1963 Loadstar All-Wheel-Drive. IH T5 5-speed has been swapped in place of the factory T4 4-speed. Fairly new Holley 2bbl. Original IH V8 runs great (see video below). Drives like a big gasoline powered truck, very fun and nostalgic. The mileageand engine are all original. The 4x4 works; its has 2wd hi, 2wd low, 4x4 hi, and 4x4 low. The 2wd low eliminates the need for a two speed rear and effectively makes this a 10 speed truck. The 1st gear is a granny. When driving on the road with no load it only makes sense to use gears 2-5 in hi. Will maintain 60 mph on flat grade. Known issues: PTO needs right "Chelsea" brand input gear for the T5, Parking break doesn't work, Power to the coil isn't routed through the ignition switch.
