See this is why we need you back, for truck stories
Travelette is to keep half your stuff dry without a camper and the travel all is meant to keep safe and dry all the way through.
My first 4x4 experience was when I was about a freshman in high school. My had an early '70s IH Travelall that he'd bought as a work vehicle for his materials testing lab. (Testing soil, concrete, asphalt, etc. It spent a lot of time on construction sites.) I went with him one summer afternoon to go help a bunch of people who'd gotten stuck in mud trying to leave my grandparents' church camp in the mountains. There were cars and 2wd trucks stuck in the shallow ditches on both side of the road. We got to the first stuck vehicle and dad hooked up a chain between it and the Travelall and drove into the ditch on the other side of the road. I knew for sure we'd be stuck. I was wrong, lol. He drove straight through the ditch and up the other side like it was nothing. It was at that moment I understood the allure of having four wheel drive. We worked our way though a half dozen or so vehicles until we made it to the camp, and the Travelall didn't even break a sweat. I've subsequently owned at least one 4x4 vehicle for most of my adult life.
Man , I didn't know I could come up with so many questions ( phew ) , thanks for answering them all !
The Chevy thing ? Might you be talking about the Suburban that started back in 1936. If yes it been around a tiny bit longer than the Cornbinder Travelall that started in 1953.
Loved story time with Ben. Great stories behind your vehicles, I enjoyed hearing about them. Hope you're successful in selling your vehicles, then you can buy more! Good to see another video up from you. Stay safe and GOD bless
When I was in high school back in the 80s I worked at a shell station with a guy that drove a late 50 early 60 international panel truck that his father had driven all over the world he even had a story about the truck traveling across Africa when the truck was almost new. His father was a archeologist and it served as the lead expedition truck that he lived out of.
Both the Travelette and the Travelall would make great camping rigs . I would put a utility bed on the Travelette to store gear in tents grills etc. nice video . 🙂
she did jump in the rear of the truck, did a photobomb, and then got down. So cute.
Rainy day
Just ran across your channel
Love the content
Love the shop
Even though I am older
As a reminder
I can be adopted.....
Turns out I too was at the IH fall rally
Perhaps next year I will say hi
I truly enjoy the stories behind every truck you talk about...!!!!
Love hearing your Thoughts Truck Story
I really enjoyed this Ben. I love the back stories on anyone’s hot rod, truck, restoration, etc. Now, fire up the heaters and get to work.
Great video. I had two 73 Travelalls in the late 70's. Lived in the Adirondack's.with tons of snow. Had two wheel drive and drove thru snow bumper deep no problem. In the spring the exhaust system started coming off from mounts. Also had a 73 International 0ne ton pu with 4 wheel drive for plowing snow. Great vehicles, but salt ate them up in less then 10 years.
When I was a boy and my dad worked at IH in Springfield, Ohio my parents bought a new '66 Travelall, sold it to my uncle when they bought a new '68 Travelall, and sold that to my Godparents when they bought a new '70 Travelette with a full bed and put a camper on it. I never knew it as a Travelette though until a few years ago when I heard the name - my folks always just called it a six passenger pickup and boy they were rare in private owners hands back then unlike today when almost all pickups have four doors. Like you, Ben, I'm partial to the Travelalls and Travelettes though I haven't owned one since the late '70's.
The Wagonmaster. It was a Travelall with the top cut off behind the rear seat and a pickup window welded in place to close it in. I put instrument panels in the Travelall from 72 thru 75 on second shift. I had the driver side and Doug Skinner did the passenger side, we ran a unit every three minutes. My station was the only one who had a line stop button if we had any issues. Good times and money when IH wasn't on strike which seemed like often. My first two years I hung the steel door panel on the pickup line.
Good to see you back, Ben. Very informative and interesting stories. Sometime it would be nice if you gave us a similar talk on the binder gas tank and filler locations. I see some filers at the back of cab and some at the front fenders (both right and left). Would be nice to learn the differences and what models came with what. Always enjoy your vids! Please keep them coming!
The Chevrolet Suburban is the longest running nameplate in automotive history.
Although the squarebodied Suburban was debuted in the 70’s, Chevrolet has been offering a truck based wagon they called the Suburban Carryall since the mid 30’s. It was available with 4WD by the mid 50’s, and continued to evolve with their trucks through the years. I very nearly, and still wish I had, bought a mostly restored ‘68 Suburban a couple years back.
I remember at one point, the Suburbans were only 3 doors. :)
@@rickmarshall808 for curbside only passenger loading
@@rickmarshall808 Yes and so were the Travelalls. But in ‘69 International modernized their design and added the 4th door. Chevy/GMC didn’t do so until 1974.
Great video, I would love to have either a travelette, or a travel all, I watch you religiously hoping to see one in good shape.
Talk all you want, I've heard the story and I still watched the whole thing. I always enjoy looking at those trucks and hearing the storied. One of these day I'll get one, or three.
I could feel the Casey vibe. I love the stories of the trucks. Yours is a real beaut.
Great story, Ben. When you were telling the story of the stolen parts, crossed my mind that you were one of the teens that stole them, sold them and knew where to go to steal them back. 😆
Or else the "scrap" the kids sold just hung around where they sold it, or Ben caught up to it.
There was a Travelall sitting in our crazy old neighbor's backyard for decades.
I prefer the standard metal door panels. Looks cooler.
Loved watching and listening to your story's!
The rebuild is so far better than any newer truck, no electronics to break down or give trouble.
Pretty simple, one's the Station Wagon, the other is a Pick up, thanks for sharing, and spending the time to explain, yours is a nice looking truck/Ute ,all the best to you and your loved ones
My paternal grandfather was super into internationals before he died. I never met him so I appreciate the chance to learn about something he loved.
As a novice to the whole international pickup truck, I appreciate your well thought out description of the difference between travelette vs. Travelall. I've always been a fan of international harvester tractors and I have even riding in a international scout and enjoyed how it drove down the road and its only been recently that I have found a new appreciation for these pickup trucks, so with that being said I 'am now a new subscriber to your channel on UA-cam. So howdy from Texas ( I live just north of Austin). Thanks again
Travelette...is a pickup...
Nice workmanship on the video, good flow & fun. & still love the stories, looking forward to you adding to them, both the stories & the trucks! Thanx !
I'm kinda hoping to see a camper on your Travelette, ha ha ha. I had a 1967 TravelALL that was quite rusty - the handbrake was stuck solid. One winter day I hit some slushy snow and this lump exploded under the rubber mat beside the gas pedal.
I love hearing the "stories" of all the trucks! I find it very interesting when a vehicle has a story behind it to give it some history. it makes the truck more significant! I have a few vehicles of my dads from him passing that have a story to them. One of them is a 1962 Chevy Nova that he had bought back in the 70s, later sold in 1982. I just bought that same car back in 2020, it has a long and interesting story. Another one is 1956 Ford F-350 with a 9ft step side bed that was factory. The truck still has the original owners name on the side of it. My stories tend to be like yours and get a little long, but after people hear them, they are fascinated by the story and the history of them. Great job with the videos Ben, keep them coming!
One of your best videos Ben
Thanks for the overview. This has been quite nostalgic for me since I have been interested in Travelall's since my parents were trying to choose between an early 70's model and a '72 3 door Suburban in 1975 to upgrade from our '63 F-250 with a walk-in cover, benches, and a boot from the cab. I was rooting for the Travelall, but our business had a good year, so they splurged and ordered a brand new '76 3/4 ton Suburban that they had for over 20 years. We owned a service station and were "Ford" people and got teased about having a Chevy. Just before my dad died in 1990, he discovered the Centurion C-150/350 "Four Door Broncos" and searched to be able to finally be able to have his Ford "Suburban/Travelall". He didn't live long enough to fulfill his dream, but I was able to by owning a '89 Magnum Bronco, a '94 Centurion C-150, a '94 Centurion C-350 diesel (which I still own), and a '00 diesel Excursion. Hopefully my family will treasure the memories of our trips in these as much as I did in my parent's Suburban.
We had a ‘69 Travelall that my Dad brought brand new in ‘69. It was a great truck but rust killed in only 6 years (we live in Michigan). We did not get A/C but we did have the deluxe interior. Ours was 2WD, Automatic, Pwr Brks. It became the primary transporter of our Marching Band’s big Drums!!
Thank you Ben, Love the IH history!
Pick up vs. Wagon
Thank you for the video.
Love the story
Great story and great find when you did
Yes,good video, interesting etc great stories
Very informative video, 👏 thanks for bringing us along on the tour of these rigs
That was the best it was not to long and I can't wait to hear the next one if there are any.
Great truck stories.
Your trucks looks good and I see just how awesome it can look when you finish it. I recently found out about International Harvester pickup trucks here on youtube and it is now one of my favorites. I thought International Harvester only made farm equipment. I like the travelette crew cab the most and I hope to own one. But in the meantime I have created a 3D version of the travelette that I will be uploading to my channel soon. I came to your 406garage website to look at travelettes to get the details right for my 3D version.
N ice " Travel all is long rigid rig , commonly known as SUV Carrier, I liked it personally the Travel all . Okay ! . then when it comes to Travelettes , it a long rigid rid too , but when it comes travelettes it's a long Pickup with four and a long Pickup bed . Travelettes I liked it too in second ! . Once second thanks a lots to helping us to maked the differences ! . I liked yours it's a Travelettes for instance, if I am not mistaken ! . Once second thanks again ! . .
When I was a kid we had a 73 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive travelall I still love that thing, we also had a 72 1/2 ton pickup at the same time they were great rigs.
Ones a truck,.ones an SUV/tuck based wagon
Travel all is shorter
Both are awesome
The way Lucy jumps into ALL trucks........
You could get someone to stitch puppy paws on the lower cushion seats !
🤔 😁
I love the stories man keep them up please very cool.
My dad still has his IH 1956 S120 4x4 pickup. That was the first engine I helped him rebuild. He adapted a PTO winch from an M37 on the front. It runs from a PTO on the transfer case.
Good friend of mine has his grandpa's 75 international he bought new vary low mileage truck having rear end problems will tell him about swapping rear ends thanks for the info
You've got a great channel you and Casey's vids together are my favorite. You are making me an international lover, your truck is amazing jumped online and looked at some of the build pics the fab work is fantastic. I know you're a busy man but a video dedicated to what's been done to your truck would be fantastic and obviously a very detailed video upon completion would be great to see
What beautiful crewcabs!
Back in the late 60s neighbor had a 2nd travelall he bought new pulled his fishing boat with it
My uncle had a 56 and 61 Travelall when I was a kid,
I had a 66 travelette that belonged to Weyrhauser lumber as a crew truck back in the day.. I kept it til 2003.. it was completely rusted out and beat to pieces when I sold it
Great story, what a find!
Great job videoing and editing very entertaining enjoyed the history lesson 🙃
BUILD SERIES OF YOU FINISHING YOUR TRAVELETTE
🙏🙏🙏
That was very informative
Another great video Ben.
Excellent video
I have a 1964 Travelette 1100 that I purchased 20 plus yrs ago as a 2wd half ton and converted to a 3/4 ton 4wd I used a dodge front axle and an international rear and converted to four wheel disc brakes
This was fun to watch. You did good👍🏻
I used to have a IH called a Wagonmaster, the truck in-between the Travelall and the Travelette. Have you ever heard of the Wagonmaster or had one? I think it was an interesting bit of IH history and might make a good video. Mine had the deluxe options 392 auto and all the rust International was known for. I always liked the odd vehicles, IH, Jeeps and Pontiacs. Good job keeping the cornbinders alive.
FINALLY, you refreshed my memory of the Wagonmaster. It was a Travelall with the top cut off behind the rear seat and a pickup window welded in place to close it in. I put instrument panels in the Travelall from 72 thru 75 on second shift. I had the driver side and Doug Skinner did the passenger side, we ran a unit every three minutes. My station was the only one who had a line stop button if we had any issues. Good times and money when IH wasn't on strike which seemed like often.
We had a round hood Travalette 2x4 at my fire station. It was a Forestry loan whicn means it came from the military. Our AFB had many of these since we had the Titan II missile silos. We used that truck as our trash truck. I loved driving it to the dump. I learned to drive on my uncles single cab IHC pickup and wish I would have bought it at his sale. I know where an old 62 or 63 Scout is setting in the weeds. It is a 2x4 so I did not buy it years ago. I have been thinking of getting it and get the kids to rebuild it at school. It is probably too expensive to upgrade it to 4x4.
This was very cool. thanks
I would like to see a video series on your truck build
My dad had an old scout when I was growing up. Later my mom bought another scout that was at one point used by the u.s. postal service that was brought here from Europe because it was right hand drive.
YOu should do more of these videos ... and .. dog .. could use a ride everytime you spend 20 minues in a truck going nowhere !!!
Love to own one of those crew cabs
I am starting to like the
The yellow Traveall should be yours and Casey's ride for the March trip. Should get a magnetic sign for the door to advertise your garage?
good job well done thanks
Surprisingly enough, I already knew the difference. Being in Maine, we use way too much salt on the roads in the winter, and they make hens teeth look plentiful. Glad to see you post this, I'd been wondering if things were OK with you, and then I saw you on Casey's video....
Thank you , all good here , just busy. 😁
Hey Ben !!! Don't know how long Casey's ""Rollback "" will be down so think you guys should load up the " Green Forest Ranger 4 X 4 "" on your International & take it to the Wrecker Olympics in March !! Thanks for the explanation of the differences in the 2 "ALLS"" !! HAHA 🤔🙄🙄👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
Great story.
Maybe in a couple years I'll have some money saved up and I can get a travelall from you. If I get a truck I don't mind working on it to make it run better. I love to car camp and I love the reliability of old vehicles. My Grandpa started with international rigs too so I have a thing for internationals.
Ben you need to do more videos and some working on the trucks to
The one that looks a lot like a suburban is the travel all. The pickup version is a 4 door.
Nice
What were the international trucks that were crew cab, short bed "trucks" that didn't have detached beds? You know like the honda ridgeline or these new little santa cruz grocery getters you see today.
I own 1 of each; '71 1210 T'all and '66 1100A T'ette. The Travelall is 2WD, PS, PB, Auto, 392 and really rusty.
The Travelette is 2WD, 4 spd, 304 with a short-wide box, 140" WB.. It has the usual cowl rot that I am trying to determine how to deal with. The rest of the truck is straight with very little rust. I have decided to move forward with making it drivable and will just drive it in dry weather. The original owner resided in California and had the rear overload springs removed, along with the radio and antenna. The antenna mount is still in the fender with the whip removed. Also removed was the heater and the 3.73 powerlock rear axle. I am not sure yet what rear axle is in it yet. I have the original LST with the removed items crossed off.
ua-cam.com/video/jeQkcrRLTXY/v-deo.html this guy has some interesting ways of dealing with rust, if you have a mig and a grinder it’s not really that hard.
The travelall looks more similar to the 67-72 suburban to me.
I like em all.
I daily a square body burb.
When I was a kid we'd hunt with a rancher out in the middle of nowhere between burns and John day that hunted out of his dark blue 70s travelall. That old thing would haul a whole team of people and go damn near anywhere but it was like driving a soup can around
Travelette= Lette's you haul big stuff. Travelall= All enclosed
Looks like the Travelette has a longer wheelbase, at least the 8ft box does.
How about the difference between a traveler and a travel all? I had a very nice traveler in the mid 90s. Miss it...
In the Philippines, ive' seen a Travelete truck a 1961 year model parked at the US Embassy in Manila...in the year 1990. I asume it could be still running up to now.."
I prefer the Traveler's... Lol
In the 90's I had 3 of them and 3 Scout II's and they all had Western snow plows on them. My buddy Bruce (Yes Bruce and He had a buddy Bruce) had 4 Scout II's and one Traveler. He also had 2 Chevy and a Ford. The Scouts were all 75-78's mostly 76 and 77's.
We had our own Plow service here in Indiana and they were cheap back then. All had 345's( I think ) but One... It was the traveler and it had a Chrysler/Nissan 6 cylinder diesel in it. You would think it being a diesel it would have a ton of power, Nope! It was a dog and slow but it would push snow up to a point and just stop moving... Lol It had a Bosh started that looked like it was for a jet engine and one day it would not crank the engine. Went to the Harvester plant in Indy ( which we later found out that was where the truck cam from! ) at the time and they said $4,000 bucks! Damn, I almost passed out!
The issue was the brushes were bad and was made on this plate in the starter and was not available as it was a development engine. So we left with no started... Lol
You see the brushes were not replaceable as the braid was fused/spot welded to the holders, that were welded to the plate but that was not going to stop us Hoosier boys... Lol
The next day I went to my local Napa guy and we spent a hour going through all his brush sets to find something that I could make work. We found something that was close but he ordered some others and one of them was so close I made them work and we had a starter again. After 30 years I don't remember what it was for I think they were for a Mack Model R starter, once again not sure... Lol
Most of the trucks were held together bailing wire and 4x4 posts literally as most of them had no cab supports or rear/mid supports rotted away. The Scouts were great trucks and the chassis's were awesome but the body's were rust buckets. 15 years later we sold the whole lot and the company. Several times I wish I had kept the one I drove all the time. But at last, I did not, I have regretted it for years.
Back then folks would not give you $10 bucks for one and look at them now... Lol
Awesome show!
LLAP 🖖
That front end seems to have been borrowed by Rivian.
Funny, rivian is 50 yrs behind IH , I think you mean the other way around.
Hey! Why didn't you talk about the Wagonmaster? The cross between the two?
Travelall was my first vehicule it was a1971 v8 304
My dad had a 4x4 international,i new what a travalall was but never new what a travalett was
👍👍👍
I wished IH would go back to making light trucks
I want one but need to be able to drive it home to Louisiana.
I Think I Got It!
Good video Ben. I like them all. What is the difference between Scout and Scout ii and Scout 800
UA-cams buffering is killing this for me.
