I love that thing. Looks like a typical all around Jeep from the dry western states. I remember the first time I rolled into Denver from back east and seeing all the chromed & painted up Jeeps, Bronco, and Scouts for the first time (other than magazines)

I new a guy that lived at Bullhead city years ago, had a international carry all 4x4 like those pictured. He had a big huge AC unit off a old semi diesel truck mounted on the roof

Good for 115* weather river bed wheeling to get to the water

Will do...

Going down to Gold Beach, Oregon to visit an ol’ friend, from there I may head east to Hailey Idaho and surprise my sister. I see snow in my future going that route.

Here's an interesting one: (for sale too! Not mine)
Love the wood stove. Looks like you could swivel the driver's seat & stoke the stove while you're driving!

I thought that looked familiar. They could of sold it a year ago it they had used the photos you posted of it. I remember it looking much rougher in the C/L ad.

I’m working on the brakes at his place now, it’s not quite as he told me but I’m trying to be patient. The body is fine the work done on the conversion is fine but it’s been sitting. I’m a big boy and take what comes my way but his words ring in my ear,
“Honestly I would not hesitate to take it anywhere, everything is new or rebuilt”

I used to buy western trucks and drive them home way back when. My '72 K2500 is one (2001). The last one I bought was in Greely, CO 2004, '72 K/20. I bought it from now defunct Classical Gas and they told me "drive anywhere". I was real busy with my work back then, so considered just running it down to my Sister's in Taos, in case there were issues. This was my first 'dealer buy', so more concerned with the honesty factor as well as actual knowledge of condition being known. I finally decided no time for that and had it shipped. Good thing! The truck shows up and first thing the driver tells me is what a PIA it has been moving the truck with no clutch, had to start in gear. Ok, so it needs a clutch. I decide to run it up to the crossroads 5-6 miles away to put gas in it. I got up to 40mph and the front tires were bouncing like a basketball. Turned back and discovered the ball joints were way shot. Next I go to creep it on the backroads up to my shop 20-25 miles away. Coming up out of the valley a mile down the road I shift to 4th and it falls on it's face. Calipers were hot/froze up tight. I cut the hoses and carried on. That would have been a disaster to try to drive home. So glad I shipped it

Just a follow up, flew back out yesterday and bought the El Coolmino, driving ( hopefully) it back starting today. My floor dimmer switch messed up yesterday, kinda giving me fits. Wonder if it grounds to the floor?

It’s a very nice truck (IMO) in very good condition. The conversion was top notch, drives down the road smoothly, straight, no wander. The suspension is not harsh (early 70 blazer running gear fabbed in) with a summit racing 383 stroker 475HP in it.

All that being said, it has not seen the road in awhile so anything is possible.

I’m sick I tell ya, like a dog coming back to his vomit :lol:

Too many pics to scab and post. Check out this M934 camper. Do you need to wear ear plugs when you drive those?
