Didnt think to ask about the power plant. I asked the guy if he was racing it and he said he would race anything. Paul I did think about you. Had suv loaded with groceries that needed to get to frige. Naw about Ole, was trying to be nice to the ole truck. If you were loading with FEL i can do that. bg

paul case

I was.
I learned a new thing to not do.
The truck i was loading was a 2 ton with 4' sides. I was trying to dump the first bucket loads in real''easy'' so as to not bust the wooden floor. I didnt catch that the bucket was actually above the front of the bed and a 14'' x 16'' round rolled out of the bucket onto the top of the cab and gently rolled down the windshield :o and across the hood and onto the ground :-X. Lucky for me  it was my truck and there wasnt any damage.  PC

Shoot, I don't think that tire was that old..  better tread than most I run....

Wonder if that was a factory x cab.  INternational did build some so it is possible...

I like that truck!  It brings back memories of the 1 ton International flatbed my Granddaddy had when I was a little kid.  It was their only vehicle through my early childhood.

Father had a couple old IH farm trucks from the 60's and run them second hand for nearly 40 years hauling hay, firewood, gravel and taters. The bodies where is rough shape in the end and not really road worthy, just used on the farm in late years. I was about 8 or 10 and had my first job stepping truck ahead for the hay'n crew in one of them. Of course I made them walk an extra step with each bale, cause they had to be teamed some. Ended up I got mad at'm over something and walked home. At that age, would rather be fishing anyway with grand dad. :D ;D

the new international lonestar is styled after the trucks they built in the 30's sorta like you picture

 I used to have a 47 Cornbinder 1 1/2 ton, all original with a flathead 6. Wasn't fast, but eventually it would haul what you wanted.

Fast forward 35 years. Now I have a 47 Dodge. >:(

Maybe 20-25  plus years ago I worked on an install of a steel stacker at Fisher body in Ontario Ohio which is Mansfield .About twice a week a steel hauler from Cleveland would haul in coiled steel  with either an old Diamond T or an A-Car and both I swear looked like they were brand new .They had obvioulsy been upgraded on the engines though .Those two old trucks stood out like a sore thumb in relatiohship to the Petes and K-Woopers and other modern conventioanl long hood steel haulers that were a constantly in and out of that plant nearly 7 and 24 .GM was selling a boat load of cars back in those days .

I really enjoy seeing those old trucks on the road. That would be a sweet ride with modern running gear. I learned to drive a 46 Maple Leaf (Canadian GMC) with a 6 cylinder and four speed crash box hauling grain when I was 17. That thing was a beast, it had a vacuum operated two speed that gave the truck a top speed of about 50. Even at that age I didn't want to go faster, the tractor steering and juice brakes made it too hard to handle.

My brother in law is prone to a rather odd way of doing things .

He found a 53 Dodge grain hauler that someone put a 16  dump bed on or rather actually extended it .Revamped the whole thing,repainted it made varnished oak side boards ---to haul  firewood  ??? Good grief

Well loaded the old flat 6 would only chug along at about 45 miles per hour and that after maybe a half mile of getting it up to speed .Now he wants to stick a 383 in it .I talked him out of it ,not real practical .

So as the saga continues eventually ye olde grain truck  develops a leaky water pump .Now 50 years after the fact where in the world would you get another ?

Never fear when Al is here .I rebuilt that thing with Ford parts much to everyones surprise .What most people do not know is they only make about a half dozen sizes of arbors and often times there's one out there some place that will fit .Seals are kind of genaric too or can be altered to fit by cutting the pump housing in a lathe ----never say die . ;D

Used to be a fellow in Corinth that had a logging comany.   I bought a serice bed from him and  he showed us around the shop.  He had a  B61 Mack  thats frame was shot.      He  bought a KW glider kit double framed. THen bought a reconditioned motor and transmission.     He had the bogeys off an old truck redone and   started from the ground up.   He had my brother help build an AC system that  went under  the cab.   THen he slapped on some new rubber and Alcoa wheels and a Corvette yellow  paint job and  moved equipment with her. 

I hated seeing my neighbors old trucks get crushed by his crackhead son.  THere was a mint  KB7 IH  like the on in the pic.


I have the frame off a 36 CHevy 1.5 ton that was  bought in Arizona working on a ranch.   Brother and a friend  pulled the  cab off and  made  put it on a stretched late model Chevy frame.   THey took an old   coffin sleeper off a wreck Pete and   narrowed it a few inchez to scale it down.     THey  pulled the back out of the  trucks cab and put the sleeper on and  put captains chairs in the  sleeps with a few ammenities.    Then  mounted the   bed  from an old ramp type   car hauler.      THen shot a couple coats of Emron black paint on the rig and used it to haul his 39Plymoth street rod.

The chrome strips where found behind the seat when we got it home 8) Its all there and fires up as good as any other truck. when we got it home we had to crawl underneath it and manually operate the pto and dump cylinder (rusted pto cable) so we rigged a rope to it and every time we go to dump the firewood you grab the rope and pull :D its a great seller of firewood we stuck it under the processor and filled it up and set it out in front of the road. sold 5 cords that week 8) Tim
