Yeah, well, I don't think this one'll be around long, but I couldn't 
pass it up.  I was having post-partum depression at selling my '67 
travelette, which was my first running IH.
This one was owned by a  correctional facility for 36 years, bought 
by the grandson of one of the fellas who worked there when it was 
bought new.  It wasn't a good fit for him, he didn't have the 
patience or ability to get parts, repair, etc.  Though I showed him 
the pics of it cleaned up and I think he's a bit sorry he didn't do 
the same.
Anyway, the truck was named when he bought it, as it reads across the 
wind-deflector.  Gertrude.  Can't go changing that!

I'll shoot you the file off list.  Except for the square headlights, 
it's a looker.  Actually nicer body than the one I just sold.
