What I love about this truck is not just how cool it looks but the fact that it is actually used as a work vehicle on a daily basis. If this green giant would have a soul, it is undoubtedly a happy soul.

My father owned a 49 KB9. When you widened the fenders I groaned. When you decided to do a tilt hood, I thought who is going to pull that hood open. Having seen the finished product I take all my doubts back. Excellent job. It’s good to see the old work horse becoming a truck better suited to today’s world and back working.

If you like the post war IH KB trucks look up '47 International KB12 part 1&2. Old Don at Gold King mine built this one and is giving it a nice workout. Unfortunately we lost Don a couple years back but his son took over and the truck is still there. Cheers! 👊😎👍

I've got a 55 Dodge C3H. The pick-up cab on a 171" truck is what makes it cool. It's like intimate inside. You sure can tell these vids are a Discovery Channel thing. I find it hard to believe Ian has never heard of GM's Futureliners from the Parade of Progress tours of the 1930s or never heard of a hit & miss engine ...

Ian, the latest video on our channel is on Fort Auto Parts. (located about 60-miles from Tucson raceway) a TON of early (old) cars & trucks. 40s/50s/60s ALL FOR SALE. We highlight a 50s Pontiac with perfect stainless waterfall and dash, herd of great condition Nash Metropolitans and even a 1st gen Mustang. Would love to see what you could do with some of them. TY for more great content.

@tetedur3778 ай бұрын
Those antique engines are called "hit & miss" engines. They "hit," or fire below a determined speed, and "miss" (don't fire) if the speed limit is exceeded. Basically, a way of governing the speed of the engine without an actual governor. They made them in 4-stroke, mainly, but there are 2-strokes as well.

International cabovers in the late 70's and 80's had a hand/ Air operated pump to raise the cabs. If you didn't have air for some reason you could manually raise it with hand pump. It looked similar to the hand pump you were using. You could flip the control switch for up and down and pump in both directions. 😢

There's 2 things I can see becoming a problem later with this. 1. that trailer hitch tubing needs nylon bushings, that's going to get grimed up and rusted and you're never going to get that open in the winter time. 2. I wish they did more video on servicing the engine. This is just way too commercialized. I prefer videos like Diesel Creek and Scrappy Industries instead.

That bus, or bus/pickup looking thing, which I pray to gawd is NOT one of the original and extremely rare GM Futurliners. To the very best of my knowledge, those were all buses. It should be a crime to take an antique like that and do what that person did to it, and I don't give a flying damn how good a job they did. GM literally only made 12 of them; of which, 9 are known to have survived. That's assuming that that is an original, which I highly doubt that it is, but people in general are stupid a*holes. I saw Jesse James of West Coast Choppers and Monster Garage fame literally destroy a one-of-a-kind vehicle, the only known surviving example of that vehicle in the entire world, by chopping it up and turning it into a lawn mower or something. So I don't put anything past anyone. Still, given how rare those things are, it's more than likely a reproduction on a more modern chassis. I hope to hell it is, because as far as I'm concerned, chopping and channeling and all the things we/they did in the old days should be a capital offense - except that's too good for anyone who would do that kind of thing. Sadly.
