Yes, leave it to Digger and I, I found this pretty complete WW2 International M-5-6 2.5 ton 6x6 over in Buhl Idaho. ( Thanks to a tip from Clell Ballard!) Dig and I went over and picked her up yeterday! It still has the original 20,000 lb winch, the Red Diamond IHC 318 SIX Cylinder! a multi speed PTO, and two out of three differentials! It was used by a house mover for many years! The spring pack on the hendrickson suspension has been completely welded up with plate steel so the springs can't move! Ironically, the rear drive train is identical (except much larger) to the rear setup in my WC-62 and 63 Dodge WW2 6x6s! Anywone lnowing where I can find the forward rear axles, and a differential, please let me know! It is a runner truck with vacuum over hydraulic brakes! It even has a quite rare original arctic cab!! I am planning on retosring it to use as a tractor to haul the WW2 Allis Chalmers Bulldozer around in parades and vehicle shows!!
