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

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

Well then you have one of the fast Internationals of that time. Better than the B series Macks which were about 45 MPH.

Some of you might know I had a Jeep FC150 cab over which I sold a couple of years ago because it was so slow I could barely keep up with traffic on secondary roads. I used to pull over so the line of traffic behind me could pass. F head 4 cyl 72hp 5:38 gears. It was like driving a lawn tractor. The final straw was when I was leaving a cruise and a Model T blew my doors in. :gears

Speaking of Jeeps the old J10 got a work out this morning. I only had to dig it out once today but it was buried pretty good.

J10 that is old school. We had a bunch of the j20's and my favorite style the earlier gladiator version. The one thing I did not like was the quadratic system which was the worst.
