So you were up in Lethbridge at George Kirkham's place. That's quite a collection. I never get tired of walking through it. I've shown a few customers there myself (I've worked for Kirkham since I retired as a mechanic in '19). Keep us posted on your progress with this beast. I wish you luck...
The C1 is a gorgeous truck! That green body, with the black fenders...ooh golly, that is purty purty! AND... doing the job right the first time is way, WAY more satisfying than redoing it a few months later because you rushed it the 1st try...this is too cool to screw up!
Caswell epoxy gas tank sealer is the best tank sealer there is due to it being a two part epoxy. Beautiful truck. Can’t wait to watch it’s transformation.
What a great gift to a great guy who really cares about trucks. I hope you will keep us up to date on your progress. I always get excited when one of your videos comes up. Thanks for sharing.
We met George up in Lethbridge when we were driving the Scout 800 down from Alaska. Great guy, incredible collection! I think there is a cab of a very similar year of that truck in a village near Bethel Alaska, where we lived. I’m gonna be up there next week if there’s anything you need, I might go take a look.
@@BareKnuckleBinder I'm going to send you an email with photos I took a few years ago. It's about a 50 mile boat trip from where I'll be staying but if I can finagle a boat ride I'll go down if you see anything you need. It's pretty far gone for sure but I think I do see a driver side door handle.
What a great truck and I can't wait to see the progress, tha wood in the door looks like red oak which was common in the 30s, some used ash but the oak looks better with a clear varnish
Gday, I have a '35 C1 here in Australia, just an fyi..34-35 have cable brakes, 1936 has juice brakes. Great content, especially for us inter guys. Cheers Paul
Great looking old binder sir! Holy cow yeah that would be a bucket lister for me as well! Have I said wow yet! Can’t be many of those left in working order! #savingoldiron
Super jealous!! A free IH!!! I love the looks of the 30’s trucks. I have a `49 kb2. Last year for the triple diamond. I always keep my eyes open for old IH’s. I would love to find a 30’s IH. You’re a lucky man!!!
What an awesome truck!! Can’t wait to see you work on it! Being a ‘31 the original wood was probably American chestnut. Pretty much everything was made from that up till blight wiped the tree out. You can find reclaimed stuff from old barns and homes but it’s spendy! To remake them, especially if it was really contoured, I would suggest finding a cabinet shop with a cnc router machine. They can 3d scan one and duplicate it out of any wood you wanted.
I agree! They’re only original once! Everyone is free to do what they want, obviously. But I feel like they lose almost all the magic when people try to make them what they’re not.
Hi nice C1 you have ,im currently restoring a 1934 C35 I'm in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada Greg I heard you wondering about types of wood to use in the doors ,I was the same when I started out on this journey, I have used maple later I heard that ash is a wood to use , so mine id ash & maple
Still looking for standard rod bearings for my GD214! Found a set of 4-ring piston rings (EGGE performance in Santa Fe Springs, Ca). The lines on this 36 are classic and the wooden cab parts remind me of my 34 Chevy 1/2 ton. Must have been common back in the day. Those may be available for Chevys and MAYBE could be made to work on your 36?!
You should use ash or oak. They are the strongest and most rot-resistant woods. (Teak would be best of all, but you won't find any, and it's a cinch the original truck didn't have it either. Weight shouldn't be a problem, since a stronger, tougher wood will allow you to make thinner, lighter struts.
My old grandpa had one like that 36. Green and black fenders,he traded a shotgun for the pickup but later on he sold it to somebody in chicago when i was a little to young to buy it from him. I would have loved to throw a 304 in one of them and let it scream down the road.
I need a little help with a 62 IH pickup. It’s a 4x4 one ton from what I can tell. I don’t even know what to offer? It has under dash ac! Also a four speed.

Be gentle with my dream truck!!
Always happy to see you post a video. You are one of my favorite tubers.

Thanks, Cliff! I’m trying to keep the videos coming more consistently!

Just heard you say that it was close to your home town! Holy cow! Sometimes the best ones are hiding in plane sight!
Liked and subbed! Loved the video! 🙂

Yeah, that’s one reason I think the title is a little off. From what I understand, a ‘36 should have a steel doors as well! Thanks for watching!
Aren't all your adventures International adventures? I love that right rear fender patch, total farmer repair.
Great looking old binder sir! Holy cow yeah that would be a bucket lister for me as well! Have I said wow yet! Can’t be many of those left in working order! #savingoldiron
I’m still in shock! It’s like having a unicorn walk through the yard!!
You seem to know unicorns well!
@@geoffowler8065 can’t wait for you to come down to Texas and meet all these trucks!

Cool old truck 🛻🛻🛻🛻👍
Good call on the radiator, nice truck.
Love the '36

That's Awesome n that a Nice looking Truck
Been building a 1946 kb Lot of work
Wood framed body’s in the uk used “ash tree wood, “. Durable wood is what you need . Also easy to shape and work.
What an awesome truck!!!❤
That's so cool that you're not going to do like everyone else and chop it up and ruin it. It deserves to be original. Such a beautiful truck.
I agree! They’re only original once! Everyone is free to do what they want, obviously. But I feel like they lose almost all the magic when people try to make them what they’re not.
Wow! What a nice pickup! Looking forward to seeing you bring it back to life
I would leave the riveted repair on the right rear fender. Stuff you don’t see anymore
Awesome. Thanks for the video.
Hi nice C1 you have ,im currently restoring a 1934 C35 I'm in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada

I heard you wondering about types of wood to use in the doors ,I was the same when I started out on this journey, I have used maple later I heard that ash is a wood to use , so mine id ash & maple

That is pretty sweet, when do you think you will bring it to one of Lydia's meetups?
Oh yeah wood. Go with ash easier to work with than the black oak. Good luck.
Nice truck! Cant speak for IH but ash was a very common wood for car and truck bodies of that period.
You should use ash or oak. They are the strongest and most rot-resistant woods. (Teak would be best of all, but you won't find any, and it's a cinch the original truck didn't have it either. Weight shouldn't be a problem, since a stronger, tougher wood will allow you to make thinner, lighter struts.
The blueprints may specify species. White Oak is rot resistant and could be a good choice.
