Bought a new toy today

Bought me a 1947 International Pick Up today.
Can't wait to start working on it.
I'll have to get some photo's tomorrow, it was dark by the
time we got it home.

Very cool... Enjoy!

Cool! I learned to drive in one of those.

Very nice! You sure don't see them on the roads very often.

Here's a link a short video of my new toy.

Looks to be in very good condition Kurt!!! What a great find!!

Thanks Dave no rust in the cab and has had a new floor welded in.
It's a 1989 351V8 caddy motor trany and frame with disc brakes all the way around.
They told me it won a couple car show's and I started laughing, and said when in 1947???
HE! HE! HE! I just can't help it sometimes.

Cool old truck. Looks like a great score.

that's not a bow tie emblem

Wow, nice score! That is a very solid and good looking truck!

looks like a long bed .. begs for a frame and bed chop ...

Not bad... Not bad at all!!

Hmmm... 4-link & c- notch th rear, air bags all around, LS motor, ...
Oh sorry, just slipped into a dream... Lol...
Build thread? Count me as a follower......

Is there a chart or forum where I can find out what exact caddy motor is in this truck???

I learned to drive in a '46! That was a loooooong time ago. {:-) About '64.

Anyone know the best way to ID a caddy motor.
Where do I look for a ID??? on them.
Thanks Kurt

Give
cad500parts.com
A read.

'60something to '85. The ID somewhere between intake man & trans mount
right by the oil pressure sending unit.... From where They say to look.
There is a pic showing it, but so sorry, IDK how to parselink!!! :-(
Hope this helps

Another source, one that Tech references often - http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...gine_knowledge

Thanks T-Top& Rspears, I was told it was a 89 caddy motor.
But I was also told it was a 351 and when I called the parts store
they said there is no such animal.

Neat, from the sounds of it there are a lot of folks (including me) with International truck stories.

Can you post a picture of the engine, at least we might be able to narrow down the engine family.

Kurt, '89 was in the years when Cadillac was using a lot of non-Cadillac engines, wasn't it? A quick scan of the Wiki articles points to several different engines, like GM 350's, some from Olds, some from Buick.....

You are exactly right Roger.
I went out looking at the numbers on the intake manifold and the firing order.
I found these numbers 411990 D1CB and a firing order of 18436572.
The googled them and found the same numbers on the Classic Oldsmobile site.
The numbers go to a 1977 350cid Oldsmobile motor or intake.
170 HP and 275 Torque at 2400 rpm's. 8.1 compression.
I can see some pop up pistons in it's future
Here's what I read on the link below.
Thanks Kurt

The nice thing about the little 350 Olds engines is that a 403 or 455 bolts right in place. :D
