::UPDATE 1:: FOUND SOME GAME CHANGER INFO IN THE WRITTEN RECORDS THAT COME WITH THE TRUCK. IN 1962 THE 6 CYLINDER MOTOR WAS "OVER REVVED" AND FAILED. A BRAND NEW IDENTICAL MOTOR WAS PURCHASED FROM IH THROUGH A LOCAL DEALER AND INSTALLED INTO THE TRUCK. AT THIS SAME TIME A TACHOMETER WAS INSTALLED UP FRONT BY THE BARTON PUMP. BISHOP AT THAT TIME ALREADY HAD A NEWER FIRE RIG OR 2...SO AFTER THIS BRAND NEW ENGINE WAS INSTALLED IN 62.....SO THIS RIG WAS SEEING LITTLE TO NO SERVICE COMPARED TO THE OTHERS... ITS MY FEELING AFTER VIEWING THE RECORDS....WHILE THE MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK IS 16014....I NOW FEEL THE MILEAGE ON THE MOTOR IS IN THE HUNDEREDS...NOT THOUSANDS.
ADDITIONALY, THE SERVICE RECORDS SHOW THIS RIG WAS FANATICALY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED ITS WHOLE LIFE UP TO TODAY.
HOPE THIS GREAT NEWS HELPS WITH YOUR DECISION MAKING
GOOD LUCK!!1
