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

Nice to see something diffrent,I hope some more get posted.

 

the golden jubilee models where built in 1957

 

Yep, thats the one he had / has ..I'm sure he kept it

Gerald would be around 75 now , farmer .. I've been told he has 30 restored I-H tractors of various sizes

I was born in 58 ..so, My memory goes back to about 63 or so and the truck was perfect then

He only drove it to go get a malt .. never been married so no kids would of torn it up

Thanks for the picture


MORE BINDERS !!!

 

Neat to see this subject pop up. My Dad learned to drive in a 57 110 and I just purchased one just like it. Pretty rough and I'm gonna need a lot of stuff for it. Hope you guys can help me out with parts locating when I get around to working on this one.

 

Heres a link to a video I took last weekend of "Pool"s binder.

To my eyes the early "53" Studebaker cars and the later 40,s International KB trucks were a design ahead of their time. I don,t understand why they aren,t more popular because the lines are perfect. The streamlining of the Studes was amazing....

 

IMO .. with the International trucks, I think its the "acceptance" factor
Not main stream .. IF a celebrity built one ..well

They are cool trucks .. anything in the 50's and 60s are out of the norm

The kb's have been seen a little

 

Internationals are great! I've owned all sorts of Scouts and a few pickups as well. None have been a 50-60's vintage truck, but I really like the 50's trucks. I'm building a 37 C-1 now.

 

Yep, same as mine

 

Even though Lowlidx50 posted mine already heres another pic. My pop bought it in 73 and I learned to drive in it a few years later. Been sitting since 79 but I've been around the block lately and can't wait to drive the crap out of it. One thing for sure you won't see many at your local cruise.

 

That's the biggest F'ing windshield glass to door glass proportions I've ever seen!

 

Internationals are getting alot more popular then they where a few years ago, i will always have a Binder. Got my first at 14 years old 15 years ago and have owned 60 Scouts 1961-1980, 26 trucks 1935-1974 and 4 travalalls 1966-1975 over the years since i got my first which i still have and it has been rolled twice once at high speed and other was a slow flop on its side in Moab and both times i have been fine, drove it home and was able to put it back together, IH diffenty knew how to build them.

 

Just better watch out internationals are like a disease once you get one they just seem to find you i got a scout when I was 15 by the time i was 18 had 2 "parts scouts added had to sell them when i moved out but still look at all the ones i see I think they need a support group

 

Keep the pictures coming and tell the year .. cause I don't know which is which ..

but they all are great !!! .. Thanks !!

 

There is one on the way to work that is like the one in Planet Terror. I personally like the '59/'60 model if that is the year I am thinking of.

 

heres mine......the red one is the same as your b model, we call them an AA110/120/130,whatever size it is...and the grey one I got for parts as the body is full of cancer, its our first all australian model1963 from memory...the headlights on the "AB" grey one, were used by many custom car builders in the 60/70s..... I need another shed as these old trucks are getting worse sittin around......

and here is the drivers door......

 

now that's one bad ass binder!!!

 

any more farmalls ?

 

This is my fiance's project. Its her grandfather's '51 L-120. We're mounting it on an S-10 frame and putting a 305/5spd in it.

 

So is the S10 frame swap fairly straight forward on these? Might be an easy way to get one down in the weeds, or at least to a more reasonable ride height.

 

So far yes, but I've only got the cab mounted, and the front clip partially mounted. The bed will probably have to be channeled a bit since the S10 frame kicks up behind the cab. Wheelbase is a bit on the narrow side for the L series, but nothing some spacers or new wheels won't cure.

 

not a truck but close enough. still needs alot of work but its gettin there. tryin to figure out what bumper i could use for the front of this thing. any suggestions?

 

Ahh yes, the travel-all

Back home we called those "menonite missles"
You should be able to locate a bumper, the pickup ones are the same

I'd guess the year on that as 64 maybe ?

 

close, its a 62'. i probably could find a stock bumper, but they just look big and boring to me. maybe ill just get some measurements and go to the junk yard and see what i can find that would look good and work.

 

here is my 51 ..i drive this everyday it sits on a 78 ford 1\2 ton frame

 

Hey it's my first post! I looked for a '50-54 IH pickup for 2-3 years before I found the right one. I'm currently working on rewiring the electrical top to bottom. Next I want to pull some leafs out. Here she is...

 

Ya im right in the middle of building one right now!

I'm gathering up the parts now for my '63 1300 stepside. I'm converting it to 4 wheel drive with tall 900/16 vintage mud tread. I'm looking to replace the front clip to an earlier model, hopefully from a '58/59. I also plan to construct a canvas canopy to cover the bed and house my tool boxes. It will become my daily and I will sell my present work truck.
