I own two L-series International pickups, a '51 L-112 and a '52 L-112. As Paul directed you below, the OldIHC.org website has plenty of information on these trucks...including modifications to them, including engine swaps that folks have done over the years.
Mechanical parts are readily available, but reproduction body parts simply don't exist. Restoration Specialties and Class-Tech cars sell just about any weatherstrip you could imagine, and NAPA and CarQuest can usually put their hands on any of the mechanical stuff to keep you running.
One caveat on these Internationals has to do with wheels for the 3/4 ton models. They use a nearly-unique 6 lug on 7-1/4" bolt circle wheel, and replacements are rare...and pricey. Best option there is a place called Stockton Wheel, but lately I've heard horror stories about Stockton making "replacement" wheels for the one-ton duallys that end up having the wrong backspacing and won't fit the trucks...even while having one of the original wheels in their possession. But the half-tons use the more common 5 lug on 4-1/2" bolt circle, and they're not that difficult to find.
