[A/S] Re: Vintage tow rig questions
Jeep and International shared many parts. As with Jeeps in the 60's
International bought many parts from many manufacturers so it's best
to get a mental reference manual in your head. For example, GM
engine, Chrysler transmission, Ford Ignition & electrical systems,
same car. My experience is that parts guys find it much easier to
locate parts for a 67 Buick engine than a 67 Jeep engine. They are
the same engine. Parts are out there and with the internet they are
easier and easier to locate. As a general rule, the more GM or Ford
parts you have the easier they are to find. My tow car is a 63 New
Yorker wagon and I do have a time locating some parts but never bad
enough to make me wish I had a different car. Besides, A vintage tow
car is the only way to go with a vintage trailer. Go ahead and get
the Travelall.
