Thanks for watching and subbing I appreciate all of you. It’s a big blessing !
Hey, Travis, I love all the videos on this truck! Watched them all! I have a 46 international as well and need to rebuild or replace the carb. I wanted to ask if you could give me some info on the carb you used.
They don't build trucks like that no more these days if you have a vehicle that sits for years it's ruined but that old truck still has a life ahead of it
I love that old truck I got a old Chevy I drive
Who can notice strange something?
Something shared between Father&son who make this video beautiful and attractive to follow.
Hay guys wish you the best..keeeeeeep it going !!!
Comment for the algorithm. Love this. My uncle still runs a ‘53 Chevy my great-grandfather bought brand new. Love these old truck. Love seeing new life in them.
Thanks for commenting for the algorithm. And that’s very cool it’s still in the family
I know nothing about cars but I enjoyed watching this
That means a lot thank you
I really want to see you two fix this truck up. I think it’s awesome watching you bring this truck to life.
I agree!
You and your dad do it RIGHT, Making something useful again, old school the right way, the dedication on the 46 was outstanding, I'm 75 years old, and your content has convinced me too subscribe, well done you 2.well done. Will continue to be a viewing member.
I would love to see it run on the road again. Resurrection of this old truck is fantastic. Great USA craftsmanship back in the day of building a decent strong utility vehicle. I am looking forward to the next video and others to come. Good job
There's something extremely satisfying about taking an old engine that has been sitting for decades and making it run then seeing it running as smooth as a sewing machine as if it never was parked in the first place
My dad had one 50 years ago and I used to drive it all over the place. It was really a fun drive. At that time, though, the truck looked like new and I think I remember the bed being metal. Loved that old thing.
Thank you for sharing !
Terrific video! Use that pressure washer to get all the old dirt and crud out of everywhere, especially on that undercarriage. When you took that inspection cover off that gearbox I had nightmares of dirt getting in there. It was totally covered in dirt and there's no sense in trying to work around crud. Blast off everything and use PB Blaster on those hinges. IHC built tons of those trucks before, during and after WW2 so parts are out there, even for the mashed up front fender and grill.. The gas tank can be boiled out with oxalic acid and hot water. Good luck and keep going!!
That’s cool as hell! Those old flat head 6s and 8s had low compression but they’ll run forever and are smooth as glass. They definitely don’t make them like they used to. After the apocalypse and the Earth cools down these things will still be running.
That is for sure. Tough as nails
surely im not the only one that was staring at his ratchet and thinking its right there😂, when he said “wheres my ratchet”
I just love you guys reserecting these old trucks. I'm 80 years old and those old babies are right in my "wheelhouse". I much prefer old vehicles anyway. I ain't crazy about all these new fangeled computer managed vehicles. When I'm driving, I want to be the computer.
Haha I like that last sentence. I agree with you. I don’t like the idea of software driving me
@@theetravisb Well, I also want to say, " keep up the good work guys". I really enjoy watching your videos. I drive an old '67 Chev Caprice that I bought back in 1997. Got it from the Lady that bought it new in Sept. of '67. Wouldn't trade it for anything they have nowadays!
Sending Positive Vibes! You & Dad are off to a great Start!
Thank you
@@theetravisb You're Welcome.
You guys are fun, Im 68 so I can remember the shade tree mechanic days, when we could actually work on things :)
When it first started sound like a p-51 awesome find. I hope you enjoy
love hearing the old engine..running like a sewing machine thanks!
Wow,run like a singer sowing machine. 👍👍👍👍
I love these old trucks you bring home,
Then you breath new life into them!
Ah man that first startup was righteous
Its nice to see that professional mechanics have the same trouble and same techniques as everyone else when it come to siezed up drums.
"professional mechanics" 😅😅😅😅😂
Are you kidding me?

Hello from California! I'm always intrigued by these videos, by far your channel is awsome. My dad and I, right now is rebuilding his 74 f100 dent side from the ground up has a 360 ci in it with original 89,000 miles on it. I can't wait to see your international fully restored!
That’s cool you guys are doing it together. Thank you for watching
Great job guys! It's good to see a father son combo saving the history of the old work horses. Thank you. One thing have you guys looked at maybe a wireless mic set Bluetooth?
Thanks for watching. I do have a wireless mic. It’s just from Amazon. Need to upgrade soon I know haha.
Wood bed floors were used on up into the late 70s and early 80s and yes some old truck beds did have all metal floors.
That’s not a storage space up above the windshield. That’s an access panel to get to the wipers.
New subscriber from Ireland. Really enjoying it folks! Keep it up.
Cheers man thanks for watching
I came from TikTok been following you on TikTok for a while now watching your tube very impressed and love the way these videos are set up. Keep it up got a follow from. I’m a old car anything lover my self and I’m restoring a 1970 charger at the moment.
Thank you for that feedback glad you are here
You can use A tractor carburetor on that truck.& You might half to switch over the linkage mounting brackets.& Linkages to it to work properly again to for that truck.
I’m always glad to see a new vid from you. Hope you’re doing good. Take care.
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation Travis, I really enjoyed it
Good to see you and your dad working together on it. Would like to see more of this truck 🚒!
Awesom awesome job Travis, great work in troubleshooting and getting the engine to eventually idle. I look forward to having myself a car project in the future when I have more disposable income. I’m rooting for ya and can’t wait for the next episodes
*Reverse is towards you and up, toward you and down is 1st. Away and up is 2nd, away and down is 3rd.*
Love my 3 speed on the tree
Take care bro, video was a nice way to wind down for bed. Love the amounts of fire, scorpions and sketchy looking fan belts. Keep it up
They never should have abandoned it. Much safer than a floor shift.
@@michaelbenardo5695 I can’t believe it’s a relic from the 30/40’s but it works damn well. Hell when I bought the trans was completely dry cos all the oil must’ve run out the rear yoke seal. Replaced that seal and oil and it was night and day. Never bound on me yet
@@74nova36 Most mid 30s and 1940s vehicles were actually superb machines. If used as daily drivers today with today's synthetic oils and with a good oil filter, something that was an option even on some 60s vehicles, they would probably never wear out, and would be totally reliable as well. In contrast, today's wonderkars, if forced to live on yesteryear's lubes, will probably be scrap by about 60,000 miles.
@@michaelbenardo5695 I run shell rotella with extra ZDPP zinc additive, and my 74 came with provision for an oil filter. She loves to run, that’s a fact. Single barrel carb has yet to fail me. Chevy inline 250ci 4.1 liter
I've got my great grandpa's 1946 K-3 farm truck. It is in very similar condition to yours. It also has a metal bed. The engine is stuck and one of the tappets is broken. I may do an engine swap. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes out!
Beautiful truck you are so lucky to find that awsum truck.man that will and is a super truck.the way trucks should be made.love this video Joey. Bunk auto and small eng.saline Louisiana
I love these videos, I get to learn more because you guys record everything! You don’t skip over the little stuff. Great job
Thank you for the feedback
That Old International wants to Live Again. It's ALIVE. Be Great to see that Truck 🚚 Rolling down the Road Again
Saw this on the tictok came to watch the full video
Thank you for coming all this way from tiktok 💪🏼
What a cool truck, I’m so glad you like it the way it sits too. Man? Those scorpions must mean serious business. I don’t know about them but I’ve always heard the smaller the more dangerous, and your reflexes tell me that must be true in this case
That was amazing 👏 i loved hearing and seeing you guys work on this truck keep up the good work 👏 😁
Careful with that HF low pro jack. Works great but mine went low on fluid after a decade and would slowly bleed down, just needed more oil and a bleed out, she’s fine now.
I found y'all on Instagram and was intrigued by your awesome find, my grandpa loved old International trucks and he was a diehard Ford man and being a farmer and logger Trucks were very important . I don't know if this helps but I remember 49 Ford & 49 international ran the same axles and a lot of the parts except body parts would interchange only thing might be different is old military they used what ever fit in my experience. Look forward to seeing more of this gem.
The scorpion had me laughing
Oh buddy, that’s quite a project!✌️
Amazing startup! Love it!
Must admit, I was wincing at the stomping and twisting on the bone-dry switches, knobs and handles. Pretty sure I was mouthing the words “For the love of Mary…PB Blaster, man!” 😆
Looking forward to seeing the progress!
I did use a lot of mystery oil in the making of this video just fyi lol
I'm here for all your content!!
Thank you for watching !
Saw you on tiktok! Best wishes from Hungary. I would give my arms to fix old american cars as hobby/job. Great content!!
Thank you for watching. Means a lot
I'd add in some zinc additives with your oil change for sure. It's not going to hurt that engine for sure at all either.
Really enjoy your videos! 👏🏻 Hoping for many more projects to come 😊 You and your dad seem super nice! All the best to you and thank you for all the hard work and content 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇸🇪
Hope to see the truck all restored back it it’s glory and drivable, I have a 77 f750 stubby dumptruck I’m currently working on. You are right parts are very hard to find and even if you get your hands on them they want an arm and a leg
Enjoy that time with your dad. Love watching you two work together. Liked and subbed!
Thank you doc.
When pulled towards you, the gearshift goes from' reverse to first when moved up or down, when pushed away, that's second and third.
When video creators make me laugh, I make sure I hit the like button. Your scorpion killer flame thrower did it for me.😁
What a great video! Can't wait for the next upload 😁
Thank you for watching
What a dream!
I thought my other will it run videos were getting old vehicle's going. You gentlemen take the cake. Lol. New subscriber. Love the channel. God bless.
Thank you for watching me and my dad appreciate that
My grandfather was blind in one eye so his depth perception was bad. He regularly ran the '55 Ford pickup into things by misjudging the distance. Concrete edges, heavy steel equipment, and tractors. Our truck had similar dents and holes. Totally believable that he hit things.
Love it my father only drove international travelall
My 46 long bed was metal.
Interesting. Thought they were all wood.
I like the content. Keep it up. On to ep2
Binder boneyard has got a good selection of old IH parts
Where’s that at?
@@theetravisb i would also check out ih parts america
Congratulations guys, that toy is running outstanding after all those years, man I would like to be there with you guys, with my background in those old equipments we could have it running in no time including the whole electrical system, too bad I am several thousands miles away, I am an old man about your dad's age but my skills are 100 percent there and I love those toys, please make the best of it and please, please keep us updated, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico, Jesus Torres.
Thank you for watching Jesus. Much appreciated
@@theetravisb most kind of you guy's for shearing with us your outstanding project, blessings to and your love ones guys.
Awesome challenge.
Respect
Great video on the old Binder
Back in '68 I had a '49 International P/U...I thought it was really rough...compared to yours it was showroom fresh!
😂 fair enough
Those old half ton trucks were uually 6 1/2 foot beds, when you get to the 3/4 and one ton trucks they were normally 9 foot beds.
You guys are amazing! I love your videos!🙌
Appreciate that
Hell yeah, excited for this series, greetings from riverside California 🤠
Thank you for sharing. God Bless 🙏
Cool old truck. You could plow with that corn binder. Thanks for the video from my hill top in. Sc
These "will it start" guys always tease us. They know they have to clean the carb, but they always do other stuff first.
Note: I don't know anything about car repair (this is a general UA-cam comment), however; you need tension to tell a good story.
Very engaging video! Thanks
Love to see the finished project
Love your videos, keep up the good work. We've nothing like it in the UK!!
Awesome thank you for watching Phil
Can't wait for the big clean up and fixing 🙌 up of things take care ail hi from Australia.
Looking forward to seeing it on the road 😊🛣️
I don’t know how powerful that pressure washer is. But on a decently powerful one the last tip you want to use is red aka zero degree tip. Can cut through wires. 2x4s if powerful enough. I know mine will! 15degree tip is my fav
Congratulations on getting it running! Now you need to find a radiator and put tires on it and see how it runs.
When a motor has been napping for a number of years the rings get stuck with varnish and the valves and seats get a bit of rust on them... After you get it started, even if using ether... After it runs a bit everything loosens up and the surface rust gets knocked off the valves ......your compression jumps right up.
@@MaxGiganteum I agree....if chronic rust is involved it's best to pull the head and lube the valve stems with a good penetrant and roll them over to low cam lightly knocking them down with a soft face hammer....I have seen engines messed up with stuck valves
I just found ur video and channel.i loved the video. I subscribed and will tell more ppl about ur Channel great work.👍
Thank you for watching man I’m glad
That's the style truck I was looking for when I was searching for one. Love them older trucks. I had to settle for a farm field 93 F150. I want a truck that looks beat up and used. That's what they're used for. Lol. Tells a story. And that trucks got some stories. Shoulda left the scorpion in there so when it started, pieces of it would blow out the exhaust 😆 We're lucky here in SC. We only got brown scorpions. They hurt, but they won't kill ya. And I LOVE hearing ratty lookin cars and trucks actually run. I would straight up drive it like it is. And those brakes......my word they are so simple. Even my 75 Furys drum brakes have springs and levers all in them. Confusing.
Please don't ever use cinder blocks on the weak side like that they have no structural integrity. Place them with the cells vertical they are stronger. Just don't want to see anyone get hurt. Great video nice to see that old truck run. Keep up the good work!
Actually, don't use them at all ever!! Axle stands of hardwood blocks will keep you safe.
But I am looking forward to seeing it being driven.
Loved.your production.
The transmission in those old cornbindets are a pain to get figured out! Good job!!
That thing sounds surprisingly good!
Awesome video thank you God Bless
Thank you. God bless
That's the thing about flatheads you put battery on it and it just works.
Too bad nobody kept using them for trucks and other applications where you don't need super-high performance.
Simple is so much better.
@@MaxGiganteum But those with computers are not simple. Simple is so much better.
@@MaxGiganteum If the modern engine is an updated version of an old-style engine, such as the last Ford 302 and the last Chevy small-blocks,you can. Just replace the intake manifold. You will also need to replace the oil pump and/or the camshaft and put a distributor in it, as the computer would be looking for the FI computer and cause problems. GM LS engines can also be converted the same way. I don't if any of the others can though.
@@MaxGiganteumtwo words: Profit restrictions. This will force these manufacturers to build things properly and not be wasteful in design. Produces less emissions and waste versus building a complete new vehicle 😮😊
When breaking loose frozen drums try banging on the backing plate as the shoes sit tight to it....they don't sit tight to the face of the drums ...but it gets those shoes knocked loose often
New subscriber, love the channel looking forward to more content.
Thank you!
Thanks for trying to get it on the road
You funked up that scorpion 🦂 🔥
The accuracy with the hammer when hitting the “lug” was great haha
Ok, that was quite a feat!!!
Enjoyed, very cool ................... 👍👍🙂
Awesome!! Would love to see it on the road! Saludos from Argentina
Great video
I have a 1967 International it ran when parked 30 odd years ago now it won't turn over even after Marvel Mistry Oil so eventually we hope to get her running again
43,000 miles on a 50 year old car? That’s a a steal and a half right there.
everytime you put your hand out and point out something i keep expecting to hear yep thats factree right there lol
Have a 39. They all had metal beds.
Really enjoy your videos. Really cool to see a father and son working together. Ur dad seems really cool. Ur very blessed to have him.
Looking forward to ur next vid
Thank you for watching. yes it’s a blessing to have my dad around
Agreed lost my dad a long time ago. And mom just recently. Got a good step father thankfully. Not sure for how long. So I must cherish the time I do have!
@@theknifeconnection9571 ur very blessed. Please savor every minute you have
