- In this  update on the 1946 internal we do some much needed bodywork on the caved in panels. It gets new wiring. Lights. And a new 12v charging system. This restoration has been tough but to get it on the road again this revival must go on. Will it run? Will it drive? See the last episodes to see how we did it.

Love these guys, no gloves, no eye protection and when Pa was using the torch with Jr face like 15 inches away that was priceless
The old school guys lived before OSHA, and all of the safety sissy ninny nanny greenie weenie commie mommies. The rule in those days was "be careful and pay attention to what you're doing." It was about common sense, which was just another prerequisite to being a man.
Today it's "The Central Planning Committee is going to protect you from yourself, if we have to take every cent you've got and put you in jail to do it" Safetyism is a fanatical religion that is on par with the Taliban.

"But all I'm doing is driving a little no.18 finishing nail into the drywall to hang a picture"
"INFIDEL! THE ALL POWERFUL ALL KNOWING GODS OF SAFETY ARE NEVER TO BE QUESTIONED FOR ANY REASONS! YOU ARE A SAFETY HERETIC AND YOU MUST BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY!"
Sound of bolt being cocked followed by sound of 30 little 7.62mm holes being created in the body of the safety heretic.
The picture never got hung, either.

One of my favorite car/truck shows on UA-cam. Father and son working together makes it extra cool
I honestly love this more than any of the car shows/ parts advertisements on television. I think y’all should have a show where you guys and a few other UA-cam people get old cars, trucks and equipment back to life.
Back in the '40's, trucks were not required to have two taillights. Only the 'Deluxe' version had two. It wasn't until 1961 that the Feds mandated two taillights standard on trucks.
I am in the UK but I just love watching you guys over the pond bringing that great old truck back to life. I just love flattop motors . Over here we have nothing like that . Huge respect to you for what you do .
Thank you for watching from the uk 🇬🇧
Just found you guys yesterday. You two are very talented guys!!!! I love old truck's and you guys have definitely Resurrected that truck from the grave. You make it look easy. I would love to see some more old vehicles brought back to life by you two. They don't make truck's like that anymore. Thank you guys!!!!
Thank you ! We plan to do more
Totally impressed with the grille straightening.. I thought for sure the grille would rip out at the point where the chain was looped through... But boy that truck was made with real heavy gauge steel and it just came out beautifully.... !! really enjoying this process...
You and your Dad have worked some real magic. Love to see this old iron come back to life. It's amazing that the body was still so strong!
Boy am I glad I ran across your channel, loving the content so far! Your philosophy of only replacing parts if necessary is absolutely awesome and is something that seems to be missing from a lot of automotive based channels these days. Kudos on getting that old girl on the road after so long, the fact that the engine wasn't locked up is mind boggling.
The grille being straightened reminded me very much of the scene in Christine where she "fixes" herself lol.
Thank you for the feedback!
It's coming together, love that.
Amazing! You two work good together, Father and Son with a common interest is wonderful!
Just what this truck needed! Once again I think she'd make a good around-town rig, even a good parts-run rig. I'm really impressed with how well the dent pulling went. Love this truck, keep it up!
I love that you and your Dad work together ion these projects
I love the grill in this truck. I like the body work too. You not making a show truck.... your fixing a farm truck. This is awesome...I'd drive it everywhere.
Great to see an update,she's a lovely old girl.Look forward to seeing more on it soon🤙
I like the way you did your wiring from scratch. I have done it that way too. A bit of work, but rewarding.
Terrific video !! That drivers side door could even be in the weeds on the property where you got the truck. IHC made tons of those trucks so you may not have a hard time scoring a replacement. Same goes for the tailgate so keep your eyes open. Your patience is paying huge dividends on this project---keep going.
This ain't a Ford, Chebby or Dodge and, having messed with these old Cornbinders for years I can tell you that IH definitely did NOT make tons of them. That's why UA-cam is important for those of us looking for solutions,
Thanks for the video. It takes me back to my youth in the 50's and early 60's when I learnt to drive the old Chevrolets and other old vehicles. I remember well the starter button and the dimmer switch on the floor. The brakes and clutch pedals were all mechanical, no hydraulics then in those old cars from the 1920's. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for watching from Australia lee
Excellent. Thank you. I now understand much better what is possible with bodywork.
You are a brilliant TEAM - expecting more videos in future. Thank you for these videos. Greetings from Germany.
I am fond of old trucks, and enjoyed watching what you and your father did to this old International. Awesome👍👌
Thank you for watching
The ultimate father-son business! You guys are great!
This is a really beautiful looking truck you have here. Time to restore, prime her down and paint her a nice color.
i will never get my own work done, i get too sucked into these great videos. fantastic stuff bringing these truck back to life.
😂 thanks for watching
Enjoy watching you guys revive an old truck like that. I watch other revival channels but when it truly looks to far gone and you get it going is really great. Keep working on it until you get it to a comfortable driveable condition, interior and bed...great work, keep it goin!
Thank you for watching
Its coming along thank you for all the great content good luck on that door.
Great video, love seeing these old vehicles brought back from the dead.
I'm absolutely loving these videos 👍🏻me and my dad do the same sort of restoring over here in the uk but on old British motorcycles. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the next video.
That’s awesome man. And thanks for watching
@1:34- Six volt or a twelve volt generator, What I would do is install an alternator. Alternators have an internal voltage regulator.
I wish i had that bond with my father, you guys is living the dream. Watched alot of your videos the past weeks, amasing! Cheers from Norway🤘
..man.. I can't believe how good you did with that passinger side fender the way that metal was crumpled and stretched.
I love that you guys have brought the truck back to life.
Like the part when Dad says to dump the rusty water out of the rad and you start dumping it right next to the truck and he goes not where were working and you laugh and say oh yea, thinking that is kinda dumb. Always fun working with Dad.
Totally brilliant, loved what's been done to this old girl! Swear you'd be hard pressed for a modern car to do the same! The body shell would have rotted along with the sub frames!!!!😄😄😄
I just seen Coldwarmotors do this same thing but with wood and hammer and dollie. Y’all are doing a great job.
Your work on this 46 International is so much fun to watch. I had one same year back in the 50's , fond memories. Anyway, the exhaust note on yours sounds so good I hope you never change it. Thank you for a wonderful video.
It is SO cool that you are saving this old beauty!
Looking forward to the update on the 46 International. Can't wait to see it complete
I have been watching and enjoying. Well done!
Thank you for watching
I had a 1947 International basically identical to this one, way back in 1976. I drove it from Pullman, Washington (home of WSU) where I went to school back home to Bremerton, Washington in June of 1976. Ran flawlessly the whole trip. I used a quart of oil and held a steady 45 to 50 on the trip. I sold it about 6 months later. I sure wish I had it back now.
Love this Truck Resto Video of this old Truck 🛻 Keep on Truckin.
The video quality is improved far better than the first episodes.Love to see more video of it.
Love seeing you bring the old truck back. Looking forward to seeing more.
Like the "ruff" look of your truck and all the work you put in it so far...
Awesome job, you guys have brought this truck back to life!
WOW that grill trick worked great. They originally did not have two stop lights on the back, but somewhere in the center of the vechicle.
Love what your doing with the truck. I’m excited to see the progress
you and your DAD are doing a realy good job i like dont be hard on yourself have fun do it your way ohio
The truck is really looking good! You have done a great job, you and your dad work well together!
Thank you !
Keep working on the " Spa Day" for this aging beauty. Looks great ! Cab floor,, Seat, slap some wood in the bed and you've got a real beauty ! Bravo !
You and your dad are doing an awesome job on this truck I really like how you've done this I will leave those hubcaps on the truck is not perfect and neither are the hubcaps it just adds to the character of that truck can't wait to see more updates on it keep up the good work
Love the video guys.
Looking forward to the next episode.
Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🍻
Thanks for watching from New Zealand
Yes, thanks for another update
Coming out fantastic Travis! You and your dad make an awesome team!!!!
Thank you
starting to look great love it
Beautiful work. Can't wait to see it completed with new paint as well. Great job, fellas.
That Is A great Job Keep It Up
Love what you guys are doing like the way you use what you have on hand like you say if it’s not broke don’t fix it can’t wait for your next update and hope you do videos on your carport/garage you and your dad stay safe Greetings from California
Thank you for watching 💪🏼
Awesome truck! I can't wait to see what she looks like when you get done with her!
Waiting ...thanks for update...such a debilitated truck and now it looks muscle truck. Can imagine the satisfaction on its working ....and the sound wow it reverberates to past glory. Nice idling sound ...amazing.
I love this truck, it's coming out great. Congratulations from Argentina.
Thanks for watching from Argentina
If that truck could talk, wonder what stories it could tell. Looks good!
great videos of this truck slowly coming back to life, really enjoying them 👍
Love the progress!
I have a fondness for these old rigs. A desire to bring them back and save them from being turned into paperclips and #10 cans. My most recent is a 65 Dart with a roached motor that was parked in a field circa 1994. I sourced a 225 in marginally better condition than the existing 170 but simply have no time.
Someday.
Awesome video! So cool to see you guys bringing this ol truck back to life! Can’t wait for the next video update!
Thank you for sharing 🙏!
I hope you know how Blessed you are for having a Dad that you can work and learn from. You my man are doing a wonderful job 🙏.❤
I worked my whole life collecting tools for doing these kinds of jobs and construction but I don't know anyone who would appreciate these tools that I could leave them with. I hope the Lord brings some one in my life that I can share with.
God Bless 🙏♥️
Always turn the radiator upside down and flush from the bottom down to the top, all the crud goes in the top with the flow of water👍
Definite yes to hubcaps! 'Right amount of sweat on it' is a great phrase. Like what you guys are doing. Hope to see a lot more of this truck.
Thank you , thank you , thank you for continuing the cool restoration!
- please lose the hub caps!
- dents and rust are COOL!
- videos are soooo great!
- can’t wait to see how the door situation turns out!
- seats PLEASE!
- take your time! I’m riveted!
- can’t wait to see the 2023 tour in this beast!
Thank you for watching
You and your dad are making great progress, keep it up! I'm still surprised at how well the grill fix worked
Yeah it came out pretty dang good for what it was
I really like ya'lls videos. Plus you guys work so well together.
I wish you could weld the holes that are next to the headlight. But other than that it looks soooo much better man. Love that. Please keep this series going. 🥹😁
This is a great project! Love the body work and lights so far. I have a ‘46 & I love every inch of it. Converted the whole truck to 12 volt & got the original parking lights working which also function as turn signals. I have some ugly trailer lights for tails right now, but will installing a pair of hot Rod truck lights soon. Going to use your bodywork as inspiration for me to fix the right front fender on my truck. Thanks for the great video.
amazing, keep up the work travis. Love your passion for cars.
Thank you
Coming along very nice!
This sure is making me miss my old 47 KB1. I was joking with my wife about trying to buy it off you when you are done. She told me it needed a camper because I would be living in it if I did. You know what? Worth it!
A campers a good idea !
The International truck is looking real good. Good job
You and your dad did a pretty good job on the body work and electrical. When you pulled the front end out,it sure did make the truck 🚛 look a whole lot better. Good to see that you converted it to 12 volt system. Easier to get parts for. Let's see more of this truck!
Great stuff guys I like videos of classic vehicles,keep it up!
That was some pretty impressive metalwork. I kept expecting that grill to fly out... A project well worth the effort. (The world has quite enough squarebodies, imho)...
It’s crazy how that steel held up you try that on a modern car it wouldn’t be so able it’s neat to see this come back to life
Really digging this restoration. Awesome job!!
Nice truck... please make sure there is anti freeze to avoid cracking the block.
Loving the update' good job🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪🇰🇪
hi.I'm from Chicago, I love you videos, I wash you until 5:00 am,your doing a nice video, the truck looks very transform, I thank you and you dad,love you,and God bless you.
can't wait to see some more of this bad boy
Like what you've done so far to get this old truck back to running and on the road. One thing I would suggest is to fabricate (if none are available) new mounting brackets and put the taillights back where they were. It just doesn't look right with them mounted so high up plus they are vulnerable to being hit by whatever might be in the bed of the truck.
Your Doing It;The’46 International is looking great,waiting for your next video on the’46! Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️
Thanks for posting luv old cars be safe
Thank you Fred
I have been a subscriber for about a month and I selected notification for "all" . I've only seen the "short" snapshots? Thanks for mentioning that we can find all of your youtube entries on your channel. Honestly, you are rapidly becoming a favorite site for me!
Love this... I have a 63 Scout 80 that is m(mostly) restored. Going around town is awesome when young and old (Kids) think that it's cool
This is so cool u working on the truck with your dad = and documenting
Well done very enjoyable.
I love that deep growl sound it makes
I predict she's gonna end up
Somewhere in between
Farmer Brown's old beater
And a pampered trailer queen
***
You guys are doing a fantastic job on this one.
A lot of people would have crushed it without a second thought. It makes my heart skip a beat and do a back flip when people who care go to work on something like this. Now that she's got some of her shape back, you can see that she's got some lines. You have to be able to look at something like this with the right kind of eyes to see it for what it truly is, a thing of great beauty, and a piece of history. My hat is off to you.
Your efforts are extraordinary.
If a guy was looking to develop old school bodywork techniques, he couldn't find a better specimen than this to practice on. Hammer and dolly work, heating and shrinking, stretching, and maybe some lead work could all be learned here.
I'd guess that the days of using her for a beater are probably past. If she was mine, I'd say her really hard working days are over. She's earned the right to some light duty and and easier life than she's had in the past. What a fine piece of iron. Definitely first rate job, gentlemen.
CHEERS!!!
Thanks for the comment. I agree I think her pulling days are over. But it’ll still drive around town for a few more looks to show it’s life’s not quite over
@@theetravisb absolutely!!!
This whole exercise would be pointless if you didn't.
The Fender company has a series of guitars that they call "relics" that are pre-distressed and banged up, and they charge extra for it!
Somebody forgot to check the sugar cubes under the black light before they dropped them in the coffee.
But people buy these things, and then pamper them like they were a Honus Wagner baseball card.
"Don't touch my guitar, dude, you might put a scratch in my pre scratched paint job."
Some people should wear a hat when they're out in the sun.
Obviously all of the wear on this fine beast is real and genuine, and the cool factor is off the charts.
man i wish you were my neighbours, love watching what you do. all the way from London England
its great watching laurel and hardy i thought they were dead do not give up youre day job
panel beaters inc.
that laminate glass was pretty classy. I think shatterproof glass, not laminate, was the norm in Australian even in 1970s
Amazing how robust those vehicles where to be able to pull out the grill like that!!
