I had a 1973 1110 4x4 that I bought when I was going to school at the University of Montana in 1992. Got her for $500, as she was a former Forest Service rig. 345, T-10 4-speed, Warn hubs, Dana 44's front and rear, NP205 transfer case. She was tough as nails, built like a tank, and looks that would have made her Mother cry! Primer gray, but was originally a beautiful blue color. After I finished school I moved to Southern Idaho (some 430 miles away, and drove her down there with all of my stuff. Along the way I had to stop periodically to add oil, since she burned a fair amount. At the end of 430 miles, she had guzzled 7 quarts of oil! A frame in re-ring was done, and I found giant pieces of compression rings in the bottom of the oil pan...and yet she ran like a champ! Hands down, she was the ugliest, toughest, most amazing truck I have ever owned. Sold her off to buy Amway tools. *sigh* Needless to say, I am not in Amway anymore, I divorced my wife at the time, and regret ever selling that old girl.
Wow, I never knew that IH made refrigerators before I watched this video! BTW, that engine bay is really a sight to behold: very clean, tidy, and functional. Chromed out engine bays just don't appeal to me; I prefer plain and simple. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 1951 IH fridge that my grandpa bought new, then my dad owned it and now I own it. It has been running flawlessly for 71 years. The only thing I’ve done to it, is repaint it and replace the door seal. It’s a incredible unit.
Very sharp. I have a '73 1210 regular cab 4x4 that's a stalled restoration project. I'm having a 392 built for it, which is what it had in it from the factory, but the original engine is long gone. The engines were set back in the 74 and 75 model years requiring rear dump exhaust manifolds instead of the center dumps of prior years. No one seem to know why this was done.
I'm buying a 73 1100 later this month and it aged beautifully it has less than 65k miles and I'm debating whether to keep the patina on it or restoring it which is what I want to do but I consider it a shame to get rid of its aging
They really are great running and cool sounding engines. There are fewer and fewer light line binders left every year, yours is absolutely show quality. No IH aficionado would walk past it, especially with it's story.
the truck looks great. thanks for showing it off. I think i might paint mine that color. looks like it is bimini blue metallic. it would be cool to use an IH color
When I was a kid in the early-mid 70's my dad had one but it was red and didn't have the lift gate. I don't know which engine except that it was a V8 with a 4 speed.
aquí en México existieron camionetas de 3500 kilos para compañía de luz imagino de los 70s y traían un chasis muy fuerte me enamoró eso su chasis irrompible obio para su peso y época hera y es un chasis único incomparable
What mufflers does that have on it? Trying to figure out what would sound best on my 1970 1100 4x4. Picked it up last year with 8,000 original miles because it was a plow truck for a small town in centural Nebraska. I wish the body was that nice, but you get what you pay for.
So this being a '75 did you have disc brakes? Wanna say the '74 and '75s featured discs on the front and drums in the back. Is the color factory or a custom modern one?
I have a 74 international but I'm having trouble finding parts and the motors stuck and I'm trying to find a rebuild kit but the cheapest I can find is like 2500 dallars minimum if anyone has any tips that would be great
Great truck My dad had identical truck in the Bimini Blue same engine
That's a unique shade of blue. Good looking truck.

The rumble from the dual exhaust is intoxicating. Thanks for sharing.
