After 81 Years In The Woods, See How A 1929 GMC Motor Starts

Before commencing to develop luxury versions of Chevrolet pickups, the American firm GMC was exclusively involved in the production of trucks and dump trucks for many years. This 1929 GMC two-toned truck hails from a bygone period when the brand was a well-known utility truck manufacturer.
Jennings Motor sports, a YouTube channel, discovered such a vehicle in a forest, where it had been sitting for 81 years, according to the information they were able to collect. This 1929 GMC was last seen on the road in 1940, one year before the United States entered the World War II.
Unfortunately, the vloggers didn't show us how they got the 1929 GMC truck out of the woods, but we do know that it was severely damaged in the process, even though the chassis and front end were saved.
Surprisingly, the old 5.1-liter inline six-cylinder engine has survived 92 years after it was built and is still functioning. When car enthusiasts decided to start the engine, they changed the oil, replaced the spark plugs, and gave it a modest overhaul.
