To IHC Pickups, I am writing to you because I am attracted to your user name: "IHC PICK UPS." I am the proud owner of a '56 IHC pick up. It has a 240 6 engine and a 4 speed transmission. It is in excellent mechanical condition and fair to poor body condition. It is in storage in doors in a pole barn. I haven't driven it for probably 15 years, but I'm sure it would start and run easily. I haven't had time to work on it because I have been too busy working on my tractors. I am torn about what kind of restoration I might do. In other words should I restore to original condition or should I put a modern engine and drive train in it. If I restored it to original, I would like to change the gear ratio in the differential. It is really slow in its present ratio. I could use some help in learning how to change the gear ratio. What have you done on your pick ups and why? I grew up on a farm in Nebraska and our neighbor had a '56 IHC and the son in that family who was 1 year younger than me drove it to school, etc. Theirs was red. Mine is baby blue.
I hope that my "off-topic" response does not break any rule or offend you.
