I know this is suppose to be a "tractor talk" board but I don't know where else to go to talk about old pickup trucks. I have always wanted an old pickup, preferably a ford or chevrolet around 1950 but I never would pay what they go for. Now I have run across a 1951 Internatioal which runs and looks to be in good shape and I am strongly considering buying it. It is original with a two tone green paint, short bed with 3-speed on the steering wheel column. Only rusty spot is just above the windshield above the glass. Bumper is missing and a headlight broken. It will smoke a tad when you crank it up but that disappears once it gets running good. I was told that you could never put a V8 in it because of where the steering box is located but I think I would rather keep it original anyway.

I can get this little feller for $1000.00 and I am trying to talk myself into just doing it. What do you think?
