Hello, Looks like L series International anywhere from late 1949 to 1952. Frame or ID tag number can narrow that down. Very cool truck.
Lots of good people with lots of IHC knowledge on this site.
Good luck with your quest. Don

Look on the drivers side frame rail, around the front spring shackle. The number was not stamped very deep and may be covered with grime/oil/paint. Is there a Data plate on the side kick panel Drivers side in front of the door? I have also seen them fastened to the door edge on the drivers side. It is an L series truck from either the year 1951 or 1952. There is a small emblem on the side of the cowl, it should either be L110 or L120. The Data tag will tell you whether it is a beefed up L110 or L120. You can also look at the spring pack on the back, if it consists of one pack of around 7-8 spring leafs it would be the "lighter" truck of the series(L110-L120) If it has an other set of spring leafs on top of the other set, it will be the "heavier" model of the series(L112-L122) It should have an SD220 6cyl motor and probably a 4 speed T98 transmission, Floor shift or a 3 speed column shift. it is a long bed.
Hope this has helped.

I wish I had a L series pickup when I was 22. Don

You are welcome to post pictures of your other vehicles, some of us have different "brands" besides International!
The White one beside it looks it is probably an R model 1953-1955 :yay:

Hey, this is fun! It's like a test.
I'll go first
Top picture is Mopar Chrysler, Dodge, Dedoto. Early 1950s?
Middle pic is late 40s GMC.
Bottom pic is late 40s early 50s Chevy truck next to white early 60s Ford Econline van or pickup.
