well after a couple of weeked of sanding and tring to get the beast going ive hit the wall on the motor ive bent three push rods on number 4 and number 6 and the the studs are pulling out of the head and to make maters worst the head are not was gm"s best to start with .. they were giving to me from a freind . the heads are the 462624 which i didn't know at the time that they are known to crack if they been modified.
ive desided fo go with a bigger cam on the motor with is 4 bolt to start with and alum heads 2.02 1.60 any way here we go .
but atlest i got the rest of the fire wall finished .

[niterider65]

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 .. its all orignal . 53'000 miles its a real hi hp motor 90hp @ 3600 rpm's i'm thinking stump puller . dad wan't to see it the motor will run if it dose run will keep it orignal . if the motors junk or bad its big block blower time ... : will see got the gas tank cleaned and sealed ant the starter and gen is being rebuilt now will see what happens

[niterider65]

Im thinking im needing more room . i still need to do some more cleaning on the moter area . and some por on part of the cab floor .
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. I'm not going to run them .but you can't just order them thru jegs and they have 16x6x7.25 rims ill have to have a set made
if we stay with the orignal running gear .

[niterider65]

i think my 65 in in here some where

[1963c-10]

very cool old truck and not bad for free

[niterider65]

Thanks Man i just wish they could have taken a little better care of it all the glass was shot out and i think this might be the first time in 30 plus years its finally in a garage . but at least saved it from the crusher

[niterider65]

spent a little time in the shop this weekend . put new ubolts on the lower a frames and cleaned on the frame and also spent time on the 51 also ..
ill be glade to get the 51 running so i can get it moving so i can have more room the fun was getting the ubolts closed up to fit the space uses the vise and sqeezed a little at a time

[niterider65]

couple of the 51 l pressured washed the moter with degreaser
and cleaned the valve cover and the oil canester . new plugs and wires
the top of the mover looked really for sitting for 50 plus years

[niterider65]

spent a little time in the shop to day and finally got some thing done

Looking Sweet!!!

[niterider65]

worked on the frame to day have a grease fitting broken off in the lower
a frame was a easy fix with an old flat tip screw driver filed down to use a a easy out and replace oll the fitting . putt the steering back on not sure if its right the stearing rod the tie rods mount to dose not look straight. its angeled a littl bit to much for my liking not sure if i need to use a 70-72 mount and not the 65 that i redrilled on the frame ?

You look like your a busy man with lots going on. Your frame is looking good. Nice work!

just some more one piece @ a time going back to gether
untill i hit the first snag of the brake lines the whip hose for the rear brakes
is not right . the hole need to be bigger and the block need to be square it will not mount in the braket on the rear .
