1999 International 4700
Hello all,
I found another truck that may fit my needs. I have quite a few reservations about the acquisition as it is six hours away from me. It also has a rebuilt title. 1999 International 4700 DT466e AT545 187,000 miles I have done my best in asking questions (of the seller) and doing research (about truck). Here is my first concern. https://www.dieselbombers.com/member...ve-control.jpg I assume... the valve is for coolant...? looks like a backyard fix... Here is a pic of current state. https://www.dieselbombers.com/member...rent-state.jpg I cannot currently get a pic of truck prior to repairs to load. It had a long box on back and just lost a headlight and a piece of fender in the front. I am in a hurry now but will load more pics when I return home tonight. Thank You for your time and thoughts, DD |
belated update
Well apparently I can currently only have ten pics in my albums :argh: I have lots more if needed.
So here is a picture of the truck before it was repaired/rebuilt. https://www.dieselbombers.com/member...aged-truck.jpg My main use for this truck would be a plow/salt truck. I will use it the rest of the year when my other trucks cannot carry needed items. (I am a lawn/landscape contractor) I do not need a powerhouse. I need a stone reliable work truck. Currently, I see me weighing no more than 20-23k. I am looking at putting a 10 foot wood bottom platform bed onto it. I believe it should be a good fit. (I am NOT an upfitter) The seller stated a 9-11 foot bed would fit. Here are some more stats: Engine Manufacturer International Engine Type DT466 Mileage 187,465 mi Transmission Automatic Tires 295/75R22.5 Wheels Budd Wheelbase 162 in C/A 92 in Number of Rear Axles Single Rear Axle Weight 17,500 lb Front Axle Weight 8,000 lb Drive Side Left Hand Drive A/C So here are my cries for help. I am completely new to medium duty so be easy on me...:moon: 1. Will the AT545 be happy working at those weight levels? I understand what it is rated for; but, I also own a 47rh behind a cummins. I don't want to unknowingly walk into that. 2. Anyone familiar with upfitting.... Will my ten foot bed and 2 inch receiver plan work with this wheelbase/ C/A? (I do not know what they did to shorten it. Nor do I know what it would take) Sorry for the long rant... :s: I am very deliberative.:humm: D.D. Any comments appreciated. :pca1: |
