1946 IH Wrecker

This would make an excellent piece of yard art or advertisement vehicle! https://www.purplewave.com/auction/2405 ... k-Missouri

Neat! has the fairly rare front hub caps missing the rear, battery box cover and the sling for the tow rig. Looked to have the Holley carb (not many used that) and the Centra-vac governor.
It has what I would call a "Chicago boom" type tow rig. Doesn't look like the 2 spd is hooked up to vacuum. All in all we worth the current bid.
If I didn't already have mine, I'd be all over that one.

Looks like it might be a BD 308 , and an Overdrive trans , well worth the currant bid ,if it hasn't sold

2 give-a-ways that it is not a 308 (not including the 308 wasn't made back then) is the 1bbl carb and the oil filter arrangement (Deluxe bypass type).
Should be the 269.
What I find interesting is the low GVW (16500) which is what my K-7 is. I would guess it was made for the military as mine was. My KB-7 has a GVW of 21500.
edit:
Pick's are kind of fuzzy, but you may be right in one respect, it does looking like someone made a plate and put the Holley 2bbl on, I still think it is a 269 based on the oiling.

sure looks like the carb on mine

Am I reading that I.D.tag right K 7 ? Looks like a KB front end , was the motor maybe switched also ?

sold for $3,850

ID plate says K-7 269.

my 250 in my KB-6 has that same two barrel carb intake, comes off Red engine, bolts right up,

looks like same thing here, farmer version of hotrodding their truck

I don't think the RED manifold will bolt up. The BD 308 had that 2bbl and it will bolt up but the ports on the head are smaller on the BLD 269 than the BD 308

did a 269 come with a 2 barrel intake? because whatever is on my 250 bolted up, I have no idea where is came from , was one the truck in 1983 when I got it.

The BD 308 did come with a 2bbl, and it is the same family, the intake ports are bigger on the 308 head along with the valves. Can't put a 308 head on the 269, but can the other way around, with reduction in breathing.
I have never seen anything that showed the 269 ever came with a 2bbl from the get -go. I seen Ellis twin carb manifolds for the BLD series. Other than the port diameter, there is no reason you can't use a 308 manifold on a 269. The little "centering rings" that go in the outer ports will not fit between the BD (282 and 308) manifold and the recess in the 269 head, but it will bolt on and work if these are left off.

ah, similar to the 220 240, 264 intake differences can use a smaller port 220 on 240 if you toss the locator rings,

, I did buy a Ellis dual carb intake off fleabay that was supposed to be for SD, BD, engines, it matched the intake on my 250, so it was for KB-6 or 7, usually see them stamped for K-10
