non operational brakes, well they wouldn't have stopped me was the problem

you have no idea how tempted I was to put a 5 gal jug of fuel on the roof and gravity feed the carb just to take it for a spin

Small update: The engine runs, it is a bottle baby right now. I need to clean the rear tank for sure and run fuel lines as it looks like there were some drunken shenanigans that happened with the fuel system at some point (the fuel lines from the tank to the selector look right but after that...

You're welcome

I got the front hubs freed up last night! I was worried I would have to replace them and being as they are the original IH locking hubs it will keep me looking a little more stock

blue and rust

The wife and I finally found a project vehicle we can agree on me building. Everyone meet "Big Betty" as my wife named her. The old girl is a 1972 International Travelall 1210 (it's a 3/4 ton). Engine: 345ci international V8 Transmission: 727 Chrystler Transfer Case: Dana 20 Front Axle: Dana...

I've never seen one burn down, I have seen them have a head crack around ~210k. given that was a truck we used for work at the airport including towing some 12-14k trailers around. congrats on the new truck sorry to hear about the old.

Yeah, they will most likely just have a team of Chinooks sling them out. Between the relative light weight of a Hawk (~16k) and the lift capacity of a hook with the lowish altitude and low ambient temps it isn't even a strain on them. I'm more surprised they screwed the pooch on the PL due to a...

I cut my finger open with a 12" knife while talking and making kindling for a fire in Yellowstone a few years ago. Spent 4 days there (in a tent so no running water) came home and took off the bandage to find nearly black blood oozing out with a smell to match. Went to instacare to get it...

Keep it slammed, but go super wides on the back, and tiny skinny tires up front. Let people think it’s a 5 second truck. https://www.ebay.com/p/691301839 throw this on it so people really think its a 5 second truck :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

with it being on '05 it should be a 30v, so more power and a little better mpgs than the old 20v. Tires are likely 285/75r17 based off the rough inches you said. Unless you trust the maintenance that has been done on the truck I would put new sparkies in it, and if it is an automagic I highly...

doesn't look like the tierods are any bigger than on a standard bronco...

it identifies as a Dodge 3500 dually Cummins. Who are you to question it?
