Default Re: ORIGINAL FAN BELT restoration?

Maybe it'll limber up with running. In 1989 my dad found a '40 sedan, sitting in a garage since 1966. He left the original belt on and I'm still running that same belt. Car has a total of 36,736 miles.

I try running to limber up. Usually, I am just more stiff afterwards....

FWIW, in 1980 I fought a new F150. After about 15 years the belt started chirping when it was cold, the chirping would go away after the engine and belt warmed up. When I sold the truck in 2004, it still had the original chirping belt on it along w/the original fuel pump.
