<div dir="ltr">It's an arm and a leg to re-plate one that has been un-plated for several years here too. All excise taxes, wheel taxes etc. but I found a way around it and have used it a few times. Title processing is reasonable and if you just sell it everything starts over clean. Nothing due to the state. Scott owns a few things now. Any vehicles and trailers all go to him anyway so I am slowly transferring stuff into his name now. Most of my stuff is old and of fairly low value so they don't really care about it. <div>I once had to have a police check of a title for an old trailer I bought for $200. When the officer stopped out he just signed the paper. He said "We don't care what you do with a $200 trailer..." :-) In KY they don't even plate small trailers. Here they plate any trailer you haul stuff on but do not plate tow-able tools like cement or mortar mixers or log splitters, trenchers, limb chippers etc. a couple of the things they do where Scott works is underground boring and pipe bursting. The state questioned the boxes / racks where they haul the stems they use but finally decided that since they were only used on those machines and they were not hauling pipe it was OK to not plate those machines. I don't know why they even questioned them, it's not like there are not hundreds of those things on the road. Bureaucratic silliness I guess.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 9:58 PM Cecil Bearden <<a href="mailto:crbearden@copper.net">crbearden@copper.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>I found Rock Auto has a lot of old stuff available. Fooled
me. I was looking at their catalog last night and found kingpin
and bushings for the old 66 C60 And at reasonable prices... I
ordered a lot of suspension parts for my 98 Chevy C85 from them
last year. The biggest gripe I have with Rock Auto is that
sometimes on a larger order it will come from 3 or more warehouses
and there is a shipping and handling charge for each one. They
have some warehouse liquidation buys that are really cheap and
high quality... Here is a link to that IHC water pump
<a href="https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/international,1973,1210,5.6l+345cid+v8,1409756,cooling+system,water+pump,2208" target="_blank">https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/international,1973,1210,5.6l+345cid+v8,1409756,cooling+system,water+pump,2208</a><br>
I have on old 75 3/4 ton 4x4 IHC that had a 304 but I had a 345
in a 1 ton and swapped them. I also swapped the power steering
box to the 3/4 also.. <br>
</p>
<p>Here in OK if we don't tag a vehicle in 2 years it costs over
$300 to tag it. It used to be $0.25/day up to the price of the
tag then double tag for the penalty and they only went back 2
years. For an old truck or car, it would run no more than $100.
Then the state got broke and greedy and it went to over $300
depending on what tag agency figures it... `We can put a black
sticker on the tag that means it will not be used and no penalty
will accrue. I have a bunch of old trucks that have black tags
because the mandatory insurance law would just break the budget.
It is $27.50 for a black tag sticker. To insure a 2 ton or larger
farm truck is about $50/yr on a farm fleet use. In OK every
vehicle on the road must be insured. In Arkansas, a farmer can
buy a liability policy for about $300/yr that covers him driving
any vehicle he gets into. OK is run by the oil patch and the
insurance lobby, so we don't have a chance to save on
insurance.... <br>

<div dir="ltr">Gee, imagine any of us "rambling"... :-) I always
have a soft spot for old trucks. I have an old 1965 IHC 1600
Load Star that I don't really have any reason to own. My tandem
axle trailer or even just one of the pickups is all I need most
of the time. If I need something heavy hauled son Scott can
bring something home from a small trailer up through stages of
goose-necks and his take-home ton work truck through heavy tag
behind a single axle dump, a tri-axle dump on up to a very long
trailer semi. I do work very hard to not abuse the privilege and
to mostly deal with my own stuff as much as I can.
<div>I have not plated the IHC lately but try to keep it viable.
All that it really needed was tires and I found a set of 6 (2
steering and 4 lug type) that someone had bought new for an
old truck and then blew up the engine after only putting a few
hundred miles on the tires. You can still see the mold marks
on the face of the tread. I hope to get those installed this
summer and some little stuff. Oh, yeah, it also needs a
passenger side running board (or a step ladder). It has a very
good twin cylinder hoist and a good step plate floor in the
bed. I hauled a lot of grain with it before I retired and
occasionally a load of stone. I would love to have a two
speed axle for it, it is geared quite low. It's just a 4 speed
(first is granny gear) and it sounds wound out pretty high at
55 MPH in 4th. I can't justify a 2 speed so I'll just keep
good oil in it and change it often. It won't get many miles on
it.</div>
<div>Speaking of rambling...</div>
<div>Son Scott just bought an old IHC pickup last Saturday. It
is a 1973 4x4 with a 345. Quite a bit of body rust but not a
lot of dents and the frame looks very good. I believe it was
last plated about 3 years ago. Under the hood looked good and
original, not butchered up. He got it started and said that it
was only making the noises it was supposed to but the water
pump was froze. Probably not a big problem. Stuff is fairly
well available for the 345's.</div>

went to an auction yesterday. I should have bought the 6600
JD <br>
combine that sold for $2000, but I didn't want to sleep with
the cats in <br>
the barn.. Also picked up a 32ft Field cultivator/spring
tooth. If I <br>
take off the wigs I have a 12ft one and a lot of spare parts!!<br>
<br>
I went after the 66 Chevrolet C60 w/ 20 ft bed & hoist air
tag axle, <br>
Shurco tarp and Westfield drill fill auger. For $2000 I
figured the bed <br>
& hoist was worth that. My drill fill auger needs a new
auger and it is <br>
over $500.<br>
<br>
The truck looks like it has a 366 engine. OEM would have been
a 348 or <br>
409 I think.. This has the valve covers of the 366 & 427
but only a 2 <br>
bbl carb so I would guess 366. It has a very worn 5 speed
transmission <br>
and a 2 speed axle that shifts ok. The cab is not in bad
shape for a <br>
66. If I can swap the power steering gear from a 67 or 68
model I have <br>
here, then I can change to the smaller steering wheel and
maybe fit <br>
behind the wheel. Either that or lose 100 lbs. I was looking
at <br>
shortening the steering column as it can move forward under
the dash If <br>
I shorten the steering tube and re-cut the splines on the
steering <br>
shaft. I have a 18ft tilt bed hoist I would like to put on
this one. I <br>
have a 427 & 5speed in another truck that would give it a
little more <br>
power. The 366 did not seem to really have a lot of zip to
it, but this <br>
truck has only been used about 50 miles a year for the last 10
years. <br>
If all else fails I can hop up a 350 with 10:1 compression and
propane......<br>
<br>
It is a lot of work, but I have this soft spot for the 60-66
Chevrolet <br>
trucks. I rebuilt a lot of engines in those years for hopped
up farm <br>
trucks. I had a 52GMC 2 ton with a 16ft bed & hoist that
would haul 300 <br>
bushel at 70mph. Back then we did not have the traffic on the
highways <br>
we do now...<br>
<br>
Just rambling......<br>
