1958 International Harvester A120 Long Bed 4X4 Family Owned Since New

MORE RARE THAN A (DOWN ON THE FARM) BARN FIND.
Here is A FAMILY OWNED. Never been down on the farm. 1958 International A120 4 wheel drive long bed pickup that is up for sale by the 3rd registerd owner and it is currently LICENSED. INSURED. DRIVEABLE with manual brakes and steering.  I have the original factory build sheet and owners manual and six extra wheels. The truck was ordered new by my sister-in-laws father before he retired and he set it up to tow a 18 foot travel trailer and added a full sleeper canopy on the bed. He had it registered as a house car for as long as he had it. He and his wife traveled all over the US and a couple trips to Alaska. The truck had a 264 cubic inch 6 cyl. and on one of the trips to Alaska. the motor gave out. All he could get up there was a 240 cubic inch and he had it installed and is still running very good. The odometer shows 154. 88 and there is a tag behind the glass that says "plus 54. 00 miles" which could be when he put in the 240? After the original owner passed away. his daughter (my sister-in-law) inherited the truck. She and my brother had the truck for some 20/25 years and passed it on to me in a not running condition. I have had the truck for approx. 7 years and have spent some time making it road worthy. I am 70 and do not have the time or energy or money to continue maintaining it. I drive it about once or twice a month and it looks like a truck. sounds like a truck. rides like a truck. and drives like a truck. The running gear seems solid. the clutch is good and no double clutching required. The valves are a little noisy. no knocks or bangs and does not smoke. Motor starts right up. nbsp;Idles smoothy and has plenty of power and holds 50 to 60 pounds oil pressure. The body is solid as a rock and I could not find any Cancer. I put a set of matching Michelin Radial tires that came off a motor home with new radial tubes and new flaps on the Split rims and had them spun balanced. The steering is a little loose. but no shakes or shimeying. The brakes work. but could use bleeding and adjusting. The family agrees that it is time to find this family truck a new home. I hope all this helps you decide if you will be the caretaker number 4. I have just created this E-Bay account and Paypal account and I am feeling my way through it. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? For more information call me (CHARLEY) at 916-397-0945 or e-mail me at:     charleyandnita@aol. comThanks for taking the time to read this and check out the pictures.  Charley
