As long as we don't get too much rain this weekend I will finally be going to get a 1953 International Harvester R-112 truck from my great grandmothers farm. 220 ci silver diamond engine with 100 hp. 4 speed on the floor. This truck has sat for 35 years in a corn crib. I am somewhat mechanically inclined but getting this thing back on the road will certainly be a challenge. My hopes are for 3 years.
I don't want to get crazy with this restoration but just try to get it running and roadworthy. What do you thing the likely things will be that need replaced or worked on?
I'm already planning on brakes and lines, fuel tank flush and fuel lines, new electrical (hopefully not but likely), tires, new carb or rebuild, all new fluids, radiator flush, exhaust, belts, hoses, battery, plugs, wires, cleanup distributor. I haven't gotten a chance to dive in to it yet but I'm assuming the engine may be stuck. I will let it soak and hopefully be able to break it loose and use it.
So what am I missing? What else will likely need replaced with a job like this?
