picked up this 54 international r112 up for 500 bucks. comes with extra doors, hood, fender and grill. plans are to chop it and lay it on its nuts. planning on slapping a 351w with t5 tranny. shouldnt be too bad for an old nebraska farm truck let me know what ya think
Good solid old trucks and you seem to see more and more of them done up. Keep us posted on the progress.
I wasn't there in the 50's. But I like International's. I think it was a good purchase. Please keep us up on the progress. I put a SBF in my International that I'm building now. Mine uncompleted in pic. Traditional ? I guess the Internatonals have been Judged.
I love old truck, one of my favs is a Diamond T but I have a 60 Chevy instead. Good Luck fixin' up the International!
welcome F1ZZY! nice truck, make it what ever you want. That is what hod rodding is all about. watch youself around here, there are alot of grumpy over serious people ready to tell you how things should be. I think it will make a fine hot rod. I think it would make a good custom as well. I can imagine some knuckles between those headlights. good luck!
Isn't that what this site is about? Who the hell here is traditional or better yet who the hell wants to be?
As a matter of fact, there were quite a few non-Fords back in the 50s. I was there. Been at this hot roed thing since 1953. To NOT use a Ford, Merc or other popular make/model was actually kinda cool. I took a look at the profile for chrisntx and I didn't see anything to indicate you have any reason to justify your remark. Unless, of course, you meant to diss the guy. Did you?
ps...Hey, F1zzy.....welcome to the H.A.M.B.!! Interesting build plans. Keep us posted with words and photos. Actually, I'm looking at an IH pickup too. Maybe if I find time we'll have a mini-fleet here in Nebraska.
I like chevy trucks, i like ford trucks... in fact i like any make of truck that i think looks cool and that one looks cool to me Good score i say!
