Re: Forest Service Trucks

I've got one, not a GM though or very attractive. 1961 international travelette. Originally a Ellsworth AFB truck, then forestry service, then fire department then my neighbors wheel barrow for 20 years.

Re: Forest Service Trucks

That's quite a resume the Travelette worked up- what are your plans for it?

It's actually my wife's truck, she fell in love with the ugly thing. I bought it cause I had a trade lined up for a 56 big back window Chevy. I keep changing plans. I told her if we keep it I wanted it GM, ford or Dodge powered and suspension so parts would be cheap and easier to find. I originally bought an 03 crown Vic front end and mustang 8.8 for it, then I bought an 06 Chevy crew cab frame to swap it onto. Now I'm thinking about square body axles and springs and make it 4x4. I don't really like them lowered or stock height. But I might change my mind tomorrow...

Re: Forest Service Trucks

Funny now I have the Lil Blazer in Forest Service livery the wife reminded me of this one she saw back in 2020. So there are or were 2 of them running around town.

There's quite a few Cornbinders in this thread.

That frontend is a lot better looking, the dash looks a lot better too.

Haven't heard the term "Cornbinder" since the '70s! I remember putting a water pump on one back in the '70s. So many fasteners on all the sheet metal that comprised the fan shroud. Swore me off of Internationals right there, it did. It took a couple of hours to replace that water pump. Most vehicles, it's a 45 minute job. Then there are those mid-'60s F***s with that army of long studs mounting all the ancillary equipment to the front of the engine. And don't get me started on their cam and lifter changes over the years. Working in a general repair shop, I've gotten bit on those changes. #DIEHARDCHEVY

My dads cousin had one of them in a Travelall, he swore by that thing until it needed a carburetor... $400 plus back in the 70's. One of a kind made just for it.

Re: Forest Service Trucks

IH Trucks were a bear for parts. That's the only reason I stayed away. You needed the build sheet to by parts by. They used different jobbers in different regions. But those trucks were build better than any of the rest. Over-built in comparison

Re: Forest Service Trucks

I have a friend that has several IHCs. Here are three of them. I have another friend that has a lot more than anyone around. He's building a '42 right now. We call him the Scout guy.
