FOR SALE Intl KB8 tractors

[steelman]

Forgot to include pictures. Have many more if interested. Sheet metal is good. Interiors are ok also. Good for someone restoring one or making a ratrod.

[JTFormula]

Those are cool as heck just the way they sit. Kind of a mad max thing going on.

Where are these located?

[steelman]

The trucks are at my shop in Virginia, 50 miles south of DC.

[JTFormula]

Good luck on the sale. I think you said no engines in these things? I can't find the ad where you had all the details and price listed. I am not a buyer but wish I had room/ability to buy something like this to redo.

[steelman]

Thank you. The trucks are complete with the exception of the engines. Someone had removed them before I got them. Everything else is there, including the radiators and transmissions. I asked $1,000 each or best offer. Scrap price is probably 700 to 800 , and that would be ok. I would rather see someone get them and use them rather than turning them into refrigerators and Toyota's. Steelman

I'll bet you can pop a DT 466 motor in there, and I bet the bell housing would fit. I think they called there gas engine 'Red Diamond' or something like that? That would make a nice re-sto

That was the thought that went through my head.

does that cab resemble a B model or what. Resembles a Reo also. The B models were made by Chicago cab.

IH at the time was from Chicago.

[Superdog]

Those K model IH's were a very good looking truck.My Grandpa's first truck of his own was a KB6.

[Maddog13407]

always liked the KB's. the cab is ALOT smaller than a B model. you can actuallly roll down the passenger window down from the driver seat like a WC22 White. they made the red and green diamond flathead 6 cyl. depends on what year they are. never thought of a DT466 in one. have thought of repowerin a B42 Mack with a DT466 before tho. could make it a real truck and put a 237 Mack in there like Stan Young did from Maine

My great uncle had a B42 with a DT466 in it.Had a flatbed on it,he used it awhile and sold it.He was always buying stuff at auctions,fixing it up a little,using it in his drilling business then selling it for way more than he gave.he was real good at it,said he made more money that way than he did drilling.

[Maddog13407]

i think the Dt466 might be perfect in a b42 . might even turn the right rpm's so u could keep the original rear end and transmission. wonder about the radiator and fan/water pump tho.

As I recall,Uncle Jack said it had the IH 5 speed,and a 3 speed brownie,and the original Mack rears.I never got to see it,he lived in Casper,WY.

[bullhusk]

Was there not a guy on this site that took an old B fire truck and redone the whole truck using a DT-466?? I think he was going to use it to pull a camper maybe or a car trailer? I also think it was an allison automatic trans

BULLHUSK

[Reuhlz]

Yes there was. A sweet setup!

[Maddog13407]

yup, forgot what he did with the waterpump tho and the allison just isnt cool haha. might need at least a fake stick in there

Only 4.5 hours from me. Nice day trip. I have been to the Fredricksburg auto auction before. There's a weigh station just north on 95 that's pretty strick. Went by with our dually and the 38' two car trailer and the fuzz was watching as I skipped the station. Private truck not for hire but I was waiting for them to pull out and follow me. Next time I'll take 301 back.

I can arrange transportation if you want.

[youngster]

I know this is years later and the trucks are almost certainly gone but any chance you have any left?

[yarnall]

Where are you?  I have a K model I would sell.  I’m near Philly.  Mike. 

[Joey Mack]
