    Hello all,

    My Monster Travelall is up for sale!

    Here's the scoop.

    NO RUST!!! Rock Solid

    1966 Travelall Rescue Ambulance, factory extended and raised roof
    Dana full floater rear axle w/4:10 gears,rebuilt, hydralic parking brake.
    HD Dana 44 front axle, closed knuckle, drum brakes.
    Engine is a 2bbl, 304
    Tranny is a T34, 5 spd Overdrive
    Transfer case is a NP 20?
    6 lug wheels
    Tires/wheels are16.5" rims w/ 35x12.50 BF Good Wrench radials. 90% tread and a matching spare on rim.
    Twin Saddle fuel tanks
    Massive 8,000 lb Warn Winch(works perfect) in the tree mashing front bumper/ brushguard w/ 6" lights! (250lbs+)
    Road Warrior rear bumber
    This rig is friggn HUGE, COOL and says "Get out of the way!"
    Makes me abit sick even thinkn about selln it ...but
    $2800 and he's yours.

    This is a project rig. The drive train is a runner, I guarantee it. Before I did the swap I cranked the engine, it fired and idled immediatly. I did a compression test, it's a mid life engine. Tranny shifted into all the gears smooth.

    My plan was to drop in a Ford/ IH 6.9 diesel w/ C6 ,run 'em on cook'n oil .

    The engine/ tranny is not connected to squat, I put it in the rig so I would quit tripp'n over it in my shop.
    The axles are bolted in w/ new hardware and proper shims, thats it!

    Basically you get a spare rig in parts too. All six doors, hood, 2 front fenders, dash w/ some new gauges and land rover seats w/4 pt harness. Radiator is the only piece missing to make the rig complete. They run about $100-150 for a good used one.

    The Monster is actually a rare "Intern 140" 1966 Travelall Ambulance/ Rescue rig. He's rock solid and began life as an Ambulance for the Laughlin, Nevada Fire Dept.

    This rig is factory extended 20 inches and the roof is raised 8 inches, 140" wheelbase. IT'S BIG! REAL BIG!

    Spent it's whole life in the salt free SW. There's a few dings and scrapes but NO RUST other than light surface stuff that sands away pronto.

    This WAS a 2 WD 1000 series originally. I bought a very cool '66 4x4 that had been wrecked (cab was tweaked), parked em side by side, both on jack stands and swapped the running gear. This made the rescue rig the Monster.

    Bring cash and a trailer, a big one!

    Sorry guys but I DO NOT need to trade for anything.

    It's $2800 cash or I'll keep the rig, it's not costing me anything sitt'n here and I'm not starv'n.
    I'll get back to it in a few years when I'm sick of sailing!

    It's a great, solid, rust free, Cool Big Rig.

    Clear Missouri title, $2800 cash, firm !
    I have more pics !

    Thanks Much...Kevin 816-332-0336

    That nice Travelall has been for sale for awhile now. I guess nobody wants it. I think it would make a great expedition platform especially if traveling more than two persons.

    It's not costing me anything sitt'n here and I'm not starv'n.

    Just real busy lately and haven't had the time and I'm heading off to work!

    I'll get back to it in the spring! .....

    ************************************************** ********
    All the hard work has been done.

    There's lots to do if you like to tinker, IT IS a fun project rig!

    I like wrenching on Monster Travelall because it is .......

    Super Simple,
    Easy access to everything,
    Very heavy duty!

    The Travelall Starts, Runs, Brakes, Shifts and Drives !!!

    Every year I do a little more.

    To make this rig road legal it will need a few things.

    1. Electrical work for lights, hook up the horn.
    2. rear shocks installed,
    3. tailpipes installed,
    4. some old school mirrors (JC Whitney has them)
    5. emergency brake line needs to be connected.


    To be a daily driver (the little annoying things)

    1. Adjust the door lock/handles to work smooth.
    2. replace a couple of door windows with the spares included.
    3. Adjust the window regulators to work smoothly, maybe just grease them.
    4 replace the clutch master cylinder with a proper one, it works OK but has a short throw. (at the time I couldn't find one short notice)
    5. tinker with the dash gauges.
    6. plumb the heater, it IS already installed.
    (I looped the line for temp shop work)
    I also have a spare heater core /blower

    It's a great, solid, Super Cool Old School 4x4 Vessel of Urban Destruction.

    (9.5 on COOL scale)

    Clean and Clear Missouri title !!!!

    Thanks Much...Kevin ...........816-278-2364

    (if you love cool 4x4's this is much cooler than any hummer , jeep , ford bronco , international harvester scout , Toyota landcruiser , landrover , chevrolet suburban .)

    Did this thing ever sell? I looked at it a year ago I think but the stars didn't align. Now they have and I am off to get it. If you see me on I-80 give me a honk. Hopefully I will be doing a build up here over the next year.
