It's disrespectful to watch a channel and not subscribe! It doesn't cost anything nor does it obligate you to anything. It just supports the channel and helps the people who spend their money and time making the videos that you like to watch. these guys earn it. And if they've kept you entertained or engaged for the video. It ain't gonna hurt you to hit the like button. They've earned that too.
Appreciate that 💪🏼💪🏼
Today I’d agree with you on the 120 thousand, but then, trucks weren’t usually driven like we do today, they didn’t run to Walmart and McDonald’s every day…..
It ain't got no gas in it.sorry couldn't help it.😊😅😂utube sux😊
Driving a truck like this was hard work, especially on the rough roads they had back in the day. 50,000 miles in one of these is like 300,000 in a modern vehicle.
Really enjoy this content. Love the interaction with dad and son. "Work that throttle!" "I am!" Love it.
Love this channel. Please see these trucks through, or do more on your stuff. Not enough channels finishing projects.
The 49 is going to take a little work. You men do a great job on this old Iron. And your dads body work is awesome on El Camino The 46 International is cool. Parts I can see going to be tough. Thank you for sharing! ❤️💯
Love the old trucks. I have a 68 Dodge. I wish mine had a hemi instead of the 318 now. Thumbs Up and have a good weekend also.
Amazing how suspenseful it is when that engine is turning over and almost running...I was thinking, "Come on, come on...please start so I can breathe easy again!"
Awesome channel. I really enjoy seeing the 40, 50s model trucks. Keep up the great work! You and your father make a great team! My late father and I were best friends and we worked on everything together..trucks, tractors, dozers etc. he’s been gone 15 years now. Treasure what you have there together!
Travis and his Dad:
Sitting together on the tailgate of a pickup.
@16:04
What a great moment preserved for prosperity.
Father and son side by side as it should be.
You guys are great! Glad to hear the International is still around!! Looking forward to seeing the following video!!!
Ill say the coolest thing is that you are fortunate to work this project with your dad, I wish i could work my projects with my Papa RIP dad I miss you ❤
Hell yeah, new video. Much love from Texas
Thanks for watching from Texas
Your Dad is good at everything 😁👍
Definitely is
👍😁
Great vid. Halfass Customs have a unique way of getting the compression up for starting. He puts it in gear and drags it around the yard with a forklift for half an hour. Seems to work. Probably would break a bent valve though.
Yeah that’s a good way of doing it if you can
If it was up to me, I'd pull the day light's out of it till it ran.
If the tires woulda held air ida tried
Can't believe what a great job your dad did on that Chevy nice
Pretty insane . Looks so good
Awesome channel you dad is doing a great job on El Camino and love that International!
Thanks yeah he’s killin it !
You should drive the truck into a city where fans can go and take a picture with it for only 5 bucks each!
I can't believe someone would park such an awesome truck over a flat tire!😳
It's pretty amazing how similar the Dodge is the the IH of the same year. I still own my KB2, like the one you worked on, but no longer own my old 1953 Dodge-same engine as the 49 you're working on now. Both trucks should have a provision for a hand crank through the grille, just below the radiator.
That's a cool old truck! I miss Arizona. I use to live in Thatcher right outside of Safford and also Prescott Valley. Someday I'll make it back to visit family
Not a bad area and thank you for the stickers just got them
Keep up with that international truck
I can imagened
Already. Sharp full restored.
Thanks guys.
Hope you guys get another chance to get that old Dodge running. Such a cool truck. Kuddos to Daddy Rick on the El Camino body work. It's looking great.
Nice to watching you guys working on these classics.
keep going with good simple content.
greets from belgium ;-)
Thanks for watching from belgium!
Your dad did a good job on that quarter panel. Hope to see that truck running soon
Great effort guys. Surely it suffers from low compression and definately deserves another more thorough try! Also that old BMW on the background was begging for some attention and would be a nice treat for us European subscribers if you would give that old lady a shot ... You would definately need some metric wrenches for her though😉. Cheers from Greece! Keep up!
Wow thanks for watching from Greece. Yeah the motors a little tired.
You don’t have to worry about me. I will keep watching a video with old cars and a father son team. Not to mention I love the El Camino.
This is beyond cool. I hope the subscriber comes through with the door and other parts you need. I can see tons of content coming onto youtube. Please be safe.
great video again! keep us up to date with any luck you have finding parts for the cars.
Greetings from West Michigan. I enjoy your videos. Staying tight to a budget and being creative in getting those rusty treasures going again. I especially like the '60 El Camino project. Your Dad, Rick is working some magic with his metalworking skills. Good luck and keep the videos coming. 👍
Yes he’s a wizard
That make two of us from the West Michigan area!
@@Ranman451I am in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan myself.😊
Great project. Wish I didn’t live here in a rust belt
The truck is a 1950. The 3 on the tree and the painted grill bars are the indicators. The 49 had a floor shift and stainless grill bars
I love these older machines. Looking forward to the next installment. 🇬🇧👍
Really enjoy your Channel. Greetings from Florida.
Thanks for viewing from Florida. Want to make it there someday soon
Kudos to that poor old starter!😂😂😂
Seriously lol
😅 I love you 46 international I have a 41 that’s one of my projects hopefully it’ll be on the road soon good luck with your projects
I see wheel studs with lug nuts. That means 3/4-ton. Half tons had wheel bolts. That is a great find!
Surprised to hear that the plugs are B.F. Goodrich, I had never seen or heard that they had spark plugs with their name on them, Chrysler used Autolite for their ignition parts (this was prior to Fords ownership)
I’ve never seen them either !
Cool 2002 in the background, too...
On the Dodge use a 12 volt battery and a resistor to send 8 volts to the coil make the spark a little hotter
Oh man nice work on the El Camino guys. That looks amazing 👌 you guys are doing the right thing by repurposing old parts👍 love that international.
I wouldn't mind living there. I liked the video.
Great job on the Chevy El Camino body work, I do not see any problem using the olds door for the Chevy. You tried to find someone that needed the door (s) without success. 👍
Sou grande entusiasta de automóveis antigos, considero produtos de uma época que as coisas eram feitas para durar, com muita robustez, simplicidade e eficiência com as disponibilidades que existiam naqueles tempos. Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
You fellas would be well served to build a small fuel tank with an electric fuel pump that would run off a jump pack. FIll er up with the appropriate fuel, set it up on the roof and run a temporary fuel line to the carburetor (or injection pump). That way you eliminate any number of wild card variables right off the bat. Not a big expense, especially considering the cuss'n and head banging it will save. 😊A couple of cans of Kroil on the job would be a big help too. When in doubt - soak er down. The prop for the hood still has a rubber cap on the top end. Amazing Thought the Tucson region climate would have disintegrated that decades ago. A 12 volt inverter to 110 that will run an air compressor (Harbor Freight - here we come) off your vehicle would be a huge help too. Pretty tough to clear off 40 years of desert corruption with a floor broom 😅 In case it's not clear - my first step is compressed air and Kroil 🤣
The rubber still remains it just gets so brittle and hard like a brick you can break it like a candy cane
A battery powered leaf blower would have come in handy to blow all that trash away.
Cool video, love those old trucks
Try Merlins Old School Garage to see what he knows about engines that are laying around.Good Luck. The first thing that I saw you put out ras 60 Impala and that is what Idrove in high school.
That tail fin ERASES any possible “disappointment” I would have over not getting that Dodger started. I never appreciated beat up old trucks before you folks showed me how cool they could be. Not even “Mater” from “Cars” could make me like rusted old hulks, lol. Mahalo for another super video. I know the Sun is unrelenting out there and that you couldn’t bring Boo with you, but maybe you just needed a pinch of his supervision and inspiration, lol. Take care and Aloha to all three of you.❤
I’m glad you enjoy our vids and yes boo had to stay home
With as much gas as you poured in the carb, you shouldn't need to close the choke. Doing so doesn't allow enough air to mix with the gas.
That’s a beautiful old dodge.
Can't wait for the return trip for that 49 Dodge! That engine WILL RUN if you take off the head and fix the valves.
You two need to find an old wrecker, you guys could load it with everything you need to do the job, generator, fuel, first aid kit, snake bite kit, lol. You would look good in a rat rod wrecker.👍
I’d love to find an old wrecker
If you look at the shackles either a full size Chevy half ton OBS or an S10 shackle should work in replacement for the shackles that are on it right now that are rotted
First thing on a points carb car to do. CLEAN THE POINTS. ALWAYS! LOL. GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for the fun! You know that BMW in the background would be a lot more popular and a lot more fun. But keep up the videos!
El Camino. ❤ 👏👏🤘🏼👍👍 I'm happy to see those vehicles coming together. Thanks for the updates
Try Brake and Equipment in Mineapolis for brake parts for the Int
Awesome find men
Great trk. I had a old dodge pickup Iam 76 years old I got to see all the old cars growing up. No computers just good old basics. I've had alot of the old cars . Really like the idea of you and your Dad saving thes old cars and trks.
Dad. Had. The. Same. Fargo. In. The. Early. Sixties. Thanks
My gawd, I love it.
Great to see the ‘46 International again. One of my favorite trucks on anybody’s channel. Can’t wait to see the next video on it!
Felistasiones a los grandes maestros mecánicos favulosos estraordinario maravilloso saludos cordiales dé la república de Chile por la razón o la fuerza
My Dad had a '49 dodge pickup like that one. Would be cool to see the old girl running again
So close, If it would have fired up and gone through a heat cycle, I think it would've fixed the compression issue. Nice job on the El Camino too.
Thank you
Loyal follower here. I love what you guys do! A old timer told me about a trick with these Dodge Flat Heads that have been sitting for a long time. Add some ATF down the Carb when cranking it or while it is running not much just a wee bit. I loosens the Valves up usually. I have a 53 Dodge Pilot House Era like yours except it is a 1 ton with a 237 CI engine. A little higher RPMs but you are correct yours should be the 230. 👍👍
A father and his son cleaning B F Goodtich sparkplugs in a middle of nowhere It doesn't get any better than thst
www.youtube.com/@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Ask this guy if he has a door for the old truck your looking for one of. He is in Hutchinson Ks. He may be able to get one for you...
Kool old skool Dodge, nice patina. I never heard of an 8 volt battery.
Always a good time seeing what you find
I’m in cochise
I too am always keeping my eyes open for things like this 👍
Boy the tail fin on that El Camino is looking sweet! Keep the videos coming (I subscribed the first time I viewed).
Thanks for that support
I have a 1939 Ford Delux 4 Dr, I run a 8 vet battery in it. Works great
HURRAY for the new tail fin !! Yep, you'll get that '49 Dodge pick up running !!
Those engines will always start. And they're ridiculously simple. Use some new plug wires and clean and set the points
I had N 8 volt battery in my 1940 Pontiac. Worked great.
Working with your father can be pleasant and fun, or miserable and aggravating.
My father and I do carpentry, flip homes, build decks, do landscaping... That kind of thing. He's broad strokes, work fast, see the project being completed.
I love the meticulous small things. Taking the interior out of my car to deep clean it every couple years, making sure everything fits perfectly, figuring out the why and how.
It's nice you two have similar interests and goals and can have a back and forth like 21:47.
I like many, am enjoying watching the two of you work and rebuild things together.
Appreciate that thank you for sharing
Put heavy oil in the pistons to build compression
Good idea
A shop vac would be handy.
Next tool on the list:: Milwaukee battery powered blower !!!! Save you an hour of cleaning up 🐀....!! And blowing the death dust out of the cab. Your dad did a nice job on that back fin. Better to use the old iron then scrap it
Yes he did do stellar.
You should just leave the work to your dad..he's the one with the skills
The last conversation I had with my dad was him wanting to build this truck. He was very detailed about what he wanted. 225 slant 6/904 automatic. He preferred the 3 on the tree but had just had hip replacement and couldn't clutch. 2 days later I got the call that he had passed. I want one of these in his honor.
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing
Как вы задолбали. Нашел древнюю тачку? Чисти трамблёр, кулачок, бегунок, меня провода и свечи, и, самое главное, но что вы все ложите большой и толстый - почистите карбюратор, там за столько лет все совсем грустно
I'm subscribed enjoy watching you guys
Thanks for subscribing
That is 1 beautiful truck. 😂 I'm looking forward to seeing it run.
That old pickup is “Ram tough.” Love it.
Great job on the el camino an the truck , can wait ones u guys finish does projects. God bless 🙌
God bless 🙏
Hey what are you going to do with all the cars and trucks you do.
This has become one of my top 5 favorite channels to watch. I can’t wait to see more about this ‘49 Dodge, and thank you for the updates on the El Camino and the ‘46 International! Keep up the great work!🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for watching. The more views the more we can do!
For some unknown reason, RUclips unsubscribes me. so I have to hit the subscribe button and keep checking it.
Thank you
And the lifetime achievement award goes to the starter motor at 70+ and still givin the beans.
Seriously it ran better than the engine lol
Man you and your dad are doing a great job with the Chanel I'm a true sob and I love the Chanel so keep on keeping on
Heck yeah thanks for the feedback
Cool ol' Dodge!! 😍 👍
Should have taken the BMW 2002 as well!
Hi Travis and Rick,,Max and I hope you got our common it seems to have gotten lost but anyways great video.. we are watching your video on our phone 📱..
Yes I saw !
You seemed upset??
Outstanding video 👍👍👍, really liked the updates on the elcomino and the 49. I can see this channel going places. Glad I subbed. Keep up the great work boys. Can't wait for the next video.
Thank you for your support
You and your pops are a great team love it guys
Thank you
Those sediment bowls have cork gaskets that really need to be constantly wet. Once they dry out you’ll have to replace them. Fortunately even now they are cheap and readily available.
The IH engine looks enough like a a Chrysler engine to be one.
Great video. Old man has skills doing the metal work on the El Camino . Enjoy your videos
💥Our stock daily driver 1949 Dodge B1C 3/4 Ton Pickup is still 6 Volt (not 8 Volt, see 1:08 min.) 🤣and all original - plus, it is a CALIFORNIA TRUCK with a rare Los Angeles, CA VIN. Check it out on RUclips: www.youtube.com/@DPCDlogo
