Bob is my grandpa. I grew up in that shop and helped haul a lot of the firewood he talked about. I was always surprised how much that little truck could haul. He wasn’t kidding about making everything either. He makes his own screws and bolts even when he has to. I love that shop smell too. It’s great to see him on my feed. Thank you!
Your artillery man grandfather is one of our great Americans artists who's work is with the metals of the world. My father's father a master blacksmith / master Machinist. Grandfather insisted that his sons learn his trades, my father master builder / engineer. My father's oldest brother was the master machinist installed the turbines in Hoover dam during the great depression and install the turbines and many of the other hydroelectric dams in the western portion of the United States. During your grandfather's war he worked in the Seattle shipyard where invented 300 mass production machines the federal government took the patents out on starting with amaschine to stampe washers of the sheet metal. He had a small shop like your grandfather in his basement. In visits I fell asleep in his shop a few times. He had a couple roll away beds down there. I'm a welder fabricator by actual trade though it's not one that I have spent a lifetime working in. I recognized that WW 11 Korean war heavy duty welding machine stashed in the corner. I certainly hope that you have used your time to learn your grandfather's trade. My mother's father was a master Carpenter / master saw sharpener. Carpenters from all around the United States would mail their hand saws to my grandfather sadly he passed away in 1967. My father would mail him saws from the island of Guam. I still have some of those saws. Rick is right so are you a machine shop has a certain smell of cutting oil, smell of cut metal. I loved being in the machine shop of the machinists / gunsmith who built three of my rifles. I love your comments on video of the trucks of the shop the man cave, as you are part of living history, Rick has been able to document in these videos. I salute your grandfather; my brother veteran. Wonderful series of videos Rick.
The automatic transmission in the Scout IIs and the long wheel base Scouts was made by Chrysler. The 304 was an an engine made by International Harvester. My family had a 1972 International Scout II with a 345 ci engine. It was a beast.
Back in the 70s, u could buy that scout for around 5,ooo dollars brand new, now days it would be 45-50,000. Where did the time go? i miss the days when you could buy junk cars for 35 to 50 dollars.
Bob, thank you for your service! Guys like Bob are amazing, all the young kids slam guys like Bob, I personally love to listen to and learn from these gentlemen, they are a wealth of knowledge! Being an IH guy myself this us a cool truck, purchased a '74 model 200, can't get her to fire . Don't know of any old IH trucks without rust, even mine with 12,000 miles has it!
Excellent video Classic Truck Rescue :) also Bob is super hero too for showing his Classic trucks of 1955 Chevrolet truck and International Travelle hope sell it for him to! I met couple World War 2 before past away years to and have met ones been other wars to since since still living today !
My uncle had a 75-76 Scout. I remembered it had a 345 V8, 4 wheel drive. He would plow with it in the winters here in Jersey. Seeing this video brought back memories of him and his International! Thanks for sharing😎👍
Bob is a family treasure. He is a member of the Greatest Generation and a true wealth of information. Bob is a walking talking history book. He can build anything for he is a mechanical genius. They don't make them like Bob anymore.
Now THAT was an awesome video! Talk about American Treasure, Bob is it. I remember visiting a lot of garages and shops just like that when I was a kid going places with my dad. I know the smell you talk about. I swear its the machine oil, cutting fluid, mixed with the cardboard boxes with metal corners, old books, i dunno.... I cant say for sure... but the smell is very unique. Meeting and talking to people just like Bob was the best part. Swapping stories and learning tidbits. Great times.... All very different nowadays.
My dad had a "man Cave" that was every bit as impressive as Bobs. He had less clutter but more machinery than Bob. He hired a rigger to get his equipment in. After his passing I hired one to get it out.
Bob is amazing! Very nice collection of machine tools. I owned a 77 Scout SSII for years.i bought the last ragtop out of some IH warehouse. It rusted out bad enough that body wasn't fastened to the frame. It was a blast to have back in the 80s.
Rick, you're 1000% correct about old tools and their smell... My ex- father-in-law was a car mechanic for 50 + years. Whenever he'd bring his toolchest home, lord how the garage would smell of grease, dirt and, cars! He did brakes, front end alignments and all car repair work. Tools take on the smell of grease, oil gas and whatever. That's how it goes..
That's my grandfather's garage (literally). He's helped me with my routine car maintenence for going on 25 years (I'm the same age as the Terra), and everything all of you think of him is 100% true. As far as I can tell, that smell is a mixture of lubricating oil, axle grease, and arc soot from the welder you didn't see.
Nice Gentleman for sure! It hard when get up to 100 yrs, you out lived all your friends and family, so nice that he has two daughters there to take care of him. This is a good example to live each day as it was your last, this man has done that very well! :-)
I have to agree my father was a master builder as is Ricks father Lou he was also an engineer in the military Navy construction battalion and later as a civilian in Navy public works centers, top secret cripto level 5 sometimes 7. A life time of him teaching me things and working with him I asked him why he never gave me my juryman Carpenters card. He scoffed at me I said I've never taught you enough. I said: Dad I have already forgotten more about carpentry and the formulas on the framing square thanj most journeyman Carpenter's today know. He said you proved my point I want you to finish your flying lessons and take me for a ride before I die. Nevermind carpentry.. I took him flying. He also had a teaching degree was the school teach who invented the adjustable crutches. Not the doctor who stole the only set of plans the American medical association had and took out a patent on them. Became a multy millionair at the end of WW2. But not my father.
FINALLY!! I see the Murphy's law poster that I have a copy etched in circuit board material!!! I must have made it in the early 80's... WOW! Talk about a man cave! A machinist's dream!!!
That’s a great guy to have met!! And I loved his Shops!! We had a ‘69 Travelall. Looked a lot like that ‘79 Scout Terra. Not a lot of change in 10 yrs. for Int’l. Ours had a Continental V-8 built in Muskegon or Kalamazoo, MI. I forget which. I don’t know what the displacement of the motor was but we pulled a 35’ by 8’ wide Travel Trailer that weighed over 8,000# with it and we had no brake controller.
Man, that's an oddball! IH had a rep for building whatever the customer wanted, but I don't think I've ever seen a Continental motor in any of them. Oh well - something new to look for in the junkyards:)
I took a few pictures of a travelall 1966 model 4 doors black in color had a big AMC v8 sounded like it was running on 6 cylinders. Guy who owns it do I get out of his grandfather's barn was using it for a mobile carpentry shop this is at a hotel I stayed at in the greater Dallas area of Texas. Very similar to the Jeep wagoneer. My uncle and I drove his 1969 wagoneerfrom Astoria, Oregon all the way back to Indiana, Minisota back track the Lewis and Clark trail to St Louis Missouri and then it was back to Seattle heck of a road trip. I always liked the travelall.
Great video Rick; Annabelle decided she was going to take over the entire house and family. Got a kick from the daughter holding her, petting her and she beat you to the "man cave".🙄🙄🤣 Bob is one of the last remaining truly great Americans who built / created this country.
I had one, 1977. tan. They are all rust buckets, every single one of the Scouts. The Terra is the traveler or in reverse. Longer than the Scout II. The traveler had the full cover fiberglass that was removable and HEAVY! The Terra top also comes off if you want. There is a panel between the bed and the seats that you can remove as well to make it the Traveler. Fun little trucks to drive but my god the rust problems they have. The best year model is the 1980 because they actually started using undercoating and had better steel from what I understand. Last year of the Scout too. Mine had the 304 great running engine, but way heavy for this rig. Then you can get the 345 as well. I had the 3spd standard. This one you are showing has the 727 torque flite in it. Great trans.
You oughta see the Terra top on a regular ScoutII - it's pretty cool, but it looks kind of weird with a 4ft. bed:) I loved my T18 wide-ratio, but the slap-shifter on the 727 was really fun to drive.
Cool guy. I always love those old things! I had a 78 Scout with a 345. I was always amazed at the size of the thermostat housing probably weighed 30 pounds! I was going to tell you about this guys channel I came across called adventures made from scratch. Unfortunately he chops up a lot of cool old trucks, although he buys most of them are from a guy that's taking them straight to the shredder. He tries to give them a partial purpose. I guess a lot of people like a slice of the front fenders and grill for wall hangings. Although several of them were a little too nice to be sliced. Best wishes you guys!
Hey Rick hey Jamie I am sorry that I haven't left a comment with you in awhile but I just wanted to let you know I still watch all your videos and I still smash the like button for you so you and your whole family stay safe and God bless out there
Hi from Key Largo. I was waiting for this video. I have my 61 IH Scout 80 running good after replacing the carburetor. Still have more work to get her roadworthy. I hope to have my 1962 GMC 1000 shortbed flairside running soon. I didnt buy that 1957 Chevrolet 3100 we spoke about. It's still for sale. Priced to high. Take care and I hope you heal up good.
I remember my dad wanted one of these when they first came out but the local dealers didn't keep them in stock and they were talking about $6000; just for a two wheel drive one so a year or so later he ended up buying a 78 Dodge D150 for quite a bit less.
I know. This is one of the last videos with that camera set-up. Kermit sent me a legit Bodcam harness and it works much better than the 'Cap-Cam"...Thanks for the visit.

Another of Rick's "salt of the Earth friends" ! Good people attract good people.
So true
Those old binders are some tough old trucks.
Yes they are. Thanks for watching again Vaughn.
What a wonderful man Bob is
He sure is John.

Very cool! I love the way Trucks make memories.
My dad drove an early seventies scout with a snow plow on it for a few winters. One of his part time jobs to keep the family fed.👍🇨🇦

WOW! Talk about a man cave! A machinist's dream!!!
That sounds neat.
@@ClassicTruckRescue for a short time at work, I was taught how to etch circuit boards. Naturally, I learned doing "G" jobs. (Home projects).

Yep, I had one too. Mine had the six cylinder diesel, I loved that little truck until one day it disappeared in a cloud of rust.😆

Why do I get the feeling I'm about to be traumatized?
@@ClassicTruckRescue That’s exactly what happened to me! I only wish we could save them all.
Used these scouts out back in the West Virginia mtns and they went up about any hillside we took it up
I've heard they're like Billy Goats.

Hi from Key Largo. I was waiting for this video. I have my 61 IH Scout 80 running good after replacing the carburetor.
Still have more work to get her roadworthy.
I hope to have my 1962 GMC 1000 shortbed flairside running soon.
I didnt buy that 1957 Chevrolet 3100 we spoke about. It's still for sale. Priced to high.
Take care and I hope you heal up good.
Sounds great Brian! 62 GMC Trucks a very cool.
Can you share your buddy Ben Palmer's TH-cam channel. Would like to see his International Harvesters
He doesn't have a TH-cam Channel Brian. I believe he's at 406 Garage on Instagram though.
I think the Scout was a 345 engine, not 304.
You can tell by the upper radiator hose shape
Thank you
Thanks for the Visit Okie Bob. Hope you are doing well. Love your "Boomer" page.
Hi Rick & Jamie hey Rick please tell Bob that he's my 99yr old Hero 🤩☝️

How much were they selling te scout for!

Well....its old.
awesome be great to sell Murphy's Law poster remakes,, heck so many would buy them in todays crazy world
That's a great idea!
@@ClassicTruckRescue yes it is with todays nuts running things now
You were moving the camera so damn fast that I got dizzy and had to quit.

Diss u buy it from him
Old greesy medal and luboil
I didn't realise you had an accident I do apologise
No worries Michael. Thank you for Watching.
for a scout its in good shape a friend of mine had one in 1989 that was not near that good
