1968 International Travelette/ Travelall 1200c "Barn yard find"
Got this from our good neighbors yard where it's been sitting for close to ten years. It will be a rat rod style shop truck. My frien Steve is helping me with the mechanicals to get it back in service. He got the carb fixed, hung a electric fuel pump, added a remote gas can and it fired. Now he's cleaning gas tank's, lines, electrical and full brake service. We lowered it 3" in front. 1.5" in the rear. Maybe I'll cut the top just for fun... we'll see... Click on the pix for a slide show with details. After redoing the heads etc we discivered a bad cam bearing so it's coming back apart. See pix on bottom of page. More to come soon.
Updates. Steve has worked hard on all of the mechanicals and she now runs and stops. I took her to the Donut shop this Saturday after a good wash with a tire brush and Simple Green to get the 8 years of moss etc off of her. Still on the cracked tires so we will not go far with her yet.. If you click on the chopped picture it will take you to the facebook photos or you can go to the screen show below that has all pictures from the Chop Top party with the Swede's Bo and Bo. More to come.
