Looking for a book on historical lemons by Arklier
Not the Ralph Nader book, it's a coffee table book I saw at Barnes & Noble several years back that I regret not picking up at the time.

Part for '70 International Pick-Up by Tony Cooper
I have a 1970 International Tow-All 1200 series pick up truck in the driveway. There's a problem with the clutch, but I can't locate any source for parts or a parts list for the beast. If it was an International Scout, I could find a number of sources. But, it's not. Any suggestions? Links?
