Xander Wildeisen Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 That grill/shell is hot rod gold. I can not speak for the restoration side of the world, as to what it is worth for a restoration. My guess is just as much. 32 Fords are it, when it comes to hot rods. Stuff like that is best to let the market decide. Indaina Jones will sneak in there and swap that out for a bag of sand when you are not looking. Take that back home to OR with you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Repro shells and grills are $300 or so. Really nice Originals bring over $1000. If it were mine, I'd ask a minimum of 1200.....I'm no expert, though, so use your own judgement....one shell recently sold for about 2500, but it was a rare early one, not like yours.... good luck with selling everything.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Your yellow wheels are not early truck. Way too light duty. Probably some sort of small walk behind garden tractor. Greg in Canada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) If I had to guess I would say early post war to early 1960's. Small scale farming , and big home gardens were popular in this era. Many small tractors were on the market.

They definitely look post war and non-automotive to me. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Wood spoked wheels were gone for the most part by the mid 30's. If you look at the truck which I believe is a 1917 International Model F and the wheels they both have 10 bolts to hold the tire to the wheel. I say that is a match.

Hi Larry, the wheels on the pictured International look like Firestone truck series rims. They are almost always 24" rims. They always have at least one removable side ring, in order to mount and dismount the tire. And the bolts you see are for the rim clamps that put pressure on the outer wedge ring that in turn holds the rim on to the fellow band. The truck rims are quite heavy duty, even on a realitively small truck like this International. They are very similar in concept to Firestone type A and type B wheel hardware for teens automobiles , just a heavier duty version.

They are making reproductions of the truck shells, note the weld repairs on the bars at the bottom. It won't bring stupid money. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
