I'm by no means a gearhead but I love watching your videos. Fascinating watching you bring these old machines back to life. You're always good for a laugh too.
Same here. I really have no background in working on cars at all, I only know the basics that most people know. One thing I can see is the older vehicles are probably a lot easier for a mechanic to work on, so much more room and less crap to fix.
I used to drive one of them when I was a kid it could do 70 Mph easily. I love watching your videos. I had a tight motor once and I ended up using 36 volts on to a 6 volt starter and then it fired up .
And thanks for these videos. I love to see you saving these old trucks part of History and it's great to see you getting them running again. Awesome! Keep the videos coming. Thanks again
"The dirt dauber performance package" 😂😂😂 .......That must be a dealer installed option; if you let 'em sit on the lot long enough. Good job getting the old girl running again!
I worked with a woman who was the 1st female OTR truck driver and she drove an IH and said it was the best truck she ever drove, they really don't make 'em like they used to!
I like them old trucks I drove 3 old Chevy when I was young a 1951 292 6 cyc 2 ton with pancake hi and low rear-end a 53 1 ton with a 216 babbitt rod 6 cyc a 59 fleetside 3/4 ton with a 235 6 cyc miss them old days and them old trucks
Howdyyawl from the land down under. Looks like a nice old faithful. Someone's pride & joy in days gone. Be a nice project to get back on the road. Always like your video's, keepemcomin. 😊
My father had a IH old pick up and it was a 4 cylinder. As I understand IH actually separated one of their same 8 cylinders used in the one like this video and used them in 2 units! He gave it to my now passed father in law but I sure wish he would have held on to it as I would love to have it now.
You continue to amaze me! You are as entertaining as you are genius. I don't think there is any old junk out there that you couldn't get running. Just one question; do you have to buy all these old jalopies for your videos and if so, doesn't that get expensive?
Why not throw a small tarp over the engine when you purge the cylinders so it doesn't spray all over everything??😊 Another trick is to wrap the electricals in aluminum foil to keep them dry when pressure washing!😸
If I had you as a mechanic I could probably still drive them today but my dad was born in 1921 they were his trucks and he sold them them trucks Is what I learned to drive to get my license
I have a soft spot for internationals. I've had 3 started out with a 65. Then I had 61 now i have another 65 that I probably won't get around to rebuild, but if anybody is interested, It is for sale.
Mr Jennings (what's your first name, dude?), do you ever take "the next step" with any of these old trucks? You know, tires, brakes, brake lights, so you could drive it to the gas station without dying?
Hey bro when y wanna remove those drain plugs and y got a few threads showin wrap it with a string type thing like a chainsaw rip cord and pull, like a capstan
You are the most patient mechanic I’ve seen. Never heard a foul word or real anger while you’re working on your projects. Well done. I like your videos a lot.
"We" is limited to those who do not. Being raised like it was the 1800s I appreciate common amenities the majority consider their "rights". They are not and will soon be beyond financial or available viability for the "We". "History does not repeat itself, it rhymes" - Mark Twain I will spectate and be amused.@@JeffKopis
You are pretty damn amazing. Out of all the videos I have seen of yours only a couple wouldn't start. No playing up to viewers, just come on and start working and getting these old cars and trucks going. Thank you sir! I appreciate you
Was that your special elixir of ATF and ACETONE? Wow! That was nothing short of remarkable. Thank you for showing your simplified steps to getting it to fire up. I really liked the part where you heat the sparkplugs up and douse them with penetrating ole. The cooling action sucks the oil down along the threads. I watched a spring shop do that to U-Bolts and Nuts and they reused them a lot of times. I'd like to add 2 things if I may: 1). My first thing to try is use about a 3' long prybar with a nice flat end and pry between the bellhousing and the starter ring gear teeth. I'm not too sure how to calculate the mechanical advantage, but it's way way more than going on the front dampener bolt or driveshaft. 2). If I can get it to turn over 2 whole revolutions, I don't bother with compression testing, carb or anything else, I gear up for spark and use starting fluid to give it a try. Most of the time if even 1 cylinder "helps" it will eventually speed up the cranking and go on up to several hundred rpms and from there light off. I hold it to only a few thousand rpms until it heats up the whole engine. Then shut off and cool down. After a couple heat cycles I usually have almost all the cylinders helping out. That's just my way of making the initial determination of conditions. If I don't hear rods knocking or see blow'd head gaskets, I consider the next level of investigation. Nice video Jennings. tnx ben/ michigan
When you say "it leaks like a screen door", I think to myself, if you don't put out videos more often fixing old trucks, you could try stand up comedy. Beyond the humor you really present a lot of patience, determination, and skill. I watch your videos because I learn things. Thanks for doing what you do. You can turn a very old truck into a treasure.
So cool to see you bring those wonderful trucks back to life. I love the sound the engines make. You are a remarkable and skilled mechanic. Thank you 🙏
Many years ago I was trying to adjust the timing on a 49 flathead. Had a 80 year old neighbor, was watching, and he asked for a glass of water, I thought he was thirsty, he said now put the glass of water on top of the breather. He said now rotate the distributor until the water was level is not wavy. That was amazing. Keep up the restorations.
I have had many of attempted pranks where they show some scary face in the middle of a quite video and I never flinched. You broke that motor free and I ducked and almost filled my pants! 😮 I have done that several times myself and I still can’t contain my reaction of both the joy of the engine turning and the horror of all of the stuff shooting out of the cylinders. Thanks for the great content.❤
Another fabulous/entertaining video. I have a theory..... You had a relative that owned a wrecking yard. When you were 12, 13, 14 you would spend your Saturdays in that yard equipped with a battery, can of starting fluid and a jug of gasoline. As far as conveyance a picture you with a little red wagon or maybe a golf cart. It was your joy, pleasure, entertainment to see which car or truck you could get running again. I would have loved that. Am I remotely close?
That must have been an attractive truck in its prime, judging by the body colour of the firewall and the engine colour - maybe nothing special by the design standards of 1949 when most things looked good and worked well, but still a very nice execution of the one ton truck theme.
I enjoyed your video tremendously. What are you doing with all of these old rigs ? Maybe one day you restore some of these beauties to the former glory.
Most young men your age (and a bit younger)don't know and don't care how cars work. They will live to regret this and pay out the nose for car repair to opportunistic car mechanics and forgo the joy of " fixing something yourself by the sweat of one's brow." Just my opinion.
Also sir i have a 55 International radiator that holds fluids. I live in OK. If it will fit, i will just ask the shipping price to get it to you. If it won't i understand. When i pulled it, it was filled with the green coolant
I love these videos man! Big wish from me and maybe others: Please please consider revisiting that Cadillac V8 from 1917 or so! If it is expensive to fix and/or make a video where u get it running due to needing billet made parts, maybe we could swing a collection box around to see if ppl wanna pitch in, if money is stopping that engine from happening!
You will seen the Cadillac v 8 again just going take some time all the parts have to be custom made the pistons are like 2k plus and all the bearings have to be custom made been saving up my lunch money lol hopefully come this spring we will get it rebuilt
After watching several of these I am convinced of two things. Number 1, the mechanical prowess of Mr. Jennings is unmatched, and Number 2, Mr. Jennings is immortal.
I wouldn't call him a "god", he is fun to watch but I wouldn't worship him, worship God only. You really need to meet the Lord Jesus Christ, these idols will shaft you everytime sir.
Back when I was a kid in the early 80’s over here in Mississippi, I had to help my Daddy haul pulp wood a lot. Daddy would go out and find old international about like this one, get her going, work the dog out of her, and started over with another. Watching these videos take me back to my childhood.
I'm by no means a gearhead but I love watching your videos. Fascinating watching you bring these old machines back to life. You're always good for a laugh too.
Do doubt! his videos are the best!!
That "good ole boy" southern accent doesn't hurt either @@AntiTrustNJ
Same here. I really have no background in working on cars at all, I only know the basics that most people know. One thing I can see is the older vehicles are probably a lot easier for a mechanic to work on, so much more room and less crap to fix.
Let the gears turn!
Its just fuel, spark, and compression. He's making it run. Not bringing it back to life.
I used to drive one of them when I was a kid it could do 70 Mph easily. I love watching your videos. I had a tight motor once and I ended up using 36 volts on to a 6 volt starter and then it fired up .
You've got my subscription. It's incredible to see these old works of art revived to life. You really know your way around them too.
Great stuff, glad to see your back to regular uploads.
I love watching these videos. Gives me inspiration every time I gotta fix up my '04 mustang.
Running and driving under its own power! Strong work sir.
I enjoy your videos and admire your skills and patience.
Your vids are fantastic!! I love watching you breathe new life into these
Glad you are back Jennings
Enjoy and learn all that you put out here to view
Thanks. Cliff
Does anyone else not work on vehicles and just come here just for the funny expressions and comments 😂😂
thank you! i always wanna see not only engine start but little movement like this!! awesome
And thanks for these videos. I love to see you saving these old trucks part of History and it's great to see you getting them running again. Awesome! Keep the videos coming. Thanks again

Lol “the dirt dauber performance package”…She sure is purdy!!
Great video great channel great old vintage trucks😊
please no matter what you do dont stop uploading these videos they get me through waiting for the next will it run
got a 48 studebaker 1 ton dump truck that i'm going to be doing this to. thanks for the inspiration!

HAY....WHATS GOIN ON WITH THAT BACARUDA. YOU WHEN BUILDING....THATS SOME SERIOUS WORK...
International are my favorite trucks. This would be my daily driver
You're a magician.
I got a good chuckle at 9:19 when that can of PB blaster flew up and sprayed everywhere. I imagine you went expecting that at all.
Wish I could happen upon one of these worth fixin up!
i learn something new every time, love these vids
love the vids keep it up
I also have 3 of these one in shop now just got running
9:20 "Oh crap! She's free." - lmao
As i am a shade tree mechanic ...kudos to your fine ability's❤😮 unlike others i see your not afraid to leave the unsticking to the starter😅
Excellent
She sounds pretty good too! Hopefully that head is okay
Freeing up the crankshaft looked like you struck Oil! :D
good job of making interesting subject for your videos,
Mechanical Magician 🤩
My father had a IH old pick up and it was a 4 cylinder. As I understand IH actually separated one of their same 8 cylinders used in the one like this video and used them in 2 units!
He gave it to my now passed father in law but I sure wish he would have held on to it as I would love to have it now.
Bud, just to let you know...we'd all pitch in and buy ya a few sets of gloves! 😊
Looks like the best in the movie jeepers creepers.
I would have thought you’d cover the carb before power wash.
Заметил,у Вас хорошая автохимия.
Awesome video man
You continue to amaze me! You are as entertaining as you are genius. I don't think there is any old junk out there that you couldn't get running. Just one question; do you have to buy all these old jalopies for your videos and if so, doesn't that get expensive?
Why not throw a small tarp over the engine when you purge the cylinders so it doesn't spray all over everything??😊 Another trick is to wrap the electricals in aluminum foil to keep them dry when pressure washing!😸
I was just thinking about you and low and behold you've posted a video 😅 I really want to take a scraper to that glass
Yet again something had to give when that engine burst into life.
If I had you as a mechanic I could probably still drive them today but my dad was born in 1921 they were his trucks and he sold them them trucks Is what I learned to drive to get my license
Love your channel thanks for the videos and information!
Amazing
Great video, what would that truck sell for as is?
I have a soft spot for internationals. I've had 3 started out with a 65. Then I had 61 now i have another 65 that I probably won't get around to rebuild, but if anybody is interested, It is for sale.
great start and going
That one was almost too easy, it hardly put up any fight at all.
This guy could get the Titanic to run
Mr Jennings (what's your first name, dude?), do you ever take "the next step" with any of these old trucks? You know, tires, brakes, brake lights, so you could drive it to the gas station without dying?
WHat do you do with these afterward?
Cool !!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
You got the engine in the cuda? I guess I missed that video.
Hey bro when y wanna remove those drain plugs and y got a few threads showin wrap it with a string type thing like a chainsaw rip cord and pull, like a capstan
Transmission fluid and acetone don't taste very good, do they?
Its like jeepers creepers truck
Any updates on the cuda?
You know what gloves are RIGHT?
You are the most patient mechanic I’ve seen. Never heard a foul word or real anger while you’re working on your projects. Well done. I like your videos a lot.
You just made me realize that about this guy. Maybe the most impressive thing about him on top of his soft skills and common sense
No foul words? I have heard him say “dad gum” several times.
I can only imagine what it was like living back when those beautiful trucks were new, great video sir
No cell phones. No computers. No microwaves, KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. No free porn. No seat belts. No thanks! 🤣
But seriously, we don't appreciate new things, until they become old things. That said, nobody is gonna be praising a 2023 Prius 50 years from now.
@@JeffKopismaybe they’ll praise the Prius for being good for making razor blades? 😂😂
I always think like this
"We" is limited to those who do not. Being raised like it was the 1800s I appreciate common amenities the majority consider their "rights". They are not and will soon be beyond financial or available viability for the "We".
"History does not repeat itself, it rhymes" - Mark Twain
I will spectate and be amused.@@JeffKopis
I love the way you get these old vehicles running. Not to hint at my age but these were very popular trucks for farming when I was a young man.
You are pretty damn amazing. Out of all the videos I have seen of yours only a couple wouldn't start. No playing up to viewers, just come on and start working and getting these old cars and trucks going. Thank you sir! I appreciate you
Always fun watching you get these old cars and trucks running again.
You take some remarkably crusty old vehicles and actually make them run, amazingly. keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

Молодец,у меня тоже есть трак газ 63 ,1963г на ходу.Когда смотрю твои видео многое похоже конструктивно.Удачи тебе!!!

love your enthusiasm, keep it up young man
PS any parts turned up for the cuda yet
I love the collection of old rusty trucks you have started! BTW, any updates on the AAR Baracuda??
I have had many of attempted pranks where they show some scary face in the middle of a quite video and I never flinched.

Love it!. Old school mechanics!... Not a laptop in sight!. 🤣 Really enjoy seeing old bits of kit bought back to life!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
Another great example of your expertise and skill. An absolute pleasure to watch you working 😊
That must have been an attractive truck in its prime, judging by the body colour of the firewall and the engine colour - maybe nothing special by the design standards of 1949 when most things looked good and worked well, but still a very nice execution of the one ton truck theme.
That is one cool truck. It has some real potential as a restored show truck.
I enjoyed your video tremendously. What are you doing with all of these old rigs ? Maybe one day you restore some of these beauties to the former glory.
DANG! I used to run around in one of these back in the early '70's. Great old tank! Wish I had her now...original paint and all.
Most young men your age (and a bit younger)don't know and don't care how cars work.
They will live to regret this and pay out the nose for car repair to opportunistic car mechanics and forgo the joy of " fixing something yourself by the sweat of one's brow."

Your videos bring me great joy.
Very nice old truck, they don't make them like they used to and it's running and driving again, awesome work as always 👍👍
KB-5. We had one on my aunts farm. My cousins had an International dealership. KB-2's were good trucks too.
Also sir i have a 55 International radiator that holds fluids. I live in OK. If it will fit, i will just ask the shipping price to get it to you. If it won't i understand. When i pulled it, it was filled with the green coolant
Wow ...not only the engine fired up , the truck could be driven !! 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome…great to see you bring them back to life after all those years.
I love these videos man!

When are u going back to the Cuda?
That thing is solid
That’d be awesome to see you do a full restoration on that old truck 🙂
Hows the 'Cuda coming?
