50's/60's International pickups anyone brave enough to build one ?

bad ass bruce

 

future project i have stored away

 

You have to do an introduction before you can post any pics.

 

Here is one I built about 14 years ago.

 

Here is my Old Work Horse... It's a 1952 IHC L-112 Short bed. It has been powered by a 1958 283 since 1985, freshened up once and near due again. Was once nice lookin...

 

This is mine. 57 no eng/trns..Not rusty!! Getting an axel flip and 302 with AOD, just because I have them available.

 

Got going with the drivetrain this past summer. Upgrading brakes and rear end now and going back to solid steel wheels.

 

Cheers mate
i'll get onto that...not so good at computernating!!

 

Here's mine
AS-112 , on Holden (Aussie GM chassis and drivetrain)
Always work in progress

 

That looks a lot like my old one!

 

Put up a picture of it mate... Always keen on seein what other AS's or S's(US) are like

I like the look and stance of your binder. Are your doors factory? In the states those would be off of an L or S model

 

Ooops! I mean L or R model

 

Scroll up a few posts!

 

cheers mate
yeh they're the standard doors,over here all the L's R's ans S's ran same doors
don't reckon i've seen exposed hinges over here...
then again they're all same cabin, and genrally not many S's here at all, if ya see any you normally see the L/R's
On a side note, also like the look of yours, always used to come up on 56 Inter image searches when i was building this one...
Mind you, there's never really been any other options for the build
SLAMMED, STOCKIES, V8...has always been the way! hahaha
you got a build thread on here??
and what you running in the green

 

Sadly I didn't take a lot of pic's while building, hard to hold torch and camera at same time. It's just a bellybutton chevy in it. I'm surprised it came up in searches as I've looked in the past but never seen it. A friend did post it up on youtube a while back but I can't even remember what the title is under. I wish I had your doors as vent window rubber is plentiful for L and R, not so on the larger S window.

 

Cool old binder. Is it a '56? The '56s here in the US did not have dual back windows.

 

Dual rear windows were found in '50-'54 IH's, here is a pic of my '51

 

Those are cool---I've been looking for a 50 or 51 to buid on those squishy things the kids use to go along with the one in the avitar(48 kb1 shortbed, 350 HP)

 

yeh its a 56, dual back windows came on all ours...
L/R/S...but the AS can sometimes be a 55- 56 -57
yeh i've noticed a fair few differences in your year/model
i think here it was pretty much get one change fenders n headlights...
our dash is loads different to yours also
sloped with ribs, where as US ones are stright up n down...
i have always been jealous of the dash (n i dont even smoke!)

 

My dad is building a 1966 one ton dually 4 wheel drive international . My dad tells me it is one of a hundred made that is a1 ton dually 4speed truck. It was actually my first vehicle in high school. . A body man taught me how to do basic body work on it18 years ago. can't wait to see it out n about

 

Lynn Faeth at Scout Connection has done more than his fair share of IH. They do top notch work and they have access to most parts.

Did some work on my '72 Scout

 

haha yeh i know what you mean...
nice...yeh i'm pretty sure it was yer thumbnail shot or similair...
anyway, it was all bout the stance
aah ok, so US models changed up a fair bit?
i'll be getting rid of my vent glass all together and puttin single piece in, to make it easier...
i'd say you could have mine mate, but its as dry as a camels ass, so dont reckon itd be much use to ya...hahaha

 

This are some good looking trucks,keep the pictures coming.

 

I just got a 47 KB2, that I pulled outta my dads barn.been sitting in the barn for 15 years,Need to finish the 51 F2 im working on now. but already find myself thinking about it instead of it instead of the Ford...

 

Timmyd, was your engine originally red? or silver?

There's some debate on another site on which color is correct.

 

just picked up a 65 travelall sat in ladys yard for ten years dropped some gas down carb and fired right up slight problem missing lights and all wiring under hood for lights and alternator can sombody help me with were alt plugs into firewall outlet some good original wireing would be better if sombodys parting out an 1100

 

Here is the 68 my parents had when I was younger. It had an aqua interior, 345 with 5 speed od and a big rollalong slide-in. We used the truck all over the place. Towed an old 70s Rogers jet boat to the river and sand toys to the desert. Wish I could find this thing. When my parents sold it in 1994 it had 72k original miles on it.

 

I am pretty sure I have seen that truck or one like it recently either on craigslist or one of the IH Forums, it was white with the long utility bed (rare). Very cool truck & camper btw. I have a Travelette long bed, looked for years before I found it. I will do some searching and see if I can help you find this one.

That would be cool to find it. It had had the center of the wheels cut and welded to a wider rim. Wheels were black with silver lips and lug nuts. Only truck Ive ever seen like it. Thanks, Matt
