    I like all your will it run videos. I am 80 years old and you got my blood up to save a 1953 Dodge 2 ton truck that sat outside for 53 years in the Arkansas weather. I would like to meet you someday. Keep them coming. Best

    The badge in the grill is definitely from Borchers Ford in Dayton Ohio and was made by the Thompson Mfg Co also of Dayton. Borchers was one of the earliest dealers having started in 1903.

    When I hear these old engines running, they keep reminding me when we got things right.

    Will it run? Of course it will! Because you're the guy working on it! Best automotive YouTube channel around!!
  • Unbelievable that after that many years it still wants to run. That’s a cool looking truck that maybe worth some future restoration.

    Gotta love the ol' dirt dobber performance package. Makes it much more collectible.
  • It sounds pretty darn good after sitting with a head half off for many years! 👍

    Imagine 80 years from now trying this with any modern vehicle with all the unnecessary computer crap. It won't happen.

    Mr. Jennings, I have admired your channel for a while, but my son of 55 years and a mechanic of almost 40 years speaks volumes of you and your work.

    You have the magic touch with these old classics.

    Great to hear that old ford running again after so long, a very unique sound, always brings a smile to your face 😀👍👍

    Regarding the logo on the grill, apparently there was a Borchers Ford dealership in Dayton Ohio that opened in 1903 and closed in 1978. When searching I did find one image of another Ford with that logo on the grill.

    The feeling of happiness when I see your video at the top of my feed is hard to beat.

    You are the man! I love the dripping fuel, sparks and back-fires at minute 20. Keep living on the edge hero. I love it.
  • @blurglide
    I really like how calm you are solving these SERIOUS car problems.
  • @johnellick7778
    I'm a big fan of your channel. You never cease to amaze me how you bring those old rust buckets back to life. A true inspiration for all the backyard mechanics out there. Great stuff 👏

    I had to take a break from dinner after the oil plug was let loose.It’s always a treat seeing a dirt dobber special two weeks in a row.
