Tough enough

Dodge offering to compete with the Jeeps, Internationals and Chevy Suburbans of the era. 50's styling carry over, truck chassis, 1966 was last year it was offered. I think some of the only options were heater, interior roof mounted Philco radio, hubcaps.

This dark green one was recently featured on Jay Leno's garage.

I’ve always really liked the style of the studebaker trucks. They just have their own unique flare that is really cool. I don’t see them that often even here in the desert. But boy let me tell you when I do see one, it catches my attention everytime.

[special-K]

Those were so cool. Town Wagon! They did 4wd Town Panels, too. That middle picture could be my friend's Wagon's twin

[special-K]

Same here. I first saw them bopping around in the Northwest in the '70s. All the cool 4wds you can think of you saw running around every day

I figure this is worth mentioning, last week May 8th 2022 Fred Ward aka Earl Bassett from the cult movie "Tremors" passed away. That movie came out at a time when I was into Jeeps....I was on my 2nd J-20 I had owned along with quite a few CJs a Commando and lastly a CJ-8 Scrambler. Had some nice rigs back then but none compared to that ratty old stepside. I always had intensions of building a clone to it right down to those Desert Dogs but could never find the right bed. Rest in Peace Earl, you will be missed.

[special-K]

Cool truck for sure. I'm sorry to hear he has passed on. I never had a Jeep before, but have always liked the Willys, Gladiators, and whole J-series trucks.

Tough to pretty they all look good! My how things have changed in the truck world

I've been looking for an IH swb 1110 (1/2 ton, 4wd) for several years since meeting a buddy that's an IH nut who has one. His is green and white two tone and I was in love at first site. SWB 4x4 are hard to find but found one a few weeks back and it was delivered last Friday. Runs good, needs a lot of little things that I'll get to over the next several years. Plan is to preserve it...probably lift about 2" and add 33's on period correct rims. The rims on it are factory but slots or turbines will look better.

Nice looking truck.

That’s an awesome score. Those internationals are really cool. I see them around here once in a while. I actually see more pickups than scouts which seems kinda weird to me. I always thought the scouts were more popular.

Thanks guys. I finally got a chance to actually look it over for more than 5 minutes tonight. It has some rust along the tops of both rockers and into the floor that I'll need to fix but besides that it's a really dry (rust free) truck. As little rust as possible and unmolested is what I look for and I'm happy with this one.

Lots of weird things I've never seen on other makes so it's fun seeing how tractor engineers designed trucks.

[special-K]

You get the nicest 4wds. You have a great gathering. I've always liked those late IHs amd a short bed is really rare.

[special-K]

Corn binder . IH didn't skimp, that's for sure. Rust has been a deterrent for me with these trucks. You found a good one. I can't recall if I showed this '67 truck a friend was working on for a regular classic car customer. He brought it to our local ATHS chapter summer picnic last year. Later on I got to see him tooling down I-70 in it on his way to return it to the Eastern Shore

drool............

IH called their crew cabs Travelettes which I always thought was a funny name. That one looks to be in incredible shape. Very nice.

I'm a diehard GM guy but I find it very interesting to see how other companies designed/engineered their trucks when compared to GM and that's what draws me to these "off brands". Overall, GM had a superior product, but there are little things with other brands I sometimes feel is better then how GM did it. Ford rockers are open at the bottom, had much better designed structural inner fenders, better door latches, and had a very nice riding coil spring/trailing arm front suspension (4x4). IH used beefy door hinges that never wear out. But then you look at the electrical system in a Dodge truck from the same era for example and are reminded of how well GM did a lot of things.

That's an awesome truck and love the correct Belleview winch. Curious if the Warn bumper is IH specific or a later style trimmed back?? Either way it looks really good and fits the truck perfect.

I just looked it up, that sold for 80K

[special-K]

That's a really nice one

I think I showed this already, but since we were talking swb IH 4wds I wanted to put this fine example up. Rare trucks

I like that a lot!

[special-K]

This would look good with tall skinnies. It was for sale at Carlisle last weekend

Looks like a nicely optioned shortbed

The Dodge showed up Sunday and made the 3 mile drove home from the truck stop where I met the auto transporter. It's a 318 with a Carter two barrel and it was running pretty poorly. I've made that drive several times with long distance purchases and this drive was definitely one of the ones I was unsure if I would make it. But I made it so happy about that.

This truck is very original with a claimed 60K on it which seams believable. Rather than driving it apparently spent most of it's time sitting in a high altitude sun which destroyed the paint. It's very rust free and straight so it might be a repaint candidate which usually isn't my style but the truck may deserve it as the original paint is just too far gone.

As far as options, it's a '79 with manual windows and no AC so compared to a Chevy of the era it's pretty spartan. I'm not in love with the quad headlight grill so I may think about swapping to a '78 single round headlight grill but probably won't unless the quad headlights really start to bug me, or I find all of the parts I need a reasonable distance from home. To swap to the single round headlight grill includes a core support and lower filler panel swap so it's pretty involved. Might as well add the "birdbath" hood from the earlier years while I'm at it also.

Hopefully I'll have time to tinker with the 318 in the coming week to see if I can get it to run right. The PO said it ran well and I saw a video of it prior to purchasing so I'm wondering if it's the ~2,000 ft elevation drop between where it's from and here or something else. Seems like carburetion is the issue.

Overall, I'm very happy with it. It's different!

[special-K]

I like the old original paint thing, too, but there is a point where a paint job is called for. This truck is an "easy restoration". That's what I call such survivors. They go either way, easy restoration or "run and repair as you go".

I always seem to like the earlier version of a design. So, the '72 style grille is my favorite. The quad lights don't bother me any more than single light in that grille style. It is what it is and that isn't awful
