Suburban Relapse

Someone really needs to save this piece of history.

[@bobhill3941]

Yes, they do, this is really unique for what it is and the features it has. I'm shocked the floors aren't rotted away from the rubber floor mats and I love the patina.

[@MultiHotrod74]

I had a buddy about 30 years ago whose dad had 2 of these in his yard, both 3/4 ton 4wd's. Talk about beasts. One had been used locally for a rural school bus when new and probably the first 20 years of it's life. Shoulda picked it up then, but it's long gone now.

[@jaydoucette1186]

My first vehicle in 1972 was 1965 Travellall for$150. I had to rebuild the 304 v8. It took forever to set the timing because it was set off TDC of #8. The first time I drove it to school the brakes failed as I came up to a four way intersection. Drove across the lawn at the corner and kept going. Sometimes I wonder how I made to retirement age!

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

😂 don’t we all? Great story! 150.00 dollars? Well worth the story alone! Bet you needed some foam remover after that ride! LOL!

[@gregorylyon1004]

That truck is awesome. I love it. No frills, just a simple system

[@valhallajones3865]

My parents had a 1966 Travelall similar to this one. I believe they bought it new. Some friends of theirs had an early '60s 5th gen GMC Carryall and my folks thought it was a great type of vehicle for a young family. It was medium blue with white. Two wheel drive. No idea what engine or transmission. For many years this vehicle hauled the family and loads of stuff on our annual trip from NJ to the Outer Banks along with routine around town duties. My father liked to surf fish and he traded in the '66 on a 1974 Travelall with four wheel drive so we could drive on the beach to fishing spots. Light blue with woodgrain. It had a 392 with 727 Torqueflite and Dana axles. Dual fuel tanks. My first time driving was in this vehicle on a wide beach where I couldn't hit anything. I inherited it when I moved to Florida in 1986. A dozen years of New Jersey rust had taken its toll and I no longer needed such a vehicle so I let it go. I wish I had either of these trucks today. Great video, Steve!

[@jakebob5101]

Cool feature for the clutch on the IH trucks were they had a hydraulic clutch which was part of the master cylinder.

[@jeffdalrymple1634]

Whoever owned it, loved it and took pride in it. It's ironic how in '59 I.H. marketed the Travelall as a successor to the station wagon. The marketing was 50 year ahead of it's time. SUVs pretty much replaced everything.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

It wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Ray was singing happy retirement to me as he drove off the lot. Being a 2WD, I have a feeling that it was a "snow bird" vehicle heading to Florida with a travel trailer in tow for the winter and back up north when the weather broke in the spring.

[@SteveMagnante]

Well said!

One very nice junkyard vehicle worth bringing back to life. Most Steve shows us look like they would break in half if anyone tried to move them. This appears to be very rust free

[@TrashcanGarage]

That's project worthy right there. From the quick shots in Steve's video it looks fairly solid. The paperwork and owner history is a cool added bonus. Might have been a one owner ride.

[@michaellinner7772]

I sometimes forget just how far back the use of plastic goes back in vehicle production. Seeing windshield washer fluid or radiator overflow tanks made of plastic even way back in the early 60s when I was born still surprises me. I get what you mean about the history and trucks but to be fair, way back when pretty much all vehicles were trucks. It's not anything being added but rather it was what wasn't there especially in the beginning. With no rows of seats they were left with flat, simple boards and/or plywood making up the vehicle behind the driver. The knowledge that you share and impart with us is truly fascinating and I consider it to be a very generous gift to learn from your experience and knowledge. I think it all needs to be documented for future generations to also learn from. Thanks for sharing because it's caring. All my best Steve.

[@mec7568]

Per the Line Setting Ticket, this Travelall has a 304 V8, a 4.78:1 Power-Lock rear end, and a T-8 3-on-the-tree transmission with Overdrive 4th! I believe the under-dash knob to the right of the trailer brake controller is for that overdrive. This is definitely a rare one!!

[@rjosephobrien]

Had a TravelAll when our four boys were youngsters and gas was more affordable. We found every excuse to take that out on family adventures. Thanks for stirring those memories for me!

[@Hyrev1]

Praying you get back to good health Steve.

[@leddygee1896]

In the Mid '90s in southern Nevada, A real clean 1972 4 Wheel drive version of this vehicle came up for sale in the vicinity of where I was living at the time... I wish I could have bought it right then and there. It was a White exterior, with a camel Interior, and Air conditioned to boot!! I just didn't have enough cash at the time.

[@mymoparstoo]

[@sixpkrt901]

My dad taught me to drive in a 66 International Travelall exactly like this one. Same color, same 3 on the tree. However, it didn't have the knee chiller AC unit like this one does. This video brought back some serious memoires.

[@Steve.Cutler]

A resto mod screaming to happen! So many ways this could be an amazing ride!

[@ddellwo]

Trying to wrap my mind around how rare a set of IH-branded West Coast mirrors must be……😮 I have to admit that I sometimes get a bit melancholy watching these videos and think about how it feels as if we’re actually REGRESSING automotively! When our parents and grandparents went to purchase a new vehicle, it was like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet! So many choices, so many designs, so many options! When we go to order a new vehicle nowadays, it’s more like standing in line at the prison cafeteria and taking whatever “slop” they happen to throw on your tray! Or worse yet, shopping for a new computer instead of a new vehicle…….☹ AND STAY OFF MY LAWN…….😂

In 66 I believe the suburban only had 2 doors. They got the 3rd door in 67 and the 4th in 73 like you mentioned.

[@dunebuggy1286]

I remember my Dad had bought a used IH pick-up similar to the picture on the owners manual. In about 1974 or so. But it was a stepside. Dark green with white bumpers and grille. I was about 10 or 12 YO at the time. But the most distinguishing thing I remember was when you drove it, it sounded just like my school bus. Probobly similar motor and trans.

[@nickfiore9583]

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

[@flashg67]

My Paternal Grandfather had one of these. He passed away at the age of 54 in June 1967, just a few weeks before I was born in July 1967, so I never got to meet him. I remember my late Dad telling me that this was what he drove. My Grandfather was working for a farm supply company that also sold International Harvester tractors. This company sold fertilizer/farm supplies also so my Grandfather would make sales calls to the local farmers in the area. This was a great video to see today.

[@jeffreysproul9110]

My granddad's pickup is a 63 IH 1000 stepside with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree in a similar blue. My nephew has it and has restored it back to original only 63k miles. I learned to drive on that IH along with many of my family. This Travelall is definitely savable that body is in good shape.

[@corey6393]

I can't recall ever seeing a manual trailer brake controller. That is pretty neat.

[@5695q]

I have owned three of them over the years, first was a '64 1200D 2wd, 4spd with 266ci. It had a Borg Warner with granny first and would pull a house if you had traction. Second was a '70 1200D with a 392ci and Clark 3 speed automatic, the engine was blown so I bought a '71 that was in Truck trader, it had a 345ci and BW 4spd, engine and trans was swapped into the '70 and that's where the trans tunnel panel was nice, couple of screws and we are in business, engine and transmission mounts were also easy since bolt holes were already in the frame. ih sold them with many engine and driveline options along with interiors. The '64 and '71 had a hard rubber floor that was clear all the way to the front seat so a sheet of plywood laid flat, the '70 had a nice carpeted interior with cloth instead of vinyl on the seats. At the time you could pick a nice one up for less than 1500 dollars, Wish I still had one of mine.

[@jonathangehman4005]

They're going to be getting some calls about this one. Judging by how fast decent Travelalls sell around here I betcha' that nice old thing isn't going to see another winter in that yard

[@mytmousemalibu]

[@russchiappa4870]

That’s a really nice looking truck it looks mostly complete even if it needs engine work or transmission rebuild it’s a pity is sitting there in the woods. Friend of mine had the pick up truck version in high school the thing was a burnout machine talk about torque wow!

[@peterantonopoulos2572]

Good morning Steve..

[@nh5er237]

My parents had two of the travelall’s for towing a camper. In 1977 they went to a suburban.

[@tima6549]

I had a 66 travelall 4x4 with lockers front and rear, an electric rear window, a 345 4 speed, and a factory installed roof spotlight. That thing was an unstoppable beast. I remember climbing a near vertical bank with that tank. Super cool rig. Later on I had a 74 Travelall that was an ex state vehicle with a HUGE winch mount bumper on the front.

[@yellowdog8092]

I agree this needs to be saved. It’s still in good shape. Hey Steve, you can see what size the IH v8 are, look below the head at the number 2 cylinder (curbside front) there is a raised little block stamped with engine serial number and the size. It’ll say SV266 or SV304 and so on. SV stands for small block MV is medium block. I don’t remember the designation for big block. Thought you might like to know.

[@johnwelsh4054]

I remember a TV ad for these maybe in 1965,66 don't quite remember. In the ad a family has just bought a big travel trailer and the salesman was telling them all the mods their car would need to tow it " or you can get one of those" as he points to a trailer leaving the lot being pulled by a Travelall

[@googleusergp]

Don't forget that Jeep had the Wagoneer in the 1960s as well which would have been a direct competitor to this and the Suburban. Yes, the 1961 to 1968 models were called the "C and D Series" and were considered the third generation (1st was 1953 to 1957, 2nd was 1958-1960, 3rd was 1961 to 1968, 4th was 1969 to 1975.). As others stated, I think you meant to say "266 V8". Also as noted by others (and you a few times, lol), Raymond Loewy designed the logo. I would guess that the IHC under dash unit was rebadged for them by someone, say Mark IV or the likes of them. Benny from Classic Ride Society on You Tube would be one to weigh in on that, since he used to service them and collects them, featuring ones he finds on his channel. I comment frequently on that channel as well. Yup, with the partial VIN, we win: H for Springfield, OH assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The first six digits of the VIN denote the order code/invoice model. IHC serial numbers were a bit odd for a while, as were many makes until things got "standardized" in the 1970s. By 1981, the 17-digit VIN format that we have today was the norm. The original selling would have been IHC Corporation, 268 Park Street, West Springfield, MA 01089. This eventually became Keeley International and then Western Massachusetts Truck Center. Today this is Allegiance Truck Center who is a large conglomerate that has bought up a number of IHC/Navistar dealers in various places along the Northeast. As a unique aside, my local municipality will eventually use a building that was at one time a Navistar dealer and I have been there numerous times over the years when it was a Navistar dealer. That line ticket is gold to an IHC buff/restorer as that is the "Pontiac Historical Services' or "Marti" report for IHC. The information on it is invaluable. The original paint code is a two-tone code 6452 Turquoise/9120 Alpine White as shown on the bottom of the line set. Mr. Ray is I'm sure long passed away but that address still stands and the house has a long driveway, so perhaps Mr. Ray had a tractor or large snow blower to clear his driveway during the big MA snowstorms of the past. December 23, 1966 was a Friday, so Mr. Ray probably took his new purchase to perhaps get a Christmas tree or take it to Sunday Christmas mass as a shiny new vehicle. That weekend was anywhere between about 16 degrees and 30 degrees in Wilbraham, MA, but it doesn't appear that it was a white Christmas that year. I'm going to say the AC was a dealer install, but based on the build sheet/line set, the mirrors came on it when it left Springfield, OH where it was assembled. Navistar still operates a plant in Springfield, OH, and partners with GM to build their Silverado HD line there. Fontaine Modifications also has an assembly/modification plant there and I've been to it, most recently in November 2022. It is the main site for IHC/GM modifications, although, others are done there as we had a Ford F-550 modified there as the final stage manufacturer was also in OH for this project. IHC did have its own refrigeration unit and did make appliances for a time, but that business was sold to Whirlpool around the 1950s.

[@tomwesley7884]

Ha! You've got a brief snapshot of the day it was purchased and its new home. Is the odometer visible in the vidja? I'm thinking low mileage.

[@googleusergp]

@@tomwesley7884 Looks like 71,864 miles, so I'd bet that might be original mileage.

[@scotcoon1186]

When VW's owners bought out navistar, they cancelled the smaller engines and medium duty trucks, the only thing they have a hand in as far as design is the grill and hood, the rest is GM. Remember, GM had a medium duty line until 08-09, and almost sold it to navistar.

[@googleusergp]

@@scotcoon1186 There's a bit of both in the design. Not the best design either. Lots of gaps in the product compared to competitors.

The earlier version of the Travelall also had three doors sometimes, Internationals base V8 was a 266 then went to 304 and 345,we had a '68 1100 pickup bought new from my uncle who was an International dealer at the time.

[@Ogretone]

Thanks for featuring a Travelall! I grew up with a '64 Travelell that my dad got new. It had two tone paint, gray lower and white hood and top, had 304 V8, automatic trans, independent front end, chrome bumpers, tailgate, heater and am radio. I hope this one gets restored, it's way more solid than dad's West Virginia/Virginia driven Travelall was when he sold it in 1980.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

This would make a great restoration project. I hate being poor

[@SteveMagnante]

Me too! I'd save every one of them if I was Bill Gates or Elon Musk. But at least the exposure on these videos might lead to somebody buying what they see. They're all for sale! I stay out of the middle but Dale Hastings (owner of Bernardston Auto Wrecking) is always ready to sell stuff in the yard. His number is 413/648-9300 if anyone cares. Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante

[@rekord1969]

That’s such a useful classic truck, needs to be saved.

[@williamdavidson9009]

I've always had a soft spot for the Travelall since the yellow '66 that came to pick me up for kindergarten. There were only 2 kids in my area so they didn't send a big bus. Unfortunately rust was the downfall of all series of light duty IH trucks. I currently have a '66 pick-up that needs restoration

[@dowen1511]

And yeah these were the first common mans rig that would and could pull 20000 lbs no problem and with any of the v8 engine it just might go a bit slower with the 304 cid , vrs the 392. And you could not break them no way no matter what you did to them , I can also remember these engine being use on big gen sets and irrigation pumps back in the 60s and 70s in Nebraska and them things would be fired up at 5am and run screaming wide open all day till 8pm 4000 rpm every dam day for years , and they always had marvels mystery oil put in them !! And when you did service them for bearings the cylinder walls would just like a mirror and perfect cross hatch still most of the time rings rarely ever got worn out. As a kid I can still hear them screaming off in the distances on the gen sets no mufflers just a pipe going 10 foot in the air what a sound up close. And the amount of 18 cent fuel they would burn too once a week grandpa would buy 300 gallons of gas in the tank . lol. Them are days gone by now. But that ran the whole farm and shops during working hours .

[@gillgetter3004]

Saw lots more suburbans than those around Detroit back in the day, but always liked them. Had a scout II once👍

[@vettekid3326]

My eighth grade teacher drove one of those and his son was also in my Boy Scout troop so the Travelall made a great Scout hauler for campouts. They were so roomy you could haul four kids across no problem. He took one on the Alcan highway in 1959 hauling an Airstream trailer and that was when the road was still pretty much unpaved.

[@chrisscearce]

Hi Steve, great video on this International Travelall! This one looks to be in good shape with the documentation to go with it. That usually says that this vehicle was loved and taken care of. Never could figure out why someone would take the owner's manual out of their cars and not return them. It's not something to be put on a night stand to read before bed. I wish we got a look at the passenger side. I noticed the door dropped when you opened it, so it's gonna need some attention for sure. I bet that engine, if it isn't locked or frozen over, will run again. They are some of the toughest engines out there. I hope someone will rescue this one as I'm a fan of the Suburban and Travelall. I've owned a bushel full of Suburbans most K2500s. It's hard to find a Travelall that didn't look like it was in a bar fight and suffering from rigor mortis around here. The farmer's normally take good care of their vehicles it's the help that normally is to blame. So Steve do you have this in a model kit? I've never seen one. I have a few Scouts and some early pickups, but I can never lay my hands on a Travelall kit. Did anyone produce one? Have a blessed day everyone 🤙🏼 Namaste 🙏🏼

[@gteefxr3094]

I was thinking the same thing, "Don't tell me he has a model for this." 😀👍

[@dja1353]

My folks bought a tent trailer in around 1967-68 and we went on a week long tour of our home state Minnesota. Included was Hibbing, Minnesota’s iron mining area. So the giant (must have been International) dump trucks were all around. From the rim of the giant hole of an open pit iron mine looking down in- they looked like ants. Bob Dillon lived in Hibbing. Thanks Steve, looks restorable.

[@michaeldelaney7271]

Steve, thanks for showing us these interesting vehicles in your junkyard crawl series. I often read about the "weird" 3-door Suburbans but I wonder how many of those writers have small children. The 3-doors have stronger/stiffer/lighter bodies than a 4-door. And, no child in the back of a 3-door can ever exit the vehicle into traffic. We had a '71 VW Microbus with "only" a right side sliding door for passengers. My childless friends thought it was a terrible oversight to not have sliders on both sides. I didn't. It seemed very sensible to me. Manufacturers like to have sliders, or passenger doors, on both sides to save money. That way they only have to produce one body for left and right-hand drive markets (e.g. Ford Transit Connect). In '67 I had considered buying a Chevy Suburban. One of the biggest pluses for me was the 3-door configuration. I'm sure many other parents felt the same way.

[@michaelatkins9780]

IH trucks were underrated in the light truck market. They seemed to be ahead of styling ques from 48 through the mid sixties.

[@rossdean1997]

My first vehicle was a 64 International C1000 with a six and three speed manual. My father paid $1800 for it new. You might be wrong about the front suspension. It is probably a torsion bar like my truck was. The C900 truck has the extra short bed and a straight front axle. The master cylinder is for both the brakes and clutch. I still have the original owners manual some place and in there was listed a five speed manual with an underdrive first and over drive fifth. Your Travelall has a padded dash cover. Under that cover the metal stamping has a vinyl grain pattern stamped into it (cool). My six came with a Holley one barrel carb.

[@arthurrodriguez6878]

I had a 64 in 74 while in school in the Catskill Mountains. It had great traction for a two wheel drive. I was hoping you would mention the differential. Probably limited slip. It was great in snow. Unfortunately I wrecked it on ice, I was a poor student and had to let it go.

[@shcbac]

I believe prior to 1967 Chevy Suburbans were all two door models. Another competitor to the Travel All was the Dodge Town Wagon, up to 1966.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

Only 1 fuse box too! One part of my current project, a carbureted V-8 swap into a 1994 Ford Ranger will be a complete rewiring of the truck using an aftermarket kit. The fuse block will definitely be located for easy access!

[@BigMikesHooptyBarn]

True, although you can still warranty a Craftsman wrench today without any issue (although you'll likely get a foreign made one, not a US made one, at least for now). International/Navistar is iffy on parts. My former (now retired) coworker and her husband have a small trucking business in OH and she needed a DEF cap for a newer Navistar. On back order.

International was very popular my area of Vermont. Dad worked for the US Forest Service and they had some Travelalls and pickups. 95% of the area school busses were Loadstar chassis and every farm seemed to use their product(s).

[@BigRigTrav]

That truck is in wicked good shape! Definitely looks worth it to pull that out of there..

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

in 62 years, first I've ever heard of the TravelAll ! My father had a '69 IH truck for about 15 years, and in all that time I never heard of this vehicle, quite interesting indeed! Great video, Steve, as usual !

[@tomwesley7884]

Remember my neighbor had a later model, but he had an auto repair shop, so he'd sometimes work on the unusual.

[@markreisen7038]

My first rides to school in the mid 60's was in a blue Traveall from the early to mid 60's, then I would ride home in the Transtar busses made by IH. Brings back lots of memories. Thanks Steve..

[@peterkovacs8654]

A true survivor quality vehicle, an easy restoration, really nice

[@joshm3875]

Lineset lists the transmission as the T-8 Overdrive, which was the 3 speed with an electric operated auxiliary overdrive. I think the knob under the dash to the right of the brake controller. Also lists an International built RA-6 Powr-Lok (limited slip) rear axle in 4.78 ratio. Someone definitely built it to tow, International was the recommended tow vehicle by Airstream through that era. Some uncommon parts there.

FYI, Wikipedia says Raymond Loewy designed the IHI logo.

Terrific report, Steve!

[@rcnelson]

It's heartbreaking to see these horses sent out to the knacker. The Cornbinder my dad had was rudimentary even in its day but had 4wd; very usual in this area.

[@edwardbianchi192]

Original paperwork and that Ertl catalog is cool. Along with a standard IH. Never seen any of those items! Good one Steve and Shane!

[@kman-mi7su]

Steve, another excellent and informative video. Please do one on that red GMC? Cabover in the background. I'd love to see one on that and I'm sure others would too. Keep up the good work!! You or someone else should rescue that old Travelall. It would make a cool project for a new 4X4 frame and a 12V Cummins swap or Powerstroke (Since International/Navistar made the initial years of it) with appropriate transmission and running gear.

When I was a kid, my mom took us kids to the laundromat to do laundry (d’uh), and the owner always had his International Harvester truck parked outside and I still remember the name on it as the “Travelall”. Pretty sure it was white exterior with a red interior. Would have been around’66-‘68. That’s 55+ years ago. 😢😂🇨🇦👍

[@johngranato2673]

Very good show

[@windyhollowgarage]

My old neighbor had 2 of these in similar condition. I miss that fella.

[@seed_drill7135]

They have a "high wheeler" race at Hershey every year, which includes cutting off and restarting the vehicle. It's usually in IH vs. a Sears, as those were the most common types of high wheelers.

[@tedecker]

Spent quite a few miles in the back seat of a Travelall, working college summers for the state hiway department survey crew.

[@patokeefe5489]

Good morning, One of the unique things about a International v8 of that vintage is when you adjusted the ignition timing, you did it on cylinder #8, not cylinder #1, as in almost every other engine

[@gteefxr3094]

Neat tidbit of information, thanks.

[@daveridgeway2639]

Hi Steve, good video! The electric trailer brake control along the class III receiver hitch way be factory installed. I see factory "west coast" style mirror(s) still on the truck, very hard to find. I see factory air-conditioning on this 1966 International, very rare and hard to find, with the factory build sheet that stays with the vehicle as it travels down the assembly line. I would say this 1966 International Harvester Suburban Travelall will be sold this Monday @ 10:00AM. Please reply. Dave...

[@SteveMagnante]

In watching this video i FREEZE-FRAMED the "build sheet" and am totally bummed that I MISSED the Power-Lok diff, 4.89 axle ratio and OVERDRIVE unit that are all spelled out. Sometimes I rush these videos a bit and miss cool stuff. Anyhoo, Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante

[@DanKirchner5150]

that things in amazing condition

[@Eero_V]

A shame to see such a well-equipped and well documented example in the junkyard. It does not appear all that rusty either? It deserves to live on I think! Steve, I can't help but I feel always when you show us some brochures from your collection with pen-marks in them! Some of them have to be quite rare nowadays, maybe a yellow post-it instead of ball-point pen to highlight the text you want to show? Is that a Karmann Ghia in the background? The prettiest Volkswagen of all times.

[@howitusedtobe]

Always been a huge fan .. Walter Matthau in grumpy/grumpier old men had a super sweet Travelall

[@ostrich67]

When I was a kid in the early '70s our neighborhood volunteer fire department had one of these as an ambulance. One day it came for our next door neighbor Mr. Zimmerman. It was the last time I saw him.

[@georgetudhope]

Damn Steve, put on a coat you are making me cold

[@TorquePowerVideo]

Looks like the one Jacob built on the Puddin's Fab Shop KZbin channel. Same color, too!

[@jonnyc4898]

I remember those Rainbow Decals ... I think everyone .... well a lot of people placed them on cars in late 70's . Too funny,we had one on our Chevette.

[@SteveMagnante]

Those "rainbow" decals now remind me of the MTV / Jackass / Wild Boys production company logo, "Dickhouse Productions". How things change....Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante

[@frederickhettesheimer2698]

Great Video Steve. My first vehicle was a 1971 International Travel All 4x4 it was a Beautiful Truck. I believe all International trucks where built to order so not two trucks are similar.

[@danfay4860]

That thing looks pretty complete

[@RichardGoodman]

Next time you visit the I.H. check out the bottom of the outside mirrors! You will see a gap. Just push the spring loaded mirror in and slid it out the bottom to replace. Pretty neat!! Sincerely Richard Goodman
