- WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A GOOD FRIEND OUR OURS...MR C.E. SMITH, GIVE US THIS 1965 IH LOAD STAR 1700. WE TALKED ABOUT THE TRUCK AND MY INTENTIONS ON THE PHONE. HE WOULDNT TELL ME WANT HE WANT FOR IT...HE JUST SAID "COME AND LOOK AT IT AND WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT". I HAD NO IDEA THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE SO GENEROUS! THANKS TO C.E., HIS WIFE AND HIS SON FOR TREATING US LIKE OLD FRIENDS!
Thanks JC for all the nice things you said about my family. That truck just wasn't safe haul what I needed to, I certainly didn't want to put one of the boys in it an get hurt. On the other hand it's in to good of shape to scrap, the motor always ran like a top. I thought maybe I would build something but I never have any extra time and if sat there another year it would be scrap so have at it good luck and God bless
and there he is folks! C E SMITH! it would have broke my heart to see it get scrapped. it has just the right amount of character to make what i want to do look really good! as soon as i finish brandon's rear differential...i will start the very delicate disassembly. i hope this project brings you as much enjoyment as it will me! thanks again my friend! let the videos begin!
Those old loadstar are sweet looking trucks. International makes really nice trucks and are my favorites, especially the Transtar and Emeryville cabovers.
I drove an old '65 Loadstar many years ago. Sweetest running gas V-8 ever! Never failed to start even on the coldest mornings.
53 years old, parked up for who knows how long and it still starts better than a lot of much newer vehicles. That's one sweet engine for an old truck...
I had a 65 1700 and ran it for 20 years. It was a damn good truck. My truck had an 18500 pounds rear end. this one has a 17000 rear with a 7000 front axle I would say it has a 345. I use the 392 after the 345 gave up.
That's awesome 👍
I have had one of these around the farm for like 20 years with a dump box and haven’t used it in years and currently cutting it up to make a dump trailer but saving the cab and clip to hopefully put on a newer 1 ton chassis for a project
Anyone else scared not seeing a winch blanket? Great truck!
i have this truck with a winch and 5 rollbacks with winches. one has a 30,000 lbs winch, i have never felt the need for a winch blanket.
@@j.c.smithprojects ever since I saw one snap and go through a windshield I’ll never not use one. I too have been looking for a loadstar for awhile. They’re all hiding on farms. Lol. great project!
Great Truck made when they were meant to be used. I do like the sounds of the engine I remember them carbs are very toutchy. Great video thanks my friend keep up the great work and I will see you in the next video.
it sure sounded great didnt it? i should be starting tear down tomorrow!
What a score ,what a friend . what memories for me , I drove one that had a Holmes wrecker on it, but I believe it was a 63. mine had air, windwing at 30 and it had power steering by Armstrong. waiting for the build vids, come on shake a leg..
i hear ya on the air and power steering! the tear down starts TODAY!
Well first time I've been this early. Very generous of CE. Can't wait to see the outcome
i am very thankful to CE for hid generosity! he and his family were very welcoming and treated us like onld friends!
What a gr8 deal 4 a buck. Should make a gr8 rod, and u still have all the OG stuff left 4 the restorers...
learned to drive on a 70 ih loadstar those are tough as nails. Awesome deal too for a buck.. sweeeet
Sweet old truck. Thanks fro sharing
glad you liked it...thanks for waitching!
That's a nice truck you have picked up JC looks in really great shape for its age looking forward to seeing this project take shape . See you have had plenty of snow in your area too.
yeah buddy we got some snow. the temperature has come up and it is melting off. i am very excited to start this one!
Good things happen to good people...sure looks cold up there...from what l can see - that truck looks pretty good to me
C.E. sure was generous! we are going to remove the engine and transmission and give to logan @ back farms for his truck project. it has been cold but it warmed up to the 40's lately. the truck should do just fine for my plan!
my dad's 69 pick up had the 345 and 4 speed was a fun truck to drive
I’d say that taking the carb off and cleaning it would really help. The cabs on those old IHs were really beefy and I loved them and the hoods and grills. 😃 I have a friend that has a couple of these old IHs...you’ll have to let me know if you’re interested in checking them out. Have FUN!😎
I always loved the old cornbinders. Even 50 years on that little 345 sounded like it still had life left in it. Now I know I heard "Cummins" and "rat rod" in there but a 6V92 with an Allison would be quicker (they're often used in big rig racing.) Just saying.
Overall a great project and an excellent deal. A genuine cornfield Corvette.
this is to be a functional daily use truck when its done. i want the cummins for mpg, hp, torque and overal reliability...plus i can fix it! i want a manual trans for the reliability and the better gear ratio spread...what i have in mind will be a very long project that is for sure!
I got the 1800 with 392, 5 speed, 3 speed watson brownie that I pulled with a quickness, two speed rear, twenty four foot steel bed with tail spool, twin cylinder three stage hoist, and power everything plus micro lock, and here's the best part.... one wheel brake and the other three drums were missing! That brake would just warm the drum up if you moved it but it would hold the truck on flat ground. Now the emergency was on the drive line and it did hold... story was that they actually tried to drive it that way and took out one drive line but I had problems with the other two drive lines. Oh and the twenty thousand pd. winch was mounted between the frame rails, a shallow drum. It went to a block mounted to the last cross member that was braced from hell and the line went over a roll in the front of the bed to another roll that let the line out the back. I really don't know why but I think that was the only way to get the line onto the bed. And the hood was glass tilt made in anchorage at some shop. I did fix the truck and then was going to lose it in the deal so gave it to my grandson who still has it. thieves have been picking at it for the radiator and some of the tires but that was one fun truck
I've hauled alot of Manure in one alot like that 1,wasn't a power house but it would chug chug chug right along.
Great video as always and I think you will make a nice rat rod out of it and I look forward to seeing you build it thanks Heath
hello heath! i hope it will make for some interesting videos! and a lot of them!
That is a nice contribution toward your momentum on the build. There is one of these trucks near me, completely restored, but just sitting on the street. It hasn't been touched in a year. I have no idea who owns it. But it looks great.
that was a great gift from C. E. smith. great man right there and his family were awesome too!
+J.C. SMITH PROJECTS You'll have to take him/them for a spin when you get it done.
that is what i said when ce and i was talking. when i get it finished we will have to put a trailer on the back and go pick up another project truck with it!
Thank you for producing thoughtful and very informative videos. You do it the way it is supposed to be done.
From 1970 to 2002 I Enjoyed working on Int/Navistars They were a pleasure to service!
Lordy! I could do most anything on these. I think the oldest one I worked on was a 1956 with a Big ole 6 cyl.
OMG The clutches & Brakes were a daily for me! Thx for the memories !
Cool video love the new truck
thank you and thanks to C.E. Smith for his generosity!
I m sure you know what you're doing and what you want for the truck. I know you're busy and from what I saw on the video those fenders are toast. I m guessing they made that body style many year so maybe it wouldn't be too hard to find good one and besides it would save you time and give something better to work with . It's all good whatever you decide!
i will patch the fenders for now and continue to look for a donor truck with another body. hopefully it will be a really enjoyable project!
Nice old truck...
I hope it involves an IH diesel engine. And not a T444 lol! Can't wait to see what you've come up with. Thanks for the video!
i can promise you it will not get a t444...powerstroke international engine!
Rat Rod Build🤔.... That will definitely be interesting to see.... You got that cheaper than a McDouble😁... Can't wait
oh what an exciting project! it will be tons of work but it will be worth it!
I liked ferds till they got ate up with stupid in 04 and the 6.OH and newer powerjokes.
Sweet truck, man she fired right up. I love IHs.
Hey i am actually about to buy a 1971 loadstar 1600 that I am going to do a similar project with, i'll try to make it short but my dad had a 1971 international just like this one and i want to do a build to honor him since he's passed away, and i found one in a town an hour and a half away, got an engine for it almost rebuilt (sbc 350) i have a T5 world class manual i am going to rebuild for it, 2003 dodge durango complete rearend for it (12 bolt 9 3/4 ring gear, 3.55 gears, sway bar and disc brakes), (going to get the front end part with K member and steering rack and all that next week too for it) then i'm gonna strip it down to cab hood, fenders and frame, bring it down to about 6 inches off the ground and make a street truck toy out of it :) , keep me updated on your progress.
I like the old load star sure it will be cool!!
i sure hope so johnny! it could be really nice if i had your body skills!
I am no body man my friend Matt done most all of that on mustang. We normally trade out work.
COOL that is going be one great rat rod
i sure hope so.
J.C. It may be time to clean house so you can buy more fun projects...
I'm kinda curious as to what you'll do with the truck man it looks like it's in pretty good shape I think you should use the old rims too man I think they would be the best rims for it anything else might look out of place.
my plans for this truck are to get the body off of the chassis. a friend is going to use the engine and trans in another project. i am going to try to build this as a quick project..i guess i should say...i want to build it quickly. mostly with parts i have laying around. this will be a budget build. after it is done and driving well, i will then go on to the really neat stuff.
The first truck you've been able to double your money on ...I'll come to pick it up tomorrow for 2 dollars.
That is a nicely appointed truck for then, did it have a 4 bbl carb? It looked like a medium riser intake manifold.
That truck was obviously down in eastern Canada because it’s rusted out on the fenders. Trust me I live in Canada
I have a 64 named Elmer it’s a swb I drive for fun
It seemed like there were a million of those on the road in the 70s and on into the 80s.
i still see them on farms here and there. i am very excited about this project!
It is in really good condition it will make grate rat rod project
i hope it turns out half as good as i am thinking.
It will be neat to watch you build it reminds me of the 55 Ford I had
We see who ate their Wheaties this morning... I'm surprised you didn't turn green an morphed into the hulk....
i dont think it is as difficult as you might think...i little push here and a little push there...and whala!
Good morning sir. I need some help. Can you tell me if a 6.9L diesel would bolt up to the transmission in one of these? I’m looking to do a swap 6.9L in place of a 345. Maybe you can help me find out if the bellhousing bolt pattern will swap.
Hi pretty nice old truck but come on even if you're going to rat rod it you could probably find a pair of fenders and a running board unless you not using running boards .
we will see...you know how this works...once the project gets going...plans change...we go a little farther...then a little farther.
You lucky my 1964 loadstar 1700 cost me 450. I'm still torn on what to do with it. Rat rod. Resto rat. Or restore it
Please tell me your going to salvage the 2 speed and classic IH shifter that's a solid truck
i will not be using the 2 speed axle. it will be getting either newer 4 wheel disc brakes or full air brakes. i will be keeping the ih shifter.
I love the old Loadstars. IHC use to make great trucks. But computers plastic and DEF ruined many brands. The new trucks are blaaahhhh.
C.E. Smith?? You guys could be related? He likes to do Ford swaps, you like to do Ford swaps, you like internationals, seems he likes them too.. That's a classic international almost reminds me of the old trucks used to haul grain from the farm. I am sure you will have something in mind to do with it.
i do have a plan.....and it met C.E.'s approval!
Looking forward to see what you got cooking for it.
I thought i heard you say something about building a rat rod .
you heard right my friend!
It would be cool as a rat rod
it will be a rat rod doug!
That's going to be a neat project. If you don't mind me asking are you thinking a usable rat rod or just a pleasure ride?
my ultimate plan is for it to be completely functional rat rod tow rig. a diesel engine, manual transmission, low and mean air ride suspension, 22.5 alcoas, stacks, chrome bumper and polished stainless full rear fenders. i want it to be safe, reliable, capable and comfortable at highway speeds while towing 16,000-25,000 lbs.
Now that sounds like a plan, I'll be looking forward to watching it.
Good plan ..... that's exactly what I would do with it!
too bad we dont have some of that rust free stuff like you do in your area!
I see years of work lol
lets hope not. i want this to be a quick project.
that's what I tell my self some times you that never happens
what happened to the wood stove and ceiling project
Not really. Any Loadstar up til 75 the fenders will fit (but the fenders from a Loadstar school bus are shorter in the rear, so you would have no place to mount the step). 75-80 International did away with the butterfly hood and came out with the tilt hood (will fit any Loadstar, but the grille, fenders, and hood will have to go, and hinges would have to be installed on the frame).
What's Mr c.e channel name
"CE Smith"
J.C. SMITH PROJECTS thank you
Stranding next to the tight as hell winch cable? No good. Atleast throw a jacket or something on it just incase.
i have heard people doing that. i have considered changing over to synthetic line.
I’ll give you $2.00 dollars for the truck and double your money. Haha.
