IH trucks

[kide]

Dennis - those pics were taken under street lights with am I-Phone, color was redder than that. I didn't look inside (too high)...... That could be 31K in corn fields, which would be like 200K on the roads, too. I still like it, although I'd rather have the older style like the one that Charlie posted... I should call the guy and ask if he'd trade for a '98 Ranger 2WD sbox. (the s in sbox isn't for short...)

Gerry-
That's a very nice rig. I wonder if the body panels are free of any "plastic". Most times when I see a truck for that price I have to assume 31,000 means 131,000 (or more!) It would be a nice truck with some white painted steel wheels. I think you should buy!

Charlie-
If I would have wanted a Cheby, I would have bought a Cheby with a Cheby body on it. That thing was a Blazer-Cake with IH icing on top!

Denny-
'75 was the last year for IH Pickups...

Ok all you IH Truck guys - my son sent me this link and I hope it's ok to post it. Following are a couple pics this guy posted. Says there is 26k original miles on this truck, and when you see the frame it sure looks it. But I guess he'd rather switch than fight since he must live on John Deere Road.

1966 International Travelall. This one is for sale in costa mesa ca.

Almost exactly 1 year later this thread comes alive again.
I'll have to get a pic of an old one around here that is for sale. Maybe in a few days.

I wish to share this paragraph from the Operator's Manual for the R-110, R-111 and R-112 Motor Trucks :

SHORT-PERIOD STORAGE
Because of the tendency toward accelerated gum formation in gasoline obtainable under present conditions, if this vehicle is to be stored or remain inactive for a period exceeding three days, the fuel system of this vehicle should be prepared as follows as a preventative against gum formation:
1. Completely drain the fuel tanks.
2. Run the engine until all fuel is consumed in the carburetor.
3. Remove the plug from the carburetor under the main jet assembly, to complete the draining.
4. Empty the sediment bowl at the fuel pump.


Gasoline in those days must have been of real poor quality, requiring draining of the fuel system if the vehicle is not used for three days!!

My father bought a bottle green 1955 R-110 when I was ten and we used it for at least nine years.

Years fly by. Thanks, Dawid for reminding us that maybe the "new gas" isn't as bad as we think.

Was watching "Crocodile Dundee" with the kids last night and realized that the "outback buggy" that he drives from Walk-about-creek into the bush is a cut down IH C-1300 pickup.... there is a nice clear shot of the "IH" in the grill behind the Aussie bull bar.

Here's an old photo of myself sitting beside my dad's 1968 International pickup.

Here is another pic when he gave it to me right after I got married in 1982. In 87' I bought a S-10 and dad told me to trade the IH in on the S-10. That's one time I regret doing what my dad told me to do!

Thanks for sharing, Marty. I too got married in 1982. I didn't get a pickup truck from my Dad, though. I'm sure he he thought his advice was in your best interest.

Jeremiah,

I know he had my best interest in mind, but I sure wish I had that truck now. It would be restored and hauling some cubs to cruise-ins.
