It is a 1958 International BD-264 motor, 158hp. (The first non-diamond motor) 3 in the tree transmittion.
I used International #2150 red. Bought it at RedHead.
I have now owned the truck for 10 years.

Straight or acrylic enamel?
It sounds like pretty soon some of the paint from auto body supply places maybe restricted some what and harder to buy.

I recall being in a salvage yard in Wpg., about 8-10 years ago and there was a '74 (know, because it was written on the Paper/Work on the dash) 3/4 ton IH ...sort of a flareside bed, with a 4 speed, 345 IH V8, 4 wd...body seemed to be in fair shape, some rust. It was the last generation of IH pickups...the square look.
An IH fan would of thought he had died and gone to heaven with a find like this.

International powertrains I think were always the best, but the steering, brakes, doors, lights, and accessories always were behind the times and ultimatly caused their dismize. (the 392,345,304, 264 were the popular motors they produced good power and were build extremely well.)
Its just a straight enamel paint I used.
I better end this thread by saying I like Fords. lol there are very few International years I like (1956-1961) The rest I found extremely ugly, but I wouldnt mind using that 1974 powertrain.

i like the scout, looks similar to some bronco years. this truck of ryans looks cool for a Non-ford though i'd probably find some way to be proud of it if it were mine.
Ryan, i should get you pics of a local international enthusiasts 53 International 1/2 ton. a beauty of a restoration, but it has a boat anchor for powertrain...

(the 392,345,304, 264 were the popular motors they produced good power and were build extremely well.)I used to drive city delivery trucks (mostly Fords) about 30 odd years ago and I was impressed with IH's back then. In those days most of the medium duty and smaller trucks were gassers and the IH's always had a fine rep. I understand that the IH V8 family (all the same block, whether a 266 or a 392) had high nickel content in the block to improve their endurance.
My former FIL also used an early '50's IH (6 cylinder-before the V8's came out) as a grain truck and I drove it quite a bit. I liked it, very rugged, never broke down.
Its just a straight enamel paint I used.

Thanks for all the compliments
I like the way the box turned out to, compared to what it used to be atleast.
I was a little questionable about something that came in a aerosal but I think all my trucks are going to have that for a undercoating.
