International.

I spotted an international which at first glance going 70mph down the road I first thought was a CCKW. My dad and I turned around and went back and noticed that it was an International that has a Water or chemical tank on the back. Unfortunatly I did not get a picture but I think I am going to keep a camera in the truck now being that I ust won another one. The truck looks like it is still in use by the fairly large farm that it is on.

This is the best I can do for a photo. Of course you cant see the truck in detail, but in the line of red equipment, the truck closest to the white building with a white tank on the back and the glare off of it is the one, at least I think it is. http://tinyurl.com/97bfa

The truck is a closed cab and the front end looks exactly like these ones. http://www.cckw.org/international.htm

Of course if they are still using the truck, it is probably not for sale and I am not interested in the Internationals anyway. If I ever get a chance, I will get a better photo of it.

I will look forward to a better photo. The Marines used the Internationals during WWII.

M5H6 parts are super rare, almost non existant. Wheel Cylinders are $225.00 -$275.00 ea for rears, fronts are up there too. No Body parts out there at all. Not a good bet if you want a toy to drive. I have NOS Parts Manuals, and misc body parts, windshield frames for open/closed. Good truck to blow a wad on and never complete. Dept of Navy was major contractor.

Hey Nick,

I have a spare bed. I've driven a M5H6 and they're more like a M-35 or a Diamond T than a CCKW. The brakes can be a nightmare for parts, but if the whole system is complete, you can rebuilt it as easy as a GMC.

Later,

Well,
as I drove to my grandparents for the 4th, we decided to take a detour and take a photo. There was workers by the truck so we couldn't stop to look at it. I took this photo while my dad was driving by slowly. It's not the best but that's all I can do. I can see now that the truck is still in use because it has been moved since the other day.

Well restoration on one still moving under it's own power would definately be easier. If I were you I would stop and ask if you could buy the truck. One might be surprised and walk into a good deal.
