Abandoned 1946 international, will it drive after sitting 50+ years??

[@theetravisb]

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. Check out the Merch ! theetravisb.com

[@chrisbuddvlogs1893]

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.

[@codyvought8923]

Where did you fide the stuff to redo the master cyclder and brake cyclder?

[@xanthinejunkie4743]

You should nickname the truck 'scorpion'!

[@josephg41]

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.

[@theetravisb]

I agree!

[@Cherokee93]

Good lucking truck I like these ones, sadly can’t find something similar in my area for less than 1000

[@eshine2001]

[@steeliewheelies]

Wow that master cylinder was way better internally than I’d ever expect from something sitting that long

[@buxxbannerspov30]

Yeah, would REALLY like to see more on this old truck!

[@danno4081]

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

[@theetravisb]

I am Sorry to hear that. I am glad we get to work together. Thank you for watching.

[@noahreese2455]

Please do another episode. I’d love to see up and running and some headlight and break lights on.😁😁🥹

[@alijahdemoss]

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

[@theetravisb]

Thank you editing all these myself is just as tough as making the content!

[@petershaw1705]

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

[@ronaldcooper7609]

I'm glad to see that you found an old MOTOR manual to set the brakes up.

This is to ALL the people out there at are saving OLD IRON from the junk yard. When I was little one of my favorite things was watching Mr. Calhoun work in his auto repair shop it is up the alley from my grandparent's/Dad's home so many summer days in the 60s and 70s I spend watching him bring vehicles back to life, and so your program reminds me of happy childhood summers keep up the GOOD WORK all of you. BIG OLD IRON to little old iron and other programs. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE and HEALTH.

[@theetravisb]

Thank you for watching God bless you to

[@richardcline1337]

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.

[@edog7059]

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.

[@bobtucker8875]

That was a very injoyable video, great content. Would enjoy seeing you do more with the old girl. Thanks for your hard work ☺️.

[@theetravisb]

Thank you for watching

[@billdyke9745]

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...

[@TonyTony-by2vr]

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!

[@dannyflores4096]

No worries about the equipment = we are lucky that you entertain us out in KZbin land = love you guys and your dad = you are so lucky to have a dad by your side

[@cleophusA]

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.

[@davidkastin4240]

Yes more on this old truck please.

[@NickStanco54]

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

[@theetravisb]

Thank you. Doing the work and filming at the same time is tricky.

[@jerryferguson6606]

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

[@theetravisb]

That’s the plan thanks for watching

[@randyriggs5463]

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!

[@bobjohnston8316]

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.

[@williamhorn4600]

Yes I want to see another video about that truck, awesome to watch yall make that truck come back to life

[@kwqd54]

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.

[@62_C10]

i think the coolest part is it looks like you drove it off the farm where it was parked 50 years ago. Epic save.

My dad was diagnosed with cancer while My wife and I were on our honeymoon. I enjoy your relationship with your dad. My wife’s brothers were not close with their dad and I tried to tell them to cherish their time with him. Some days he would ask them to do something and they wouldn’t take time. I filled in. Most times he wanted to go get a cup of coffee and talk to his old friends.

[@theetravisb]

I am glad you enjoy the videos. More people should take the time with their dads. Thanks for sharing

[@leonhart2452]

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.

[@romandjma.recordplayers7806]

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

[@theetravisb]

Gotta make do with what you got haha. And the gears are choppy. Later found I was out of adjustment.

[@johnginn91]

Yes. Get it road worthy. Lights and all. Thank You.

[@brettmiller9609]

Years ago I had a 47 kb1 just like this. I'm enjoying the revival and can't wait to see what the end result will be

[@leonhart2452]

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.

[@jerrywesterfield5636]

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.

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

Oh Yeah Love to see More My Dad and Brother had International Pickups

[@The97Powerstrokin]

Awesome to see such a totally abandoned rig back on the move! Keep going with the videos!

[@leonhart2452]

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.

[@Dangmouse]

Want to see more of this truck its awesome!

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 :)

[@KoolFJ40]

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!

[@harryharry4724]

It’s amazing wearing sun glasses while you work on the truck!! 😎

[@fire48pw]

I must admit I thought it was a lost cause but you guys did it! Congratulations.👍👍

[@steeliewheelies]

“Ob-stackle” lol I say that kind of thing all the time. I do love how those wheels and tires fit the truck. Square-shoulder tread bias ply tires are my favorite

[@steeliewheelies]

Ah well you got better tires later but still the rims look great. I already know you get some white walls for it so it only gets better from here

[@kfink77]

Gosh I like how easily accessible these old motors n things are....new cars these days are such a pain

[@chuckhaynes6458]

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.

[@jmrose60]

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.

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.

[@jeffman3]

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.

[@MediocreGamer1979]

I'd love to see this vehicle fully restored.

To reuse a copper washer you get the blow lamp out and heat them up till they change colour let cool and refit. I have a Hyundai i800 mini bus, one of the injector seats leak and I’ve had to use two copper washers to seal the leaking compression from a damaged injector seat.
