Not technically mine, its my lil brothers, but it tows for me when I need it. Runs a Ford IDI turbo diesel.

--------------------------------------------thats bad ass what is it



--------------------------------------------

Its a 1977 International Loadstar. Its been heavily tweaked, full frame, 22s and 24s, Ford IDI diesel swapped, turboed and intercooled, etc. This thing was built to tow low. It steers lock to lock on the ground, and cruises about 1/2 inch up. It carries approx. 20 gallons of air. It usually sports a fifth wheel hitch, but its off in the picture (for insurance reasons).

Unfortunately, this is the only pic of it towing I could dig up. We usually forget about taking pictures til its too late. The S10 belongs to a friend of ours. Its pretty damn badass!

kelly, whats your thoughts towing that big truck with the little truck?

--------------------------------------------

it worked out fine. i prob wouldnt do it often or on a long trip but it worked good. got kinda squirrely when i would get above 65. didnt want to push it cause the weather was bad.
