1973 IH 1210 Travelall with Detroit Diesel engine, 5 Spd, low miles, NICE! Iowa

1973 International Harvester 1210

This auction is for a 1973 whiteIH Diesel Travelall....I had this listed together withmy Detroit dieselPickup earlier, but decided to sell them separate.

I bought this and a '73Pickupabout 5-6 years ago from a gentleman in Washington state. He bought them from the original owners widow.

Here's the story.... in 1973,the International dealer in southern Washington got these in brand new, as well as 3 others.He tookall 5 (3 pickups and 2 Travelalls I believe)toMurty Bros. Fabrication shop in Portland Oregon.Murty Bros. isa very well known light and heavy duty truck fab shopthe west coast and have been in business since the 1950's.

They pulled out the brand new 392 V-8 gas motors and auto transmissions and replaced them with brand new Detroit 353 diesel engines and new 5 speed manual transmissions. (the pickup has a 5 speed plus a 3 speed behind it). They didthis with custom engineered motor and transmission mounts and braces.Custom fitthe factory A/C and power steering pumps, new vacuum pump, even an exhaust system with a large muffler that met noise requirements in 1973. All custom fab work is identical between these 2 vehicles. Very professional work!

Both vehicleshavedual fuel tanks, A/C, power brakes, and power steering. They also have matching aftermarket tachs, and controls for engine shut down and emergency engine runaway shut offs.

Travelall only has 59000 miles.

ThisTravelall starts and runs good,and it drives really nice. New tires on the rear.5 speed manual, 5th gear is towards the dash.. overdrive? Nice interior, seats are comfortable, smells nice - not that old musty smell. Has some rust at rear wheel wells. Rear window doesn't work right. All gauges work, all lights are working.

I think these are very unique and rare, it probably cost the dealer a fortune to do this swap on brand new vehicles but he was way ahead ofhis time! Reminds me of something Jon Kinzenbaw of Kinze Manufacturing would do back in the day! He loves repowering about anything with a bigger Detroit diesel!
