thats one way to clean out the parts box!!!!

You sacrificed IH parts to go on a Freightliner?????? It turned out really nice!

The Lonestar is still being worked on also.... For a 97, or 9800, the best to start with would be KFS's 9600. Its the best. Not cheap though... I've thought about it, but, I haven't ordered one yet to cut up. I've got several of the Pinecrest cabs/parts too. I have the 8100, 8300, service body, areo components for the 8300, a DT466, etc..... Yes Aaron, there will be a crew cab..

Try this one: hw962c@gmx.de I had that old one and got the same response. This one should work.

Heres a couple of hoods that have appeared on my bencch over the last couple of evenings. A tilt, and a bat wing hood for an IH Loadstar. I'm going to get both hoods roughed in, and then start on a cab.

Nice!!

Charlie, absolutley amazing, every time I look at it. Did you make the steering gear functional, like on the P/A?

I've got some friends that are retirees from Springfield, both the assy. plant and the old body plant. Been thruogh the assy. plant numerous times in the past, even when they were still building cabovers!

Nope, never worked for IH. I know lots of people that have, from assembly line, to salesmen, engineers, mechanics, credit corp., etc. Plus around here all we do is IH, so, there is a combined 75-plus years of experience and info in the people i work with. Not to mention 16' of floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with books!

Well, after the Scout got axed in'80, a lot of the designers ended up at Chrysler..... We have a book around here somewhere that has a bunch of design sketches for the Scout. Most of them have a VERY similar appearance to Chryslers first generation mini-vans..... Now remember, back when the Wagon master was dreamed up (1972) the designers of the Sport-trac, and the Avalance, were probably riding around in an IH....in their infant seat!!! We did a Travelall a few years back that was an engineering prototype. It was a '74, and it had anti-lock brakes, reaf heat and a/c, power windows and locks, and a power moon roof!! All were slated to come into production untill the pick-ups and Travelalls were dropped in '75

You mean kind of like this???? This is one we finished restoring this summer. 1973 Wagonmaster, 1/2 ton 4x4.

Here you go! Like I said, I'm not happy with it. I think I'll start fresh. I had a bed half done too, but I can't find it.....

I thought he had. I haven't seen one since its remaster, so I can't say how thin it is. I try to keep my cabs 0.040"-0.060" thick. I found my cab last night and started remembering all of the other flaws. The drip rail tapers down to the back of the cab, no body line in the doors, etc., etc., I'll post pics later.

It is still available from Dave @AITM. Its the Fleetstar. It shares the same basic cab shell, BUT, the roof is taller, the floor is different and the firewall/lower cowl is different also. When I started mine, I used the Fleetstar cab as a base, and built a front end. The thing I really don't like, (which I think it has been improved) was that the cab was close to 3/8" thick!!! I'll see if I can dig up whats left of it and get a pic or two.

Unfortunatly, there is nothing like the shape of a Travelall out there. I started a pick-up many years ago, with the hope of building a T/A next, but, I never finished it, and my talents have improved so much, I'd want to start over anyways.

You nailed it. The Scout Connection. www.scoutconnection.com I'm kind of the jack of all trades around here, everything but the owner!

Police car meets fire truck....not a good time!

Here you go! These are two of mine... If you really have time to waste...... http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/cargostar/?start=0 Hans......or Charles, your secret is safe with me....

The '76 grill was the first issue of the Scout II kit, it was modified in later years to have the '77-'79 grill. The Travelall is one of three we have around here. Two on display, and one salvage. They were all converted from stock T/a's by a division of IH called Springfield Equipment. The one in the corner of the pic has been lengthened and a raised to added. I'll see if I can find my pics.

Most manuals are black, autos could be black or natural aluminum. For realism, (at least on Internationals) they may have frame colored overspray on them. IH installed the engine and trans in the frame before it was painted, so depending on how accurate the worker was putting the masking on, there could be little to major amounts of overspray on the trans, and engine.

Heres one version of the Micro Machines Travelall, and several versions of the Matchbox first generation Scout. And heres a shot of some of the collection here. There is a total of 36' of case on this wall, more to be added, and its all IH light duty and truck toys and collectables. and Chuck.....Hans Eugene Bucklesgrueber??????

Nope, no Scouts in the Micro Machines....Matchbox/Lesney had a generic looking 1st. generation Scout, and Ertl had a Scout Traveller in 1/64th, and now Johnny Lightning has several variations of a '77-79 Scout II.

The only 70's Travelall that has been done was back in the 90's in the "Micro Machines" line. I think iw was 1/80th scale or something goofy. Otherwise just the Liberty Classics/First Gear 50's Traveall

I don't want to speak for 7000in5th, but, there is a corporate legal department that I'm sure existed back then that oversees use of logos, designs, and anything related to the company. They also deal with the royalties from the various licensecees and contractors. Basicly they are the final say in having anything IH produced, whether it be for a 1:1 truck, or a model. Just check anything that has International on it and their logo on it. It states something to the effect of "being licensed to use International and trademarks by International Intellectual Property Company, LLC" Essentially they have to approve everything and get a cut of the profits........ Most companys have gotten really touchy about royalties and licenscing

In our experience in tring to get actual 1:1 parts reproduced, its actually the licenseing and legal side is the stumbling blocks
