INTER-esting days

I Rember there being a few, there is one at the local hard rock quarry, as a fuel tanker, was in ok nick last time I saw it, petrol powered and I think it had two sticks 

Few about Melbourne early to mid 1960’s.
Forerunner to the Loadstar, popular with quarry and agitator operators. First available with the 6-281 petrol, 5 x 3 transmission. Father in law had one with an agitator. Couldn’t keep up with the later ones and Loadstars with V8 345.
Swishy put up a photo a few years back of a nice red and black one restored at a show.
Some info about if you search IH BCF 180.

Plenty of them back in the day on concrete agi work.

Im pretty sure the RAAF had them

Just another pic, one  that I have no idea where it came from..
Lots of these Inters around years ago eh. Or is it a Dodge? 
 

This one was going to be rebuilt years ago, of course, and I bet it's still in exactly the same state as it was when I saw it!

 

NewZealand had some big fleets of International trucks on native timber

Great pic Mrs. If it ain't red etc.
Great range of various A model utes there too.
Don't recall many references to bigger AB series trucks in NZ pics-maybe the ACCO /AACO made them redundant
Cheers

I think most of their bigger trucks came from Canada or America

I don't recall seeing any of the big Inters on disc wheels, but then again, I am getting old.
