Again, with the Montana vehicles in remarkable shape. This one has car hauler written all over it.

I love those curved dash IHs. For one one of the "non big three" their sheet metal had a lot of detailed stamping in those years.

 

I have to wonder if there is any parts support for those? It's a beauty, for sure.

 

Oooh, I want one of those! If I ever build another COE, it will be a binder. There are a couple of those local to me that I'm keeping an eye on.

That one in the ad is about 150 miles from me. Really nice truck.......hmmmmm.

 

150 miles? That's just around the corner in Montana, right Scott?

 

Two hours driving would be nothing compared to the bodyworking time you'd save with that clean a body... just thinking out loud...

 

Man, you're good at this enabling stuff.

 

The only bad thing about keeping an eye on something is you gotta blink sooner or later. When you do it's gone. Better get the checkbook before you blink.

 

Yup, just down the road!

Luckily my trailer is buried in the snow......so I have an excuse NOT to buy it...

 

So those pictures weren't taken yesterday?
The auction doesn't end until Sunday and he says he won't close it early. That gives you plenty of time to get your trailer out of the snow.

I'm surprised he didn't take the time to look into the engine a little bit. If he could get it started, I think it would increase the value.

Scott, when you get it home, be sure to video you starting the engine up. We are looking forward to your progress on this one.

 

Nope, not gonna happen......I'm truck poor right now. No fun money.

Those pics could be recent.....that area has a totally different climate.
Where I live is not quite the end of the world......but you can see it from here!

 

I'm sure the seller can hold the truck for you until the snow metls and your trailer is unburied.

 

Sure is tempting....wish I was rich and could buy all of these old trucks when they pop up....
Gotta think big picture though. With that same 2k I can finish my current project and maybe put some gas in it. LOL

 

Sorry to help with the enabling, that is one fine and HEALTHY truck. It would be a shame for one of you not to end up with it at that price. I have the funds,but not you guys skill or patience. If I could do what ya'll do and save me a **** load of $ on mechanical and paint and body,I would be all over this. Hope it goes to a good home,L8R ZFLASH
