1963 International Harvester Other

1963 International 220 POWERHOUSE! 2-1/2 ton truck. flatbed with a utility crane (very old hyd + electric winch). Has a screaming Jimmy(runs at about 3400rpm). Detroit  V6-53 blown 2 stroke. nbsp;with an over/under browning box. and 5 spd trans (15spd) and  Air brakes.

I towed a 12. 00lbs boat and trailer back and forth 10-12 miles each trip. every other weekend for about three years. Never had a problem.

This is a very capable work truck. NOT a show vehicle. However probably gets more looks than anything out there. VERY LOUD exhaust.

Has two newer batteries. new fuel filter. new LED tail lights. locking pentel hook with 2 5/16 ball. has a battery isolation switch. and a diesel fuel pump out. RUNS like a champ. THIS RIG IS BAD ASS!

This a great rolling billboard. put your business name on the door.

In the last pic. I am just showing that it will except military rims and tires. 2" lift block in the front & shackle flip in the rear. GREAT LOOK. But these do not come with it.

 Heres a quick video. Phone was about out of memory. so had to hurry.

In this new video. you'll see the truck fire up cold (bout a week since last fire up). The louvers on the grill close at about 55 sec in(that happens at about 60psi). Then I run though sec and third gear. and when I am backing up. I hit all the browning gears. Notice the hyd assist steering works great.

THE RUFF-

Very straight. but has rust under the wind screen. some in both lower corners. not terrible. just noticeable.

 I just bondoed over them. I live in CA. so lasted a long time. and its a working truck. so did not matter to me.

The last time it got towed by a transport company it got the air horn ripped off. and a chip in the wind screen. Air horn can be fixed easy.

 My location is good for a big rig to come get this. so shipping is made a little easier.

Tach stopped working. ILL JUST PUT IT LIKE THIS. THIS TRUCK IS A GREAT RUNNING DRIVING WORK TRUCK. THAN NEEDS RESTORAITION.

FURTHER READING- I bought this from a very respected Detroit diesel shop in Ventura. CA 5 years ago. This shop has been there since 1952. The gentleman I bought it from (owner) has had it since the early 1970's. He told me a story about why the cab looks so much older than a 1963. Apparently in WW11 International was contracted to make a shit ton of these. Well then the war ended and the government did not want them anymore. So International just put all the cabs in a warehouse and whenever one was bought (over the next 30yrs). they would issues a title with that year.
