Thread: International P U

Tweet

While visiting a cafe in North Vancouver, I came across the small International P/U.

I think it is from the '40's but I could be wrong. It looked to be in good shape generally. The 'moons' look like something from the '50's but the truck I am not certain.

Looks like about a 1951 or 52 IH model L-110

Thanks for the info. I thought it may have been older than that. Then the 'moons' may be good with it.

yeah thats a 51 or 52 ihc theres one in our field at the farm that was my grandfathers, i like how the dashes look in these

That body style started in 1949, but the first year had flush door hinges. Your pic seems to have the deeper door glass, which makes it a 53 or 54. Can't see the grille to be certain. By '55, the rear window was one piece, and different front end. Door windows deeper yet.
Cute truck, though I prefer short boxes. The wheels don't look like 16's, they're probably Mopar or Ford rims. Same bolt pattern.

I'm guessing the green one above is a 1954 R-130, 127" WB. 16" x 6.50 six ply tires ( 6 on 7.25" IH bolt pattern ) white rims with stock hub caps.

Here's another classic example short bed was for sale on fleabay.

Instead of starting a new thread, 57 and 79 IH respectively together.

Dog day afternoon

My father in law used to have a real nice 39 International PU. It was all original and was fun to drive and take to shows. He ended up selling it to a guy from Wisconsin who was looking for a parade truck. It would have been very nice rodded, but being what it was, I was glad to see that it was maintained as a antique.

'39 was a great year for IH. They used the D cab into the 40's on the larger trucks. The K5 was originally a 2 ton.

Looks like Towmater. The truck not you.

I think it has a new name.

Hey why not. Its even red!

I had one of those 57 IH's in the driveway of my house for a number of years in the late 70's early 80's. I didn't have the title and couldn't afford to restore it either. Like a dummy I sold it to a junkyard for $50. The 57's have a nice looking body style. I would think this day and age they are very rare.
