Anyone else still roll around in a old s series This is my main girl a 1984 international harvester s1754 The powertrain is nothing to write home about but solid Dv550 9.0L spicer 6352D 5 speed and a spicer m190T 2 speed axle Rockwell stopmaster wedge brakes on budd 11r22.5 tubeless Couldn't ask for a better truck fully restored and works in the field every day Honestly its fitting as a majority of the equipment i service is about the same vintage or older

    Nice truck! That's what I have, an "old slow and reliable" 1990 International 4900 dump truck. DT466, Allison Auto, 2-speed axle

    Doh’. But those wedge brakes. Pretty cool, though. Welcome to the HEF.
