Will this 1948 international KB5 dump truck run after sitting abandoned for 52 years Will it run after 30 years Will it run after 50 years Will it run after 80 years Will it run after 81 years Will it run after 75 years 
Great determination in getting seemingly impossible vehicles to run again. That old dump truck needs to be restored and put in a museum, or put back to work on a farm.
@@nitroxylictvuntil ya discovered that the top speed is 40mph, the poor motor is screaming, it can't get out of its own way, the brakes are purely hypothetical, it rides like a shopping cart, and gets 7mpg.
@@nitroxylictvI think the 70s and early 80s trucks are a good balance of daily driver and sheet metal. Currently drive my 83 c10 100 miles a day 5 days a week. Did a complete overhaul on it and on a budget
You never cease to amazing me! Not only do you find neat old trucks, but you usually succeed in getting them to run too! Some day I hope to find a lonely old forgotten beauty and am able to restore it. Great videos, love 'em!!! Thank you for all your hard work and time put into making these videos for us to watch.
Biggest kick out of this video was not just that ole girl moving back & forth but seeing that old cable dump bed working...just amazing what old iron will still do!👍
Most definitely, the junk they make nowadays are near impossible to work on yourself, and are more or less disposable I guess you could say. Heck most times the part along with the labor costs more than what the car is worth. Nothing today but plastic garbage underneath recycled beer cans.
@@dispatch444 thats i believe people should be driving these old vehicles or fully mechanical cars instead of these new efi computers on wheels. you dont need apple car play and a massage chair and you dont need to go 200+ mph to drive a few miles down the road to work. its to go from a to b. i guess people were more humble back then and didnt need much. people these days want a literal living room to drive around in with tv screens and recliners and all kinds of other useless features.
Makes my heart warm to heat an old KB run again. My uncle's Dad had an old hey hauler with straight pipes made from plumbing pipe. Only veh I ever saw that would rap the pipes before it started being pull started. Could hear that thing for five miles! Every body knew when the Redimonty Trk was hauling what ever!
We had a KB6 With a 2spd diff, 5x4, and overhead valves. Great running, easy to Dr as a kid. Stake bed would haul anything! Almost. Impossible to get stuck, pulled everybody else out!
What's amazing to me is that you have like a 97% success rate getting these old crusty work trucks (and cars!!) going. I love it!! Great stuff as per usual.
Great to see you got another piece of history running again. I live in the same area as you and often see old vehicles sittingin fields, barns and sheds that deserve to have a second chance at life. Im glad to know someone is taking the initiative. God bless.
Absolutely awesome!!! She's purring and works great!! Damn I love it! Cannot get enough damn and the lift works??? Forget about it!! Dude you're amazing!! Great great job!!
I enjoy ALL your videos it's like watching MacGyver work on old trucks . The only suggestion I really have is I would like to see some updates. Especially on the 28 GMC !!! Love your channel and keep up the good work.
Really enjoy these videos! I appreciate the time it takes, the skinned knuckles when a wrench slips and rat nest in the face when you pressure wash…😊 Thanks for good solid informative entertainment. 🙌🏻
Been there and it sucks when it happens. After a few choice words go right back to wrenching. That is once you find the wrench you launched into orbit during those choice words.
There will probably be a follow up video on this one and the 38 dodge dump truck just trying to find tires that are not too expensive last truck I put tires on it was about 500 plus each
I really enjoy your videos and always am excited when a new one comes out. I always watch right away. It's impressive to see what you can do with these old vehicles. Thank you for all your hard work and great content!
I love watching these videos, me and my grandpa are currently working on a 1950 Dodge Coronet with a 57 Plymouth Flat 230 Flat six in her, about to swap the tranny from the one she got now to one off a 50' Meadowbrook. Keep on keeping on because these bring me joy.
You are a fantastic guy, I appreciate your optimism and good mood, I guess the old vehicles "feel" that too and they all cooperate with you, they do their best to give you the joy of seeing them wake up from very long, deep sleep...very good videos, thank you. By the way, the old IH trucks are my favourite ones because of their durability, smooth running engines and, of course, their pretty stile. What a design! Greetings to you from Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil.
Just found your channel, love your content. I am a retired mechanic of 47 years. Lately I have had a number of Dodge and Chrysler flathead sixes that I have got running. I am no expert on Dodge flatheads, but a guy who is told me to just leave the oil filter out, they don't filter but a small amount of oil anyway.
She runs great, amazing how these old units can be brought back to life without any rebuild. I’d put tires, brakes and maybe some windows in it and daily drive it
I love the tips as you go along in these ''older'' videos man. Talking about the coil and just sharing what you might've learned. It's good stuff. Greetings from Northern Europe
Another amazing find. MAN, those engines do run well. I am always SO impressed- at how well they start & run .... yet, they're _SO Old_ and Most of those vehicles run with the (mostly) _Original Hardware_ (no major engine rebuild At ALL)
Will Always enjoy your presentations. Love the way you somehow find these vehicles and then to find parts and get them running. Your attitude is great.
The old diamond t is looking awesome good job 👍👍. I really like your videos you work with what you got and always get it running. Jeff Wilson from North Carolina.
Awesome video man keep up the good work. Love your content i keep telling people about your channel a friend of mine shared your channel on Facebook hopefully that’s ok everyone there loved the video.
I'm from Birmingham UK I had no interest in motor vehicle youtube videos until I came across your channel,I can't stop watching them now but I do wish you would put out more content would love to watch more of your work so thanks for getting me hooked on American rebuilds keep up the great work..
