They also had 266 V-8's as an option. We had a '65 C-1000 with a 266. It originally had a "3 on the tree", but we converted it to a 4 speed later in its life, after we knocked the reverse idler out the side of the case when we were trying to get it out of a snow drift. We had to get the stub drive shaft to make the conversion, but it ran great for a long time after that. Unfortunately, the drain for the vent in the cowl came down through the door posts (not one of I-H's better ideas). When the bottom drain hole became full of crap and plugged up, it left the hollow square door post full of water. Both sides finally rusted out & we had to get rid of it, because the doors wanted to come open and/or fall off from the hinge side. (That became a little anoying when you were going down the road about 60 MPH.) It had a posi-track rear end and torsion front suspension w/6'box. It was a real terror in snow, even if you lost one chain off of a rear wheel. Just make sure the front end was pointed in the direction you wanted to go when you poured the power to the rear end, because which ever way the front end was pointed, that's the way you went. Turning the front wheels made no difference as long as you were still putting the power to the rear end. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
