This 2000 International 4700 DT466e is for the person that wants the baddest toy around. I had a vision to make this back in 2012. It took me nearly a year to complete. This truck started as a six-wheeled bucket truck in Texas. I purchased it in Kentucky, and had it shipped to Tuscon, AZ, where a very meticulous builder followed my wishes to put this together (I"m in NJ). Most of the work went into the suspension/steering. You cannot just put big wheels on this truck and call it a day. Custom parts were fabricated, and this fabricator took pains with things like bump steer, drive shaft angle, and run out (wheels are custom made and took a long time for delivery--I think they came from Milwaukee). He even had to make a custom wheel balancer from a Ford axle. Each wheel/tire combo is ~475 lbs. When I finally got it shipped from AZ to NJ (total shipping now in the $6-$7K range, ugh), I had an installer swap out the stock interior with a Cadillac Escalade leather interior/power seat. He also put in ~1000 watts of stereo equipment and speakers. It is loud in there if you want. We never got to putting an antenna on for the radio as I just connect a flash drive for MP3s. Oh, it has a Grover Stuttertone air horn and Viair compressor (same horn as a red fire truck), it sounds good and it"s darn loud. Also, in the interim, I had everything fixed that was wrong with it (new AC compressor, any bad injectors, all oil leaks, electrical wiring--> all addressed and all receipts are available. Some were done at an International dealer in AZ, and some were at a truck shop here in NJ). All fluids have been changed. I added a block heater, which I found I don"t need, since I keep the new batteries running strong by trickle charging when not in use. There is also an alarm system, Viper I believe.
Note : No CDL required. I specifically wanted hydraulic (not air) brakes. I have this registered as a passenger vehicle (meaning not commercial). It is the maximum legal highway width (120)
So if you want a unique toy, this could be it. It is not a show truck. The headliner is not well attached (it stays up but it sags in places). There is some peeling of the paint. The interior is not show quality. It has some problems that Internationals are known for: dash electronics not working 100% of the time depending on the outddoor temp. Some leaking from the windshield in very heavy rain. Not all four doors are keyed the same (there is a different key for the back doors but this is easy to change if desired). I don"t use this for work and it hasn"t been offroad. It is just used for fun/cruising around town (don"t go to Home Depot/Lowes unless you want a crowd around your vehicle when you come out).
I"ll end the auction early if it sells locally first. I can help arrange shipping the truck to your location. Sold as-is
