This truck has been sold. Thank you all.

[@kennethwilliams5407]

My dad had a 67 step side pickup, then scouts. I now have his 75 Scout ll that has been semi restored, It is a driver that goes to town and works around the farm. So glad to see someone doing IH

[@MichaelThomas-wb2xu]

Not everything needs to be cut-up and "restomoded", it's great to see history preserved!

[@406garage3]

Agreed 👍

[@55desotomine]

Couldn't agree more! I hate chopped and swapped.

[@Ramcharger85]

Like the looks. My great uncle had a 70 that was custom order by a farmer who changed his mind and bought a 3/4 ton instead. According to my uncle, it was built like a 1 ton, but it was a half ton. Loved it. Wish my dad never sold it after inheriting it.

[@andrewturner67]

Man, oh man. I have always wanted an international. I love everything you have. I wish I had the extra money to get one. Hopefully one day.

[@michaelvandalen3367]

The Hans/Auburn, Wa truck in the back…extreme want!

[@user-iw4oy7yk1j]

That's a beautiful international pickup I would really love to own that its in awesome shape i love international grew up in my dads when I was a kid owed 2myself😊😊😊

[@9x6x]

“Wicked Straight” is wicked good. You’d fit-in just fine in the 207. 😎

[@roytiller4537]

Oh seeing that truck brings back some memories. My mom and Dad had a one similar year only it had a Chinook camper on the back of it.. We took that thing on every dirt road we could to go from Bend to Winnemucca Nevada and back.. From it being 103 degrees with no AC or the vapor locking going up the steep mountain road to the Hart Mountain hot springs or being told by my father to hold on we've lost the breaks when we were about halfway down a steep mountain road because the brakes got too hot or just breaking down in the middle of the Black Rock dessert on the way to Winnemucca. Lot's of adventures were made in that truck motorhome conversion . They weren't the most handsome of trucks but they are still cool. Thank you for rescuing these trucks......

[@charleshicks3492]

I had A 66 step side, excellent off rode

[@charleshicks3492]

Nice truck😅!!!

[@edwinschlee8374]

Apparent he didn't like green! Has been very well taken care of.

[@eirik_halvorsen]

In Norway there are a few of these trucks, I can imagine, but I have only seen the later models. BUT I am all into the small details you talk about. Specifically, and it's not an IH only thing; the seat belts! I have a childhood memory of the same style knuckles/buckles/locks/whatever it's called. European cars from the late 70's (at least) and up all have/had plastic types. Somewhere in the 90's I sat in a squarebody Suburban for the first time and the seat belts made such an impression, these metal ones. Still, every time I see a similar one it takes me back 🤩 Great CAR, as we 🇳🇴 would call it! Love the combination of colors outside/inside!

[@markgish1209]

I have a 1968 1500C that I would like to sell. It's kinda rusty , but only 36000 miles. 304 4 speed. Great drive train.

[@rogercamp6071]

Our family had one like this that Dad ordered new, the side trim as I recall was part of the Deluxe interior package, my uncle was an IH dealer so he and Dad sat down one evening and ordered it just like he wanted, right down to the special color orange paint,it came out right around $2700 and with the Winnebago topper he bought for it came out almost $3000 when it was ready to pick up he,my uncle and cousin drove to the plant in Springfield,Ohio to pick it and a new Loadstar up to take home

[@gayle4804]

This is a very nice truck truck someone is gonna be very lucky when they buy it

[@ACF6180T]

That is what I would call a real truck ! I've always been a Chevrolet truck guy & Massey Ferguson tractor guy! But always respected anything I/H & drove I/H Dura-Stars , Trans-Stars, & Pro-Stars for a living as well as other heavy duty brands but loved the I/H 's the most ! & This is just one stout P/U ! & IMHO what is there not like about it ? It's the complete heavy duty package that you would want in a half ton P/U & then some . Thanks for the awesome video on this rugged yet beautiful truck.

[@brucemcgee2281]

Grew up driving a 1960 International B120 with a steel bed. I miss it all these years later.

[@donaldhalls2189]

That's an excellent rig, like you said no rust, beautiful, thanks for showing us, hope you find it a great forever home, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@kens.3729]

1st Video I’ve watched on your Channel and Subscribed. Casey finally talked you into it. You’re a Natural and Down to Earth. 👍

[@406garage3]

Thank you Ken

[@BHUFF]

Awesome!

[@lesabre1972]

I love the international heavy duty for 68 and still better than all the trucks you could buy today. just imagine if you hit a honda in this truck hahaha pore honda and you would probably drive away.

[@tedfisk1211]

Great looking truck. The hood reminded me about the 1968 Travelall I drove to college in the 70s. Snow would get in under the hood and blanket the engine far too easily and I had to call AAA several times to correct the situation. I eventually got a blanket and threw it onto the engine to prevent the snow.

[@gordonmurray3153]

Standing there in the rain, water running off everything, Casey just posted a couple shorts of snow trips in lush green forest, explaining why these trucks won't rust in Montana, or Oregon, hmm? 🤔 😉

[@papatomsthoughts]

Great truck, I think a brother in law of mine had this same year. Not near as good of shape and that was 50 years ago.

[@EatCarbs]

Damn! That's a sweet looking truck. Thanks for the video

[@justinmills8084]

Sweet truck

[@michaelquillen2679]

Nice truck. You say that 1968 was the last year for the 1100C. I had a 1969 1100C back in the day (bought it in Billings. Montana in 1972). Wasn't 1969 a "change in production" year; started with the C's and then introduced the D's later? Loved that little truck! Thanks for the video!

[@danielsmith9500]

You guys are living a dream. So many amazing trucks that y’all get to put ur hands on and not to mention it’s so beautiful there plus your place is so amazing! Thank u

[@daniellebuehner8441]

pretty cool truck my dad had a 1965 1100 2 wheel drive with a manual and his brother had a 1968 1100 series too both were the same color when they go to coffee at the elevator on Saturday they were called the twins.. lol great truck I learned to drive in the 65.. my dad's .. I would love to have one again someday hopefully. Thanks for sharing this truck brought many memories of our truck.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

Every time I see your beautiful trucks makes me wish I still had one of my '52 IHs. Talk about a tank. Nobody built a tougher truck...and I have had chevys and Fords too. I had a '66 and a Scout II as well so I got to know them. I'm no IH guru like Ben, but I know enough to like them.

[@royandrade2929]

Nice truck

[@craigluhr3034]

This is a true beauty. I really love the front clip style. This year is my favorite.

[@bobpearce3665]

Great story, great truck. Hope it finds a good home.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice and solid truck. I wish my '68 Travelette had that solid of a cowl 🤣

[@wyattoneable]

Wow, what a nice truck. I'm so glad I found your channel. My dad was a International Harvester parts store employee in the 40's, in Sidney Montana (Where I was born) and he always loved IH. Subscribed.

[@derekgilbert2884]

Beautiful truck , International Harvester truck 👍 great video keep up telling us stories behind trucks and great days wagoneer

[@billjcanada]

Love cornbinders, my dad and I drove them for many years.

[@billbeck47]

Behind you, I owned that light green IH truck with a full cab (windshield to tailgate) Don't remember what yr it was, but it had floodlights on the roof. It was a blast in the snow and great on the road. The seats were a saddle brown. It was driven down to Orlando, FL. to work on a citrus farm. Loved that beast. Too bad you're so far away from Illinois.

[@jeffreypinder9398]

That is a nice truck. Well kept.

[@douglasmckee754]

Sweet Binder..

[@MrWill73]

Beautiful truck!👍👍👍👍

[@maxxcherry6955]

Great looking ol truck. Back in the day I wish I could have purchased it new. Or, I wish I had the funds to do a total frame off restoration.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

My Grandfather had one , I think 1966 rear wheel drive..

[@ihatedietcola7920]

Wow such an awesome truck!!!!!!!!

[@derrickodyes1934]

Nice truck! My neighbor had a C model 4x4 3/4 ton. Had a few rides there were more controls and intructions for operating 4x4 than a 747 had for landing

[@levergun]

Love the truck and love your channel, Ben.

[@406garage3]

Thank you

[@johnlarson869]

I had a campermobile

[@donaldpeck8519]

Amazing. We had a 68 1200.

[@Bama1963]

awesome truck, great video

[@russgoertzen6188]

Waiting to hear the story of the B series in the background. First truck was a B-100. Wish I had it back.

[@406garage3]

Coming soon.

[@markchandler90]

Hey Could you please do a video explaining the different manual transmissions offered and shift patterns?

[@Bama1963]

In case you are interested, On Steve Magnate"s KZbin channel his latest video is of a International B170 in a salvage yard, it looks pretty clapped out but the doors look like they might be salvageable.

[@406garage3]

Yes I watch him all the time 👍

[@martinshelley2332]

#1 Is that a 9' bed??? looks really long--like the way you put it about the truck " Adopt this truck". Really cool the way you put it. I am floored a how well you do your videos--top notch quality. You do an excellent job as always and sound is crystal clear. Thank You Ben Once able to return to work will adopt one of your trucks.

[@406garage3]

It is in fact only a 8ft bed 😁

[@martinshelley2332]

@@406garage3 Sure looks like 9' bed. My boss had an International when you undid tailgate it touched the concrete so was like having a ramp to load things. Sure made it a lot easier for loading heavy items.

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

That original green paint makes me think it was once a forestry truck? Sweet truck though.

[@lopin890]

Another great story of a great truck... Thanks for keeping the histories alive and passed on, Ben!!😎 Stay FROSTY.... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel.... 🇺🇸🇺🇸WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇺🇸NCSWIC🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@andrearoberts9299]

My dad was a International guy and so am I. Would you be interested in a 1969 International Loadstar? We are the original owners. My grandaddy use to have a 1974 3/4 International pickup. It was a very good and tuff truck. I have helped put 4 tire chains on it in the winter time.

[@weshawkins7165]

Great looking truck, love the old trucks. Where do you find parts when you need to.

[@406garage3]

[@donnathompson3906]

i love I H runs from my blood

[@jamescarey9197]

Beautiful truck, it's a shame though, it's the same age as me and in better shape 🤣😂😅😳

[@throttlewatch4614]

That half ton truck is probably more stout than a modern 3/4 ton

[@406garage3]

Agreed 💯

[@jamesherder3712]

Is that issue with the rust on both sides or just the drivers

[@mountainman971]

Educate me. I saw 1100 and thought two wheel drive. I'd expect 1110 for 4wd? My understanding is the 10 designates 4wd. (Or in IH words which I love "all wheel drive.")

[@danthechevymanc6b475]

Awesome truck but you are a little overcautious with the tires. As long as they have enough tread to get good traction and no serious dry rot cracks it doesn't matter how old. The tires on my old truck lasted 14 years and around 80,000 miles before it was time to replace them. Most trucks would need them replaced sooner than that since my truck is really lightweight and that does make a big difference on tire life but 5 years is nothing.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

The rubber starts to harden after as little as two years and you get less traction, but that said, I am driving on 15 year old tires on my Falcon. I've also owned tires that started to crack after just a year. I totally get Ben's approach though. Everyone is different, and the guy that replaced the brand new tires I put on the Land Cruiser I sold him...

[@cabbyhubby]

That things uglier than a mud duck on a picket fence ... I Like It !

[@danielwangler532]

How much for this little jewel 💎, also I see a FJ 40 in the back. Let me know thanks

[@406garage3]

Fj40 belongs to a customer , not for sale sorry. Brown 68 is already pending sale.

[@gf19677]

Question how much is the ballpark figure price on a similar truck?

[@joeking8028]

Where can you find brake drums.

[@DavidGonzalez-61shamy]

How long dose it take for your trucks to be on your website?

[@406garage3]

We just redid several things on the backside of the website. I'm going to try and be better about uploading them. But with youtube now and our Instagram page, they may not always make it to the website.

What do you think of the Volkswagen company buy the rights scout from IH love your shows love international my dad had two a 1968 3/4 ton 4x4 and a 1970 3/4 ton 4x4 with a pro winch From Nova Scotia Canada 👍

[@406garage3]

WOW all the way from Nova Scotia! That's absolutely amazing! Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching! Do you see any Old Internationals running around still up there in Nova Scotia? If so it would be amazing for you to take some photos of them up there and send them through to us here at 406garage.com!

[@bread-gz3rl]

I'm from NS too, also someone I know has a 1210 4x4 too. Last time I saw it it was dragging logs out in the woods. I also know of 2 fire department loadstars

[@markworth7609]

Haven’t seen too many climate not too kind to vehicles the 68 I think was 6 cylinder step side and the 70 was 304 fleet side unfortunately I rolled and totaled the 70 but I will keep an eye out and send pic’s if any are around

[@bread-gz3rl]

@@markworth7609 the trucks here are more drivable frames with trim then anything lmfao, even the 10 year old trucks are breaking in half.

[@bread-gz3rl]

So uh apparently there's a obscene amount of old internationals with very little to no rust that are cheap as hell that came outta nowhere, unfortunately they're all halfway or more across the county.

[@jeffring1222]

I think someone has a cornbinder hoarding disorder

Ben you getting ready to have a blowout memorial day weekend sale with all the for sale vids of late?

[@406garage3]

No sorry , but we sell great trucks everyday.

[@Nackdad]

@@406garage3 I knew the answer just kidding... Waiting on client's gear to ship (supppy chain bs) so I can get paid. Then I want to talk about the 69 PTO. I have more questions. Think it's only fair I have the money to pull the trigger before I make you go out of your way with my prepurchase checklist. So no episodes on 69 for a little bit. Lol
