It has custom springs from National Spring in San Diego. It was spring-over from the factory, but these provide a few inches more lift and much greater articulation. Also has lockers in both axles.
I think that a D-Series Travelall with the straight six must be pretty unusual. I knew the engine was available but I have never seen a Travelall in person that didn't have a V-8.
The only other 6 cylinder International I saw was my uncles 1954 one ton. A neat trick with the six cylinder if you wanted to embarrass a pony or muscle car was to put the transfer case in low range, would only do about 40 miles per hour, but got there super quick.If you hit the transfer case right you could high range it and keep going, people never believed it was a small six, miss that truck a lot.
I absolutely love this international. This is definitely my favourite one . I would love to know the suspension set up on it . Hope to build a similar one in the future. Would love to see some more videos on it .
The factory leaf springs were replaced by a set of custom springs from National Spring in Santee California. They were designed for articulation and they resulted in a small lift of about 2 inches (the factory suspension was pretty tall already). The brake lines were lengthened and new Rancho shocks were installed. That is the extent of the suspension work.
I love your build... keeping your IH an IH, not some tube chassis'd, LS-swapped mud bogger/rock hopper on 22s and mudders. :) Those guys are probably better off building a from scratch buggy anyways... If you ever want to sell it shoot me a message, or on facebook Matthew Isin Thegarage.
Great ride. I had a 66 back in the day. I am sure she would have climbed it, but wouldn't have wanted to come down that steep spot at first with her brakes
Not enough Travelalls around to support a club. There are several clubs for International trucks, both Internet forums (Binder Planet, Binder Bulletin) as well as real life clubs. Most International owners own Scouts. Fewer of us own the Travelalls or Pickups.
pwschuh I just got myself a 1971 1210 4x4 truck in medium blue metallic with the exterior trim. Looks a whole lot like yours but is a project. Would love to know what you did to your Travelall because I want to do the same stuff in my rig as you.
Thank you. Most of the wheel travel you’re seeing is coming from the suspension design There may well be some flex in the body mounts too, but I have not yet noticed any ill effects on things like steering, etc.
@@pwschuh I was watching the frame flex up front too. You can see how much the frame twists by how much the front bumper angles back and forth relative to the body, and it's a lot. I'm no expert on this stuff and I'd expect that there's no way to prevent this motion on typical trucks this size, but it does remind me of the 1971 Travelall I used to have (stock 2wd and the lightest model they made, so therefore the off-road situations were pretty tame, mainly earthwork sites where I was doing inspections), and as it got old and more rusty (that happens out here), minor off-road situations caused the front end of the body to flex enough (much less than seen here) that it stressed the radiator too much and it start leaking. I welded a pair of diagonal braces across the radiator "gap" which helped, but the issue still concerned me. It might be something to assess. Still, this is a mighty awesome setup!
@@ericl2969 I see what you're saying about bumper moving relative to body. So far I have not had issues with any engine or frame to body connections (hoses or wires) being stressed by this. Perhaps I have just enough slack in them to compensate.
@@pwschuh I wouldn't worry at all about the things you mentioned. They'll be fine. I mentioned the radiator because if the front end of the body twists too much, the radiator be stressed, and it's not built to tolerate that. It would be neat if there were some flexible connections one could use for mounting the radiator so it would not be forced to take on stress when the body deforms a bit. Anyway, clearly you've had no trouble so far. It was just something I had some experience with years ago and so I thought I'd mention it. The truck is still awesome, no matter what.
Right on! Thanks for the response. I'm getting ready to put tires on my 75 200 I've been fixing up, when you did the national leaf springs did you go with longer ones and similar to what people do with the Chevy leaf spring setup with moving the mounts ? Your IH flexes nicely.
@@g.o.b.2558 To be honest, I don’t recall. It was almost 26 years ago. I gave the truck to National and told them “I want more articulation.” This is what i ended up with.
Are those Lockers stock in that BAD BOY? Lockers make all the difference, that's why that Jeep couldn't make it up the hill.. IH forever (392❤) I think I am going to have CORN with dinner tonight!! I I
Nope, sorry. Mostly sits in my garage near DC. Last time it went off road was about 2 years ago, but the trail was very boring. I did get the front Dana 44 with drums swapped out for a 10 Bolt with upgraded chromoly axles so I could have front disk brakes.
@pwschuh in the future I'd like to get one of these as a weekend family beach hauler. I'm in NY long Island so there are no trails by me but there are some beaches
@@PCSpider Stock was Dana 60 rear and Dana 44 front. Front now has GM 10 Bolt with upgraded Chromoly axles. Swapped the front so I could have disk brakes.

one of the best four wheel drives in history excellent excellent vehicles Whoever has one of these you must be a happy camper
I have one. it's different.
I can't believe how well it flexes. Killer Travelall!

I had a 71 with the six cylinder close to 40 years ago, loved it, always regretted selling it. Yours is a good looker.

Great looking classic truck. I love that you actually take it out and use it without beating it up.
Very good looking Travelall, and I love to see it keeping up with those smaller Jeeps!!
Travel so did great. Thanks final for sharing.
That is some truck and some nice drivin buddy!
+nw8000 Thanks! And thanks for watching.
What an exellent truck! Lovely
amazing vehicle!! IH kicks ass!!

This guy’s got ⚽️ 🏀 of steel
Oh that beautiful Travelall. I'll buy it off you.
The people sitting in back seat was hurting that one jeep having the problem. That last hump, it was to tail heavy.
NOW THAT IS AN SUV
I have a 71 Travelall that looks very similar, it's been on a few easier trails. I don't have video of it though.
Nice looking rig. It looks like your front body mounts are flexing quite a bit, might want to replace with polyurethane

What mods were done (if any) to the truck? Looks lifted or is it just tires?
Very Nice👌 what size rims and tires are you running?
Stock International 16.5" rims. Tires are Goodyear 33" MTs.

No. I had the lockers installed after I bought it. I did not buy the truck new, but it may have had a factory limited slip.
Any updated videos on this truck?

@pwschuh that's awesome brother I love these big body internationals and suburbans. If you ever have a chance I guess do a walk around video

Good ol IHC
392?
Yes.
I have one too!
What kind of lockers did you install?
During the time when this video was shot, it had a Detroit in the rear and a Lock-Rite in the front. Now it has a Detroit in both axles.
@@pwschuh were they the stock Dana 60 and Dana 40?
@@PCSpider Stock was Dana 60 rear and Dana 44 front. Front now has GM 10 Bolt with upgraded Chromoly axles. Swapped the front so I could have disk brakes.
What happened to this truck any new videos?
Truck is on the East Coast now. Fewer opportunities for wheeling where I live. It's still doing great but mostly used for trailer towing duties now.
@pwschuh Nice. Would be cool to see an updated video on it
ive got 2 travelalls not 4x4 tho but with 392s
I really like your IH. Interested in selling? I'm in AZ.
Thanks but sorry. Not for sale.
