I grew up "wheeling" in a 60's Scout and Traveall. A family of 6 in the Traveall, up in the Pioneer Mountains in Montana squeezing between boulders and climbing over others. Of course we did not call it wheeling, we went camping. I spent a lot of time in the Scout when I got old enough to hunt, and wish I had that one. In the summer of 1975 my mother went to a family reunion, and my stepfather went on weekend drills. My best friend and I cruised around in the Travelall, in Dillon Montana. Thankfully we never got pulled over, and my stepfather never found out Good Times!
Ive had mine since 1979 when i bought from my parents when I was 17. Im still driving it today. I have the same front suspension kit, but I added a raised GM Horseshoe steering arm and GM adjusable drag link on the IH 200 front axle to eleminate torque steer. I flipped the rear shackles and added Additional leaves with 1 inch blocks. Mine has been a daily driver for the past 40 yrs I owned it. 392, 727, rear axle is a GM 14 bolt.
We had 2 Travelalls when I was a kid, a gen 3 and then a gen 4. The gen 4 (1969) had the 345 and a 4 on the floor with 1st gear creeper gear, that thing would pull a house down in creeper gear. I took my driver's test in the '69, they were cool trucks.
My dad bought a 71 travel-all when I was in high school. Just two wheel drive, but still lots of fun in the mountains. Never got stuck, even after jumping a creek on accident, did have to finish removing the shock before moving on.

I'd love to see some more international videos... I'm currently rebuilding a 1965 scout 80 that was my moms first vehicle back when she was in high-school
I learned something new. Never knew those existed. Pretty cool rigs! You are spot on with the Quadrajet carbs opening up those secondaries. There is no other sound like those big bores dumping air and fuel down an engine. Great video guys!
Hi from uk guys, just started following tho watched few uploads so far but as wen al catch up love wat you thanks for supporting other guys I follow (am here now thats the main thing 👍👍) and 14:17 and 16:44 THAT WAS THE PHOTO NEEDED!!!
If you REALLY know International truck and pickups, the 345 engine is also a beast of an engine. I.H. put the 345 engines in MANY Medium Duty trucks, including farm trucks and school buses. I.H. changed their model numbering system in 1974. The 73's were the 1110, half-ton, 1210, 3/4 ton, and 1310, one ton. I bought a 1973 1110, 4x4, with the 345 & 4 speed manual trans., brand new, in 1973. Loved it, drove it a little over two years, traded it for a 1975 200 (3/4 ton), 4x4 with 4.10 rear-end gears, with the 345 engine. On both trucks I got MUCH better performance and better fuel economy by swapping the factory Holly 350 cfm 2 bbl carb for a Holly 500 cfm 2bbl carb. Also jetted the carbs down to run better in the higher altitudes of Colorado where I lived at the time. Awesome trucks. Also owned a 1977 Scout II, which also had the 345 engine and 4 speed manual trans. A family member owned around the same time a 1975 150 (the half-ton model number in 74 &75) I.H. stopped building pickups, and built ONLY the Scout II's after 1975.
That ‘71 is almost identical to mine! So cool to see another 3/4 ton with barn doors. Only thing is mine has 100 series badges. I wonder if it was originally a 1/2 ton
i miss the towtruck... ran & ran & ran neglected.. minimal parts found.. now we have internet & not have to call ppl.. lol 1991 many a day at drill press.. carving out pieces buy eye
As a Wisconsin boy, seeing you guys in winter bibs at 25 degrees is funny to me...of course I know the opposite is true, too. I couldn't legally strip off enough clothes to work through a Texas summer. If its above 90 degrees, I'm hiding in the air conditioning!
3 on the tree, V8 4x4 Travelall. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of one. Usually they had 4 or 5 speeds, or the automatic. Bet they didn’t build many that way. But there’s a lot of oddball stuff with IHs, they’d pretty much build anything you wanted.
Super Scout Specialist in Enon , Ohio owns the rights for international lite line , I had the opportunity to tour they're place and wow ! Great place to get parts and gear for any IH enthusiasts !
Bad ass rigs! Cant beat old school! I have a 76' Power Wagon with a Thermal Quad on the 440! It is a gas guzzling pig but I count it as smiles per miles! I cant help but open the carb up EVERY CHANCE I GET!!!!!
meories, I used to work for a drug store in high school and did deliveries in a Scout.. a 2 door version, short body... went everywhere even in a snow storm!
Grew up in YUKON and my first vehicle was a 1974 3/4 ton TRAVELALL it would pull great and was good up north for the time but man the gas mileage was terrible
Had an old scout remember going 4 wheeling on some hill were to steep to go forward up would turn around and go up backwards so carb wouldn't run out of gas
I had a 75 half ton pick up! Loved that had the 345 and 4 speed! Thing was bulletproof! Miss that truck! I want to find another one and cummins swap it or restore it!
Both of these are super cool but I really love the 3/4 ton I never realized they had a 3/4 ton travelall . So do you guys plan on keeping the patina or are you going to paint what is going to be the final result of these? I think just getting them in good working order and leaving them alone would be cool but painted and dressed up they'd be pretty damn nice too. Thank you 👍
Yeah my dad used to make the parts for them all them and use work IH made the parts for the scallops all that and the big trucks all that and then it went to many sold it and then my dad got mad because they sold to where they build them and stuff and they lost a lot of money all them guys then when he sold that contract for a scouts of stuff but they made some good trucks cuz my dad had a I think it was a 68 trucking stuff four speed on the column thank you
I just acquired a 1973 Travelall, 392, 4 barrel (AFB), All wheel drive w/locking hubs, dual tanks, ps, pb, ac, automatic. It is my first IH, never had any interest before this opportunity presented itself a couple weeks ago. Today was the 3rd day that I worked on it (just a couple hours each day). The seller purchased it in 1985 and parked it in 2011. Today I pulled the driver’s side fuel tank out so I can clean it. I have not tried to start it yet. The back glass does not respond with the key. I don’t see a fuse. I have two fuses that are dead on both sides, tail and panel. Can you offer any suggestions on opening my tailgate and/or diagnosing the rear window motor issue? Yours was the first RU-vid video I watched on the Travelall. Thank you
Haha, yeah buddy. A tractor for partying. The whole fam. Can go in one o those tractors. Put yer Sunday go to meetn cloths on sun. Hahaha. We goin ta town. Lol keepemcoming
Hey guys I'm in texas and just bought me a 1974 international travelall it's a 2wd I'm just wondering is there a way or a kit to convert it to 4wd? Thanks, awesome video btw!
I got a travel all,not sure exactly what year,either 69 70 or 71. Has 348 v8 4 speed. Says on fender badge…all wheel drive. Not exactly sure what that mean lol
Up until the eighties, four wheel drive was not common and suv's were still a ways out. As the jap crap moved in, we americans killed ourselves with stuff from japan and china. So anything with more than five lug nuts was just not popular for mag wheels to be on. Plenty of parts available.
