Have a 1960 Intnl. B160 factory 4x4 truck. Has Rockwell/timken T223 t-case that is divorced and mounted to non-overdrive 5speed transm. 16000lb. gvw axles with locking hubs that are stamped International but look just like Warn hubs. Has vacuum power assist brakes. Strangely enough the steering is very easy considering I own a FF powerwagon. This one has a Intl. 226cu V8 engine. The front end is FA-25 and RA-25 rear end with limited slip and 6.16:1 ratio. Has Braden M3 rear winch and Clelsea pto. Considering the time period these are quite tough trucks. Note these also have 5 lug 20 inch wheels that I believe might also fit a PW.
Been used in northern Colorado.
