Driving a 1949 International KB2

[@Frank-sf1wh]

Thanks for the ride. I have an all original ‘38 D2 that I enjoy driving whenever I get home.

Very cool video. I enjoyed hearing that truck operate. Thanks for taking us on the ride. I am in talks now with a guy selling a '47 KB1. Lighter version than yours, but this one has the 4 speed which was an option back then I'm told. Same inline 6 engine, largely stock like yours (which is what interests me). Safe driving! I hope to "join" you some day here soon.

Awesome video! I want one too. They are fairly easy to work on compared to modern trucks.

Many years ago I had a 1947 KB-1. It had a non-synchro three on the tree. I learned to double clutch in that truck. I got pretty good at it. It was a retired Idaho Bell telephone truck. It had the same engine in it that your truck has. Watching you drive it brings back good memories.

I used to have a red long bed version (Knox all steel bed) with a three speed plus granny gear (compound low) on the floor. I also got pretty good at double clutching which made it lots of fun to drive, especially down-shifting to let engine compression slow you down and save wear on the brakes.

They still used these 3speed top loader trannies way into the 60s in the Scout and column shift Light Trucks!

It's a great looking truck.

A refreshing ride in the forest at almost 40 miles per hour. Next time out I'll buy the gas and the wife will bring a picnic basket.

My 1948 KB2 panel came with a 4 speed.

I'm about to pick up a 48-49. All patina, mostly driving.

[@rg3412]

Use the double clutch technique when downshifting to first

[@naniktrilestari5571]

Do you plan on making any more video about this truck?

I will have to leave that up to the new owner. I sold it this fall.
