Internationality...

Hello my friend's awesome readers.
'Tis Cyby, a little late, but at your service.
Thankfully, now that I have a bit of free time, I'm hoping to fire off a few posts here and there.
So, without further ado, vintage tin:

This farm fresh little beaut was literally parked a hundred metres from my house for a couple weeks. Went for a walk and brought my camera along so I could get some shots.

 
 




 I've never seen a split window on a truck before. Pretty trick.



 
I originally thought she was a '47 International L 110, but after some research, she appears to be a '50.







Some rust issues, a badly painted front bumper, and a wasp nest tucked up in the grille, but man, will she be gorgeous when she's done.

Everything inside and underneath appeared to be original, but I doubt the blue is factory. I'm guessing someone repainted her in the '60s-'80s, but then she sat. Apparently in a damp place.

I hope the dude that owns her (I know he's a dude because his registration was sitting on the seat in plain view of the window.) transforms her into something like this:

Well, that is it for me. Peace and chicken grease and I bid you good bricking.

    1. I know, right? I like anything that's 30 years old and older, but by far the '40s to '50s trucks are the best looking.
