Hello again everyone! The last truck was such a success that I started looking around on the internet to see if I could get lucky enough to find another one of those early 50's International Pickup trucks. I found one in California, bad glass, no papers etc. Found several others that were in the wrong year range. Nothing that I could use, maybe some 1960's stuff but I wanted the same body style truck because I already know exactly what to do with one of those. Nothing that was rough & ready. I took a shot in the dark at an area of Indiana that is very rural, middle of nowhere type stuff.
I found a kid with the exact same truck. He was selling it cheap (sort of) because he'd gotten in over his head and knew he was never getting it finished. I called him up, about three and a half hours away. We made a deal and I borrowed a tow dolly and long into the wee hours of the night, I brought it home.
It's the more civilian version of the R-120 3/4 ton truck that I had before, basically the same exact thing, but this one is an R-110 with nicer door cards, it's a half ton truck and a four speed on the floor.
It's also in much better original condition. Good glass on this one, good papers. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you: The next installment of--
Hemi 4x4 1953 International pickup truck ('Old Blue as it's now known)

Are you building the same style as before, or doing things a bit different?

This one will be better all around. A bit different, more creature comforts. More style but very similar. Depending on how the regular job goes, this shouldn't take long...  |

The wife is considering allowing me to kill her Hemi Durango to use as the donor... If that happens, this will be happening REAL fast.
