- Will this 1926 Mack model AB run after sitting for over 80 years. This truck has a 471 cubic inch four-cylinder engine. this truck was more than likely used as a log truck or as a wrecker or maybe as a semi truck to pull trailers out of the woods 80 years ago when it was running the roads The truck still has Goodyear tires from the 1930s on it to be back on the road. This truck will need the transmission cleaned and put back together and water pump seals and a few other things but for the first time in 80+ years we got this old truck running and I got to say runs pretty good for setting that long
Will it run after 30 years
Will it run after 50 years
Will it run after 58 years
Will it run after 81 years
Will it run after 70 years
Will it run after 65 years
Will it run
Will it run after 93 years

"This ol' girl's been sitting for about 400 years, the motor's fossillized, and we're gonna her 'er runnin'"
Lmao weeell
And he gets it running in less than 30 minutes
Best comment ever
Little bit of automatic transmission fluid and acetone, diesel, penetrating fluid. Then we set it all on fire, short the starter with a universal key and we're good to go.
Could a impact drive be modified to use as a starter,like the drag cars.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips.
Thank you 😊

I second that answer
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 could you make an adapter to use the hand crank and a cordless drill?
@@chevy6794 I have tried that in the past even the old gear reduction drills don’t have enough power to turn it over the hand crank gives you a ton of leverage
When you hear the sound of an old engine start up for the first time in around 80 plus years, it's about one of the best sound ever.
RIGHT??? Yeah, me too. I was actually Smiling for the kid BIG TIME when he got her chugging along like a champ
------- Amazing how happy his accomplishment made me. But you could just TELL by looking at the engine / block & the WAY it was moving.... it was in real good shape. Just nice it might be coming to Life again.
Another one is hearing the beer open afterwards.
I'd love to see this ol beauty restored and running on the road again, there just aren't many of these great ol trucks left, please save her!
This makes me smile every time I hear one of these old girls wake up and start living. Makes me feel good to know there's guys like you who can give these old cars and trucks a second chance of living.
Love you guys
Some of them sure put up a fight and seem to have gotten use to being retired.
@gispel7058 this one here was trying. I could feel it saying please don't give up on me
@@justina9137 it's true, these things do seem to have the will to carry on
Came here to write just that, agree completely. If things turn out right, I'll get to do this to a 39 Chevy ton and a half in a few months. However it's just been sitting for 35 years, so basically just parked!
I don’t think I’ve ever rooted for an engine to start as much as this one.
I was holding my breath on every crank.
Same here
@@davidbiros6231I kept expecting him to pass out
Man, I was on the edge of my seat. As soon as the head came off I knew there was hope. A little PB Blaster and some rather does it every time!
It’s like a sports team in the finals 😂 come on!!! You can start!!! 🎉🎉🎉
This ol beauty was made the year my mom was born 1926, I miss my mom, I love you mom.
My Dad's sister was born in 1926. She's still with us. Sharp as a tack.
My mom in 1918. Missing her today on Mother's day ❤
Moja Mama urodzila siie w 1927 roku tez tesknie😊
I instantly remarked that MY FATHER was born 10 years *_After_* this truck was made.
He hasn't passed-on yet, but he's had 3 heart attacks & 7 strokes
...... _But I'm pritty sure Satan doesn't _*_WANT_*_ Him down there_ (he'd be competition)
Probably one of the best channels on RUclips. No one being loud and obnoxious, just a good, funny dude working on old cars. Thank you for all the great videos. I never miss one!
You nailed it. No script, no B.S. and no drama. Just gearhead heaven.😎😎
100% I like this guy, and Vice Grip Garage. His revivals are super addicting and chill as well. He mostly does 1960s-1980s iron.
And he’s a young guy with a vast knowledge of your basic knuckle buster stuff!! I love it!
Puts a huge smile on my face hearing her run like that. What a beauty
Aw, you gave it away! Still, I'll watch it anyway.
This man can get anything to run. When others would of thrown in the towel, he'll get the Ol' girl running. Absolute legend 💪
And he'd soak that towel with acetone, PB Blaster and anything else we can put in there, use it to soak the rust and junk, then for good measure use it again to wipe away the schmoo on the outside of the engine as it's chugging away for the first time since Lewis and Clark drove it across the Continental Divide.
thats amazing getting an engine running that last ran before my grandfather was born
I haven't wanted an engine to live so much since the 1965 film Flight of the Phoenix. Talk about edge of the seat stuff!
I really enjoy your projects. I am 87 and I enjoy the memories you cause for me to recall from my past. Greetings from Indianapolis Indiana
Many more years sir!
Greetings from Texas !!
Sir you are a living RUclips Channel full of content. best wishes
Sending all love and prayers to you sir!
Your honest hard work and determination makes it a real delight to watch you resurrect these old vehicles. The fact that you don't say stupid silly things, throw batteries, or otherwise act like a clown makes it all the better. This one I particularly enjoyed. Keep up the good work.
Man. nice I love this guy. can't stand the videos where they talk like little kids and act stupid !
And I ain't kiddin' ya.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
This one has GOT TO BE one of your very best!! I am so happy that you got that ol'gal woke up from her long slumber!
You deserve a medal for yanking that engine back to life. I'll be looking for follow-on videos that show this as a roller. Amazing accomplishment.
Man im so totally amazed on how you are able to get these dead to the bone vehicles,and you breathe life back into them. It just shows how much passion you have for them keep them going 👍🔧
I love this man. He gets literally anything running regardless if it has been sitting for over 50 years or not
Try like 100 years in some of these videos. Literally impossible stuff where it's just a pile of screws and nothing else and he gets it running
Seein him pressure wash gives me anxiety tho UwU too many opportunities for a direct jet of water to reflect back and rip out your eyes ewe
😮😮😮😢😮😮@@PrestonSteele
@@Dumb_Furry_UwUeh, as long as you’re smart and keep your distance he’s good, plus the spray back isn’t spraying at as high of a pressure as what’s coming out of the nozzle.
Another furry who watches this type of content?!?!??!?!!??!
I know that a lot of you good Americans like our British accents, and we appreciate the compliment, however, the gentleman working on the Mack has one of the sweetest American accents I've heard, he sounds like Trip Tucker from Star Trek Enterprise. His enthusiastic drawl is both entertaining and compulsive to the listener.
A very good video,
Best regards
Us lot over the pond.
Hats off to this guy what determination. Well done mate from Australia
Great job! Actually quite incredible how well built these older vehicles are. I couldn't imagine a 2014 Chevy Impala sitting for 80 years and trying to start it.
What impala lol
Uh,....yeah! Wouldn't happen.
They also made cheap junk aplenty back then. But all the cheap junk is long gone to a junkyard or landfill. So only the quality stuff reaches us today.
@@Mariano.Bernacki That's a good point.
I drove 2 kids to their matric dance\prom last week in a sixty year old car.
I wish I had the patience, perseverance, and attitude of this man.
What a BEAUTY!!! LOVE those old trucks..
I can only imagine all the hard work folks put that bad boy through when it was new and the motor still runs . Yes please keep showing us the whole process to get it completely restored.
Will always appreciate a program that takes me away from the chaos of the world & Jennings does it perfect!👌
Same here my friend . Pure escapism. We sure need it these days !
Agree 100%. I’ll re-watch them and just forget about the world for a few hours.
You are the best. You take on the oldest vehicles on RUclips, and almost never fail. There is just something so satisfying about watching 100 year old vehicles come back to life.
OMG.... It's like Jethro Clampett came to life!! Your perseverance and enthusiasm have been rewarded!!! So many next steps!!❤
this is awesome. I love old stuff, hearing that old engine breathe again after who knows how long just puts a smile on my face
Perseverance and humility make your channel a beacon. Congrats!
porn bot
Awesome ! 👍 I'm surprised the old girl didn't end up in a metal drive for the 🪖war effort .
I am too I believe it was in the woods or on a farm a lot of stuff was hid out on farms back in the 40s
Was probably still in use. Are there any gas ration stickers on it? Back then gas was so hard to find that farmers had to convert to wood gas.
I'm not sure what's fascinates me more: his hilarious accent or his incredible talent of keeping his fingers clean as a surgeon all the time 😂😂😜 great stuff!!!
Gotta love the tenacity of cranking the old girl for 20 hours knowing that if you can heat cycle the engine the rings will probably unstick and she will run better and better. Hats off to you sir. Eager to see how she looks going forward
another masterclass in automotive resurrection young man, be proud...
If I had the money to pay him for the restoration... I would absolutely love to have this truck after it's fully restored. But, I'm pretty much a church mouse looking from the outside in, scratching for crumbs. But I still enjoy watching him resurrect these neat vintage vehicles!!!
What is so fun about a vehicle like this, is that everything you do to it will make it better
Hi from Bendigo Australia. We all know Christine the movie. Old cars have a soul. These guys give life to the soul
I'm never going to be used to seeing a block of rust open up to reveal almost pristine innards. Crazy yo.
That was crazy cool
its like cracking geodes, ugly af rock hiding a amethyst structure inside is amazing
It's like that one dude who you think is broke but you find out he has over 6 figures in his savings account
Old Bulldogs never die. They just look that way.
Beauty in it's purest form.
Will I ever need this knowledge to start a 1926 truck? No. Did I watch this whole video and enjoy the shit out of it? Hell yes.
"We're going to restore it"
Me: "YES!"
Love this! I worked at a Mack dealership for 11 years, we had a restored 1928 Mack , this one hits home! ❤❤❤
This man is an artist. I'm pretty sure this is art.
Awesome job bringing this old girl back to life CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I have watched every single video this man has put out
This should have a show and sponsors at this point. Man this makes me smile.
PB Blaster should at least send him a couple a cases.
@@robj2704 He uses a case of PB on each engine. Give this man a truckload or three.
Those side ports in the engine are just awesome. Must make life a lot easier for diagnosing issues
That old girl sounds good. Can't wait to see her fully functional. And you got a good workout
Amazing!! A huge block of steel (iron?), and just 4 cylinders?? PB Blaster by the gallon. Glad you found this gem, Dustin!!
Hey, how do ya know his first name? I aint never heard him say it!
@@JeffKopis I just wanted to know where his place was, so I looked up his YT channel, and there he was!
This fella got no quit. Hung in there a crankin". Well done young blood
It is great to see these older viehicles coming back to life.
Back in the 70s my brother built a model of that very Mack ! Nice to see it run !
The sound of all 4 cylinders chuffing back to life gives hope. Suddenly those horrible running boards are just bent metal that can be fixed, missing parts to be sourced or fabricated... there isn't much to the truck and you get optimistic.
Well done.
"Prolly try'na turn back into a dinosaur..." 😅 your best one-liner to date!
You Sir are one tenacious individual, great to see you persevering.
You have some tenacity. Never say die. That engine was built to last, and built to keep working, not like the flimsy stuff we have now. Top work young man.
That’s just how older stuff was made, built to last. Nowadays stuff is weaker because companies want to make more money, and what better way to do that then to make customers buy replacements after the previous one breaks?
It always amazes me when I see these vehicles so aged up, dirt and all. But then - when you get to see the interior, the good ol insides of the engine, just specking clean. Just awes me.
I am astonished, I've brought some back from the dead, nothing is more satisfying as hearing something run after its sat for 30 or 80 years, hand cranking is above and beyond call of duty, I commend you.
I'm a Jennings from East TN. My grandfather and his brother was known for their antiques cars and tractors. Travelled to the states surrounding TN winning many car shows. In fact my great uncle had one of the only 2 maybe 3 of the first cars every produced that used lanterns as lights. He sold it to a museum in alabama
Dear Mr. Motorsports, Thank you for all of your efforts getting this truck running. You earned every view. That may be the most physical effort I've seen in a "will it run". Good on you!
What some would discard for scrap... I love that you dig in to the lost and forgotten and revive it for another life.. Great job brother
Love seeing and hearing these old classics come back to life
Music for the soul
Thank you sir for your perseverance may Gods Blessing be with you and your family always
Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures
Can’t wait to see her restored! 🙏 I believe that way back when, the guys called her Betsy!!
I love the enthusiasm on here. The down home banter takes me back to the years that I spent in Alabama.
Absolutely AWESOME will it run, you must have been real sore after all that cranking 😵 great to hear the old girl running again after all that time, music to all our ears 😀👍👍
YOU DID GOOOOOD!!!! Will pray your shoulder is not shot. GOD BLESS.
Best Mac Truck advert ever!!
Thig guy has to be the king perseverance & optimism! 😎👍
Damn, I've been watching for several years now and like you said, this one was the toughest. But that didn't stop you. I don't think anyone else on the planet would have even tried. You're definitely "the engine whisperer".
Excellent job getting the old girl running after all these decades-!! I really was glad to hear what it sounded like.
This man's perseverance is legendary. 😂
I love seeing these old relics come back to life!
Would switch to Dewalt or Makita impact wrench to crank over engine. Amazing it survived the WWII scrap drive.
We have a guy here in NZ called Marty, he's exactly like this guy,no BS very, instructional,and never fails,like this guy,a pleasure to watch,
My uncle would have loved this, he was a big shot at Mack. This is dedication, you were determined to get it running and you have.
This man is a hero!!! He never gives up never!!👍👍
You worked really hard on this one.... but you did it again!! You're a wizard Mr. Jennings! You have just crank started a 1926 Mack truck !! In two years it will be 100 years old and she sounds smoooooth! Great video! Thank you!
Great job , nice project , can't wait to see it restored and shiny 🤩😎👍
Glad you never give up and great to hear the sound of the old beast. running again
Man, I'm glad you had enough "ugga duggas" to get it started because it sounded great!
I definely wanna see one day this thing gets restored back to life, would be awesome to see it running again on the road. I'm not a huge car specialist but iwhat I think is that if the engine works fine, the rest will just be as easy to get it back running.
It’s great seeing an antique machine, long left for dead, come back to life. Though, I have to say, you’re a hell of a lot braver than I’d be with that hand crank.
Keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing it! One day I'll find an 80 year old pile of rust and get it running because of the knowledge and confidence I get from watching these videos
i just do not get tired of watching you bring these old vehicles back to life. in fact, this was one of your best videos yet. we of course get to see the super condensed version of what obviously takes you days and weeks to accomplish but it really is exciting and entertaining and enjoyable. i wish you all the best and please keep up the great work.
We have new efficient truck in market, why spending time on this old one
I’d drive that over any crappy EV!
OK and what about the non crappy EVS like the Lucid Air Sapphire? You're going to leave your options open about driving the non crappy ones huh? 😂
Battery powered junk ..
EV is just BS marketing sales pitch / term
@@ButterfatFarmsnever heard of that company. Must be for a reason don’t u think buddy. I’ll stick to the good ole gas burning oil consuming international combustion engines
Wow looking forward to seeing this old beauty rolling.
Much respect. This Mack certainly tested your perseverance. The engine running was a beautiful old timey sound.
O yeah, i love these necromancers things, i really see souls of these cars, beautiful!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos on getting these old timers running again. You are truly a motor wizard. Best regards aleays
Love the coaxing! "Aw,come on girl'
Music to the ears.... Another great revival !!!
You're a wizard, sir. Well done!
Drive and the right attitude what my generation lacks
that was awesome. Stroke on that thing must be over 6". Love the sound of it idling. Good work - whew!!
This shows what determination can accomplish
You need to do a video on where you found and retrieving these gems
Man the best thing about these is the simplicity of these old engines. I love how they are so bare-bones and down to basics compared to modern crap. Makes them a joy to work on in a way.
That because the feds weren't in the auto design business back then!
Thank the EPA and stupid pussy safety crap for us not having good trucks anymore
You proved 3 things. You are one determined man. They truly don't make things like they used to. And what a brilliant invention the electric starter is. I thought it would surely be rusted way beyond ever running. The synthetic oil they now make from natural gas will probably look almost the same 80 years from now. All the lighter fractions evaporated from that petroleum based oil. Then again, the goo coated the metal, keeping the water off parts.
At first I didn't think I was gonna make it through your commentary. But I like watching videos like this and I was able to watch the whole thing. Congrats on getting her running. I hope you spend the time on her to give her a proper restore. Tear motor down, tear tranny down and everything else that needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
I really appreciate the longer videos 👍👌💯💯
