Hello everyone. I’ve been lurking for awhile gathering information and researching and figured it was time I contribute. And why not a build thread!
I’ve working on this truck for just a little bit but to start from the beginning:
As from the title I have a 67 1100B pickup with a flatbed and 304. It last ran in the early 90’s. For a little background it was the local school maintenance vehicle (from new I believe) which the school outfitted with a service bed. When the school retired it my grandfather purchased it. It was the first 4x4 truck he ever owned and wanted it for feeding cows in the winter. The school kept the service bed so my grandfather put a flatbed on it. He used it for a few years until the automatic transmission went out.
He bought a MD truck with a worn out engine and swapped the T-98 transmission in. After the swap I learned from my father they experienced issues with the clutch linkage (it flexed the firewall when engaging the clutch). Before they got around to fixing it my grandfather acquired another pickup so the IH set and had been since.
my grandfather passed away in 2001 and the ranch trusted to my father and his siblings.
As I got older I was drawn to the old truck. While I had some other projects going on I started researching the truck and found this website. This is the truck in Jan 2018 setting at the ranch.
In May of 2019 I was helping my dad at the ranch and happened to be returning home with an empty trailer. Why waste an opportunity so we pulled the truck out and it made its journey to its new home:
