Why is that you don't see alot of internationals rat rodded? Is it a parts issue or are they just not as desireable? I have found quite a few in past couple of weeks ranging from 1939 to 1949. I would sure like to see alot more photos of internationals if I could to see if I would like to rat a pickup like this, does anyone know where I can see any of these?
Thanks
 
You would be surprised at how many are out there actually! With all the other "popular" makes getting bought up they are fair game for a rat rod. They turn out pretty cool too! there have been a lot posted on here in the past. Nothing wrong with them. I've actially had my eye on a 48 International for a long time now. It could be so cool if I just had the cash to spare for it. Here's a 40 from not far from me.

Actually I have seen quite a few pre-war binders rodded, they have great lines and a very cool grille. The KBs (40s era) are fine looking trucks too but look best left fendered IMO. Lots of KBs around this area.

Here is a KB we did last year. Very solid trucks, double wall cabs. Only drawback is they are heavy, quite a bit heavier than the Dodge, Ford or Chevy of the same years. There are a ton of KB's out there shouldnt have too many problems finding parts. Ours is the gold one. I also included some other KB pictures I have gathered over the internet.

I think those trucks look great rodded , chopping the top adds a special touch .I like the way the side windows look after a chop ( the window frame is fat looking ) . I say if you get one go all out !
 
Here's mine... 1946 on 37 ford frame. I really like the way these trucks look, but they are HEAVY. I could at least lift my 37 cab off the ground by myself... the International takes at least 2 to 4 people depending on if the doors are off of it. I've found a guy who has a few more here but he won't sell anything.

I've seen that black and gold KB with the dice on the doors several times up close. A seriously cool truck!
