Classic/Antique Car Repair: IH 1952 pickup truck 1/2T, hemmings motor news, mechanical restoration

Question

International I have above vehicle in good shape, what is the value and do you have recommendations for mechanical restoration. Live in Southwest Missouri/Northwest Arkansas.
Thanking you in advance.

Answer
Hello Marvin,

I'm not sure exactly what you have because IH had several different series 1/2 tons in 1952. But, in general, these are desireable candidates for restoration and have had a resurgence in popularity of late---probably because folks are tired of all the Chevys and Fords you normally see from this era.

Valuation for a good average truck according to NADA is about $10K, less or more according to condition. The best way to get started is to join a vintage truck club, one that either covers all makes or, if you're in a major metro area, an International owners club. Check Hemmings Motor News "Trucks" section for club information.

Nice truck!

Good luck,

Bob
