Fleek Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 from what I can find out, I believe it is a 1960-1962> The picture of the METRO tag in your gallery shows it to be an AM series. Here is some info on Metros. Pinning down the year is not easy. The speedometer looks to be a sixties style also.

Fleek Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Had some time to do some more research. There are some other things that point to it being a later model. In 48 they were still using flathead engines, and this van has an overhead valve engine. Could have been updated at some point. Also the grille and parking lights are the newer style. Round lights instead of rectangle and the grille has the two wide bars in the middle where the older modles had small bars all the way. Hope this helps narrow down the year.

Guest Montecito Dog Trainer Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know where there is one for sale? I am looking to buy one. Body as complete as possible but I don't intend to run it on the original motor. Love love the one in this picture. How much did you get for it?

R Walling Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I am looking for shocks for a 58 Metro and I can't find a listing anywhere for them. Does anyone know where I could find a set? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpneroz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I found a very nice pair of IH Metro rear doors at an old yard in PA. They have rust but considering how old they are the rust out is minimal. The remains of the business name are still on the lower part of the doors. I believe it was a laundry service truck. The upper hinges still work and the door latch mechanism is still in place. The truck also has both side rub rails intact on the body as well. I posted pics if someone is interested let me know. I know that the driver side rear door has a small hole in the very bottom. From memory I believe the passenger side rear door has no holes. I have seen these with the doors rotted completely off at the bottom these are far better than that. I could get more pics and I would have to remove them if someone wants them.

carfanatic Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Hi These IH metro refuelling trucks were based at an airport in Ireland. The truck with black tyres has International A150 script. What year are these magnificent machines ? Any more info on what models they are ? Any idea if they would have arrived fully built from US ? Or perhaps just a cab front on chassis from US & remainder coachbuilt in Ireland or UK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely sold as "cab" and chassis, although the cab wasn't what we typically of as a complete cab. More like a cowl and chassis. Body would have been built locally in country.
