    Never driven one, always been told they beat you to death. I guess it's one of those never gonna get rid of the itch until I scratch it?

    Someone posted a pic of a 50's International about a week ago.... I finally found my pic of uncle Uwell's 1956 model with the 21W Bucyrus drill Rig. This was most of my family. The International is facing the Ford pickup.

    Don’t know what it was about them...

    Something I haven’t found in the Cascadia or the International I have now...

    It wasn’t a “busy” truck going down the road is the best way to describe it. Drove and road like a top. Plus I could put it exactly where i wanted to go every time. Everyone complained about the turning radius... never noticed it till I got the Cascadia.
