I grew up with kids whose parents worked there back in the day. Holden was next door and Heinz cannery next to that seemed half of town worked in those 3 factories

Been a painter for 30 years and I seriously loled at "rock hard Acrylic Enamel".

My Grandfather used to take me to work in a butterbox Acco tipper identical to these, when I was 4yrs. I loved the sound of the old perkins.

Funny I never saw a ACCO without rust!

[@stevenbaker3302]

must do a salt water dip before painting, rust buckets

[@markdanielczyk944]

Even the U.S. trucks rusted out before they wore out. Finally got better with the 4000 series. Cool video, another piece of IH history, thanks for sharing!

The colour they used should have been called "International Superfade"

[@mickmorrissey16]

I think International Harvester deserve their $350 k back. They rusted quicker than any other truck in its day.

[@artmarquez9140]

Someone lied. These rust buckets are the worst.

I bought an ACCO twin steer for the farm about ten years ago. I got that one because it was the only one I looked at rust free. Two weeks after I got it home the rust showed up everywhere.

I worked at IH for 19 years. The EPD process was floored due to drilling holes in the cab after the process.

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

As a government apprentice we had shit loads of these and they all had EPD stickers but I've seen a lot of private owned ones that didn't, none of government ones seemed to get rust, may have been optional at extra cost, maybe why some rusted and some didnt

[@doubledown9333]

It's funny that i have seen these things rusted out then.

[@rakkassan2187]

Ih red had cadmium in its paint?
