Reviving & Rewiring a 1956 International Truck

This wonderful old truck is a 1956 International S-120. It was a project I took on for fun a while back.

I bought it in barely-running condition and brought it back to life, not with a cosmetic restoration but rather, a mechanical revival.

In doing so, I drained and flushed all the fluids, replaced the brakes and driveline seals, repaired window seals, welded and repaired body panels, rebuilt the head of the BD-240 engine, and rewired the whole truck, taking it from 6 to 12 volt.
