Steve’s IH project received some attention lately. He lowered the truck 6 in the rear, and roughly 4.5 in the front. The back half got some paint, and new brake lines. While in the front, he installed 3 drop spindles along with shorter 1/2 ton springs . The body was set on just for a quick view of the new look. It’s off again as there is more to do! ...

Here’s some photos of Steve’s 50 IH project just as promised. The International body now sits nicely on a shortened 1984 Chevy 1/2 ton 2wd frame and drivetrain. It’s certainly received a look of its own now. Much much more to do on this yet. Any comments? Slam it? Leave it? Thanks for looking

Steve recently purchased a 1950 IH L112 from a local relative. The truck had been sitting for over 40 years! Steve plans to place the body on a different frame and drivetrain. Here’s some photos of his progress in the last few days.

Wasn’t long before the 55 was ready for a test drive! Thanks to Graham from Hammerhead Hotrods for helping with the tuneup!

Knowing it was likely seized, they planned to try and break it free. And after a few days of wrenching, taking the heads off etc, they did just that. The 327 small block fired up with the original carb! (And a new fuel pump)
