1959 International 4x4 shorty

Pics of my field find in Vancouver WA. 59 4x4 Shorty
Going to try and fit a 6BT cummins in there? Any thoughts?

This is a 16 passenger, last used as military transport, possibly from Canada. It has power steering and vacuum assist brakes. 392 International V8.

That'll be a cool bus once done.... I hope you keep posting pictures as you go, I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Might wanna do a replacement wheel setup with modern wheels.

Neat bus. Surprised it has a 392 in it, not original then? The 6BT would be a good choice, will need to cut the firewall and make a doghouse. That is not a big deal though. Interesting rims, they do not look like split rims, have they been modified? or are they split in the middle rather then a lock ring on the side? The ones that are split in the middle are a real pain to work with. I would not keep that type except for a restoration.

That's gonna be cool. I mean, it's cool already, but it'll be even cooler once converted. Is the International engine worn out?
