That’s a rare old girl! I grew up in Minnesota, but have lived in Texas for almost 30 years and am still amazed how many old vehicles I see down here that are in excellent condition that would have corroded completely away after about 5-10 years of Minnesota road salt! She thinks I’m going to get shot in a parking lot one day because I still walk up to so many old cars and feel around the wheel openings in amazement at the lack of any rot……..😂
This is a truck meant for work; not live as a fashion statement. Anybody who served in the US Army or Air Force in the 1960s and 1970s knows that first hand. They go anywhere and do anything. Good luck and thanks for posting.
NICE!!!! I was in high school, remember these trucks very well!!! My neighbors son was few years older and bought mid 60 international, short bed rounded fenders. He was always so easy on it no burn outs. Had exhaust with nice rumble sound always polished. He drove that truck forever!!! He was an IH tractor mechanic. Good memories
Nice truck. I'm so glad you are going to keep it as original as possible. I had a 72 Scout with the 345 and the 4:27 limited slip differentials. The dash of your truck reminded me of mine. Incredible it's a MN survivor! Thanks for the video.
I wish I had the $$$$ I would restore it like the day it rolled off the assembly line in Fort Wayne Indiana that truck deserves a frame off rotisserie rebuild good luck with it Thankyou for shareing it with us
I had nearly the same roof damage on mine. Way easier to fix the roof than replacing the skin IMO. Working with real steel is the difference. In a modern body shop they can do a lot of PDR without messing up the paint. The Door can be made functional again but not perfectly straight with this method. My trucks box was also crushed in the building collapse which is a real bummer. Good luck from South Dakota!
When you could use the rear bumper to push trees over, straighten bent steel posts, not worry about backing up to a loading dock, as long as the tail gate is up or taken off.
Great video. I love IH. I drive to IA City from IL for Doctors. There is a 50s IH truck setting under a shade tree. Covered in surface rust. I always say HI IH when we go by. Good luck with your project.
I had a 2wd 74 IH100 with AMC 401 2bbl and the 2wd that year used Dodge indepemdent front suspension to replace the beam axle. I was a 16 year old when dad got it cheap and I learned alot rebuildimg engine, trans, rear diff, a/c compressor, starter and alternator in the first 2 years.
Are you sure the suspension was made by Dodge? The suspension of these IHC trucks was pretty unique and did not share parts with any other brand that I was aware of. But as I think about it (it was a long time ago), there was a vague similarity to the coil-spring setup that Dodge used in those days (and for a long time after). Still, I'm pretty sure it was not the same as I was familiar with both of those brands of trucks back then. And by the way, the 100 truck replaced the 1010 model, and the 1010 model had torsion-bar independent suspension, so the suspension in your truck's case was not a replacement of the I-beam axle. That comment would have been correct if your truck had been a 150, because the 150 replaced the 1110, which DID use an I-beam axle (as did the 1200 and 1300 series trucks).
I had a 74 100. It was all green, the exact same green on this truck. It was real low mileage. 3 speed auto with 304. It would come out of first gear at 5 miles an hour. 2wd
A few years ago I ran across a guy who was using a model 1210 IHC pickup for his little business, even all winter long here in southern Wisconsin. I got the impression that he seeks out old IHCs in preference to buying any other brand, new or old. Those trucks are scarcer than hen's teeth, and I asked him if he was concerned about having them rust out prematurely due to winter driving. He replied that has no problems with rust because he had come up with a rustproofing method that beats anything else out there. He dilutes roofing tar with kerosene and sprays it on every metal surface, including inside the doors and inside boxed body members (via drilled holes). He said that diluting it with kerosene is the key, allowing the material to seep into the crevices between welded body sections. For the sake of his ultra-rare trucks, I hope he's right about how well that method works.
That cruise control is likely factory option. IH used Dana sourced cruise control if I remember correctly. In any event that is the same cruise stalk as found as available on 75 and later models. Anti skid rear brakes were an option in 75, these things were well ahead of the big 3 offerings.
@@Nicksvintageiron Cool, I guess Sears likely sourced the unit from Dana as well. Check out Old Car Brochures, lots of cool info. Grew up in a family and neighborhood that most worked at Scout plant in the 70s. The key is the slide to resume feature.
IHC was the innovator of a great many features of "modern" pickups. They were the first to put mount the fuel tank to the frame instead of having it behind the seatback, the first to provide one-handed operation of the tailgate latch, the first to offer a 5-speed transmission, and the 5-speed was available as either standard or overdrive (IHC was also the first company to offer overdrive). They were even the first to offer an automatic transmission with a locking torque converter, but that was way back in about 1963 and the feature wasn't continued much beyond that time so I think that was probably an idea from Borg-Warner that was too far ahead of its time to catch on. There are a few additional "firsts" that I can't remember just now.
I had a 3 ton IH same vintage with same basic cab except plain jane interior, standard trans. Dually with pto and dump it was a grain truck. Rotted right to death cab practically fell off it. Those dents any old school body shop can pound and pull those back to new. Body shop 101.
Aw man, I think you can get away with only replacing the door and the roof skin. A stud-welder and slide-hammer, or something to pull the studs, will eradicate all of the large dings enough for minimal filler work. Then I would just spot-repair the paint, and it would still be a >80% original paint truck! I love this truck! When I was a little kid around 1971, the Greers, who lived around the corner from me, had one just like this, but it was red and white and I believe 2WD.
Sadly, IHC was a bloated, cash-strapped company in the '70s into the early '80s, add to that a massive union strike and bad management! So ihc had to start chopping and selling divisions/products until Navistar was left in 85!
My dad always loved international pick ups. He drove them all the time. What great memories.

Wow, that is a clean truck!
Thanks!

They were such tough trucks. I've seen many airforce issued internationals throughout the years. Luckily this one was lucky and lived an easy life

Very cool!
Nice pick up
So rare to see these now even at car meets. Very nice!
Thank you very much!

Love it. Picked up a 1961 C110 about 6 weeks ago.

I disagree. I think it's a great example of an original survivor even with the damage or when the damage is fixed
@@Nicksvintageiron Yep, they are only original once, and this one is very nice for a 74 and should remain as original as possible.
I believe the light-duty trucks were made in Springfield Ohio! The scouts were in Fort Wayne!

I've been looking for one of those. I'd love to have a 401 powered truck or travelall

Nice truck. Love the IH brand. They don't last around my neck of the woods, too much salt on winter roads.
Same here in MN. This one juat got super lucky and the original owner preserved it for 45 years very well

Yeah I think the fender won't need a ton of work.
I had a 64 1200 with a 266 in it 4 speed
Heck yeah! Tough old trucks
You must have a super cool wife!
She's alright 😍
Contact a good oaintless dent removal guy can probably fix some of the small dents.
