Runs and drives, but could use a good tune-up. No matter how long it sits, the most I've had to do to it is check plugs, squirt a little oil in the cylinders (I never turn an engine over dry), and get fresh fuel to it, and it fires right up with some throttle pumping. Hydraulic brakes and clutch are good. Clutch and brake master cylinders rebuilt 7 years ago, right rear wheel cylinder rebuilt 5 years ago. Fuel tank suction screen is plugged and fuel pump is bad, so has a boat tank and electric pump plumbed in temporarily to allow test drives. Wiring is marginal, but gauges, headlights, and one taillight/brakelight work. Headlights and turn signal are wired to add-on switches as originals no longer work. Don't know about the heater, haven't tried to use it for 9 years. Rusty, but frame is solid. Needs new u-bolts on right rear leaf spring. Four wheel drive works, cast iron divorced transfer case. Good tread on bias ply mud tires mounted on original split rims. I have never been able to get this truck stuck! Shakes above about 35mph, mostly due to the tires. Missing rear window due to a tree branch kissing it while pulling out a stump (yes, literally will pull out a stump)! Otherwise, reasonable condition for a 53 year old pickup that's seen farm use all its life. Other than surface rust, the hood is amazingly perfect, with absolutely no dents. Every other body panel has at least one dent and/or rust though. I've enjoyed having it for the last 15 years, and really don't want to get rid of it, but I don't use it enough anymore. It needs some TLC and someone who appreciates these old International Harvester pickups that were build like a tractor! Local pickup or buyer arranges shipping. Title is clear. Mileage is indicated, unsure if the odometer has rolled over. No warranty, as it is 53 years old after all! I can try to get more specific pictures of certain areas upon request.
