Don't give me wrong, I buy American whenever I can; however, I must admit that almost all companies in the U.S. selling restoration parts for historic vehicles, let them made in China or Taiwan. Despite made in Taiwan is still the better bet than China, I had not made any bad experience so far with such parts. They fit and function perfectly. They are made to the original specs. Maybe I just had luck?

[@theetravisb]

I have not had that experience

[@OnePieceTractor]

​@@theetravisbme neither it seems like the bolt-holes just never quite line up so there you are doing fabrication on a brand new part

[@Mr.big_man]

Old American cars? Yes. New American cars? No. All new American cars just aren't as reliable as a Toyota or Honda. Still better than any German brand, though."

[@jesusmanzano451]

How much of wrong feeling and perception guys. Talking bad about china and germany (evil rigth) america good. Japanese better, its all the american doctrine

[@hansosl]

The Problem with german cars ist that they are offen not build in germany anymore.... also quality has ging bad subce 2005 even in germany ...vw 1.6 egines with 75hp from the 80sand 90s were unkillable...but today the egines go Bad under 100.000km....

[@johndonlon1611]

Patience earns its own reward; in this case a running and drivable 1946 International pickup. This has been an extremely engaging and interesting series. Thanks for sharing the experiences and press on.

[@Telephony954]

Dang it Patrick, thank you. that was a hell of a deal, and another ol relic rides again. We have all been waiting for this episode, and well worth the wait. Thanks for sharing guys. well done. be well.

[@theetravisb]

Glad you enjoyed and yes Patrick is awesome

[@jasonmorales1846]

Kinda looks like the type of a truck in a horror movie chasing teenagers on a dirt road!I LIKE IT!!

[@jcis1013]

Ah the dynamics of father and son projects. “Quit takin it offa there!”

[@toms1979]

I built my own little tool for taking those adjustable steering links apart. Just cut a small piece of 3/16" steel to fit inside the slot of the adjuster and then weld it to the face of a big nut. That way you can just tap it into the slot and then use an impact wrench on the nut. Works pretty good.

[@Daves_classics]

Just watched all the videos on this vehicle, absolutely enjoyed it, thank you, also like the fact you give us a bit of history about your country. Thank you

[@avocadoarms358]

Better than wd40 on those really old thick parts is paraffin wax aka a tea candle. Get it hot and let it melt in, smoothest bolt extractions👌🏽

[@Awsom47Merc]

* Oh Thank The Lord !!! Now I can move on to another rescue vid . 🥴 You gentlemen did a fine job resurrecting that IH . If that truck has a soul it's rejoicing. It thought it had reached the end of it's days. 👊😎👍

[@stephenhowell5122]

Great to see progress on the ‘46 I love this truck!

[@spamanator666]

That was a super clean door, probably the nicest part on that truck now. :D

[@garyfeltus9801]

Cool video. I'm an old truck driver. Back in the day that restaurant was a happing place they had great food plus an antique shop and a suvnear shop. Used to be a busy place.

[@garycorbin2789]

What happened?

I believe the guy that owned had a heart attack but I'm not real sure.

[@darinwink-ou4qk]

Not sure how far back you monitor Travis, but I've been really enjoying your content. Your IH rebuild reminded me of my Studebaker farm truck rebuild. A few things that I found very helpful and very wallet efficient during my rebuild: WHITE VINEGAR - When you got lots of time, less money, and want to reuse parts then the acetic acid of white vinegar chemically converts rust to a salt so all you're left with is whatever good metal you started with. Was very successful for me in helping me free up frozen wheel cylinders and bringing original fasteners back to finger spinning shape. I cleaned cooling systems with it and it was really my go to. Much as your IH I ended up being able to clean up and rebuild all the original parts. Drawback is it does take time (up to 2 weeks), parts need to be completely submerged, and after the vinegar bath parts must be neutralized in a base solution like baking soda water for about half the time of the original soak or they will flash rust immediately. EVAPO-RUST - Another submerging liquid to remove rust, but it works in a non-acid way to it's very safe and it's very fast. Sometimes as quickly as just a few hours to overnight you'll be left with just good metal again. Stuff is like magic. Drawback is it's expensive, but it can be reused for awhile and if it's stored in something with a lid then it will keep it from evaporating. THERMO-CURE - Made by the same company as Evaporust, it is a cooling system derust and cleaner. It comes in a quart jug and you just pour it in and then fill the rest with water. Vehicle can be driven while it's in there working. It did an amazing job cleaning all the rust from inside the block of my Studebaker. The process it uses turns all the corrosion and nastiness into a fine particle in suspension so there's no worry of clogging passages, radiators, or thermostats. I gave it about two weeks of driving to work and then flushed it out with about 12 gallons of distilled water. If you capture the old water coming out you'll see all the nastiness that it's cleaned out. Keep up the hard work brother and thanks again for the content.

[@theetravisb]

Thanks for the info and for following glad you enjoy .

[@wilcothefox]

You have great perseverance. It's nice to see how much patience you have.

[@theetravisb]

Thank you

[@kelsiewalls6304]

Great job, i just found this series, I absolutely love the International trucks. I also appreciate the time spent with you and your father. Great to see how your Dad loves working on these classics and spending time with his son! Cherish this time you have. God Bless you both.

[@ChaytonRemington]

Yes! Been patently waiting on another episode on this old rig. Excited to watch.

[@heritagecarpetcleaningrest309]

I'm truly amazed how you fix these old rides. To do what you have done to brings these classics back to life is awesome.

[@MOTORKIDZ12]

I’m so happy you guys work on old internationals I have 4 internationals but a couple years later

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another , Brothers !!

[@Jamestfarrell]

Another great video with lots of detail! Keep in mind that excessive high heat will anneal steel. You don't want those steering rods bending under stress.

[@zeds000]

I’m concerned that the paper said 2014 but the mustard expired in 2013 😂

[@TheMrShinagami]

Great to see you get these bits. It might be that the hinges had come from a accident damaged truck and may have been a little out of shape. It would explain why the old owner cut the door to get them off. I hope we see more of this truck.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Beautiful job. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

[@matthewwarholy6958]

First off, Love your builds and watch every one of them. I went to the KOFA restaurant in 2001 driving from Los Angeles to Jerome AZ in a 62 VW Bus for a campout. I think KOFA was short for King of Arizona. The food was good in the middle of a dusty Arizona evening and we let the air cooled 1641 cool off. Good times>

[@hotrodZack1948]

Awesome! I randomly remembered this truck and looked it up glad you got a door and those other parts! Now you gotta take the dent out of the back of the cab and rear fenders😝 get you some stock steel wheels and some matching bias tires and a new grill and it’ll be lookin good! Clean up that wiring too with some cloth/asphalt loom and friction tape.

[@fred414141]

YAAAYYY!! i just knew there had to be a door out there somewhere! many thanks to Patrick for the parts. now where would i go with his one? i'd bang out the dents (no bondo!) then cut out and patch the rust-outs (patch-paint 'em with original color green) paint the interior a tan/light brown color (match the seat, leave the dash and steering column as is) replace the cracked glass. remove the running boards. new whitewall tires, paint the wheels original color green and add baby moons. great job guys! i love this truck!

This is my favorite build you've done. Just kinda cool that the old truck has life again. If it were me, I'd spend just one more day banging out the fenders-- not to make them perfect, but just so they have shape.

[@infinitetradecraft1837]

Just catching up on this project. You say you didn't touch the drivetrain... when I was rebuilding my 40 buick, the fuel and oil pump were diaphragms in the same housing, run off the crankshaft. They had cracks and leaked fuel into the oil pan. I was able to drive her, but when I went to change the oil I got something like 12 quarts from a 6(?) quart pan... because it had been gradually diluted with gasoline. Just something to check, especially if the pumps are like mine, in the same housing. That was an exciting disposal. Lol.

[@orsonwells7997]

Had one of those on the farm back in the sixties. Ours had the hand crank windshield wipers that were fascinating to a little kid. Two tons of ground cow feed and half a dozen of the neighbor kids coming back from the feed mill did her in. Who knew that it was to much strain on the old girl.

[@theetravisb]

Dang. That’s an interesting story

[@steeliewheelies]

The story of the revival of this truck makes it infinitely times more valuable and interesting to me than any frame off restoration trailer queen
