International AS-148

[KFA-R]

Hey guys...

anyone got anymore information about these old rigs? also anyone know of any parts ect for them? it would be a shame for it to be left the way it is and i really dont wanna have to turn it into a "hot rod" (turm used very loosly) to show it off to the world

Mine is a 1953 model... 2 Tonne (so naturally you can put 4 on it lol) and 16 inch wheels on it... for the record they have been the problem, why it was taken off the road in the first place

yeah any info would be greatly appreaciated

It was a common model so I'd be surprised if most if not every part you want for that old Inter couldn't be sourced through a bit of hunting around

Pick a tread pattern and away you go!

Which specific bits can't you find?

A distributer cap is the first one that comes to mind.... also the major one... one thats there at the mo is well totally fooked... to put it simply

but otherwise lots of little things... brakes have been a drama over the years... yeah its just been a headache

240 petrol motor is it? I guess you've already tried Wagga Tractor & Truck?

Good chance these guys can help you out

Hillman Spares & Repairs in Melb will definately be worth a call - they used to carry a gobsmacking range of obscure vintage stuff, or probably direct you towards other vintage suppliers like Auto Spares Galore

This mob has some interesting bits & pieces

(btw if they've been sitting on the shelf too long then I'd be wary of using NOS rubber brake seals & hoses)

I'd be very surprised if you can't source a dizzy cap for your long-running engine series from the above list!

Failing that, have you tried other big rural truck dealers, for example long-established outfits like Intermotors near me, or maybe Gilbert & Roach etc?

well i haven't tried here in wagga because thats not where the truck is... the truck is situated on my farm near Orange... we have tried all around there for many many years with no success but i will have a look at those sites an see what i can do... cheers

It didn't take long just surfing through the net to find all manner of Inter AS stuff, from vintage NOS window-winder handles to speedo cables etc etc. Looks like > Wagga Truck & Tractor < might deserve your enquiry
