I'm on to the next project. I'm currently looking for a late 30's International D series truck. Like a D2 or D30.

Looks like this-


I've been scouring the internet and not finding much.  If anyone knows of of anything like this for sale anywhere in the country please let me know!

I don't want nice but I also don't want rotted to nothing. It doesn't have to run since I'll be replacing the entire drive line anyway.

I would prefer something with no title but if it had one that's ok.

Essentially I need the body. I'll build the frame.

I have a lead on a farm full of these in the Midwest.

This is unfolding faster than I was expecting.

 Shocked

I saw that one and had it saved. Great example. No bed though.

Even so, that doesn't disqualify it.

I figure it can't be that far from you and it's about as rust free as one can find for that vintage. Esp in the salt belt.

The salt belt. So true. What would I do for a bed on that one?

Keep in mind the end result will be trophy truck like. Or maybe I do something different. This is getting to be like work.

Yeah that video is what started all this. I fell in love with the Art Deco look of that truck.

Someone somewhere will sell you a bed, or you can make one if you're so inclined. Depending on what you're putting in it, you'll likely have to cut it anyway.


Doing rust repair is worth avoiding. Buying something you can see first is also pretty nice.

I'm not buying unless I can see it. Some things you can do that with but not this.

Rust is like cancer. You have to be really lucky to get rid of it forever.

Those old trucks look great with a good wooden bed.
