yarnall Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 A hood would be easy. A cab is possible. Fenders are impossible. A guy in State College PA parts of an FWD fire truck with an R model cab for sale for $900. The cab is supposed to be pretty nice. Wrong front end though. Let's see pictures of what you are working on. I have several Internationals. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlotpilot Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 thanks for the reply mike . i have a 75 1800 loadstar heavy spec tandem with actual 25.400 miles on the chassis still has the orig brake shoes and some of the tires being a 75 cab is rough and has a 446v8 which is in my opnion is useless. i would like to repower thjs thjng with somthjng diesel or an inline gas motor. then transplant an R cab on this frame and hopefully come up with a useable classic .starting to look at the possibilities of whats available and what it would cost as for pics will take some and post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I can occasionally come across these old girls as grain trucks and quite clean. give me a dollar number to work with and I will see what I can do! I will not boost the price, from one iron junkie to another I will do what I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
