Yup.. definitely swap out cartridges a lot!
I don't think I'm too old, and I agree with this. 4-door cars were NEVER cool when I was in high school, that's for sure. Sometimes I look at...
It's not just the speed, it's also the utter and total lack of consideration the other drivers have. No, it is not everyone, but a higher...
Depends on the other drivers in the are and the speed limits. I thought Portland had bad drivers on the interstate, but Denver is down right...
Oh... No idea, he said "cab" and I just assumed truck.
LOL so true. :p
I don't know about these trucks. Are they a side steer or cross steer, and is the gear in front of or behind the front axle? If it's a side...
Did you keep the L6, or do a V8 swap? I'm guessing the 6, as it looks like an original radiator and I think I can see what looks like an original...
Have you priced out the parts? I have absolutely no idea how much they cost as I don't think I've even considered a full air-ride (just air...
I think the place I found is called Restoration Specialties. For a 50 L series they had a whole kit, top to bottom including fender welt for like...
This is how I understand typical spring failures; it's cycles, not stationary compression. That's in general terms though and I don't know if...
I'm pretty sure it's a T-9, which I'm not too happy about. Some came with T-98s, but I'm pretty sure this one isn't. I think these also have an...
LOL, no wife won't let me do that. She might let me do that to refinish the basement, though. :o
That's what sent me down this rabbit hole. Down the road I could put a turbo kit on it and it would be a cool hot rod motor. I never really...
Well, a bit dramatic, but the one for $150 is probably scrapped by now (haven't found the ad again), and was in very rough shape--but did run. I...
Going with a V8 would be easier and I've been jonesing for a V8 again (it's been a while), but I would have to do some magic with the steering to...
Motor kits from EGGE are about $2500 (about the only place I've found you can get a "kit"). Pistons can be had for around $450-600, but are the...
The motor has been for sale for over a year. I wasn't planning on spending that at the moment, but want to get the truck running. We just bought...
International SD-220.
Probably none. The head is still off the motor. That's a far cry from $2500, but part of the price is probably all the chrome goodies. So...
I found an inline 6 Im interested in, that has been rebuilt. However, it was rebuilt in 1988 and its never been fired up. The guy took the...
Thanks for the info everyone. I ran across a supposedly-rebuilt motor for a decent price, except possibly having to ship it. I don't know how...
This might be a dumb question, but... Can you use a good running motor to rebuild a locked up/bad motor? Basically, taking all the parts out of...
The state usually wipes the records after a vehicle hasn't been titled in 5 years. I already did a record search for the International, and I...
My uncle has one of those in stepside flavor sitting on the property. The motor was rebuilt shortly before it was parked, probably about 10 years...
It would be nice to have an actual running truck right now, as we could really use one (just bought our first house), and I'd like it to be vintage.
The Art Deco's I've seen for sale so far have been really expensive for just a project truck--not that I'd expect much out of this one. The...
Yeah, the delivery truck is really cool. Wanted to use it for a shop a friend and I started years ago, but never did. I believe it is a '46....
So, I'm bumping this thread because in July I am planning on bringing home one of the trucks. I thought I'd post pictures. I sent a few pictures...
Is it your only old car? If your heart's not in it and it's a good runner, why not sell it for something you would like?
