That's what I thought when I saw it a few days ago. Since I only had my flip phone with me and it's about 400-500 yards off the highway, I didn't even try to take a picture then. I purposely drove by it this morning to take a picture with my camera. This was only the second brown and white International that I can remember seeing so it stuck out to me.That looks just Beagle Pup in all it's glory!
Yeah, you don't see too many of the IHs painted brown and white like that. I never really liked brown, but I thought it looked good on those trucks.That's what I thought when I saw it a few days ago.

I am kind of thinking maybe selling this truck and moving on to a crew cab 1 ton or just swapping out the dump bed for a nice flatbed. I will hopefully be getting it running today, and then I guess I will have to weigh it out. ThanksUsing an extended cab as a work truck gets old. All your tools in the back without even suicide doors is a pain. I see a huge difference since I've found a crew cab
it's good to hear of someone who is in the same boat . Would you happen to have any pictures of the truck now? thanksOne of my trucks is a 92 F450 [7.3 ZF5] cab chassis. About 6 years ago, I mounted a dually 8 ft bed on it. That required that I make a set of bed mount brackets and weld them to the outside of the frame. Like your truck, mine has 11 ft from the back of the single cab to end of frame, so to center the rear fenders over the dual wheels and "make it look right" there is a 30 inch space between the cab and the bed. For now, that space is filled with a tool box that I modified to fit the space [I do sheet metal stuff].
My plan has always been to replace the cab with an extended cab, for the same reasons you want one.. more space to haul more stuff, locked up.
Haven't "gotten to that yet"... but, by making the bed brackets.. bed fits fine, fender openings look "normal".
Go for it !
and not to mention this truck costs almost the same to put on the road as the Beagle Pup , so I also feel kind of stupid like I am right back where I started in a way. I just really like this truck, so I am not sure. Boy this sounds familiar doesn't it? Lol
Once again, I would appreciate some feedback on this.
I actually hadn't thought of it that way. That sheds a whole new light on the subject. That will work perfectly if I can run it as an f350 or f250 legally, but have the extra capacity when needed.I think I am going to go through with it then and swap a cab and bed.If the cost to put it on the road is an issue (I'm assuming it's tied to GVW), maybe a cab swap would help. A cab from a F250 or F350 would allow you to reasonably title that truck as exactly that as long as you don't ever tip the scales above the GVW associated with the new cab. The VIN plate on the dash and sticker in the door frame are the main identifiers for a truck of these years so if you got a f250 or 350 with a title for the cab, then you could "swap the running gear from the superduty under the extended cab." Then you'd be driving the F250/350 with extra heavy duty running gear. I don't know how picky an annual inspection is up in PA but down here if they can't plug a computer into it they do a safety check and test drive and kick you out the door as fast as they can.
