@@charlesthomas9294 Although the pick up is old, it must have low mileage. The engine runs smoothly. It is a very durable 6cc . Congratulations here from Brazil.
Do remember the Corvair's have a pressurized oil system and all openings, even the fill pipe and dip stick must be sealed before starting, or else all oil will be pumped out in minutes. Learned the hard way and will never forget, even after 55 years.
Very enjoyable video, like so many others you've made. I especially enjoy the IH and Diamond T trucks. My very first vehicle was a 1953 IH A-120. It was only 17 years old then, owned by a local doctor who had a little Hobbie farm. Then I bought a 1957 All Wheel Drive 3/4 ton, then another 1953 in about !980. Current have a 1955 that I have had since 1986 it had less than 60K miles when I bought. Great old trucks. So much fun to drive. I am really amazed that you can get these old girls to run, and they sound pretty good too.
Nice! Love the videos ! It's great driving down a country road and seeing an old rusty car or truck in a field and it's cool to see them brought to life again
I am totally addicted to these videos! Your dry humor cracks me up, and I really get excited when those old engines start running. Thanks for posting these!
“That does not affect fuel flow at all. That’s just performance. Each one of them bends, that’s 5, 10, 15, 25 hp right there”. Laughed out loud at that
This IS my favorite car channel! I have a three quarter ton 1949 chevy truck that has a good body, engine needs rebuilt, needs the wires replaced, a new seat both bottom and back, plus some other stuff. This channel gives me hope that it'll come to life and be drivable again after a generous application of elbow grease.
I had a 51 with the Silver Diamond 6 and the crappy 6volt starter ground around so slow! I gave up after a few rebuilds and put a 12 volt battery just for the starter and when you pushed the dash button it would spin SWEET! She was good for 55 before the kingpins would start to ''Death wobble'' so bad you couldn't hold the lane! Solid and beefy....the strongest Truck I have ever seen!
You can’t make these videos quick enough for me, I’m loving every minute, I’m now going back through previous videos and watching them again, great work brother..
My Dad had one of these in the '60's....it was a '53, but pretty much identical. Had a big (made by the local welding shop )dump box on it, and it was the town garbage scow. Ran on 5 cylinders with a mostly burnt out muffler, so it had a very distinctive sound, and was known far and wide as "The Green Hornet" LOL It just kept on going...it refused to die.
There’s still plenty of 40-50’s model pickups in Georgia USA too. Not so rust-free, unless they’re barn kept. It’s sad to see them wasting away in the junkyards.
International was a price point truck. They competed for head-on with Dodge to win government contracts and often won. Many municipalities bought these trucks. They were often discarded with less-than-fatal problems. When I was growing up, we had a 1966 International Tavelall, a previously-owned state vehicle. It had a 304 Cu.In. engine and ran wonderfully. It got a little stuck in the mud and when we tried to get it out, the rear end broke. It was also a rust bucket.
Just pull the engine, and strip it down. All the electrical needs to be integrity checked; if it's rotted; toss it. For the engine; check the rings, piston walls, and Cam shaft. All the gaskets will likely need replacing. Install refurbished or new starter; check carb; repair or refurbish as needed. Check transmission, gears and lube levels. Replace old worn spark plugs and wiring. Check compression. Every rusted part needs to be Sand blasted, free of rust and clean. Check, clean distributor, and have fresh wiring to plugs. Be prepared for LARGE chunk of WORK!
This is great! I shared a couple of your vids to my FB group "Trucks Antique Farm and Road" I have a carburetor rebuilders club FB group too! I have a 1956 International S-160 truck that was bought new in the town I live near, still has the dealer ID on the cowls! Need to unstick the engine. Got a 1947 Studebaker M16 that came out of North/South Dakota I need to get unstuck too. Keep up the inspiration!!!!
Wish I could tool around with an old truck like that, my father had a '51 International that he never did anything with. I did motorcycles for 12 years but got tired of them, still have the itch to wrench though.
As you can see, mostly everything else rusts out or gives out, everything but the cab is usually remaining lol but it's crazy how they can run and this one was Easy to get going! Really surprised about it after he said it sat for 40+ years or whatever. Imagine in the future when we're either older than dirt or dead and gone when they are trying to get cars from the current time line going, like 2020 Toyota corolla or a 2018 Buick Verano etc etc won't be easy at all and will all depend of the ecus aren't fried or sat underwater or some how got weathered in the inside, plus if rats chewed up the wiring it's a lost cause but will all depend on those ecus, lol crazy thought eh?!?
I’d pump up the tires and drive her as-is! Motor sounds smooth and you did a great job! 👍 GM products are the best! (Brain fog..I meant International Harvester..sorry Jerry, thanks for noticing. 😊 )
One trick I'm surprised you weren't doing is to push the clutch in whenever you crank it. This truck's clutch plate may be totally stuck, but if it breaks loose it'll let the engine turn over easier without having to spin the input shaft of the tranny.
So much more satisfying watching a mechanic. Than hotrod builder's on discovery Channel Salvaging not even chassis, just the cab and putting it thru a body work paint shop. Less tattoos and bullshit.
3:52 I've seen many a transmission hump, but that engine hump in the firewall is something else! 👍 I've got a huge, special place in my heart for 6 cylinder engines, especially my first, a 1976 Feather Duster/slant 6. I would give almost anything to have that car back. Keep up the great work sir! I'm thoroughly enjoying all your content!
Keep at it. It's very entertaining. It takes me back to being with family and me cleaning old car parts as a kid learning from dad, uncles and gramps. If YOU do live streams of this, it makes a lot of views. AND we could give you live update on car parts necessary that you'd ask for the repair. Anyways. Have an awesome day. Rock on.
In 2014 when I was 16 years old I bought a 1961 Chevy Apache 20 with a 283 in it, it had sat since 1990 and after "adjusting" the carb with the wrench tap method and replacing the coil she fired right up. That is a feeling I'll never forget and I'm glad to find a channel that helps me recreate that feeling.
Man! Glad I found this channel Love seeing the attempt to get these things running any trucks you’re willing to sell that are just completely street legal not necessarily redone but just street legal
Do you live in Arkansas ?The area you have your vehicles looks like a real nice place to live. I've noticed the state on many vehicles you work on. Well. on a sad note...You may have heard on the news last year that My beautiful niece Cassandra Carter from New Hampshire, was killed crossing a main road in Arkansas. My brother is totally devastated. We all are. She was dating a young man from Arkansas, and she went there with him to meet his family for Christmas. We don't know what happened, but she was hit by a truck and died on the side of the road. Some say the truck didn't have his lights on, some said she was running (from what) and crossed in front of the truck. No one knows. She was a sweetheart, My God child. Her poor boyfriend was in shock too. He wasn't with her at the time because they had an argument and she drove to a hotel. They called each other and made up over the phone. THEN her car would not start for some strange reason, and she started to walk back to where he was. Second person in my immediate family to get killed by a vehicle while walking. Life is so fragile. peace
There’s an old l130 at a junkyard I go to. It has a dump bed and a spotlight which is kinda cool. Someone sadly took all the front fenders and the grille
This is probably my favorite car channel right now.
@@chevelleguy8059 Alright I will👍
That's good 😐
Yesss, I agree. Old trucks, my fave
LOL my 3rd video on this channel, this is the first one i've seen turn over, let alone run.
Visegrip garage is great too
You are an AMAZING mechanic with historical knowledge of what is needed for old engines. Dude, YOU ROCK!!! Thank you
Yes hundred per cent ! I sign ! I like his accent and way talking hhhhh
I've been binge watching all your "Will it run" videos and they're so addicting! Great stuff man!
Love these old American pickups, I'm in England, and they're non-existent over here, a great channel.
Same here in Sweden
I'm English and quarter Swedish, I second that!
They would have rusted away anyways lol
And brakes, who needs those!
Lol
In America we also have the 2nd. Amendment.
What a beautiful sound. The engine is working very well. No smoke left.
I'm amazed at how good it sounds!
@@charlesthomas9294 Although the pick up is old, it must have low mileage. The engine runs smoothly. It is a very durable 6cc . Congratulations here from Brazil.
I have to show my dad this channel. He has a 72 Nova, a 65 Corvair and a 72 Suburban that haven’t run for 20 plus years. This will give him hope ❤️
Do remember the Corvair's have a pressurized oil system and all openings, even the fill pipe and dip stick must be sealed before starting, or else all oil will be pumped out in minutes. Learned the hard way and will never forget, even after 55 years.
Don't need hope. Just need to get out and get to work on 'em. it ain't hard.

I had a '54 R-100, ran & stopped. My wife made me get rid of it but a few years later, they were both gone. Miss the truck...
I like his attitude towards everything he does. Yeah, my favorite will it run channel
Nice! Love the videos ! It's great driving down a country road and seeing an old rusty car or truck in a field and it's cool to see them brought to life again
It's even more fun driving them.
There are miracles in this life. This is about my 8th episode and I think I'm even learning something about motors. Thank you Mr. Jennings!
LOVE these 'will it run' videos!! Please don't ever run out of old beaters to play with!
I am totally addicted to these videos! Your dry humor cracks me up, and I really get excited when those old engines start running. Thanks for posting these!
Sounds amazing, those old engines were so reliable!!

Would love to bring back any of these old pickups, especially the Diamond T! What a rarity.
The diamond ts are awesome! Want one❤️
Just gotta love the sound of those old workhorse motors! Good job!
Nothing wrong with that old engine, treated with respect good for another 50 thousand miles!
Unbelievable. I'm amazed everytime I see one of these fire up
I had '49 International truck when I was younger. Enjoyed your video!

Love your material and this one was especially fun. That International ran amazingly well, iconic sound.
I live in England...if I lived in the US, I would love to restore one of those. Such an iconic design. Great video
Work Truck! Just from the 50's!
yeah mate i live in aus and i can only admire from afar lol
There are plenty of old rust free cars out here in the Southwest United States.
There’s still plenty of 40-50’s model pickups in Georgia USA too. Not so rust-free, unless they’re barn kept. It’s sad to see them wasting away in the junkyards.
I feel sorry for you poor BLIGHTERS over there! Shit weather, bad teeth, and ugly trucks like Bedfords! 😂
You're a down to the Earth good mechanic takes pleasure and seeing you work
Brilliant channel, I love seeing these old trucks n cars get a new lease if life,🙂🔧
Awesome videos! It must be so satisfying bringing life to these old vehicles!

The best points file I've found, is a metal fingernail file.
i found my old D*LL computer hooked it up to this old tv, and i'm using it right now, as a big screen computer! nice! sounds great, too!
I was going to suggest that as well Jeremy Downunder
Love these old internationals. If i get the chance, im gonna get one for my next project car
I am astounded. And I think this headcam film style works pretty well, with maybe the occasional cut to a tripod shot as needed.
You got the best yard art in America. And that means in the world!
"it doesn't seem to have a parking brake so this ones gonna be a fun one to drive" i like that mentality
Back to life..the old motor whisperer strikes again..Great job!!!
You’ve got a dream collection there my friend. Lots of toys to tinker with when you get the itch.
I'm new and love the old start ups the pick up truck was my favorite
This is great! I shared a couple of your vids to my FB group "Trucks Antique Farm and Road" I have a carburetor rebuilders club FB group too!

Wish I could tool around with an old truck like that, my father had a '51 International that he never did anything with. I did motorcycles for 12 years but got tired of them, still have the itch to wrench though.
You are definitely saving all the cool old vehicles, Great Job!!!
Great work love see old trucks and car get running after years of been sat, much love from the UK
Just recently came across your channel and I been watching alot here lately and definitely one of my favorite trucks you have done so far
Dude you're awesome, and I am jealous of your collection sitting there!
Those old Internationals were built to last, that truck is all the proof you will ever need!
As you can see, mostly everything else rusts out or gives out, everything but the cab is usually remaining lol but it's crazy how they can run and this one was Easy to get going! Really surprised about it after he said it sat for 40+ years or whatever.

It's not GM. It's an International. Big difference.
That's awesome great video keep those old rides on the road . Old school rules
One trick I'm surprised you weren't doing is to push the clutch in whenever you crank it. This truck's clutch plate may be totally stuck, but if it breaks loose it'll let the engine turn over easier without having to spin the input shaft of the tranny.
Lovely old old truck,I would try and get that on the road,bags of character.
My favorites will it start man you keep coming up with the will it starts and you got me forever
This is the kind of vid that keep me coming back for more
Enjoyed the videos love seeing these old cars n trucks come back to life.
u are amazing I got happy when see the old trucks switch on after so many years stock
So much more satisfying watching a mechanic. Than hotrod builder's on discovery Channel Salvaging not even chassis, just the cab and putting it thru a body work paint shop. Less tattoos and bullshit.
Love your videos. Just like I did at 12. One comment please pick up after yourself. You are a red front store. Porsche tech 53 years.

You had the Chrysler Leaning Tower of Power in your first sixer. No HP but would run forever even if you run out of oil :-)
@@rvninnorthcarolina3377 I have one -- a 1971 Valiant. It makes plenty of torque and about 145 HP. It's fast enough.
I'm glad to see i6 engines starting to become a trend again.

Rock on.
My very first vehicle, even before I had a license, was a 55 International pickup. I wish I still had that truck!
You've inspired me to make videos again soon. The head camera idea is amazing, I hate carrying a camera around LOL
It sounded pretty damn decent honestly . I’m impressed
Right for a 50s engine that's been sitting for 30 years sounds like brand new tbh
In 2014 when I was 16 years old I bought a 1961 Chevy Apache 20 with a 283 in it, it had sat since 1990 and after "adjusting" the carb with the wrench tap method and replacing the coil she fired right up.

Can't wait to see it done and driving. Would love to own an old truck like this soon
His stuff ain't NEVER "done" OR driving! 😂
Wow. Runs like a sewing machine. Tow mater light hanging out is perfect.
The SteveMRE and Hickok45 of car UA-camrs. Well done.
Excellent video :) also lot repairs to do in the future and drive too!
I enjoy your videos very much. You amaze me at getting those old dinosaurs running again.
Just love how he talk....greetings from downunder.....
That's a sweet o'l truck, drove one like that on Grandpa's farm ,back in the day.
Thos is one of the best channels on the tube !
Would love to see some old police cars / firetrucks / ambulances etc (emergency service vehicles) if possible someday!
Best car channel on UA-cam. Would love to see an you get an old Mercedes Diesel running.
Unbelieveble, but you got it! And the engine sounds great. I liked the video very much! Greetings from Southern Brazil.
Sounds like mr. Trey Gowdy went into trucks repair.. Best of luck and cheers from Amsterdam 🇳🇱✊🍀🇺🇸
Man! She sounds sweet! Some good tlc and she'll be fine!👌😎👍
I think if you'd use starting fluid it would run and it would save on the starter .but you did good it's running sounds good..good job
Man! Glad I found this channel Love seeing the attempt to get these things running any trucks you’re willing to sell that are just completely street legal not necessarily redone but just street legal
I like this guy's channel. Looks like stuff I mess with. 😆
Damm! That sounds pretty good! . I dId'nt see any smoke.
Time for an auction. Cheers!
Hi, vous êtes un génie pour redémarrer vos vielles voitures merci 👍👍👍

Sounds good. Nice work. Enjoyed it a lot.
Love the dangling headlight!
