Re: New Ride
It is very solid. Almost no cancerous rust anywhere which is really surprising since it spent it's whole life in Utah. I am new to the IH realm but the motor is a 304 that runs almost perfect and has never been rebuilt. Odo shows 75k and since it was possibly a forest service truck that could be accurate. Trans is a 4 speed manual but I haven't found out what kind yet. Transfer case is a np202. Gears are 4.88 stock with 6x19.5 wheels. Tires stand at about 35 inches and 8 inches wide.
I don't plan to lift or anything at this point. I have to get glass all the way around and do a few other minor things to get it road worthy. It will look a little taller once I replace all the non-existant body bushings.
