And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Gawd, miss the 4wd version I had for a plow truck, ran so sweet, it was a whale rode like a caddy, it was so beefy only tarely when the snow was very wet and deep did it need to be shifted into 4WD. Back then, late 80's they had no used value, cheap to buy, but they rotted out up north in NH, could not get body replacement parts to repair the rusted out sections. I had it for so long cause after it failed inspection I only used it on our farm, we had a rather long front driveway, and the rest of paths etc around the property, it was great for hauling cordwood with a large trailer out of the woods, go just about anywhere, had a set of cleated tire chains for when the going was tricky. Only used the winch once to get unstuck. Wonderfully built driveline and had the big block truck engine.
I drove one as a business radio service vehicle. Carried everything I needed. I always thought that the guy who designed the body was transferred over from the refrigerator division. Yes, International made refrigerators.
Great date vehicle

ReplyDeleteCommercial illustrators were suddenly put out of work by the thousands when magazines moved to photography for most ads.
ReplyDeleteBehind the driver's door, on the side, . . . is that a gasoline cap?
ReplyDeleteThis is really an IH Travelall, not just any wagon. What a vehicle!
