My '53 R130

This summer I was able to pick up a 1953 International r130 with all numbers matching for $500 canadian in a farmer's field. In the pictures of the 3 trucks together mine's the middle one. It is also the only one nearly all there without major rust holes (in fact mine has only surface rust ) I am intending on fixing it up as a daily driver so aside from the differential (7.39:1 gear set) I am planning on keeping it as close to original as possible.

If your looking for any further parts, I've a unit similar to yours. Although its only a cab and chassis. Looks like it had a grain box on it originally. Still a solid truck, from the kathryn, ab area and sold in calgary.
Really don't want to see it go for scrap, but been sitting near 12 years now, and deserves a better life. I'll let it go for $300.00. And if you need it towed, I can do that to.

Wow I'd love it but right now I don't have room. However I am going to try to figure something out. Give me a couple of days to arrange it.:icon_lol:
 
Perfect, looks like an r 150 sweet. The squirrels are racing in my head as to how to fix that old puppy up. Lol. Does it turn over?

I put a breaker bar on it too try and turn it over, no luck. That's as far as I went. It was for sale on kajijji, have a couple peeps interested. But it's still here and it's gotta go. Don't want to scrap it, but.....
 
I just sent the mo off tonight so it should arrive at your place sometime in the next week or 10 days I hope
now I'm chomping at the bit to get working on it :crazy:
