Fleek Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Looks like a solid truck. What kind of info are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir R Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Base model L170 but this one L176? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Looks like a solid truck. What kind of info are you looking for? The L 170 shown a GVW of 16,000lb. Yours shows 19,000 lb so it is made to haul a larger load than the 170. I do not know what the difference is but I would guess supension. There were lots of models of the 170 series made as International made many configurations for many purposes. It is also Canadian so rhat may make a difference also. It should be a 1949 to 1951 It shows to have the 269 engine which was the larger of the engines offered the Edited December 7, 2020 by Fleek (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir R Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) The previous owner told me his father who bought it at a state auction ( provincial-Canada) 15 yrs ago and it used to be a type of firetruck? If what you guys are saying is that it heavier suspension and bigger motor that would make sense probably some sort of pumper truck?

Fleek Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Fire truck is a possibility. Do you have a picture of the back of the cab? It is hard to tell from the pic. but it looks like it may not be the standard way they were built. That would be a clue possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir R Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately no and it's been tucked away for the winter so it's kind of all I got at the moment I bought it sight unseen.
