A hood would be easy. A cab is possible. Fenders are impossible. A guy in State College PA parts of an FWD fire truck with an R model cab for sale for $900. The cab is supposed to be pretty nice. Wrong front end though. Let's see pictures of what you are working on. I have several Internationals. Mike.

thanks for the reply mike . i have a 75 1800 loadstar heavy spec tandem with actual 25.400 miles on the chassis still has the orig brake shoes and some of the tires being a 75 cab is rough and has a 446v8 which is in my opnion is useless. i would like to repower thjs thjng with somthjng diesel or an inline gas motor. then transplant an R cab on this frame and hopefully come up with a useable classic .starting to look at the possibilities of whats available and what it would cost as for pics will take some and post

I can occasionally come across these old girls as grain trucks and quite clean. give me a dollar number to work with and I will see what I can do! I will not boost the price, from one iron junkie to another I will do what I can.
