An International build without a Chev drivetrain!
I get tired of seeing the same old builds, you know the ones; Hey look at my '32 Ford... SBC powered, 9" yada, yada, yada. So I decided to build something a bit different - 1953 International R130 that I found in a farm yard surrounded by various other "vehicles"
I bought it for $500 CDN.
Next was deciding on a drive train, lucky for me a 1991 F350 came up in the local Kijiji ads not a great powerhouse, 7.3 ZF5 combo but at $1000 including a pair of fresh batteries and decent tires I figured, Why not?
Now to disassemble, first the 'Binder;
And the '91
Now to join the pair;
She sits waiting in my garage patiently until I get the time to get the furnace working, and get back to working on her.I honestly need a few more hours in the day!!!!Too many toys, not enough money, but a very loving and understanding wife
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
