Never worked for International but I did work on the line for General Motors for 25 plus years. I can relate to the video. Brings back good memories. Didn't appreciate it when it was happening, like most things. You don't know what yah got till it's gone.
Thanks for sharing.

Had an Uncle with a Travelall. That thing was like riding around in a football stadium.

IH was purely American, wasn't it? No foreign parts?
Super cool, Garrett! Thanks!
My granddad had a travelall a scout and a international half ton pick up when I was growing up. all were steady Eddy good running vehicles. Definitely have a soft spot in my heart for a corn binder. I learned to drive behind the wheel of that half ton. Granddad put dual exhaust with short tail pipes I love that old truck.
Puts me in mind of this.

Grew up in a Scout for a bit.
WOW! If that Jimmy on the Packard Straight 8 (in an IH no less!) doesn’t do something for you, then you’re in the wrong hobby….
It made my little tallywhacker get hard.

Yep. With a home made blower manifold for a 4-71, homemade blower drive, and a couple small block chevy headers, with homemade flanges, for a Packard flathead straight eight.
I wish it was mine, but I saw it at a small car show here in AZ.
My uncle had a '63 and a '78 Scout. Had a lot of fun in the mountains in those back when.

I had an old 47 "Binder " back in the day .If you walked in front of it with an ice cream cone in July it wouldn't start .
I love the home made blower drive with the industrial sheave shaft and bearing yoke with the jaw coupling to connect the blower. Looks like the handiwork of a millwright who is into hot rodding.

Grandpa had an International Harvester pickup that he inherited from his dad. Converted it to propane in the mid '90's and finally sold it to my cousin Kevin, who sold it in Florida somewhere I think.
He also had a IH Cadet 60 mower which I've posted here before.
And I have an International Harvester M1 Garand in the hall closet.j

Had a teacher in high school who had an IH pick 'em up truck, thinking it had a 390? I remember working on it in auto shop, then taking out for a 'road test' and getting stuck in a snow drift. In a cemetery. Several miles from the school.
