I love that dump truck

[@nephrium]

Surprised you didn't do a Premiere for this video. Was it because it's a part 2?

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

Greate vid man keep it up

[@michaelsclark]

Put black pepper in the radiator it will temporarily fix the leak

Hey Kevin thanks for shoutout Carbs Unlimited is my family’s business. Glad we were able to help.

[@Aciecarter238]

I order all my carb parts for my 66 scout from carbs unlimited

[@JunkyardDigs]

Thats awesome to see you guys watch the channel!

[@FriendlyRider88]

I’ve placed quiet a few orders myself from carbs unlimited it’s nice to meet you.

[@dubdaze68]

I love Internationals like this. Reminds me of my first school bus when I was a kid. Also, our driver probably wished he had the dump feature.

[@rebelfluff17]

Thank god Mook finally found an open daycare for Kevin. You can hear how much fun he's having with the other kids already. 😁

[@MrPanzerDragoon]

LMAO!

[@adammealey6721]

For a second I thought the little girl was letting us know Kevin's been hiding a pony tail from us this whole time. 😂😂😂😂😭😂😂😂😂

[@grimsley9989]

It’s a secret he hoped to take to the grave

[@coolsongs1468]

When she found out how old the truck is the “holy crap” was super adorable.

[@grimsley9989]

Oh my god, I fucking lost it when you said "Help me Jesus", and then the camera rolled back. That was amazing.

[@Avetho]

Yeah lol, he goes "help me Jesus" and psyches himself up before slamming the shifter into gear like a total chad, just gets divine boss mode and manages to wrangle the gearbox XD

[@huntersweat6193]

Ive rewinded it twice and then went to the comments to find a comment about that

[@barericdondareyrion5998]

The term you're looking for, the opposite of Cab Over Engine, is Conventional. That's probably buried in one of your back files under the title of 'Information that doesn't actually matter unless I'm looking for certain parts'.

[@Mr_Bedlam215]

We've all got one of those in our heads lol

[@acynder1]

It depends on the contest, of course, in europe it would be conventional and with nose or "american".

We love the new assistant: Junkyard Mookette.

Great video! I loved when the kid showed up and wanted to help you. You may have inspired that kid to be a mechanic. You do amazing work with these old engines. Great work!

[@J_o_B_is_back]

Love how the kid calls you almost bald🤣

[@richardcline1337]

I used to drive one of those Loadstars back in the late 60's. LOVED that truck and they still remain my favorite.

[@daviestewart2510]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I am totally amazed at how you can get these motors running where they sit with just a spanner and a screwdriver and a shit load of optimism is just awesome, I'm glad to be a subscriber and look forward to seeing more from your channel. Best wishes to you from Scotland :)

I have that same truck (almost) 1955 GMC 350 with a Hydramatic that was parked 30 years. Got it running in a few hours.

When is there going to be an update on it randy??

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

@@georgehargreaves2110 i’ll be honest with you I don’t go down to my shop very often and I totally forgot I even owned that thing but I plan to get back to work on it soon.

[@sureshkumarc.k6534]

Don't need one here Randy,he already has one

[@jasonaustin3270]

That Gmc is nothing much like an international. Lol.

[@mrlouisvashi]

Noone cares

[@Str8sixfan]

I'm not a regular around here, but I am obsessed with the potential of what grain trucks can be for project vehicles! Very cool. Looks like I need to go catch the other

[@DarkFlamage]

Ya got your hand on the opposite petals when talking about the brake & clutch systems. Hint: (Brake is closest to the gas pedal) 👍

[@Quacks0]

Yeah, I noticed that, too. He was probably thinking about his cute girlfriend Mook at the time, and it distracted him :) :P :D

[@Shadetreehack57]

This is a very similar truck to what my grandpa drove on his farm. I would love to buy it but ya know, I'm broke and live more then a thousand miles from you. I hope they go to a good home.

[@michaelsclark]

Same here he had a 55 Chevy and a 56 Ford. Vaguely remember it because I couldn't have been more than 9 or 10 last time I saw it

[@michaelhartzell9758]

I purchased my 67 grain when I was scrapping. Didn't have the parking brake on the floor, but drove great ( you get used to the steering real quick trying to maneuver around city streets). 1000 bucks is a great price, and a wonderful running truck

[@zeth15943]

There's 3 people who tells the truth (1) kids (2) mad women (3) drunk people 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ramcharger85]

As mentioned in the previous video. My uncle had an International CO. He also had two conventional Loadstars as will. He was a big fan of International trucks and once he took over the family farm from his brother, he began switching out the trucks. His brother got married and helped run his wife's family farm. 😊❤

[@toddburkard]

A quick hydraulic clutch blead you can do from the master is fill with fluid, but a hand vacuum pump hose down with a tapered end into the hole in the bottom and pull a vacuum. When you remove the tip it will suck the fluid down into the evacuated lines and good to go. Sometimes takes twice but works. I have yet to try it on the brakes but may work on some of these old crusty systems as well.

[@tomvetter6928]

You have to love the words from a child. So inquisitively innocent.

[@TheFurriestOne]

Looks like the muffler is almost rotted in half (well, 1/4 and 3/4) but it still does a decent job! Runs pretty dang nice! Good investment at 1K, for somebody with a love of old rigs and need of a dump-truck.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I just heard of an old IH truck like this getting shredded, so it's very refreshing to see one being brought back to life.

[@sgttombailes3380]

We at one time had an old Load Star on the hay farm. It WAS Bullet Proof ! One of the BEST Trucks on the Farm.

[@rogjackson]

Internationals are solid.

[@MD-lm7fj]

That hair conversation was the perfect segway to cut to a KEEPS promo!

[@NVzla]

I remember seeing these with a slick dual exhaust right out the grilles. Lots of grains grown out here.

[@Onewheelordeal]

The old "you only need these 3 things" wisdom I guess is good for someone who knows nothing, but the exact quantities and timing are what you end up having to work

[@morgansword]

Kevin, as you already know the points do a ground to the distributor base and sometimes it gets really dirty and whatnot so you take them out and clean where they bolt down. First words in electrical repair is grounds grounds grounds. Something like steel wool to shine both the distributor and points so when they are in, they make a good contact and ground to the distributor. I had a really hard one and used my jumper cables to grab the base of the distributor and back to the ground on the battery as it can't get more grounded than that. It fired right up and when you removed the jumpers it would either die or run so bad it wanted to. You have to have good grounds on points, condenser, and the distributor itself. All the oils and dirty corrosion keep it from running. Its a lot more professional if you just yard them out and get the system to ground well and get a good spark right away.... Kevin, I apologize, I have OCD really bad and just want so bad to help you look your best. I don't know why but the international which like all AMC stuff was peoples parts an pieces cause they were on the chopping block and had to say where and how ever they could. Their grounding system was a f... joke and I would just tap a ground wire right to the side of their distribitors and to a good ground and make sure it was always doing its job. Come spring when we needed those rigs, we through fuel down their throat, and check the grounds good. Once happy they would spin over a max of three turns and be running strong.

[@busbyadventures]

You gotta love the honesty of kids!

[@valjames1203]

Kevin and Mook are natural ad persons. Very believable!!!

[@Camhin1]

So they're natural bullshiters?

[@hughstephenson2957]

[@GOOSEYBRUCEY]

❤️ these videos! Anyone have an old truck in East Tennessee let this poor bastard know!

[@Mihacappy]

I loved when he just casually exlaims "it's a 1964!" while fondling with the points. It's almost as if he is in a cartoon or something

[@danderson9881]

Love the old school oil cap, for the distributor bushings! That should be the small cap Gm-points, previous to the big Honkin cap HEI. BTW them old 4 pin actual HEI module, are small and cheap, and can be wired to late 70 Ford Duraspark. Heatsink the module, hide it if need be. And it lights off almost as good as MSD. Providing you have good wiring, wires, cap, rotor and plugs. Used the GM module with a Ford TFI coil for years on Propane, and LPG is tougher to light off. All 12V-no resistor needed.

[@elliothenning8791]

man it runs nice, it has MOOK written all over it, you should buy it and give it to her, I could see her driving it, those old grain trucks are truly a hecker's truck

[@stephensaasen8589]

That's actually a million mile odometer and she's already over16k. Still quite low miles. We had a 1966 Loadstar 1600 on our wheat farm. I loved driving that thing! Wish I lived closer and had the cash. I'd buy that baby.

[@damiangillett1476]

also just a tip to gravity bleed, fill. refit caps. crack bleed nipples then open caps to prevent suction stopping flow. keep filling. Slightly over fill when you feel the air is purged, refit caps to master and then do up bleed valves. if over full remove excess with paper towel, syringe or dip a hose in and seal the top with your thumb, remove it and put over a pan - release thumb and go again

[@ratchetfox8111]

Love these trucks so much, going to have to do a revival on my own one soon, With the added complication of it being in the USA while I'm not.....

[@dieselbronco9247]

On the next episode Kevin finds a dwell meter and learns how to use it! That truck is exactly like the '69 model I had but mine had air brakes and still had it's 4 barrel, a Carter AFB if I remember correctly.

[@LN997-i8x]

Despite this being a '64, I see so many similarities to my 1950 international. For example, that master cylinder is almost identical other than the mounting flange.

[@maddogjodie1891]

I wish people would start using dielectric grease. Every electrical connection throughout the entire vehicle should have dielectric grease. Saves so much on replacing parts that would rust and lose spark and electrical connections after sitting or even normal use. Especially for areas of high humidity

[@leebox9911]

Love to see junk yard moo messing with them I think she wonderful

[@robertpayne2717]

When you mentioned that one had a Ford distributor and the other a GM I remembered that IHC always put a line set sheet in the trucks from the factory. IHC USED different manufactured components on their trucks from Scouts to their heavy commercial highway trucks. They allowed even their competitors to bid for their business.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

They also used Prestolite distributors. You almost had to have the line build sheet to know what parts they came with.

[@rangerup1804]

I've learned to not ever try and move any vehicle by using the starter motor to move it. I also learned to never rev the engine up and forcibly jam the transmission into gear to get the vehicle to move. I also learned to never drive a vehicle with zero brakes. Too bad you were too lazy to fix the clutch and brake problems before f-ing the tranny and starter motor/flywheel gears up.

Now drain the transmission, see how much ground up material it holds. When you snipped that vac hose, I thought it was heading for the carburetor. I had a small screw pop of a carb accelerator pump and land inside the engine, making its way to a cylinder where it smashed into a piston. No harm done.
