1964 Travelall and 1967 Travelette All Wheel Drive's

[Robert Kenney]

The bed has a manufacturers tag and I recall moorly or something similar from Pennsylvania. I'll sneak a peak this weekend when I visit them..
The truck was shipped to IH in anaheim so makes sense that the conversion was done locally..

 

[IHRunner]

Thatd be kinda cool if the IH dealership used it as an IH service truck. My grandpas 1300 was a service truck that did on site repairs for farmers. Lots of tires got pulled behind that truck.

 

[Robert Kenney]

The truck body was made by morysville body works in pa. The bed is late 60's vintage same as the truck.
Another very degraded label reads "distributed by kpk los angeles California".

I do believe this is the original configuration of this truck. The guy I bought it from told me that he purchased it from the original owner and that the camper was on it at that time.

I also believe the hd Dana fa was original to the truck or installed by the dealer. On the LST it is not possible to distinguish the whether the fa is the fa-18 hd or the fa-15 small knuckle. The fa-18 is in it so I guess that clears up the LST. Only the max gross vehicle weight does not read right on the data plate.. Who knows a couple of pix and a better video of it running.. http://youtu.be/1zku9bxw0oo

While poking around the t-ette I found two tags tied to the front and back seats. Dated feb 24 1970 and appear to have an IH part number on them 377546-c1-a. Tells me this thing was updated/altered near to 1970. The LST clearly stated "bucket seats w/console" an odd change but this is probably when the camper was added. I am guessing on this detail....

 

[Robert Kenney]

I hear that on many IH trucks they glue/stick the LST under the dash some where. Where would that be on the pickup/t-ette? Would be cool to find it..

 

[Scoutboy74]

To the fiber jockey box liner. I've also seen them glued to the passenger a-pillar. Talk about a horrid location. No chance for moisture contamination there...oh no never.

 

[Robert Kenney]

I tried to feel around the box but not able to get good access to the top. Would you expect the LST to be on the top? If so I'll see about looking.

 

[Scoutboy74]

I wouldn't rule out the top or back surfaces of the box, Robert. I hope you find it. Good luck.

 

[FDChappie]

I've found them on the top of the box on d series pickups.

 

[Smith]

Those are 2 very cool rigs! I have found the LST on the back of the glove box in all my d series trucks as well.

 

[Bill Bennett]

Did you check the top side of the driver side sun visor?

 

[jeff campbell]

I even found 1 on the passenger door a piller, in between the hinges, Jeff

 

[Robert Kenney]

Thanks for the location ideas. Pretty much looked in all of the places mentioned here + a few others.. No dice.

good so far on the t-ette.
Super clean interior
straight body
runs and drives remarkably well using the e-brake only on the airport around the hanger.
Floors are rusty under the carpet but as far as I can see no holes.
All electrics seem to function.
Steering very tight.
No leaks what so ever.
Lifters very quiet.
Coolant still good and green.
Have camper jacks and am making mounts to attach to under edge of camper. ($500.00 set of 4 new).

Bad for the t-ette.
Camper.
Mild cowel rust through around the vent tubes under dash.
Small amount of drip rail rust.
Camper.
Has/had brake leak in front system.
Service bed.
No good pu bed available yet.
Did I mention camper.................

 

[Robert Kenney]

Mounted the jack adapters/mounts and we have lift off..

Didn't know that there were 4 bolts through the floor that held the camper in.

sounds like 87kg is going to be in la verne to pick it up today about 1-2 pm.. Will be nice to have thetruck freed from the extra weight so I can get on with fixing the brake issue and what ever else May turn up.

 

[Plug Ugly]

I have much want for the t-ette.

 

[Robert Kenney]

No camper any more. 87king came out from az and picked it up.
The t-ette looks way different in a good way.

 

[87king]

The camper made it home with me safe and smoothly, the trip went excellent and the camper did great all the way home. It didn't even move a inch lol thanks again buddy for everything and waiting for me running late as usaul I am super excited to have it and start fixing up the little things in it. Its plenty big enough for me and my girlfriend it would of been funny to video us standing around thinking uhhhh hows it going to fit on any thing lol but we got it. Today after work cleaning begins

 

[Robert Kenney]

I'm happy you wanted and were willing to come get it... Hope it is what you needed and can get it acceptably mounted on your IH.

When you are done with the camper jacks let me know and I'll give you the address to ship them back to..
Then will end up being a body off lift/rack for cars or trucks...
I snapped a photo as you pulled away.

 

[Robert Kenney]

I tore in to t-ette's brakes, master cylinder was done and leaking so I got a kit and went about rebuilding it. A bit of pitting so I might need a new one if it still leaks.
Pulled the wheels and drums (impact tool to loosen the 3 retainer screws on the drums. The brake shoes and cylinders are great no leakages evident. Drums measure a bit under 12" so they are good...
I like the orange drums. The last owner liked to paint things bright colors.

The rears are a different story. some one ran them to the rivets and the grooves are ground super deep and I'll need to source drums. Think I found a possible limited source (Ismail brother) but he needs to remove a few and check condition. I think he'll come through. Wheel cylinders are toast too. Have all of the parts I need on the way so hope to make progress this weekend..

The clutch master is leaking too, need to disassemble to see if there are any pits in that bore. If so Jeff has a brand new replacement.

Pictures later got to go eat diner's ready!!

 

[87king]

If you need drum repair I can get it done for you, but shipping those suckers would be a bear! I hate finding neglect off service like that great picture by the way.
