welcome to wacky Wednesday's where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods and here's this week's winner, hey everybody this is my 1970
international 1300d one-ton pickup, I found this truck looking through Indiana
otter RV, wanting a 4 wheel drive pickup truck with locking hubs and straight
axle because I had issues out of a four-wheel-drive s10 I had, of the two
trucks I looked at this one was still still available when looked at it, it was
for sale at Dan's trucks in Perrysburg Ohio, drove up there looked at it put
some money down and towed it back home next weekend in a snowstorm that's how I
ended up this truck, it didn't run my stepdad and I put a fuel pump and
rebuilt the carburetor and we were driving around our neighborhood so the
automatic transmission that came with originally had problems shifting, we
decided to get rid of it put a four-speed in it, now over the
years I've had it for four years now, I now have a 345 International v8 in it
and its couple to a new venture 4500 the rest of the drivetrain is original
though, here's the engine bay it does have power steering, vacuum boosted
brakes, 345 international two barrel Holley 2300 series carb large radiator
this truck being a forestry truck has a 10,000 pound Ramsey PTO winch big truck,
battery always starts, no air conditioning as many trucks back then
did not, the front axle international called an FA52 which is actually a
dane 70, worn locking hubs, and the rear axle is international ra15 full
floating axle, one thing I really like about this truck is it has greasable leaf
spring bushings I have never seen that before, it has two gas tanks
this side the passenger side is aux, they're both about 15 gallons
the wheelbase is a 132 inch, according into this VIN sticker it's only rated at
7,000 pounds, but I think it'll, well I have hauled more on it, roast it out higher
as you see the original bench seat is torn pretty bad, I took the headliner out of
it, when I originally bought it, it had a beacon as well as a antenna for a fire
radio in it and I patched those holes it leaked really bad, the headliner
was stained and I took that out, visors are original as well as the mirror, a big
crack on the dash, ain't much to a 1970 70's interior, gauges are engine monitoring
gauges, the speedo works that is believed to be correct miles, I bought it with
46,000 miles on one of the fuel tanks sending units work, I currently have
hooked up there's where you change your fuel from tank to tank, manual choke real
simple no electronic joke, windshield wiper you
got two speeds high-low press on it to get the wiper or wash, pull to go
and your lights obviously you got a push-button high-low high-low beans
brake, this truck came with a automatic originally an automatic you
can tell by this column here it was an automatic, I just removed that linkage
and put a clutch pedal in it, trim down the brake pedal put a Z Z linkage in it
different bell housing and put up for speeding it this is a 5-speed venture
4500, I can show you the bottom where it adapter is like my cup holder screw into
no radio in this truck they did not come with a radio, two speeds on your fan
low and high if you want some extra heat so open this
door right here, and if you want it in the summertime, let's open this puppy up,
your fuse boxes right here very simple glass
fuses, I assume that's from back in the state truck days, and this little lever down
here is your PTO lever, engages the PTO on the transfer case and your transfer
case lever, well that was this week's video and to have your car mod shown on
my channel here check this out, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
