Ok here is the story behind the 1951 international L120 3/4 ton long bed . a freind of my dads had this truck in there family since 1952 0r 53 . last taged the truck in 1962 then parked it and then moved it one more time in 1975 that was the last time it was drivin. and let it sit out side then let it sit untill
just this past july. The city was pesturing him to move it or get tickets for storing it in the driveway .. he couldnt move it so we told him we can move it and store it out our place of work . he said if you can pick it up its yours .. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

this truck has screws holding all the dash area in and other stuff .will see where it goes . had to pput tires on the front to get it a roller . they charged me 35.00 per tire the guy freaked when he saw the rims were split rims. ![]() if we stay with the orignal running gear . ![]() |
