Heavy Metal ......Truck!

[ibmorjamn]

So I've had this truck going on 2 years, actually 2 trucks. 1st truck is A 73 1210 IH 4 x 4 with a 4 speed stick.
The second one is a 1975 1110 D150 with auto. International Harvester. Both have 345 V8's.
The 75 is my keeper with factory power steering, air , auto trans and front disc brakes.

The 73 is now a donor.
I bought a bed for the 75 off a 70 IH. Neither of the beds I had were in good shape.

Last week on Saturady I drove 3 hours one way to pick up the 1970 bed.
Bed on bed:

I got some black wheels "D" windows to accommodate my tires from the other truck that are new. I don't even know how but they arrived while my woman was shopping . I was just going to let them show up at the door but either way she will see them.
Not really hiding them (?)
Got to get them mounted.

Very cool. The older trucks never lose the appeal to me

International trucks are tough.

International trucks are tough.

Indeed, made to pull. I have seen a number used to push snow plows.
