62 Travelette for sale SOLD
Partially restored. We bought this because my husband thought restoring a truck would be a fun hobby for him. Turns out, not so much. (very expensive lesson, I must say.) it's been mostly sitting since 2003 when the restoration work stopped. We used it to pull a trailer to yosemite and it did the job very nicely. In spite of its detrimental effect on my finances, I'm fond of the beast and would like to see it go to a loving home.
It was beat to heck when we got it. (in retrospect, it probably should have ended its life as a parts car.) the previous owner had used it to haul rocks so the bed had lots of dents. I think it's a 3/4 ton. It has a tow package and pto. Manual transmission 4 speed, 4wd.
What's been done to it (that my husband remembers at this point):
it has new glass, including custom windshield, and new windshield rubber, new carpet, seats have been double-stuffed reupholstered. New headliner. Dents in bed have been hammered out but there is some bondo. It's been painted but the paint job is kind of like a monet--looks great from a distance but a mess close up. New wheels and tires. New dual exhaust. New rubber door seals. New shocks, new brakes, replaced a coil spring. New aftermarket air conditioner installed under dash, needs ductwork but blows cold air. New window guides in doors. We've spent about $12k on this, and contributed to the financial well-being of many dealers in genuine IH parts.
What needs to be done: (note: this is from inspection by third party mechanic, mostly not my personal firsthand knowledge) brake lights work, turn signals don't. One headlight works. Needs new wiring harness. No felt or rubber on windows in the doors. Steering ram assist is disconnected. The front axle needs new seals at the knuckles. Needs new tierod ends. Needs new front leaf springs and bushings. The transmission needs a new throwout bearing. The transfercase needs new output bearings. The ujoints need replacing. The tach, fuel guage, license plate light, front turn signals, low and high beams don't work. Bed is only bolted down with 2 bolts. Needs body work and new paint. Hole and metal cracking by doors. Headliner needs redone. No battery hold down.
Asking $4,000 but will consider any reasonable offer.
Truck is located in rocklin, CA, outside of sacramento. Call 530-613-0213 or email dianeb36@hotmail.com. I can email additional pictures if necessary.
