1955 International Rebuild Part 3: Prep for Engine Removal
ฝัง

- There are still a few odds and ends that need to be disconnected before that engine comes out of the truck. Today we'll remove those so that when the snow clears in the spring we'll be ready to pull the motor and start fitting our new motor and trans.
What this said about at "1:10" is basically correct.
Or as also called a:
"COMBINATION MANIFOLD".
"DANG!" I LOVE THIS!
But at the same time,
I also envy the snot out of this guy watching him doing what I've always had a love to do and hopefully will do again one day:
"RESTORE ANTIQUE TRUCKS".
But with me, I don't want to just:
HEAR THIS TRUCK PURR LIKE A KITTEN,
SEE THIS TRUCK ABLE TO DRIVE AROUND.
NO,
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE OLD TRUCK "FULLY RESTORED"
PAINTED, AND EVERYTHING!!!
Of course, I will be impatiently watching and waiting for it.
Enjoying your videos of your cool project
This is a great video! I own a 1959 international pickup with a dump bed and it is my favorite car.
Thanks! It's killing me that the snow is covering it right now, because I would love to be able to work on it more over the winter. I hope to have the engine in this year, and hopefully finished for the summer of 2021. Would love to be able to yard drive it a little this year.
Tip, when the cab floor comes around no matter how good the metal looks put new sheet metal or floor pans over it because eventually the whole floor will rot
@@bmxandgaming4438 Oh my cab floor is toasted. The whole thing needs to be cut out and replaced. I think there might be a shot of it in my first video maybe? The salt up my way in Atlantic Canada just eats everything. I'd love to see some photo's or videos of yours if you have any
Definitely will do
I won’t be able to until probably two weeks but I definitely will
Getting closer! 😀👍
I miss being able to go out and make all that progress in an afternoon, now I'm waiting on parts most of the time and it drives me wild!
@@RustRehab yeah, shipping is crazy now days 😔
Episode three, nice slow sequence.
I'm convinced that at least half of such projects are begun without any real inkling what the guy has gotten himself into. That's probably why most of them are never completed.
That applies here for sure. But I like being in those situations because it forces me to learn how to solve mechanical issues I would never bother with otherwise. I just wish the truck wasn't unaccessible 6 months a year. Gives me a break though so I don't get burnt out.
@@RustRehab You must be REALLY ENJOYING the weather in New Brunswick right now, EH?
@@donellmuniz590 its so warm that I half regret tarping off the international! I'm working on my new (to me) Argo though, and a few months worth of house renos, so I'll stay busy anyways for sure
@@RustRehab What's an Argo?
@@RustRehab Wait, how can it be warm there when the whole Northeast is buried in snow?? Where the hell is New Brunswick again? Ain't it just south of Greenland?

If I’m correct those should have a split windshield from what I’ve seen
I'm not 100% sure which years/models did, but I think they were pretty well gone by the mid 50's when this truck came out. I think some "L" series trucks had them, and they are very similar to the "R" series like mine.
Ahh okay I think it’s cause I’m not used to Canadian vehicles and the models and types, but I am exited to see it get restored and surprisingly lots on people on TH-cam last year and this year are restoring old vehicles for some reason but I think it’s cool I might do it haha
@@thehistoryspotonyoutube7424 go for it! It's a great way to learn, and I find that if you post videos about it then people on TH-cam are very willing to share their knowledge. It's been super useful for me
It is my daily driver
why didnt you just undo the fuel line instead of tightening it tighter and tighter until everything stripped and snapped off?
A long time ago, I had a 1954 IHC R110 with a 1968 BG-241 engine in place of the original SD-220. Both of these engines were inline 6 cylinders and the most obvious difference (aside from the block stampings) was the configuration of the oil filter housing. Can you identify what kind of engine was in your truck? My guess is a 265.
Mine ended up being a BD 308. The more time goes on the more I wish I was able to keep it, or even just replace it with an identical one. They're just so rare up here. I have a big block Chev to go in it's place next year
@@RustRehab I had an ambition to eventually replace the Black Diamond 241 and 3 speed transmission with a 3-53 Detroit Diesel with a 5 speed. The RPM range of the two engines was comparable and the 2-Stroke Detroit would have been a torque monster.
@@RustRehab BD designation was for Blue Diamond. The SD was for Silver Diamond. There was also a RD and GRD for Red Diamond and Green Diamond, where for decency sake, the manufacturer added a third initial.
@@johnarmstrong5888 I wanted to do something similar to mine at first, but rear end is geared too low for it. I think I worked out I needed to be at near 4500k RPM to hit 100km/60 miles and hour. I'm looking for an NV4500 trans so that I can get an O/D gear and I'm considering pairing that with taller tires too. If I can get under 3500 RPM with my 454 I think I'll be happy. Although I would have preferred the diesel, I really don't need it. I'm sure I'll get some practical use out of the truck, but at the end of the day I'm just going to toss in whatever is available to me because for me it's more about just building it then it is using it. Do you have any photos or videos of your truck?
I just bought a ‘53 R-160 with a Heil pto dump bed. Very similar to your truck. Wish mine had the 2-speed rear end. Have you looked for brake shoes yet? I’m guessing I may have to get the the originals re-lined. Thanks for the videos.
I have looked for shoes and drums, no luck with either yet. I'm a bit worried actually that I may end up swapping axles just because I can't find brakes!
@@RustRehab Don’t panic too much- I have had clutches and brake shoes re-frictioned on other projects. It would be nice to have the parts in hand before tearing into it though.
Why did you tighten that fuel line?
It's been a little while since I've made this, but I can't remember tightening a fuel line. I'm thinking it's maybe the one that was seized, so instead of loosening the line it just twisted off? If you want to link the time stamp I'll take a look tonight and give you a better answer though
Never mind, I just watched it back. Total brain fart for me, I'm looking at the bolt from the opposite side and didn't think to adjust the way I was threading it. There were no threads left anyways, so it just twisted off which works out fine. Good eye though, I didn't even notice that while I was putting the videos together.
@@RustRehab The ones that always get me are the lock bolts for the fence on my saw bench, they hang downwards and screw upwards.
I'm embarrassed to admit that anytime i can't rely on muscle memory to tighten or loosen a bolt I end up trying to picture a clock or think of the "righty tighty" rhym. Your fence bolts are a good example of that!
