1972 International Harvester Other 1110 (1/2 ton 4x4)

This International Travelall 4x4 is in good shape.  NO BS HERE. just straight.
It is an 1110 4x4.  392 ci. V8 International engine is strong. ORIGINAL documented miles.  253 gross hp.  This is HIGHEST HP rating by International.  All other year engines came out with lessening horsepower do to government and fuel crunch in the '70s. Factory  3 speed Automatic Chrysler TorqueFlite Transmission.  Everyone I took to Louisville Street rods really enjoyed riding in this. from adults to kids.  It gets lots of looks and thumbs up.
INTERIOR:
Cleaned up real nice. Seats have a few tears. if I kept it I would have a vinyl guy repair it to save the nice seats.  a cigarette burn in front from a previous owner. no lingering smell of smoke. Has new carpet throughout. doesn't appear to be hiding any serious rust. solid floor boards. Rear power glass works. little slow at the bottom but probably needs lubed a little.   Dash has some cracks in it. Seat belts all work fine.  Blower is strong but a/c compressor from factory a/c is missing. however the lines look fine. Mirrors are attached and good.  Lights work. Fuel tank switch valve under front passenger wheel well needs work/replaced to be able to use both tanks.  Easy to access. Not a big job. AM radio worksPower steering works very well. Engine strong. little smoke at startup but goes away. (I'm told valve spring seals if you want to eliminate the issue. but not bad. and both my Travelalls do it so I don't see an issue here)4x4 works great in all ranges. Brakes work great. Transmission works great. NEW dual exhaust with chrome tips. No rust.  AWESOME sound.

Front spring bushings need replaced to be a safe driver. I may replace before it sells making price subject to change.
I replaced steering stabilizer yesterday.
EXTERIOR:
Small amount of rust behind rear wheel wells. not major. Body was professionally clear coated to protect the awesome natural patina and original blue paint. Chassis is in great shape. not much surface rust at all. Little oil from engine leaking from valve cover I think.  It has gotten better on its own because I think it has been sitting for a few months but not sure.  I expect the leak will continue to improve as the seals swell back from use.  Last owner sold it to me without telling me of the spring bushing issue. I think that's why it leaks currently from little use. Engine and engine bay is remarkably clean and tidy.  4 barrel carb is good. might need a very minor mixture adjustment to make it respond a little better. but I am picky and it is not bad at all.
Tires are in great shape. front right is a little more worn Due to spring bushings needing replaced. Tailgate is awesome and heavy duty. love the tailgate and glass.  
I am willing to sell because I have two travelalls and the other one is yellow and looks like a bus for my kiddos.
Good luck on bidding. let me know if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer in timely manner.
