Thanks. I agree that the nicks and dings are what make an old truck or car special. One of the things I like best about this truck is the spot on the driver door where you rest your arm with the window down. The paint is worn through to the primer there.
My granddad had a truck like this when I was little for the Benedict Ranch up in the california desert. It was a little rusty, but it did the job having a manual transmission
Add some type of cover to the cowl if you don't want rot to start, even from the occasional rain. Beautiful truck..can't wait to be driving my 69 2wd 908 IHC again.
I have 3 of them and am always breaking the L/H front shock on all of them. Breaks off at the bottom mounting eye. I think there is interference against the leaf spring pack when the tire goes into a deep hole. I love the granny gear.
About 30 years ago, I was looking for those round rear tailight lenses. I had an empty NAPA Balkamp box with the park number on it and a Chicago address. Somehow I got to the actual manufacturer for the Balkamp division. The guy I talked to said he probably had some old stock. He sent me the round lenses plus original lenses for my 62 Chevy pickup. $7 each piece. Now you find those round lenses in the Scout forums for $60 each piece. Scout and pickup are the same. By the way, I once had access to every nut, bolt, brush, bushing, field coil to any rotating electrical component via the WAI brand, a brand used by electrical rebuilders. The last remnants of that industry in Fresno is Evan's Electric Service/Armature Service, a family run business since the 1920's. The IH starter is an MT-10 Delco. The bushings and brushes are the same as for all the Chevy/GM starters from the 60's era. I believe the starter brushes are D-757 Delco. NAPA may still sell bushings. There were once undersize bushings avail to compensate for armature shaft wear. Those parts had an X-1 and X-2 after the base part number. Many rebuild starters are unreliable straight out of the box because it seems like no one wants to change field coils. My buddy has a "meggar" that he uses to test field coils out of junk starters I find. New coils for the MT-10 are hard to find. (They are wound for the rotation for the IH engine). There are many Chinese websites who will build them for you but I don't need a full cargo van's worth. Most, if not all other parts are avail, but can be expensive like the dogbone front motor mounts, or can be found if you know what other vehicle they were used on. Example, the heater fan switch is the same as on Kenworth trucks and the headlight switch is the same ad on some late 50's to early 60's GM cars (International used many Delco components...the Delco distributor uses points/rotor/little window distributor cap (D-308 Delco) as all the GM 60's V-8's)
My dad worked for IH and we never had anything but IH I remember when we would go pick the. Truck up at the lot or they would Bring it in .That model was a forestry truck the for wheel drive was expensive Back then .Some had positive track built in and other didn't .Thats a government-ordered truck. 66 Jeep truck we're that color to .Heavy duty .
In high school in the 70's had one just like this bought for 150.00 dollars cause it needed a front clip , I'd drive it around my small town with headlights and turn signals mounted on a 2x10 ....lol..... sold it cause I couldn't find front clip wish id hang on to it.
Body parts for these are getting tough to find. I also had a 1960 IH pickup in the 70s that I drove in high school. Mine was complete and in pretty decent shape except some rust in the upper passenger door hing pocket. I had to be real careful opening that door because the lower hinge was the only think keeping it in place. I kinda wish I'd have hung on to that one too along with every other car I owned thru the 80s.
That would have looked trippy. Go to Google Earth and look up Turner's Auto Wrecking. If you need something in the future, call him up and ask personally. The website is probably not monitored. I got a complete frame for a 69 Impala because someone had destroyed the original when they installed hydraulics. The workers took the time to remove the frame and they remember me because they helped me tie it down to my little trailer pulled by my old Camry. They were in awe and laughing when I pulled out of the yard.
Thanks. It's a lot of fun to take to car shows. I'm usually the only IH truck there, although there was a nearly identical 2wd truck the same color as mine at a show in August last year.
They also came with a couple different 5 speed manual options. The T34 (overdrive) and T36. Mine is a half ton with the T36. I have the original line setting ticket for my truck listing the T36 5 speed in the build specifications.
Late as usual, my 67 has the same dash but that's where it ends. Mine is a stepside with 6 cylinder 4 speed My fuel filler is in the bedside, tank just behind the cab. Came with no seat, no windows and doors held closed with bungee cords. I've got a lot of work to do, and parts just don't exist or are WAY overpriced. Always been a Texas truck, so minimal rust
I prefer the step side box on the round bodies. The bonus box doesn't follow any of the cab body lines and looks kinda out of place like a Ford box on a Chevy truck. That being said, you don't mess with original, so my truck will stay as it came from the factory. Good luck on your project. You're ahead of the curve starting with a low rust body.
Thanks. It really is a nice truck, but I did end up pulling the engine and replacing it with a 345 from a 69' pickup. I have a full video series on my channel of that project if you want to see it start to finish.
Thanks. These International pickups used some of the same engines and transmissions as the larger Loadstar trucks, so they were up to the task of heavy hauling.
Terrific find for you! --Were any of the five-speed manual gearboxes from the factory, overdrive? Or were there only the three on the tree type with overdrive? Was the overdrive available with any of the engines offered?
Thanks! My 5 speed is a T36 with a direct drive 5th gear. International also offered the T34 where 5th gear was overdrive. I've never heard of the T34 on anything but the V8s.
@@TheToolmanTim Wyoming, not rusty, it's just had a rough life and a lot of shade tree repairs. It has non-stock (60 rear, 44 front) axles, 2wd 4 speed trans, and many other hacked repairs. But mostly complete and functional.
I just finished refreshing my spare engine and swapping it in this spring, so I'll be enjoying driving it for the foreseeable future, but I'll get back in touch if I decide to sell in the future. I've got a seven part video series on the engine work if you're interested. International 345 V8: th-cam.com/play/PLvL7BnybEP6BLPtWkeesZ2y2h5tsI6R8A.html
Congrats on your aquisition. I usually go with a Wix filter and Shell Rotella 15W40 diesel oil because it has higher zinc content needed for these older International SV engines. I'd love to see a few pics and hear the details on your truck.
My line setting ticket indicates the truck came with a bench seat from the factory. Somewhere along the line someone switched it out for the buckets. I do know the bucket seats and console are International and probably from the same timeframe.
cool ole truck bud one thing good about the interwebs huh wish i had one or 68 dodge sweptline one i had as a kid 318 3 on the tree chrome wheels one glasspack boy i thought i was cool my friends didnt, UGLY OLE dodge your driving ha ha they fight formem now,, international is my other choice
Isn't it funny how the stuff people thought was worthless suddenly becomes popular. Go figure. I liked all of the 60s Dodge pickups except the ones with the huge chrome headlight surrounds.
Beautiful truck, absolutely wonderful. Very classy for a 60’s truck
@@StephenStrader-f2z Thanks! It for sure stands out in a sea of 60's big three trucks you normally see out there.
@@TheToolmanTim I couldn’t have said that better myself, it’s so true.
Let that truck tell its story, no need to restore it to pristine. Just drive it and enjoy it. Wonderful example of a survivor.
Thanks. I agree that the nicks and dings are what make an old truck or car special. One of the things I like best about this truck is the spot on the driver door where you rest your arm with the window down. The paint is worn through to the primer there.

That is one nice truck. We had a 66 3/4 ton long bed when I was little, 45 years ago.
Thanks! Not too many survived from back then. Hope your old 66 is still kicking around somewhere.
Beautiful truck. Sounds just like my ‘75 200 with a 345. A little piece of history.
Thanks Adam. My favorite sound is the low rumble when I'm using the engine to brake as I roll up to a stop light or turn.
Nice looking IH you got there 🙂👍 Sounds good too. Take care 🔧
What a great vehicle you have.
I'm so glad you didn't do anything to it, it's really nice the way it is.
Thanks. My plans are to keep it as original as I can. If I had one in rougher condition I'd be more willing to take liberties.
Beautiful truck. I love the distinctive low rpm rumble of the IH sv engines. I have a 1968 1200c travelette.
Thanks, David. If engines were horses, the SV would be a draft horse. It's all about torque that you not only hear but feel in the driver seat.
Sweet truck I have a 67 1200 4x4
Cool. Isn't it great to drive a truck people have trouble identifying. They regularly ask "who makes that truck?"
Add some type of cover to the cowl if you don't want rot to start, even from the occasional rain. Beautiful truck..can't wait to be driving my 69 2wd 908 IHC again.
You're right. The round body trucks had a very bad reputation for rusting in the cowl.
My first vehicle & 16 yrs old was a 1967 908B Harveste red
Beautiful trucks
I have 3 of them and am always breaking the L/H front shock on all of them. Breaks off at the bottom mounting eye. I think there is interference against the leaf spring pack when the tire goes into a deep hole. I love the granny gear.
I'll have to take a close look at mine to see if everything on the shock mount is in tact.

Way to go man
The pickups and smaller trucks had 3spd column shift manual or 4spd manual transmissions exclusively unless you bought the automatic.
They also came with a couple different 5 speed manual options. The T34 (overdrive) and T36. Mine is a half ton with the T36. I have the original line setting ticket for my truck listing the T36 5 speed in the build specifications.

Very beautiful Nice
Nice truck
Very nice old binder

Awsome
Thanks!
Nice truck I'm a little young to have seen these when new but I bet they were great work trucks that suspension looks tough

Sweet truck !
Thanks. I think it's a keeper.
Very nice truck
Thanks Mark!
It’s a beauty! If you ever sell I’m interested!
How many horse and miles and could it push a snowplow ??? C u soon for some crappie action, Tim.
Quite lovely of a,truck

That's great! What part of the country are you in? Hope it's not too rusty.

Glad to hear it's not rusty. It is a lot easier to sort out mechanical issues than chasing down rust problems.
My dad would love to know if this would ever be for sale. If you would be interested in selling would you please let me know?

How's Buddy? Still wet from the river?
someone's OGF. if only she could speak of the journeys she's had.
is that an original sets? my 68 has bench ,i think i like yours better

I have got it’s twin!!! Mine is not near as nice as yours..
Very cool! I'd love to see pictures if you ever post them online.
I little sad seeing it end up in Minnesota, rust in pieces. ☹
Don't feel too sad. It only gets driven in the summer and is stored indoor year round.

Fords of that era were a LOT prettier in the interior than Chevy or Dodge

I don’t think dodge interiors were ever nice lol
