Time to clean out the barn. This was an IHC truck used as a water tanker for my grandfather's construction business in the 50 and 60's. In the 70's it was used around the farm to occasionally haul water for cows during dry spells. Circa 1987-ish my father tried to restore it for use for hauling alfalfa hay, but after a month or so of tinkering on it he decided on a modern truck for that task. He did strip the paint off and prime it, and it has been sheltered for the past 25 years. About 13 years ago it was towed a 1/4 mile and my father let the engine turn over a few turns. Front fenders and hood have been unbolted and we're not sure if all the hardware is there. So what you see is what we got.
