I don’t get the point of subscribing. All the benefits to the channel and nothing for you. They get paid yet you get nothing. They hawk their merch and most give nothing back to viewers. Most don’t even pay for parts or the vehicles. I know two channels that majority of their will it runs all parts are bought by owners. The time is comped by letting them film. So what’s the benefit of subscribing?
@diemaschine2287 the benefit to you is more content. If you enjoy what they are doing, what's the harm in subscribing and giving the content creator more resources to create the content. Guys like VGG have sponsors and a massive base, smaller channels like this one need the subs to keep the lights on. Just my 2 cents.
That is exactly right, thank you. @diemaschine2287 Our channel is small. We get no parts for free. The point of susbscribers is that the advertisers look at the number of subscribers as one of the ways to gauge whether they will request a sponsor partnership. The benefit to the viewers is more and better content. If you like the content, a subscription helps us provide more of it. We never charge the vehicle owners for parts or labor, and we never will.
Too bad for this baby! Dad worked for Wood-Pecker Truck, Pendleton Eastern Oregon in the late 60's and 70's, on the weekends he'd drive home different Scouts, company rigs he'd take us camping and hill climbing, thanks for the memories!
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. That is a nice looking survivor even if it does not start it should be save ! Richard after watching your videos you do not give up , starting is your middle name ! Enjoy the stuff you and the Mrs. , put very enjoyable ☕️👀😎👍
Richard pull a plug and make sure it is firing thru the plug. Spark tester maybe grounded thru plug and show a false fire?? Also compression sounds low but it don’t take much to fire the old amc they low compression motors. Good show you two work hard on these survivors.❤❤
Failure is one of the options. Not everything is going smoothly every time. This is life. This truck was challenge from first till last minute in every aspect staring from the hood hinges. But I do believe you will make it run. Thank you for this video. Can't wait next!
I’ve got a ‘70 Travelall that’s been in my family since it was new. It’s sitting on a piece of property in the woods where it was parked in the 80s for some sort of fuel issue. It has the 392 and the body is solid. This video inspired me to try to resurrect it.
Well, ya can't win em all. But if I know Richard, he hasn't got any quit in him. The Maverick will be a fun one too. That Continental will be a huge challenge just to get to it. But those are worth saving too. I'll see ya both in the next one. I'm rootin fer ya!
Hi Richard and Christina ! When I was a much younger man , I worked at a wheel alignment shop. Anytime we had an old " binder " that needed parts , we always cringed ! They were kinda conglomerations of parts from other manufactures. You are right though on the steel....that's old heavy duty agriculture grade stuff ! You think maybe timing could be an issue preventing it from running ? ( Maybe chewed up gears ?) The heavy hood strap , that was for safety. Those old Internationals were so fast , they'd blow their own hoods off ! Lol lol lol lol Great Video ! Bless you both !!
Thanks so much. It is an interesting mix of parts for sure! I don't think timing is the culprit, because it should at least pop, and that never happened.
That truck looks to be in good shape even like you say if you another motor in it would ok cause that truck needs to be running again thanks for the video I enjoyed it thanks Richard and Christina
Great effort - I am sure you will get it to wake up soon. Looking forward to the two other rigs (maverick and the one stuck in the trees) - thanks guys
Christina I believe you’re right it’s a short bed. My grandfather purchased one to deliver LP gas bottles. That bed was straight like a Ford. Same tail lights. Just enclosed. I agree Richard that carburetor is the problem. Know you’re going to get it. That Lincoln is going to need some tree removal. To free it from its jail.I believe you could pull it out from the back. Cut That rear tree down .I would Thank you for taking us along. Even though it did not run today. I believe as good as you are it will Live again. 💯👊👍💕
She sure was a stubborn one, but a cool truck for sure. Maybe the next one will just take off for you. But I don't know about that Lincoln, too many trees around it, you will need a good chain saw, though! But I'm sure you can do it. Anyway, the two of you are fun to watch. I enjoy the content very much! I always look forward to your videos!
I would love to be driving around a truck like that again. Remember that was the Rural American farmers truck, because they trusted in a tractor manufacturer. and were built no frills to break, just work and work. I would bet $100.00 that truck went to the junk yard because of the owners son trying to hotrod around in it.
You don’t win them all Richard , but thanks for the old college try. Look forward to the Maverick attempt. That must have been a sweet ride back in the day with an 8 and standard on the floor shifter.👍👍🇨🇦
Excellent video Christina , Eugene :) , Richard :) also yes sometimes certain are dead to need updates on motor and transmission to! I remember my late dad & his brother 1978 GMC High Series Serria Scottdale 25 3/4 ton big 3/4 ton was doing so good and in 1993 haul grain from combine to grainery in home barn in hot summer of July month! When uncle Reverse gear on automatic transmission he got up in second floor heard big bang ! So uncle turn motor off put Netural gear push truck to Grain elevator in middle of barn and dump the grain out wood box in metal truck ! Then got done pop hood and time chain plate cover was shine chrome not blue on motor and my uncle tried starting up motor no go ! So pull up to machine shed with loader tractor and put bucket below on engine oil and time chain plate! Took newer 1990 Chevrolet Cheyenne 3/4 ton put wood grain box hump up with 2 hay square in truck metal box ! Did grain haul with on last 15 acres combine need to put in grainery in barn! Then when got done and work at night check what happened to 1978 GMC truck and time chain snap and broken time gears on Crankshaft and Cam too so had put new one and but 350 V8 motor 4 barrel need be rebuilt it was missing on right and left side on 3 cylinders bad like missing fire! To bad 350 V8 in old 1976 Chevrolet Impala went in a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air years ago before like 1985 my dad had! Before sold car ! So 1978 truck was sold as parts one!

Hi guy's. fun watching you two at work.Those IH are interchangeable with ford parts. Trans bearings. and all bearings/wheel -rear end=axles =carbs and distributors. Also I think the distributor on that IH is shot ! from an old wrench here in Smithville Tennessee !;-)
Thanks Michael. That distributor needed some work for sure. I got it right eventually, but I think the compression was too low for the gas to light off.
Edna had tailgate rust like that. It broke last year when we were moving. We did a video where we cut the whole lower tube off and welded in a new one. 💪
Definitely a short bed. Very cool. You can tell any shortbed by looking at the “hips”. Do they cover most of the bed side? Or…. You can use a tape measure. Or…… if you know how tall you are you can lay down in it. Super neat truck.
That truck does have a cool patina look I would do what I call half off restoration do a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration on the chassis and chassis components but leave the body in bed in Petina only repairing rotted body metal sections and painting in the spot where I had to get bodywork repaired. If had money and owned this I’d hire a shop to build
I bet it would have fired with 24 volts. 😅 I don't endorse using 24, but it probably would have. Still an awesome video!! I enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina! Keep up the great work!
You might be right, David. A faster spin may have built enough compression to fire. I am going to take another crack at this one, so I'll give that a try if needed. Thanks for the support!

That ground strap is for static elimination on the radio. In years gone by we used to have to add them to cut down on ignition noise, especially with the cheaper radios and earlier CB units.
-- IIRC, it involves a phenomenon called RFI - radio frequency interference. Old school engines with ignition systems that utilize a coil and a distributor generate random interference that can be picked up on a radio. Think of it as being like a broadcasting unit except it generates all sorts of random frequencies that go out into the atmosphere instead of just broadcasting on one isolated frequency like a radio station would. The idea of using a ground strap on the hood is that the hood would act as a receiver but the signals would be shunted to ground thus not interfere with the radio or the antenna that you want to use. Now does this actually work? Based on what I know (and I'll admit that isn't much in spite of the fact I had a college roommate who was an electronics and ham radio nut and he taught me a lot!), the answer is yes but only if the hood does act as a defacto receiver. The reality is I am highly skeptical but I'm not going to eliminate it as being impossible. So why would a car manufacturer do this? The strap thing? Just off the top of my head, I look at it as probably being about the cheapest thing you could do to help eliminate interference if that is what is actually going on. The real solution has always been to isolate a source of interference and either get rid of it or insulate it heavily enough to prevent the random signals from getting out thus they are no longer a problem. Obviously, that may prove to be the more expensive way to go about solving the problem hence the strap. In the modern era, it is been come to be understood that you can also employ noise cancellation by sending out a signal on the exact same frequency to negate the radio waves that you don't want to have broadcast out... but let's not get into that as we're dealing with an old school rig. Anyway, that was the first thing that popped into my head. Someone also mentioned a strap being there to eliminate potential static discharge for anyone who would be working around natural gas thus it would help prevent an explosion from taking place. I cannot comment on that one way or the other since I've never been involved in the oil and gas industry. However, I do know for a fact that you can ignite flammable gases with an electrical discharge. Let there be no doubt about that! Once again, I'm not going to say that this is an impossibility - for all I know, that's exactly why the ground strap is there. It would be interesting to find out if there are other ground straps on the truck such as between the bed and the frame. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum
Our neighbor Phyllis gave us a yellow 72 with no bed on it that was her husbands when i was about 14. She didnt have any paperwork or keys for it but we took a screwdriver to the ignition and popped the tumbler out .Then we got a free battery somewhere and it turned over. After putting gas in it and cranking it for a bit it started right up and ran pretty good but was loud. We tore that neighbors back yard up peeling around in it and up and down the sides of the railroad tracks having great fun for days until a pissy neighbor guy named BO got tired of hearing us and disabled the truck so it wouldnt run anymore. That was the end of that ! lol I think it was a 304 or 345 engine ? V8 manual Maverick ! WOW !
Cool old Corn Binder! I don't think that air cleaner was stock for that truck. It almost looks like a late 70's-early 80's Ford inline 6 air cleaner. Back in 71, I don't think they had that flap on the end of the intake that opens up as the engine warms. Warm air from the exhaust manifold would be routed to the big round fitting on the bottom of the air intake snorkel and would feed the carb to help the engine warm up faster. That was called TAC, or thermal air cleaner, and was a smog item that I don't think came along that early. And the air cleaner metal looked to be aluminum? By the way, that hose that came off of the air cleaner would have been just a breather line hooked to the valve cover, no PCV would be in that hose, just a regular open hose. Thanks you two for taking us along on your adventures! Take care, and stay cool!
Great video and effort you guys! 1969 was when this body style debuted. 1971 was the first year of the "tens" in the numbering system. What was the significance? Probably no one alive knows. IH had some weird numbering through the years. The AMC 232 was base model engine option for these trucks. Most folks opted for one of the IH V8's, either 304, 345 or 392. That plastic grille insert was one year only for 1971.
Was so Awesome meeting y'all in Nashville with my oldest daughter. Thanks for the Cre-Oil. Have already put it to good use. Would like to do a collaboration sometime if y'all are in the south or need some assistance. Thanks for what y'all do!
Hello Richard & Christina. Although I am not really familiar with the IH trucks of that range of years, I do know that any of the trucks and equipment used around the natural gas pipeline crews were equipped with grounding straps that were attached to the body of the vehicle that drug against the ground to eliminate static electricity to prevent static electricity from setting off explosions when working near live natural gas pipelines and such. Like you, I am not very sure about the ground braid from the firewall to the hood, But I believe that I have seen this maybe with a few of the older Fords. Those IH 4X4 trucks were very awesome in their pulling ability, But were usually geared very low. Unfortunately the IH trucks were very prone to the rotted out floorboards. When I started my career with the highway department in the early 1990s,We still had a few of the smaller IH trucks in our fleet of equipment and trucks which were being used until they were replaced for a newer truck. We had one 1 ton IH truck that was equipped with a spray unit for weed control along the right of way. You had to be careful when you first got in to drive the truck because you could put the truck into gear to take off and step on the brake and would literally make you feel like you were going through the windshield. After that first experience, The brakes were pretty normal feeling. As a new employee, I was immediately told by the supervisor to go bring the truck into the garage which after the “Experience” drove the truck into our garage with several “Very Amused” coworkers asking how the brakes were. Oh the stories that I could tell.
That is interesting info. I could easily envision that door logo to be from a gas company, maybe even Southern Company Gas, which uses a triangle. The hood ground would align well with a gas company truck too. Thanks for the detail, it is a good story.
I 100% agree! That is a great truck! It must have been a real beauty when it was sitting, brand new, on the I-H dealer’s lot … waiting to go to work … around the same time that I entered the world myself! If I owned it, it would definitely be a keeper! Yeah, I-H did buy some six cylinder engines from AMC, so it probably is the original engine and that will be a real plus for anyone who wants to save it. Easy engine swap or rebuild part supply costs! I-H also bought some (either four or six cylinder, I can’t recall) diesel engines from Nissan for the later Scout IIs. Anything would be better than having to track down and pay for I-H engine parts! They were tough old engines, but too rare to justify much for modern parts availability. I am not too surprised that you couldn’t get it started on the first attempt. Studebakers and Internationals want to see ‘the love’ first … and they’ll always make you work for it in return! I’d put some oil down the cylinders before going home and maybe you’ll get just enough compression out of it next time that it will start? I agree again; who cares about that ole Jeep engine? Somebody save this truck and get to the engine later! If I were not “neck deep” in projects already, I’d love to have it and take it on.
I am pretty sure the engine is the engine AMC put in the Ramblers and Jeeps, there was a 199,232,258. I was told that AMC got the emgine from international amd heard international got it from AMC . I need to research this mkt sure why i never have. The engine looks just like the 199 that was in my 1967 Rambler American I bought from my neighbor in the late 80's for 100.00, U was 14 years old. It was still a good car and didnt look very bad. I regret that i took it to the farm and ragged it out sadly. I guess it was my first will it run. The day they pulled it up to my house my buddy came home from school with me and we got'er running. Good times back then about 1989.
That's exactly what it is...232 cid AMC. Same as you would find in a Gremlin or a Hornet. It was an AMC-designed engine..International simply bought them from AMC, most likely because their own straight six was large, heavy and underpowered.
I decided to go ahead and research it is a 232 engine used in the Rambler classic 660 and some other vehicles add eventually just became the 258 that they used in everything it was produced by AMC from the 196 Flathead Nash engine they improved it and made it overhead valve it's got the same one barrel Holley carburetor that was on my 199 recap that car around the farm another 5 or 6 years the only thing I ever had to do to it was put a kit in that one barrel Holley front drum brakes had to be replaced and had to put a ball joint in it cuz I beat it out driving too rough on this Old Farm roads
Appreciate Christina's disparaging Bud remark at 3.24😂. Even 1 year+ later, throw that crap away! Can't wait to see the Maverick video. Loved that old beast!
Man, what a shame about that suicide door Lincoln. and that V8 Maverick with the manual trans. Was that a 3-speed or 4? I bet there are lots of cool old cars and trucks there that have rotted away to the point that they are not saveable. That's sad.
Looks like a 69-71 IH 1100 truck anyway i was thinking the 1100 came out in either 65 or 68-69 the truck is i believe a 71 instead of a 1970 they had several different brands of parts including the motors in them
Probably compression on two cylinders, stuck valves likely. Possibly rings gone. Timing way off. You can get it going but it’s going to need a rebuild or replace. I’m sure it’s not the original engine anyway so no loss there. Good solid truck though!
Agreed. I believe I will get it running, but the engine is likely worn out. It spins over far too easily for something that has been sitting for decades. Thank you for the comment!
I would pull the valve cover off to see if the valves are stuck while cranking the engine, that is where I’d start with no compression and of course replace the carb .. short stepside beds are not uncommon in that model, same bed had been used since the late 1950s

I was thinking about that, but I am lost as to why grounding the hood would help.
-- IIRC, it involves a phenomenon called RFI - radio frequency interference. Old school engines with ignition systems that utilize a coil and a distributor generate random interference that can be picked up on a radio. Think of it as being like a broadcasting unit except it generates all sorts of random frequencies that go out into the atmosphere instead of just broadcasting on one isolated frequency like a radio station would. The idea of using a ground strap on the hood is that the hood would act as a receiver but the signals would be shunted to ground thus not interfere with the radio or the antenna that you want to use. Now does this actually work? Based on what I know (and I'll admit that isn't much in spite of the fact I had a college roommate who was an electronics and ham radio nut and he taught me a lot!), the answer is yes but only if the hood does act as a defacto receiver. The reality is I am highly skeptical but I'm not going to eliminate it as being impossible. So why would a car manufacturer do this? The strap thing? Just off the top of my head, I look at it as probably being about the cheapest thing you could do to help eliminate interference if that is what is actually going on. The real solution has always been to isolate a source of interference and either get rid of it or insulate it heavily enough to prevent the random signals from getting out thus they are no longer a problem. Obviously, that may prove to be the more expensive way to go about solving the problem hence the strap. In the modern era, it is been come to be understood that you can also employ noise cancellation by sending out a signal on the exact same frequency to negate the radio waves that you don't want to have broadcast out... but let's not get into that as we're dealing with an old school rig. Anyway, that was the first thing that popped into my head. Someone also mentioned a strap being there to eliminate potential static discharge for anyone who would be working around natural gas thus it would help prevent an explosion from taking place. I cannot comment on that one way or the other since I've never been involved in the oil and gas industry. However, I do know for a fact that you can ignite flammable gases with an electrical discharge. Let there be no doubt about that! Once again, I'm not going to say that this is an impossibility - for all I know, that's exactly why the ground strap is there. It would be interesting to find out if there are other ground straps on the truck such as between the bed and the frame. Best wishes!

Thanks!
We always appreciate your generosity, Terry. Thank you.
Our neighbor Phyllis gave us a yellow 72 with no bed on it that was her husbands when i was about 14. She didnt have any paperwork or keys for it but we took a screwdriver to the ignition and popped the tumbler out .Then we got a free battery somewhere and it turned over. After putting gas in it and cranking it for a bit it started right up and ran pretty good but was loud. We tore that neighbors back yard up peeling around in it and up and down the sides of the railroad tracks having great fun for days until a pissy neighbor guy named BO got tired of hearing us and disabled the truck so it wouldnt run anymore. That was the end of that ! lol I think it was a 304 or 345 engine ? V8 manual Maverick ! WOW !
That is a cool story with an unfortunate ending. That Maverick is on the list to do soon!
Awesome job ❤ I was still entertaining
Thanks Tanner. I would have liked to have a little more time, but I will take another crack at it in the future.
def a find-good job guys!!
get that maverick running
Coming soon! It is rough, but we are going to give it our all.
You might want to get in touch with Puddins fab shop he would be all over that international
Cool old Corn Binder! I don't think that air cleaner was stock for that truck. It almost looks like a late 70's-early 80's Ford inline 6 air cleaner. Back in 71, I don't think they had that flap on the end of the intake that opens up as the engine warms. Warm air from the exhaust manifold would be routed to the big round fitting on the bottom of the air intake snorkel and would feed the carb to help the engine warm up faster. That was called TAC, or thermal air cleaner, and was a smog item that I don't think came along that early. And the air cleaner metal looked to be aluminum? By the way, that hose that came off of the air cleaner would have been just a breather line hooked to the valve cover, no PCV would be in that hose, just a regular open hose. Thanks you two for taking us along on your adventures! Take care, and stay cool!
Thanks for the info on that breather hose, and the TAC detail. I must have missed where the PCV was supposed to be.
Great video and effort you guys! 1969 was when this body style debuted. 1971 was the first year of the "tens" in the numbering system. What was the significance? Probably no one alive knows. IH had some weird numbering through the years. The AMC 232 was base model engine option for these trucks. Most folks opted for one of the IH V8's, either 304, 345 or 392. That plastic grille insert was one year only for 1971.
Great info! Thank you for taking the time to provide it.
Was so Awesome meeting y'all in Nashville with my oldest daughter. Thanks for the Cre-Oil. Have already put it to good use. Would like to do a collaboration sometime if y'all are in the south or need some assistance. Thanks for what y'all do!
Great meeting you all too. Drop me an email, so we can talk about a possible collaboration. Rbd6x@yahoo.com.
The AMC 232 six later morphed into the Jeep 4-liter. Plenty of inexpensive donors available for increased power.
That's right. Even a 4.2 would work well.
Not a bad truck by any means. Just needs a good engine, complete brake job, and hopefully the transmissions not shot that's all...😂
Hello Richard & Christina. Although I am not really familiar with the IH trucks of that range of years, I do know that any of the trucks and equipment used around the natural gas pipeline crews were equipped with grounding straps that were attached to the body of the vehicle that drug against the ground to eliminate static electricity to prevent static electricity from setting off explosions when working near live natural gas pipelines and such.
Like you, I am not very sure about the ground braid from the firewall to the hood, But I believe that I have seen this maybe with a few of the older Fords. Those IH 4X4 trucks were very awesome in their pulling ability, But were usually geared very low. Unfortunately the IH trucks were very prone to the rotted out floorboards. When I started my career with the highway department in the early 1990s,We still had a few of the smaller IH trucks in our fleet of equipment and trucks which were being used until they were replaced for a newer truck. We had one 1 ton IH truck that was equipped with a spray unit for weed control along the right of way. You had to be careful when you first got in to drive the truck because you could put the truck into gear to take off and step on the brake and would literally make you feel like you were going through the windshield. After that first experience, The brakes were pretty normal feeling. As a new employee, I was immediately told by the supervisor to go bring the truck into the garage which after the “Experience” drove the truck into our garage with several “Very Amused” coworkers asking how the brakes were. Oh the stories that I could tell.
That is interesting info. I could easily envision that door logo to be from a gas company, maybe even Southern Company Gas, which uses a triangle. The hood ground would align well with a gas company truck too. Thanks for the detail, it is a good story.
Check too see if your plugs are fowled out. You found many oil cans in the bed.😊
The ground strap to the hood is to reduce ignition noise in the radio or other communication devices like 2-way radios, cb's etc.
Thanks for the info Johnny.
great video super truck
I 100% agree! That is a great truck! It must have been a real beauty when it was sitting, brand new, on the I-H dealer’s lot … waiting to go to work … around the same time that I entered the world myself! If I owned it, it would definitely be a keeper! Yeah, I-H did buy some six cylinder engines from AMC, so it probably is the original engine and that will be a real plus for anyone who wants to save it. Easy engine swap or rebuild part supply costs! I-H also bought some (either four or six cylinder, I can’t recall) diesel engines from Nissan for the later Scout IIs. Anything would be better than having to track down and pay for I-H engine parts! They were tough old engines, but too rare to justify much for modern parts availability.
I am not too surprised that you couldn’t get it started on the first attempt. Studebakers and Internationals want to see ‘the love’ first … and they’ll always make you work for it in return! I’d put some oil down the cylinders before going home and maybe you’ll get just enough compression out of it next time that it will start? I agree again; who cares about that ole Jeep engine? Somebody save this truck and get to the engine later! If I were not “neck deep” in projects already, I’d love to have it and take it on.
Right on, Brian. I will be taking another crack at this one, and a good compression test is first on the list.
I am pretty sure the engine is the engine AMC put in the Ramblers and Jeeps, there was a 199,232,258. I was told that AMC got the emgine from international amd heard international got it from AMC . I need to research this mkt sure why i never have. The engine looks just like the 199 that was in my 1967 Rambler American I bought from my neighbor in the late 80's for 100.00, U was 14 years old. It was still a good car and didnt look very bad. I regret that i took it to the farm and ragged it out sadly. I guess it was my first will it run. The day they pulled it up to my house my buddy came home from school with me and we got'er running. Good times back then about 1989.
Needs. A pertronix. Point eliminator. And carb rebuilt...get a pony tank and just start it....there is a IHCLUB PIT THERE CHEK EM OUT
That's exactly what it is...232 cid AMC. Same as you would find in a Gremlin or a Hornet. It was an AMC-designed engine..International simply bought them from AMC, most likely because their own straight six was large, heavy and underpowered.
Right on.
I decided to go ahead and research it is a 232 engine used in the Rambler classic 660 and some other vehicles add eventually just became the 258 that they used in everything it was produced by AMC from the 196 Flathead Nash engine they improved it and made it overhead valve it's got the same one barrel Holley carburetor that was on my 199 recap that car around the farm another 5 or 6 years the only thing I ever had to do to it was put a kit in that one barrel Holley front drum brakes had to be replaced and had to put a ball joint in it cuz I beat it out driving too rough on this Old Farm roads
Right on.
Thx for keeping me amused while the rest of America runs in circles
😂😂😂❤❤❤
Yes they came in a step side or fleet side
Can't win 'em all. Nice try, fun as usual!
Thanks Ron. More to come!
You got me curious so I checked fb marketplace. There’s an international Stepside an hour from my house. Not the whole truck, just the Stepside Bed.
Interesting. This has to be a rare piece.
Appreciate Christina's disparaging Bud remark at 3.24😂. Even 1 year+ later, throw that crap away! Can't wait to see the Maverick video. Loved that old beast!
Probably s.o. fleet order truck like utility company
Christina is stunning.
She is. I am a lucky guy.
@@whattherust better than HOOVIES GAL...
The Truck won and Richard lost 😂
that sliding glass window looks like its for a ford truck
You've got spark going to the plugs did you check to see if the plugs themselves are firing
Coil good??
Was there ever a CB radio in this truck? We sometimes needed to put a strap to the hood to improve the ground plane of the antennae. Love your show!
Interesting thought! That would make sense. Thank you for the support.
Man, what a shame about that suicide door Lincoln. and that V8 Maverick with the manual trans. Was that a 3-speed or 4? I bet there are lots of cool old cars and trucks there that have rotted away to the point that they are not saveable. That's sad.
I think the Maverick is a 4 speed, but the shifter is jammed, so I am not certain. We will be attempting to rescue it soon.
What a sweet little kitty ! I think she's lonely and just wants some attention.
-- Wants some love... and it's most likely rather hungry!

Hi yall from west Alabama love yA
One more time!
I'll be making another pass at it soon.
@@whattherust take some toothpaste or rubbing compound on that tail light.....the headlights out because floor dimmer switch is kauput
Ground straps on all panels is indicative of ham radio operator owner. IH is also known for being more industrial.
The balast resisters on the distributors were notorious.
Soft kitty warm kitty. Little ball of fur.....
That mavrick could be really cool!!
For sure! We will be taking a crack at that one soon.
Looks like a 69-71 IH 1100 truck anyway i was thinking the 1100 came out in either 65 or 68-69 the truck is i believe a 71 instead of a 1970 they had several different brands of parts including the motors in them
Probably compression on two cylinders, stuck valves likely. Possibly rings gone. Timing way off. You can get it going but it’s going to need a rebuild or replace. I’m sure it’s not the original engine anyway so no loss there. Good solid truck though!
Agreed. I believe I will get it running, but the engine is likely worn out. It spins over far too easily for something that has been sitting for decades. Thank you for the comment!
Remember to pull the heater core out and lower it down by the exhaust manifold or it will get air bound.

Int. FLEET SIDE REBEL WAS A REAL COLLECTER 🤠🇺🇸 4:33
Great editing again😊
Thanks very much. We recently changed to different video editing software, and I like it.
It still deserves to be saved you could always buy it and swap a IH 304-345,392 in the truck and use it
Exactly. Bad compression or not, this is a solid truck that is tough to find.
Even while packing to go on a fishing trip, I always find time for a "What the Rust" video!
And find a Maverick with Factory Air!
Right on Gary.
Bring a new set of plugs, sometimes they work wonders, and give each cylinder a squirt of reg motor oil to help your rings give a little better seal.
Agreed, Kevin. My thinking is that the compression is poor, and the oil in the cylinders might address that problem long enough to at least kick.
that might be or is it a 258 ci amc with the 1920 holley 1 bbl same used on the slant 6 225.
Four in the floor and a fifth under the seat.😊.
This one just had zero compression. Did you check the valves? I would love to see this one run again. I love Internationals.
Yes, I went back for another try. The video is on the More What The Rust channel.
I would pull the valve cover off to see if the valves are stuck while cranking the engine, that is where I’d start with no compression and of course replace the carb .. short stepside beds are not uncommon in that model, same bed had been used since the late 1950s
Agreed. Next time I am there I will be doing that. Thanks for the comment.
