Will It Run After 50 Years?! Abandoned 1946 International Truck | Engine Locked Up Solid | RESTORED

Join in with the Restored Crew as they pick back up on this abandoned 1946 International KB1 truck they recently rescued from the woods. Sitting over 50 years without running, the guys dig in and discover a long list of obstacles they must cross off before they're able to see if there's any life left in her. Will they be able to get this 75-year-old piece of machinery to live again, or was there a reason this thing was parked many years ago?

In early 1946 my 3 Uncles returned home from WW2 to there home near Milwaukee Wisconsin. They went back to work on the farm with my Grandpa along with getting married, raising kids and planning there own lives after the war and the farm. My Uncles were pretty good at poker and together they brought home nearly 2000 dollars from 4 years of poker and sheepshead as they did there part in the war in Europe and the Pacific. They pooled the money and bought Grandpa a new 1946 International pickup and a 1947 International 4 cylinder farm tractor. The pickup was 979.00 dollars and the tractor was about 1450.00 dollars if my memory serves me right. Grandpa kicked in what they were short but the tractor was not delivered until spring of 47. Anyway I learned how to drive at 10 years old in 1957 in that old pickup. As I watched your video memories just flooded my brain. Thanks so much for your efforts getting that old girl going. You did my heart proud. God Bless.

$2000 in 1946 = $28,440 today. Not sure you can even look at a new truck for less than $45,000. Vehicles sure have gone up way too fast over the years. All that emissions crud the EPS insists we pay for.

I remember my dad telling me about his first truck he had in the 60s - a 1940 Ford. His eyes would light up when he would tell me stories about it as a kid. He's gone now so this brought back a lot of memories and I appreciate it. You two are so determined and methodical and it's a joy to watch you resurrect something. So thrilled to see that old truck run. Thank you...

[@spaceghost8995]

Yes great memories. My Dad always talked about his first car, a 1950 Studebaker Champ. He got an employee discount and paid I think $988!

[@hartland749]

This was so much fun to watch! Took me back when my buddies and me did this. Being a land surveyor I was able to see a lot of properties and find a lot of old vehicles lost and forgotten about. Hidden treasures that were restored and brought back to life. It was a great feeling to hear that engine turn over and watch it move down the road the way it had done 50 years or so ago.. Great times for my friends and me, and these videos help to relive those days. Thanks for posting them!!!!

What a memory. Dad had a 1947 . We piled seed corn bags on the front fenders and took them to the corn planter. Was a big deal to drive the truck off road on the farm. I don't ever remember any mechanical issues until after I was married in 1976 and we changed a water pump. Lightning struck close and St Elmo's fire danced all over the engine block. Then the tornado showed up and took part of the barn roof. Unbelievable that Dad sold the truck without asking me if I wanted it!

[@mikemullay5622]

I had an old KB-1 retired Idaho Bell Telephone truck I bought in 1976 while I was a student at WSU. (Washington State University) It was a pretty solid old truck 45 years ago. It was good enough that I drove it across the state from the Idaho border to the Puget Sound without any issues. I used a quart of 30 weight oil on the trip (plus some healthy doses of STP) It had a three speed on the tree. I learned how to double clutch on that truck. It was happiest at about 50 miles an hour.

[@cmleoj]

Incredible. I can’t believe you got it running. The dad is a very patient, diligent fellow. Good job!

[@normenderle550]

Awesome job working hard and getting this one to run, a running project gives that vehicle a much better chance at being saved and cared for further. These old corn binders make for beautiful rods and the fact that few people build them up makes em extra cool in my book.

[@rogermoore5210]

I've heard a couple times listening to you guys mentioning "checking to see which direction things were going" in relation to whether you smack a piston one direction or another. Fellars, the motor is static when turned off, so it does NOT matter what direction it rotates when trying to break it loose. it can turn in both directions when turning it by hand or by hammer. It only matters - direction wise - when it is running. Smacking a piston to loosen in the opposite direction is "was" turning while running is perfectly fine. Brutal, but fine. This is no different than smacking one that was on its way down prior to when it stopped... and then rusted in place. Love the show! Glad you restored yourselves.

I sent this video to a great friend in Boise ID, who happens to be an Old Iron addict and Lord lover just like you folks. He mentioned a tip that makes a lot of sense when trying to get a "stuck" engine to turn over after settin' for so many years. He recommended getting one of the back wheels up off the ground and rocking it back & forth with the trans in gear to pop the engine loose. Taking the plugs out and squirting a generous amount of ATF in each cylinder to let soak while chopping the truck out of the woods would certainly help as well. Give it a try on your next stuck engine rescue and let us know how it went. Stay safe, stay handsome and to the girls, stay pretty . 👍 ✌
