hauler
I have a 1970 one ton ,4x4, 392, 4 speed. Dana 70 front RA-15 rear. It has hauled lots of stuff, including cub cadets since I bought it in 1975 with only 18,000 miles. This was my wife's grandpa's, but it was 2- wheel drive, 3/4 ton ,345, automatic. Back in 1985 I came across a like new 4 speed still mounted on a low mileage 345. At that time brucer95 (son) and I pulled out the old Borg Warner automatic and made the truck a 4-speed along with a 13" heavy duty clutch . Then about 12 or 15 years ago Bruce told me of a 1970 IH ,one ton 4x4 , for sale (cheap)so I bought it. That old ton only had just over 35,000 miles on it,but the body was really rough beens it had been used at a fertilizer plant since new. We used it as our doner ,using the axles,springs, tranfer case and drive shafts but not the 304 engine. Then a couple of years later we came across a 392 (free), and we rebuilt it and dropped it in, putting the 140,000 mile untouched 345 in retirement. I put a hydralic dump bed in in 1996 and that is real handy. The old truck has been one heck of work horse. I've been asked if I would sell it several times, but no way.
