Need to get a pair of round headlights for the plow. I have to check my shop I may have a pair of period correct plow lights for you.

I thought the same. Round plow lights would look cool.

When I find them I will send them up to you. The main thing is that if you tried to run the truck in the stock apearing class we are going to have to disqualify you for not have origional style plow lights. :sick

ralph, my brother bob is the truck guru of the family, and he loves it!

he said be careful , as you cant get new parts anymore....glass, good sheet metal, etc. are hard to find or non existant!

no salt or rain and keep indoors PLEASE! :agree

I told him you are fussy with your vehicles and he was happy to hear it...

he's as wacky about trucks as we are about our cars...anyway, we will get some pixs up of ours soon :aok

enjoy!

Well that goes without saying typical 70's sheet metal where it started to rust on the assembly line. The only thing that rusted faster were the 73-79 C and K series pickups and blazers. Also we found the origional style plow lights. Ralph you can have them, just PM me with your address and I will send it to you.

Nice lookin truck Ralph, but how would it match up with my tire shreading torque monster 68 Jeep J4000 with the 455cu in Buick? I think not.

That International probably outweighs me with the dump body verus my stake body but my Jeep dually can surely out power it. I was thinking more like a 1/4 mile contest. :sick

Plus Ralph would have to stop half way to change a diaper, not the babies, his!

Knowing these trucks well, he would need to stop 1/2 way to get fuel :lol:

Boy there's some truth to that. I used the Jeep to tow my racecar to New England Dragway once. I had to fill up three times and got about 6mpg (20 gallon tank 4:88 gears)

Spot on. I used to have the old loadstar international dump trucks with the V8 gas job and a B series mack and definitely the one thing they could not pass was a gas station

This IH is not built for speed. With the high gear in it I would be lucky to get to 65MPH on the interstate. Hal you win :bow
