OldIHC

Hello yall this is Vic from Houston, Tx. humbly introducing my 1949 International L110 (that's what the previous owner claimed it was anyway, and thats how its registered). I acquired her as a trade back in 2011 and have driven her not as much as I would like frankly because of the old technology, i.e manual drum brakes, no ac, manual steering which I believe is so cool but not for a daily driver!
Apparently it was somewhat restored a while back. It has the sd220, 3ontree, looks like original diff as well and yes they all leak.
The interior was carpeted with that grey speaker carpet with no heat/sound insulation below it. The seat is in very good restored shape. Overall its a very decent truck but want to make some upgrades like suspension, ac, and electric steering. I just replaced the carb and cleaned/sealed rusty fuel tank. Gave up on the flimsy original gas pedal linkage and modified a cable linkage and love it so much better!!
Just took it out for a test drive last night around the subdivision after almost 2 1/2 years when Hurricane Harvey flooded her! She did so well. Idles smooth, picked up nicely, brakes grab really good almost too good. Locked up tires when braking quickly. I did replaced a leaky wheel cylinder as well.
Anyways I joined this forum in 2012 then it got hacked and I just didnt come back until now.
Im glad I did cuz it has grown with invaluable info so much. See yall around... and we all love pics so here's some

Welcome back, Vic!

Your truck appears to be an early L series, as you were told, since they were the only ones to have hidden door hinges.

Good looking truck! Mods to make it more driveable and used more are a good thing.

I really like your throttle pedal fix. The OEM throttle linkage was not well designed and caused the truck to "gallop", in lower gears.
I am using the same pedal assembly in my 1940 Ford.

Thank you very much Mr Dean!

Yea, I tried to improve the original linkage and wasted $50 then just bit the bullet and modified this cable linkage. Im glad I did.

Awesome truck, love the wheels. Also i like the way you converted the gas pedal linkage.....nice. Luke

Thanks

Nice! Thanks
