I know this doesn't belong in this section but I am guessing this will get a little more traffic. I have a ih 1210. I am looking for interior and exterior parts. Literally the entire interior, and then some body panels and trim. If you happen to have anything, pm me on here and I will get back to you. Can't exactly derby it since it has a 3/8 plate welded to each side of the frame from the firewall to the rear leaf spring.

What do you do about the rear frame horns since they are shorter then the box?

most stock IH bumpers that i have seen sit about flush with the floor end of the bed, this way the tail gate can drop straight down... a ford bed comes to the end (80s)

I have a 66 2wd 1/2 ton International to expand my derbying career to pickups. I wondered what tips are out there for this truck, i understand that it is a good one but i would like to nip the weak points while i can. Thanks for any help guys.

Just wondering if this truck is worth derbying, The guy has it listed as a 60's 3/4 IH. But when comparing pictures it looks like a 57. Is that correct? and is it worth running? thanks Zilla

It's 50s, not exactly why year off the top of my head however, if you can get some frame pictures I'll compare to the 60s and 70s I have on hand

I am gonna be going to look at it here next week sometime, i have never ran a truck, but from talking to a freind that has he said I want as straight of frame as i can get. Is there anything else to look for on IH's to tell if it will be a good frame or not?
Thanks Zilla

Look at the frame under the rad, the rear spring hangers and the front body bolt area usually . However the body bolts you may not see even if they are rusty there, if it is just put a bigger washer.
Get a picture of the "a-arms forward" of the frame top bottom sides and front and I'll see what I can find out from my collection. At the cab on the 60-70s it dips down, don't be scared of it
