I'm by no means a gearhead but I love watching your videos. Fascinating watching you bring these old machines back to life. You're always good for a laugh too.

[@AntiTrustNJ]

Do doubt! his videos are the best!!

[@benjamincresswell3713]

That "good ole boy" southern accent doesn't hurt either @@AntiTrustNJ

[@robertgould9641]

Same here. I really have no background in working on cars at all, I only know the basics that most people know. One thing I can see is the older vehicles are probably a lot easier for a mechanic to work on, so much more room and less crap to fix.

[@dawsonblanchard5832]

Let the gears turn!

[@SKANK_HUNT49]

Its just fuel, spark, and compression. He's making it run. Not bringing it back to life.

[@heavy_chevy.0194]

You are the most patient mechanic I’ve seen. Never heard a foul word or real anger while you’re working on your projects. Well done. I like your videos a lot.

[@Poobys]

You just made me realize that about this guy. Maybe the most impressive thing about him on top of his soft skills and common sense

[@waynebowman2315]

I can only imagine what it was like living back when those beautiful trucks were new, great video sir

[@JeffKopis]

No cell phones. No computers. No microwaves, KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. No free porn. No seat belts. No thanks! 🤣

[@JeffKopis]

But seriously, we don't appreciate new things, until they become old things. That said, nobody is gonna be praising a 2023 Prius 50 years from now.

[@SuperchiefApache]

@@JeffKopismaybe they’ll praise the Prius for being good for making razor blades? 😂😂

[@SanjanaRanasingha]

I always think like this

[@143DREWID]

"We" is limited to those who do not. Being raised like it was the 1800s I appreciate common amenities the majority consider their "rights". They are not and will soon be beyond financial or available viability for the "We". "History does not repeat itself, it rhymes" - Mark Twain I will spectate and be amused.@@JeffKopis

[@willpilkington2679]

I love the way you get these old vehicles running. Not to hint at my age but these were very popular trucks for farming when I was a young man.

[@texaswoc3461]

Always fun watching you get these old cars and trucks running again.

[@user-ym5pf2gy2o]

Молодец,у меня тоже есть трак газ 63 ,1963г на ходу.Когда смотрю твои видео многое похоже конструктивно.Удачи тебе!!!

[@RusThompson]

You are pretty damn amazing. Out of all the videos I have seen of yours only a couple wouldn't start. No playing up to viewers, just come on and start working and getting these old cars and trucks going. Thank you sir! I appreciate you

[@jeffbville1]

When you say "it leaks like a screen door", I think to myself, if you don't put out videos more often fixing old trucks, you could try stand up comedy. Beyond the humor you really present a lot of patience, determination, and skill. I watch your videos because I learn things. Thanks for doing what you do. You can turn a very old truck into a treasure.

[@shonitaylor5751]

I used to drive one of them when I was a kid it could do 70 Mph easily. I love watching your videos. I had a tight motor once and I ended up using 36 volts on to a 6 volt starter and then it fired up .

[@CaptainOverwatch]

So cool to see you bring those wonderful trucks back to life. I love the sound the engines make. You are a remarkable and skilled mechanic. Thank you 🙏

[@tehdudester]

You've got my subscription. It's incredible to see these old works of art revived to life. You really know your way around them too.

[@kennethsonier1766]

You take some remarkably crusty old vehicles and actually make them run, amazingly. keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@therealmcoy]

Back when I was a kid in the early 80’s over here in Mississippi, I had to help my Daddy haul pulp wood a lot. Daddy would go out and find old international about like this one, get her going, work the dog out of her, and started over with another. Watching these videos take me back to my childhood.

[@garyclark6281]

My Dad drove a 49' up the Alcan Hwy in 1959 pulling a 35-foot Detroiter house trailer. It never missed a beat. My mom followed behind with us kids in a 58' Chev station wagon.

[@swhod2190]

DANG! I used to run around in one of these back in the early '70's. Great old tank! Wish I had her now...original paint and all.

[@kenlawhon-vf7bt]

Many years ago I was trying to adjust the timing on a 49 flathead. Had a 80 year old neighbor, was watching, and he asked for a glass of water, I thought he was thirsty, he said now put the glass of water on top of the breather. He said now rotate the distributor until the water was level is not wavy. That was amazing. Keep up the restorations.

[@Trenton-om9qs]

Its always nice to see you bring these old vehicles back to life

[@mcvet57103]

That is one cool truck. It has some real potential as a restored show truck.

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Was that your special elixir of ATF and ACETONE? Wow! That was nothing short of remarkable. Thank you for showing your simplified steps to getting it to fire up. I really liked the part where you heat the sparkplugs up and douse them with penetrating ole. The cooling action sucks the oil down along the threads. I watched a spring shop do that to U-Bolts and Nuts and they reused them a lot of times. I'd like to add 2 things if I may: 1). My first thing to try is use about a 3' long prybar with a nice flat end and pry between the bellhousing and the starter ring gear teeth. I'm not too sure how to calculate the mechanical advantage, but it's way way more than going on the front dampener bolt or driveshaft. 2). If I can get it to turn over 2 whole revolutions, I don't bother with compression testing, carb or anything else, I gear up for spark and use starting fluid to give it a try. Most of the time if even 1 cylinder "helps" it will eventually speed up the cranking and go on up to several hundred rpms and from there light off. I hold it to only a few thousand rpms until it heats up the whole engine. Then shut off and cool down. After a couple heat cycles I usually have almost all the cylinders helping out. That's just my way of making the initial determination of conditions. If I don't hear rods knocking or see blow'd head gaskets, I consider the next level of investigation. Nice video Jennings. tnx ben/ michigan

[@fortvne9268]

After watching several of these I am convinced of two things. Number 1, the mechanical prowess of Mr. Jennings is unmatched, and Number 2, Mr. Jennings is immortal.

[@PatrickBaptist]

I wouldn't call him a "god", he is fun to watch but I wouldn't worship him, worship God only. You really need to meet the Lord Jesus Christ, these idols will shaft you everytime sir.

[@robleary3353]

Love it!. Old school mechanics!... Not a laptop in sight!. 🤣 Really enjoy seeing old bits of kit bought back to life!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂

[@redwire2364]

I have had many of attempted pranks where they show some scary face in the middle of a quite video and I never flinched. You broke that motor free and I ducked and almost filled my pants! 😮 I have done that several times myself and I still can’t contain my reaction of both the joy of the engine turning and the horror of all of the stuff shooting out of the cylinders. Thanks for the great content.❤

[@LostShipMate]

Great stuff, glad to see your back to regular uploads.

[@bernielowe3709]

Another great example of your expertise and skill. An absolute pleasure to watch you working 😊

[@rickwest2539]

Awesome…great to see you bring them back to life after all those years.

[@needsaride15126]

KB-5. We had one on my aunts farm. My cousins had an International dealership. KB-2's were good trucks too.

[@ThomasThomas-wn3km]

I really like the front end on the ole girl. Good lookin old truck.

[@TheJohndeere212]

I love watching you getting the old trucks running.

[@williamhitzke]

Your videos bring me great joy.

[@Barbarra63297]

I worked with a woman who was the 1st female OTR truck driver and she drove an IH and said it was the best truck she ever drove, they really don't make 'em like they used to!

[@dirtyberniesgarage1194]

Your vids are fantastic!! I love watching you breathe new life into these

[@appalachiansam8280]

Running and driving under its own power! Strong work sir. I enjoy your videos and admire your skills and patience.

[@brandonhuber7490]

I love watching these videos. Gives me inspiration every time I gotta fix up my '04 mustang.

Nice one, the way you overstate things has me in fits at times, don`t ever change.

[@sunnyormsby8402]

You are amazing! Thanks for the adventure.😄

[@stevebarnette]

Amazing work, just so awesome. Cool, old truck. Love your channel. 🤘🏻

[@samstrawn3157]

I always love to see when you have a video come out because yours are the true will it run sitting over 50 years and one back to life that's real !!!!!! Thanks brother

[@stevearroyo9076]

I have a 1949 International KB2. I purchased it restored and was always curious of what it might have looked like prior to it's restoration. I think your example is probably pretty close. Now I've never owned a international before so to watch these video's helps me if I was ever to have run-ability issues with mine. So, thank you for that! Also, you don't see a bunch of these trucks around and they are not super popular so when I see a video of one I watch it. You never know what you might learn about these ol'girls. Keep the video's coming.. I thoroughly enjoy them.!

[@ptrd4111]

53 yrs and shes still beautiful

[@davis7959]

Another fabulous/entertaining video. I have a theory..... You had a relative that owned a wrecking yard. When you were 12, 13, 14 you would spend your Saturdays in that yard equipped with a battery, can of starting fluid and a jug of gasoline. As far as conveyance a picture you with a little red wagon or maybe a golf cart. It was your joy, pleasure, entertainment to see which car or truck you could get running again. I would have loved that. Am I remotely close?

[@fredphuckpuss801]

Professor Marvel amazing us once again.

[@Klarcrowe]

A man who came to start a truck that had been almost wrecked for many years. Thats insane.

[@matthewlawson5350]

That's the best one I've seen so far. Love good old international.

[@henryf.ky.3415]

Keep up the good work! Fun to watch. 👷🏼‍♂️👍🏼

[@davida.p.9911]

"The dirt dauber performance package" 😂😂😂 .......That must be a dealer installed option; if you let 'em sit on the lot long enough. Good job getting the old girl running again!

[@fordfairlane662dr]

Really a cool looking old truck IMO

[@lynnh7694]

Awesome station, keep them coming 👍

[@mcfuckery1305]

Seeing your videos makes me want to revive a old 48 ford F3 that is in the middle of the woods where I live

[@Framo60]

That must have been an attractive truck in its prime, judging by the body colour of the firewall and the engine colour - maybe nothing special by the design standards of 1949 when most things looked good and worked well, but still a very nice execution of the one ton truck theme.

[@EJBert]

Good as new and fun to watch!

[@matthrivnak6572]

Those old flatheads always sound so good!

[@daviddamico4288]

Nice work getting it running again

[@danielpost3568]

I love them old trucks, I had a 2 1/2 ton 49 for , solid no rust , ran like a sewing machine

[@user-ft8wr6le8d]

Howdyyawl from the land down under. Looks like a nice old faithful. Someone's pride & joy in days gone. Be a nice project to get back on the road. Always like your video's, keepemcomin. 😊
