Jim winning this one, as he is a little behind on last year's Showdown... Cheers, gentlemen!
With so many "Showdowns", I don't know how you guys find time to sleep!
Absolutely brain bending. Strong's Garage: The last place in the Universe where a 32 Ford Truck goes on the rack for a spindle rebuilt - WITH - not just a trove of handy new bushings - AND - a vintage bushing knock out and trim set - BUT - whipping out a vintage box of new king pins to drop in. Just jaw dropping - and they do it like they just did another one minutes ago.
Thanks for being Ford guys
🚬🐕
That was a great episode. You guys still need an intro but more importantly an outro... even if it's just 20 seconds of your logo.. nothing fancy. That way we can remember to thumbs up. I bet yer likes go up 20%..
..I'm not sure where else on the old tubes you could watch this done.....at least without so much charm....thanks, guys.....
Those tools are invaluable, just like the knowledge to use them, great show.
As my old friend, the retired mechanic said, good tools help, but only if the man using them knows how.
Hi guys. It is amazing how well that old paint was preserved by the grease. My last experience replacing kingpins on a 1953 Chevrolet Belair outside in the middle of the winter in Northern Maine. Let me tell ya that was more fun than I wanted it to be. Of course, mine didn't go nearly as well of yours. Great job guys, it was fun to see the old tools being used for what they were made for.
Nice work, that was interesting to watch guys
I didn’t realise these old Fords have left hand threads. Lovely old truck.
I barely know the difference between a cotter pin and a king pin but I love your channel! Now anytime we see something local that is antique auto related, we think of y'all. ❤️ from Kentucky
When I completed my Apprenticeship I was running a workshop where we had a lot of customers with vehicles from that era. We had these parts kits made by a local company which had various sizes balls,Springs and the ball nuts to repair worn drag links and tie rod ends in metal boxes.
Fifty-two years ago I did my one and only kingpin replacement, on an Austin A35 van. It's a slightly different arrangement but the procedure is essentially the same. She was in dire need, as, if you hit a bump in the road, she'd shimmy like my sister Kate, (No, I really do have a sister called Kate!) so that you'd have to stop, and then take off again, until the next bump. How I envy the setup you have there. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, in Scott's next episode.
Another sweet old girl! Those kingpins came out super easy. I remember changing kingpins on a '74 F100 I had. They had seized and it took a ridiculous amount fire & extreme violence to remove them. I'm looking forward to seeing that BB street legal.Stay safe & stay well!
Red Tshirt makes you look macho buff 💪
Spherical smericale, the earth is an ellipsoid with 3 radiuses. Tools are everything aren't they? Knowing how to use the tool is a bit of a big deal as well. Good stuff.
SUPERB video! It was like going back in time. Excellent tools, superb technique, perfect results. Looking forward to part 2!
This video of your work and original parts and tools was a joy to see. My father was learning his craft when this vintage BB was young. Now, I better understand how his apprenticeship began and why his focus on detail was acute. No mechanical failure ever stopped him from completing the job. WW2, in the Pacific, was a challenge for replacement parts. But, that is when he came to admire machinists who could fabricate something useful out of junk in a jungle. What a great generation of craftsmen to honor with your shop projects! Please never stop showing us the beauty and timelessness of these magnificent machines. ❤
That was extremely interesting guys,looking forward to the brakes video. Sure enjoy seeing the old time tools being used. Continued success.
😍 and I thought the grain truck was awesome
Every time I watch your videos it's just amazing the technology that goes into those early vehicles. You guys put a lot of work into each video.
Fun to watch…..
Well now I know what a king pin is! Great video from a guy that really knows nothing about cars or trucks.
I must say, I must prefer watching you guys do this work, than me.
I am lazy but I don't have the money to pay for it being done either.
Great job with many helpful tips along the way.
Like the original paint.
So simple I think I could even work on it!
Fellows it is such a joy to be able see those old vehicles brought back with original parts and tools. Love the show.
Great video love those old ford's made to last a lifetime
😎👍using the spanner of my forefathers. Weekly if not daily.
Love your channel. You guys and Scott at Cold War Motors have taught me a ton and made me chuckle out loud along the way. Since I'm an old Ford truck guy (I have a 51 F1, 52 F3 and a 70 F250) anytime I see vintage Ford truck videos I eat it up. Keep on going boys, you're doing great.
Very nice video ,this both back some memories. I have worked on a GAZ MM that is in technical terms the same as a Ford. The kingpin and pushing issues I remember and also they have a very odd size dust cap and castle nut. In terms of repairs its really straight forward just as seen in this video. You should really do more of these videos, very appreciated over here.
I’ve never had kingpins come out that easy. Lol. I guess the old stuff was designed and made better. Good job. I really enjoy watching someone else do that work.
Fun video! Amazing you had NOS repair parts. 🤠
DING! Yeah.
Excellent video. Instructive and entertaining
Old truck serviced with old tools and redone with new old parts. Great job
I always appreciate watching you guys work. The old tools, the tips, and the care you take keeping things original. Keep up the great job.
Yep, i did that to my 1952 Intl pickup..lots of fun doing that work. NOS, cant believe you have it. thats a premium charge for sure... Great work. Part 2 will say it all...
Very satisfying..
You guys are Great!
Cheers from Ontario
hey thanks for the informative video cant wait for more

we always learn something or reminded of how to do something we forgot. we love the Canadian sense of humor. is that coffee or ink?
Some years ago I spent an hour with a bookbinder in Victoria, BC. Dude had old techniques and ancient skills and ZERO intention of passing them on. Said he'd had apprentices and they'd all stuck around long enough to learn enough to bugger off and work in their own shops, so now he jealously guards his knowledge. When he goes in the box, those skills go with him.
I am enormously thankful that you lads had mentors who taught you all this wonderful obsolete shit, and that you were interested and faithful to your senseis. Thanks for keeping this information alive.
Wow, great truck, great work, great video.
That was an awesome demonstration.Thank you.
Seeing you guys preserving tools and the knowledge of how to use them is amazing!
It’s right to repair. 🏴☠️🇺🇸🇨🇦👏
Very impressive, this upload...
Re-buildable and adjustable tie rod ends, how wonderful. I didn't know such a thing existed. Great video to watch. 😊
Good episode, thanks.
Nice work!
Top notch👌🏻👏🏻
I really like watching these videos for both the neat old cars and you two guys who are comical and love what you do thanks!
It's amazing how very little difference there is between your '32 Ford truck hubs/spindles and my '67 F100 hubs/spindles. Great engineering is timeless and durable.
I have that tie rod tool in my Dad's collection of tools ,never knew what it was for . Thanks so much you made my day .
HI Guys,,,
What a GREAT CHANNEL you have created! You two make quite an interesting pair. AAA+++
You guys, with your wonderful original tools, are marvellous- such fun to watch too! Thank you 😊
Them boots are made for wrenching. 🎶
you guys are getting better. have fun.
that was rad
Good one fella's
Everything about this is just beautiful.
Never saw a lock pin or King pin come out that easy. Lucky you. You should show how to set the pre-load on that thrust bearing, that's important. Not sure on the B, but on an A that nut for lock pin is like a tall cap nut. It hits the back plate to stop the wheels from turning to far. The tire will hit the brake rods. You guys are fun, nice reamer set. Gibbs is great stuff, lots of folks don't know about it.
Enjoyed the show !
Love those vintage tools, and that you know how to use 'em! (And do!)
I picked up a bunch of rusty old Herbrand wrenches at a garage sale 20 years ago…I beadblasted and painted them at the shop I was working at…still using them today,stronger wrench than anything on the market today.
My 1954 Ford has a tie rod end like that
SG, I love the way almost the entire job was done with hand tools! Just had a couple of 90 year old NOS king pin and bushing kits on the shelf! You guys are too much. Great video!
The cool factor on the old girl is through the roof! Imagine she is almost 100 yrs old and still able to do a day's work! Won't be able to say that for anything built in the last 25 yrs! Thanks Matt and Jim!
Fantastic, your detailed video leaves me thinking I could do that myself, if I had a Ford BB. Excellent looking forward to seeing the next video
Great ideo guys. Love the tools and the skill you have to use them. I can't wait to ride along for the first trip to the elevator.
Wham bam, thank you ma’am. See you next time
By the way, if you ever want to save a worn kingpin or some other worn part it is possible to have them sent out and either "hard chromed" or "spray welded" and remachined to original spec. Chromium spraying is good for rebuilding hoist cylinder rods but also good if you want to put a hard case on a part that wears quickly, so long as it's bearing against a brass bushing or other soft wear surface. These kingpins are identical to what we still see on forklifts and some construction equipment and there's still a fair number of third-tier shops out there that can rebuild parts like these so you can keep them original!
Great job guys I worked for a Ford dealership in Ontario Canada in the early 70s and I have done that exact job on many ford and other makes of trucks I still have in my personal tool set that exact snap on driver set and the dealership had the same cutting tool set as well thanks for the video, great to see
Absolutely BB - Beautiful truck!! :). Thanks for sharing.
Love it, fun to watch. Jealous of all the old tools though.
Hey boys glad to see your video. I am getting ready to do the same job on a 33 BB157". I brought mine back from Great Falls Montana. Also a grain truck. Mine had a PTO driven blower on the right side of the bed to blow the grain into the silos. Last mine ran before I got it was in 1963, threw a rod on #3 of the V8. She still has a Flathead in her now but a bit more power as it is an 8BA engine now. I'd show you a picture of it but I don't know how.
A long wheelbase version of the Ford BB with van body was one of the stars of the classic BBC tv series 'Dad's Army' Apart from Ian Lavender who played the goofy kid Frank Pike, it's the only survivor.
Hey fellas - get ya an old style Goldenrod metal sprayer can and put your barsol in that. It allows you to mist the liquid onto the dust then brush it off like you do. Goes a little faster and still gets the dust off safely - and is a good old fashioned method. Kerosene is another good rinse. Probably preaching to the choir. Thanks for the great video from down in Kansas.
Great video, lovely old truck. The production qualities are coming up too, good to see it. One bit of advice, maybe get the band over at CWM to light off a few riffs for you to play over the timelapse instead of leaving it silent.
My kingpin stories are all on old VWs, so the parts and tools were not quite as big as these. But all the same, lets raise one up to ever body who has had to do a kingpin WITHOUT all the tools, experience, or even a garage.
Very cool guys, informative video, the brakes look the same as my 1929 ford AA.
The brake shoes I am working now, only 6 years old are not that fresh. Also, just getting the whole drum off I thought would need a torch and hammer
Great sound qualtiy improvement. 2x👍
Great truck and great job on the pins. Thanks for the video.
Enjoy content. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent job, well done, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Reminds me of the old VW sedan and micro bus
Great video los of good information Thanks for posting
You guys should add some ragtime piano ambiance during the sped up sections lol
The usual entertaining stuff Keep it up.
Love the content guys, keep it up! Something about that single piston lift gives me the heebiejeebies though.
So cool, great work guys.
fantastic stuff. Thanks fellas
International Harvester used those tie rod ends well into the 1960’s
AWESOME
Fantastic truck fellas!
If you can find any of the Henry L. Hansen tools from that era grab them.
Fantastic work, fellas! Quality workmanship! That was a very enjoyable video! Thank you for it!
