IHCS New Arrival "Earl"

[SS2]

Well "earl" has landed. After an 8hr drive home from prairie city he now rests at ihcs. I should note that the drive over only took 4 1/2 hours..
but in true International form he made it 277 miles home without missing a beat. I did find out he has a 5spd. But even so his top speed was about 52 mph. Once on a down hill I did see 57 on the gps.. so I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the rearend gears. Here are some more pics.

We did this alot.

Home at last!

State of the art fire suppression equipment.

Shifting for dummies..

Your truck looks awfully nice. It won't take much to make that truck like new.

The top speed sounds about right.

My '51 l-170 motors along right nicely at 50 mph. At 55 mph the steering and brakes get a little scary.

I like the mirrors on your truck--not! My truck came with updated mirrors. It is so nice to have something larger than a peephole to see what is behind you.

That is very cool.

Great truck!! Only you would jump into a rig that has been sitting for how long???, fire it up and drive it home without missing a beat.

Will we see it in the parade this Saturday?
