"Frank" the '56 International S100 Pickup build / rebuild - Intro

Frank is a '56 International S100 sitting on a customized '76 Dodge D100 chassis. This video explains what the truck is, and what I am intending on doing for the build project.

You should keep the t-case and hook a driveline to the front output to run ??? Something hydraulic? air? Generator to charge a Tesla? Rotisserie for a mobile smoker unit? The possibilities are endless 😁👍

True

I have one of these with 80,000 miles just sitting in the far end of my shop my grandpa should be 1 and only owner, any value in the thing? It certainly wouldn’t run as is it’s just sat for along time.

[@4thstreetgarageandfab]

Value is highly subjective. But just because it's been sitting for a very long time doesn't mean that it won't run. What part of the country do you live and how long has it been parked inside away from the elements? I've seen vehicles that have been parked for 40 years come back to life with minimal work. If it was me, there is no way that I wouldn't be trying to get it fired up and drivable.

That’s gonna be a cool truck once it’s said and done. Are you planning on leaving the transfer case in it or ditch it?

[@4thstreetgarageandfab]

I think that I can convert the 4wd Torqueflite over to a 2wd transmission by just swapping out the the tail housing. So that is the plan for now. Will see how it plays out later
