Yes, the wheels do look like they could be from an International. It is interesting that they fit. Are you sure that the engine is a six cylinder? I rather doubt it. By the time Federal began to install six cylinder engines in small capacity trucks they had already changed the sheet metal styling completely. If you could provide the serial number it would save a lot of guessing.

Great truck, I think you should buy it. It looks older than 1923 to me, but it's hard to say. It is not a model WL. The WL was a 4 ton truck, and your floor indicates that this truck has a 1-1/2 ton capacity. 1-1/2 ton Federal trucks from around 1919 to 1923 usually have model numbers beginning with "s". Do you know what engine it has, or if the transmission is mounted in unit with the engine, or amidship? The radiator tanks appear to be aluminum, which is not something I have seen before. They are usually steel. The dash board does not look like the usual Federal dash, perhaps it was supplied with the fire equipment. It's in very nice condition. Good Luck.

1wonton, your brake booster looks very much like many common air chambers used on heavy trucks for everything from brake applications to tailgate releases on dump trucks. I am sure that you can find a complete replacement if not a diaphragm, but those are available also. I don't know what the difference would be between vacuum and air, but I am sure there must be something in the big truck world that could help you out. Google air brake chamber and take a look.

Thank you all. I was asking for a friend, he will be glad to know.

Thank you. The Mercer sure looks like a match. I was asking for a friend, he will be pleased. Steve

Please identify this car. Thanks.

Please identify Syd Chaplin's car. He was an actor, and half brother of Charlie Chaplin. Thanks.

A three quarter ton WD would have been built with a full floating rear axle. As TerryB noted, the pictured truck has a different rear axle, not original. It is a semi floating type, probably installed to get a little more road speed. My guess is that the truck will sell in the $2000 to $4000 price range. Good luck.

I do not know what the old truck market is like in Washington, but in the northeast part of the county an asking price of around $1500 would be a good place to start. The auxiliary transmission is a big plus to truck people. ( by the way, it has 24 speeds) Good luck with it.

The Antique Truck Club of America (ATCA) National Meet will be held in Macungie PA June 14&15 2024. It will be the 42nd year at that location. The truck show in York, PA is part of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) annual convention. It will be held June 6-8, 2024. the ATHS convention rotates to different locations each year.

Sent you a PM.

Your door latches are for a B model Mack truck, 1953-1966.

The truck is not an International. I believe it is a REO Speedwagon form about 1930.

I have gone through the court to obtain a title here in PA at least a dozen times. I did not use a lawyer. The process is time consuming, but it is not difficult. Basically you are challenging PennDOT to prove in court that you do not own the vehicle. They will offer to cooperate with you if you agree to follow their procedure. Eventually you will state your case before the judge, and unless someone in the courtroom raises an objection, the judge will issue an order identifying you as the owner of the vehicle. That court order is then submitted to PennDOT with an MV-41 application for title, and eventually you will get your title. There is a bit more involved, but that is the general process. It works.

It looks like a GMC to me.
