Nice to see a little more FSJ content. It's been a while since I posted a pic of my old bucket. Nothing radical, but lots of fun.

Doesn't need to be radical to be one of the coolest trucks shown in this thread. I love everything about it. Trice Nuck!!! :lol:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I like it too. :metal:

I thought you said go get yourself 'Jeep' hoe, not a cheap one

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

That's some creation right there, those had hydraulics at the rear for their winch or was that a pto winch ????

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I don't know anything about these, but I did look one over once. I believe it is PTO driven hydraulics. I'm not sure if it would use a shaft off the PTO to rear pump, pump on PTO with lines run fore and aft, or pump on engine. Lots of hose, though!

I know, it's a 2wd. can still go off road, though :cool:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I’ve picked up some more “other makes” over the last year or so.
Bought this one for the doors and fenders. It will probably just sit like this packed full of scout parts for a long time. Has a 345 I got running over the summer. Good oil pressure but some flat cam lobes so it will be a backup engine.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Not long after purchasing the scout above I came across this rust free one without an engine in California. Had it shipped here.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Nice find, a rust free Scout!

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

No kidding, a rust free scout is a rare bird even here in the west.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Ok, let me clarify: the “rust free” Scout has rust it’s just not rusty where most scouts rust. The hard top, windshield frame, and hood all have rust. Typical top down ocean air rust compared to bottom up Midwest salt induced rust. The yellow scout has rust free hood and windshield frame so that works out. I have two other scouts so between 4 of them I’ll end up with 2. This is the other rust free one and it’s from AZ. Flat cam lobes in this one too.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I suspect this is 4wd. COE Jeep product?

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I used to own a scout. I couldn't open both doors at the same time or you couldn't close them due to rust. Between frame and body flex that thing could go anywhere! Fun vehicle but finding anything "rust free" around the northeast would cost more than I am willing to spend.

Nice Scouts

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Yep, FCs were 4wd. How cool would one of those be off road and in the woods? No issues with seeing over the hood. The FC150 was the short one and then there was the FC170. I'm not sure how they labeled them by weight range. I like the longer FC170s

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Thanks Tim - I like those.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

This super nice Ford was at work yesterday.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Isn't it funny how back then they came standard from the factory with a "lift" ? :lol:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

That's a nice "high boy". :metal:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Here is a better pic version of the front 3/4 view. And the link to see the full size version .... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...hp?photo=47426

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I worked one winter for an old guy who had a Ford 4x4 just about exactly like that. He also had an F600 log truck of about that same vintage and color. I spent a fair amount of time riding with him in both of them :)

He had a sawmill too, and we would take the pickup up to the woods just to cut, and then take the truck to the woods to skid and load. He had a Model A doodlebug skidder and another Model A turned backwards with a tractor front loader mounted on it.

Of course I have no pictures because that was back in the film & develop days, and besides never imagined that it would be interesting 45 years later.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I had to look up what a doodlebug was... pretty damn cool, what they did back in the day!

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

It’s funny some 3/4t bumpsides and dentsides made use of the 1/2t Spicer hubs seen on K10s, K5s, and Broncos. Ford had two front axle options for 3/4t 4wds back in the day. The stouter version used the Spicer hubs we see on GM 3/4t.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Yeah, he had torched the frame off and thrown away the rear springs, using the cut off piece of frame as a spacer between the axle and frame. Then it had an arch sort of like a tow truck and a PTO winch right behind the seat. There was no cab, just the front end and fenders.

I would ride shotgun and bail out before he turned around, and get him backed in and pull the cable and set the choker(s). Then back to the meadow we used for a landing and jump out and unhook and run up and jump on board again. It was a lot of fun to be getting paid for :)

RIP Bill Manuel Sr.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I started a picture thread in General Disco for Doodlebugs back a while. I'll try to find it

Got to post a picture of something or other. That was a nice F250 4wd. Gotta say 4wd since Ford gives no designation between models :cool: Bumpsides:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Funny how those old Fords came "lifted" from the factory and back then everyone made fun of them because they were so tall :lol:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I never heard the making fun for being so tall, but I know in that era mfgrs were going more toward "lower entry height" in their 4wds. My '69 Dodge was divorce case as well and it didn't sit near as high as an F250 4wd. I always said the Fords looked like 4wd was an afterthought, like the truck wasn't designed for 4wd originally. but I liked big tires so it was me wanting my Dodge to sit like a Ford. Then my GMs, once I figured out the truck with best part support and availability wins. That truck Deadhead NM showed is lifted

Enough Fords for a while. How about IH?

Some great pics Tim! I don't know how you find them but keep going.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

For some reason I really like that 1960s generation IH like that first red one :)

My stepdad had one of the last generation (1971). I should have bought it when they sold it, but he wanted the cabover camper to go with it and it was just too much at the time.

For a year I drove a Loadstar school bus with 345 & 5 speed. I thought those were pretty nice trucks. Lots of low end, you could get out of some slippery spots by starting in 3rd gear.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I like the IHs. I would like to have one or more now. I like the '72 era 4wds in the same way as GMs. I only went with 71/72 GMs for ease of service. I had vehicles, including the '69 W200, that were tough to get parts for and that is the reputation IH had by what I heard. I love the no BS/all truck design of IHs. Pickups and SUVs were their lightest line of vehicles, same as GMC.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Yeah, that's what my stepdad had: 1971 3/4 ton 4x4 with 345 and 4 speed. I should have bought it in the 1990s but I was in the middle of going back to college mid-life.

I knew another logger in CO that had a 1950-something 2 ton IH. He needed a new clutch and at the parts store they asked him "is that an early, mid, or late 1956?" :rolleyes:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Yeah, you had to order parts by the build sheet. Had to know which plant the trucks was built in and the date. So you can imagine you would need a good parts person for any of that to mean anything. Different jobbers supplied different plants at different times, Funny thing now is that is how it is with GMs and the others now. That's why you need to give a VIN. They say parts source when truck starts on the line could change before it gets to the other end.

Now that I have attention for Internationals here...

You think a 67-72 GM SWB 4wd is a low production hot little number? Well you are right. So you like your trucks smaller and on the more rare side? Me too, and that's why I say "GIVE ME THIS ONE!!!!" This truck is over the top toodamncool!

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Come to think of it, before now I don't think I've ever seen a short bed IH pickup (2wd or 4wd).

That sort of looks like a Scout II with a pickup cab top, without any size reference.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

It seems the only ones I saw were Stepsides, or whatever it was IH called them. That short bed 4wd is a rare sight. It seems IHs were bought for the heavy uses, mostly. A real truck for sure. But that li'l humdinger is an 8-lug full-floater!

The Terras they came out with in their final years of light truck production were about the same thing as a SWB, but with top swap abilities like a Blazer
