I vote for the same t350- The 700R4 would likely kick down into 3rd gear more often than you would like with that kind of rpm range even with the slightest change of resistance, and it would be dropping a gear. If your car is a common bolt pattern- you might try to experiment with some other...
I am in awe of the work you are doing. I had a 66 chevy II that I nearly tackled the same way. my buddy called it the nova SS (Super Sedan). I ended up selling it to finish my tow rig:
Im a young guy too, but i make sure im not under estimated. Thanks for the pics and the inspiration. You...
You might start on the lookout for a t-5 if you want that overdrive. the 80's and 90's mustangs had them and the one I have out of a 93 S-10 is the ford bolt pattern. It might be worth a shot. The other advantage is that the ****er is in the tail shaft and there were 3 different positions...
did someone say IH?
I have had a dozen in the last ten years and there are more to come. As far as swapping yours to a 2wd, it is actually a piece of cake. all of the 4wd's had parallel leaves- shorter in length than the paralell leaf 2wd set ups. If you can get a dropped I beam front axle...
Thanks all for the welcoming responses.
Torchman- I like your thinking. Those fenders could be really cool in that application. You could also split them to a consistent width and graft them onto a fleetside box to make one cool dually bed... HMMMMM.....[ddev
I have also been thinking of...

from another binder guy
That is a great place to start. I know where ther are a couple 28 six speed specials here in northeast Oregon. I know where there is another in SE Washington that is a 1 family owned truck. It is sitting in a barn and in beautiful unrestored condition.
I currently...
thanks for all the encouraging comments.
That is a L110- and it has had some geat tin work done to it. I like the start that you have. I may have a rather complete Pile-o-Parts, but you my fellow binder enthusiast- have a roller[dr For that, I am envious.
In response to the headlight...
Hello everyone, Im pretty new to the thread, but not new to the idea of a rat rod. I have been collecting parts for my hot rod dream for several years now. I collect and restore internationals, I have more than my wife would care to count.
Many of them can be seen at...
Here is the ride I just finished up, it isnt a car, far from it. It does have a 392 and a close ratio 4 speed :D
Internationals are all that fits in at my house, so TRUE muscle cars are out of the question.
hi everybody.
Im new to the site, but have been kicking around the idea of a rat for at least the last 5 years. I can already tell there is a wealth of info to be harvested off this site and look forward to learning from you all.
My thing is International pick ups and the old mid...
