That humorous thread on the '76 International got me thinking about a 2WD crew cab with an 8' box I heard of. Can you get parts for an I-H at NAPA?

Anything else that should scare me?

Yes, you can buy parts at NAPA.

They used Dana axles and transfer cases, Warner manual transmissions and Chrysler 727 automatics.

The IH 256, 304, 345, 392 SV series engines were known as the "Bread truck motor" because they went in everything, 3-ton and under until around 1991. You can still buy a lot (nearly all) the engine parts if you dig around a bit.

If NAPA doesn't have it, yout local IH / Navistar dealer will.

Heck, IH had the windshield gasket for my '56 3/4 ton still in stock a few years ago.

Engine stuff is out there, but expensive. Body parts involve a sheet of 18Ga, an english wheel and a bead roller.

There are some odd tune up parts- Prestolite ignition is not too bad, but they used a Holley ignition system as well. Best o' luck with that one.

my uncle works at an international corporate owned dealer, anything still available from them he can get. he happens to have a 75 scout XLC and they still had some of the XLC decals.

English wheel?

I have a 50's IH but I did have a 1979 Scout at one point.

I think by the 1970's, the IHC design department had forgotten all about compound curves. Those trucks have the aerodynamics of a tool shed.

Check the binderbulletin.org for parts sources. I used to get parts from Scout Madness. I thinly the are in TX.

I had a 70 1200D. I miss it.

And, of course, you are right. I should edit that to 18 ga steel, a sheet metal break and a large hammer.
