Will this Classic International Pickup Run and Drive after being Parked 24 Years Ago?

[@mikeobrien3744]

I have done a lot of 727 and 904 trans. It is worth the time to take out the valve body and see if the valves are gummed up from sitting. Easy to put in a shift kit at the same time. I have saved a lot of them with that trick.

[@ralphhowes]

Seeing and hearing that old International fire up was a beautiful moment.

[@redneckryan615]

I own 3 old IH's all with 345's. One was sitting since 74, one since 93, and one for 5 years. All 3 of them fired right up with a little fuel down the carb. Those engine are one of the most bullet proof gas engines ever put in a truck.

[@gerryroush8391]

Yep it really ticks me off when I see them replaced with a chchchevy Chevy chev Chevy Chevy engine

[@redneckryan615]

@@gerryroush8391 I totally agree. I hate seeing them with really any other engine other than an IH bred, but there's something about an ls that adds insult to injury.

[@brewmaster0507]

Love IH. My dad had a junkyard in the 1980s and our tow trucks were a 72IH with a 345 and a 69IH with a 304. Cant wait to see the build. Subscribed.

[@Tnenamrep2]

What an awesome truck! It's so rare to see a vehicle that's been parked for decades, that actually wants to run.

[@joakimhoglund7155]

allways amazed that those old trucks start and isnt total rustbuckets. And about the noise, did not mind it at all. really liked the sound of that chainsaw. made it sound real and genuine.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

If it's a 727 makes sure you check it in NEUTRAL with the engine running. It will show fuller in Park than it actually is because of how the fluid is routed from the pump in the park position.

[@boodrowmalone75]

I had a 74 200 4x4 for 23 years. It was a 392 4 speed and ran like a Swiss watch. It got 10 mpg all day long, loaded or not. It was solid as a rock and absolutely beat you to death. I would suggest replacing the transmission with a 4 speed OD unit for better mileage and lower rpm at highway speeds. If budget allows a fuel injection change over would make it modern daily driver. Keep up the good work.

[@tonyfriend7413]

learned how to drive in one of these in the late 1960s as a little boy! A 1964 IH 3 speed on the floor! Have been a clutch man ever since. 11/03/20

[@chuckhaynes6458]

Love those old Cornbinders. Engines that seemingly run forever (even though they won't pass anything including a gas station). 727 Torqueflites are the best automatic ever built. MoPar race cars from the '60's and '70's will attest to that. Looks like a winner for a shop truck that's just a little different.

[@SMKreitzer1968]

Had a 59 International Travel all, wish I still had it, would be a great project. Thanks for sharing, look forward to your build.

[@christopherguzzi1316]

The original square body!!! My stepdad had a similar year International pickup, but it was gold and a half ton. I always liked that truck, probably because we owned it and also because it just wasn't as common as Chevy's and Ford's so you didn't see as many around. Can't wait to see how the build progresses.

[@snowdogs59]

Glad you’re keeping that old lady, can’t wait to see what you do with it. Most honest channel on KZbin!

[@alexinnewwest1860]

Awesome! Love to see an International build.! Everyone has done chevys and fords The 727 is a really simple transmission. You should have no problems building it yourself

[@rogercamp6071]

Since that's a '69 it should have a Borg Warner automatic transmission,IH didn't start using 727 transmission until around '72 or '73, the '73 that I owned in the middle nineties had one of them

[@alexinnewwest1860]

Ahhhh yea your so right. I forgot about the BW, way back I had a 70 scout the BW auto, Well maybe this pickup just needs a filter and band adjustment

[@Brandenlytle1]

I beg of you, please don’t swap an LS into that truck, keep it IH

[@terryezzell7376]

Looks like you really lucked out on that deal. That cab interior looks like the upgraded deluxe version, which is possibly rare for a 3/4 ton pickup. Some exhaust work, some wiring, and rattle can paint on the bed to match the cab, y'all will have a good looking truck to send down the road

[@sylvainleseur1072]

Fast , no smoke... Bravo. Thanks to share with us. Sy

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thanks Sy!

[@OldChief27]

A great old truck. Looking forward to seeing what you folks do with it. My grandfather retired from IH, my older sisters were models in their truck ads back in the late ‘50s.

[@richardhill4862]

I like your commentary on the different projects and the fact you like old cars and trucks.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Love it... Try filling the oil filter as much as you can, an FL1 will hold almost a quart of oil. That last cam bearing will appreciate it...

[@midlandmotormofia2001]

I'm glad you showed the carb rebuild- wish you had showed just a little more of it because I just got my step-dad old ford truck and it needs a carb rebuild or replace so I found that part super informative 👍- i really enjoy the videos of these cars and trucks being brought back from the dead

[@dukeriluo]

Love it. Since you are planning to keep it, fix the gearbox, light tint on those windows for hot days, slight paint refurb job with your logo on it. Nice exhaust and tidy up the suspension to make it a great work machine for moving things. Plus with your logo it will be a good example of your work as an advertisement :P

[@scdevon]

Those old International engines are real beasts. Solid piece of 'Murican iron. Extra credit for the Marvel Mystery Oil pre-treatment on those cylinders.

[@alanearl4637]

Would love to see you do a budget transmission rebuild. She reminds me of our old 64 studebaker champ. We loved that old truck. Now I want an old shop truck again.

[@amywalker4015]

Donated to Children's Hospital. Wish me luck. You guys are fun to watch!! (Including your pops cause we are old, older than him. Wink.)

[@daviddavis4444]

I bought my Dad a 69 International with a 304 V8 and 4 speed back in the 80's my brother fixed a dropped lifter and the thing ran for years

[@adamlyon5231]

I have a 1975 IH 200 4x4 with a 345. Also has the 727 transmission. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m very much looking forward to watching this truck get built.

[@cloudninephoto]

Very cool. We don't get anything like this in the UK. You guys have all the fun. Don't worry about all the hatters on road noise. They're idiots. ❤️.

[@treverwhetzel9603]

Great to see you giving an ol' Cornbinder some love. Unless an aftermarket swap happened, which is certainly possible, that auto trans would be a Borg Warner 11. The Torqueflite was not a faktree deal in these Binders until the 1972 model year.

[@peteredwards9147]

Great looking solid truck, it's good to see these old vehicles get a second chance to run another day. Good content, can't wait to see more on this truck keep safe and have fun from the UK

[@kevinrundle3167]

I bought a 1968 1200C 4x4 that had been sitting in the woods for 30 years. It was an old fire department brush truck. Had 29K on the clock. 304 cubic inch that was stuck from sitting. Doused the cylinders with penetrating oil. Let sit for a week, then some more oil. Put 4 gallons of oil in, drained it. Then she broke free. Plugs , wires, rotor, cap , and points. Hooked up the boat tank and within a minute she was idling like a new truck! I really like those old trucks

[@Trenton-om9qs]

Cool old International. You don't see these trucks that often

[@buddyrevell6369]

Props for not immediately doing a burnout once you got it running.. body looks to be in amazing shape. How's the frame?

[@dannyhannah2487]

Awesome job getting it to run after 24 years! Keep it up!

[@VintageCars999]

Sweet truck, need to see some transmission rebuilds on KZbin, probably out there but I haven't seen too many gearheads taking them apart yet.

[@jeffchapman5742]

Pruitt's transmission shop in Anderson do an awesome job.

[@roygunter3244]

In the mid 70s I worked for a company that had Travelall with a 345 and a 1/2 ton with a 400. Both of them were powerful and long lasting but both of them were really thirsty, I mean really thirsty. I was working 100 miles away in about 1990 when I looked up to see the 1974, which the company had sold with over 100k on it in about 1980 going down the street. It had the shop logo on it still and although it had dents all over it I recognized it. That truck had torque that was phenomenal but it had two gas tanks for a reason

[@gregpallett1839]

What a great truck. I’d love something like it, talk about character and personality. Also love your Wolfsburg shirt 👍👍

[@ianformer]

As always love the vids Michael.. my pops had a 71 IH truck... this one reminds me of his. Really glad to see the work paying off for you. Stay the course!!

[@patrickcorley4907]

Your channel and videos are a lot better than a few others I’ve checked out!!

[@shamikinani]

I know nothing about International... but this is a good work you doing and sharing.

[@rogercamp6071]

Now you're speaking my language, my uncle was an International dealer from the fifties up until August of 1969,my dad bought a brand new '68 1100 pickup from him and I myself had a couple of Internationals myself, one was my uncle's last truck,a '73 1110 and the other a '71 1210 four wheel drive ex fire department truck, they both had 345 engines in them.

[@TJ-qz6hr]

Always check the starter for being loose, most people don’t have the correct tools to tighten the starter correctly. I’ve found many loose starters that damage the flex plate and most of the time you can just take a file and knock the burrs off the teeth from a loose starter.

[@mitchellcrowe8545]

Ah International time....very nice. Wondering when we were going to see this video. Great job getting it going!! As always awesome video and much love from Pickens buddy!

[@kennethsouthard6042]

I remember a guy that bought one of these IH trucks back in 84. It needed a brake job and parts were not available any more then. I believe that they actually had to modify Chevy brakes to fit the truck.

[@kwqd54]

Looking forward to seeing this truck get put in good order. Nice truck.

[@mikegrandinette6253]

I like videos where you work on a vehicle that you are keeping, I get sad when flipping time comes, but I understand that’s how you pay the bills, looking forward to seeing more of this boxy dinosaur!

[@Shane-Singleton]

That 345 runs like a sewing machine. Nice and quiet. May need some new valve seals though. not too hard to do if you've got the right tools. Looks like she puffs a little smoke on startup. As long as you ran it before the transmission test all the mystery oil that may have been left should have burnt off after the first minute or so of running it. VERY cool straight old truck. May want to toss some actual coolant in it, though as winter is almost on top of us.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

In a perfect world, I'd win that swapped Intl. Scout, & trade you for the old school pickup - I've owned MoPars, GM, even a handful of Fords (Mistakes exc. for the '70 Van), so a real International would be fun. Guess I'll have to love it from afar. I hope you go for the home rebuild on the trans - if the case isn't porous or otherwise damaged, a kit should make it right as rain. Then you could take a look at the brakes - I think the RF one either drags or locks up before the other 3.
