Picking this up this Wednesday. Super excited. You don't find many all together and it runs, not well but it runs. 1936 International C1. Parts are hard to find and expensive. Why do I do this. I will be needing parts I'm sure. One thing I need is a 1936 Washington State truck plate if you have one or know anyone I would be interested.
OOOH, I like those binders, they look better style-wise than other makes of trucks in those years. good luck with it, any plans yet? ..here's a younger IH that I started but is for sale as a roller. you don't see that many IH's but more pop up every now and then as other more popular stuff gets hard to find or too costly.
Agree. Those IH trucks are really nice looking. You see them pop up on kijiji here in Canada once in while from out west where they are mostly rust free.
I want to keep the patina. Switch 6 to 12v, probably clean up cab, get it running right. Needs some body work. He has a set of artillery wheels he said he switch for the wire wheels if I wanted.
Looks like a good starting point, and should be a fun project. Here's another C1 project: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1934-1936-international-c-1-build.292230/
Please hit the full size for your pics. There was a '38 came to the wrecking yard I worked at years ago, pretty complete, but sitting for decades. They got 3 grand for it in back in '04.
Super Sweet. You do this 'cause you must. Each time I've seen one the memory stays and stays When done you'll be KING of the ROAD
That is about what a friend of mine started with when he built his 30 years ago. As for 36 truck plate check with the guy who restores plates right there in Yakima. I see him at the Yakima swapmeet every year and he runs an add on FB marketplace most of the time. He has been selling YOM plates as long as I can remember and correctly restores them. I'd agree with the concept of sitting down and writing and drawing out a plan for the build. I'm guilty and know too many others who either don't have a plan or change horses in the middle of the stream so many times that their feet never dry out long enough to get anything done. You have to have a plan laid out. You also have to have a build theme down that you follow and keep the build on track so it doesn't look like some of the mix mash of build theme things running around that obviously never followed a theme. You are on the HAMB so you just saved the money one would spend on big ugly billet wheels and goofy tires. On early pickups simple rules, they don't need frigging frufru added on except maybe some nice varnished wood low profile side racks if that is something you like. I'm not a "patina" fan thinking that most of the time it is a fancy excuse for being lazy but I would rather see a rod with a very well built chassis and solid under the skin body running the patina look than some torn down to the last bolt project that languishes in the garage or shoved out of the garage because nothing gets done and the builder is overwhelmed.
Ya lucky lucky Fawker - nice score - I’m jealous - but happy for you - kindly keep us posted on your progress
Zigs , That’s a good looking truck to be starting on . My favorite part is your avatar,,,and the fact you are a Mopar Man ! Tommy
Man, that is a nice one. Probably won't park by too many of them at the hot rod show, except for the one that Blue Moon just posted... -Abone.
Not my first rodeo. I've been building and flipping cars for around 40 yrs , mostly mopar. I came from an International family always liked them. Cousin owns Okanogan truck and tractor International Case. Been in the family around 70 years. I like the patina but will work out dents and do what I said in my first introduction. More interested in getting it to run and function first. As far as the guy in Yakima he sold the only 36 truck plate he had . Theres another guy over in Marysville also.
I should mention that the guy selling me the 36 has a complete 35 with seized engine he wants to sell. I'll take pictures of it when I pick mine up.
I expect the artillery wheels have a better chance of being “true” and useable, but hard to beat the look of the wires. Nice project.
Very cool . Last year of wooden frame work in the cab and doors . Maybe a hopped up 6 banger for power.
