      You mentioned bleeding the brakes and clutch by yourself. I figured that one out a couple of years ago,fish tank airline/bubbler tubing. Walmart sells clear plastic tubing the right size to push on the bleeders and reach from the rear passenger side of my crew cab and reach all the way up to the master cylinder. I push one end on my bleeder and run the other end back into my master cylinder so that it’s submerged in fluid. I’ve also had good luck using just a few feet of the same tubing run into an extra brake fluid jug by the wheel cylinder I’m working on. Running it back to the master cylinder is a little easier for me though since I can see the air and fluid go past me and back to the master cylinder while I’m pumping the brakes. Works awesome and I can stay in the seat till all the air is gone,only have to go back and forth to go to the next wheel.

      My dad had an old Ford Cabover from the same era, and it had a cab release at the back of the cab that when released allowed some assist springs to lift the cab about 1/3 the way up, making raising the cab easie,r then when returning it to its locked down position, you had to pull down on the cab to compress the assist springs and engage the locking mechanism.

    Kevin I bought a reman holley ( by colt industries) and you are so right. it was 2 barrel similar to the one you have there for a Buick 3.8 even fire motor from the early 1980s. This what was wrong with it. The throttle shaft was twisted just slightly so one plate didn't close. the accelerator pump didn't work and it didn't idle because the metering block was full of white media blasting sand and the base wasn't flat. It had a tag on it and hadn't come out of the box since it left the factory. it came via a local supplier. He took the carb back and couldn't get me another one quickly. So he replaced the acc pump with the correct one took it apart and cleaned a the metering block out and fitted a better suited power valve, straightened the throttle shaft and had the base machined flat at no cost to me. That was a long time ago. Lately i've been fitting new carbs form Edelbrock . You bolt them on, attach the cable, fuel hose, the choke. you start it. It runs and idles. Check the timing, drive it for 10 minutes reset the idle and its done and no come backs for faults so far. I've fitted 5 so far and i'm happy.

    Reminds me of my '62 step side. Sat in a neighbor's yard for 45 years. Pulled it to the house, checked the oil, sprayed the cylinders, jumped it from my van and it was running in about an hour.
    That carb is probably original, and would be a stock replacement even if it isn't. If you have to time a gas IH SV-8, it times off cylinder 8, Not 1. And it uses gears instead of a chain. You can get both of those master cylinders, at about $450 apiece. The clutch slave is cheaper because it was used on light line trucks also, likely under $100. You can get rebuild kits for all of them, or be like me and use heat shrink and ingenuity. As to the engine c.i.d. there are choices, a SV-8 304 or 345, or a LV-8 401, 461, or 478. There's a bossed face behind the generator, I Think, that has the designation. They're great trucks, you'll play hell trying to kill them, if you do try, because they're made for maximum output in all quarters all day long and all night if you can keep up.

      So US petrol was effectively half the price of the UK. Plus the fact that wages were much higher in the US.

    That old binder ran pretty damn good. I see you can buy intakes and cams and such for that engine, I assume it is valve float that is really limiting for them. I wonder if you did head work, how much performance you can get. Would the bottom end stand up to a few pounds of boost? Slap a blow through system with a Holley Sniper?I mean I know they are heavy as sin but wouldn't a boosted Travelette dropped with some bags be a cool Power Tour ride.

  • @jimdieseldawg3435
    @jimdieseldawg3435 2 роки тому +1

    Dude, that is an understated lovely old truck - great find! A tip on the Hayes-type split-rim, cast-centre wheels: check the torque on the rim clamping bolts. If there’s any jacking between the wheel centre to rim pads around the bolts, it’s worth stripping them down and flattening things so they fit flat and will hold torque. Reason: a friend had a European Fiat truck on similar wheels. One day he had to brake hard and the tyres gripped but the rim clamps didn’t. Both rims on the front axle rotated around the wheel centres, chopped the valve stems off and left him at the roadside with two flat tyres and a really good story 🙂

    18:29 Hm, I knew that fuel would vaporize. I think there's different conditions though. My zero turn(Kohlerr CV750) likes some choke if I start it after it was hot. I assume it vaporized some of the fuel instead of puddling in the carb like that. Probably different designs suffer from different problems (if any, depending on the model).
    My briggs motors are less prone to that. The 84 dodge pickup we used to have never started hard hot, but fuel liked to drain back so it sure hated starting cold. I had a procedure that worked pretty well, two pumps and to set the choke, crank it, two pumps, usually fired off, if not I'd hold the throttle wide open. I suppose an electric Mr Gasket Autozone fuel pump would've helped in hindsight. This was back before I knew much about that engine or engines in general. My dad was not happy because (and being an aircraft, truck, and car mechanic for 60+ years) he knew it should not be that hard to start, but I guess he wasn't motivated enough to fix it. He kinda got tired of vehicles fighting him after so long. Still an electric fuel pump might've been the easy solution. In hindsight my procedure required some cranking probably because it was an engine driven fuel pump.

  • @galennordstrand6199
    @galennordstrand6199 2 роки тому +1

    Looks to be a 304. The 304 manifold is a bit shorter than the 345 on the ones I’ve seen. Also the length of the coolant bypass elbow is a fair indicator. If it looks like it’ll be a bear to get in/out it’s a 266/304. If it looks like you can replace it without removing the thermostat housing, it’s a 345/392.

  • @paulhetchler1635
    @paulhetchler1635 2 роки тому

    I had a number of those IHs of that vintage. That engine is most probably a 304, but that is the same block as the 345. Both the 304 and 345 had the same carb, the 2 barrel Holley. Only the 392 had the 4 bbl Holley. The 304 (plus the 345, & 392) is a good engine with stellite valve seats and sodium filled exhaust valves. No timing chains and sprockets on any of these 3 v-8s. They ran gear on gear for driving the single cam shaft. They did have hydraulic lifters and always a high oil pressure. The weak spot was the cam/lever fuel pump. When they failed, they shot oil out of a breather hole straight up on the bottom side of the hood.
    As to the hydraulic clutch, take it apart to find out what size the bore is. They use the same rubber cups as used in wheel brake cylinders. Usually they need a bit of honing out to get rid of the rust ring where the rubber cup sat for many years. There is only one rubber cup in the slave cylinder, not two. Often the master cylinder does not need rebuilding, but has just drained out the brake oil. Normal DOT 3 or 4 works fine in the clutch cylinders. The clutch pedal sticks "down" when the fluid is low. Its return depends on the return spring on the slave lever (besides the over center spring beneath the dash board).
    The rather slow cranking speed of these engines is normal. They will start even in real cold temps like -20F. That one probably has a pull knob throttle on the dash board to run a faster idle until it warms up.
    That column shifter is for the 4 speed tranny. Look carefully at the shift pattern. Some of the trucks with the conventional front end (Load Star) had 5 speed trannys, and the ones I had, had a very unusual shift pattern, but was synchro in all except the first gear.

    I’m remember driving one of these when it was new. The column shifter was a challenge when new but after the truck had more kms the gear change was like pin the tail on the donkey. This motor should be a 392 but it’s a lighter duty truck so it might be a 345.
    I’m not saying it was a fantastic engine but at the time GMC was selling offering a V6 and Chevy’s small block was limited on power. Ford offered a decent truck/motor and so did Dodge but IH had a long reputation of building trucks and the 345/392 was kind of a small/big block.
    FYI International has made a 4 cylinder that was half of a 304. The distributor app was virtually the same but 4 posts were blocked off. It was actually a very reliable motor. I had a Scout with one.

Well my grandfather bought it, had these high a$$ sides welded to it and used it as a dump truck 🤣 😂. He use to send my grandmother over the bridge near him to make sure DOT wasn’t sitting on the side of the road pulling trucks over 🤣 😂. That truck had no business hauling the loads of dirt it was.

    Nice old trucks bring back memories. Not surprised about the engine confusion among the community. There’s a famous writer for a car magazine who got the IH 304 mixed up with the AMC 304 even! The SV series V8s are truck engines. Big blocks, low RPM, thirsty and built with low rpm torque in mind, not top end hp. I blew a valve spring as a kid trying to drive a 304 powered Scout like a hot rod. They don’t like much above 4500 rpm. But down low thru the mud they pulled like a Farmall tractor. Think diesel style torque. That’s what they were meant for. Gear driven valve train too! That’s what gave every SV powered vehicle an odd supercharger style whine when pulling hard. It’s part of their character. Sixty year old technology . It’s nice to see them preserved rather than swapped out as long as they’re viable.
