I have been reading and researching lots of info from the wealth of info that all you guys have brought together. I have enjoyed seeing what might be. I have a 1948 International kb5 given to me by my Dad that was used on the old family homestead when bought new. When the wife found out she quickly motivated me to build it. We live in heavy snow country and are thinking of swapping the frame with a International scout terra 118" wheelbase and making it a 4x4, but we want the truck to shine. I have built 4x4's to bang up but this one we want to pass down. My kids will be helping grandpa(my Dad) and I put this one together, look forward to getting to know you guys and thank you for all the learning that I have already gotten from this wonderful source of knowledge.
I was born in Seattle but half my family (great uncles and grandparents) lived in eastern WA. so whenever I wasn't in school I was working the horse and cattle ranches the family had. Now that I am out of the military the wife and I live in Spokane WA. (we like getting all four seasons) Unfortunately I don't have any picks of the kb5 other than the avatar. I will get some as soon as I can. The truck is stored out on the farm for me about an hour away. I am just getting all the pieces together right now.
hello....new to this forum. i started a thread about my '63 fairlane and was told i should introduce myself. i purchased a '63 fairlane 500 from an 18 year old that said the car was in his family since his grandparents bought it new in '63. anyways the car has the stock 260 and a three speed tranny. im kinda close to seattle wa and would like to get into cars a little bit more. i have always worked on motorcycles but wont mind having a four door to cruise with all my friends. well im looking forward to being apart of this forum.
