I was surprised too. Where is the ol' boy today anyhow? Haven't seen him around the forum today.

He promised to tow a boat down for me too......keep prodding him Chad, I'll take you for a cruise.

Back when y'all understandably told me to run away from the "free boat" craigslist ad - Brother Swamp offered to unload a boat he had sitting at his place for me....but he had no means of towing it.

I don't think he was serious though

That price is so low it must be a scam.

I saw one of those going down I 95 one day. I couldn't stop looking at it. It didn't look real, it was so big!

That is the way to tow, if you're going to be a bear be a grizzly!

I am a fan of the Internationals but the thing that has always bugged me is that the Ford bed just doesn't follow the Cornbinder's cab lines. Ford and Chevy both make a mega pickup and their body lines all match up. Of course, if you want to play big rig a Chevy or Ford don't quite equal the IH.

When I was in San Diego I saw an International crew cab like the CXT but it was a lot lower, more dually pickup height, with fender cutouts. I don't know if it was a prototype or just some guy's custom.

And Jordan, the offer stands if you can get it there. I'm sure your wife would love the lawn ornament as much as mine does!
