    Found this old truck in rural Crawford County. It has seen its better day. 3/4 ton trucks were really rare the time this one was manufactured.

    Looks to be pretty solid from what the pictures show…you should see about buying it and restore it to original or of there are issues hidden by the snow you could street rod or even just ratrod it.

    Old cars and trucks are a hoot!!

    That thing would be awesome to leave as is and just do the mechanicals to make it a driver. That old patina is sweet!

    Looks like a 1950 International Harvester possibly an L180. Cool trucks.

    I agree except I’m wondering if you “G” are seeing a truck just a we bit heaver sprung. I agree the year is right though.

    Take a second look at the grill. Step fenders and the height. Then a second look at the tire and rim sizes. jmo.

    Ah the old “milk hauler”.

    Wing windows, push out double back windows, minimal switches and gauges. All Steel. Back when a truck was a truck.

    Was just talking about how they don’t build them like they used too….. very few trucks are shot at 80K anymore

    G, do you really think that thing has 80k on it? I’m guessing less then 50k.

    But to your point, in the 60’s/70’s very few cars/trucks make it to 100k. When they did it was the talk of the town. ‘Course many times it was the body the went missing that killed them. Not many ’70’s Chev pickups around now a days.
