Will it START & DRIVE out to the ROAD? 50yr OLD 6X6 International Army Truck!

Do you prefer straight working videos or do you also like to see interaction with others like with Brian at the end (where possible)? Let me know, Bruce

Bruce,the best dressed mechanic on you tube.

Whoever bought that is quite an enthusiast... Great work mate

The interview at the end was excellent

The beginnings of a 'sun roof'! Fuel stabilizer! You're a very wise man! An old outboard fuel primer bulb, sweet! And smart! Love the Suzuki yard dog! We used to call Internationals 'Cornbinders', as they were very popular on the farm! That is one Heavy Duty roll back! And Bruce gives thought to the 'other' driver!!

Great to see more history being saved or to help other historical vehicles being saved, priceless ,

Glad to see she’s gone to a good home . Well done Bruce .

Bruce, I hope you consider interviewing more people, Im young and I learned a lot from that brief interview. I don't exactly have anyone like you two gents to teach me! More people are living in cities than ever and the tradies are in short supply where I live!

That brought back some memories. The ignition switch hole above the driver and above the windscreen was still there, a bit loose and rusty; I was waiting for you to reach up and turn the ignition on. Interchangeability was a big thing with the original 4x4 version, the propeller shafts were interchangeable, from memory the transfer case and gearbox had interchangeable bearings, both differentials were identical and so on. The 6x6 F1 was quite the vehicle in it's day, slowish with a top cruising speed or about 41-43 mph (pre metric days) but it could climb like nothing else if the tyres were running low pressure, steering was as heavy as anything and the air brakes were either on or off. If you missed a gear and really overrevved it, it was not uncommon to drop a valve, and sometimes put a dent into a piston; did it once myself. RAEME to the rescue.... The mid mounted winch had approximately 250' of steel cable which allowed recovery from the rear or via a steel pulley from the front. The whine from the straight cut gears in the 6x6 was unbelievable, but you soon got used to it; probably why I'm half deaf these days.

Good morning from across the pond

Hi Bruce. I enjoyed the video especially the chat at the end. I was impressed with his recovery vehicle. It didn't even flinch when loading the old Acco. All the best, Mart in England.

Thanks Bruce, great videos from a great bloke. Be well.

Brian seemed like a good chap. Knows his stuff.

That must be an Australian built vehicle. The look on your face as you took off in that thing was priceless. Thanks to all that helped bring this content to us. The talk with the new owner was genuine and informative to those that want to know.

Good evening Bruce from Ipswich, love watching your videos, as they say in here in Oz you're a bloody bewty, keep the videos coming Bruce.

Thank you Bruce excellent knowledge and skill set I love your videos

You mentioned that you think about what the next person in the chain of events and set up for them. That is wisdom. My Daddy taught me that as you are helping someone do something, like working on an old truck is always try to see the next tool that will be needed even before it is asked for. I loved that he said that. Great job on moving that machine. That is a monster!

Yessssssss, another Bruce video ! Go Bruce, go !💪🏻🔧🧙‍♂️ Greetings from Holland 🇦🇺❤️💪🏻🔧

Goodday Bruce! Love the content, keep it coming! 👍👍👍
