I put a sign in my dodge today. Having a new rig is really sweet and stuff but I'm tired of the payment and not getting anything back. If I'm gonna dump several hundred dollars a month into something, kind of would like to have something to show for it.

Looking for a 'C' series travelette of travellal. I would like to pull a gooseneck someday so a truck would be better obviously. But, I can bumper pull my junk for a few more years.

Like all IH guys, money is tight now until the truck sells, which could be a while. I would be willing to trade some serious labor or work.
My plan is to run it as is for a few months then gather up the CTD/6spd, 60F, 14bolt rear. Really focus on making it nice and comfortable.

Please keep the CXT/MXT pics to a minimum. Not sure I could or would want one. Or a 4700 for that matter.

It doesn't matter where its at. If the price is right, I'll travel or have it shipped.

Thanks!

You have a link to the dodge? Have a few guy's looking for tow rigs....


Good luck on your new build :smokin:

A few months late or early for some good gov auctions. But not sure you want a troop carrier:D

Its about 45 minutes away from me. Ill be glad to take a look at it for you but I think it would bend my 7k trailer like a horse shoe if I tried to bring it home:laughing:

I've got a line on 4 or 5 old binder trucks. I've got to go and talk to an old fella about a 195? one ton when I go home for thanksgiving. He's got a few more hanging around there in great shape. I'll take some pics and post up if you're still in the market.

BTW, I've got similar plans for the old dually: 12v,allison,14bolt, 19.5s pulling the scout around.

If you knew anyone with something like a 1980 something one ton dually with a questionable body you could probably find any old IH cab and drop it on top. I wouldn't tell anyone:D IIRC Hooper had some sort of heavy duty IH that is now probably covered with weeds

Hey my ears are burning. I also like the C trucks better but as life goes you build what you have then a sweet C truck comes along:( When you are ready to buy I have a list of travelettes here in Montana, shoot me a note and I will help you get your tow rig. Heres a shot of my truck before the build and after. And thanks for the kind words:grinpimp:

Theres a C series Travelette long bed 2x4 for $600.00 on the Denver Craigslist, it looks pretty good, been on there for awhile. I really like the C series over the D also, been thinking about building the 1966 Travelall Panel that i have had for 9 years but its just to good of a storage unit. Lately i have been really thinking about getting rid of my 2 dodge diesels and building a IH tow rig but i just have to many other projects going on to start another one.

From the pics, it doesn't look too bad, but the pics only show a small sampling of the truck. From reading the guy's ad, he sounds like an asshole.

There's been one on the Seattle/Tacoma Cl for a while. Not there now of course, but IIRC it looked OK and was cheap... and local :D



I got a Wagonmaster for ya :D

Somebody posted a link on the BB. Its a square body, which I'm not thrilled about but the price is right and its damn near already set up for me. We'll see what I can srape together. Gotta move the dodge first though.

The Travelette I was thinking of was a round body, I didn't think much of it at the time cause... while I like them, I'm "committed" to D-series right now :D I should probably at least "finish" on of them so I can enjoy it before I change projects... again.


If I remeber right it was a nice looking truck, and IIRC a short bed. If it pops up again I'll let you know. I have a feeling it didn't sell (not much is right now).



I'm actually kind of growing into the C-series as well. They do have a nice shape, but most require much more work to get them 'road worthy" (IMO) with brake swaps and steering etc, you just start closer with the D's. Plus parts are more common and available.



Kind of like Scout vs Scout II's :D

If you are looking to get rid of the Wagonmaster, Socha's75Scout over on the BB is seriously looking for one.

Hey on a different subject. I have herd that the D-series crue-cab has a 7.3 diesel? :smokin: but i can not find any information on it. is there a write up anywhere :confused: did he just swap the engine or ???:confused: my plans are that I have have a 68-1100C and I have this 4x4-F-350 sitting at a farm with a 7.3 5 speed and wos going to swap in the drive-train into the IH but im thinking maybe its easer to put the body of the IH on the ford frame


any info would be wonderfull!

Better hop on it quick.

Maybe find out who the owner it, talk them into letting you buy it, then talk them in to letting you leave it where is or store it elsewhere on their property. Atleast then the odds of it being randomly sold for scrap are slim(er).

Wow... that thing went from pretty cool to looks like ass in hurry. :laughing: Hellaciously built, but since money doesn't appear to have been an object, narrowing the axles would have done wonders for overall appearance.

I know I know... but storage is the sole factor holding me back. I doubt that you one could talk them into buying it and then just leaving it there. I wouldn't feel good about that anyhow, even if they would go for it. If I wasn't around to "babysit" it, who knows what they'd do to/with it once they got money out of it. Just a pipe dream until I get some place secured to store it....:(

back up FYI

With that pickup bed I doubt you could get enough wood in there to squat the springs. I would also guess the turning radius to be measured in city blocks. With the height of the bed loading and unloading anything would be a chore. I think it is a totally cool looking rig with very little practical value.

That truck was sold last year for $1300.00. I do not know if the current owner is who bought it for $1300.00 but the truck sold for a thousand and he paid the guy three hundred to deliver it. It was a 2wd and the guy that did the buildup had a complete build thread on one of the IH sites about it.

Not a bad build up and probably an OK truck, but not worth $3000.00 IMO.

Too bad it's not a 3/4 ton truck, 8 lug rims. Then it would be worth the 3k for sure. It's hard to find clean old trucks, there out there, but you got to be looking for a while and when you do find one somebody got an 8K price tags on them.:shaking: I bought my old truck for $4,100 and its in original condition and very clean. I have not done a thing but change the oil and tires in 4 years.:smokin:

I'm pretty sure it is a 3/4 ton truck. You can see the floater hubs sticking out of the rear hubcap. I think it still has drum brakes on it and a front Dana 44.
I'll see if I can find the thread, it was not on binder bulletin but the other site for IH stuff.

The rims are 6 lug.

I thought early IH products had a large six lug pattern on their 3/4 ton stuff.
Don't think they got conventional and went 8 lug till 73.

Don't think they got conventional and went 8 lug till 73.

I believe the switch was ~68/69, when they switched from C to D body. You'll find some C bodies with 8-lug, but I've never seen a D body with 6-lug.

Not a solid IH guy, was not sure about the year on the switch, but I was pretty sure early 3/4 ton stuff was the big 6 lug pattern. Thanks for clearing up the years.

If you're still hunting for one, PM me ~ I've got a guy out east of the Colo Springs area that has a CRAP ton of IH pickups, t-ettes, etc. All kinds. I'll give you his info.

Did you read the add? 444e= industrial powerstroke. No thanks. 8 lug wheels? No thanks. 4 speed Allison auto? No thanks.

It is sad though, the asking price is what I owe on my pickup :eek:

Yeah I read the ad, I still think it's a good rig, besides a DT466 and just about any transmission you'd ever want is a straight forward swap.

And ouch on the pickup, just remember you can sleep in your truck but you can't drive your house.

Its one step above my pickup as far as GVW goes. The highest hp rating you could get that configuration in 235hp/620ftlbs and that allison is rated good up to 250hp/650ftlbs. 8 lug wheels? really?

I'm still gonna go the Mechanos route and build a camper/goosneck set up. I'll just drive my pickup until the bloody end. I might be getting my moms old Hyundia. If so, Dodge will see MUCH less use anyway.

Damn you and your realism and common sense.....dream wrecker!:(

That's a sweet rig for sure. Realizing its faults, I still dig it. But I'm holding out for my coverted school bus dream.

Back to the topic at hand...

Don't know if this was posted yet, didn't see, but on the JIH site, looks like a good starting point:
