During the time when this video was shot, it had a Detroit in the rear and a Lock-Rite in the front. Now it has a Detroit in both axles.

@@pwschuh were they the stock Dana 60 and Dana 40?

@@PCSpider Stock was Dana 60 rear and Dana 44 front. Front now has GM 10 Bolt with upgraded Chromoly axles. Swapped the front so I could have disk brakes.

Nope, sorry. Mostly sits in my garage near DC. Last time it went off road was about 2 years ago, but the trail was very boring. I did get the front Dana 44 with drums swapped out for a 10 Bolt with upgraded chromoly axles so I could have front disk brakes.

@pwschuh that's awesome brother I love these big body internationals and suburbans. If you ever have a chance I guess do a walk around video

@pwschuh in the future I'd like to get one of these as a weekend family beach hauler. I'm in NY long Island so there are no trails by me but there are some beaches

Truck is on the East Coast now. Fewer opportunities for wheeling where I live. It's still doing great but mostly used for trailer towing duties now.

@pwschuh Nice. Would be cool to see an updated video on it

No. I had the lockers installed after I bought it. I did not buy the truck new, but it may have had a factory limited slip.

Stock International 16.5" rims. Tires are Goodyear 33" MTs.

Right on! Thanks for the response. I'm getting ready to put tires on my 75 200 I've been fixing up, when you did the national leaf springs did you go with longer ones and similar to what people do with the Chevy leaf spring setup with moving the mounts ? Your IH flexes nicely.

@@g.o.b.2558 To be honest, I don’t recall. It was almost 26 years ago. I gave the truck to National and told them “I want more articulation.” This is what i ended up with.

The factory leaf springs were replaced by a set of custom springs from National Spring in Santee California. They were designed for articulation and they resulted in a small lift of about 2 inches (the factory suspension was pretty tall already). The brake lines were lengthened and new Rancho shocks were installed. That is the extent of the suspension work.

Very cool , I absolutely love it . If you ever want to sell it I would love to buy it . Cheers from Canada.

Thank you. Most of the wheel travel you’re seeing is coming from the suspension design There may well be some flex in the body mounts too, but I have not yet noticed any ill effects on things like steering, etc.

@@pwschuh I was watching the frame flex up front too. You can see how much the frame twists by how much the front bumper angles back and forth relative to the body, and it's a lot. I'm no expert on this stuff and I'd expect that there's no way to prevent this motion on typical trucks this size, but it does remind me of the 1971 Travelall I used to have (stock 2wd and the lightest model they made, so therefore the off-road situations were pretty tame, mainly earthwork sites where I was doing inspections), and as it got old and more rusty (that happens out here), minor off-road situations caused the front end of the body to flex enough (much less than seen here) that it stressed the radiator too much and it start leaking. I welded a pair of diagonal braces across the radiator "gap" which helped, but the issue still concerned me. It might be something to assess. Still, this is a mighty awesome setup!

@@ericl2969 I see what you're saying about bumper moving relative to body. So far I have not had issues with any engine or frame to body connections (hoses or wires) being stressed by this. Perhaps I have just enough slack in them to compensate.

@@pwschuh I wouldn't worry at all about the things you mentioned. They'll be fine. I mentioned the radiator because if the front end of the body twists too much, the radiator be stressed, and it's not built to tolerate that. It would be neat if there were some flexible connections one could use for mounting the radiator so it would not be forced to take on stress when the body deforms a bit. Anyway, clearly you've had no trouble so far. It was just something I had some experience with years ago and so I thought I'd mention it. The truck is still awesome, no matter what.

I think that a D-Series Travelall with the straight six must be pretty unusual. I knew the engine was available but I have never seen a Travelall in person that didn't have a V-8.

The only other 6 cylinder International I saw was my uncles 1954 one ton. A neat trick with the six cylinder if you wanted to embarrass a pony or muscle car was to put the transfer case in low range, would only do about 40 miles per hour, but got there super quick.If you hit the transfer case right you could high range it and keep going, people never believed it was a small six, miss that truck a lot.

I have one. it's different.

Yes.

+nw8000 Thanks! And thanks for watching.

Thanks but sorry. Not for sale.

pwschuh I just got myself a 1971 1210 4x4 truck in medium blue metallic with the exterior trim. Looks a whole lot like yours but is a project. Would love to know what you did to your Travelall because I want to do the same stuff in my rig as you.
