1953 International R-120 build !

[DILLIGAF]

I dont have 15K to waste on a professional paint job, so the choice is easy

 

[DILLIGAF]

Started the old girl today. it's in good company.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Just ordered some new goodies . Cant believe I actually forgot to do this during the rebuild.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Almost time to take the 53 out of hibernation.

One thing I hated last year was the braking, So picked this up today

 

[DILLIGAF]

Decided to go get the 53 today, made a 26 mi before the whole thing shut down. Lost the alternator already.

If he offered 16,he'll probably go to 20

Hell probably resell it for 20K its Rod's Hotrods, Customs and Sales, Inc.

But Selling to a wholesaler, as is were is, is pretty sweet.

I rather deal with those guys anyways.

Did you ever keep tabs on what you have into it ?

That would've required a functioning brain. Im pretty sure im not loosing money at 16K. But who knows

Dont worry, the money will get vacuumed up buy the DT360 parts im ordering.

The 53 is officially sold. I lost the pitman arm bolt on the way to the meetup. I got to lay off those edibles when I work on suspension.

[DILLIGAF]

A little heat and a vise and it'll be good as new,lol. I pretzelled one on our old 3 ton Fargo when i was about 16, with 300 bushels of barley in the box when a front tire blew going downhill at about 65 mph,talk about a wild ride through both ditches and about 4 feet of snow,hammer down and the old girl chewed herself back up onto the road.No cell phones back then,and it was a little over a 3 mile walk to the nearest farm,at -30 to phone Dad.He brought the torch over and heated it up and we straightened it out with-out even taking it off the old Fargo,threw another tire and rim on it,and it was driving on that straightened out tie-rod when he sold the truck about 15 years later,lol

I bent the one on my 1956 Chevy 1/2 ton
someone had a a section of angle iron
banged the tie rod almost straight
walked into a nearby motorcycle shop, a bit of quick welding & i made it to my favorite wrecking yard
