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

My gramps drove nothing but International pickups ..

Anyone ever built one, is there a website dedicated to them ?
I know there was one that was real slick about 1965 gold/white and lots of chrome .

Show me whats out there .. Thanks !

 

someone on here has a 62 or so travel all... I did a photochop on it.

I've always thought a early 70s ihc pickup would look good with the bed shortened and lowered.

 

i am working on a 57 a-120 for a customer,check out ol ihc.org?(or .com) its not so easy getting parts for them,pm me with any qeustions, i have done a lot of homework on ihcs during this project

 

website's no good

The web page is www.oldihc.org. I have a 1954 R-100, 1955 S-100 and a 1966 Travelall Panel that are future projects after my 1935 C-1, 1936 C-1, 1937 D-15 and 1942 K-2 are finished.

 

Here is mine I built a year ago. It is a 1951 IHC. Flipped front axle with dearched springs and a flipped rear end with homemade lowering blocks. It has a SBC with a tunnel ram and 2 rochester 4GCs on it. It ran a two speed power glide and the stock interior. It had the sweet hood that opened from both sides or you could unlatch both sides and take it right off. All in all a pretty cool truck.

 

Kinda strange this thread would pop up. I haven't been on here in a long time and I just got back from a buddy of mine's garage. We're gettin ready to hop up a 51 international. Droppin a 360 mopar in it. I can keep the progress posted when there is some to post.

Anybody know where I could get 51 grill?

 

Damn! this is pretty much what we're building

 

"Loco Louie" here on the HAMB is building one right now....

 

Thanks, I found it in a field, pulled it home, it ran and drove when I got it. I touched up the brakes, changed the drivetrain and through some paint on it and drove the hell out of it. Then I got broke and sold it, some guy in wisconsin got it. So if you have seen it or heard of it let me know wouldn't mind seein the old girl again.

 

Yep, grandpa had one like that ..then a 60 ish one that had those
upright oval lights ..I like em

Hope more pictures get posted !

 

I have a 54 I am working on. Although I stole the 350\350 out of it last week for a roadster project.

Mines clipped with a s-10 front and I used a 4X4 s-10 rear on the original leaves in the back with a c-notch.

I was going to get the front clip on it this weekend and see if I could sell it.

 

I have a '59 or '60 (not sure) AA110 (same as a B110) step side.
I plan on warming up the original 240 cube 6 or maybe swapping in a 282, with twin carbs and split headers.

 

Man I love old international trucks. My dad had a mid 60's one when I was growing up. He picked it up at a swap meet for 300 bucks. We drove that thing back and forth from AZ to Fla so many times. Would love to get a hold of one.

 

One day we'll get around to painting it....

 

My brother had a red '52, we stuffed a 354 Firepower in it. Wild!

 

hell yes! heres my '50 L110, now undergoing total drivetrain replacement, A arm front end w/disc brakes, 350/350 eng and trans, 12 bolt posi rear w/ disc brakes. could'nt drive it stock anymore, was just a POS, all shakey and wobbley, fuck that, want it to be a DD. i plan on drivin' the shit out of it when she's done!

 

Hey Guys, those are some really cool trucks.
Let's see some more.

That looks awesome .. good job !!

zman, I love that year range .. what year is that ?

I searched the topic before this, I did not really see anythng on them
which,suprised me ..

MORE PHOTOS!!!

please ?

 

it's a '60... more photos ... it's been sitting waiting for paint for a while now... it's funny how life gets in the way of finishing things...

 

I like the old binders too. This one is sitting at my dad's place...I keep thinking I should do something with it.

I've got a 57 s-120 and my father in-law has a couple of 54's, both are flatbeds. I think they are pretty cool for being old farm trucks.

 

My neighbor as a kid (Lived on a farm)
Had a double throw down super spit shine gold/white one

I seem to remember something about golden jubilee or something
More than like he still has it , he babied even then and he is still alive and collects IH tractors

Hey, how come ol' Brandy has not snuck in here and gave us some facts yet ..Shes a red lover

 

Got a 53 r130 that i shortened to 1/2 ton length and reduced leafs all around. Should be done soon.

 

Mine from 15 years or so ago. Was pretty neat, pulled leaves out 'til it sat right, then we put in a 350/350. Sad, but I forgot if it was a '55 or 6, single back glass, not the 2 piece. Anyway, this is, by far, the most substantial truck I have ever seen or owned. When I bought it, it had concrete encrusted Reebok foot prints over all the top surfaces, it was being used as scaffolding for a house addition. Straight body, no dents anywhere, steel bed floor. I remember the 6 had a glass bowl Holley. Drove nice, not so much around hard corners though, as the headers drug on the tie rod! haha

 

Here's my '56....currently stock, but in the process of an "altitude adjustment" and rear end swap for more highway friendly speeds...

These trucks are built like tanks and very simple to work on.



Damn...my neck hurts lookin' at that...gotta get some better pics this weekend....

 

I'm building a '56 short box, mounted on an S-10 chassis, (I know, that's not too popular with some people around here) the original frame and steering was badly butchered by someone trying to install a small block. I don't have any pics on my work computer but i'll try and post some tonight when I get home.

Here is my '47. Drive it every day.

 

Those 47's have nice lines too ..should be more popular really ?

But, I really like that 60 era ,,Didn't SKYKING or someone have one on a tv show in the early 60's ?
