New Member from Alabama

Hi everyone! I have been reading some of your posts for a while and decided I would join up. I have recently purchased a 1953 International R110 and may be asking for help here and there haha. I hope to learn as much as I can from you all and p*** something along the way. That being said if anyone knows of a grill in decent shape for a International R110 hit me up I'm going to be needing one. Glad to join and thanks in advance for your knowledge and experience.

 

Hi & welcome. You might try a Google search for a 1953 International R110 Grille. Sometimes finding one is that simple. You also could post a frontal photo of the truck and someone here might recognize what it looks like.
Also ebay can turn up the strangest things when you search.
What part of the country are you located as likely there are some of us nearby although the backgrou scenery in your photo do not look anything like around here.

I'm in Alabama and thanks for the reply. I have searched all over for a grill most I find are bad as mine lol.

 

Hi again. Another thought is back in the day shops would have replaced the grille simply because in that day the grills were cheap but the do it yourself guys would have straightened the grille. You might get yourself a couple of body hammers & a couple of different shape body dolly's for back up & take the grill out and straighten it. You will also need a body file but use it sparingly once you get the shape close just to find the high & low spots. Do not try to file down the highs or you likely will go thru.
