International Harvester Travelall (1966)
for sale
Price: US $2,200.00
Price: US $2,200.00
This California truck was delivered
from IH to Los Angeles/High Desert and stayed there until recently.
Original 304 V8 Engine runs smooth (newly
rebuilt carb). Very light oil drip (probably comes from valve covers). It shifts and
brakes well.
Engine runs on new electric fuel pump
and gas bottle-I don’t have time to drop and rinse both gas tanks.
Odometer reads 33, 321 so I assume it
has $133, 321 miles on it (timing order stickers are still on the valve covers).
I have the Title. Truck is out of DMV
system.
Copy of Line Set Ticket will be
included with sale.
New battery.
Trailer brakes and rear trailer hitch
set-up.
Dual fuel tanks (they are in excellent
shape but should be rinsed out).
Floor Pans are in good shape. There
is a nickel to quarter-size hole in the floor pan near gas pedal (heel area) but
other than that, surface rust/scale. I looked underneath and the black undercoating
is like new but for this one spot where the heel went through rubber mat and
then the floor pan-See Pic.
A good indicator of rust on these
trucks is the condition of the outer and inner light housings. With the rear
brake light lenses removed, you can see the housings are in excellent shape
w/no blemishes in original coating-See Pic.
Original front, mid and rear floor mats
are in fair to good shape.
Padded Dash is cracked. Dash panel and
gauges are in very good shape. Chrome gauge bezels are excellent. Cardboard
glovebox is excellent.
Parking brake and brake-on indicator light
both work.
Front seat is in fair shape (vinyl is
a little dry). Mid seat is in useable. No third row seat but it has the setup
for it.
Headliner is in very good shape. One headliner
section needs to be put back into the cross member.
Original towing mirrors with “IH”
stamp are in very good shape.
Brand new windshield and seal (seal from
Precision Seals) were installed. The windshield frame showed zero rust with glass
out-See Pic. All other glass is in excellent shape. The windows behind the front
seat windows have been tinted and there are just a few very small blemishes in
the film.
All side doors open and shut solid
and true. One of the barn doors is not latching properly and needs some
alignment but it is not bad. Rollup windows operate smoothly but could work
even better with a little grease.
Original color is “Omaha Orange”.
Truck was re-sprayed blue then copper metallic. Roof paint is very good. Lower
body paint condition is fair to good. In my opinion, a few spot repairs and a
wax job will extend current paint life 3 to 5 years.
There are a couple rust-through spots
along the trailing edge of the outside rear wheel fenders that will need a
little patchwork but not bad-See Pic. Rust in this area is common with these
trucks. There is some cracking body filler on right rear barn door and on both
rear quarter panels near brake light level– See Pic. Not sure about thickness
of body filler in the lower areas. Previous owner cut out a drain hole about 3 Nickels side by side on driver side lower rear quarter panel
so will need a patch - See Pic.
Tires hold air but are rollers only.
The next owner can make the tire decision.
Original Rims are in very good shape.
Original spare rim will be included in sale.
Front bumper has a few dings. Back
bumper has very minimal dings-could use painting or chrome.
I have owned many International over
the past 30+ years. It is nearly impossible to cover everything positive and
negative in an ad but I try to give an educated, detailed and honest
description when I sell them.
This Travelall is not perfect but it
is very clean, intact and dry for 50 years old. Three-quarter-ton Travelalls of
this era, with rear barn doors, are rare these days - especially this solid. There
are few items to address to make this Travelall a daily driver/high profile
business delivery truck (company logo etc. on large rear side windows). With
little in the way of metalwork and needed parts, plus increasing value, this
Travelall can easily be used for a few years and then undergo a straight
forward restoration.
I will cooperate with your arranged
shipping method when payment is made in full. Immediate deposit of $750 is
required within 2 days of auction close. This is an as-is and where is sale. No warranty expressed written or implied.
Thanks for looking. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
