Hey guys thanks for watching. We bought the truck for $300. And all the parts thus far were around 400. So we got it on the road less than $1000 using as much as humanly possible that was on the truck and rebuilding what we had to.

This was awesome to see! I would love to see the transimission work and maybe get it as close to street legal as possible. headlights brakelights windshield... this was awesome!!! Enjoyed the video a lot, Found you on instagram first.
Where did you fide the stuff to redo the master cyclder and brake cyclder?
You should nickname the truck 'scorpion'!
I would love to see more on this truck, you don't have to do a full restoration, but it'd be cool to see this truck become road worthy and get some cosmetic bits like that dent pulled out of the grill, new winshield, headlights, etc. After doing some of those things it could be a decent truck for around town/ picking up parts and such.
I agree!
Good lucking truck I like these ones, sadly can’t find something similar in my area for less than 1000
@@theetravisb DONKEY B0NER!!!
You are very lucky to be able to do these things with your father and use his knowledge and make memories, I lost my father recently and I wish we had done more things like this together. You’re doing a great job guys love the videos
I am Sorry to hear that. I am glad we get to work together. Thank you for watching.
Yeah, would REALLY like to see more on this old truck!
I'm glad to see that you found an old MOTOR manual to set the brakes up.
Nice to see some one who knows how to put brake cylinders together properly everything spotless clean and clean hands I see a lot of guys put cylinders together with grease and dirt all over there hands I was a brake specialist
Keep ‘em comin’! You and your dad are a great combo to work together. Lucky to have one another with the same love for this!
Back in the '70s, I had a '49 KB1 P.U. as my daily driver. That flathead 6 went through so much oil, I bought cheap non-detergent oil in 5 gallon cans and carried it around in the back of the truck so I could top it off on a regular basis! Fun truck though. With those tall, skinny tires it would go anywhere. One VERY snowy day, it was just me and the snowplows out on the roads.
It's worth annealing copper washers if they are to be reused. Easy to do. Heat to cherry red and cool. Softens the metal and makes for a better seal. Nice truck. Definitely like to see more...
I'd love to see you make it roadworthy but not restored that truck has so much character you've done a great job on that keep up the good work
That’s the plan thanks for watching
This is by far the most interesting and fascinating
Video I have seen in years.
I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat. Very cool . Please keep us updated.
I'd love seeing more of this truck! If it's gotten this far, I'd think it's possible to go further. How easily do the working gears go in?
Also... Gotta love those milk crate & cinderblock seats
Gotta make do with what you got haha. And the gears are choppy. Later found I was out of adjustment.
Nice save. Great to see this running. It would be nice to see it made roadworthy, windshield, a seat, lights, bang out a few dents in the fenders, just chip away at it and make it a driver. Probably way to expensive to restore, but over time, you could probably bring it back drive around.
BTW, my Dad used avoid stretching metal and to have greater control over the process when beating out dents in body panels by taking them off and lying them in deep sand and beating out the dents into the sand. Seemed to work very well.
You can use heat to fix old copper washers. Heat the washer to red hot and let cool. Used washers get work hardened, this heat up cool down softens the washers. This lets them seal just fine.
Some brake washer like those for motorcycle brakes have a metal outer washer with a rubber inner washer. The rubber does the sealing, while the metal keeps from crushing the rubber.
You might be able to get some like those the right size for your brake hoses.
Great job. Love how you two work together!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Please do another episode. I’d love to see up and running and some headlight and break lights on.😁😁🥹
Can't wait for another episode!! Maybe a full restoration!! Im sure you could get sponsors. Great videos throughly enjoyed it.
Looking forward to the next video. Great restoration work. This is interesting
i think the coolest part is it looks like you drove it off the farm where it was parked 50 years ago. Epic save.
This was a Vice Grip Garage like video. Amazing job between filming and your work. Glad to see a truck like that getting back out on the road. Once again amazing job and I can’t wait for the next episode
Thank you. Doing the work and filming at the same time is tricky.
More content for sure. Great job!
started on facebook. made my way to your instagram. found out the entire 1946 rebuild video was on youtube. and now i’m here. excellent content organization. very professional. that’s what’s helping your channels be so successful. that and the excellent content
Thank you editing all these myself is just as tough as making the content!
Love the look of this old 1946! However a small suggestion: You need to build an electrolysis tank to derust stuff like the wheel cylinders and master cylinder. It would have made the job of getting the pistons out of the cylinders so much easier. The process breaks the rust bond between parts, but does not remove any good metal.
Good luck with the rest of the build!
Yes. Get it road worthy. Lights and all. Thank You.
New Viewer; I had a 1946 International in the early 70’s,really enjoyed it!Looking Forward To Your Next Video On The ‘46.Take Care Your Oregon Friend ☮️
That’s cool thank you for watching!
Atlas was sold by Esso which later became Exxon. My Dad ran both back in the 60's and 70's. Atlas had filters, tires, batteries and other accessories. BTW, my Dad also had a 61 Chevy Apache he used as a service truck. Thanks for the video.
Definitely keep the videos coming, we can always use another IH on the road! 👍 these trucks are awesome, just subscribed...
This is so cool it’s neat you guys got it running and moving
I just watched your channel for the first time. I've always liked the styling of the K model Cornbinders. When using that wheel hub puller greeze up the threads every time and it will work better and last longer. You were lucky your hubs didn't fight much. I believe that your wheel clearance issue is because the truck came with 16" wheels. The bolt pattern should interchange with some Dodge, Studebaker and Ford. Wheel spacers are never a good idea. No need for all that sillycone. Dished freeze plugs will seal fine if the block is cleaned and the water neck just needs a gasket. I think I would have flushed the rear axle with some kerosene or solvent after seeing all that schmoo come out of it. Do you have a Knox tailgate on your truck? I think they made the beds for IH. Now you need to finder a better truck for your "doner" engine and rebuilt brakes.
Keep the vids coming it’s awesome getting it mobile but there’s so much left to do
This is so cool it’s neat you guys got it running and moving
I have that same electric impact gun. My late wife and I bought it to use on the motorhome we had because it seems that nearly every tire store had knuckleheads that believed the tires weren't on right unless the rims were welded to the hubs so they'd set their air impacts to the highest range. I had one incidence when I hit a piece of 2x4 in the road (too late to turn when I saw it), blew an inside dual and it took over an hour with the electric gun to finally break the wheel loose so I could change the tire. From then on until we sold the coach I never allowed an air impact to be used in putting tires back on.
On modern engine designs all the oil flows to the filter then it goes to the engine. Some of these older engines the original designs didn't have a filter. They added a port to the block in an oil passage, ran it to the filter then returns to the oil pan. This is why your engine ran fine with no oil flowing through the filter.
Looks like the truck has a bypass type oil filter. Oil only flows to the filter when the oil pressure is high enough to open the high-pressure bypass valve in the oil pump. The filter is not in the oil flow path to the bearings.
I must admit I thought it was a lost cause but you guys did it! Congratulations.👍👍
Mix acetone and any cheap atf 50/50. This is about the best penetrating fluid you can get any the cost isn't much.
On those severely rusted brakes parts warm the parts up, an electric heat gun works fine on smaller parts, a propane torch on bigger parts. Once good and warm spray the penetrating fluid on the rusty parts. The warm parts sprayed with the fluid will cool quickly, this draws in the fluid into the rusty areas.
Keep going, I'm in. I do believe you guys had some help from above.
Me to. 🙏
Your dad has the voice of Josh Turner and Sam Elliot. He could be a star.
All you need is a drivers door and you’ll be ready to rock & roll‼️
Please, please give us updates! Love your channel!
I don’t comment ever but man something about your vibe, your knowledge everything makes you so enjoyable to watch dude keep it up!
Thank you that means alot!
@ 14:30 - I like the smell of gasoline too.
That's probably why I'm binge watching these videos instead of working on my own projects lol.
The copper crush washer can be reused if you anneal them ( heat them up with a propane plumber's torch)
They did 2 different size piston on the wheel cylinder because 1 shoe is primarily and the other shoe is secondary.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
It's your truck, but if it were mine, I would flush the hell out of that block and get all of the crud out of it before that brand new radiator gets stopped up! Also, PLEASE knock that pushed in grill out while you've got the radiator out of it flushing the block and rebuilding the water pump. Great job so far. Keep us in the loop.
Please keep us posted.
You and your dad did allot of hard work
Really enjoy seeing u guys working together
Suggestion get a magnetic parts bowl for the bolts screw anything small
For future projects, keep
In mind that they make a tool to handle the brake shoe springs. It looks like a huge pair of needle nose pliers with a pad on one prong and a curved hook on the other prong. One handle ends in a round disc that works with the pivot point springs in the middle of the shoes.
Back in the day before disc brakes (I’m 75 y/o) every auto parts store had this drum break tool in stock. If you hunt around Im sure that you can find one.
Awesomeness!!!!!!!!
Yeah we want an update I want to see a full restoration…please 🙂
Exelente trabajo y saludos de Lima Perú 🇵🇪👍
36:22 well you guys shouldn’t have left that truck sitting for 50 years😑😐😑😐
This was a good series, keep it going get a door and repair the dents love seeing old iron rebuilt.
You'll need to get a door....but pull some dents out and get some new lights....that's a series
Yes more on this old truck please.
With the brake slaves you can heat them up and dunk them in water it works magic
Yes I want to see another video about that truck, awesome to watch yall make that truck come back to life
Super cool stuff know it was a lot of work but the pay off was worth all the effort 👌 ❤️!! Only question is, may have missed it but...what about the drivers side door? Enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Still looking for one
Something l have done, is soak my parts in distilled vinegar overnight with. steel. 6 to 10 hours with aluminum. Then marvel oil. Something to think about.
Excellent work guys...I'm an old school mechanic and i love to see bringing back these beautiful old truck from the dead
Keep going!
A 40-year-old truck you really should have considered replacing your axle seals so they don't leak into your wheels and kill your brakes.
Wow that master cylinder was way better internally than I’d ever expect from something sitting that long
Id love to see more
Would like to see more on this truck. Get it mechanically sound,pull the dents out, straighten out the electrical,and she will be better than these new trucks! Keep the videos coming!
Soo cool !!
Great stuff,keep the classics rolling
I would love to see more on this. I want to see that repair on the tranny, I really really want to find out why it's not getting oil up there. That bothers me something fierce.
would love to see more of this truck, you can't find stuff like this where I live in Iraq, oldest vehicles out here are 90s korean shitboxes and 80s chevy Malibu's lol
Wow. That’s crazy.
Those Malibu's were standards I believe they couldn't sell then here. So they end up over there.
You should be sandblasting those cast iron parts and giving them coat of paint before putting them back on.
Please restore this to pass state inspection. I’m very interested ! Notification on.
Thank you for watching
Looks good! Are you all putting any additives in with the oil? I know for old engines you made need a zinc additive to properly lubricate the cam and lifters.
We use diesel oil which has zinc. And some marvel mystery oil
Shell Rotella T6 works great in the old engines. Another good thing to add to the fuel is lead additive with Marvel Mystery Oil.
Awesome to see such a totally abandoned rig back on the move! Keep going with the videos!
Los felicito por volver a la vida esta camioneta¡¡¡.creo que con unos pequeños arreglos más quedaría muy bien para andar por cercanías. Cuando le pongas luces, vidrios y endereces la trompa tendrá mejor aspecto. Los saluda cordialmente un argentino desde España esperando pronto ver más de esta historia.
Great work Guys,
That engine sounds so sweet & strong,
Waiting for your vid!
Oh Yeah Love to see More My Dad and Brother had International Pickups
Re: the copper washers: they frequently leak when reused because copper work hardens VERY quickly. If you lay the old washers on something like a dry cinder block and heat them to a dull red glow with a propane/mapp/etc torch they will soften up and conform to their new sealing surfaces.
Restoration would be perfect... Just straighten it out, get a door on it... New glass...
normaly after soaking you use old break shoe to try and rotate first,its easier
PUT A WIRE BRUSH ON A SIDE GRINDER CLEAN PUT A LUB ON CONTAC POINTS AND SPRAY PAINT SIMPLE.
Nice work! I would love to see more of this truck! Make it road worthy!
Looks like you still have 1 wheel with lefthand threads. That might be confusing for someone.
Are you gonna rebuild the stakebed? It looks cool with one on it.
First off where’s the drivers door ? Are you around the Yuma area ( looks like it to me ) from what I remembered ! Lol. A RUclips channel called Halfass kustoms just might have some parts for your international ! A farmer up here has a crap load of International trucks but not sure if he has one that old , I’ll check on it for you if you want . New subscriber !
Thanks for subscribing and yeah I’m in Az
Definately want to see more im hooked, id like to see some headlights placed. Some retrofitting its an old truck throw some more love into it maybe find a bench seat to work
More updates please!!!!
I would've put Lucas oil treatment.
Good.
So stoked
Great job brother. 💕 from India. Hope to se the 🚛 fully restored
Thank you for watching from India
I messaged you on Instagram about some parts. The water pump may stop leaking after the seal gets moist again and swells.
Excelente trabajo de restauración, saludos desde Perú!
Saw you on Instagram and came here..
Great video
Amazing!
That was a very injoyable video, great content. Would enjoy seeing you do more with the old girl. Thanks for your hard work ☺️.
Thank you for watching
More up date….love old cares and trucks…..good job guys
I would love to see more of this truck! You have done a great job getting it driving! Make it road worthy!
Thank you for watching there’s more to come
Good Job you can do more to the Body and the lights ☺️
The real story is you brought this truck back from the dead and saved it from rotting away. That was amazing it gets a second chance at life and is a great piece of history. The better story would be all of your fans and you coming together and finding everything needed to make that old truck shine again. Every little piece that goes back on that truck would just ad to the miracle and be a great example of what people can accomplish if they all work together. Call me crazy but when I see old things that would have been otherwise lost to time it makes me really happy almost as if that old truck had a soul and feelings as well and you two saved it from the grave. The other thing I like are the memories that you two are making together and sharing with the world, very cool !!!! I hope you take this truck all the way THE DREAM MACHINE :) I will buy a ticket to ride when the old truck is ready. :) But I want to ride in the back like the good old days :)
