The man said it’s getting cold…..so I’m just gonna cut about all my hair off to remain warm😂. Enjoy your channel. Also appreciate the fact that you like the cool stuff that most people don’t see the beauty of. Also love the witty humor and great clips you include in your content. Keep up the good work!
I died laughing when you dunked the whole carburetor into the carb dip without taking it apart first. I love the smell of Berryman's, it smells "industrial", it was the first odor I smelled at my gas station when I opened up in the morning back in the day. The close up of the rotten muffler was interesting, is that the remains of a Thrush glass pack? Your "rust belt" International is truly unique, definitely worth saving. You my friend are a born entertainer, thanks for the video!
Nothing shows commitment more than working in this sht weather, cold miserable rain, and operating a camera by yourself. That dedication won't go unnoticed makes for entertainment for couch mechanics. Good thing I'm doing a timing chain so I'm not at the moment. Maybe pretty soon 😂😂😂
nice video! Love seeing that smile when it starts up haha. can’t wait to see what new projects are in line for the new year…hopefully finish the skid steer?
Man that thing fired right off and no smoke from exhaust, win win on that one. Looking forward to seeing more on this project. There is a RU-vid channel 406 garage that does exclusively international trucks he may be a source for parts.
westport wa.state here sir. had one 1966 345 short bed in college. what a beast we had a harvester repair shop in town. lightened the distributor springs. one ton possi. and granny 4 speed. looked for a 392. think that is right. i called it the spotted dog.. was a county rig. two tanks. and i will have you know it was the high dollar one. " a m radio" told you, high dollar. now on to your show.
Great progress, Mick! From a totally locked-up rear at the start, the 'is the engine seized?' middle to idling pretty well at the end. It's been a great first year for the channel and we're looking forward to what 2024 will bring. Happy New Year to you and yours!
The spark to the #1 cylinder sure looked erratic when the engine was running. I'd bet that isn't helping things. Good video and I hope you get that machine back on the road.
No no...that's an International engine. Not an AMC. There should be a flat pad on the front of the block under the front exhaust manifold outlet. The pad should face out toward the passenger side. On there should be the engine family, cubic inch displacement and serial number. SD= Silver Diamond BD= Black Diamond BG= Blue-Gray Diamond. All of International's engines were named or coded. Let us know what you find.
To clarify, American Motors and International Harvester are two distinct companies. They did share an engine at one point but International(now Navistar) built trucks and AMC was what was left of Nash, Frazer, Packard, Studebaker and Hudson.
Not quite. Nash-Kelvinator acquired Hudson to form AMC in spring 1954. Later that year Packard acquired Studebaker to form the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
Looks like full floater axles if it was the diff it would roll with the axles removed.. hard taps in the brake drum with a ball peen Hammer works well ..
where did you find out hat the engine was made by AMC? I always suspected they made the engines for IHC trucks. Especially the IH v8 engines. The engine in your truck should be a silver diamond or black diamond
If I remember the story that have been told to me that AMC or the international corn binder is the same people they made tractors and other things you should be able to find parts for this vehicle everywhere they don't have to be specifically for this vehicle as long as they're made to fit GM. The international part is kind of a giveaway their parts for the truck even wheel cylinders they're everywhere anything that will fit. I really enjoy your videos and all I'm doing I'm just putting this out there to try and help.
