Slick 60's

hey I just got a 1958 international pick up,, for one beer!! it is a short bed
stepside model,, it has butt ugly army green paint, split rear window,, I just have to get my tail out ther and pick her up,,she is a nice truck, to bad she aint a ford though, she has been sittin on a farm since the earth was born and the owner want her gone,, I found this out chattin with his son at the local pub,, simple question,, (me) what year is that ol truck??)
(him) its a 1958, why do you want it,,) (me) sure how much?)(him) if you want it buy me a beer, we'll call it even.) sweet deal I'd say,, I'll get some pics soon, It still ain't as preety as my uni though, I'll use it to practice my painting skillz, that way the uni won't have to pay the price. lol

post some pics

I'm really not a purist to any one brand, I can appreciate a lot of different makes and models. Theres a lot of older chevys, plymouths, dodges, packards (list goes on and on) that I really do like.

About the only thing I dont like is a Chevy engine in a ford. I am soooooo sick of "lets stick a 350 in 'er!! woohoo!" thinking.

Internationals are cool in a "not everyone has them" sense.

the twin rear window thing is cool. seen one of them in a movie on sci fi channel

Good deal. Nothing wrong with an old Cornbinder. My Grandpa and my uncle used them excusively. My uncle drove them so his kids would not want to take it to town! LOL Worked too.
I always wanted chip foose to do an international, he could make so many Ugly GMs look good he could surely have done amazing things with an International.

check this >LINK<
They can come out pretty nice just don't pick a chebby to swap on to LOL

it seems me and mr. one beer salesman were wrong on the year, after lookin at Johnny's link I researched the year and it turns out that she is a 1952 harvester L.120 model there is a red one on e-bay that looks exactly like the one I got, soon as I get some pics I'll post and let ya fellas know

Jeff,
Put a lot of miles in a 1951 Binder up in your area as I was growing up. As I remember, wasn;t a bad ride.
Fred

my first truck was a 62 short box i love them ugly ol bastiches

We're not going to tar and feather you.......but....., oh God, its an IH..... and its sooooooo damn ugly.
I can hear it now. "Hi guys, it followed me home. Can I keep it. I promise to feed it and clean up after it. Pleeeease? Can I keep it and stay with the group?"
O.K. A man has to do what a man has to do.
Just don't ask any technical "Corn Binder" questions here. We (collectively) don't have a freaking clue.
ROTFLMAO
U@ss

I love CornBinders!
Heres a lil truk I built.
I got the cab for free then got a buncha part for FA.
Built my own chassis and threw some parts at.
We called it "the Bindup"
