This drove past me in traffic today (not a bus)
Pic doesn't do justice. This thing is MASSIVE.
Anyone seen this, or similar?
I don't care for the paint, but man this thing is some impressive machine going down the road.

This is our "big" truck. Its actually the neighbor's but I get to use it pretty much whenever.
This isn't the actual truck, but just like it except the neighbor's has a flatbed.

I've seen them around my area.
Most are owned by businesses with a logo but some are just by people with $ to burn.
Some of these are just stupid big.

Nothing ford, dodge, or chevy comes close. That was a real truck.
If any of you wanted a DT466 in a pick up truck, this is it.
It's a international MXT. Only made for a few years, and puts the hummer to shame.

Ever since I got an old Scout Terra pickup in high school I've had a thing for Internationals. Too bad they stopped making the Scout in 1980. The 345 in mine was great.
Thanks for the info nat, and I agree. The Fords, GM's, and Dodges just can't compare with this thing!

It did seem to beat the occupants around pretty severely on ever tiny deviation in the road.

I like the smaller factory ones, that one is too big
I would just bob a duece, add 8 inches of lift and 52"s
12 valve would be sweet also

Sorry, I got one letter wrong.
I wish they still made them.

No worries on the one letter, nat.
I had NO IDEA they made these. Not that it matters, I don't have that kind of money and if I did I'd probably just buy more school buses. ;)
