I'm interested in this, but you know how it goes....too far away. Also that 1958 Panel wagon is 3 hours left with still only $281 Another that I'd like to have. Did I say I'm looking for a panel? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=012

I'm pacing back and forth trying to decide. I have been wanting a KB panel more than any other though. I seen the one I linked, and then I got an email notice about the '58 time expiring. How many times have we all gone through this?

That KB would make a sweet ride. I know what you mean about the agony. It's how I've ended up with a pasture full of project trucks - haven't met one I didn't like!

Your either the nicest person alive or we have to believe you first Post.
You would drive from MT to WV then back to MT just to see Havi buy this thing?

Gotta love it.

No, I'm nice but I'm not THAT nice. The 58 referred to is just up the road from me. Havi is on his own with the WV panel - he's half the distance from it that I am. I'll leave West Virginny for you, Dick.

Brian, KB is International's designation for trucks like Ford uses F1/2/3 etc. Int'l had KB1, KB3, KB5 etc. Generally the same designations 1/2 - 3/4 - 1 ton..........

Brian,
I was just being a smart-alek. International trucks are commonly refered to as Cornbinders or Binders. I believe its alluding to the fact that International is better known for making tractors, threshers, etc

I had known about the trucks being designated as KB but until tonight it never crossed my mind to spell corn with a K

The old 'binders are interesting trucks
Bobby

lol, All this, because I have a couple IH v8's laying out back, and I don't want to crossbreed them with any other truck. I am just not right.

I live near Milton, WV. I believe it is about a 45 min drive from where I live hear in Ashland, KY. It could be closer to a 1hr if you drive right. If I can get away from work I could try to work it out to take a look at it.

Don't beat yourself up over it. The wife is now home, so all current wishing has ceased.
