I got to drive this thing from Squamish BC to Okotoks AB a few weeks ago! Sweet unit! Has a 575 HP Cummins, 18 spd Fuller tranny, wide track rear end... Only complaint I had was that the AC didn't work and it was hot that day... Oh well!

Cant find the personal pic, but remember seeing huge Cummins trucks like this one in Melbourne, Australia.

Nope, this one's a little older than that. The other truck we have uses the ford industrial 300-6, but this one has a continental flathead str8 6. Very cool sounding little motor. Few more little issues to iron out and she should be ready to go to work. I just swapped the digger from the original 1969 International 4x4 chassis to the military unit in the picture. Other than the bizzare braking setup on the 818, I think it's gonna be a worthy chassis. The military tends to overbuild things

I do some private stuff, but mostly holes for pole barns and fences. More $ for less risk, especially when running older equipment. Pole barn, you're in and out by noon and pocket 800 bucks or so, or at least the truck does, lol!
