Pablo wasn’t getting to far away when you were applying the linseed oil. He knew a ride was next. Great revival.👍🐶
Yell Pablo was thinking as he followed you around the truck hurry up dad that's good enough I want a go for a ride
Pablo looked at the camera as if to say I am going for a ride
👍I like those old Ford pickups 👍
I saw that sitting in the shop on the last video. Mint 👀Thank you for sharing. 💯
You and Pablo living the life !
My favorite truck, my favorite engine.
Step by step Brent has the will it start down, with ease. The sound of the Ford Flat Head, music to gear head ears. 😎👍🇨🇦
I always used a matchbook on the points for all the old Ford's I had. Flatheads Forever. 👌
Yep about .018 if I remember right.
Love it that when you were putting the Linseed oil on, Pablo followed your every move. He must have known it was near to test drive time and he wasn't going to let you go without him, smart dog.
Pppppĺ
The General Looks Great, and waiting for its next job.
That truck with the snow, should be a painting ‼️💯🤯🙏👍✌️
Good old flatheads,run forever with gas, lol lol ,old faithful was ready for that ride, nice video as normal, nice drone work,,tks Brett an Pablo
Another successful Pablo rebuild. He should have his own shop. His attention to detail is unsurpassed.
Great to see Mr Krause’s truck moving again!
Very nice and beautiful truck , Oh man love the beautiful picturesque snowy background, btw never saw this much snow in my life 😍
It's cool how the general stands command at your garage door love it
By far my favorite year of ford truck. I used to have one as a project but was to young to keep it. Young and dumb.
The older I get the more I appreciate vintage trucks. Hopefully I will own one before I'm too old to enjoy it.
So much for getting anything accomplished for the next hour or so. Afternoon Pablo! After Brent!
On the big screen now Mint Thanks for sharing It looks right at home on the road
just your lil test shows me you put fuel in it will run great. flatheads are wonderful great motors
Great Drone video, Really nice fix up. Motor sounds pretty solid, Thank You for Posting. Stay Warm. Dennis
A friend in need, is a friend indeed. Plus it keeps you off the couch. And a short break from the current project.
that snowy landscape with an old Ford p/u brings back alot of good memories from my youth . my neighbor had a p/u like that in th 50's ...good times and good memories THANKS BRENT
There is something just completely righteous about watching the old girl drive off in the snow.
a 1950 Ford F1, a magnificent project and a beautiful pickup thank you for sharing
Love your videos, and old flatheads
A boy and his dog, Love this revival, I'm a truck guy at heart.
I think that your shop helper approves of your work and enjoys the rides and lovin that you give him.. keep em coming.
Another great revival. I wish I could have seen the look on Trevor and his father's face the first time they got to drive it. Very nice of you to do. Once again, love the tunes on your channel.
Great halfass filming !! First class ! love the end testing shots ! Thanks for sharing this !
if you have a bunk i can sleep in i would totally be at your shop all the time!!! nice to see a fellow Canadian with the same passion and love for old iron and metal.
Had a 1950 in the early 80’s..loved that truck..so simple to work on..nice ride!
Very nice truck, in great shape for 70+ years old.
I always loved the smooth sound of a good running flathead !
I guess you are the best, simply better than the rest !
Pretty sweet old truck!!!
Good morning from New Zealand
Pablo is so Hyper! Its like he is a puppy again!
The flathead in my "52 F1 purred like a kitten when she fired up. Had been parked since 1972. Love these old trucks!
cool well done sir Brent
Been seeing that truck in the background, was hoping to see a video on it soon! ✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦
You the MAN👍👍 hot bath, in the snow🤠 linseed on the top, and bar oil on the bottom ❤️❤️ it.
Very cool, my brothers 1st truck was a 48 Ford back in 72, I remember it like it was yesterday. I could watch you work on stuff all day but then I’ll get nothing done, lol. Thanks for sharing!
Me and dad had a 49 ford truck for 25years bought it in 1981,it was a blast to have gone but not forgotten, I'll catch ya on the next one,I love pablo and your show.
Trevor is lucky to have a friend like you. Being able to work in a shop with heated floors is the best. 40 plus years ago I use to help out my friend work on his cars in a cold garage with just a space heater and use to go home frozen to the bone.
In floor radiant is the best way to heat a shop by far. The most efficient method of heating too.
Thanks for the video. First class drone work!
AFTER ALL THAT JACKING AROUND FOR DAYS PALBO SAID WE BETTER GO FOR A RIDE / YOU DID A GOOD JOB ON IT LOVE SEEING OLD THINGS FIXED
CANADA FREEDOM CONVOY 2022 Hi! From Niagara Canada ...
Hi Brent, Your videos are fun to watch! Thanks for the test drive and the old time black and white video and old time music at the end! I'm showing my age ha ha. God bless and take care!
Brent. loved the History lesson on the old Ford not very often can you trace ownership, but all of our old toys had a past life and loved to hear them. Great video to watch on a very cold and winterer day. Thanks for the video I think Pablo enjoyed the great well earned ride.
I enjoyed the history on the truck. It is nice to sees it coming back to life.
Pablo looks very patient 👍 and very thankful for the ride 😂
The old 51 Ford sounds sweet I worked on alot of the flathead back in my younger day.i love them old flathead with straight pipes.
Great Ol Truck love old Ford Pickups. Nice work, nice music, sweet pup. I enjoyed this thank you for your time and sharing. Rich
Great old original truck and good job getting it running. These trucks were also a part of Canadian history.
Nice easy start. Made it look much better 👍. Nice you helped your friend. Thanks for the video.
That's a beautiful truck man. It's funny all the different things you can use linseed oil for back when I was working with a guy building custom signs in Texas we would use linseed oil to brush blend different colors together on signs. I didn't know anything about this being a carpenter but my boss was an artist and he taught us so many different things in that trade. I want saw the Harley he painted by hand for his wife, it was all a Southwestern motif. And I can tell you you would have never thought that that was painted by hand with a brush. Anyway my friend nice Revival and another great video thank you so much. You rock Brent
Love this , had a 49 f-3 239 flathead V8. Miss that ole truck alot. Great job.
when bought my 1951 four dr belair. found hair in line carb everything. Looked in filler spot no gas cap. pulled off tank ran water thur it found a hairless mouse in it. was all thur fuel system. ekk puts rocks in tank with water. shook around. the car had say at least 20 years. changed plugs all the other stuff it needed. put back on tank after building carb also getting out all that hair blew out the lines. put in my new 6 volt battery. put gas in carb and tank plus new oil filter ect. turned on key hit the starter button it started right up made some rod noise. was a 235 ended up putting in 50 weight and stp it ran great after that. Car had no brakes long time after got it running. Would use emergency brake to stop car. was tricky doing so would pull brake and light switch also to parking lights so could show was brake lights. Then one day sent it up front to main shop at Jerry Talley Ford and got brakes. Warrensburg, MO.
What I like most about your show is that you don't try to follow the status quo about building cars you build it the way you like it and you do a great job I'm a self who have been working on cars for 40 years Plus we do a lot of things just to like plus you've taught me a few things really enjoy the show I like the way you arrange your show explain what you going to do then show it in a little higher speed watching you do it gives folks a lot of insight on what you're doing and how to do it great program Jeff from Georgia
Great work again my friend. With not a lot of work on this 1950 Ford pick up. Pablo alway loves his rides. Thank you for sharing!
i love the little ending song and black and white film roll. it fits the era of the truck nicely
Always great to watch especially these Old Ford flat head v8, Always loved these old American pickups trucks from the 1940 to current generation marvellous and so simple to work on especially if you are able to find one in this condition, We don’t have anything like this in the United Kingdom or were my family from in the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪🐶.
Great truck. 👍👍
That was great! Especially the ride with Pablo. Thanks!
I too was wondering if we were going to see a video on this truck soon. We've been seeing it in the background during the Ford Bobber Build. Thanks for sharing yours and Pablo's Garage Time with us.👍👍
That flathead runs so smooth after not being started for a long time. Not much horsepower, but what a great sound.
My father purchased a 52 van the week I went in the service,really liked that truck. Did I say new,yes right off the lot.
Much better with original wheels, completes the whole thing, cheers
Nice! Another classic saved!✊😁
Love seeing these old vehicles brought to life. Thanks Brent great video
Had seen it in the background of some other video's, was hoping to see more of this truck.
You can't beat these old trucks.
That’s some truck that, nice to see it still retains the flathead :) a proper survivor :) You are a true asset to these classics.
Every time I sit in my '50 Ford F1 I feel blessed to have shared time reviving the old girl with Dad. These trucks are just cool!
Most people would dye to have a shop like this, Your living the dream man. It's really to bad it had to be neglected after it sat in a Museum, god that was unfortunate good save and I would say it's a beauty as it is, good program.
It's nice when they fire up like they were never dormant and stored for years. Loving the V8 Flathead... Henry certainly knew what he was doing with those when they were developed. Cheers on another success Brent.
That was a pretty cool little project, fairly clean truck for its age, it definitely made Pablo's day to get out and ride, you got some good sugar for taking him along 😀,
"Smells like the 80's", everyone mid 40's and up can picture it. Everyone younger, "I don't get it". Lol.
Ah... I've been waiting for the story on this one. I've seen it in the last couple videos and even saw it start up and drive to the other bay in the last one.
Awesome revival of that sweet old flatty😁
Glad to see you put proper wheeles on it
Great looking old truck, one of my favorite body style 👌
Boy, I love the sound of a purring, growling flathead! Always wanted one, but now out of years, resources and facilities. That's why I always enjoy watching Brent work his "mellow magic".
That thing ran beautiful and looked real nice after you put the linseed oil on it. I know this truck has a lot of sentimental value to the owner, but if it didn't, it sure would make a nice Sanford and Son replica.
Nice change of pace. Took me back, dad had a 53 f 150 ford, red, straight six, three on the tree..learned how to drive in it. Thanks for the memories.
Another great job, what a cool thing to be able to know the peoole in the story and to get to the point of shining the old gal up and driving safely again. Dogs gave another stellar performance as usual! Everybody wins, including me being able to watch it all happen! Just got my tee shirt and sticker the other day too...keep up the great work and videos, Brent. Clicking on a new HK video makes my DAY!!! Cheers!
Nice old truck, really quiet flat head, Pablo loves a test drive, the Linseed finish is the best
Time to grab the popcorn and enjoy the evening. Thanks man.
Hey... another piece of classic history back on the road where it should be , top job done, neat truck,
Wicked video again metal master, brilliant 🤩
That is one awesome truck great video Brent as always
Nice truck 🙂
Finally get to finish watching. Brass fuel tank floats, submerge in hot water. Watch fot buble’s same for carb floats. Pinholes, heat up float and use soldering iron or micro torch. Put your gasket punch in a drill, works awesome. Even the metallic exhaust gasket stuff. Carpet and rubber too. Washing it was fun to watch. Have you tried the Flood shine juice? Its supposed to last a little longer. Pablo got his ride!👍
Cool old truck! Pablo was pretty happy to test her out!
Amazing that it started so quickly !
So great. You and your copilot there always make me laugh. Super cool truck.
When your flathead runs like a singer, it’s a real goodern .dang that’s a good running motor.
Nice truck, be real nice with the dings and dents taken out and a fresh fast spray of blue and black. This was a classic Ford back in the day. Love the box side boards. Great vid ....Thanks
I am a littlebit sad to see this truck After a Restauration in such a condition . Somebody dont love him for a long time . I hope he get now the love he needed . It is a Nice real autentic truck Take care Frank Galetzka
