Exact same truck that my dad gave me in 1971. He had used it to go to work for years and kept it in original condition and running great. I lost the truck in a divorce settlement. Sure wish i still had it now! It was even the same color as this one!
I had a 51 IH truck back in about 1980.it was all original and perfect with factory paint that still shined and ran like a top.I sold it to a friend for $300! He drove it on highway faster than it was meant to go and blew it up.i have always regretted selling it.
As a side note I one time changed a flat tire on passenger side and when i broke off all 5 lug nuts i remembered it had left hand threads on that side'oops!
Great looking truck. I'm looking at a '52 dually in BC now. No rust but engine worn. What max diameter tire could I put in the front without cutting the fenders? Thnx
The positive crankcase ventilation valve in the chrome oil cap,isnt necessary or original.They are supposed to be on motors that have a vacuum source BELOW the throttle blade blade. i.e,one that has peak suction at idle.
Hello friend, I live in Brazil and I have an International Harvester L120 1951 is missing the chrome bars that stays in the front grille, could I behave where can I find? thankful.
I learned how to drive in a International Harvester truck and shift with a clutch and stop and go in a white 1964 step side about 1968/69 B4 I could hardly even reach the peddles. 8/4/19 12.52 pm cst USA TRUMP 2020..
They drive like farm trucks with a very low first gear... You can take off in second if it's easier for you... The transmission doesn't mesh like modern ones do, so you have to EASE the shifter into gear at low rpms.. Push the clutch in, pull the shifter towards the drivers door, push forward until it slides into gear with grinding,, bring the gas up slightly, let the clutch out slowly... That's about the best instruction I can do in this form.
@@thebighotrod1 I believe the higher gears are synchronized (they were on my dad's 1949 IHC pickup). To get it into first without any grinding, push the shift lever enough to generate resistance in any of the other forward gears, then move the lever to 1st. Lightly engaging the synchros of a different gear stops the input shaft from spinning to allow a flawless engagement to 1st without having to wait several seconds for the shaft to stop spinning on its own. If the teeth of the 1st-gear set are not aligned and won't engage, just let up the clutch ever so gently while maintaining pressure and it will "slip" into place with just a click. This also works with any modern truck having a non-synchro 1st gear. To shift into 1st on the fly, you must double-clutch. There are surely good instructions for double-clutching elsewhere on youtube. Double-clutching takes practice, but it's useful even for selecting synchronized gears as a way of minimizing wear and tear. Some say to "float the gears" with the clutch engaged instead of double-clutching, but you can mess up slightly when double-clutching and all you get is a slight bit of clatter, while that same lack of perfection when "floating the gears" will result in horrible grinding. "Floating the gears" is best left to the big trucks with dog engagement of the gearsets (instead of actually engaging gear teeth the way you are with 1st gear in this truck).
I love Internationals,toughest trucks ever.I"m suprised that"s a factory color.Had a 1966,1 ton,4 wheel drive,real work horse.Loved that truck.
I've been an IHC fan for decades, and that's one lovely truck!

Tailgate chains should be hooked from underneath to prevent them from bouncing out on the road.

We're did you get the tires from? I'd love a set for my L 120
