I had a '74 IH 1700 with a 345 and a five speed-two speed drivetrain. It had a 2000 gallon propane bed on it. THE most dependable truck I ever owned. I had two other propane trucks, Chevrolet and GMC with a 366 and five and two drivetrain. The International sat out, and would start below zero like it was summertime. It had the quietest-running V-8 I ever heard in a truck. Sounded more like a Packard than a truck. When it was idling all you could hear was the alternator whining. It never used a drop of oil, but was horrible on gas. The 345 pulled with the GM 366's. All three trucks had dual exhausts with a four-barrel carburetor. The International rode harder, but had better power steering than the GM trucks. The brakes were its weak spot. You had to be careful stopping it with a full load. It had a 50-gallon gas tank, but that would not run me all day if I was really busy. The 366's were no fuel economy champs, but were lots easier on fuel than the International 345. I put over 150,000 on the clock, almost 200,000 actual when you consider pump time. The cartridge oil filter was a pain. I had it converted to a two-quart spin-on. Wonderful truck. Wish I still had it.
