Another slight correction...not an International, but an HME VT100. The last series built by Hendrickson trucks.

Looks like it was set up as a liquid fertilizer sprayer originally(4WD, ag tires)....transplant the 12v, and let'er rip!

*Just caught ORC's correction*....damn Hendricksons look almost identical to the Paystar 5000's.

BTW, ever drive one of the OLD Hendricksons? I did...once, just to move it to another field for a farmer.

Roughest-riding SOB I've ever been in.

Yes I did. A 1968 Hendrickson, used to haul concrete forms. Had air assist power steering, that would stop working at the worst possible times. 6-71 Detroit power and a 13 speed. Like rolling downhill inside a beer can.
