lightninboy Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 IH often needed a grab handle inside the door so you didn't have to pull the door shut with the latch handle. It has a Brownie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The door handle, Dorman 76992 popped up at RockAuto for R series which this truck is. The window crank is Dorman 76996 but I can't remember how I determined that. Anyway they looked like the originals only more shiny. I think one is plastic but this truck is not an every day runner so should be fine. Thanks for looking.

DR.EVIL Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 O-M-G. Even the inside of that truck looks brand spanking new! Truely excellent work. Now I understand the very bright yellow paint, to draw attention to the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightninboy Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I suppose the 1950s IH would take 1960s inside door handles even if they originally had a different style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New paint is very close in color but shinier than original paint of the 50's. PPG OMNI acrylic enamel. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Corey, I got my mat set with pad from travelallparts.com. but there are others and I think they all come from Repops in Arkansas. Not cheap. Best to do some pricing. You can probably find the same thing on E Bay also. Have fun Dennis http://www.repops.com/contact-us.cfm https://oldinternationaltrucks.com/parts-store/ Pricing here are Canadian so you need to calculate cost. https://travelallparts.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyH Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Big thanks!! I didn’t know about Repops. My searching for “flooring” instead of “mats” may have been the problem. Just pulled the trigger on the flooring, door panels, kick panels, and a felt kit. My seat is at the upholstery shop. I’m stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a Brownie? I had missed your question about the brownie. No brownie. It has a two speed rear with mechanical control linkage. Not sure how common that was but it makes it look like a big truck with all the levers. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More HD suspension and looks in decent shape. What part of the country are you in? Have fun with your project. Hoist looks useful too.
