Yes, very cool indeed. Welcome to the forum! I'm curious to see what has been done to the interior; do you have any pics?

I like the fact that you can just mash someone if they get in your way...

Re: Bigole'61

Hey Bigole --- welcome! It looks like you scored a great platform. Did it come with a Geiger Counter? Most everything else you'll be able to find help (or at least, opinions) on right here. Once again, welcome and do keep the pix coming.

Re: Bigole'61

What a disappointment! I'm sure you've already checked but the master cyl may need attention as well along with its vacuum hose if it has that kind of booster. Now that I think of it many Cornbinders if that era had a Hydrovac unit stuck into the brake line somewhere and it should be looked at as well.

Hard to beat an old International for durability and ease (relatively speaking) of repair. Have a safe and FUN trip home!

Re: Bigole'61

If you use photo bucket you sidestep the attachment stuff. Need more info? ask

Re: Bigole'61

I hear ya on the brake stuff, my IH also has the hydrovac set up, both back wheels are leaking. I'm fixing each corner as I take the wheel off to clean and paint.

Can't wait to see more pics of your super cool bus ,
Ol Trunt helped me out with posting pictures. You gotta get them off the internet ( from some site like photobucket ) and use the [img] button instead of the "upload attachment".

good luck!

Glad you are back on the bus. What kind of insulation did you find in the roof? Jack

Re: Bigole'61

Hope this works!
I'll give it a shot but if I could figure it out anyone can. Please read through this whole blerb before you try to follow it --just to see if it seems to make sense.
First you need to have your pics in your pic file on your computer and that file open and minimized. Next open your PB acct (I find Google chrome works best on my setup) and select upload (this will get you started on your first album).

Next go to "select photos & vids". This should default to the pics on your computer. Select a pic to copy to PB and highlite it. When you enter "open" on the panel at the bottom of the page your pic will be copied to your album in PB. You will then be prompted to copy another pic or to save (and close) etc. This process can be repeated until you have all your pics copied to PB.

PB offers a bunch of stuff such as headings--but I prefer to stop as above. MInimize PB.

Once you have composed your SKOOLIE thread and want to add pics I recommend the following: Double enter as if starting a new paragraph and enter the following;

[b]type your heading[b/]

Now expand PB, find the pic you want and center the curser on the pic. A series of choices will appear below the pic. Slowly move the curser to the last choice which is "IMG Code" and hit enter. You will see a brief dimming of the command which notifies you that the pic has been copied to paste.

Next minimize PB and expand your SKOOLIE document. Set the curser immediately after the [b/] entry and then press ctrlv simultaneously and your pic will be transfered (copied) to your document. Do this for each pic you want to print. As usual preview your work and when it looks right send it. Let me know if this helps and be sure to tell me if you find a better technique or if I have left something out. Thanks, Jack

Re: Bigole'61

Hey Jack,
I always wondered why your pictures showed the [b] tags.

This isn't necessarily better, just different.

I type the title of the picture, then hit the button just above that says "Img" it will add this to your reply "{img][/img]" with your cursor in the middle. Then go to photobucket as you say, but
use the second choice. Then go back to skoolie and past that between the img tags. Then move your cursor after the second img bracket and go on with your story.

Dick
