You did an absolutely amazing transformation of this 466. Thank God who you got it from didn't abuse the h+ll out of it. And I know 1st hand the pull of a 466. I drove a rollback for awhile that was set up the same as yours. Crew cab with a six speed. She would out pull the Fords & Chevy's that were 6 to 10 yrs newer that they were switching to. But I wouldn't give up my International. Love the work, it's a masterpiece. And you could possibly do pretty well doing transformations like this for ppl.
I am currently building a 95 4700 crew cab that also came from Covington TN Chuck Baskin great truck came from Mempis public works you have done a great job looks great
I let one like it slip by. I have an 86 F250 with a 6.9 diesel in it that I tried to trade for it. I thought I had it traded for but someone had cash and paid him. But I love that DT 466 engine. They're probably peppy in a pickup truck mode but they shine pulling heavy loads around town pulling a 48 or 53 . They also seem to last forever as well.
Beautiful, lovely transformation. Stuff made of dreams, I am working on an e350 camper van with the international 7.3 PS that I hope to restore and make a shining beauty like yours. Thanks for sharing hope you do more of these in the future!
Yesterday I bought an 1986 International S1900 four door Cab and chassis. I was looking for Ideas and I love the box concept it really looks sweet. I got a old '04 ford dually box I may go that direction instead of flat bed. love the color too.
Great build I would have gone with a ford bed but that’s just me. Also one more thing I would have put the bed up another 2 inches just rise it up a lil other than that awesome truck
I just bought a 2002 International 4700 LP to do the same conversion. I had been contemplating a Ford Super Duty bed, but after watching this video I’m thinking that Ram bed looks pretty sharp and might be a better alternative. Great truck there.
Steven Plumley, the reason I went with the international 4700 instead of the 4900 as shown in the video is because even though they are the same body style, you can find 4700’s that are under the cdl weight rating and without air brakes.
Thanks for the video that's what am going too do with my over the road truck that i have sitting and dont haul freight any more thanks to all of the new CDL. Laws But there a Up Side i Got The Truck Brand New and Know It Right !! Thanks for the Great Idea !!!
I’m doing this to a 2010 Durastar. When shortening the frame did you have cut the driveshaft or were you able to just remove the intermediate shaft? I haven’t picked up the bed yet and I’m trying to figure that out.
Wow, that is a nice transformation. I got a 98 International 4700 crew cab I am making into a farm tow rig. Lots of inspiration here. Did the lightening of the springs help much on the ride?
Nice!! Looking at a 2015 International 4300. (old Penske moving truck) to do the same thing with. Only question is cutting out the frame. Any special requirements for cutting and rewelding? thanks
This is amazing 👍👍👍 great job on both the build as well as the documenting and presenting it ... Sweet and Simple 👍👍👍 how long did this process take from buying it to pulling the trailer with it and do you still have it and if so does it still run and doing okay ???
Great job man. I am currently customizing my 1964 Mack B61. I had some frame questions for you as I'm planning on chopping and connecting a much newer rear frame. Can I email you? Thanks
Try a newer Ram dually long box. And if you want to keep it 10ft, take it to a custom fabrication shop and have the fabricate and extra 2ft. That is, if you havent already done this.
