Hi there, my name is Peter (pygmy cause I'm short!).I currently work for a big airline as a licenced aircraft mechanic (35 years).just bought a international D1110 1972 ute/truck....
I just love the dodge/inters shape.Resorting back to old days,old ways.Its good to get away from that high tech stuff and go back to basics. Currently at blue slip stage just needing a set of kingpins then rego. Have lots to show and tell. Looking fwd to meeting /talking with you fellows and hopefully one day I can contribute to next bloke who will be going through the same motions as I doing up and keeping these beautiful bits of historical vehicles going.

The bodys are rare,must have been under cover most of the time.The 4 wheel discs are fantastic,just a touch of the toe.When you re driving be very careful of loosing the back end,especially on wet corners.You will also learn never to park downhill on grass,the back end is very light.

John speaks the truth about losing the back end on wet corners. Did it myself in a Dodge 200 - surprisingly easy!

One thing you will need is a grease gun,these trucks must be kept well greased.
