[ihc] A question...



Digesters,

Greetings from one of the long lost IH faithful. I've been kicking my butt with a new job, a new apartment, and preparations for the auction sale of my home and nearly all my belongings this Saturday, Oct 2. Which has left little time for the one remaining IH in Joel's International House of Pickups, the B184. But I did get to tow my neighbor's pickup up the hill when the Ranger died in front of my place. :-)

Anyway, if you know anyone in the Virginia area who needs a house, furniture, tools (LOTS) excellent audio/video gear, building materials, appliances, etc., please send them to the website in my sig, where they can tour the house and contents, including the B184.

More to the point here, I figure that when all this gets sorted out, sometime in the future when solvency rears its lovely head, I will want an IH. Just one, mind you, and I know this forum has precious few single-IH families, but here's the point of the email:

If you could own just one IH, just one, what would it be? Assuming adequate but not silly funds (which excludes the Hearst Shawnee, etc.) to purchase the IH you'd really want to have, what would it be? How, generally, would it be 'built'?

I'm asking as curiosity and to give me some IH dreamin' fodder. I'll throw out a starter, a 1010 D-series travelall with a 401/727, 2wd, wood grain paneling. A cool cruiser, big enough for moving anything, and a screamer with a little tweaking like Holley's new FI kit for the AMC motor.

Just a thought. How 'bout that '38 body with the SV tucked inside? A traveler with 4" lift? A B-series travelette? Wagonmaster? Tell me!

Oh, and thanks again to the list community. What a fun place!

Best,
Joel
