The time has come to sell my 1988 International custom-built diesel dually.I am selling my antique cars so my wife says I no longer need a cool, ad boy tow vehicle.This truck was originally a box truck to which the former owner fitted a late model F350 dually pickup truck bed. The truck chassis has 220,000 miles, ut the motor is re-manufactured Jasper 7.3L International diesel with low miles. The diesel rumbles to life at the touch of the starter and the rear air bag suspension raises the truck from an easy-to-load 27" bed height into a rather menacing stance. This custom pickup always draws a crowd whether we are towing one of our cars to a show or picking up a few sheets of plywood at Home Depot. It runs and drives great, as a heavy-duty tow package with electric brake unit and can pull a house down the road at 70 mph all day. My wife says the air horn can wake the dead! The cab interior has not been customized.It shows the regular signs of wear as a truck would for the miles.The oversized bench seat is worn with a small hole, ut some comfy Escalade leather seats would fix that! There is no body rust that I can find except for a few spots of surface rust at the rear window (see pic). It has a low-cost paint job that is shiney, ut has lots of overspray, uns, mall chips and amateur touch-ups. I just installed new glow plugs, ew chrome stack, ew front and rear shocks (it needed them!), ew brake hoses, ew battery, nd a newViairmodel 092 12 volt air compressor, torage tank, ir lines and controls for the air bags and the new air horn. It has air conditioning, ut I have never tried it (no belt), o I don't know if it works. I do know the heater works.The rear tires should be replaced for winter driving. The next step would be to install air bags on the front axle. That would make it a real low-rider show truck!!! The truck has a GVWR of less than 18,000 lbs (17,998) so a commercial driver's license (CDL) is not required. Additionally, t is registered and insured as a 1988 International pickup, ot a commercial truck. Check out all the pictures and take a video test drive!!!! The reserve is low, o bid to win, nbsp;This truck will be sold to the highest bidder!!! Please read the "Seller's Payment Instructions" before you bid! This is a binding legal contract. (It's probably a good idea to ask your wife too. Don't ask me how I know!) This is in red to let you know it is important. P.S. If you like the truck but long for the comfort of an automatic transmission, will be listing in a separate Ebay auction a rebuilt 6 speed Allison automatic transmission that is a "bolt-in" I bought for this truck. It is not included in this sale.
