Had to google what one would look like pristine never seen one being as I am from the UK. Got to say they look great like something out of a hundred movies I've seen that as middle American as it's theme. Hope you get it looking as best you can. Great Video I do enjoy your vids and your attitude to life Thanks
Good luck with that old school truck. Love it.
Thanks 👍
So here In the uk it’s 7am , I just made my coffee and open UA-cam and see Dustin has posted a new video. Today is guaranteed to be a good day👍
Same here buddy
A simple time
You're the best!
Thanks!
thank you!
Your such a chill guy @life of lind. i really enjoy your videos and work!😎🥰
I always figure. No need to get worked up over the little stuff. Thanks for the comment
IH is looking 👌
indeed!
thanks for the comment
Man this brings back memories. I’m 46 and when I was about 5 years old my parents had a International Travelall. That thing just wouldn’t die. They finally sold it and bought a Dodge Caravan when they first came out in 1984.
As much as I like the caravan. And I do. The travel all is way cooler

Lol well we live in SoCal where it gets extremely hot and the Travelall had no AC. My mom had 4 little kids so my dad no choice but to sell it.

Thank you!
what i have found is that anything built after august is usually considered next years model , i might be wrong but I've been in the car business around 35 years and august seems the magic month.
These trucks came with a random array of engine choices, but the V-8s were a 266 (4.4L), a 304 (5.0L), a 345 (5.7L), a 392 (6.4L), or a 401 (6.6L). I can't help but to wish this truck had the 392 or 401, but I'd imagine it's the 345 (which is still a good running engine, but not performance based). Good vidjya though! Always fun!
yes i need to find out so i can order some parts for it! next video i should have her dialed
This ones the 304
You're so very helpful with vehicles owned by other folks. I admire that in you!
I appreciate that!
Really love your channel and followed from the beginning pretty much. The International truck is very cool, it’s quite unusual looking but that’s part of the appeal. Definitely get this old girl singing again
hey there Richie, haven't seen you comment in a few. thanks for watching!
@@LifeofLind don't worry, I'm catching up lol
Good job. Love those old International pickups.
it's coming around to be a great truck, can't wait to get it back on the road.
Cool video
thanks!
SWEET! 😱👍
Thanks! 👍
Good. Luck
That is an awesome and rare truck. I look forward to watching the progress
You and me both!
Good video dude love it
Glad you enjoyed
Great old truck hope you can bring it back to life great video thumbs up from Australia 👍🇦🇺
That's the plan! thank you!
Cool truck, and an all round nice thing to do. Thanks for the video, and best of luck 👍
thanks for the comment!
As a previous comment suggests, the timing is possibly out, but also has stuck valves, backfiring back through the carby like it is doing would indicate stuck inlet valve igniting the fuel destined to other cylinders.
Front end shares a look with the Scout! Neat.
indeed. that is why i like it!
Dude this is awesome love the International! Can't wait tell it drives!
You and me both!
Pretty cool! I've always thought these are pretty good looking. It's your good old American 'farm truck' bouncing down the dirt roads from farm to field.
You got that right! and i agree, these looked like the scout and i think a lot of folks like those still.
Back in the 70's I drove a International Truck for work, this vehicle was a tough solid piece of heavy metal. To bad manufacturers can't make them like that anymore.
looks like one heck of a machine so far! love these old rigs!
That truck is as old as me. Its an antique. Lol
nicely aged haha
Wow, she needs some help but it fired right off, amazing. I had a couple of buddies that had these. One had the twin to the one you're working on, the other had the TravelAll. They we're both pretty much daily drivers back in the day, tough as nails and impossible to kill. This was in the late 80's and earl 90's. They were getting hard to get parts for back then so good luck!
yeah it's been a challenge so far. looking forward to getting it back on the road!
When I was a kid I remember family friends driving several of these around as their daily drivers, I specifically remember that the door latch on one truck must have been broken because they’d get in this one particular International pickup and no kidding stretch a rope across their laps to tie the doors together to stay closed! Those were the days.
haha that is awesome!
Pleasant Surprise, Good Evening Sir
Good evening! Hope all is well
Considering the State of Our Union, I’m about as good as can be expected thank You. I’m Enjoying the Channel, and That old Ranch Rig is a Jewel in my Mind. I’ll Catch You On The next One, Keep It Safe Out There Sir
Always place the capless fuel jug adjacent to the cranking maker. It's a must do. Safety third.
Was that carb a Thermoquad? It looked like it, so if so I'd shitcan it and just put a Carter AFB on it. YOU GOT THIS!!!
yup, i was thinking that too
That's awesome👍 I'm in the process of fixing up a 1975 4x4 200 with the 392 that only has 30,000 miles. if you drop the glove box a little bit more there should be the original build sheet on the truck, also check out IH Parts America.
PB Blaster is your friend!
Or Aero-Kroil!!!!
yes, all the lube! hahah
@@LifeofLind 😂
My mom thank you a lot for saying happy father's day to all those women Who is pulling father day duty My mom worked her ass off to bring me up You don't hear very many people that say that Now I am taking care of her and I'm proud of it
good on you, you should be proud of that!
i hope you can rebuilt this nice pick up . but needs lot of work !!
i remember a friend bought an international scout maybe 1980 ?? was the last year they made them or close to it, my memory is about shot ...lol...going to be interesting to see how things progress with this new toy enjoyed the video
yeah i think the last year of these trucks was 1975, the scout went on a little longer.
Get a spark tester, sounds like a few spark-plugs aren't shooting out lightning bolts. I bet the spark plug wires have super high resistance! Does it have points or electronic ignition? Distributor cap contacts are probably corroded really bad.
agreed, i think it's a combination of a few things, timing, wires, maybe the wrong firing order. digging in to it more now.
Very familiar with international's , that's a 345 V8 as u already know , engine is manufactured by Diamond Reo not a lot of hp but good torque and run forever if taken care of . Probably a good tune up would get the ol truck running great , think I heard a small exhaust leak , not sure cause background music was blocking most of the engine noise. It came off trailer with it's own power and after sitting like it has that's a good thing , we owned a 62 or 63 scout which had a slant 4 cylinder, I had a 67 in high school with a 345 , my parents had several travellalls growing up 69 ,with a 345 and a 78 with a 392 C.I. , the 392 was a highway cruiser , did 75 80 mph all day with out breaking a sweat , my dad had his truck which was a 3/4ton crew cab with 8 foot bed 4 deep on the floor would pull a house off foundation in 1st gear ........ internationals were good vehicles for there time , beat the crap out of the competition..... hope u get it going
thanks for all the info and the background story, it does seem this thing was a real heavy duty rig!
Those old IH trucks & Travel All wagons(their answer to the Chevy Suburban)were built like tanks and 4wd versions should have a cast iron transfer case with gears instead of a chain drive inside. Runs 75w-90 gear lube in it, along with front & rear diffs and manual trans. Too bad they used steel that rusted easily for the bodies.
The 345 V8 they used was no powerhouse but you could not kill them. Ignition was handled by a Prestolite distributor if I recall correctly, standard points/condenser type. I think Ford or Mopar cap/rotor fits these but not sure, been a lot of years! If it leaks oil from the rear main, that is normal as IH used rope seals back then, and, if it stops leaking, check the oil as you're probably out.
Thanks for a cool video!👍😎
thanks for the info, i'm no expert at these!
At least it fired, a tune up and carb rebuild and it will be a new truck
agreed
Rotate the engine manually from the crank snout and take off the valve covers to see if the valves/rocker arms/pushrods are opening and closing.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was surprised it started from sitting so long, I guess the owner didn't put ethanol gas in it. Since it started, seems like half the battle is already done. The paint color looked like olive drab on my end and not the greyish yellow. Looking forward to the progress on this project as well when you get the time.
Growing up in farm country in Mississippi, I don't remember ever seeing an International Harvester pickup, but I saw plenty of tractors, we had three before my dad finally gave in and got a John Deere. I did however see the toy IH pickups at the farmers supply stores and in the Sears and JCPenney's Christmas catalogs.
Great video as always, you never cease to amaze us and look forward to your next video. 👍
🛻💨✨🔥💥
Seems like I should be able to get it going here soon. And I always love the toys at the farm supply store. Still! Hahah
I'm in Iowa and I still run an IH 1466. It's a 73 (I think) and still a workhorse. It's been on our farm since around 1990. When/if it dies I'm done farming, I can't afford the newer stuff. Several of my buddies had IH trucks.
Hello
Before starting you should pour some engine oil in each cylender
And cleaning point on Distributor
I See junkyard dig guys do this thing 😃
i always just like to crank and see how bad it sounds that way i have an idea of the problems it might have, that way i don't "fix" something that didn't need it lol or make it worse without even knowing it hahaha
I reckon you got 6 out of 8 at best that are answering the call at present. It's an even number of cylinders, so it could even be four of eight! Still pulls itself off that trailer ok though, so she's still got some pressure in the ones that are playing ball and the clutch obviously works well too!
Yep, you got at least a couple of dead leads and maybe a couple of dead plugs too. The way she turned over at first I thought you had a couple of stuck valves, but she wasn't cranking long enough to pick up if she was still doing it later in the vid, but if she was still skipping a cylinder or two on crank and it turns out a valve is stuck, that would be the source of your backfiring, I'm picking. Then again, she's done a few miles, so it might be a burnt or cracked valve or two. Easy enough job to check if they move and free them up if need be. Harder if the valves are all moving and she's still skipping and backfiring. Hope its the easy one!
I reckon you got it all sorted though. Seen you fix worse! All the best.
yup bought time to pull the old valve covers off and dig in a little deeper.
Make sure the firing order is correct. Someone may have mixed up the first two wires on the left side. 1 and 3 if it's the same firing order as a small block Chevy. Probably the same, as AMC and Chrysler were numbered that way as well. Ford, well, they did stuff differently, and then they circled the problem. LOL. That's a cool old rig, for sure. Not a lot of HP, but I bet the torque numbers are strong, and in the low part of the rev range, just where you want it for a REAL truck! Cool that it's a 4x4. Not sure how rare that 4x4 is, but I see a LOT of these in 2wd configuration, and IH didn't exactly sell a bunch of trucks....so I'd say she's pretty rare. Please update when you get the tune figured out. Oh, that ThermoQuad carb? They work well....when they work! Same as a Rochester QuadraJet in that sense. Love Holley carbs myself, but in your case with the IH, an Edelbrock would probably bolt right up, and work WAY better.
great tips! i'm digging more in to it now, should have it figured out soon! Thanks!
hi, try getting the right firing order perhaps or a valve is sticking open.. the backfiring is constant so its not right / perhaps.
"self-clearanced" 🤣
LOL
im probably too late to complement the vid, still a great video none-the-less
not at all! thanks
Its got a lot of water inside the distributor after washing it down... they all do that
First things first ditch the thermal quad it will run way better. Next look on the block on the driver's side for a casting number. International always cast the cubic inches on the block.
Great advice. I’ll check it out. And also agree on the carb
I have owned several internationals. If you get it tuned right it will run like a sewing machine
Backfiring is caused by incorrect timing. The backfiring will mess up the carb, so I suggest you rebuild it.
The rocks in the defroster vent, see, you get them heated up, pour on some water and, wahla, instant sauna!
Brilliant
Nice pick um up truck Dustin, but when you gonna get back on PICKLE???????
thinking about building the 4 bolt 350 that is currently in the Winnebago once its pulled out. then i want to see if i can get in some race week style events
Hey Dustin in Australia its not fathers day yet ours is the 4th of September 😉 Great video as always cannot wait till you get back to the fastest winnie 😁 By the way its a dog ugly truck lol 😂
ah well happy early fathers day down under!
Is that a 392 minutes hot rod motor for international
still digging in to it to see what it is. think it's the 345
If it’s the 345 I think it takes like six cylinder Ford points Pretty odd huh
Try dropping the glove box to see if the line set is still there. I also think it is a 1975.
it might be a 1975, just built in 1974. i do see that a lot
let it idle while the lifters fill. the engine id is on a pad on the pass front block corner, you can see it over the top of the tire. It has set so long the lifters are dry. dont rev the damn thing.
cheaper to buy a repop thermoquad then mess with that old worn out one
I agree.
sounds great, thanks for the advice!
Man i live in the wrong state .Here were i live in west Virginia most trucks like this one are rust bucks and to far gone
PLEASE add 10-15 deg timing...btdc!!!!
Hi Dustin,
I watch a channel called 'Travel Beans' and they had flown to the US to embark on a camper experience, something they do in Europe in their small Volkswagen T4 around the UK and Europe.
During their visit, their Dearborn camper caught fire whilst driving and went up in flames - Their US dream was over! In their latest video they were looking to make a return and looking to get another camper for their trip and also looking to start their trip somewhere other that Texas, because it's hot as ass!!!
I suggested in the comments that hitting you up would not be a bad idea. I'll link their latest video so you can see what they are up to, but from a selfish point of view, it would be cool to see two of my favourite channels collaborate on something as I think you could both help each other.

hi there! haven't heard of their channel before but i will check it out! thanks for the tip!
@@LifeofLind that makes me happy! 😎
Check the firing order. It sounds like a couple are switched.
Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!! (BABBVEN LAWS AND TEBBVEN ORDERS)
"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so."
Anyone get killed in that wreck?
haha
The simplisafe plug is getting really stale now. Great footage and topic
, but move on
i agree, but i signed a year long contract with them.... because shops don't pay for themself hahaha
34 minute video. First 20 bullshit..been a subscriber for a long time. Can't do it anymore bye
so you want me to just crank on some old machine with no explnation and make a 10 min video instead?
mate u shood do a talk show not a will it run video blare blare blare thats all u do.
some folks need the explaining
You’re taking too long on this junk
