ABANDONED 1946 international gets new lights / bodywork after 50 YEARS sitting. 

Love these guys, no gloves, no eye protection and when Pa was using the torch with Jr face like 15 inches away that was priceless

Back in the '40's, trucks were not required to have two taillights. Only the 'Deluxe' version had two. It wasn't until 1961 that the Feds mandated two taillights standard on trucks.

I honestly love this more than any of the car shows/ parts advertisements on television. I think y’all should have a show where you guys and a few other RU-vid people get old cars, trucks and equipment back to life.

Totally impressed with the grille straightening.. I thought for sure the grille would rip out at the point where the chain was looped through... But boy that truck was made with real heavy gauge steel and it just came out beautifully.... !! really enjoying this process...

It's coming together, love that.

One of my favorite car/truck shows on RU-vid. Father and son working together makes it extra cool

Just found you guys yesterday. You two are very talented guys!!!! I love old truck's and you guys have definitely Resurrected that truck from the grave. You make it look easy. I would love to see some more old vehicles brought back to life by you two. They don't make truck's like that anymore. Thank you guys!!!!

I am in the UK but I just love watching you guys over the pond bringing that great old truck back to life. I just love flattop motors . Over here we have nothing like that . Huge respect to you for what you do .

@1:34- Six volt or a twelve volt generator, What I would do is install an alternator. Alternators have an internal voltage regulator.

Boy am I glad I ran across your channel, loving the content so far! Your philosophy of only replacing parts if necessary is absolutely awesome and is something that seems to be missing from a lot of automotive based channels these days. Kudos on getting that old girl on the road after so long, the fact that the engine wasn't locked up is mind boggling. The grille being straightened reminded me very much of the scene in Christine where she "fixes" herself lol.

You and your Dad have worked some real magic. Love to see this old iron come back to life. It's amazing that the body was still so strong!

I love that you and your Dad work together ion these projects

i will never get my own work done, i get too sucked into these great videos. fantastic stuff bringing these truck back to life.

I just seen Coldwarmotors do this same thing but with wood and hammer and dollie. Y’all are doing a great job.

I'm absolutely loving these videos 👍🏻me and my dad do the same sort of restoring over here in the uk but on old British motorcycles. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the next video.

I like the way you did your wiring from scratch. I have done it that way too. A bit of work, but rewarding.

Its coming along thank you for all the great content good luck on that door.

I love the grill in this truck. I like the body work too. You not making a show truck.... your fixing a farm truck. This is awesome...I'd drive it everywhere.

Terrific video !! That drivers side door could even be in the weeds on the property where you got the truck. IHC made tons of those trucks so you may not have a hard time scoring a replacement. Same goes for the tailgate so keep your eyes open. Your patience is paying huge dividends on this project---keep going.

..man.. I can't believe how good you did with that passinger side fender the way that metal was crumpled and stretched.

I had a 1947 International basically identical to this one, way back in 1976. I drove it from Pullman, Washington (home of WSU) where I went to school back home to Bremerton, Washington in June of 1976. Ran flawlessly the whole trip. I used a quart of oil and held a steady 45 to 50 on the trip. I sold it about 6 months later. I sure wish I had it back now.

That Is A great Job Keep It Up

I have been watching and enjoying. Well done!

I have a fondness for these old rigs. A desire to bring them back and save them from being turned into paperclips and #10 cans. My most recent is a 65 Dart with a roached motor that was parked in a field circa 1994. I sourced a 225 in marginally better condition than the existing 170 but simply have no time. Someday.

you and your DAD are doing a realy good job i like dont be hard on yourself have fun do it your way ohio

Great to see an update,she's a lovely old girl.Look forward to seeing more on it soon🤙

Just what this truck needed! Once again I think she'd make a good around-town rig, even a good parts-run rig. I'm really impressed with how well the dent pulling went. Love this truck, keep it up!

Thanks for the video. It takes me back to my youth in the 50's and early 60's when I learnt to drive the old Chevrolets and other old vehicles. I remember well the starter button and the dimmer switch on the floor. The brakes and clutch pedals were all mechanical, no hydraulics then in those old cars from the 1920's. Keep up the good work.

This is a really beautiful looking truck you have here. Time to restore, prime her down and paint her a nice color.

If that truck could talk, wonder what stories it could tell. Looks good!

Amazing! You two work good together, Father and Son with a common interest is wonderful!

Love the progress!

starting to look great love it

I love this truck, it's coming out great. Congratulations from Argentina.

Love the video guys. Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🍻

Excellent. Thank you. I now understand much better what is possible with bodywork.

The ultimate father-son business! You guys are great!

Like the "ruff" look of your truck and all the work you put in it so far...

I am fond of old trucks, and enjoyed watching what you and your father did to this old International. Awesome👍👌

Totally brilliant, loved what's been done to this old girl! Swear you'd be hard pressed for a modern car to do the same! The body shell would have rotted along with the sub frames!!!!😄😄😄

You are a brilliant TEAM - expecting more videos in future. Thank you for these videos. Greetings from Germany.

Great video, love seeing these old vehicles brought back from the dead.

Always turn the radiator upside down and flush from the bottom down to the top, all the crud goes in the top with the flow of water👍

Love what you guys are doing like the way you use what you have on hand like you say if it’s not broke don’t fix it can’t wait for your next update and hope you do videos on your carport/garage you and your dad stay safe Greetings from California

I love that you guys have brought the truck back to life.

You seriously need to install a fine mesh screen in the return line for the radiator... it'll capture all of the crap coming out of the block and keep it from getting into your brand new radiator. Yes, you'll have to check it frequently until the block stops giving up particulates of dirt but it'll be worth it. You can also install a translucent section of hard plastic tubing where the screen is or incorporate the screen into it so that you can just visually check the screen without having to pull the hose. There are various places you can purchase screen, the most common materials to use are brass or stainless because they don't rust. In the past, I've seen some guys just use clear vinyl tubing that they bought by the foot from Home Depot and installed a screen into that. No, they didn't leave it permanently installed - it was temporary and left in for around 50-100 miles at which point in time the block had flushed out about as much crap as it was going to get flushed out of it. If you really want to get your block cleaned out and disassembly with hot tanking is not an option, you can fill it with things like Evapo-rust, a weak acid solution (NOT recommended by me!) or things like vinegar. Obviously using Evapo-rust would be the most expensive way to go because it costs a certain amount of 💵 per gallon. Vinegar in comparison is fairly cheap but it's much less effective and takes a lot longer to work. If I were in your shoes, I would make sure my water pump was up to snuff and then just use the screen method. Unless you disassemble and hot tank the block, the truth is you're never going to get it completely cleaned out. In the meantime, once satisfied that my block had given up the gunk it was going to spit out over the course of 50-100 miles, I would install distilled water and a high quality antifreeze with corrosion protection and just run with it. One last important thing to do would be to install a quality temperature gauge & thermocouple so that you can keep an eye on the actual coolant temp under normal operating conditions. It isn't uncommon to find that a very old engine just simply runs hot or overheats because it has too much crap in it. It won't run cooler until a lot of that crap is cleaned out one way or the other. Best wishes! 🥵👎🏻🥶👍🏻 - Max Giganteum

Looking forward to the update on the 46 International. Can't wait to see it complete

I wish i had that bond with my father, you guys is living the dream. Watched alot of your videos the past weeks, amasing! Cheers from Norway🤘

WOW that grill trick worked great. They originally did not have two stop lights on the back, but somewhere in the center of the vechicle.

The video quality is improved far better than the first episodes.Love to see more video of it.

Enjoy watching you guys revive an old truck like that. I watch other revival channels but when it truly looks to far gone and you get it going is really great. Keep working on it until you get it to a comfortable driveable condition, interior and bed...great work, keep it goin!

The truck is really looking good! You have done a great job, you and your dad work well together!

Coming out fantastic Travis! You and your dad make an awesome team!!!!

You and your dad are doing an awesome job on this truck I really like how you've done this I will leave those hubcaps on the truck is not perfect and neither are the hubcaps it just adds to the character of that truck can't wait to see more updates on it keep up the good work

Love this Truck Resto Video of this old Truck 🛻 Keep on Truckin.

Like the part when Dad says to dump the rusty water out of the rad and you start dumping it right next to the truck and he goes not where were working and you laugh and say oh yea, thinking that is kinda dumb. Always fun working with Dad.

Love what your doing with the truck. I’m excited to see the progress

amazing, keep up the work travis. Love your passion for cars.

Yes, thanks for another update

It’s crazy how that steel held up you try that on a modern car it wouldn’t be so able it’s neat to see this come back to life

Keep working on the " Spa Day" for this aging beauty. Looks great ! Cab floor,, Seat, slap some wood in the bed and you've got a real beauty ! Bravo !

That was some pretty impressive metalwork. I kept expecting that grill to fly out... A project well worth the effort. (The world has quite enough squarebodies, imho)...

Awesome job, you guys have brought this truck back to life!

Thank you , thank you , thank you for continuing the cool restoration! - please lose the hub caps! - dents and rust are COOL! - videos are soooo great! - can’t wait to see how the door situation turns out! - seats PLEASE! - take your time! I’m riveted! - can’t wait to see the 2023 tour in this beast!

Your work on this 46 International is so much fun to watch. I had one same year back in the 50's , fond memories. Anyway, the exhaust note on yours sounds so good I hope you never change it. Thank you for a wonderful video.

Definite yes to hubcaps! 'Right amount of sweat on it' is a great phrase. Like what you guys are doing. Hope to see a lot more of this truck.

Awesome truck! I can't wait to see what she looks like when you get done with her!

Love seeing you bring the old truck back. Looking forward to seeing more.

Coming along very nice!

You and your dad are making great progress, keep it up! I'm still surprised at how well the grill fix worked

Thank you for sharing 🙏! I hope you know how Blessed you are for having a Dad that you can work and learn from. You my man are doing a wonderful job 🙏.❤ I worked my whole life collecting tools for doing these kinds of jobs and construction but I don't know anyone who would appreciate these tools that I could leave them with. I hope the Lord brings some one in my life that I can share with. God Bless 🙏♥️

It is SO cool that you are saving this old beauty!

great videos of this truck slowly coming back to life, really enjoying them 👍

Beautiful work. Can't wait to see it completed with new paint as well. Great job, fellas.

I wish you could weld the holes that are next to the headlight. But other than that it looks soooo much better man. Love that. Please keep this series going. 🥹😁

Waiting ...thanks for update...such a debilitated truck and now it looks muscle truck. Can imagine the satisfaction on its working ....and the sound wow it reverberates to past glory. Nice idling sound ...amazing.

You and your dad did a pretty good job on the body work and electrical. When you pulled the front end out,it sure did make the truck 🚛 look a whole lot better. Good to see that you converted it to 12 volt system. Easier to get parts for. Let's see more of this truck!

Like what you've done so far to get this old truck back to running and on the road. One thing I would suggest is to fabricate (if none are available) new mounting brackets and put the taillights back where they were. It just doesn't look right with them mounted so high up plus they are vulnerable to being hit by whatever might be in the bed of the truck.

Loving the update' good job🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪🇰🇪

Great stuff guys I like videos of classic vehicles,keep it up!

I really like ya'lls videos. Plus you guys work so well together.

Awesome video! So cool to see you guys bringing this ol truck back to life! Can’t wait for the next video update!

Thanks for posting luv old cars be safe

The International truck is looking real good. Good job

Really digging this restoration. Awesome job!!

can't wait to see some more of this bad boy

Nice job,looking forward to seeing more videos….

panel beaters inc. that laminate glass was pretty classy. I think shatterproof glass, not laminate, was the norm in Australian even in 1970s

This is a great project! Love the body work and lights so far. I have a ‘46 & I love every inch of it. Converted the whole truck to 12 volt & got the original parking lights working which also function as turn signals. I have some ugly trailer lights for tails right now, but will installing a pair of hot Rod truck lights soon. Going to use your bodywork as inspiration for me to fix the right front fender on my truck. Thanks for the great video.

Love this... I have a 63 Scout 80 that is m(mostly) restored. Going around town is awesome when young and old (Kids) think that it's cool

Nice truck... please make sure there is anti freeze to avoid cracking the block.

Your Doing It;The’46 International is looking great,waiting for your next video on the’46! Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️

Well done very enjoyable.

its great watching laurel and hardy i thought they were dead do not give up youre day job

I predict she's gonna end up Somewhere in between Farmer Brown's old beater And a pampered trailer queen *** You guys are doing a fantastic job on this one. A lot of people would have crushed it without a second thought. It makes my heart skip a beat and do a back flip when people who care go to work on something like this. Now that she's got some of her shape back, you can see that she's got some lines. You have to be able to look at something like this with the right kind of eyes to see it for what it truly is, a thing of great beauty, and a piece of history. My hat is off to you. Your efforts are extraordinary. If a guy was looking to develop old school bodywork techniques, he couldn't find a better specimen than this to practice on. Hammer and dolly work, heating and shrinking, stretching, and maybe some lead work could all be learned here. I'd guess that the days of using her for a beater are probably past. If she was mine, I'd say her really hard working days are over. She's earned the right to some light duty and and easier life than she's had in the past. What a fine piece of iron. Definitely first rate job, gentlemen. CHEERS!!!

man i wish you were my neighbours, love watching what you do. all the way from London England

Love that truck Rusty Gold 😁😁😁😁👍👍💟

I love the 60's hobcaps...

This is so cool u working on the truck with your dad = and documenting

I love that deep growl sound it makes
