1956, 450 red diamond, 5-speed, 2-speed rear, a bit rough but not butchered up or modified, more or less everything is there.

Anybody interested?

Is it a gas job?

Yeah it's an international harvester 450 red diamond gasoline. I think they were in around 160 170 horsepower then . Big power in 1956

Diamond t was buying engines and tabs from international harvester back then . Same cab as on like a r190 international, just a bit of extra trim when they put it on the diamond t diamond tea was like the fancy truck

10:00-20 tube type bias supplies on split rims. They're probably 40 years old. The truck probably never went farther than about half a mile to the junkyard maybe once a week since 1977. It's been sitting at least 6 years. I probably have tubeless radials that are decent for it somewhere here in my empire of obsolete crap.

Yeah I've done my share of bouncing around too. The first dump truck I owned was a r 210 international harvester 10-wheel dump with a 5-speed and a 3-speed brownie behind it. Probably the worst bouncing around I did was running a big auto car 318 Detroit 13-speed double over with a two-speed tandem on that Hendrickson suspension that was just mounted on rubber blocks, no springs whatsoever.

We moved that Concord coal, booty beltrami dragline that disappeared from Penn terminal to hazleton with a bunch of them. 122 truckloads it talk to move it almost all of them oversized and overweight with permits and state police escort

I worked for this company, McHugh Brothers when I was in my twenties. We did some wild chit. That's a Klein off-road dump that they converted into a tractor and a thrombosis trailer. The thrombosis was all modular you could assemble it all kinds of crazy ways and all the wheels steered
