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.
@@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.
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
“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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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..
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.
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?!?
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.
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. 😊 )
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
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!
You have a ton of vehicles ! Do you own a salvage yard? ( I don't like the word "junk yard' ) lol. My great-grand dad owned a junk yard back in the 30's and 40's up here in Massachusetts. My Dad said he called it ..."Carters used up Cars"! lol!! Gods honest truth! He served in WW1 then started a "junk' yard. I guess they sold it when he died. That has been my dream since I was a kid. I would LIVE in a junk yard if I could !! But, like a total idiot, I worked for others my entire life and now I'm retirement age. God where did the years go!!. Keep doing what you love to do young man!! "Follow your bliss"!!Wherever it takes you. Peace.
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 want somethin like these to tinker with. I used to sit in car and trucks like these as a kid and pretend to drive them. Always felt i was born in the wrong era cause i missed out on growing up while these vehicle was still runnin the roads. sadly ppl want 5k for one u can poke a hole in with just a finger or id snag one up
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
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.
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.
What a beautiful sound. The engine is working very well. No smoke left.
I'm amazed at how good it sounds!

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...
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.
LOVE these 'will it run' videos!! Please don't ever run out of old beaters to play with!
“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
Sounds amazing, those old engines were so reliable!!

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!

Would love to bring back any of these old pickups, especially the Diamond T! What a rarity.
The diamond ts are awesome! Want one❤️

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! 😂
Unbelievable. I'm amazed everytime I see one of these fire up
I like his attitude towards everything he does. Yeah, my favorite will it run channel
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.

Nothing wrong with that old engine, treated with respect good for another 50 thousand miles!
I had '49 International truck when I was younger. Enjoyed your video!
Just gotta love the sound of those old workhorse motors! Good job!
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..
"it doesn't seem to have a parking brake so this ones gonna be a fun one to drive" i like that mentality
Love these old internationals. If i get the chance, im gonna get one for my next project car
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
Brilliant channel, I love seeing these old trucks n cars get a new lease if life,🙂🔧

I am astounded. And I think this headcam film style works pretty well, with maybe the occasional cut to a tripod shot as needed.
Those old Internationals were built to last, that truck is all the proof you will ever need!

It's not GM. It's an International. Big difference.

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
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've inspired me to make videos again soon. The head camera idea is amazing, I hate carrying a camera around LOL

Finds a stick tied to a rock “I think I can get er runnin”
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
Lovely old old truck,I would try and get that on the road,bags of character.
Wow. Runs like a sewing machine. Tow mater light hanging out is perfect.

Love the dangling headlight!
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
This has became my most favorite will it start channel🥇🥇🎖
You’ve got a dream collection there my friend. Lots of toys to tinker with when you get the itch.
beautiful old truck!
Just love how he talk....greetings from downunder.....
Thos is one of the best channels on the tube !
My very first vehicle, even before I had a license, was a 55 International pickup. I wish I still had that truck!
I like this guy's channel. Looks like stuff I mess with. 😆
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! 😂
Love the old cornbinders!
Enjoyed the videos love seeing these old cars n trucks come back to life.
That's a sweet o'l truck, drove one like that on Grandpa's farm ,back in the day.

Nice job Jim Bob! Somebody's got to take care of these old trucks
