Witness a 1946 International Pickup Truck’s First Wash in Half a Century

1946 International Pickup Truck

While washing the bed of the classic International truck, he discusses the advantage of the International’s full metal bed. This option was less common in pickup trucks of the era. With the alternative being a wooden bed that can become damaged or disintegrates much more quickly over time, a full metal bed is a more durable choice and he is grateful that this truck has one. A purist at heart, he prefers to keep the bed original and says that if it had been a wooden bed, he would have worked with it rather than replacing it with a metal one.

After a pressure wash inside and out, he addresses a stuck glove box which is missing the compartment inside. He manages to get the door open and also takes a look at the unique windshield on the pickup. The windshield glass comes in two pieces and allows the glass to open, something that is fairly unique to the truck and a feature he plans to get back to working order
