Hi, My Dad has a 1974 International Harvester 200 truck. It runs and starts excellent and we have been using it alot to get wood for our furnace. I have not seen many of these types on trucks around. My Dad bought this truck back in May, but it needed some work. It was missing on a couple cylinders, it did not have much power and it needed some work in the steering shaft. I put in new plugs, plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, battery cables, battery, radiator hoses, fan shroud, oil & filter change and a lot more to get this old IH running like it should. Who else has IH trucks? We have been told that they are getting very scarce. I love this old truck and it works real good for hauling stuff, we have been using it to haul wood a lot lately. The photo was taken in the Spring, wish it was still Spring. :( When we got this truck, it had a Char-Lynn torque motor and power steering pump from a tractor in it that somebody added. That was not put in very well and made the steering very sloppy. I removed that and we had the hardest time trying to find a steering shaft, searched the junk yards, eBay, YTMAG and Yesterday's Trucks, could not find any. So I made the one from a 84 Chevy Suburban fit in the International. Now the truck has no power steering (It did not have P/S when new). It works fine like that. I was wondering who else of you has IH trucks around this year?

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
