Barn Find: International Harvester Pickup

abso-expletive deleted-lutely!!!!! snatch it up !

 

This is what hot rodding is all about. Info, a story, help and a number for questions. That's traditional

 

ya could try changing your name to onenarrowmind

that truck will make a great ride.

 

Great truck man! I would build it just tell everyone it's a 32 coupe and it'll be fine!!!

 

How about this one then ? Is on a neighbours property, and yep he told me i can have it. It was a potato truck and had the flathead put in it in the 60's

 

Wow! 4284555sd thanks for the info, I will absolutely get ahold of you. I'm excited about doing this up. I just went to take a look at it this morning after feeding the calves and it was a "B" not an "8". I really hate these transistion glasses, you can't see anything when the sun is shining. I was working on my Econoline and I couldn't find the tranny dipstick until I took off the blasted things! i really want to thank all the members for being so positive in this non-traditional build.

 

Labrat,...at least those combines have big'n'littles, altho they are on the wrong ends!
Joeyjohn,...I have a shortbed pickup frame for sale if you wanna downsize that truck. The frame has an early Malibu front suspension on it already...you'd need some 1/2 ton front fenders tho as those KB8's are bigger

 

I am just as surprised as you were..... but it sounds like alot of guys on here liked my 1947 Ford 1.5 Ton DRW build as well.

Maybe my thread can give you a few ideas......

Glad to see another 'big rig' getting pulled out of the boondocks.....

 

looks great to start with,
good luck in getting it, it will be nice

 

Did ya score that baby yet?

 

What did you use for running boards, or did you make them. I have six yes 6 of these trucks. I am planning on building one over the winter. I just hate the stock short running boards.

 

Mine won best custom and one of 10 celebrity picks at the Carlisle all GM Nats last weekend....

 

Cool! That's what I mean!!!!
I hope everyone has a great 4th, I'm going to the free fireworks at the golf course tomorrow night. the brother-in-law is seeing if this truck is part of the estate, his mother died right before he married my sister and he got the farm house and a portion of the land. I sure hope it's just his, it seems like all the vultures come out after someone dies.

 

haha. and normally it isn't nearly as cool

 

thats a sweet ihc man,. do you have any more pictures of it?

anyone can build a traditional hotrod it takes a true enthusiast to look beyond the obvious and build a one of a kind. Hot rodding was never meant to be buy a catalog and build. So hats off to building somrthing different. (more fun to really look for the hard to find stuff and not build from a catalog of repop stuff.

 

Check out my KB google 47kb2 i think its in rodders journal and oldihc.org two of my trucks are in the pics section under kb48 one is an extended cab the other is a 5 inch roof chop both are kb to give you a idea of what thc look like my way

 

Well, it is a desirable 3 window!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Turn it into a real cornpatch-Cadillac!

Cool find, looks to be real straight.

 

Did you ever get it?

 

An International won at the ALL GM Nats? Must have been the custom hood prop.

 

Congrats on that! Any events on the way?
