This is an IH cab over 190 . It is under a 14 foot Omaha grain bed right now. It is a single axle truck. The truck is an old fire truck. It has a 345 and a Alison Automatic in it. It only has 13,000 miles on it.
I have some pictures on my phone but I can't them to down load. It is the same cab as the one I found on the Internet

The truck is in great shape. I may just buy it for the heck of it. The bed is the same as new. They are not asking much more than a gravity box would cost.

Any body know much about these trucks???

Judging from the door handle, grille, badge & roof top lights, probably early 70s model. Drove one for a while that was a bit older, tractor set up. Brute force & ignorance, although a 345 seems a bit small for a 190. Ours was a 501 cu in 6 cyl. Handy in tight spaces, turned so short could reach out window & touch side of trailer.

Very common back east in city P+D.The city of Baltimore used to own hundreds of them for garbage packers.Never saw a small IH V-8 in one,they all had the Red Diamond 6,or the V-478/549.
 
Definitely would be a neat show/toy, if you didn't expect much work from it.
I have a 1979(first year for the "S" series I think) S1700 single axle dump for occasional farm use. It has low miles, 345 V8 and 4x2 speed drive train. It is gutless and prone to blown exhaust manifold gaskets. I am told by those who drove them when new, that they started out that way!
 
it was a reasonably common inner city vocational truck, the gravel pit has one of these that is a small cement truck, with the mixer having its own engine, last used in the very early '80's to mix mud for adobe bricks, dont think its has been started since
 
I owened one of these old gals back in the late 60's and it was a 1958. The one I had was triple framed the full lenght with a RD 450 gas engine with an 8 speed Roadranger and air clutch and brakes. It was a single axle and it scaled in at 13,300 lbs. empty.
 
Sorry, I dont know much about them other then I've seen them before at truck auctions (used to be a used truck dealer) AND BUYERS SHYED AWAY FROM THEM AND THEY DIDNT BRING A LOT OF MONEY as compared to most other trucks.

HOWEVER hey its your money and if you like it and want to buy it I say GO FOR IT. Whats the worse that could happen right??

Good luck with it if you purchase..

I looked at one of those back in the middle 70's. I think it was about a '72 model, tandem with 18' grain bed, RD450 and 5x2. I asked the seller if I could take it for a test drive. He said no, he had just washed it and didn't want it to get dirty again. That pretty much ended negotiations on the spot.
 
Diamond T, which had been purchasing the "Comfo-Vision" cabs from IH, developed this COE cab in the early/mid 1950's. While it was a Diamond T design, it was used on Internationals from about 1954 through about the mid 1960's. With a six-cylinder engine, it was the CO series; when it got the IH LV engine [up to and including the V-549 behemoth], it was called the VCO series.
 
I had a '67 International 190 Fire Truck that went to Iowa to a collector after I sold it about 2007. The cab looked just like that, and it had a 549 gas motor with a 5+2 transmission/rear end. Pump was run off the transmission. Flip a switch wich made the ruck stationary, put the transmission in 5th gear, and it would pump water like crazy. Fun truck to drive and built like a tank.
 
IF it has 345 it has been repowered by someone.
Only v8 was the 487 and 549. Have seen a few that someone took schoolbus drive train like a 466 in line 6 and made a pretty nice show truck.
 
When I was a kid, are garbage man drove that model.

Right now on TV is the 1960 version of Ocean's Eleven staring Frank Sanatra, Dean Martin, and the rest of the Rat Pack. They cut the light on the Vegas strip at the sound of New Years and robbed all of the then famous casinos, hiding the loot outside in garbage cans. While the police were frisking everyone in the world, setting up road blocks because 11 casinos got robbed blind in the dark of night, no electricity, Sammy Davis Jr. was driving a trash truck picking up certain marked trash cans at the casinos. Guess what model IH trash truck he was driving? Yep, same model you have there, bright yellow right through all of the road blocks because the cops didn't want to be bothered by a that model of IH trash truck. Movie is still on, have no idea how it turns out. Never seen Oceans Eleven, any version, and this 1960 version has a lot of stars in it, including Ceasar Ramero (original Joker).

if your loooking at the truck you can probably have it cheap, but be advised this thing aint nice its used up, it was used as a stationary mix truck, and that was 30 years ago
 
i have been looking at my old wheels of time magazines, and these along with the white 3000 series seem to have also been a common innercity road tractor too , i was actually looking for a picture of another body style to prove its existance to a buddy, i have seen pictures of it and finally found a couple, a snubnose gmc tractor with intregal sleeper from the 50's ford also made them, but these old ih's were in many fleet pictures too, they may not bring a lot of money, but they'll do the job
