1940 dodge pickup.. how do I start it?
Dodgeed replied to charmcity's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Maybe he needs even more details? Pull the choke out; pump the gas once or twice; ensure you're in neutral gear or push the clutch pedal all the way in; turn the key; press on the starter button on the floor, and be ready to switch to the gas pedal quickly once it fires. If it doesn't fire, wait a few seconds and try again. The instant it fires, be ready to switch your foot off the starter button and onto the gas to keep it from dying; push in the choke button all the way, and sit there awhile revving the engine to get it warmed up. When it no longer feels like it will die when you let off the gas, you should be okay. -

I agree with the above suggestions, but just to ensure there are no surprises, make sure your transmission is in neutral, or at least keep the clutch pedal pushed all the way in. -
Beautiful car you've got there. Plus, seeing the cobwebs underneath makes me think this car has been sitting for many years. Is that the case? Great looking Coronet.

I noticed that too. OUCH!

First time driving truck since 1986
Dodgeed replied to Rodney_Hamon's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
You sure have a "purdy" truck. Looks great! -
Just the car name & year, such as "the '51 Dodge" or "the '64 Vette". Nothing like "Christine" or "Eleanor".

That is a 1940 Dodge truck located in a truck museum in New Zealand. The pictures came from another car web page.

I know what you mean about everything starting up when there is a slight warm-up and you get out into the garage and it's a joy to have them all running smoothly. When I lived in Western Pa, the month of January was typically brutal winter weather with temperatures well below freezing and snow on the ground. No taking out the old vehicles for several weeks, if for no other reason, to avoid leftover salt on the roads. Next week there is supposed to be a warm up above normal temperatures; I suspect there will be lots of old vehicles out running around. Enjoy your day!
