Re: 1929 Fordor Briggs Running Again
Originally when my truck was brought out of a 50 year nap, it would only go a mile or 2 and dump water/steam out the overflow tube. Radiator was shot/plugged up.
Make sure you lube the water pump, generator (2 places) and distributor before driving it/running it much. If lube is bad/non existent does not take long to wreck bushings/bearings (speaking from experience). And consider a full fluid replacement/grease job/wheel bearing repack). Grease and oil are no longer grease/oil after sitting for storage/long periods.
