Because I was tired of paying $145 a month to rent it, and I've FINALLY got room for everything here in my "new" digs.

NICE 4BT! Any plans? I have one in my Jeep and have thought of putting it in a bunch of other stuff.

It's headed for my '61 IHC Travelette...which is also getting a shortened M101a2 bed.

Who would think about a shortened 101 trailer bed for a pickup truck!?!

Start a thread on it

 

[michigandon]

Wheredja think I got the idea from in the first place?

That truck with a 4bt, somewhat modern drivetrain, newer axles that were maintenance friendly (I know some of that old international stuff can be hard to find) would be my daily driver in a heartbeat. Good looking piece of sheetmetal there.

HA!!! Is that all!

Believe it or not, it already has a newer Dana 60 front, power steering and disc brakes on all four corners. The cab does need some love, but between it and the one I'm getting from Wreckerman, I hope to be able to put one good one together.

I decided to go with the trailer bed because the utility box on it has a lot of rust, and I really don't have a need for it. And I know I'll never find an OEM bed on this side of the Mississippi that is in any kind of shape.

No, that was the last of it. Believe me, it was stuffed full when we first moved down here a year ago.
