IHCs. are wonderful trucks that actually were meant to DO REAL WORK; not operate as fashion statements which is why the US military, state agencies and utility companies bought them wholesale. 50+ years after IHC dropping their light duty truck line people still remember them fondly as well they should. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Very nice, new truck with 55 miles out of storage. What a deal. I thought my 74 with the American Motors 401 V8 factory installed was low mileage 64,000+ when I bought it. Take this pickup out when this gets cleaned up some and you will get many compliments all the time.
Vinegar in water scrub OFF that mold real easy and it will stay off. Looks like my 78 J10 that sat most all its life in a garage, had about !/8th inch of dust from sitting all those years. Cleaned up well and even the under hoof paint waxed up shines like the day it rolled out of the factory unscratched!! Love these old time capsule SURVIVORS.
Man, what does a person even do with something like that? It is so cool I'd want to drive it, but if you drive it, it loses a lot of what it is. Thanks for sharing.
That is some find , 55 miles. I thought I found and bought a low mile truck , about 12 years ago , out of southwest Daskatchewan , a 1970 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive " camper soecial " kept inside a shed , No rust , 19660 original miles ,farm estate sale.Trailered it home. Everything works , now at 21,000 miles. 345 engine , automatic transmision. Mine , the seat upolstery is pristine , lucked out in that regard.
@@shopdoc I'm referring to the last part of the production run before they shut down. If you don't want to admit those were shoddy, OK. The ones they built in the 60's and before would outlast any of their competition. Kinda liked gas though. Like a GMC V6.
No it’s okay, I’m not nearly as familiar with the 70’s models. I owned a 52, 57, and currently a 61, so those are what I have experience with. No worries.
