Thanks, but I think my kid might fight you over that one.

Bring that nice black one up here so my kid and I can check it out. Oh, and you have to trailer it or drive it back home in reverse.

I might have to see if your dad will let me put a few on his lot to sell.

Did you lose forward gears in the red truck?

No, just temporarily sidetracked. I found the International, had to change the motor in my '96 PSD, filmed all the HS and JH basketball games (my boy's team was undefeated and won District Tournament

), towed my Fifth wheel toy hauler down to Tucson and traded it for a travel trailer toy hauler and got to do some riding at Coral Pink Sand Dunes on the way home. I will get back on it as soon as I can get rid of my PSD.

Yes, we had a good time and I wouldn't trade any of it. I met up with 84Chevyguyid in Idaho Falls and he bought my family and I brunch on the way to Tucson (Thanks again Mike).

I jumped over to your build thread and your project is coming along nice. Other than my wife's Yukon XL I am die hard diesel guy. Before that however I was a BBC person. I have owned my share of these squares. but only one of them was a 1/2 ton all others were 3/4 and 1 tons. Keep up the good work on yours and good luck with that annoying vibration.

Thank you sir! We are pretty sure the trans is/was the torque converter.

Awsome build tread! I've read the whole thing like 4 times. Did you ever figure out if it is too high for your fifth wheel? Doing a 24 valve 47re swap in my 91 crew and need to order the lift. It will need to tow a toy hauler in the future and I can't decide between 4 or 6in lift.

Thanks 656mx. No, I never tried pulling the fifth wheel since I have a few other trucks and a few months ago I traded off my fifth wheel for a bumper pull toy hauler. I wanted a 4 inch lift but couldn't locate one fast enough so I just ordered the 6 inch.

Let me know how that 47re works out for you. Do you have a build thread?

656mx · 06-26-2015, 10:30 PM

no build tread yet. Ill start one when I get a little further into it. Going to pull the 6.2 out this week and start building motor mounts.

COS399 · 07-01-2015, 11:05 PM

I had a friend who owns a local body shop put a little elbow grease into shining it up. Not the best photo but a big improvement. I also include a picture from when I first got the truck.

COS399 · 07-01-2015, 11:18 PM

The PO of my International dropped it off yesterday evening. WOO HOO!!

COS399 · 07-01-2015, 11:20 PM

Yes, it's a little rough and needs a lot of TLC.

ryanroo · 07-01-2015, 11:43 PM

That is awesome.... I had a flash of what I would make it into in my head. How cool!

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-02-2015, 05:35 PM

The red truck shines nicely now! You're a bad influence.

If I could afford it and had the patience I would definitely let you build it because I know it would turn out awesome.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm trying to spur you on to finish your K30.

Thanks! After the Longhorn is drivable, and my fence is done at home, I will bring the 76 there and start getting ready. I need to have it drivable before snow flies.

COS399 · 08-31-2015, 11:52 PM

I know you are all tired of hearing this but I haven't really made the time to do any work on the truck. My boy should have his license in March so after his football season is over I am going to have to make some time before basketball starts. The plan is to reseal the transfer case and wire in an OBDII plug.

shopteacher · 09-01-2015, 01:55 PM

You should put that cab on a F450 Super Duty frame like this !

I keep looking on CL but haven't found anything like that. I am leaning towards one of the step vans with a 4bt and just doing a cab swap for the International Project.

Truck Guy99 · 10-03-2015, 11:06 AM

Just read the whole thing. Great build so far! Keep it rollin

Just saying you do really great work and I would want it done overnight.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-05-2015, 09:02 PM

Have fun with foot ball. My work load has not netted me much truck time either.
