Any one got one?
Any one know where there is one that is restorable or fair shape.
Any one know where there is one for sale?
Thanks,

Man you could haul some serious gear in that baby!

A couple weeks ago in Flagstaff, AZ I saw an IH Travelall 4x4 that was very nicely restored and had a whole fam damily inside. Cool vehicle. Looked somewhat like this one:

That is a nice Restore:
We never see them up here unless it is just pile of rust.
I have always had a soft spot in the head and for the Internationals. I have had two scouts. In my younger days.

Grandpa used to have a 72' 4wd International Scout. To this day the roughest vehicle I have ever ridden in. Tough as nails but it rode rough as prickly pear toilet paper. Found this website if you are interested in old 4wd vehicles. Has some really nice restores.

Yeah, that is quite the capable machine.
But my BBQ sauce might get rattled a bit in that one. :mrgreen:
