Popular Post High Binder Posted September 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2013 Been lurking around the forum for years. Got tired of not being able to see the pictures. Don't have any Mack's but they make a pretty decent truck. I'm retired, old, fat, and ugly. My wife doesn't give a didley squat about old trucks which is nice. I usually attend shows if they're not half way around the world. I have met a few members on the forum at truck shows and I look forward to meeting more. I know this is taboo but my interest is the old IH's from the 50's. I've been working on one and I have it about 95% finished. Still working on a few bugs. Some have seen it before. I look forward to participating on the forum. Thanks, 11 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32921-new-to-the-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Welcome aboard! That's a fine looking high binder you got there. I grew up on Internationals before my dad bought a Value Liner when I was about 10. Nothing wrong with an IH!

High Binder Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks, It turned out pretty well to be on a poor man's budget. I bought it sight unseen and wondered what I had got myself into when it was unloaded. It was pretty rough but it was solid. I get a lot of looks when I take it out on the roads.Dan Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32921-new-to-the-forum/#findComment-208495 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Welcome to BMT. Nice looking IH. I can't remember when I saw one like that. The Sightliner looks similar. What engine is in it?

Popular Post High Binder Posted September 26, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments. When I got the truck the engine was stuck, the injector pump was leaking, it had a huge hole in the oil pan, bearings messed up in the transmission, fuel tanks dinged, and the rear end shot. It has a Cummins HRBB-600 (180 hp) engine, a double disc pump, a Fuller 5-C-720 OD 5 speed transmission, and a 4.11 2 speed rear end. All original except the rear end. I'll try to post some before and after pictures.

other dog Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 That's a great looking truck!..I remember e-mailing you a picture of this one a few years ago-This one is in the Keystone Tractor museum in Colonial Heights, Va. but it was at the ATHS show in Winchester,Va. last weekend.

High Binder Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yes, I remember. I saw that truck again last year and it had really deteriorated. I was going to go to the tri state show this year but had something come up at the last minute. Now I really wish I had attended the show. I would really like to see that truck in person.
