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

I don't think there ready to accept a sooped up IH yet ! So keepem thinkin and keep CHUG-A-LUGIN 5mph

 

Heres a pic of my 49 KB1. Its sitting on a 93 S10 chassis.

 

The little GREEN HORNET, the uncles International nearly finished. Pickup has a 2-stoke detroit motor, will feature twin pipes. Truck has metal flake paint, and interior. The pinstripes and scroll style was used alot in the 60s and 70s here in New Zealand

 

I have 58 traveall I put alot into. New front clip, rear disc, 350 700r4.
Also a 62 c-100 awaiting the knife.

 

here is mine.... I'm starting to think it's never going to get done!!!!!

been working on it for 7 long months!!!!!!

This build has me about whipped!!!! nothing has gone smooth!!!

I've been thrashing to get it done for the pile up... It's gonna be close!!!!

new crate 350, 700R, mustang II (it's actually for a 42 to 46 chevy truck with modifications), 4 link rear, Air Ride.... and every freakin nut bolt and thing that attaches to it is NEW!!! my budget truck idea went out of the window about 3 months ago!!!!

anyway I think it looks cool, and I guess you could say I'm brave enough to be different... because everyone who looks at it usually stands there, shake their head and says "WOW you must be nuts to put this much work and time into a damned 'ol International!"

I usually just laugh and say "YES I AM, But it's cool aint it!"

hahaha! damn this car disease!!!!!

 

The "Golden Jubilee" model mentioned earlier was produced in 1957.
Here's a pic of a restored (or original?) one. If I'm not mistaken they only came in the gold & white color scheme.



Here's a local '57 or '58 up on blocks and peekin' through the trees.



IMHO the '57 / '58 body style isn't nearly as attractive as the earlier trucks, but I guess they have their own charm. (Actually they're so freakin' ugly they're kinda cute!).
Here's a '58 illustration stolen off the excellent Plan 59 site.

 

there is one of these (might be this one ? ) coming up on a auction in Illinois with IHC tractor collection

 

Some updated pics of my '56 S100 with a 56 DeSoto Hemi and airbags.

 

i got a 51 L110 , its gonna get a 360 mopar soon , any one no where i can find a good grill ? mines half rotted off.

 

Post a pic, maybe I can find one here..Lots of junk rolls thru the junk yards I see from time to time , it can be bought cheap most times

 

here it is

 

I am currently building a '57 S-110... Looked like this when I brought it home:




Just put a 6.9L IH diesel with an ATS turbo in it by swapping the chassis. I need a 3/4 ton truck for most of the hauling I do, so it was the best way. Especially since the motorhome chassis I used only had 40K miles on it and the price was right!!

Here is the new floorpan/firewall in mid-fab to clear the turbo...




Bottom of cab blasted, epoxied and coated with hot rod black:



6.9L motor looks right at home:





Interior painting has begun-



I need to get some more recent pics... I now have the frame blasted and painted, the steering and brakes functional and this weekend is "wiring". I have moved the old girl into a portable canopy garage so its tough to get good photos of the overall progress...

Any of you guys know where I can find (or how I can make) the gaskets for the wing windows??

 

Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of these hood ornaments or any to suit this hood or the chrome strip?

Absolutely loving this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Theres gotta be more Binders out there.....Postem

 

a little O/T for this board , but here`s my `48 that I back halfed

 

My family is dedicated IHC. We had a dealership for 30 some years. I love the styling of the S line trucks and we had a C99 (short well base slant 4) that us kids used as a fishing truck. (code for abused).

However what I remember as a kid was about a '56 merc 1/2 ton they took on trade. Thats what I wanted. However they sold it....

 

i need a grill and tailgat for my 51 L110 , anyone know where I should look?

 

WOW, I like to see more pics of your 48!

 

I took these at the Frankensteiners show last month.

 

Hey LowFat post up some more pic's of that truck.........

 

It always comes down to what you like. I personally like the thirties, and the 40'. The cornbinders were always a thorn in the side of the parts guy, because it was a mystery what parts they were using. Some of these examples shown are quite nice.

 

I am building a 54 r110 with a 51 grille (looks better to me) What front disc combos are available for the stock axle?

 

straight forward disc swap.....http://www.oldihc.org/index.php?module=pnForum&func=viewtopic&topic=6679&highlight=

 

this was a customers that I cut and installed the glass

 

Yup G.B. still has it. They were targeted at the Chev. Comeo.
Up scale ,gentelmans pickup. ( step side box, with 1/4's like a car)
I have about 20 I.H. trucks

 

These are a few I'v run across over the years. My broutherinlaw owns the 36, I own the green 48, pluss I have 3 parts trucks in various states of self destruction or parts rendering.

 

Good to see the Binders represented, I just sold a '52 L-112 and had the same problems with finding a good grille for it.

There is a salvage yard up my way that has a decent tailgate but not sure of what he would want for it..he is old school and you catch him on the right day he almost gives stuff away.

 

could you send me the name and phone number of that place if you get time , i'll call and see if he ships up here.thanks

 

had a 47 a few years ago that i sold, but was wandering about the 50-57 cabs, are they basically the same other then the noticeable rear window does the doors and front sheetmetal interchange
