I ran my car with one working brake for a year and half and had to park it in gear cause the parking brake cable rotted away, he can brake with the engine bud.

[@natewatt3537]

you. don't need brakes

[@markjohnston2675]

Yea and I love it.

[@Kowyn]

You paid for a running engine and got a free truck, what a score. I've been looking for over a year and a half for exactly that truck you're a lucky man.

Normally I scroll past the “will it start” posts but this old girl deserves some respect.

[@graceschannel2247]

This guys attitude should be a lesson to many, in the respect, that it's all about having fun with these beautiful old trucks, and having a sense of adventure and not taking it to seriously will always serve you well, and as long as you have your health at the end of the day , that's what really matters!

Instead of “on KZbin”. I think you mean “the ole lube tube there”

I ran I 5 and 4 when I was a kid on the farm. You can change ranges on the fly but also just leave it in high unloaded. Only time I used low was backing up to the auger. Used 2 in the field loaded. Direct when loaded on the road. It was a 66 D800 with a 413 industrial. 5 and 4 with a 2 speed axle. Ran it until 2008.

The old timers used to say “if a GM/Detroit 71 series turns over it’ll start.” Thank you for keeping another another one going. They don’t make them like that anymore. I’d love to have one. Sorry I had to upload my comment so many times. Ol’ lube-tube got rid of the edit option so I had to delete and edit it several times. The oat sodas I or may or may not have drank helped me with my editing.

[@F5Tornado44]

Wow! Nice International. Good luck with the brakes. My brother and I purchased a '41 International flat bed, gasoline powered original inline 6 with a vacuum powered hi/low differential gearbox. It's the original motor and it runs great, however, the brakes were completely shot. Could not find brake wheel cylinders or shoes ANYWHERE. Had to piece together components from other brake wheel cylinder rebuild kits, just to restore the originals. Also, had to have the original shoes relined, because replacements were impossible to find. We're still having issues with the brakes and the whole project has been put on hold, for now. Probably will just end up selling it. This would make a great project for a vintage restorer.

[@neil6212]

Nothing like a 2 stroke Detroit! They pretty much will always run if you can get fuel circulating. Pretty much as dependable as an anvil, if you keep the 40 weight in them and coolant. They seem to love "abuse". Run them wide open against the governor (Probably 2400 on the 4-71) and when you shut them down, it seems to say "What? Done already?" Had a lot of experience with buses in the late 70s and the 80s, and the Detroits were the standard for all highway coaches, and a lot of transits. Love the sound!

[@user-gl1gl7pk3s]

yes they are just fine untill they have a runaway condiction , then not so great

[@MrRecall200]

This is the exact truck I want, and your using it for the exact reason I want one. And I mean exact, the paint color, driveline and patina on it. One day all find one like that, just not in Southern Ontario. Sounds like a road trip in a greasy old unknown truck.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

The 5 speed is probably a Fuller TO905, the ID tag is on the left side near the top. 1st, 2nd & 3rd are in the normal place but 4th & 5th are backwards, down for 3rd, over & down for 4th & up for 5th which is an overdrive. The brake booster is a Cardone 51-8091 & are as rare as rocking horse shit! Pull out the drain at the bottom of the vacuum chamber, fluid shouldn't run out. Cool truck, what is it, a KB6?

[@georgeknott7563]

I have a 1947 International KB7 (gas I6/5 speed/2 speed rear). First thing we did was change the gear oil in the tranny and diff and it didn't shift for anything, turns out it needed Steam Oil (600W) and it shifts perfect. Steam oil was a pain to get. That Hydrovac is like a remote power assist slave Cylinder. Your master cylinder is under the front seat, it is a single circuit design, runs one line into the Hydrovac under the passenger seat, then one line comes out and splits to the front and rear axles. I bypassed mine so my master runs the drums directly. If you want to stick with the factory setup they still put Hyrdovac units on forklifts and they are a lot cheaper than getting your hydrovac rebuilt by a shop. I'm putting a duel master cylinder in mine in the stock location. I'm using one out of a 2000ish GMC one ton pickup with a vacumme booster from a chevelle (I think? it was small enough to fit under the floor) and putting a remote reservior on the firewall where I can get to it without pulling the floor boards up. The wheel cylinders are duel bore and they don't make rebuild kits anymore, so you'll have to cobble together springs and seals and hope the castings are OK and don't need sleeves. On mine (KB7 I think yours is bigger) the rear wheel cylinders have the front cylinder bore parallel with the ground and the rear cylinder points down at a 30 degree angle. It's an odd bird. Looking forawrd to watching progress on this

This is so cool - and that you had plans to use it again. What brought me here and to a few other videos was Curbside Classic's recent stories about the Detroit Diesel engines. I never knew a truck this size would have a 4 cylinder, but it seemed common back in the day. I'll estimate around 284 cid? Love the sound of those DD 71 engines. Brings back memories when I was a kid, this truck being made 10 years before I was born.

[@douro20]

Yes, 284ci or 4.6 litres.

[@johngibson3837]

4 times 71 is the capacity mate, it's a Detroit so easy to work out

Yep, I 'did the math', and I know the same applies to other Detroit engines like the 6-71 series.
