lets see your 1956 international s120 pics

Nice to see another IH thread. I love mine. It'll be done later this year.

 

yes thanks im in love with my international lol. are the frames from 40 to 56 the same witdth?

 

I know from '50-'57 they are. Not positive about 40's but I would imagine they are very similar.

 

and can u tell me how to talk with ppl from the old hic

 

never mind lol

 

in a calm low tone

 

I had an S years ago that I was working on making a rod out of. I sat it over onto a '78 Malibu Wagon frame. The "ears" on the bottom of the cab sat right down over the frame rails, and the overall width looked like it would have worked fine. It had a SBC and T350 in it, but the wheelbase was a little short for my taste, IIRC. I didn't take pics...sorry!

 

ya well iv been out for a bit iv been taken 2 cars apart one my 56 truck and 2 my 82 cutlass took me 2 week to get all apart . cab and front is on the g body my brakes are in wires are in just used the cutlass wires going to start truck in about a week going to do new thread guys just so you know ill add pics

This is may second '56 Travelall. Just bought this mostly restored Vehicle about 6 weeks ago.BD240 was replaced with a BG240. All drive train refurbished, but the final 2 part drive gear in the NP201 transfer case is noisy, as they all are. Will remove it and weld it in the near future (Yes, I have done this repair before and it held up in the previous Travelall for 200,000 miles.)

I am also going to upgrade the vehicle a bit to make it more drivable. Going to Saginaw power steering and a power brake set up. No kits, just scrounged parts. Also switching from the Holley 1904 single to the Holley dual throat 350 cfm ( just pulled a blank on the number) 2300 series. Removing and storing the bumpers and fabricating HD bumpers from 6" channel. Adding spare tire carriers both front and rear bumpers. Also adding additional fuel tanks to try to get to 100 gallons onboard. Thirty right now; previous vehicle I fabricated my own tanks and got her up to 80 gallons.

 

My S120 Travelall is 115" WB.

 

Nice stance on that truck Buddy!!!!

Now if you can get it nice n low like that when its running, cool!

 

Been working on a 1956 S-120 for a couple months or so just as a kool parts runner and fun truck. Started out with a decent runner (green) and a parts truck (grey). The Final product came out pretty nice for a quick redo and didnt take too much work to get done. I ended up doing a clutch and full tune up, brakes and of course the old elbow grease cleaning and quick paint. I was even able to use some old parts, odds and ends i've had sitting around for years to finish it up.

 

About what it looked like when it rolled it the shop. Also if anyone needs shift data plate i made this one off the original that was on the dash.

 

There is a guy in Washington state who took his '56 S120 Travelall and mounted it on a Ford Expedition frame and installed a 6BT diesel in it. Runs it on waste vegetable oil. Not truly finished yet, but he drives it and it looks right! Bill USN-1 hangs out on Binder Planet.
