I recall the discussions about that 52 extended cab. I found the original auction record of its sale, then tracked the buyer down and drove to KS and offered to buy it. He wasn’t interested. Below is a pic I took of it with sign in the bed. Stu

Here is the quad cab picture from that post in 2011. If I recall correctly we had discussions on this truck. There were a handful of these made, I think. Possibly factory built or for the railroad?



EDIT: I did a quick reverse image search and didn't find what I was looking for, but I did find this:

It's not in English but you don't need the words to admire the pictures. The Ranger is amazing! Just about all the pictures are 51-52 trucks.
Oh....there are more pages to that thread. Well worth the look.
What does the door art say? I can make out "Hutchinson, Kan." I can't read the top part of the sign.

From an old YouTube video by IH of bulldozers destroying forests in Australia so they can raise sheep and cattle.

I was deleting pictures from my phone and I came across this 56 crew cab with the stock grille guard. I don't know where I got it or how long I've had it . I'm not sure if it was discussed here before

​​​​​​It'd be neat to have. I can't read the sign on the door except for the word "Construction."
