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.

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.

They can come out pretty nice just don't pick a chebby to swap on to LOL

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.

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. :roll:

ROTFLMAO
U@ss
