A 1968 International Travelall, behind the barn find. Found this Travelall while looking at another vehicle. It had been setting and not driven since 1993, when the original owner passed away. I hauled it back to my shop with the intention of just making a driver for now and then restoring it. It had not been licensed since 1993 and so was out the license system in Washington State. I re-registered it and bought new plates and license tabs for 2015 and they go with it. If you live in Washington State that will be handy. If not at least the Title and Registration is Clear and in my name. I cleaned up the motor and replaced all the ignition parts and bought a NOS carburetor too. The oil was clean, but I changed the oil and filter as a matter of course. I installed a new battery, battery cables, and ignition switch and it fired right up. It idles and runs smoothly and has 60 pounds of oil pressure at start up and about 50 psi at idle warmed up. I also replaced all the heater hoses and clamps, transmission cooler hoses, the heater control valve and thermostat. Also I have the original windshield washer bottle and it works. The fan belts are all new also. I replaced all the brake lines and brake hoses, installed new wheel bearings and seals, new brake wheel cylinders, master cylinder, re-lined the brake shoes front and rear, replaced all the brake hardware, and am installing a new power booster this week too. I have installed a rebuilt power steering pump and new high pressure and return lines. The battery is a new 60 month group 24. Cooling system has been flushed and correct antifreeze/coolant installed. The parking brake and cables have been restored and work fine. The transmission is the original hydromantic and shifts well forward and reverse. The stock air cleaner has been disassembled, restored and filled with 30wt. The stock wheels were rusted away and so I bought new 15"x7" steelies, new 225x65 R15 Radial tires, and new stainless hub caps and trim rings. I have also rebuilt the driveshaft with new U-Joints and Center support bearing! I have the door panels which are good for patterns, the rocker trim cover panels and the rear tailgate cover. The glass is good all the way around, however a kindly juvenile delinquent shot the windshield with a BB gun, and so it has a little chip that can be fixed. The seats are stock. Overall this is a great restoration candidate or you can just drive it as a Rat Rod. There is rust as shown in the pictures but repairable too except for right front fender which should be replaced. The is also some areas to repair in the cowl. The lights and turn signals work. I have been able to free up the windows and they roll up and down, but you will need to clean them up and lubricate them and replace the felt channels and door rubber. Remember this is a project. The rear tail gate does not have the glass, but that can be found on eBay as most parts for it can. All the mechanism for the power rear window is there and the switch works. The left gas tank needs to be restored, but it is included. I bought new tank flanges for both sides. I have had the right tank cleaned and installed a new sending unit. The tank switch valve has been restored and it is included too. I have the stock stainless hub caps and they go with it too. I have all the side trim and it is included. Also have the original jack included. The lease is up on my shop next week and I need to have everything sold and gone in the next three weeks. Therefore with nowhere to store my stuff, everything will be for sale. I'm getting kind of tired anyway. I have spent well over $2,800.00 on the Travelall over the past month not counting what I paid for it, so that is the starting point for the bidding and there is NO RESERVE. Please do not bid if you think you wife is going to kill you, a family medical emergency may arise, your brother-in-law needs a loan and you cant complete the deal , your 14 year son has control of your eBay account and made all the bids without you knowing it, or you really don't have the money to pay for it. Yes I have had all of those ridiculous excuses given me when I listed it last. On Aug-22-15 at 13:42:56 PDT, seller added the following information: Just wanted to let everyone know that I just found and bought two rust-free in near perfect condition front fenders. They are a matching pair and almost the same color paint as the Travelall. If the winning bid is over $4500.00 I will include them. If not I will give the winning bidder first opportunity to buy them.
