sorry if this has been asked before. are the windshields the same for all the L/R/S series trucks (50-57). asking cuz a seen a couple of trucks today with some nice windows.

 

My '63 is finally one color, flat black.

 

Very nice!

 

Here is my 50'

 

anyone have links to puting a v8 in a international.. 1950 -1954

 

You don't have to be brave to build IH's,,just resourceful since there is almost nothing in the way of aftermarket parts of any IHC.

 

Great thread. I really like the 59-60 fleetsides.

 

my 51 l110 takes a dw142 which i think is the same. i could use one if you find any extras.

 

that's why I build mine all IH
​

 

Here's my S-100 and L-130. Thats the og owners brother pictured with the 100. The 130 has 45K original miles. Both trucks were used in the oil field in OK. Plans are to keep the 100 stock since it's so complete and stretch the 130 for a 9' custom flatbed.

 

i think they are kinda neat trucks...here is one i had a few years ago... sold it before i really did anything with it.

 

who here flipped the front axle on your IH and anyone with pics?

 

i wannna see a v8 in stock frame ...( stufffin 400 poncho in mine ..)

 

IH sv8, 345 engine was out of a ?? LoadStar. Went into '57 A120, originally an inline 6. That's my kid bolting up the headers.

 

A few pictures of a kb1 I'm upgrading a little with a few more pony's than stock.

 

how about this one 5.5 inch chop cad sub frame 350/700r

 

wow, things must be better three than here. We are in the rust belt here, get a good deal but.... Well it still is above ground, and whats a grand between soon to be freinds

 

Best thread ever. Im trading my shoebox tomorrow for a 50' L series. It needs some love and im takin a pretty big loss but my dad hot rodded these trucks. My first truck was supposed to be his L series but back then we were broke and that truck made ends meet. 15 years later im buildin one i cant wait.

 

Internationals heritage is strong in the U.S. they build M-1 garand rifles for the military , also built what is known today as whirlpool appliances , tractors ,semi's, and almost any piece of industrial/ farm equipment you could ever need . Such a badass company.

 

Thats awesome !

 

Man I just don't get it. I've got a 68 T'all. 345 w/4 spd. I bought this truck in Oregon sight unseen, flew my family out, and drove her to SETX. Strong, Solid. Daily. Whay are you guys changin the drivetrain?

Well I can't speak for everyone here, bur mine had the hood, valve cover and the rest of the top of the engine removed leaving the pistons looking at daylight for half a century.
Even I'd the engine was in good shape, I likely still would have swapped. Just for the fact that SBC parts are SO much easier to come by.

 

Above pictures , My 69 car hauler 345 4spd Top speed 65. Not much in performance, but lots of torque!

 

Here's a blown 345, turn the volume all the way up.
