I like your thinking. I do have a 2 stroke 6v92TA Detroit/RoadRanger and a Freightliner Chassis (mid size Freightliner Bus/RV chassis) 22.5 rims. It was headed for a different project but that was before I found this sleeper cab White. Detroit in the hauler and 5.9 12 valve Cummins for the...

Here is the regular cab. Well crap about the time I think I've figured out posting pictures on this damn I phone it's turned.

Picked up a couple of old White Super Power cabs this weekend. The pictured one is a sleeper cab. Pretty straight old truck. The Whites have a low cab profile. The second truck is a regular cab truck. Thinking on what I want to do with the sleeper cab. Seller had 5 White cabs all pulled off the...

That's the truck, thanks. Found a set of axles today.

Sorry guys, recently went from a PC to iPhone and can barely post on it. I will get a grandkid to school me on how to link. Found a online wheel catalog today that answered my question. I did not realize you can still buy a 19.5 Budd style wheel with 8 handholds. If a moderator will delete this...

There is a truck on the web I like the Budd wheels am trying to figure out the axles. If you google Hatchery Rat Rod there are pictures and a really cool video of the truck. The builder kept the parallel springs on the front and rear. Wheels look like 19.5's are 8 lug with 8 hand holds. I would...

Looks like a RDFC, a LCD or a RDC Emeryville according to the International Book I have. The sleeper extension on the back of the cab is a pretty rare option. In the early to mid 50's International sent the trucks to the Orville Metal Specialty Company in Orville Ohio where the sleeper was...

6V92TA or 8V92TA Detroit with marine exhaust manifolds. Will try to get a picture up. In the smaller class a inline six 292 Chevy stovebolt with 2 carbs and headers.

My plans changed on the 5.9 build. I ended up putting a 50 International L110 cab on the 89 Dodge Cummins chassis. 5.9 Cummins fit really well under the 50 International cab. For my next truck I have picked up a 6v92TA Detroit and a 2001 M55 Freightliner bus chassis. Air brakes, air suspension...

Here is another, could not get 2 in the last post. This is what I started with. I think it really depends on how much oxidation the paint has.

Really kind of hate to put a picture of my '50 International 5.9 Cummins up after the canned ham picture, but if I can get a picture posted here it is. I think to polish or leave as is depends on the finish you have. My truck had mostly faded heavy oxidized paint so I elected to polish. Had it...

Get a notebook. Break the build down and write down each part,task or component of the build as a separate page. Try to list in the order of the build. Does not have to be super accurate or descriptive. Each page becomes a step or goal to accomplish. You read about a tip on something go to that...

If the looks of an IFS front end does not scare you have you thought about getting a complete late 40's early 50's pickup and picking up a running mid 90's Dakota or S-10 with a close to matching wheelbase and putting the old truck body or cab on the running driving stopping chassis? Lots of...

Any updates on your claim with Allstate? I had a major issue with them several years ago. My son was hit by a driver with Allstate Insurance. The other driver was ticketed by the police failure to yield with accident. He pulled out in front of my son from a side road and my son T boned him...

I read your build thread, great looking truck you have. I read how you did your rear axle and that is a possibility. Not trying to lecture or preach here but since the older larger truck rims has come up in this thread here goes;) Nothing really wrong with the older truck rims with the...
