PLEASE NOTE, THE NEW PAGES ARE IN THE BACK, THE FIRST ONE IS THE BEGINING, THE LAST PAGE IS MOST CURRENT. I WILL ADD NEW PICTURES SOON WITH THE CHEVY FRAME UNDER IT. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
After Looking for a old truck to build, my wife and I ran across this 1954 International Harvester R-100 short-box in field along with 4 other trucks for sale.
My Wife and I have starting to grind body to bare metal, Hammering out dents.
The truck is torn down to the frame rite now, as it will be getting a new IFS and a V8. The body is my main concern rite now, parts for these trucks a few and far. When it is roadworthy, it will start its new life as a rat rod, then down the road it will become a nice hot rod. Untill then it will be flat black primer and red rims with wide whites. check in a few months to see the improvements!

The fenders are banged up alot, and will need alot more work.I have heard that there is a company that makes fiberglass replacements though!! Cross my fingures.

The grill finished and reinstalled for now. Alond with adding the original bumper.

The tailgate needs alot of work also, If not replaced down the road. For now its a rat rod and it fits in just great!
