They're an absolute beast. They were a REAL truck when the rest were only 3/4 there. They cost a little more than the big three's pickups - and people didn't realize they were worth every extra penny, so the IH died out of the pickup market.
Nice truck, I have my dad's 1951 L110 that is 2WD I'll be converting it to a 4WD, donor truck is a 1953. Now the questions. Is the engine a Silver Diamond and what size? Your tail and front fender turn lights do you think there factory? FYI, the frame on the 130 is wider than the 110, I know because when I painted mine 45 years ago it needed a grill, my dad went down south and brought back a complete doghouse so I had to relocate the opening where the grill goes around the front frame horns.
Good morning. If you see another one of these or anything International in the 50's i am looking for a cab to place atop an old scout frame and 304 engine. let me know. If it's not a million miles away i would like to get.
The L series International pickups have great body lines. My favorite of all the makes from the early 50's. You might like to see my short video of my 52, in its original green paint. It was a ND farm truck and sat inside all the time. The paint still shines up like new. th-cam.com/video/zKTm0UXu320/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zgbJR_QdSAXLQjnD We did do a chassis swap on it though, as I wanted it as my daily driver and the original drive and chassis had to go after a few years of thinking and researching my options. I've owned it 22 years.
That truck looks like a total unmolested old original truck I am I H fan I am a retired truck mechanic and have worked on a lot of I H trucks up in to the 2016 s

If these old engines are working well, don’t do anything to them, if it ain’t broke Don’t Fix It.

I have a 53 cab, I live in Central Indiana. Don't remember what condition it's in.
